Chapter 316: Invite A Few Rich Women To Cheer You On!
Every profession has its unspoken “hidden rules.”
Jiang Tao had previously heard his aunt, An Mingrong, who used to run a lottery shop, talk about it.
When they opened a batch of scratch cards to sell, they would pay attention to how many prizes had already been awarded from that batch.
How many 50 yuan prizes, how many 100 yuan prizes, and the total amount of prize money awarded.
For a batch of scratch cards with a selling price of 1000 yuan, it would be considered good if the total prize money awarded averaged 500 yuan.
If a batch of scratch cards was more than half sold, and prizes totaling four or five hundred yuan had already been awarded, then the remaining ones were likely to be blank tickets with no prizes.
If a batch of scratch cards was almost sold out, and only two or three hundred yuan in prizes had been awarded, then the remaining ones were likely to contain larger prize amounts.
As long as a boss has been running a lottery shop for a while, they basically do this.
Even more so.
Some “black-hearted” lottery shop owners would reapply the coating to scratch cards that had already been scratched.
This practice is clearly illegal, but it’s hard to resist because it makes money and is extremely difficult to detect.
The risk is low, and the profit is high.
Therefore, many people take the risk and earn this ill-gotten gain.
Tian Mingrong told Jiang Tao that when buying scratch cards, it’s best to buy those that are still connected together.
If you see ones that have already been torn off one by one, it’s best to stay away and not have too many expectations.
Qiu Lizhen sensed that the scratch card batch had a very low hit rate and the amounts were small.
Therefore, her professional intuition led her to keep the remaining dozen or so cards for herself.
If Jiang Tao hadn’t come in person today, and if Qiu Lizhen wasn’t his fan, she wouldn’t have told him these things.
“Sister, I appreciate your kindness, but you really don’t need to give them to me.”
“It’s not easy for you to earn money, Sister. The price is the price.”
Jiang Tao felt embarrassed to take so many scratch cards from her for free.
As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and voluntarily scanned the payment code on the counter.
As for whether his actions had intercepted Qiu Lizhen’s opportunity?
That was also non-existent.
According to the introduction and explanation of the Daily Intelligence System.
That special scratch card would only trigger the grand prize mentioned in the intelligence if it was scratched by him, the host bound to the system.
If Qiu Lizhen had scratched it herself, at most she would have won 500 yuan, maybe 1000 yuan.
Therefore, Jiang Tao did not feel any guilt.
“Brother, if you say that, I’ll keep these scratch cards for myself, and you can buy them elsewhere.”
Qiu Lizhen crossed her arms, adopting a stance where if he didn’t accept her kindness, she wouldn’t give him the scratch cards.
“…”
Jiang Tao was speechless at this, as he had never met such an enthusiastic elder sister in the capital city like Qiu Lizhen.
“Alright, alright, then I won’t be polite with you, Sister. It’s fate that we met here. Let’s add each other on WeChat.”
Seeing Qiu Lizhen’s determined attitude, Jiang Tao had no choice but to compromise. He opened his WeChat QR code and showed it to her.
“Now that’s more like it!”
Qiu Lizhen smiled, picked up her mobile phone, and scanned Jiang Tao’s QR code with a ding. They then added each other as WeChat friends.
After adding each other, Qiu Lizhen stopped wasting time and turned to go behind the counter.
She took out the dozen or so “So Close Yet So Beautiful, Come to Hebei This Weekend” lottery tickets she had kept from a locked drawer.
“Here you go, little brother Jiang. We’ve met today, Sister and Brother. Come visit me often in the future.”
Qiu Lizhen said as she handed the scratch cards to Jiang Tao.
“Thanks, Sister Qiu. I’ll definitely come by often if I have time. I have other things to do today, so I won’t bother you.”
Jiang Tao confidently accepted the scratch cards, smiled, and bid farewell to Qiu Lizhen, preparing to leave.
“Okay, contact me on WeChat if you need anything~”
“By the way, little brother Jiang, are you live streaming tonight?”
“I’ll bring some good sisters to give you gifts and support you.”
“Seeing such a handsome brother with a great physique and temperament, they are really willing to spend money.”
Qiu Lizhen said, smiling as she looked at Jiang Tao, finding him even more handsome and charismatic in person than on his live stream.
Yes, Qiu Lizhen felt that Jiang Tao had a certain aura!
This aura couldn’t be seen or felt through the screen.
“Hahaha, thank you for your kind intentions, Sister. I appreciate it, but I’m usually quite busy and rarely live stream.”
“The frequency of live streams won’t be too high, and there’s no pattern. My main profession isn’t being a streamer.”
