[Chapter 43, Financial Crisis 3-Agreement]

The homestay where Xiaolou and Yu Hanjiang stayed is called "Shanshui B&B". This is an exquisite small building, two-story high. There are 6 rooms on the first floor in addition to the lobby and 8 rooms on the second floor. The two were arranged to Room 207.

When I entered the door by swiping the card, Xiao Lou walked around the house - the room was about 40 square meters, although it was small, it was fully equipped with an independent bathroom, bathroom, and a kitchenette of about 4 square meters. It was equipped with a range hood and a freezer to cook by yourself.

B&Bs in remote small cities that are not at peak tourist seasons are placed in the real world, and 100 yuan a night is considered cheap.

Both beds are single beds of one meter and two meters. The beds are a little small but very clean.

There is a window to the north that can be pushed out. Yu Hanjiang walked to the window and opened it to look out. It was opposite a pedestrian street from downstairs, with many snack bars and clothing stores. During working hours and the weather is hot, there are not many pedestrians on the street.

Yu Hanjiang Chao Xiaolou said: "Although this homestay is cheap, it is opposite the pedestrian street. It is likely to be robbed after the outbreak of the financial crisis. Fortunately, I have a gun, and if it is a simple robbery, I can handle it."

Xiao Lou nodded and said, "We need to store supplies, let's discuss making a list and buy it later."

There is a piece of paper with the words "Opinion Book" written on the bedside table and a pencil is placed.

Xiao Lou took it over and quickly wrote down some essential supplies on it.

You must prepare more mineral water to prevent water cuts in the city. Milk and chocolate are foods that supplement protein and calories faster. Compressed biscuits can make people feel more full. Canned fruits can be supplemented with vitamins when supplies are scarce. Vacuum-packed braised eggs, meat, canned fish, etc. are not easy to expire, so you can stock up more.

Xiaolou often buys groceries and cooks, and knows the types and prices of foods well. He quickly made a comprehensive and nutritious stockpiling list. Of course, although he doesn’t like instant noodles, it is better because the price is cheap, so he can buy two boxes of them directly for later use.

After he finished writing what he had eaten, Yu Hanjiang added lighters, candles, flashlights, travel backpacks, knives, medical bandages, travel sleeping bags and other necessary supplies, so as to facilitate the bag to evacuate at any time. Xiaolou also added several medicines, such as commonly used antipyretics, diarrhea drugs, antibiotics, etc., to prevent getting sick within seven days and having no money to go to the hospital.

While checking the list, the two carefully thought about what other missing.

Xiaolou's experience in home travel and Yu Hanjiang's outdoor camping experience, the items on the list became more and more complete. The two simply used these seven days as a journey to a deserted island where birds do not shit.

These foods are not expensive, the key is whether you will think of them.

Xiao Lou said: "The price will definitely rise after the financial crisis tomorrow, so the money we have is the most valuable now. I think it's better to exchange 80% of the gold coins for goods? The rest depends on the situation and spare it."

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Yes, store more things, we can sell them later if we can't finish eating."

When money becomes worthless, a bottle of 200 gold coins of mineral water may soar several times. If the material reserves are well planned, they may make a small profit in the secret room of the financial crisis.

It was soon five o'clock in the afternoon.

Xiao Lou put the sorted list into his pocket and walked with Yu Hanjiang to the city center to find Shao Qingge.

Many units have already got off work, and there are more and more vehicles and pedestrians on the street. The two of them did not take a taxi and simply walked over and arrived at the securities building in the city center in half an hour.

At half past five, the stock market was about to close. Many people in the trading hall were looking up at the stock curve with eager eyes. Some were showing joy and some were full of anxiety. The hearts of investors were following the stock curve, as if they were riding a roller coaster.

Xiao Lou saw Shao Qingge in the crowd at a glance. The man narrowed his eyes and stared at the computer screen. His slender fingers quickly typing on the keyboard, making a crisp "da" sound.

When Shao Qingge saw Xiao Lou, he nodded and greeted him. When Xiao Lou walked behind, he said softly: "The stock market began to fluctuate abnormally at 5:30. I suspect it is a precursor to tomorrow's financial crisis. There is still half an hour left to close, so the position must be cleared in advance."

He spoke while operating and soon sold out all his stocks.

Shao Qingge logged into the personal account center - the balance he held actually exceeded 420,000!

Xiao Lou was stunned for a moment, suspected that he was dazzled, rubbed his eyes and looked at it again, and said in disbelief: "Are these all the balance of your account? Doubled?"

