Power and Wealth Chapter 783

Chapter 783: Football lottery

A few days later.

Morning. Central Party School.

Dong Xuebing returned to his dormitory after his morning lesson. He is exhausted and throws himself onto the bed to rest. His mother had come and is staying at Sister Xie’s house. He was busy with his wedding preparation and still had to attend lessons. He can send the invitation cards to some ordinary leaders. Still, he got to visit the high-ranking leaders with Xie Huilan to invite them. There’s no time to rest.

However, getting married to Xie Huilan is Dong Xuebing’s dream, and he doesn’t mind the hassles now.

Ring… ring… ring….

Dong Xuebing answered. “What is it? Huilan?”

“The wedding photos are ready, and I am at Wang Fu Jing. Can you come over?”

“You can decide on your own. I had just finished my lesson and might take a while to get there.”

“Alright. Your mother and I will pick the photos.”

“My Mum is there too?”

“Yes. She says she wants to look at the photos, and we come together.”

“My Mum had been very excited these few days. Help me look after her as she has high blood pressure.”

“Haha…. I know. Oh, how much money do we have in our bank cards?”

“We had spent some for the preparations, and I think we should have around 100,000 RMB left. Are we short of money?”

“I am not sure as we might need money for other areas. I have not asked my parents for help. If it is not enough, I will ask my mother and let them pay the rest.”

“No…. we cannot do that.” Dong Xuebing is prideful and does not want to ask Xie Huilan’s parents for help. “Don’t worry about money. I…. I will think of something.”

“Don’t go and borrow money from others.”

“I will not borrow money. I know what to do.”

Life is demanding without money.

Dong Xuebing felt a sense of urgency after hanging up. They had almost finished spending all their money on their wedding, and how were they going to survive in the future? He is too prideful to ask for her family’s help. He needs a way to get money in a short time. Capital of 100,000 RMB is too little to make money from the stock and futures market. It will be a waste of time….

Dong Xuebing’s only solution is lottery.

But there’s a problem. Dong Xuebing had won the lottery several times, and he won 100 bets of Double-colored balls lottery last year. Although Qu Yunxuan claimed the prize, people might suspect him due to his relationship with her. Furthermore, how can someone be so lucky?

Lottery….

Lottery….

Suddenly, the door opens.

Roommate Han Xinghua returned. “Xuebing, you are back.”

“Yes. I just returned. The classroom is too hot, and I returned for a short rest.”

“Today’s weather is stuffy. I think it’s going to rain.” Han Xinghua walked over with a copy of the newspaper and kept it in a drawer. Dong Xuebing noticed a few words on it. It’s about the European Cup.

Dong Xuebing brightens up. “Brother Han, you like football?”

Han Xinghua laughed. “Yes. It’s the European Cup now, and I will buy sports newspapers every day. I went out just now to get today’s copy. Are you also interested?”

“I watched it once in a while.”

“Terrific. We can discuss football later. Let’s go. The class is starting soon.”

“We still have ten minutes. I am going to rest a while more. I have been too tired recently.”

“Alright. I will go to class first. Don’t be late. Your marks will be affected.”

“Ok.”

Dong Xuebing remembers his roommate would buy a copy of the sports newspaper every day and keep it in that drawer.

Football….

Football….

That’s right. I can buy a football lottery.

Dong Xuebing got excited and felt this was a good idea.

The reason is simple. The football lottery is different from the Double-colored lottery and other lotteries. The football lottery is not entirely dependent on luck. You need knowledge of the teams, players, and managers. The ones who win the jackpot are mostly the ones who understand the game well. Of course, luck plays a part too. People might feel suspicious if he buys and wins the football lottery jackpot, but no one can say anything. After all, technical knowledge of sports is crucial in this lottery.

This is it!

Dong Xuebing urgently needs to solve his financial problems. He didn’t hesitate and went online to the sports lottery website. He opened the betting page and saw the European cup was ongoing. Twenty-four matches will be played from today and the next four days. The deadline for bets is also today. Czech vs. Poland, Greece vs. Russia, etc.

Dong Xuebing doesn’t know much about football betting, and he checked the betting rules.

Dong Xuebing knows how to play and bet after reading the rules. He stood up and went to his roommate’s drawer. He pulled it out and saw four copies of the sports newspaper inside. He closed it again and placed his palm on it. “FORWARD!”

One minute….

Three minutes….

Five minutes….

Forward deactivated.

Dong Xuebing took a deep breath and pulled open the drawer slowly.

The four copies of newspapers had become ten copies.

Yes!

FORWARD had taken effect.

Dong Xuebing quickly took out the few copies on top and checked the dates. Tomorrow’s copy, the day after tomorrow, and the following few days!

Dong Xuebing is excited and quickly brings all the papers to his laptop. He checked the matches on the webpage against his newspapers and wrote down all the results. Although he doesn’t follow football closely, he knows which teams are stronger and weaker. He looks at the results and knows not many people can win the jackpot. There are upsets in five to six matches, and two of them are great upsets!

Very few people can guess the results of these five to six matches as most people will not expect the hot favorites to lose.

Dong Xuebing is different as he doesn’t even need to guess the results. He doesn’t need to analyze the teams and matches, as he knows the final scores of the matches!

Dong Xuebing can start to place his bets. He looked at the time and couldn’t care if he would be late for his class. He immediately registered an account and picked the 24 matches win-lose bet. He chose this bet type because the chances of guessing the winners of 24 matches are slim, and the odds are better.

Of course, Dong Xuebing is not stupid to place only one bet. It will be too obvious.

To cover up his tracks and not get suspected, Dong Xuebing used all the money on Sister Xie’s bank card to bet. He selected the winners of the matches randomly despite knowing the winners. He made many such bets. After he made those bets, he placed thirty bets on the win-draw-lose bets according to the results in the newspaper. The jackpot is slightly more than 100 million, and thirty bets are the limit. The prize money will not increase even if he places more bets.

Ok!

Dong Xuebing clicked on the payment button to complete the transactions.

Dong Xuebing stretches himself and checks if he has made any mistake before burning the future newspaper copies with his lighter in the bathroom. He flushed the ashes away and washed the bathroom to remove all traces.

Suddenly, Dong Xuebing’s phone rang.

It’s Xie Huilan. “What have you done?”

Dong Xuebing is puzzled. “What do you mean?”

“You had used my internet banking earlier, and I received notifications on my phone.”

“Huh? Err…. Yes. I used some of it.”

Xie Huilan replied. “You call this some of it? You had used almost all of our money. That’s 100,000 RMB. You don’t hold back when it comes to spending money.”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “I did that to make money.”

“How much did you make?”

“I bought 100,000 RMB bets for the Football lottery. I have a good feeling about this.”

“Are you sure we will not lose this 100,000 RMB? We will be penniless if we lose this.”

“Don’t worry. You should know I will not do anything if I am not confident. We will win the grand prize this week!”

“Alright. I will wait for you to win another lottery jackpot. Haha….”

“Eh? You think I can win?”

“I can say the word ‘impossible’ doesn’t exist in your dictionary. You had made 300 million RMB from scratch. What else you cannot do? Furthermore, I don’t mind you spending the money.”

“Huilan, this is the first time you treat me so good.”

“What do you mean? Are you saying that I had mistreated you in the past?”

“Ah…. I don’t mean that. I only feel you are slightly overbearing previously.”

“You still don’t know a lot of things about me. I will show you how caring I am after we are married. Haha….”

“Huh? Are you serious?”

“Hmmm…. No.”

Dong Xuebing: “……”
