Ten o'clock in the morning.
In the Qu family's small bedroom, Dong Xuebin and Qu Yunxuan, who were naked, were lying on the warm quilt and talking.
"It's too late anyway, let's go after lunch."
"You little rascal, you're just delaying my aunt's business."
"It's still early for spring shooting, so why be anxious?"
"What you said is easy. It will be too late to worry when the auction starts soon." Qu Yunxuan glanced at him and "pass the phone to aunt." After receiving the call, Qu Yunxuan still called the auction house and said she would go there in the afternoon. , after hanging up the phone, seeing Dong Xuebin next to him take out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, Qu Yunxuan smashed his mouth and complained: "The older you get, the less likely you are to learn well. You are not in good health yet, so don't smoke all the time." Picked it up. The lighter on the table clicked, and Qu Yunxuan lit it for him, "Just smoke one. You are not allowed to smoke anymore."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "Why do you look like my mother?"
"That's nonsense." Qu Yunxuan hit him on the head.
"Haha, by the way, how is the company's recent performance? Did you have a small shoot last time?"
Zhai Yunxuan reached out and took out an ashtray from a drawer of the bedside table and placed it next to the pillows of the two of them. "I was about to tell you that I just finished the eye makeup before the photo shoot, but the effect was not ideal. Maybe I didn't do it well." , maybe it was too serious a collision with other auction houses at that time, or maybe it was not publicized enough. Anyway, the confiscated items were not very good. There were not many auctioneers that day, and even fewer people held placards. There were about a dozen items. Everything was sold out.”
Dong Xuebin blinked, "A big loss?"
"That's not a big deal. It's a bit of a loss. The publicity costs are not recovered."
"Then how much total assets do we have now?"
"In terms of funding, it's about 30 million. It's still the same amount as after the last jade auction. It hasn't increased much. The competition is too fierce."
Dong Xuebin said: "Take your time and strive to have assets of over 50 million this year."
Qu Yunxuan shook her head, "Fifty million is too difficult, but I think it's pretty good if I can reach 31 million."
Speaking of this, Qu Yunxuan suddenly remembered something, her face straightened, she grabbed her warm autumn clothes and put them on, turned around, sat on the bed and looked at Dong Xuebin, "Xiaobin, let me tell you something. , Huilan called her aunt yesterday, and she asked me to have a talk with you, I think it’s quite necessary. "
Dong Xuebin choked, nervous and confused, "Ahem, you tell me."
Qu Yunxuan said: "Don't open your Mercedes-Benz business in the future, and don't bring your watch either."
"Ah? Why?" Dong Xuebin thought she was going to talk about emotional matters. Unexpectedly, such a sentence came, and he felt relieved.
Qu Yunxuan said worriedly: "Huilan said that your county's Commission for Discipline Inspection receives reports on you every day, sometimes one or two, sometimes three or four. Most of them report you for corruption and bribery, saying that you drive a hundred and fifty A car worth RMB 100,000, and a watch worth RMB 2,000,000, but with your salary of several thousand yuan a month, you cannot afford these things in your lifetime." Dong Xuebin has a good reputation and has been on the front line of several battles. Living the lives of ordinary people, but as a human being, it is never possible to satisfy everyone. There will always be people who dislike Dong Xuebin, and it is normal for there to be reports.
But Dong Xuebin didn't expect there to be so many, "Three or four letters a day? So many?"
Qu Yunxuan said yes, "Huilan said that the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and even the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection may also receive your report letter."
Dong Xuebin said angrily: "Brothers are well behaved and love to report. Let them report. Didn't you say that last time? The car was also recorded in the auction company. You lent it to me. Even if it is checked, It’s nothing, if I suddenly stop driving now, I’d be guilty of committing a crime, wouldn’t I?”
"That's not what they said."
"What do you say?"
Qu Yunxuan said patiently: "You used to be the deputy director of a county's public security bureau. Although you were very young and had achieved some achievements, you were limited to the palm-sized area of Yantai County. You were not eye-catching, but The museum theft case you recently solved is a major case that has attracted the attention of the whole country. Your name is also known to many people, so there are so many reporting letters, so you are attracting more and more attention. In this case You need to be more careful and don't care about your image as before. For example, if the village secretary of a village drives a Lamborghini, others won't bother to trouble him because his level is not that high. But if A mayor drives around in a Lamborghini car. Do you think this can be the same? People have already poked you in the back.
