() The wine is half full and the atmosphere is thick.
"Niu Er, what have you been busy with recently?" Shu Zhiyang put down his wine glass and turned to Niu Er, who was at the next table behind him, and asked.
"What are you busy with? Hehe, you are busy looking at the house." Niu Er chuckled.
Gu Jianying, who was sitting at the same table as Shu Zhiyang, interrupted with a smile: "Niu Er, have you settled the matter with the daughter of the Lu family? Are you busy buying a new house?"
At the mention of this incident, everyone at the two tables inevitably paid attention. Recently, it was rumored that Brother Niu was having an affair with the daughter of Minister Lu of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It would be best if it could be confirmed from the person involved.
Brother Niu chuckled and generously confirmed that it had been decided. He inevitably accepted congratulations from everyone and was punished with a few drinks.
Putting down the wine glass, Brother Niu couldn't help but sigh again, and shouted: "I know how troublesome it is to get married. Not to mention the trouble, it also costs money. As for this new house, the area in Nanhuan is an ordinary house.
They all cost more than 8,000 yuan. If you want to buy a decent one, it will cost tens of thousands per square meter. If you buy a house and decorate it, our work this year will be in vain..."...
Brother Niu Er was shaking his head as he spoke, but the others were cursing, "How much money can you earn from small appliances like Niu Er in a year? How much money do you think you can make from your small appliances? You follow Brother Gao Er and you still cry about poverty. Why don't you let everyone do it?"
Are you still alive?
There are also those who are clamoring against it. If you are a rich man like Brother Niu, can you buy an ordinary small commercial house? At least it needs a big villa. How can you live in one without more than 1,000 square meters? The key depends on the decoration, no.
It would be too shameful to spend on renovations that are several times more expensive than the house price. After all, this house really costs over 100 million!
There was flattery, there was jealousy, anyway, there was a quarrel.
Fortunately, there are still friends who sincerely care about them. Shu Zhiyang patted Brother Niu Er on the shoulder and said: "Niu Er, if you want to buy a house, hurry up. I see the momentum. House prices will rise sharply before the end of the year. I may not be able to find a house by then."
The house costs half as much."
"No, no, haven't you seen that the authorities are working hard to stabilize housing prices? The rising trend has stabilized recently, and there are still price reductions in Beicheng. Just like this, I think it won't be long before the entire housing prices have to be stabilized.
Maybe it will have to be reduced significantly." Gu Jianying shouted with different opinions.
As a result, the conversation among the two or three tables nearby turned to the current housing prices. Some agreed with Mr. Shu's prediction, while others agreed with Mr. Gu's vision. The noise became more and more lively.
Seeing Gu Jianying and Shu Zhiyang quarreling red-faced, no one could convince the other. The Xie family's relative, the famous Lengtou Qing Liujiang, Young Master Liu, got angry. He slapped his hand on the table and shouted: "It's a shame to make such a noise.
, you two should just gamble!"
Shu Zhiyang immediately glared and said, "Just bet, who is afraid of whom?"
Gu Jianying changed his attitude, smiled calmly, and said: "I won't bet with you. What's the point of betting on this matter? It's boring..."
"Hey..." someone shouted.
"Lao Gu, you are so loud, are you afraid of gambling?" someone said excitedly.
"That's right. I'm not asking you to bet on your wife, so what are you afraid of!"
As soon as they heard that they were going to bet, everyone at the seven or eight tables in the room got excited and started making noises for fear that the bet would go wrong. After a few words, Brother Gu's face became a little uneasy, as if he was afraid of Shu Zhiyang if he didn't want to bet.
It seemed that Brother Gu couldn't sit still over there. He was already suffocating after hearing this. He slapped his hand on the table and shouted: "Brother, just give him a bet. If he loses, it will be ours!
"
It was lively now, everyone was cheering, tidying up, and kept shouting about the high betting numbers. Mr. Shu and Mr. Gu, who were drunk, had a shouting match and placed a bet of 100,000, but everyone still couldn't
I'm satisfied that Mr. Gu is a two-brother brother, and Mr. Shu is also a rich man who makes a lot of money. You said that it will take several months for you to bet on this one, so you can't just bet on this one hundred thousand?
Mr. Gu is just crying about poverty. Guys, money is really tight recently. If everyone is not satisfied, then everyone will end up together.
With a lot of laughter and excitement, a big gambling game started.
This bet is also simple, that is, it only depends on whether housing prices will rise or not rise before the end of the year, based on the Lunar New Year. The current housing prices in Beijing are more than 8,300 yuan. Mr. Shu is generous and has settled on 8,000 yuan.
