Senior sister, please stop crying. I am really not a scumbag.

Chapter 80: Gamblers Don’t Have a Good Ending
This week, QQ Confession Wall has started to get on track. With the support of various advertisements, its traffic flow is terrifying. This is the benefit of having resources. If Yang Hao were alone, he would not be able to develop it even if he tried his best. For the Express Supermarket, Yang Hao can be a hands-off manager. Now his focus should be on forest.
Forest Bar is the first industry that Ninth Brother gave to Yang Hao. Yang Hao has a clear mind that as long as he can manage Forest Bar well, there will be no shortage of opportunities to shine in the future.
So, on Friday, Yang Hao used the confession wall to make the first advertisement for Foerst.
This is what the advertisement says.
On November 11th, 15th and 16th, which is Friday and the weekend, any female student from Xinzhou University of Finance and Economics can go to Forest Bar with their student ID to get a free bottle of beer and a fruit plate. Each person is limited to one time.
At the same time, it was also tactfully stated that this bar was run by Yang Hao. After all, Yang Hao was a well-known figure in the University of Finance and Economics.
This post containing the advertisement was viewed 24 times and liked by 5300 people in 467 hours, indicating that the first wave of publicity was achieved.
At the same time, similar advertisements were also placed in the School of Communication.
But at the vocational college, the advertisement is that during these three days, any student who goes to the Forest Bar to spend money will receive a can of beer and a fruit plate for free for girls, and a 85% discount for boys.
As a result, the news that Yang Hao opened a bar in Nanmen Bridge spread throughout the class, and many girls in the class planned to go and see it.
After all, it's a free bottle of beer.
This beer was bought from Brother Jiu's warehouse, and the price was based on the lowest wholesale price. Anyway, it's all Yaozi Society's property. If Yang Hao's bar makes money, he still has to give 3% to Yaozi Society. It's a profit anyway.
Moreover, this beer is in cans, 1ml a can, 250 bottles in a can, which is not worth much in itself.
Besides, after drinking, you can't just leave without finishing your drink, right? There will definitely be customers who will order more.
For example, Zhao Juan asked several of her roommates to go to Forest Bar to play together. Of course, there were more than just a few girls. Those who had boyfriends also brought their boyfriends. Wang Mali followed them happily.
Zhang Ting and Zhao Juan were in the same dormitory, and Zhang Ting kept pestering Li Xing to go play with her.
Liao Junlin was shocked when he learned that Yang Hao opened a bar.
As for Wang Qiang, he was also very surprised. However, ever since this kid taught Yang Jin how to play PC, Yang Jin didn't know whether it was because of the novice protection period or because of his good luck, but he was winning money all the time, which made Wang Qiang very envious.
Yang Jin had just started playing PC and was not addicted to it. After seeing that he had won more than 1000 yuan in two days, he didn't want to play anymore and decided to quit while he was ahead.
Wang Qiang became anxious and thought, if you quit while you are ahead, how can I make a profit from the tea fee?
The two started arguing, and other people in the class saw it and came over to try to mediate.
Liao Junlin's heart moved when he heard that Yang Jin, a novice, won more than a thousand in two days. For some reason, he felt tempted.
Then the damn Liao Junlin couldn't sleep at night, thinking about how he was short of money recently. During the day, he saw the software that Yang Jin was playing, which seemed to be called "28 Circles". He thought about it in his mind, opened Baidu search, searched for a long time, and finally downloaded one. He registered with half belief and half doubt.
After successful registration, there will be 38 bonus in your account, which is a gift.
Liao Junlin first observed the game, understood the rules of the game, and then started placing bets.
He played it very cautiously.
Before he knew it, he became addicted, and he increased his 38 yuan to more than 300 yuan. However, due to an impulse, he lost it all.
"Grass!"
Liao Junlin felt annoyed and thought that if he had known earlier, he would not have been so impulsive. At the same time, it also proved that it was easy to win money if you were lucky. He thought that as long as he had enough self-control and knew when to stop when he won, wouldn't that be great?