Shao Qingge's 100,000 yuan plus Xiaolou's investment in 100,000 yuan was the initial capital of 200,000 yuan, but it doubled in just one afternoon. It can only be said that Mr. Shao is awesome, no wonder he was often interviewed by the Financial Channel.

Shao Qingge smiled slightly and said, "Today's rise is good. I quickly went in and out and bought a large number of stocks. I made thousands of transactions in the afternoon." He stood up from his seat and said, "Two, go and withdraw money and leave here as soon as possible."

The stock account and the bank account are connected and the transfer is very fast, and the trading center has a self-service ATM. After deducting taxes and handling fees and transfer fees, the final amount is 420,000 yuan.

There were several people waiting in front of the ATM, and it was soon Shao Qingge's turn. The gold coins in the card world had 1000, 5000 and 10000 denominations, and Shao Qingge directly took 42 gold coins with a denomination of 10000 denominations.

When someone around saw him withdrawing so much money, they looked sideways. One of the young men with messy hair stared at the gold coins in Shao Qingge's hand with his eyes. After Shao Qingge left, the young man pretended to walk over and bumped him inadvertently, then said "sorry", turned around and left in a hurry.

Before Shao Qingge could react, Yu Hanjiang chased after him and kicked the other party's popliteal fossa!

The other party was kicked so hard that he almost fell to his knees. Just as he was about to turn around and curse, Yu Hanjiang twisted his arms back with a clutch, pressed the other party's back with his knees, and said in a deep voice: "Take it out."

The young man was completely unable to move, his face turned pale: "Who the hell are you? What are you taking?"

Yu Hanjiang said coldly: "Steal my friend's money and take it out a lot of money. Don't let me say it for the third time."

Only then did Xiao Lou and Shao Qingge realize... they actually encountered a thief?

WeChat payment has been popular in the real world for many years, and it is really rare to see such a cash-grabbing thief.

Shao Qingge walked over and walked around the guy, leaned over and stared at his eyes, and patted his face with a smile: "I dare to steal money, I'm very brave. We're still busy, come back soon, don't bother with you."

The thief was in tears. He thought Shao Qingge was alone, but he didn't expect that he had two helpers around him.

Yu Hanjiang twisted his arm and exerted a little force. The young man immediately grinned in pain and said tremblingly: "Brother, it hurts, it hurts! You let me go first, otherwise why would I pay back the money..."

Yu Hanjiang winked at Xiao Lou. Xiao Lou understood and put his hand into the young man's pocket and took out 4 gold coins. He asked Shao Qingge: "Is the number correct?"

Shao Qingge counted and nodded at Xiaolou: "4 were indeed stolen."

"I just touched a few of them, really, no, didn't steal too much." The man behind him was so strong that his wrist was almost broken, and he grinned in pain, full of tears: "Brother, I stole this, I'll give you all..."

Yu Hanjiang frowned and asked, "Why do you steal money?"

The young man was depressed: "I lost a lot of money today. I saw that you made so much money. I became greedy for a while... I was wrong. I was wrong. I never dared to let me go. Please..."

Yu Hanjiang finally let him go: "Get out."

He usually deals with extremely evil murderers, and he can beat ten of these low-level thieves.

Yu Hanjiang turned around and said to the two of them: "This kid shouldn't be lying."

Xiao Lou thought to himself: "Will there be a bold challenger who, when he knew in advance that the financial crisis was about to break out tomorrow, hiding near the ATM and robbing the cash of the indigenous people of this world?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "It's possible."

In order to clear the clearance, it is also a way to directly grab cash near the ATM.

However, Yu Hanjiang is a policeman, Xiao Lou is a university professor, and Shao Qingge is the company boss, so he asked them to grab money... This fact cannot be done, and they all have their own principles and bottom lines.

Shao Qingge looked around and whispered: "There is no mobile payment in this world, no credit card, it is all cash payment. It is not safe to carry too much cash on your body. Let's find a place to have supper first and share the money by the way."

The three of them quickly left the securities building.

There happened to be a restaurant with a good environment nearby. The three of them ordered a small private room and ordered some home-cooked dishes.

Shao Qingge treated her to dinner. He placed the gold coins on the table and counted them. He distributed them to Xiaolou for 200,000, and said, "This is yours."

Xiao Lou was stunned and said, "Doesn't the profit of 100,000 yuan should be divided into 460 yuan? Give me 160,000 yuan."

Shao Qingge waved his hand readily and said, "I don't like to owe favors. If it weren't for Officer Yu, the money would have been stolen by a thief."