Five hundred yuan shall prevail. If it is higher than this number, Mr. Shu will win. If it is lower than 8,500 yuan, Mr. Gu will win.
Of course, this gambling game must have a public house. Brother Niu took on this important task unceremoniously. Anyone who finds a match can come over. We are responsible for being fair. Once the gambling game starts, we will collect the money on the spot. If you don’t have money, write a note.
That's right, they are all in the circle, and no one will default on their debts.
But I didn't expect that in a moment, more than 20 bets were received, ranging from one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand to as many as five hundred thousand and one million. Don't look at everyone sitting together drinking at this moment. On weekdays, there are many bets.
There are quite a few people who don't like each other. Just now, they were arguing about the rise and fall of house prices. Now they are talking about betting, so naturally they can't talk about the previous one.
In fact, not all of the fifty or sixty people are idiots. There are quite a few people who know the inside story of the commotion in the capital during this period.
For example, Mr. Chang San, Ouyang Laoer and others sitting at the No. 1 table, as well as several young men involved in this real estate speculation operation, are fully aware of these situations. They saw the yelling and screaming over there.
He was yelling about the housing price issue and even betting on it. Naturally, he sat still with a look of disdain on his face.
As the host, Second Brother Gao, of course, would not let the banquet go cold. He held the wine glass and laughed, saying: "Brother Ouyang, Third Brother Chang, what, are you interested in playing?"
"What fun is this? There's no point in winning a bet that you know the outcome of." Ouyang Laoer said with a disdainful curl of his lips.
By the way, Brother Ouyang was tired of sitting there for a long time. He originally planned to come here just to catch the scene and leave in the middle, but he didn’t want to come here and start a gambling game, so he also attracted the younger brother who came with us, and no one gave us any advice.
Pushing a wheelchair.
"Oh. Second brother Ouyang already knows the result? Is it going to rise or fall?" Second brother Gao said in surprise.
"Of course it has to go up, even less!" Ouyang Lao Er glanced at Brother Gao Er with a bored expression. You are really good at pretending. Your Gao family is blocking this price increase, don't you know?
How much money has been gathered in the capital now? With such a huge amount, even the measures and means that your Gao family has been tossing around cannot stop it. Let alone wait until the end of the year, even until New Year's Day. The house prices will definitely rise.
.
"Haha, since Brother Ouyang is so sure, why not make a bet and have some fun? If you earn a little or two, you can buy a good car." Brother Gao laughed and glanced at Brother Ouyang's wheelchair intentionally or unintentionally.
.
"I would like to bet on it, but I'm afraid no one would dare to take it!" Ouyang Laoer said angrily.
"Well, how much does Second Brother want to bet? Let's ask first. Everyone here today has a lot of money. With Second Brother's worth... haha, no matter how much it is, there are probably people who can afford it." Second Brother Gao said with a smile.
.
Ouyang Laoer was stimulated and didn't want to come at first, but when he received the invitation, his family asked him to come to save face no matter what. Who knew he was coming? This mortal enemy was indeed a mortal enemy, and he immediately started to prick him
Are you trying to get yourself up? Brother Ouyang was so angry that he wanted to lift his legs and leave. The problem was that he couldn't lift his legs and feet. He stretched out his fingers bitterly, wishing to poke Gao Qiang twice!
"Well, Second Brother Ouyang is really generous. Do you need to bet 100 million on this move?" Second Brother Gao exclaimed at the finger pointed at him by Ouyang Second Brother, and then simply stood up again and jumped on the stool.
, shouted loudly, "Quiet, quiet, everyone, listen, Brother Ouyang wants to bet on a huge rise in housing prices. He bets 100 million. Is anyone going to take it?"
This voice shouted, and everyone who was noisy and about to place a bet fell silent. One hundred million? Although everyone here was of status and worth, a bet of one hundred million was really scary for everyone.
The numbers are astronomical! Naturally, no one is willing to come forward and respond.
Ouyang Laoer, who originally heard Gao Qiang calling for a 100 million bet, was also frightened. It's not that we have no confidence that we will win money, but the point is that we don't have that 100 million at all. At this moment, everyone in the hall was watched.
I was shocked, no one dared to respond, and then I felt relieved again, how proud I am of this?
"No one answered?" Brother Gao Er asked the whole audience again and again, but still no one answered. He couldn't help but smacked his lips and said, "Tsk, it's so boring when someone makes a bet with no one to accompany them. Come on, I accepted the bet! Niu Er
A huge gamble of 100 million, what is the concept?
Such a large bet is not common in the circle of young men in the capital. The last time a bet exceeded 100 million, Chang San and Ouyang Laoer were betting on dogs. The second brother Gao won more than 200 million from the Ge family. But that time in the second year of high school
I tried my best to win big. The final result was astonishing, but it was not exciting at the beginning.
