Reborn to be rich

Chapter 142
From Italy to England, Zhang Guodong has always been a little worried. Although winning the lottery is a common thing, he still brought his girlfriend with him when he was abroad. He didn’t waste time when he arrived in London. He brought some gifts to his family with Ouyang Xinlan. Zhang Guodong found a hotel that was closest to the three lottery head offices in London, and the final results would come out at 05:30 p.m. Zhang Guodong bought a flight ticket to Huaguo Xiangjiang at 05:30, and there happened to be a flight to Xiangjiang at [-]:[-] airliner.

Ouyang Xinlan saw Zhang Guodong's serious nervousness, and she also obediently held Zhang Guodong's arm tightly, not wanting to cause him any trouble.

03:30 Zhang Guodong asked Ouyang Xinlan to wait in the hotel alone. He wore a suit, a black top hat, and bought a pair of large-frame sunglasses. He came to the entrance of the prize redemption center and waited for the final results of the World Cup.

Finally, after 42:42, the lottery center suddenly started to be crowded with people. Taking advantage of the chaos, Zhang Guodong squeezed into the crowd. In front of him were all lottery players who came to claim the prizes. Most of them were hundreds of thousands of prize winners. The largest one was only [-]. This middle-aged man who won a grand prize of [-] pounds found that he also took out a pair of sunglasses after winning the prize. There are many people dressed like Zhang Guodong in this kind of place.

"Sir, please wait a moment. We need to verify the winning amount of more than 10 yuan before we can issue the bonus." The girl at the counter saw Zhang Guodong take out more than a dozen lottery tickets. The first one was the one that guessed the final score. Excluding lottery tickets, he bought a total of 1600 pounds of lottery tickets from this lottery company, and the winning amount was calculated to be [-] million.

The lottery company redeemed the prize very quickly, their manager came over to shake hands with Zhang Guodong and took a photo, and all the formalities were going according to the procedure.

After more than ten minutes, the money has already arrived in the account. Zhang Guodong also opened an account in country y for this trip to Europe. The income tax here is so big that you doubt your life. When the 1640850 pounds arrive in the account, there are only more than 1200 million left in the account. After refusing the bank manager's request to help him with his financial management, Zhang Guodong went out and went directly to the next lottery company exchange point.

This is also an exchange amount of tens of millions of pounds. Fortunately, Zhang Guodong saw that this exchange point has a VIP channel. After entering, he also knew the process of receiving the prize. After more than ten minutes, the matter was settled, and he continued to go to the last lottery company.

The last lottery company received only 260 million pounds after the exchange. Zhang Guodong stopped a taxi when he left the prize redemption center. After walking for thousands of meters and found no one following him, Zhang Guodong breathed a sigh of relief.

When he arrived at the hotel where Ouyang Xinlan was staying, Zhang Guodong found that she was already waiting for him with a suitcase at the entrance of the hotel. After checking out quickly, Zhang Guodong found that it was already 45:20. He tipped the driver [-] pounds, and the driver drove all the way to the airport. , the two entered the airport to pick up the tickets and heard that their plane had already started boarding. They hurriedly boarded the plane all the way, and Zhang Guodong leaned on the seat and let out a sigh of relief.

"Guodong, why didn't you take me to redeem the prize just now, isn't it very dangerous!"

Ouyang Xinlan leaned gently on Zhang Guodong's shoulder. During the half an hour after Zhang Guodong left, she was always worried. Although she didn't know how much money Zhang Guodong exchanged this time, it was the first time she saw him so careful.

"Let's take precautions together! After all, we took away tens of millions of gold this time. Every city has its underground forces. If they target Liu, they will be in trouble." Zhang Guodong looked at Ouyang Xinlan and laughed.

This trip he earned a total of more than 2700 million pounds, 2400 million m gold, according to the current international exchange rate is 4000 million rmb, when he returned to Qindu City, not to mention the eco-tourism development of Zhangjialing Village, many things can now be done get ready.

Seeing Zhang Guodong relax, Ouyang Xinlan leaned on his chest obediently.

"Honey, I promised to bring cosmetics and bags to my classmates! I didn't get anything after being messed up like this!" Ouyang Xinlan pursed her lips and acted coquettishly.

"Let's buy it when we arrive in Hong Kong! As one of the three major financial cities in the world, Xiangjiang has cosmetics from major brands in Europe. Let's play in Xiangjiang for three days. We can buy whatever you want. If we have enough fun, we can take the plane Go to the capital."