Dong Xuebin coughed, "Did Sister Xie tell you?"
"Well, she said she warned you before, but you didn't listen to her, so she asked me to talk to you again."
"I know what you two are talking about, but it's not that serious, right?"
Qu Yunxuan said earnestly: "Why not? Huilan can still suppress the report letter from the county [Discipline Inspection] Committee, but what about the city? What about the province? What if someone sees you uncomfortable and suddenly asks someone to investigate? What should you do? This kind of thing is not clear in itself. If I lend you a car, it can also be understood as a disguised bribe. That is to say, as long as someone in the city or province wants to touch you, it is simply easy. You have to be dismissed and investigated. At this time, you have made a meritorious service. Maybe the superiors will not take any action due to the impact, but no one can guarantee that they will not do so in the future. Do you understand? "
Dong Xuebin also felt the seriousness of the matter and remained silent.
"Listen to Auntie, don't drive the car for the time being, and don't take the watch at home."
It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Dong Xuebin is used to driving good cars, and now he is really uncomfortable going back to before liberation. But when he was frightened by the words of Aunt Xuan and Sister Xie, Dong Xuebin was also With lingering fear in her heart, Sister Xie said that she might be able to suppress the report letters from Yantai County, but what about the reports from the city and the province? Sister Xie's hand can't be stretched that long. Besides, Dong Xuebin is coming in and offending more and more people. If we don't guarantee that, whoever has the connections can go to the city and get rid of her at once. This is all a bad thing. .
It seems like you really need to keep a low profile
Dong Xuebin said: "But my car has been driven, and the transfer information on the bank has always been there. Haven't you sent money to my card several times, hundreds of thousands or millions, this... I can’t get rid of it. If someone really touches me, I won’t be able to hide away.”
Qu Yunxuan frowned hesitantly, "What should we do?"
Dong Xuebin thought for a while, "Can the money I earn from gambling on stones be considered my own?"
"...Have you gone to the local tax bureau to pay taxes?"
"Uh, no, isn't there a tax when you put it up for auction?"
"That's the buyer's tax. It's different. Besides, stone gambling itself is a very peripheral thing. The money earned here is not very fair, right?"
Dong Xuebin knows that the best way now is to make some clean money, legal and reasonable money. As long as there are no problems with money, this is his own asset. By then, not to mention the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, even the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. I'm not afraid of them checking, and if I drive a Mercedes-Benz and wear a famous watch in the future, it won't be a big problem. I spend the money I earn, and no one can say anything, but... where can I earn this legal money? Judging from Dong Xuebin's Mercedes-Benz, he would have to earn at least a few million to get it right.
Doing stocks? How to explain the original capital that can be used to trade stocks
Gambling on stones again? But the matter of betting on stones is a bit unclear.
After lunch, Qu Yunxuan drove back to Yunde Auction Company. Dong Xuebin watched TV alone with Aunt Xuan's house. While watching, he thought about it. Every time he thought that his official title would be threatened at any time, he would He was upset and had no intention of doing anything else. After wandering for a while, Dong Xuebin put his mobile phone and wallet in his pocket, turned off the TV and went out, going downstairs for a walk.
How to solve it
Any good ideas
As soon as I left the community, the sound of text messages on my mobile phone rang.
When I looked at the number, I saw that it was from Qu Yunxuan who had just left not long ago. It read: I want you to be more careful. Huilan means the same thing. It’s not that someone will really want to touch you, but I’m afraid you’ll regret it later. It's too late. Well, just don't drive when you return to Yantai County in a few days. As for other things, we can talk about it later. Don't think so much. Well, of course, if you can win a few hundred by buying lottery tickets, There will be no problem at all, haha.
Dong Xuebin smiled, put his phone away in his pocket, and continued walking forward.