It’s different this time. This is a real bet. One hundred million per person must be paid out for real. Once the game starts, there will be a lot of excitement, and no one can rely on it.
Not to mention that the second brother immediately shouted and pulled out the money on the spot. As soon as he took out the checkbook, a huge check was written out, which made everyone excited.
On the other hand, the second brother Ouyang is quite different. He was enjoying his long face. However, Gao Qiang suddenly agreed to the bet. His face turned dark as soon as he brushed it, and then turned green, red, and white again.
, the change was endless, and I saw Niu Er receiving Gao Qiang’s check. He turned to look at us, and his heart was even more entangled.
Gao Qiang accepted the bet. Brother Ouyang's little confidence that house prices would rise was shaken. Who was opposed to the price increase? That was the Gao family! Gao Qiang dared to bet that house prices would not rise. Did he have any news? The Gao family also
What tricks didn't you use? Otherwise, even if you knew you were going to lose, this high school sophomore wouldn't have thrown 100 million into the pit?
Think about it, he opened his mouth and shouted a 100 million bet, obviously he dug a hole for us!
But Ouyang Lao Er can't say it now. There are so many first-class young men in the capital watching. If we regret it now, then we won't hang out in this circle in the future.
, not only are our people in disgrace, but the entire Ouyang family can no longer raise their heads, especially since Mr. Ouyang is now seriously ill and in a coma. The Ouyang family really cannot afford to lose face like this.
Ouyang Laoer gritted his teeth, but finally managed to choke out a few words: "I didn't bring that much when I went out, so I made a note first!"
The effect of writing a note or directly writing a check is far from satisfactory, but at least it’s good that the person didn’t default on the bill. After all, who can be like the second brother in high school who can drag out the door with unlimited checks and throw out hundreds of millions at will?
At any rate, the bet was finally over. The huge bet of one hundred million against one hundred million really excited everyone. Some of those who had placed bets just now felt that their handwriting was too shabby, so they simply asked their opponents to make another big bet, and
Those who had not placed bets could not sit still, their minds were spinning rapidly, and they began to think about questions.
The first is Brother Chang. This wise man’s eyes are wandering around. Brother Chang knows the inside story of this housing price war very clearly. After some analysis, he came to the same result as Brother Ouyang.
The Gao family's method of stabilizing housing prices seemed to have worked some time ago, but during this period, housing prices have only risen slightly. After all, more than 100 billion in capital is not a small amount, and it cannot be completely suppressed by just a few administrative measures.
Yes, it is obvious that the Gao family's methods can only have a temporary effect. Over time, the housing prices will still rise sharply.
But seeing Brother Gao's determined attitude at this moment, Brother Chang also doubted whether the Gao family had some back-up tactics they hadn't used yet. Thinking about this 100 million gamble, it was so easy to get the money without even using it.
If you put it out immediately and make a small note, you can win a lot of money during the Chinese New Year. Brother Chang San couldn't help but get excited and shouted to those who haven't placed bets yet: "Everyone, don't be idle, come and play."
, I bet house prices will not rise, and I can eat as much as I want!”
Those who didn't place bets were not stupid. Seeing the high-stakes gambling attitude of the second brother, they naturally analyzed that there was something wrong. Many people also changed their minds. This bet was also a bet that the house price would not rise.
But it is indispensable to have a sharp eye. He glanced at the second brother Gao who was dizzy from drinking and spoke with a loud voice. Then he took a look at the checkbook that the second brother Gao had just thrown on the table after tearing up a check worth 100 million yuan.
, I can’t help but wonder, my second-year senior brother is very wealthy. One hundred million is nothing to him, but he is probably drunk and causing trouble?
So, is it necessary to say whether housing prices are rising or falling? More than 100 billion yuan of capital is stirring up the market, and when these administrative measures are gaining momentum, housing prices are still only rising but not falling. Isn’t that enough to explain the problem?
It's hard to say that even those guys who just looked at him with disdain had their thoughts turned on, and they had different thoughts. Now there was a gambling opponent. In addition, Mr. Chang was raising his voice to collect the bets, and the whole hall was noisy again for a while.
More fun.
After a while, no one was spared. More or less all the fifty or sixty people present placed their bets, which was equivalent to bringing in half the number of high-ranking princes and princes in the capital. In the end, Brother Niu made a rough calculation.
, except for the 100 million bet between Gao Er Ge and Ouyang Lao Er, the sum of other large and small bets almost exceeded 100 million!
Regarding this result, Brother Gao was naturally filled with joy and smiled as if his plan had succeeded...