Zhang Guodong originally agreed to take her out to watch the World Cup, but in the end he spent all his thoughts on the lottery and gambling. In the last month, she basically accommodated him, and he was basically safe in Xiangjiang.

What Zhang Guodong didn't think of was that on the first day of his arrival in Xiangjiang, Zhang Guodong had just checked into the hotel for half a day, and a western face came to see him. Zhang Guodong saw that it was the hotel manager in person. Manager, Zhang Guodong opened the door and invited him in.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang! This is my business card. I am sorry to disturb you at this time, but please rest assured that I have no malice in looking for you. Yesterday you won 3300 million pounds in football lottery, and you paid more than 500 million in income tax alone , I received the news of your arrival in Xiangjiang today, and it took me a lot of effort to find out where you live..."

This young man in a suit and leather shoes spoke fluent Mandarin, which made people marvel. Ouyang Xinlan's face turned pale when she heard that it was a lottery ticket.Zhang Guodong looked at the introduction on the business card, which said the business manager of Xiangjiang District of HSBC Bank.

"How do you know, what do you want to do." At this time, Xiangjiang is still under the control of country y, but the influence of Hua country here does not allow them to do whatever they want.

"Sir, I have no malice. I said this at the beginning. As for why we knew you won the lottery, our bank, as one of the world's three major banks, has its own channels. Your pound is still in Barclays Bank in country y." , Barclays Bank is just a local company in country y, and its business in Xiangjiang is less than [-]% of that of HSBC. If you are willing to deposit your money in our bank, we are willing to give you a return that you are satisfied with." The other party said confidently.

Ouyang Xinlan was relieved when she heard this, as long as she didn't come looking for trouble, she got off the plane and thought about her trip to Europe, which made her a little scared.

"Can you help me exchange British pounds into m gold?" Zhang Guodong also guessed the purpose of the other party, and the government of country y would definitely not target him for a mere tens of millions.

"Of course there is no problem. Whether it is m yuan, Hong Kong dollar or RMB, you can exchange it at any time if you need it. In addition, we can help you with any investment and financial management you need. We have the world's top experts to help analyze various markets in the world." The young man continued. arrive.

"Okay then! I will go to your bank tomorrow. I hope we can cooperate happily!" Zhang Guodong stood up and shook hands with the other party. HSBC Bank is one of the top three banks in the world and has branches in every major city in China. Transfer the money to HSBC is also more convenient to go home.

"Then I won't bother you! I just paid your hotel room fee for one month. If you need anything in Xiangjiang, you can call me anytime!"

After finishing speaking, the young man took three polite steps back before turning around and leaving. For the first time, Zhang Guodong felt the power of money in a capitalist society. You are a billionaire and people will naturally surround you. If you put more than 2 million RMB in bank interest, you will be paid a day. There are 3 to 4, and you can comfortably live a lifetime lying down.

On the second day, Zhang Guodong ate the breakfast brought by the waiter, and the two went downstairs to go to HSBC.As soon as he left the hotel gate, he saw a Bentley parked at the hotel gate, and an oriental-looking man in a suit got out of the car and came to Zhang Guodong.

"Hi, Mr. Zhang! I was sent by Mr. Charlie to pick you up to HSBC." The visitor said with a bow. Zhang Guodong didn't like their inferior behavior, but he nodded and got into the car with Ouyang Xinlan .

HSBC gradually realized that all the etiquette was in place. When Zhang Guodong arrived at the Xiangjiang branch of HSBC, the Mr. Charlie who came to the hotel to look for Zhang Guodong yesterday was already waiting at the door.

Zhang Guodong was brought into a luxurious living room, and a beautiful girl from country y brought them desserts, fruit plates and tea. Seeing the girl pouring tea elegantly, Zhang Guodong couldn't help but lament that people from country y really enjoy life.

"When can we start? Later, I plan to take my girlfriend to Hong Kong Island for shopping, and we plan to meet Beijing the day after tomorrow." Zhang Guodong drank a cup of tea. Although he didn't know much about tea, the tea was fragrant. It was indeed more fragrant than the one he drank before, and the lingering fragrance in his mouth was lingering after drinking it.

"Mr. Zhang is so anxious? Don't you have fun in Xiangjiang? Do you have any plans to speculate in stocks or invest? I know a lot of good projects, and the annual profit of investing tens of millions of gold is at least 200 million."

"No, just help me convert all the pounds into m yuan."

Now the economic bubble caused by the Hiroshima agreement in Japan has been manifested, and Japan's housing prices have almost reached the highest point, and it is a bit late to invest now. If it is to invest in stocks, Zhang Guodong used their so-called experts?