If it were any other day, today, Friday, at 11 o'clock, he would have already checked into a room with Yan Zhenzhen. However, because he had little money and had to calculate and save money for his living expenses, he was particularly eager to make money.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and recharged 100.
……
At this time, the forest bar is very lively.
Whether it was the booths in the hall or the small private rooms, they were all packed with people, with light music playing under the pale green lights.
Yang Hao's first wave of advertising effect, because of the free beer offer and his fame, attracted many customers, although most of them were freeloaders.
But what can I say? As for drinking, everyone who has ever drunk knows that once you are drunk, you can't just brag when you are out of alcohol, right? You have to roll the dice, right? How can you continue playing without alcohol? Wouldn't that be a bummer?
For example, there is a table of girls from the School of Communication in the hall, about 4 girls, and two boys from the vocational college. They come to consume and are given 4 cans of beer, but 4 cans, only 24 cans, not enough to drink, just play a game and it will be finished, then what to do? You can only buy, you have already drunk, played, you have to have fun, you can't spoil the fun.
So, I can only buy it.
At this time, Xiaolong will launch the preferential policies of his store.
For example, if you buy directly, a can of beer is about 24 yuan, which is 6 cans; if it is bottled, a box of 12 bottles is 68 yuan; or pineapple beer, cocktails, etc.
At the same time, there is a welfare policy. If you are a student of a finance university, vocational college or media college, you can apply for a membership card.
Deposit 648 yuan to apply for an annual card. Within this year, all drinks here will be 85% off. At the same time, the deposited 648 can be spent at any time.
As we all know, the alcohol industry is a highly profitable one, and the alcohol in bars is inherently more expensive than outside. Plus, the alcohol in Forest Bar is all sourced from Brother Jiu’s warehouse, which has a lower cost, so a 85% discount is no different from no discount at all.
When Yang Hao came here, the Forest Bar was bustling with activity and business was booming. Of course, this might be a flash in the pan, after all, it had been supported by advertisements in the past few days. Whether it could maintain its business depended on subsequent operations.
Xiaolong and Xiaowu were having a lot of fun.
"Brother Hao."
"Well, you guys are busy." Yang Hao greeted them and saw a few familiar faces sitting at a table in the hall. They were Li Xing and others.
"Haozi, here." Li Xing saw Yang Hao and waved hurriedly.
Yang Hao walked straight over.
As soon as I sat down, I found that Song Qinwei was also there.
Yes, this table is full of Zhao Juan’s roommates, as well as the girls from the dormitory next door, and a few boys, such as Wang Mali.
Zhao Juan said with a smile: "Brother Hao, you have to blow a bottle. We are here to take care of your business, and you are still here so late. If you don't blow a bottle, I will look down on you."
Several little girls were also chattering and asking Yang Hao to blow a bottle.
Yang Hao smiled and picked up the beer and blew a bottle.
They were rolling dice. Nowadays, young people are no longer interested in playing finger-guessing games. Whether in bars or KTVs, most people are rolling dice. I'm afraid that the finger-guessing game culture is coming to an end among young people. Yang Hao sat down and played a few rounds with them.
Song Qinwei had obviously just learned how to roll the dice. She always lost, and when she lost she had to drink a glass. Every time she finished drinking, she would cough as if she had choked, and then her face would turn slightly red.
Zhao Juan, this girl, was talking about something else. She said meaningfully, "Brother Hao, this is your home court today. If Qin Wei drinks too much tonight, I'll have to trouble you to take care of her."
Yang Hao: “…”
He couldn't help but think of that ridiculous night.
Damn it, I can’t make the same mistake again this time.
"No, if you can't drink, don't drink. You shake and I'll drink." Yang Hao knew that Song Qinwei couldn't drink much. If she drank too much again today, what if something happened again?
Li Xing laughed loudly: "Haozi, you said it, I'm going to jump up and shoot her later, and let you drink to death here tonight."
Yang Hao: “…”
You bastard Li Xing, I have paid so much to help you pursue Lin Xiaoxiao, and you are messing with me at this time.
But he knew Li Xing was joking.