One step, two steps, three steps, he suddenly froze and stood on the same spot, Huh? What did Aunt Xuan just say? Lottery? Lottery? Yes, of course the money earned from lottery tickets is legal. If you can win the jackpot, wouldn't everything be solved
That’s it!
Dong Xuebin looked up in high spirits and glanced around. There was a welfare lottery store across the road. Just do it. Dong Xuebin walked on the crosswalk to cross the road and walked straight into the store. There were quite a lot of people inside. The boss was typing numbers behind the machine, and several lottery ticket buyers were queuing up to choose numbers. There was a TV and a school blackboard with many numbers and numbers written on them, all for this year’s double color ball. Numerical probability.
"Do you think there will be O6 in the next issue?"
"It's doubtful. Didn't it just appear in the last issue? I think O8 and O9 have a chance."
"Old Liu, listen to me. There must be numbers 13 and 14 in this issue. If you don't believe me, just buy one and try it!"
"I think O2 is more likely!"
Dong Xuebin watched the lively discussion among several people, and he really couldn't understand the thoughts of the lottery players. In his opinion, this probability question was obviously unsolvable, and any number could appear, but he didn't know why the brothers still kept it all day long. Thinking about this, wouldn’t it be over with machine selection? Of course, this may be the fun of lottery. Just like people in the capital like to chat and talk, it cannot be said that this is meaningless at all.
Dong Xuebin looked around and looked at several lottery tickets in the store.
Which one to buy
Double color ball? This one has the biggest bonus, let’s take a look first. Dong Xuebin had paid attention to these before, but he rarely read them after entering the system, so he couldn't remember the rules clearly. After observing for a while and asking a few old lottery players, Dong Xuebin came to his mind. Shake your head, the double color ball has a lot of prizes and the gameplay is simple, but you can’t use your BACK for the time being. When the lottery is drawn every week, it takes about more than an hour from the deadline to purchase to the time of the draw. In other words, Dong Xuebin at least It takes three months to accumulate BACK to have any hope of winning. Dong Xuebin was worried about being reported, so he obviously couldn't wait three months.
BACK is only about five minutes, so I need to find a shorter one.
Dong Xuebin continued to search, which one? Which one has a shorter deadline from purchase to draw
"Little brother, which one do you want to buy? Let me introduce it to you?" The shop owner over there finished his work and walked over to Dong Xuebin to greet him.
Dong Xuebin said: "Oh, is there any lottery with a shorter draw time?"
The shop owner was stunned, "What kind of game do you want to play?"
"Well, let me use an analogy. It's the kind of lottery ticket that won't take long to draw the prize after the purchase deadline."
"Oh." The shopkeeper suddenly said: "You are talking about PK picks, right?"
Dong Xuebin blinked, "PK Shi? What kind of rule is this?"
The shop owner explained: "The detailed rules are written on a drawing board over there. Let me briefly explain them to you. They are similar to the lottery in Chongqing and several places. Each bet is two yuan, and the lottery will be drawn every five minutes. It is equivalent to saying that the deadline is In about a minute after purchasing, the lottery results will be available, and there are many ways to play. Anyway, the highest bonus is to choose 12345678910 and arrange these ten numbers in order. If they are all arranged correctly, you can get 888,880 A bonus of one hundred and eighty-eight yuan, which is also the highest bonus for a single bet.”
Dong Xuebin felt happy, hey, this is quite qualified.
"What about the cap?" Dong Xuebin asked.
The shop owner said: "You mean the prize pool, right? There is no prize pool for PK. Anyway, the maximum prize for the current period is 10,000 yuan. If four people win the first prize, they will still get 888,888 yuan. If the total first prize amount exceeds 5 If it’s 10,000, it’s the same as Shuangseqiu. It’s divided equally. Anyway, the cap is 40,000 per period. Well, you can read the instructions over there for details. It’s all written down.”
"Okay, thank you very much."
Dong Xuebin walked over and studied it.
five minutes…
ten minutes…
twenty minutes…
Dong Xuebin finally figured out the details. It is feasible. This PK picking method is definitely feasible! That’s it! It just solves my urgent need!
