Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 253 Sports Lottery
"You don't have to pay for it yourself, you can raise funds!"

Gui Yuan lowered his head and pondered for a while, and soon he thought of a solution. He looked up and said proudly, "I remember watching TV some time ago and saw three Americans pooling their money to buy lottery tickets. Do you know how much money they won?"

"How much is it?" A-Zu asked.

"One hundred and sixty million dollars!" Gui Yuan's voice cracked as if he had won the prize himself. "Each of the three people can get more than fifty million."

Ah Zu also got excited when he heard this. "With this 50 million, I think your idea is very good. Collecting money to buy lottery tickets can also expand the number of winners. Why didn't I think of it?" He slapped himself in regret, but it was also this slap that made him sober up a little. "But if there are only two of us collecting money, what's the difference between buying it alone?"

"So you're stupid." Gui Yuan looked at A Zu with disdain and said, "It doesn't have to be the two of us who raise the money. We can mobilize your family to raise the money together. At most, if we win the prize, we can share the money."

"Yes, yes." A Zu was excited again, but he soon calmed down, "No, you don't know, my younger brother A Rui is very opposed to us buying lottery tickets. No one else will pool money with us when he is around. Even your sister and my second sister-in-law will not pool money with us, they listen to him very much."

Gui Yuan frowned, "Is your brother so weird? I heard from my sister before that your brother and my brother-in-law made a lot of money by buying sports lottery tickets? Why does he oppose you buying lottery tickets when he made money himself?"

When talking about this, A-Zu gets angry, his face turns black, "That's it. They make money and then they don't buy for us. Do you think it's excessive? They say that profit and loss are opposites, and the more you win, the more you may lose. They say we don't understand football and ask us not to buy. They say that buying blindly will result in losing everything."

"What? We don't understand basketball?" Gui Yuan was a little upset after hearing this, and he even stuttered. "As the saying goes, many hands make light work. We don't understand basketball? There are so many of us, and we can't figure it out even if we each study a little? I tell you, A-Zu, don't listen to him. Just mobilize everyone to buy together. He's making so much money, who really believes him? Can't we just buy secretly and not tell him?"

"Okay, Yuan, I will ask the whole family to buy it together tomorrow. I don't believe that everyone is not jealous of Rui for making so much money and will really listen to him and not buy it." Zu also made up his mind and would do as Gui Yuan said.

The next day, Kang Qirui had classes in the morning and went to work at around 7 o'clock. A Zu was very happy to see him go out early, and took the opportunity to tell everyone about his and Gui Yuan's thoughts last night while eating breakfast.

"Raising funds to buy lottery tickets? This thing is quite new." A Yao sighed after hearing this.

The boss Guang also laughed and said, "I have tried buying lottery tickets by myself, but I have never tried buying lottery tickets with others."

"Brother, is it true that our chances of winning are much greater if we buy lottery tickets together?" The second sister-in-law was more concerned about the probability of winning, after all, she was a vested interest in the lottery.

"Of course, you said you were doing big business, but you can't even count such a small number? You are so stupid." Gui Yuan looked at A Zu, and they both laughed. The second sister-in-law slapped Gui Yuan in the face, "You are such a loser."

"Hey, hey, hey, A Rui told you not to buy lottery tickets. If you don't understand, don't buy them blindly." Er Lao spoke up and reminded everyone in time. A Zu pushed Gui Yuan and asked him to sit back. A Zu looked over Gui Yuan and said sarcastically to Er Lao: "Er Lao, I find that you are talking about A Rui all the time. If you don't know, you would think he is your elder brother and you are his younger brother."

"What are you talking about?" Er Lao was so angry at what A Zu said that he stood up and slammed the table. A Zu was so scared that he pulled Gui Yuan to block him, and then he bravely argued: "Besides, put yourself in my shoes. If I made so much money by buying lottery tickets with A Rui, and you wanted to buy one but I didn't buy it for you, would you be willing to accept it? Would you be jealous and hate me?"

A'Zu's words really hit the human nature, so everyone in the Kang family fell silent after hearing his words, even the furious second brother lost his temper. He really couldn't answer A'Zu's question, he sighed and sat back in his seat, took another sip of water and then said: "When A Rui said to buy sports lottery, he also called you, but you all thought it was a waste of money and didn't buy it. Now you know you regret it. When I told you not to buy it, you didn't think it was a waste of money and you all insisted on buying it. Do you understand? Have you understood it?"

"It's because we don't understand that we have to raise funds, and that's why we have to study together. Are the combined brains of so many of us not as good as Arui's? We all come from the same intestine, I really don't believe it." A Zu once again emphasized the significance of fundraising.

"Guiyuan, A'zu, then according to your idea, how much do we need to buy in order to win?" Unconsciously, the old father also became interested. He and A'zu had similar ideas. A'rui was able to make so much money from sports lottery two years ago. He is his father, so why can't he do the same?

"Of course the more the better." Seeing that his father had an idea, Grandpa said excitedly: "I calculated that we can raise 300 yuan today. It's a good omen."

A Yao shook his head and said with a smile: "How can three words be a good omen? Why don't you say to raise 800 yuan, 888, 80 ...

A-Zu waved his hands, "Do you think we are stupid? We want to make money, not lose money. We also know how to control ourselves, okay? I tell you, as long as we have confidence, we can share the prize money. I am not afraid to tell you that today's games are all teams I am familiar with. I have watched their games for more than ten years, and I am absolutely confident. I have calculated that if all of our 300 yuan are successful, we can earn 20 million yuan."

"What? You robbed a bank? You made 20 million with 300 yuan?" A Yao and Da Lao Guang said in unison. They didn't believe what A Zu said. It's not like they haven't bought sports lottery before. How could the odds be so high?
"Bet on the score, that way the return is high. If you bet on win, draw or loss, the odds are definitely not high." A-Zu took out a sports newspaper, pointed to the schedule printed on it and said, "Look at this game, I think it will be an upset. The odds of betting on 0-2 are 25 times. And if you bet on 2-2 for a draw, the odds are 40 times. If you put these two games together, the odds are 1000 times. Add in the other games, it's impossible to win million with yuan."

Everyone was excited by what he said, not realizing that such a high odds of an upset score might not occur even once in a hundred games. They were all mesmerized by the fantasy described by A-Zu, and raised their hands one by one to say that they wanted to participate and contribute money to raise funds.

"Okay, okay, that's it. Second brother doesn't want to buy, right? Then second sister-in-law and Guiyuan will be in one group, old Dou's mother will be in one group, A Yao Xingzi will be in one group, eldest brother and sister-in-law will be in one group, and Diana and I will be in one group, a total of five groups. Sixty yuan per group. After collecting the money, I will write the score of the game to be bought to old Dou. Old Dou, you go and buy it." A Zu said.

"Ah? Why do you want me to buy it?" asked the old man puzzledly.

"We all have to go to work, you are the only one free." A Zu said as a matter of course, and the others nodded.