Looking at the golden coins in front of him, Xiao Lou did not refuse and accepted it with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Shao."

"You're welcome, after all, I have something to do and want to ask you two for help." Shao Qingge changed his tone and suddenly looked at Xiao Lou with a smile and asked, "Do you have any plans to upgrade the contract?"

"Of course. The primary contract can only bind two people, and five people can be bound after upgrading to intermediate level." Xiao Lou paused and added: "But, the C-level secret room does not allow two or more teams. If you want to upgrade, you probably have to wait to the B-level secret room."

Shao Qingge suggested: "I will pay for the money for upgrading the contract, and leave me a quota. How about it?"

Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang with inquiring eyes, who nodded simply, and Xiao Lou smiled and said, "No problem, we very much welcome Mr. Shao to join."

If there is someone in the team who is good at making money, at least you don’t have to worry about your financial situation in the future. What’s more, Shao Qingge is very good at playing cards and has an advantage in dealing with the plum blossom secret room. He is willing to take the initiative to join the team, of course it would be better.

Xiao Lou said curiously: "Why did Mr. Shao suddenly want to form a team with us?"

Shao Qingge said: "Business is about integrity. The more investment you invest, the higher the risk, but the higher the return will be. You believe in me, let me help you trade stocks, and I also believe in my own vision - join you, make sure to make a profit without losing money."

He regards joining the team as an investment, and the team of two record-breaking masters is definitely a potential stock.

Trust is mutual. Part of the reason why he dared to join the two men was that Xiao Lou directly gave him 100,000 yuan, allowing him to trade freely, and left the trading center with confidence to find a place to live, and did not regard him as a villain who could run away with money.

Besides, the real-world professions of university professors, police officers, and the two are also trustworthy.

Xiao Lou said gently: "Since we need to cooperate, why don't we plan the fourth level, the C-level secret room. Team Yu and I will go to Red Peach 4 first, Square Film 4, Mr. Shao will go to Plum Blossom 4 first, Square Film 4, and then meet in the Spade 4 secret room to continue to exchange information, so that we can help you quickly pass Red Peach 4, and we will also be convenient for you to pass Plum Blossom."

The order of secret rooms is staggered. First pass the level of what you are good at, and then exchange information with the secret room that Shao Qingge is good at, which can greatly reduce the difficulty of clearing. Shao Qingge also thought this proposal was very good, so he simply nodded and said, "Okay. After the fourth level, the level of B secret room will be from the fifth level. You can form a team of multiple people and upgrade the contract at that time."

The three of them quickly made a verbal agreement on their plans.

After a simple dinner, Shao Qingge asked: "Have you both found a place to live? What are the plans for the next one?"

Xiao Lou said: "We live in Shanshui B&B on Guangming Street, and we plan to go to the supermarket to stock up after dinner."

Shao Qingge said: "Then I'll find a place to stay first."

Xiao Lou asked in confusion: "Mr. Shao, do you have no teammates in Room 3 of Spades?"

Shao Qingge pressed his temple and said, "I met a teammate who couldn't play cards in Plum Blossom 3 before. He dragged me back and almost lost money. So when I entered Spade 3, I refused the suggestion of the guardian to match my teammates and planned to act alone."

Sometimes pig teammates tend to be bad, but Shao Qingge's idea is correct. You can form two people in the C-level secret room, but you don't force teaming. If you are confident that you can pass the level alone, you can do not have teammates at all.

"Then you go and get the residence first. Come to the supermarket to find us later." Xiao Lou said, "We have made a list of stocking up and will show you the time. Maybe it will be useful."

"Okay, see you at the supermarket at 8 o'clock."

The three of them separated at the entrance of the restaurant, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang turned around and came to the nearby central square.

[Chapter 43, Financial Crisis 4-Disguise]

The setting sun is set, the heat of summer has completely faded, and the oncoming breeze makes people feel refreshed.

After dinner, it was the most relaxing time of the day, and the residents of this small town also began to go out for a walk. Young couples held hands to go shopping in the mall, children played with skateboarding shoes in the square, and many elderly people were walking in the parks around the square with their pet dogs.

Xiaolou and Yu Hanjiang passed by the central square and saw a group of people surrounding them, not knowing what to do.

Soon, a clear voice came from the crowd surrounded: "Good evening, handsome guys, beautiful uncles, aunts, children! I came here to travel here. I spent all the money I brought with me. I could only earn some living expenses by selling art on the street. I sing a few songs for everyone. If I think my singing is pretty good, just give me some pocket money. Thank you everyone..."
