After leaving the sports lottery center, Lin Mo took the opportunity to say his stomach was feeling uncomfortable, so it was still Li Jinwen who drove, heading straight to Nanqiao Stall ready to sign the rental agreement for the store.
Not long after,
the company account sent a message.
“Korean team net victory 0:3, all profit points also thrown in, trouble for you.”
Lin Mo avoided Li Jinwen and stealthily sent the purchase information, then entered the mobile banking app and transferred 1.4.2 million to the designated account.
“Hiss ”
After completing the transfer, Lin Mo secretly took a deep breath.
His emotions were somewhat stirred!
After all, this was the biggest expenditure he had ever made in his life!
It was hard not to feel emotional fluctuations!
What’s more critical is that by tomorrow, this sum could multiply several times over!
As for why he didn’t transfer all the several hundred thousand left in his bank account?
On one hand, he still had to pay the rent later, and on the other, Lin Mo felt he must have some cash readily available.
The sports lottery winnings would arrive at the earliest by tomorrow, if a bit late, then the day after.
If during these two days the system provides some more profitable information and he doesn’t have any money, that would be quite embarrassing.
Manager Wang worked quickly,
just as the Willing mini had parked at Nanqiao Stall, a series of printed lottery ticket images were sent over.
A single lottery ticket costs 2 yuan, with a maximum multiple of 99 per bet, the maximum amount for a single ticket is 20,000 yuan.
Manager Wang sent him a total of 75 tickets in the end, which means including the profit points he was originally entitled to.
And because he was betting on scores, he didn’t need to place a combination bet of 2 entries, which saved him some money.
“7% of 1.42 million should be 99,400 yuan, subtracting the cost of 4 lottery tickets, 80,000 yuan, this guy took more than 10,000 yuan from my profits.”
Lin Mo did a quick calculation, Manager Wang had taken 14,000 yuan from him.
He was taking huge risks in gambling while the other simply clicked a few times with a mouse.
But that was unavoidable,
in many industries in society, one shouldn’t just look at the salary,
although he still hadn’t figured out the logic behind Manager Wang’s earlier comments about full purchase of the lottery tickets, he was certain the guy definitely profited from it.
And in fact, he had helped him out a great deal, as it wasn’t that easy to purchase sports lottery tickets online.
Printing them one by one offline would take too much time, and his wife might notice something amiss.
Of course, it was just a matter of mutual need.
“Alright, thank you Manager Wang.”
After replying with a message, Lin Mo got out of the car.
Li Jinwen asked puzzledly, “Honey, what have you been doing along the way, clutching your phone without saying a word?”
“Checking the price of ginger shoot,” Lin Mo gave an evasive reply and hurriedly put the phone in his pocket.
Betting on football was something that absolutely couldn’t be let known to his wife.
Not even if he won money!
Li Jinwen despised two things most in life, one was gambling and the other was excessive drinking.
These were psychological shadows left by her father.
If it weren’t for the information provided by the system, Lin Mo would definitely not have considered betting on football.
“Mr. Lin, have you finished all your business?”
At that time,
the agent, who had already been waiting at the entrance of the shop, approached, with a stylishly dressed elderly man following beside him.
The agent introduced enthusiastically, “This is the landlord.”
Lin Mo smiled and extended his hand, “Nice to meet you, just call me Lin.”
The elderly man looked to be about 70 years old, dressed in ‘The North Face,’ with a pair of Air Force Ones sporting a big checkmark on his feet.
“Mm, hello.”
The elderly man was also very polite, shaking hands briefly before saying, “The agent mentioned that you plan to open a sports lottery shop here?”
Lin Mo nodded, “There’s not much else to do these days, so I thought I’d give it a try.”
While talking, they all walked into the shop.
The house was rectangular in structure, about 20 square meters in size, and from the traces of decoration, it seemed that it used to be a beauty salon.
The elderly man said with a smile, “The size of this place is big enough, isn’t it? You could even do both sports and welfare lotteries here.”
“Put two tables here specifically for them to play scratch cards; over here, hang up a sign displaying winning numbers.”
“After 1 retired, I’ve taken a liking to studying lottery tickets, especially football betting.”
“There’s a World Cup qualifier tonight, and I was planning to buy some tickets. From now on, it will be convenient; I’ll just come to your place.”
“No problem, just send me a message on WeChat next time, and I’ll buy them for you,” Lin Mo said with a smile, asking, “What are you planning to bet on tonight, the score or the win/lose?”
“Dammit, of course the score. What’s the point of betting on the win/lose between Korea and our national team? It’s not like you want to do a 2-string-i bet, right?” The elderly man said matter-of-factly, and continued, “You might as well bet on 0:2; I’ve bet ten thousand yuan!”
It made sense,
the strengths were completely on different levels, with little doubt about the outcome.
The agent seemed to know a bit about football too, or perhaps just to fit in with the atmosphere, was nodding incessantly on the side, “I bet on the same score, but I bet a total of three hundred yuan, two hundred on 0:2, and another hundred on our national team winning 1:0 over Korea.”
“Well, you gotta have dreams!”
Li Jinwen showed little interest, sitting on the side and perusing the rental contract.
The elderly man turned to Lin Mo again and asked, “You’re opening a lottery shop; you must know better than us. What do you think should be the bet for tonight’s score?”
Lin Mo glanced at his wife, made sure she wasn’t paying attention to the conversation, and then said, “Actually, I don’t know much either, I just feel like our national team is definitely going to lose.”
Lin Mo was not about to casually reveal the information he had.
It was best to make money quietly.
Blabbering might attract trouble later.
After some more small talk, Li Jinwen, who was next to him, picked up the contract and said, “Honey, I’ve looked over the contract, there’s no issue. You stay here and handle the formalities, I’ll go pick up Xiaoxiao from school.”
It was already past 6 o’clock, and there were less than 20 minutes left before Lin Xiaoxiao would get out of school.
Lin Mo, a little worried, asked, “Are you sure you’re okay driving alone? Maybe I should go with you?”
Li Jinwen shook her head, “It’s fine, it’s just two streets over, not far at all. Plus, I need to learn to drive by myself sooner or later!”
The place was indeed very close to Future Star Primary School, just straight down the road and through a few intersections.
“Alright then, just be careful on the road, and call me if anything happens.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not a kid. You just focus on signing the contract, and don’t get the price wrong!”
After seeing Li Jinwen off, Lin Mo began to sign the rental contract and transfer the payment with the landlord.
The annual rent was 45,000 yuan, the deposit 20,000 yuan, and the agency fee was 2% of the total payment, which for 65,000 yuan is 1,300 yuan. Lin Mo rounded up and gave the agent a little extra, 1,500 yuan.
It wasn’t that Lin Mo was foolishly generous.
The original rent for the shop was 50,000 yuan a year; it was the agent who had managed to reduce it to 45,000 yuan. Perhaps because Lin Mo had also been an agent before, he felt it was fine to let the young man earn a bit more.
He had followed him around all day on an electric bike, which wasn’t easy, so he gave an extra two hundred as a token of appreciation for the effort.
There were three copies of the contract. After signing, the landlord gave some instructions and then left the shop with his copy. The agent, holding another copy of the contract, packed up his stuff, thanked Lin Mo several times, and then left..