However, after a few rounds, Yang Hao's face turned green.
It was obviously the first time for Song Qinwei to play dice, and she was kicked every time.
Yang Hao was furious. "No, why are you shouting nonsense? He shouted 8 sixes, you shouted 6 sixes, you shouted 4 directly, why are you so scared? What the hell is this?"
Although Yang Hao told Song Qinwei to shake and he would drink if she lost, he couldn't stand Song Qinwei's mischief.
There was a hint of grievance on Song Qinwei's cold face, and she just stared at Yang Hao without saying anything.
"No, admit defeat. Drink, Haozi." Li Xing chuckled.
Helpless, Yang Hao had to drink it all in one gulp.
Knowing that Song Qinwei really didn't know how to play, Yang Hao had to patiently teach her how to shout.
When it comes to rolling dice, the most important things are momentum and courage.
Just like playing poker.
Even if you don’t have any 5s, you have to make the other person think that you have a lot of 5s. Even if you have a lot of 5s, you have to make people think that you don’t have any 5s.
Song Qinwei rolled the dice silently and then opened a corner.
【2、2、5、6、4】
At the dinner table, whether it is playing finger-guessing games or rolling dice, the most beautiful words of love are: You can play however you want, and if you lose, I will drink for you.
So, Zhao Juan’s boyfriend Wang Mali just watched and if Zhao Juan lost, he would drink.
The same goes for another girl's boyfriend.
As for Li Xing, the bastard insisted on playing. Zhang Ting didn't know how to play. She just sat next to him and watched with a smile on her face, looking very happy.
Zhao Juan observed everyone's expressions and said, "6 threes"
Yang Hao said: "Just shout 8 threes."
Song Qin was a little confused and pouted, but still shouted: "8 threes."
The other girls hesitated for a moment, and then one girl shouted, "Eight fives."
"9 5."
Li Xing said leisurely, "Ten threes." Zhao Juan glanced at Yang Hao and saw that he was confident. She gritted her teeth and said, "Eleven threes."
Yang Hao raised his lips and directly opened the dice, "Open."
At first glance, Yang Hao didn't have 3.
There were only 7 3s in the whole game.
Zhao Juan was numb: “???”
Then he said angrily: "Fuck, Brother Hao, you are so sinister, why are you yelling if you don't have any 3?"
Li Xing laughed out loud, "Rolling the dice is all about courage, so why don't you let me win?"
Song Qinwei next to him seemed to be thinking about something and understood a little bit of the essence.
Then, Yang Hao sat next to her and gave her guidance for a while. He had to give guidance. If he really let a rookie like Song Qinwei play by herself the whole time, wouldn't Yang Hao be drunk?
At this time, someone suggested that Yang Hao go up and play a song to liven up the atmosphere.
Forest is a bar. There is a huge screen in the hall where you can scan the QR code to order songs. There are also music equipment, and occasionally a few folk singers are invited to sing.
"Brother Hao, the atmosphere has become so lively, you can't spoil the fun."
"Yes, Brother Hao."
Li Xing gloated: "My god, what are you looking at me for?"
Yang Hao: “…”
Yang Hao called Xiaolong and asked him to get a guitar and adjust the equipment. Xiaolong nodded quickly, and soon, Xiaolong really found an electric guitar.
This guitar had obviously been gathering dust in the warehouse for some time. The six strings were a little loose and needed to be recalibrated and retuned. Yang Hao fiddled with it for a while.
At this time, Xiaolong took the microphone and said under the electronic screen: "In order to thank everyone for coming to Forest Bar to spend money, our boss specially came to play a song in person..."
Then he said a lot of rambling things, just to liven up the atmosphere.
While Xiaolong was speaking, Xiaowu was busy. He first brought a loudspeaker, a microphone, and a bench.
At this time, Yang Hao came on stage with his guitar. He first took Xiaolong's microphone and said a few simple words. After all, such a rash performance might disturb some guests' interest. In addition, he also took this opportunity to thank future customers.
Not far from the hall, in a small booth, two girls were stunned.
It’s Qin Wenwen and Chen Xiaoman.
