Chapter 65 63. On the right track

Without the little crab, I might still be stuck in the quagmire of gambling and cannot extricate myself. It is she who gave me the courage to say goodbye to the past and start a new life.I have to thank God, I have always been insensitive to feelings, and I should have missed some girls who were interested in me, but God didn't let me miss her again. Speaking of our contacts, it goes back a long way.Before I met her, I had a formal social identity. If I didn't have this identity, I might not be able to catch up with her. Around 1999, I often went to catch a game in a big hotel.There are a lot of people there, and there are all kinds of people.At that time, I was not as greedy as before, and basically stopped every time I made tens of thousands.Tens of thousands was a drizzle in that game. There was a boy engaged in engineering supervision who lost more than 2 million in one night without blinking his eyes.I played it smart, and they didn't doubt me.

They play betting, it's very messy, there are all kinds of cheating methods, potion detection, passing secret codes to each other, and other methods to catch winners.I went to decipher their codes first, although their codes change every day, but I can basically decipher them, after I deciphered them, I would occasionally bet a few times, and I would stop after winning 30,000 to 40,000 to 40,000.There I met Xiao Xing, who was 3 years younger than me, and now we are best buddies, but at that time he was just a kid in the eyes of others. I can see him almost every time I go, and he loses money every time. I heard from others that he probably loses more than 400,000 yuan.He is an oceangoing sailor. He came back to take the seafarer promotion exam, and was dragged here by his friends. He went here earlier than me. As a result, he quickly lost all his savings and borrowed a lot of foreign debts.I could hear him humbly begging for a few days on the phone every day.

At the beginning, I didn't have much impression of Xiao Xing. In my mind, he was just a winner, just like the ones I had caught before. After seeing such a winner too much, he became numb. That day I played for a while and wanted to leave. When I walked out of the room and passed the lobby, I saw Xiao Xing sitting on the sofa in the lobby, with a girl next to him scolding him, very excited.The girl's appearance reminded me of Xiao He suddenly, her expression was the same as Xiao He scolded me.Xiao Xing lowered his head and said nothing, the girl seemed to be about to cry. I walked over to them and sat down on the sofa opposite them.I heard that girl admonishing Xiao Xing. It was nothing more than "I lost everything, how will I live in the future", "I borrowed so much money, how can I repay the debt" and the like.I listened silently, if I cooperate with him to make a thousand dollars, they can win back their capital, and I can also use Xiao Xing to win some money.He is an old man in this game, and no one doubts him when he bets big, which is much better than me picking a little bit.

Having made my decision, I moved a little closer to them.Xiao Xing looked up and saw me, and nodded his head as a greeting.I asked him, "How much did you lose?" Xiao Xing glanced at me, his eyes were bloodshot.He gave me a blank look and was very dissatisfied with my disturbing them.I ignored her and asked Xiao Xing, "Do you want to win?" The words had an immediate effect, and he looked straight at me.I said, "If you want to win, come with me. It's not convenient to talk here." Then I stood up, Xiao Xing also stood up and wanted to go with me, but was dragged back to the sofa by his partner, not wanting him to go .

I took a ride and said to his partner: "You don't need to trust me. But I can pay you to win back the money. There is no need for me to lie to you. Now that you have lost everything, what can I lie to you? Believe me and come with me, it's just noon, I invite you two to eat and chat slowly." After some more words, they left the hotel with me. The three of us found a restaurant and asked for a private room. After introducing each other, we realized that they were a young couple who had just registered and hadn't held their wedding yet.The girl's name is Lingzi. She was very wary of me and asked me: "Why should we trust you?" This reminded me of the scene when I met Dawei back then, exactly the same!

They originally planned to hold a wedding when Xiao Xing came back to take the promotion exam, but they didn't expect him to lose it all at once.Like other losers, his idea is that as long as he gets his money back, he will stop playing. I told them the bureau was dirty and a lot of people were messing around.Then I explained to them in detail what all the tricks were in it. Lingzi was going to ask those people for money. She was very excited and said she would call the police if she didn't give it.I managed to persuade her, and said to her: "If no one will give it to you, if you say that people are dirty, they will ask you where the dirt is? Do you have a handle? How do you answer? Even if you call the police, Xiao What should Xing do? The money will never come back, and even if it is recovered, it will be confiscated as gambling money and will not reach your pocket.” Xiao Xing asked me: “Why did you help us?”

I said: "Actually, it's not considered a help. I just ask you to go up and help me win some money. We both benefit from each other." Xiao Xing said that he had no money.I said that I can provide him with the gambling capital.Then I told him some tricks they used to play tricks in gambling, and I asked him to go up and perform well.I was in charge of deciphering the codes of the gang, and then giving him hints.I made an agreement with him that if there is no ghost in the dealership or if I haven't deciphered it, I will not bet money.I also let him learn to act, don't always win, this is what Xiao Xing does very well.

Within a week of our cooperation, he got all his money back, and I also won a lot.After more than half a month, those troublemakers disappeared.Xiao Xing withdrew from the bureau and concentrated on getting married. The young couple thanked me again and again, much to my embarrassment.Because at the time I was just trying to use him to make money.But they don't think so. If they want me to be the officiant on the wedding day, they can't refuse no matter what.In this way we became friends, and Xiao Xing never gambled again since then. In 2001, Xiao Xing stopped going to sea. He wanted to start a small company, mainly to help some ships handle customs declaration procedures and provide services for the crew.When he proposed this idea to me, I supported him very much. Although I didn't know anything about those businesses, in order to show my support for him, I also contributed 150,000 yuan to buy shares.

At that time, it was the trust between friends, and there was no contract signed.Later, the company grew, and he insisted on making a complete shareholding agreement with me.Thanks to Xiao Xing's efforts, this small company has been running well. He reserved a desk for me and printed a business card for me with the title: Manager.The night Xiao Xing gave me a few boxes of business cards, I went home and looked through them for a long time. In this way, I have a formal social identity. Although I don’t know any business and never go to the company to work hard, I like to take out business cards to send out my business cards when I meet friends.

In 2001, I bought a house and solved the problem of household registration. I became a city resident; I went to take a driver's license test, bought a second-hand car that was probably new, and drove it all day long, pretending to be a diamond king look like. At that time, I basically didn’t have any games to play. I just watched the games for my friends to prevent others from cheating. Occasionally, my friends introduced me to help catch scammers in out-of-town casinos, so I basically stopped participating in gambling.But the income is also a lot, not less than spending a thousand dollars to catch the winner.