Dong Xuebin was not in a hurry to buy, because there were not many BACKs, and he had to ensure success at the first time. He stood in front of the PS lottery TV and watched it without blinking. The PK lottery was not live broadcast on home TV, but followed There is a TV with a dedicated frequency band in the store, which directly broadcasts the lottery results from the Welfare Lottery Center. There are ten racing cars on it. Whoever runs first will have the first number on the car, and so on. It is actually a different kind of game. It's just a method. There is no essential difference between this and the swing of the two-color ball. It is all a matter of probability.
Ten minutes later.
"PK pick up is about to open."
"Let's take a look. I just bought two bets."
"I bought one too, the one that chooses ten."
"Hey, it's not easy to win the tenth choice. It depends on your luck."
Dong Xuebin's eyes were fixed, and he also looked over. The PK pick-up purchase was ending, and the lottery hadn't started yet. After waiting for a short while, ten cars from one to ten appeared on the starting line. After a while, Several racing cars started at the same time and rushed out of the starting line!
"Run away! Number eight is number one!"
"Oh, it's the same as the one I bought." "Don't worry, the starting ranking is definitely not the final result. They are all alternate. You won't know what it is until the end."
The lottery players were chirping and talking, and some even clenched their fists and muttered the numbers they bought.
The current rankings from first to tenth are: 8, 10, 1, 9, 6, 5, 7, 2, 4, 3.
"It's almost over, it's almost over."
'Why did No. 8 come down? Go up! open ah! Go! "
Under the watchful eyes of Dong Xuebin and several lottery players, ten cars finally crossed the finish line, and the final results came out, 1, 2, 5, 8, 10, 9, 7, 3, 4, 6!
"Ouch! Almost!" one person complained.
Another lottery player also sighed and shook his head, "I won't buy this anymore. It's harder to win than a two-color ball."
"I'm done, I just got two numbers right."
Dong Xuebin stared at the screen and memorized these numbers quickly in his mind.
Although this kind of lottery seems simple, in fact, anyone who knows a little bit about advanced mathematics can calculate it. With ten numbers arranged and combined, the chance that you can choose the correct sequence in one lottery is almost slim, otherwise there would be no chance of success. The big prize is not that easy to win. Playing this thing really depends on luck. If you are not lucky, you will not win the 880,000 yuan even if you spend millions to buy it!
Of course, except for Dong Xuebin, he naturally won't rely on luck.
OK! BACK two minutes!
Time suddenly retreats!
As soon as the lottery shop's voice dropped, Dong Xuebin, who came back to his senses, saw several old lottery players gathered around the TV: "PK picks are about to open."
"Let's take a look. I just bought two bets."
"I bought one too, the one that chooses ten."
"Hey, it's not easy to win the tenth choice. It depends on your luck."
coming! Dong Xuebin hurriedly walked to the shop owner and the lottery machine, and said quickly: "Can PK Shi still be sold now?"
The shop owner looked at the time and said, "It's okay, but you have to hurry up. The transaction will end soon. Do you want to choose by machine? It's faster to choose by machine."
"No, I say you fight."
"...Okay, you can hurry up before it's too late.
"It's a game of choosing ten." Dong Xuebin hurriedly pinched his fingers, recalling the sequence of numbers on the TV, "The ten numbers are... 1, 2, 5, 8, 10, 9, 7, 3, 4, 6 ”
The shopkeeper did it very quickly, "How many bets should I buy?"
Dong Xuebin thought about it and said, "Six notes!"
If he can win the prize, six bets of 880,000 will be exactly over 5 million, so the prize will be all his. Of course, the premise is that no one else wins the jackpot again, otherwise the 5 million prize will be divided equally.
Snapped! The shopkeeper raised his hand from the machine and said, "Huh, okay, I just caught up."
Dong Xuebin also exhaled, "Thank you very much."
The shop owner smiled, pointed to the TV over there and said, "Just wait for the results, they will be out in a while."
Dong Xuebin held the lottery ticket he bought in his hand, not knowing whether he could win or not. Mainly because it was such a random thing, and it was inevitable that there would be some small changes if it was not guaranteed.
God forbid! !