Jiang Tao laughed heartily and expressed his thanks to Qiu Lizhen.
If anyone else had Jiang Tao’s luck, they would definitely strike while the iron was hot, wanting to live stream 24 hours a day and earn a fortune in gifts.
But Jiang Tao wasn’t particularly interested in the gifts received on live streams.
Live streaming for a day and receiving one or two hundred thousand yuan really held no attraction for him.
“Little brother Jiang is truly noble.”
“Anyone else with your opportunity would broadcast relentlessly, earning enough for a lifetime in one go.”
Qiu Lizhen also gave Jiang Tao a thumbs-up and praised him.
In her heart, she felt she hadn’t misjudged him.
To disregard money like dirt, not be driven by profit, and not be greedy for money.
This was the kind of good brother worth following and liking.
Of course, the main reason was that he was handsome and had a good physique, fitting Qiu Lizhen’s aesthetic.
If Jiang Tao looked like Xiao Agiao, Qiu Lizhen wouldn’t have bothered with him.
“Hahaha, I’m simply lazy, too lazy to broadcast.”
Jiang Tao let out a hearty laugh. Seeing someone enter the shop, he waved to Qiu Lizhen again:
“Sister, you’re busy. I’m leaving now. Let’s keep in touch.”
“Bye, little brother Jiang. Go safely.”
Qiu Lizhen also waved goodbye to Jiang Tao with a smile, escorting him all the way to the room door.
Watching his back disappear into the crowd, she then returned inside to continue her work.
*Click!*
After getting into the car, Jiang Tao closed the car door casually.
The sound of the Mercedes-Benz G-wagon’s door closing, like a bullet being chambered, immediately attracted the attention of many passersby.
Although Mercedes-Benz G-wagons were not uncommon in the capital city, they were still out of reach for ordinary people.
Even workers with a monthly salary of ten or twenty thousand yuan wouldn’t dare to dream of buying a luxury car like the Mercedes-Benz G-wagon.
“This is it!”
Jiang Tao took out the last dozen or so scratch cards that Qiu Lizhen had given him and indeed found the one shimmering with a dark golden light.
Of course, in the eyes of Qiu Lizhen and Jia Guilin, this special scratch card was nothing special, identical to the others.
In front of Old Jia, Jiang Tao didn’t rush to scratch the coating on that scratch card.
Besides, after getting scratch cards from someone’s shop, you immediately went to the Welfare Lottery Center to redeem a grand prize.
What would Qiu Lizhen think?
Jiang Tao planned to wait for ten days to half a month before scratching the scratch card that could yield a million-dollar prize.
With a flick of his wrist, he put the winning lottery ticket into his system space as if performing magic.
“Old Jia, let’s drive to ICBC Bank this time.”
Having obtained the million-dollar prize scratch card mentioned in the intelligence, Jiang Tao felt relieved.
He looked at Jia Guilin in front of him and instructed him.
“Okay, Boss.”
Jia Guilin asked no questions and directly started the car, driving towards the Longze branch.
After being delayed by buying scratch cards, Jiang Tao arrived at the Longze ICBC branch a little after 10 AM.
“Brother-in-law! You’re here!”
When Fang Qi saw Jiang Tao this time, she was infinitely more enthusiastic than before, and her smile was even brighter.
And…
Perhaps it was because she had received the intelligence about Zhang Chao and Fang Qi.
Jiang Tao felt that Fang Qi looked more feminine today.
“I was delayed by some matters, so I’m a bit late.”
Jiang Tao smiled and nodded at Fang Qi. They had agreed to meet in the morning during dinner last night.
As for the specific matter, Jiang Tao hadn’t told Fang Qi, leaving a little suspense, and a small surprise for her.
“It’s not late at all, Brother-in-law. You’ve arrived just in time.”
“After we finish talking, I’ll treat you to coffee and tea snacks at the cafe across from our bank.”
“Zhang Chao also mentioned inviting you and my sister to lunch today, so we can have lunch together then.”
Fang Qi said with a smile, looking at Jiang Tao. It was evident that she was in a great mood today.
As for why she was in such a good mood.
It was also quite obvious.
She and Zhang Chao had progressed so quickly; they must have taken a liking to each other.
Perhaps it was love at first sight?
Although the probability of such a thing happening is very small, it’s not impossible.
Fang Qi and Zhang Chao’s compatibility score reached 98 points; they were a match made in heaven.
Moreover, they had even slept together last night and had a deep connection.
The speed of their progress was incredibly fast.
“Haha, okay, then your sister and I will have to feast on Zhang Chao today.”
“Did you two chat again yesterday? How did it go?”