VIP treatment is so good, Zhang Guodong didn’t need to be busy, he just signed a few words, and the 2700 million pounds was converted into more than 3400 million m yuan. Adding his original 2400 million, he suddenly had more than 5800 million in his hands m gold.

Rejected the proposal of Tian Hong Kong dollar and RMB. Now the reform and opening up of Huaguo is in need of foreign exchange, especially m yuan. It is difficult to exchange 5 yuan for 1m yuan in the black market. These m yuan can buy a lot of Hua Equipment that cannot be produced by the country itself.

Coming out of HSBC, Zhang Guodong took a taxi to Hong Kong Island, which is indeed the place with the most expensive land in the world, and the high-rise buildings everywhere are no less prosperous than London.

Ouyang Xinlan couldn't walk when she saw a bridal dress shop, standing outside the glass window at the door, her eyes were full of little stars.

"Go in and have a look if you like it!" Zhang Guodong said.

"Forget it, it must be very expensive, and we don't know when we get married!" Ouyang Xinlan shook her head when she saw it.

"Just take a look when you come here! The suits here look good, buy one for your dad."

Ouyang Xinlan nodded when she heard this, she hadn't thought of bringing anything to her father, she just bought a suit for him when she got here.

"Welcome to Pronovias, do you need custom-made wedding dresses?" A young western lady stepped forward and asked, she spoke not-so-authentic British English and said with a smile.

"We need to take a look first, thank you!" Zhang Guodong returned in English.

At this time, Ouyang Xinlan was already attracted by the various wedding dresses in the store. She walked in front of each wedding dress, and each wedding dress illuminated by the golden lights in the wedding dress shop was extraordinarily beautiful.

"Miss, our Pronovias is the world's number one wedding dress customization brand. Every wedding dress is designed by a professional master. If you like Chinese wedding dresses, we can also customize them here. The wedding dresses here are all samples. You can try them first. "

This lady also saw Ouyang Xinlan's liking for wedding dresses. It should be said that no girl can resist the charm of wedding dresses.

Ouyang Xinlan was dragged to try one after another, and each one had to be evaluated by Zhang Guodong. Several shop assistants kept introducing different wedding dress designs to her when they saw her. When he came out of the fitting room, Zhang Guodong saw the reluctance in her eyes.

"Buy one if you like it! You will wear it when we get married, it will be very beautiful." Zhang Guodong said.

"But what if my family doesn't agree to wearing a wedding dress to get married!"

There were still very few Western-style weddings in China in the 90s, especially in Qin Province, which is in the west of Huaguo, and there were basically no Western-style weddings.

"When the time comes when the two of us have booked a venue for the wedding, how can your parents object? I think that toast suit is pretty good, and you can wear this after the wedding." Zhang Guodong traded.

In the end, Ouyang Xinlan did not resist the temptation of the wedding dress, and ordered a 25 Hong Kong dollar piece on the recommendation of the shop assistant, which was less than 5 yuan when exchanged for m yuan. After that, the shop assistant recommended a set of headwear, 12 Hong Kong dollars with 33 diamonds , Zhang Guodong also bought it with a wave of his hand.

"Guodong, let's order a suit for you too! We'll wear it when we get married. My dad doesn't suit the suits here. We'll show him a coat later."

Ouyang Xinlan took Zhang Guodong and ordered two suits, shirts, ties, belts, and shoes.In addition, Ouyang Xinlan's toast clothes cost 41 Hong Kong dollars, which is the price of a Cherokee.

It took half a year to pick up the order, so Zhang Guodong had to ask the other party to post it to Zhangjialing. The freight shop couldn't pay for these items, so Zhangjialing paid 8000 yuan more.

When paying the bill, Zhang Guodong went to the bank to exchange Hong Kong dollars. It was troublesome to say that he did not swipe his card at this time, and it was already noon when he came out of the bridal shop.

To say that the biggest change for the two of them during their trip to Europe may be that they are used to eating half-cooked steaks and sashimi. There is a Michelin restaurant not far from the bridal shop. Of course they have to eat well at the end. After eating a seafood sashimi feast and drinking an afternoon tea, I got up and went shopping again when the heat outside was no longer so hot.

In the morning, the bridal shop spent more than 40 yuan, and Ouyang Xinlan was no longer reluctant. She went to a cosmetics store and directly bought more than ten sets. Ouyang Xinlan brought cosmetics to all the relatives and friends she could remember. More than 3 Hong Kong dollars.
