Chapter 771

Especially eldest son is going to college soon, which is another huge expense.

Seeing the bill in the mailbox, old John wanted to die, but all this changed after a phone call. Heaven and Earth turning upside down.

That day, old John was walking on the streets of Xiao Su in the cold wind, with two big hamburgers in his arms, which he bought after queuing for two hours at the McDonald’s fast food restaurant. food specials.

Suddenly, I heard a rush of phone ringing in the cold wind. I turned my head and saw that the ringing was coming from a phone booth on the side of the road.

Old John was in a hurry to go back and give the big hamburger that was still warm to his wife. He was not in the mood to pay attention to it. The bell sounded farther and farther away, and was gradually covered up by the sound of the wind. Old John’s nervous mood became slightly calmer.

Two months ago, his finances were already in dire straits. Everyday all would not get a lot of phone calls. Those from the North American tax department were fine and threatened to send him to prison. But wouldn’t it be even less money to go to prison, so Old John wasn’t worried at all that they would do that.

But those loan sharks aren’t so good at talking, they’ll threaten to chop off Old John’s fingers on the phone, and that really makes old John’s heart palpitate, because those guys have always been brutal, saying Not sure it will actually do that.

So now Old John has formed a conditioned reflex, and when he hears the phone ringing, his heart will be stunned.

Alas, I don’t want to do this anymore, I’d better hurry up and go home, the burgers are not good when they are cold, and Chris’s stomach is not good either.

Old John picked up his scattered thoughts and walked faster towards the house, but when he walked to another street, “di di di di di di!” The phone rang again in his ear.

Old John turned his head and saw that the payphone on the street, tortured by the bad boys, was making a rapid chirping sound.

Is this thing still working?

As soon as the thought came out of my head, it was replaced by fear, where do I go, where does the phone ring?

Is it a prank?

Old John’s heart jumped, and he continued to walk quickly. He was no longer in the mood to joke with those bad boys. But he didn’t take two steps, and the phone not far away also beeped “di di di di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di!”

So what’s going on here?

According to Old John’s character, he should ignore the ringing of the phone at this time and go home directly, but at the moment he is at a low point in his life and urgently needs something to bring about a turnaround.

So Old John made Ghost Messenger go to the phone booth and picked up the phone whose handle was almost broken in two.

The phone was quickly connected, and a woman’s cold voice came from inside. This sound is like the cold wind in the winter, making people feel a shiver after listening to it.

“John Crist, nicknamed Old John, is forty years old, lives in Thirteenth Street, No. 20192, used to be a newspaper office worker, earns $500 a month, half a month ago He was fired because he accidentally caught the editor-in-chief and the female reporter chatting in the office. He has three children and currently owes a total of 23,505 yuan in debt. If you can’t make up the money by the end of this month , the house will definitely be confiscated by the bank, you will also be blacklisted, and maybe you will go bankrupt.”

The cold woman didn’t wait for Old John to speak, and she said a long sentence mechanically. . This sentence completely shocked Old John, because the information in it was his personal information, and even the debt was calculated clearly.

But

“No, I only owe $23,000 in debt, you are wrong!” Old John is an honest man, and he is clear about his debts Chu.

“Uh” The other party was silent for a while, then said indifferently: “That’s right, that five hundred and five yuan debt is the interest accrued at the end of this month.”

this time Old John Completely silent, because according to the debt he calculated before, it was exactly what the woman said.

The woman continued: “I also know that you are carrying two hamburgers in your arms, bought from the hamburger shop on Fifth Avenue, using coupons you found on the roadside, a total of It cost two and a half dollars.”

“You, you, how do you know everything!”

Old John raised his head in shock and looked around, “You are Not hiding there staring at me!”

“I, everywhere!” The woman’s words were full of doubts.

This kind of undoubtedness made Old John, who had been suspicious in his heart, have an indescribable mood at this time. As if this woman is the god of this world, her bright eyes are enough to see everything on the world.

But why would such a great character find himself? ?

Old John is a smart man, and he realized the problem as soon as he rolled his eyes. He lowered his mind and asked, “Dear lady, what do you need me to do for you?”

>

Perhaps Old John’s composure was beyond the woman’s expectations. She froze for a moment, then said with a smile: “It’s not what you can do for me, but I can help you change the current predicament.”

Old John held the microphone and didn’t speak, he wanted to know the woman’s plan.

Sure enough, the woman continued: “According to my calculations, according to your ability and luck, the probability of being able to collect 23,505 yuan by the end of the month is infinitely close to zero, that is, In 1 month later, your house will be confiscated by the bank, you will be beaten to death by a loan shark company, and you will be on the street, and your wife will divorce you with three children, and you will be plunged into an endless abyss. “

The scene described by the woman made Old John shudder, and he retorted, opened his mouth, but made no sound, because he knew that the woman’s words were not wrong at all.

After being silent for a long time, old John’s thin voice swayed and squeezed out a voice: “Then can you help me and change all this?”

“Yes, but also wrong, I’m not helping you, you’re helping yourself. As long as you do what I say, not only will you be able to pay off your debts by the end of the month, you’ll get a big bonus and live a prosperous life, I know, you’ve already I want to send the eldest son to an Ivy League university, there is no money in it, but absolutely not, and your youngest son seems to have Innate heart disease, and the public hospital queue is far away, waiting for him, maybe he has a heart attack He’s already killed, and it’s almost impossible for a private hospital to treat this disease without millions of dollars.”