These two girls heard that there was an event at Forest Bar where girls could get a free bottle of beer, so they came over happily, saying they wanted to join in the fun.
Qin Wenwen was stunned. She picked up the glass of beer in her hand, put it down again, and when it reached her mouth, she was reluctant to drink it.
In contrast, Chen Xiaoman's expression was even more complicated. Why did Yang Hao not say a word... He became the owner of this bar? She didn't know how much this bar cost, but she thought that with more than 200 square meters and in the Nanmenqiao business district, the annual rent should be about yuan, right?
At this moment, Chen Xiaoman suddenly had an urge. She really wanted to find Yang Hao and ask him what he had experienced since he came to Xinzhou.
To be honest, Chen Xiaoman was fed up with Yang Hao, this follower. It happened on the train. She remembered that time she yelled at Yang Hao, and Yang Hao suddenly became confused and as if he had lost his soul. He lay on the table as if he was about to cry. But when Yang Hao woke up, he was like a different person. He treated him extremely strangely and was very indifferent to him.
At that time, Chen Xiaoman actually felt a little secretly happy in her heart, thinking that she had finally gotten rid of Yang Hao, the clingy ghost, and she could finally enjoy her college life freely.
But later, as I saw Yang Hao again and again, I found that he had changed a lot.
At this moment, seeing Yang Hao on the stage like a dazzling star, she felt so lost.
While she was daydreaming, a beautiful prelude sounded.
Yang Hao wanted to keep a low profile, so he played a random song, gave a few speeches, then waved his hand to add a bottle of beer to each table before returning to his seat.
"Hey, little brother Haozi, when can you play a song for your sister alone?" At this time, several girls dressed up beautifully came to the door of Forest Bar, and Tang Miaomiao was among them.
"Sister Miao, please sit here." Yang Hao waved and greeted her.
Tang Miaomiao waved her hands and said half-jokingly, "No, you guys play, I'll ask Xiaolong to open a new stage for us. I can ignore anyone's business, but how can I not take care of my dear brother Haozi's business?"
……
After an initial round of advertising, Forest Bar's business was temporarily booming for a few days, but it was not sustainable. After all, how much money could a student have?
This is what a bar is like. Its positioning is awkward, but it is much better than its previous gloomy appearance.
Another week passed like this.
On this day, Yang Hao suddenly had the urge to check out the traffic generation results of the past two weeks and the actual profit of Forest Bar. When he went to check the account book, Xiaolong was hesitant to speak.
"Brother Hao..."
Yang Hao's heart moved. Xiaolong's expression was not right. Could it be that there was something wrong with the account? Thinking of this, Yang Hao said solemnly: "Tell me, what happened?"
Over the past month, Yang Hao, who had been in a key position for a long time, had developed a certain aura. When his tone became cold, Xiaolong no longer dared to hide anything and told him the whole story.
He said that it was almost December and he had checked the accounts and the funds in the Forest Bar account. He found that a sum of money had been moved away by Xiao Wu. The amount was not large, but definitely not small, a total of more than 12 yuan.
"Where did you move to?"
Xiaolong hesitated, "I think Xiaowu used it to pay off his gambling debts, or to gamble... Xiaowu has always had the habit of playing cards, and he plays cards every few days."
Yang Hao narrowed his eyes. This matter was not a big deal, but it was not a small one either. It was embezzlement of public funds. If it was not handled properly, Yang Hao would lose his prestige in the Forest Bar. If he couldn't even control Xiao Wu and Xiao Long, would Brother Nine dare to entrust him with important tasks in the future?
"Where's Xiao Wu?"
Xiaolong stammered and spoke vaguely, and couldn't explain anything clearly.
Yang Hao's tone turned cold, "I'll ask you again, where is Xiao Wu?"
Xiaolong looked at Yang Hao and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Okay, take the ten thousand dollars and get out. I'll find someone to look after the forest myself." Yang Hao waved his hand.
Hearing this, Xiaolong became anxious: "Brother Hao, please don't, I'm from the Kites Club, and I've been with Brother Jiu since I graduated from high school."