Jiang Tao asked casually as he walked with Fang Qi towards the VIP business office.
“Cough cough cough, it was very good. We get along very well and are very compatible.”
Fang Qi blushed shyly as she thought about her wild actions with Zhang Chao last night.
However…
She did not regret her choice.
“It’s good that you get along. Zhang Chao is also a nice young man. You two should continue dating; your sister and I are waiting for your wedding candy.”
Jiang Tao feigned ignorance, not revealing their relationship.
“Yes, Zhang Chao is indeed a good person.”
Fang Qi smiled shyly; she was also very satisfied with Zhang Chao.
Zhang Chao was like the chosen one for her.
She couldn’t find anything she disliked about Zhang Chao.
He was above average in appearance, his height and build were standard, his family was wealthy, and his personality was one she liked.
Even when they were making love last night, Zhang Chao would proactively do certain things for her.
Although they had not known each other for more than a day since they met.
Fang Qi and Zhang Chao had already fallen deeply in love with each other.
They had exchanged over 300 messages on WeChat this morning alone.
They talked about everything, leaving nothing unsaid.
Both felt they had found their soulmate and kindred spirit.
“Brother-in-law, please come in. What would you like to drink? Tea or coffee? We also have fruit juice.”
Fang Qi was also grateful to this “matchmaker brother-in-law” for introducing her to Zhang Chao, and her attitude towards him was extremely warm.
“I’ll have some coffee, with sugar. I can’t handle bitterness.”
Jiang Tao didn’t stand on ceremony with Fang Qi, saying with a smile, and then casually sat down on the leather sofa in the VIP reception room.
With his current physique, he didn’t need to worry about sugar intake affecting his health.
He could eat and drink whatever he wanted, without any restrictions.
Fang Qi took a high-end disposable coffee cup from the cabinet and quickly brewed a cup of coffee for Jiang Tao, placing it in front of him.
She poured herself a glass of plain water, tidied the hem of her skirt, and sat opposite Jiang Tao.
“Brother-in-law, can you tell me what surprise you have for me now?”
Fang Qi looked at Jiang Tao with a smile. After the gathering yesterday, she felt that the distance between her and Jiang Tao had also narrowed significantly.
Therefore, she felt a special sense of closeness when talking to Jiang Tao.
“I have some spare money and want to buy some wealth management products.”
“A friend analyzed a product your bank launched, and I think it’s quite good.”
“It’s the one with code 20HH68322456.”
On his way over, Jiang Tao retrieved the intelligence from before and glanced at it again, remembering the code.
“The wealth management product Brother-in-law is referring to is a relatively aggressive product, and it covers…”
Fang Qi had clearly done her homework.
As soon as she heard Jiang Tao was interested in purchasing the product, she professionally analyzed its advantages and risks for him.
She wouldn’t have explained so much to other customers.
Who would turn away business that came to their door? Naturally, they would try to sell as much as possible to the customer so they could earn more commission.
As for the risks…
The risks were the customer’s, what did they have to do with her?
But Jiang Tao was clearly different from other customers in Fang Qi’s eyes at this moment.
They were not only relatives but now also had the connection through Zhang Chao.
Fang Qi began to side with Jiang Tao and consider his interests.
“As expected, professionals like you know the most. I’ve decided, I’ll buy it.”
After listening to Fang Qi’s analysis, Jiang Tao chuckled heartily and made his final decision.
The information that the wealth management product with code 20HH68322456 would experience strong growth in the next three months came from the Daily Intelligence System.
Jiang Tao had been bound to the system for so long, and the intelligence had never been wrong, so this time was no exception.
A wealth management product certified by System Brother, just buy it without hesitation!
“Then, Brother-in-law, how much business are you going to contribute to me?”
Fang Qi looked at Jiang Tao with a smile, asking him playfully.
“This much.”
Jiang Tao smiled and held up two fingers.
“200,000? Brother-in-law has quite a bit of private money.”
Fang Qi covered her mouth and smiled, satisfied with this result.
In today’s era where most people are burdened by mortgages, car loans, renovation loans, or consumption loans.
A family that can afford to invest 200,000 yuan in wealth management is considered quite good.
“It’s less than that. Try guessing bolder.”
Jiang Tao couldn’t help but laugh and cry at Fang Qi’s guess.
Her answer was too far off from the correct one!
“Ah? Brother-in-law, are you going to tell me you want to buy 2 million!”
Fang Qi’s large eyes widened instantly, and her face showed surprise.
If Jiang Tao bought 2 million yuan worth of wealth management products from her at once,
she would pass her departmental assessment and become a regular employee that month!
