Chapter 96 You Are Really Talented

Back at the third uncle's house in Cuiyuan Building, I saw Yusheng, Huagu, Aping and others sitting at the table with sad faces, discussing Xiaolan's injury. The last time Xiaolan fell down, she was sent to the hospital for examination and found to have a heart attack. , an operation is necessary, but the operation fee is more than 100,000 yuan, Huagu can afford so much money.

"I only have tens of thousands of yuan here, which is far from enough." Selling Yusheng said with a frown. The neighbors at this time are similar to those in the mainland in the early years. Share, and neighbors will provide help within their ability when they encounter something.

This is much better than in the future when everyone lives door to door but never communicates with each other. Shen Long thought about it for economic reasons. Most of the people who live in the same community in the future will be strangers, but now most of the people who live in the same hospital in the mainland are in the same unit. When you go to work, the relationship is naturally close; the low-level people in Xiangjiang will not move easily, and after a long time, everyone's relationship will naturally become familiar.

This kind of story of mutual help at the bottom of the society is also an enduring theme of Hong Kong films, such as the early classic "Seventy-two Tenants", such as the residents of the Piggy Walled City in "Kung Fu"...

Selling Yusheng, Aping and others are all at the bottom of the society. They don’t have much money. The neighbors in the neighborhood are in trouble, but they are willing to help. This kind of feeling moved Shen Long very much, "Hey, I just went to gamble with my third uncle. I won a lot later, and there are tens of thousands of yuan in total, why don't I use it for you to use!"

"How can I do this?" Hua Gu was very embarrassed, Mai Yusheng and A Ping had been together for more than ten years, and they had a certain relationship foundation, but Shen Long just came from the mainland, and he didn't even say a few words. It's not easy for Hua Gu to ask him to borrow money, and Hua Gu's income is not high now, so she doesn't know when she will be able to pay back the money.

"Aaron, you just came from the mainland and haven't found a job yet. It's time to spend money. You should keep the money. You can rent a house in the future and find a way to ask someone to find a job; Xiaolan's surgery fee Let's figure out a way." Selling Yusheng stopped Shen Long, the third uncle's house is very small, sleeping A Xing and the third uncle are already crowded, in his opinion, sooner or later Shen Long will go out to rent a house The rent in Xiangjiang is not low.

"Selling Yusheng, what can you do?" A Ping said angrily, smoking a cigarette.

"I know a jockey from the Jockey Club, and I got a lot of horse racing inside information from him. It just so happens that tomorrow is the last day of the racing season. If we use the tens of thousands of dollars to bet on the horses, Xiaolan will get the surgery fee! "Selling Yusheng came up with his own method.

Shen Long didn't laugh out loud. You guys are really talented. If you don't have money for surgery, you want to bet on horses. Are you not afraid of money? Even if there is an inside story about horse racing, I'm afraid it's not something you, the bottom of society, can know, right? This feeling is as unreliable as your neighbor who runs a barbecue stall next door telling you that he knows a stock market tycoon, got the inside story of the stock market from him, and urges you to speculate in stocks.

But after thinking about it, Shen Long couldn't laugh again. The general bottom of the society, when they need to spend a lot of money in a short period of time, how much can they do? If you don't go betting on the horses, what should you do if you are still short of 100,000 yuan for the surgery? to borrow? The relatives and friends at the bottom are all poor, how much money can they borrow?

To ask the underworld to borrow usury? It might as well bet on horses, at least betting on horses would mean losing your savings, and borrowing money from usury would ruin your fortune.

Sell ​​a house? Judging by their appearance, 80% of the house they live in is also rented, and there is no way to sell it.

"Hey, I wish you luck tomorrow!" Thinking of this, Shen Long didn't say anything, and reached out to pat Auction Yusheng's shoulder, "If it doesn't work, I'll help you find a way."

"Thank you, Aaron, that's enough loyalty." Selling Yusheng gave a thumbs up. Shen Long's move moved them very much, as did Hua Gu, A Ping and others. The neighbors of Cuiyuan Building have slowly started Shen Long was accepted.

The next day, the third uncle brought the big guys to the racetrack, and sold Yusheng early in the morning to buy 20,000 yuan according to the inside story.

Hold the betting ticket and wait anxiously for the game to start.

The third uncle habitually asked Ah Xing how he looked. Ah Xing looked at the horses and said, "The number three horse looks listless, and the number four horse has lung problems..... Buy the number seven horse."

"How about the number seven horse? None of the horse judges in Xiangjiang looks good at the number seven horse!" Before the third uncle could speak, the horse fans around laughed, which made the third uncle feel at a loss. Went to buy a few sets.

However, Shen Long took out all the money and bought the No. 7 horse. The race started, and the No. 7 horse quickly broke through the encirclement and crossed the finish line first. This made Shen Long rich.

Horse racing in Xiangjiang generally puts everyone’s bets in a pool, and the banker or the government deducts part of it, and the rest is divided among the winners according to the betting ratio. People are optimistic, and there are naturally fewer people who share money with Shen Long, and he has made a lot of money.

Now the third uncle believed in Ah Xing's ability, and quickly let him watch the next race, but did not let Ah Xing say that he should write it on a piece of paper and hand it to him, so as not to let others hear and divide his profits.

But I didn't want Ah Xing to write a 9 on the paper. When the third uncle took it, he turned the paper upside down and regarded it as a 6. He happily went to bet on the number 6 horse. He stretched his neck cleverly and bought it immediately after seeing it. Horse No. 6.

Shen Long remembered the plot, so he didn't follow suit, and continued to bet all his money on the No. 9 horse. This time, the No. 9 horse was also not favored by many people, although he bet more, and the odds were more than six times.

After winning, Shen Long made a fortune again. He originally bought 10,000 pieces of old Hong Kong dollars. He went to the gambling stall that day and won more than 100,000. In the last game, he won more than ten times the super-unpopular No. 7 Mabo. He won another six times in the game, so he earned tens of millions within a few days of coming to Xiangjiang this time.

Redeeming the prize and keeping the check carefully, Shen Long went back to the stand and found Hua Gu and the third uncle. At this moment, Ah Xing was holding Hua Gu's invalid betting ticket with his hands to modify the numbers on it with special functions.

Ah Xing changed the lottery ticket to the No. 7 horse, so that Huagu got the money for Xiaolan's surgery, but because of his excessive consumption, he couldn't use the special function for a long time.

Back home, the third uncle tried every means to get all kinds of supplements so that A Xing could recover early, and he could continue to gamble with him to make money, but Shen Long made another suggestion, "A Xing, gambling is not the right way after all, and I just happen to bet on horses." If we win some, why don't we do some business together?"

"Business? I don't know how?" Ah Xing looked blank.