“Do something for you? Are you making me commit a crime. That’s absolutely Impossible!” Old John refused the woman’s request without any reason, because although he was poor, he still had a bottom line, otherwise he would not have been expelled for breaking the leader’s adultery.

“Criminal? He he he he, you are wrong, I am not a savior, why do I do this, I am only offering you a formal and legal job, and you are relying on your own Ability and labor earn rewards.” There was no emotion in the woman’s words, as if she was born a cold-blooded animal.

Legal work?

Old John was overjoyed, he didn’t know why women were omnipotent and omniscient, and he didn’t know why women liked him, but as long as he didn’t break the law, he could do anything.

“What job, where do I work, do I need pre-job training, does the company provide lunch, and is there commuting subsidies, er, of course, no lunch and subsidies are available.” Old John asked quickly , for a man to support a family, what a job means, it goes without saying.

Seemed to be shocked by the enthusiasm of old John, the woman was silent for a while and then said: “I’d better introduce myself first, my name is a secret, but you can call me a wise man, omnipotent The wise man.”

The wise man? Or the wise man of omnipotent?

Old John was just surprised and didn’t refute it, because for him, the most important issue now is to find a job and repay those debts quickly. As for the woman’s name, it doesn’t matter at all. After all, for employees, as long as the Boss pays wages on time, as for the Boss’ name, it doesn’t matter at all.

But he can’t be impatient now, he can only ask with a smile: “Okay, wise lady, what do you want old John to do for you?”

“I want to set up a print shop, and I need you to be the print shop supervisor, responsible for the daily operations and personnel recruitment in the shop.”

“Print shop? I am the supervisor? But I was just an ordinary person before. A little clerk, you can’t run a shop!”

Even when he was about to fall into the abyss of ten thousand zhang, the kind old John was still afraid that because of his own inability, other people’s business would be lost.

But his worries were completely dispelled by a word from a wise man, and replaced by endless doubts.

Only heard Ms. Wise say, “This print shop is not for profit, so don’t worry.”

Not for profit?

Although old John is not a business elite, he also knows that whenever he invests in starting a company, it is to make money, and no one ever wastes his money, even if there are many rich people who do charity work for the purpose of Avoid taxes, or consider the future of your children.

It’s not for profit, isn’t that a fool?

Old John now understood that the woman on the phone must be thinking of him as a fool. This was really unbearable, so old John said to the phone: “I’m sorry, Madam wise, although I am a poor man, or the kind that is about to go bankrupt, but I also have my own dignity, your behavior Seriously hurt my self-esteem, considering that you may only be a little girl, I will forgive you this time, but we have nothing to talk about, goodbye!”

Old John is about to hang up I dropped the phone, but the wise man just laughed and said, “Your attitude completely shows that I’m not looking for the wrong person, so let’s take a look at your phone.”

Look at your phone?

Old John held the microphone in one hand, took the phone out of his pocket with the other, lit up the broken screen, and a text message popped out.

The text message is from the bank, but it is not a common dunning call, but a transfer receipt message.

“Dear Mr. John, you have deposited 20 million US dollars in your bank account. Please check it in time.” The building began to shake.

This amount of money is something he has never seen in his life, no, he should not even dare to think about it.

The wise woman may be joking, but the $20 million is literally in front of him, lying in his bank account.

With this money, not only can I pay off all my debts, but I can also buy a small villa by the sea, play with my children by the sea every day, and fall asleep listening to the sound of the surging waves at night .

The future is bright.

Old John took several deep breaths in a row before he suppressed the excitement in his heart. He quickly asked: “This is 20 million US dollars, just put it in my account, you are not afraid I ran away with the money?”

After all, according to the rules of the bank, the money after the transfer belongs to the owner of the account. The wise man’s approach may be a dead loss.

“hmph!” A wise man’s sneer came from the receiver of the phone, and then a sinister voice: “You can give it a try, but I can tell you for sure that you are not my first There are three people in front of the invited people. They all secretly had bad thoughts and wanted to hack my money, but now they are all lying on the seabed.”

Old John heard this remark, I couldn’t help shivering.

Yes, a person who can transfer 20 million US dollars at will, how can he be a fool, since she dares to do so, she must be fearless.

Unconsciously, the old John made the mysterious wise man the leader of a crime syndicate from South America.

In TV dramas, you can often see such a plot. In order to turn the money obtained from crime into legal money, the leader of a criminal group sends people to open laundry companies in various places, which is called money laundering. .

The wise man must have wanted me to help her launder money!

Old John has no psychological burden on money laundering. He does not think it is a crime, because as a civilian, he has been exploited by the North American tax department. It is unacceptable that at least 60% of monthly salary should be deducted as tax.

“Okay, I agree to help you build a print shop, but where is the print shop? When do I start working?”

According to normal thinking, even if the Boss is careless, No matter how easy it is, you should also choose the address of the store.

So, old John didn’t think his question was funny. But there was a gloomy laughter coming from the receiver again.

“jie jie jie jie! This is your job!”

“My job, the location of the print shop, shouldn’t you do it yourself?”

p>

“No, I entrusted it to you, I am only responsible for providing funds, not only site selection, but also personnel recruitment, store registration, and store design and other issues, all completed by you, the Chief Manager.”

“It’s against the rules, these things should be your job, Boss.”

“I’ll add money, in addition to your monthly salary of $500,000, I will pay more An additional $200,000 bonus for you.”
