Chapter 56: Pull-tab scam
Ning Yiyao wore a white patterned plaid shirt, with her long hair hanging down to her waist. She didn't put any makeup on her face, but she looked very delicate.
She is more mature and attractive than a year ago, just like a blooming peony.
The delicacy and simplicity in the movements of her hands are fascinating to watch.
"What are you looking at? Do you still like the teacher?" Ning Yiyao looked at Lin Bufan with a smile and said.
Lin Bufan smiled awkwardly, turned his head slightly and said, "Teacher, you don't know, after so many years, sometimes I still dream about you."
"So many years? If I remember correctly, we haven't seen each other for more than a year, right? What? Are you deliberately playing deep with the teacher? The teacher doesn't like this, you are just a little brat in the eyes of the teacher." Ning Yiyao
joked.
Lin Bufan gave a bitter smile and thought to himself: Teacher, how did you know? Now I have a new life.
In his last life, Lin Bufan would occasionally dream of Ning Yiyao.
In that youthful age, Lin Bufan once confessed to Ning Yiyao. When Lin Bufan was in his 30s, he felt happy when he recalled that past event.
Looking back on the confession at that time, it was more of a kind of admiration.
Although Ning Yiyao was only an intern teacher, her teaching skills were very good. At that time, Lin Bufan's reading comprehension of ancient Chinese was very poor. Ning Yiyao explained the ancient Chinese in vernacular and quoted from classics to explain each obscure ancient Chinese text.
It's lively and interesting.
After his sophomore year in high school, Lin Bufan's Chinese proficiency skyrocketed.
When Lin Bufan opened the training class, he told the students: The most important task of a teacher is to develop students' interest in the course. If they are interested, they will learn by themselves even without the supervision of the teacher.
"Teacher, why do you want to teach? Do you want to be gold-plated?" Lin Bufan asked.
In order to make their resumes look better, some students who graduated from normal schools will go to mountainous areas to teach for a year and then return to the city. Having teaching experience in that era will provide a lot of policy support, which will be helpful for future professional title evaluations and promotions.
"Gilding? Do you think the teacher is such a hypocritical person?" Ning Yiyao smiled. Looking at the scenery passing by the car window, her eyes showed sincerity, "You know, there are still many children who cannot afford to go to school.
In backward places, there are only a dozen students in a school, and one teacher can teach mathematics, Chinese, and history. Children in the northwest have a harder time. There are no benches in class and no books to study. Do you still remember what the teacher once said? I do
Teachers want to bring knowledge to students, which is the responsibility of the title teacher."
Ning Yiyao decided to support teaching after watching a Chinese TV station reporting on the conditions of schools in mountainous areas. She is a very kind girl with a simple idea, just to help children and bring knowledge to them so that children in mountainous areas can
Change lives.
Knowledge is power, and reading well can change your life.
In that era, there were many teachers like Ning Yiyao.
But with the continuous development of the economy, teachers like Ning Yiyao are called fools for doing this.
"Teacher, you are still so kind." Lin Bufan sincerely admired Ning Yiyao.
"What about you, why are you going to Jiulong Village?" Ning Yiyao asked.
Lin Bufan thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to sketch. I want to get into the Academy of Fine Arts."
"Sure, it's good to develop your career in the arts." Ning Yiyao's eyes brightened, "I thought you would choose liberal arts."
Lin Bufan shrugged and smiled embarrassedly.
You can’t say that going to Kowloon Village is a treasure hunt.
At this time, a man in a black vest in the row in front shouted: "I won the prize."
The man in a vest is holding a bottle of Jianlibao in his hand.
"Ah, no, there is a first prize written on this pull ring. If I remember correctly, the first prize is 100,000 yuan. Brother, you are rich." A middle-aged fat man sitting next to a black jacket
said.
"100,000? Oh my god, so much money?"
"Well. If you take this easy-pull ring and exchange it at Jianlibao headquarters, you can get 100,000 yuan." A little crew chief sitting on the other side of the black jacket added.
"We still need to go to the headquarters. Where is the headquarters?"
"The headquarters is in Liaoshan."
"Liaoshan is more than 3,000 kilometers away from my hometown." Black Jacket shouted.
"If you have money, are you still worried about the long journey?"
"Well, to be honest, my wife is very ill. This time I rushed back from Guangyang to see my wife. I have no time to redeem the prize. By the time I redeem the prize, my wife may not be alive anymore."
