Zhang Tianxing and Zhu Dayong were chatting when several people boarded the train midway.
Seeing a familiar figure flash by, Zhang Tianxing was stunned. Wasn't this the famous "White Gloves" from later generations?
There was no bank loan she couldn't arrange, no industry she didn't get involved in. In his previous life, Zhang Tianxing had only seen this woman's figure in reports.
Why was the impression so profound? It was because during a disaster, it was precisely with the help of this Bai Zhi that their group managed to escape.
It was a shame that Bai Zhi later disappeared without a trace.
He hadn't expected that the young Bai Zhi would be so innocent and charming.
However, Zhang Tianxing hadn't confirmed if this was the legendary Bai Zhi.
Something happened on the train. The middle-aged man took out a bottle of drink and started drinking.
The woman glanced at the cap of the middle-aged man's bottle and immediately screamed.
"Big brother, you're so lucky, your bottle cap won! It's the first prize!"
The middle-aged man was startled and quickly grabbed the bottle cap in his hand.
"What did you say? This bottle cap won the prize?" The middle-aged man picked up the bottle cap and looked at it carefully.
People nearby could clearly see the words "First Prize" printed on the bottle cap.
The woman took the middle-aged man's drink bottle and looked at it again, then cried out loudly.
"This big brother, you've struck it rich! It says fifty thousand yuan for the first prize!!"
Her tone was filled with envy. Everyone on the train was shocked.
The incident of winning the first prize just by drinking a bottle of beverage actually happened on this train. Why hadn't they bought a couple of bottles themselves?
If they had known, they would have bought a couple more. When they had money, they'd buy two bottles and pour one out, not for any reason other than being rich and willful.
But alas, they were just spectators.
"Big brother, what's your surname, and where are you going?" a small businessman next to him asked the middle-aged man.
"My name is Yang Wei. I'm going home for something. My elderly parent is ill, so I'm going back to take care of them."
Yang Wei suddenly asked the woman, "Where do I go to claim the prize?"
The woman looked at the drink bottle. "It says to claim the prize in Shengjing, and the validity expires on October 1st. Brother, your prize is about to expire! You should claim it soon."
Yang Wei's face changed instantly, performing a shift from sunny to overcast for everyone. Yang Wei lowered his head and thought for a moment.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a patient at home, and this prize has an expiry date. I want to sell this prize on the train. Whoever gives me the most money, I'll sell the bottle cap to them."
Hearing this, Zhang Tianxing sighed. Familiar plot, familiar tactics.
It seemed he had encountered a scam. He didn't expect such a scheme to exist at this time.
Zhu Dayong was tempted and asked in a low voice, "Tianxing, later I want to bid for that bottle cap. The prize money is fifty yuan."
Zhang Tianxing gave his good brother a look of exasperation. "Listen to me, don't buy this. Nine out of ten times, it's fake."
Hearing Zhang Tianxing's answer, Zhu Dayong's face was full of disbelief, but he didn't mention buying it anymore.
At this moment, Yang Wei's honest voice sounded: "How about this, I'll sell it cheap, forty thousand. You'll make ten thousand profit immediately if you buy it."
The small businessman next to him laughed. "First, you still have to pay taxes. If you get forty thousand out of fifty thousand, that's not bad. After deducting taxes and travel expenses, it's probably less than forty thousand. You really think it's good to sell it for forty thousand."
Yang Wei's face turned red. "I don't know. Sister, is that really the case?"
Seeing Yang Wei's pleading gaze, Bai Zhi nodded. "That's right, that's the situation. You have to pay taxes. That's the amount."
Hearing this, Yang Wei staggered. "Then how about this, I'll sell it for thirty thousand. Is anyone interested in thirty thousand? Come one, come all, don't miss out. If it weren't for the family emergency, I wouldn't be selling at a loss."
The small businessman next to him had a gloomy expression. He wanted to bid, but he was afraid it was a trap. However, he glanced at Bai Zhi.
"Sister, are you not planning to bid?"
"I want to, but I don't have money. I'm just a laborer, and I came back with a stomach full of anger without earning any money." Bai Zhi said irritably.
Hearing this, the small businessman's thoughts became active. It seemed they were not working together, so this must be an accident.
Should he bid for it? The market was bad this year, basically playing for free. Earning ten thousand was ten thousand.
The small businessman thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Big Brother Yang Wei, are you willing to sell it for twenty thousand? If so, we'll trade cash, otherwise, forget it."
Without a hundred percent profit, he wouldn't bid. Who knew if he'd be fooled this year? So, saving a little was a little.
Thirty thousand felt a bit high. Twenty thousand was a reasonable price. Besides, who on this train would carry cash? Only a rich person like himself.
Nowadays, who would carry twenty thousand in cash? Almost no one.
It was because he was wealthy and happened to have cash on him.
Yang Wei was conflicted. "This is too little money, isn't it? You can get forty thousand if you claim it. You're only offering twenty thousand. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?"
"There's nothing unreasonable about it. Think about it, I'll give you cash on the spot. Who carries cash these days? Don't you think so?"
Yang Wei nodded. He had no choice but to accept. It wasn't easy to meet a rich person these days.
Rich people usually drove their own cars, who would take the train? This was also a matter of luck.
Seeing this, Zhang Tianxing smiled. "Bring the bottle cap here. I'll buy it for thirty thousand, but not in cash. You'll have to withdraw the money with me after we get off the train."
Hearing this, Zhu Dayong was stunned. What was this move? Didn't you say they were scammers? Why were you buying from scammers?
No, he realized he couldn't keep up with Zhang Tianxing's train of thought.
The people on the train immediately got excited. Competition made things more intense.
The journey was long, and they had no intention of sleeping. It was a good chance to watch the two of them fight over the winning beverage cap.
The small businessman looked displeased.
"Little brother, I'm in foreign trade. Don't we usually follow the principle of 'first come, first served'? Isn't this a bit impolite of you?"
Zhang Tianxing smiled. "It's a bit impolite, but you'll thank me later."
Hearing Zhang Tianxing's words, everyone was confused. This young man looked handsome and refined, but his words were so unreliable. It was because the boss had a good temper; if he had a bad temper, he would have thrown you off the train long ago.
Seeing Zhang Tianxing make a move, Yang Wei was stunned and quickly said, "I've already agreed with this boss for twenty thousand. Twenty thousand it is. I'm a person of integrity. If you offer thirty thousand, I won't pay you any attention. I didn't bid before, and I won't sell to you now. That's just how willful I am."