Yang Hao said indifferently: "Then do you want me to tell Brother Jiu?"
Xiaolong was silent.
"OK."
Seeing that Xiaolong didn't say anything, Yang Hao took out his cell phone and called Brother Jiu. He asked what to do about the money in the Forest Bar's account that was moved without his consent.
It was very noisy on the other end of Brother Jiu's phone. They must be drinking, and the sound of finger-guessing games could be heard one after another.
"Haozi, the management rights of that business are yours. It's up to you how you want to deal with it. As long as no one gets killed, I'll cover it for you."
"Row."
Xiaolong looked at Yang Hao with a complicated expression while he was talking on the phone.
In fact, he knew about Xiao Wu's embezzlement of public funds. After all, how could he hide the fact that more than 30,000 yuan in the account disappeared? In fact, Xiao Long was very upset that Yang Hao took over the bar. He also wanted to test this student. I embezzled money, what can you do? But he obviously underestimated Yang Hao's means.
Yang Hao was naturally aware of this, so he hung up the phone and looked at Xiaolong: "I only give you two choices, listen carefully. Either you find Xiaowu and ask him to make up the money, I only give you one night; or you and Xiaowu pack up and leave together, and the 30,000 yuan will be deducted from your salary."
Xiaolong had a complicated expression.
Then, Yang Hao personally controlled the liquidity and account books of Forest Bar.
Xiao Wu took the money and went to the horse farm to play, and Yang Hao was too lazy to chase him.
Yang Hao knew that Xiao Wu was a gambler. When he first came to Forest Bar, Xiao Wu was not there. Xiao Long said that Xiao Wu had played cards all night and was catching up on sleep. At that time, Yang Hao knew that Xiao Wu was not a fool.
To put it bluntly, this matter is just dirty business. If it were according to Brother Jiu's rules, at least one finger would be chopped off.
Brother Nine asked Yang Hao to handle it because he also wanted to see how Yang Hao would solve the problem.
But Yang Hao couldn't go to the horse farm in person and ask Xiao Wu for the 30,000 yuan, right? It wasn't a good place. If he didn't handle it well, the people at the horse farm might think he was causing trouble and even use knives to attack him, which would be more trouble than it would be.
In fact, Yang Hao could call Wang Zhipeng and ask him to call some people to go to the horse farm together. That way there would be more people and it would at least be safer.
But again, it’s not necessary.
Yang Hao wants to do business in an honest way, but Brother Jiu's people are not honest people.
When Li Xing returned to the dormitory, he also heard about this. He was so angry that he cursed: "Damn it, I say that gamblers should not be reused! If he can't pay tomorrow, just let him go, and we will find someone to work for Forest ourselves."
Wang Qiang, who was watching a video on the bed with great interest, was inexplicably caught in the crossfire. Upon hearing this, he looked at Li Xing with resentment and said nothing.
Speaking of the word "gambler", Wang Qiang suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "By the way, Brother Xing, Haozi, I heard that Liao Junlin has also been playing PC these days, and it seems that he has won a lot."
Li Xing sneered: "Fight, fight, sooner or later you will lose and die."
Wang Qiang was speechless.
Hearing that Liao Junlin had also started playing PC, Yang Hao remained noncommittal. As for gambling, people who play it say that they are not addicted and they just play it out of boredom. At the beginning, they always feel that they are playing small and it doesn't matter if they lose, but little do they know that it is this mentality that is the most fatal.
No gambler has a good ending.
"Wang Qiang, I advise you to stop the loss in time. Don't think about those broken PCs. Now you haven't lost much, and you may even make a small profit. If you continue to indulge in it, you will be ruined sooner or later." Li Xing said.
"Yes, yes, I got it, Brother Xing." Wang Qiang agreed verbally but disagreed in his heart. If he had the money now, he would be confident that he could make a comeback.
What a joke.
I lost a few thousand dollars, and just let it go?
Wait until I invite a few more people and earn some gift money. Then I will hit the target with one shot and soar into the sky, shocking you all. Wouldn’t that be great?