The black jacket had a troubled and painful expression.
"Brother, your wife must be sick and need money, right?" Xiao Pingtou asked.
"Well, of course we need money."
"Brother, look, you need money, but you don't have time to redeem the prize. Why don't you sell me this pull ring?" Xiao Pingtou looked like he was looking for a bargain, "I have 20,000 yuan here.
Are you willing to sell it?"
The little crew chief took out two stacks of money from his bag and showed them in front of the man in the jacket.
The man in the jacket's eyes brightened, hesitating...
At this time, the fat man spoke, "You're so embarrassed for 20,000, big brother. I'll give you 30,000. How about you sell me the pull tab?"
"Hey, fat man, do you know what first come, first served is? I bought it first, what did you mix in?" Xiao Pingtou stood up angrily and said.
"You want to get a bargain, and I also want to get a bargain. The one with the highest price gets it. What's wrong with that?" The fat man refused to be outdone.
"Stop arguing." The man in the jacket shouted, "Anyone here is willing to pay more. I will sell this easy-pull ring to the highest bidder."
Seeing this scene, Lin Bufan smiled inwardly.
This bad street pull-tab scam is very popular in this era, so what else is there to lose your wallet scam?
I never expected to see this scene on the train today.
The terminal station of this train is Qinzhou. There are 10 stations in between. We should reach the next station in 10 minutes.
The black jacket, the fat guy, and the crew cut all belong to the same group.
The acting skills of the three people are really good.
"I wish I had money..." Ning Yiyao showed a longing look.
"Teacher Ning, do you also want to buy this easy-pull ring?"
"Yeah, it's such a big bargain. It's a pity that I don't have that much money. If I had money, I would also like to buy this easy-pull ring. After redeeming the prize, I can buy school supplies for the children and an electronic keyboard. Let's
There are no music classes in school yet." Ning Yiyao said quietly.
Lin Bufan smiled bitterly. "Teacher Ning, this is a scam."
"Scam? How is that possible?"
"How is it impossible? Scammers take advantage of people's tendency to take advantage of small things. Those three people are in the same group."
"Why are you so sure?" Ning Yiyao asked.
In Lin Bufan's first life, this kind of scam will be on the streets in the future. This kind of scam will be constantly published in newspapers and news. In the future, there will be scams, virtual currency scams, and health care products.
Scams, there are endless scams.
"Just call and ask and we'll find out." Lin Bufan said with a smile.
At that time, the Internet was not developed and information was not smooth, but it was still possible to check the authenticity.
Just call 114 directly, ask for the phone number of Jianlibao Company, and then you will know.
In addition, Lin Bufan said: "If there is really a lottery-winning event, Jianlibao Company's publicity should be in newspapers and TV, but have you seen this kind of publicity?"
At that time, advertising mainly relied on newspapers and radio stations. There was also the King of Hearts model, which involved painting big-character posters, painting walls, and writing advertising slogans on big-character posters and walls. This model was very popular in the 1990s.
"I have 40,000 yuan here. Please sell me the pull tab." A man with glasses wearing a thin brown suit took out the money and wanted to buy the pull tab. The man with glasses was fooled.
"I have 50,000 here."
"I'll pay 55,000."
There were really many people who were greedy for cheap in those days.
When Lin Bufan took out his mobile phone, Ning Yiyao's eyes lit up, "You actually have a mobile phone?"
"I... belong to my father." Lin Bufan was a student. At that time, it was a big deal for students to have a BB player. If he took out his mobile phone, it would be really shocking.
Lin Bufan dialed 114.
114 is the main telephone number for inquiries.
After asking for the phone number of Jianlibao Company, Lin Bufan gave the phone to Ning Yiyao: "Mr. Ning, please ask."
Soon a voice came from the other end: "Hello, this is the telephone consultation department of Liaoshan Jianlibao Company. What can I do for you?"
Ning Yiyao asked, "Does your company have any activities to win prizes with easy-to-tap rings?"
"Hello, madam, our company has never carried out such activities. Recently, we have received many similar calls. Please do not be fooled. If there is any situation, report it to the local police station immediately."
After hanging up the phone, Ning Yiyao looked at that liar with resentment in her eyes...
At this time, a middle-aged man with simple clothes and messy hair who looked like he was working at a construction site walked up to the man in the jacket. He tightly protected the canvas bag on his chest with both hands.
