569 【Bodyguards】
Although Song Weiyang made $150 million by buying the fourth place in South Korea, the bookmakers did not lose money at all, because this unpopularity made the bookmakers make more money.
When South Korea played against Italy, most fans bought Italy to win, and the bookmaker made a lot of money; when South Korea played against Spain, fans thought that FIFA would prevent the black whistle from happening again, so most people still bought Spain to win, and the bookmaker made a lot of money. When South Korea played against Germany in the semi-finals, fans were extremely disappointed with FIFA and felt that South Korea would continue to win, so the bookmaker made a lot of money.
It's not just the Korean team's game, but there are too many upsets in this World Cup.
What is Song Weiyang's 150 million dollar bonus?
The bookmaker can afford it!
As the second largest gambling company in Europe, William Hill is still very professional, at least on the surface. She thought to herself with a lottery ticket of $1 million and seven $100 bets, and flew to Harbor City to claim the prize. She received the prize from William Hill's Harbor City branch in minutes.
Well, Song Weiyang bought the lottery ticket in Hong Kong City.
Although William Hill had already started online gambling, it was not considered a legal project by the British government. In order to avoid the other party's refusal, Song Weiyang directly bought lottery tickets on physical sites and the gambling industry flourished. William Hill had already established a branch here.
At the end of June.
Song Weiyang's four male bodyguards and Lin Zhuoyun's two female bodyguards both received huge bonuses brought back by Chen Jing, and each of them was exchanged for soft girl coins of 100,000 yuan (after tax).
This is also the reason why Song Weiyang chose to buy William Hill Lottery. The gambling tax rate in Hong Kong City and the UK is the same. The ordinary betting tax rate is 12%, and the special betting tax rate is 18%. Song Weiyang's fourth place in South Korea is considered a special bet, and the tax amount required to be paid is 18% of the prize amount.
If you buy lottery tickets in the United States, it will be nonsense. You will first collect 25% of the national tax, then minus 3%-6% of the state tax, and finally deduct personal income tax. Take the 150 million US dollars from Song Weiyang for example. If you go to the United States to place a bet, at least 80 million will be deducted. It’s so damn!
Zhou Xinfang was holding a check with a fraction of 100,000 yuan in her hand, and was quite nervous inside, and asked Zhang Juan in a low voice: "Xiaojuan, can you get this money?"
"Can you get it." Zhang Juan was not sure.
They were all hired to be bodyguards for Lin Zhuoyun. Less than a month after they were on duty, they suddenly dropped a huge sum of 100,000 yuan from the sky. They were both excited and a little scared because they left their original unit in May and always felt that taking money like this would violate discipline.
Chinese female soldiers are generally mainly literary and artistic soldiers, communication soldiers and health soldiers. Although these types of female soldiers also have basic military training, they may not have more than 100 live-fire shots in three years. They are more likely to learn relevant professional knowledge. Zhou Xinfang and Zhang Juan are both relatively rare combat female soldiers. It is difficult to hire such retired female soldiers. Most of the time you want to invite them but don’t know where to find them.
He smiled thoughtfully and said, "Take it all, I have a share this time. When the boss went to South Korea to watch football, he bought a few lottery tickets for everyone, and he happened to win the jackpot. You can also collect the ticket stubs of the lottery, which can be used as a souvenir. As for this check, it was opened by Citibank in Hong Kong City and can only be cashed in at Citibank in the mainland. There is Citibank in Shenghai. If you need help when withdrawing money, tell me."
"Then I will thank the boss on my behalf!" Zhang Juan became more free and easy, and smiled and put the cash check and lottery ticket stubs in her pocket.
Girls love beauty and quietness. Even if they become soldiers, they rarely become combat soldiers. There is a reason for making this choice.
Both girls are from rural areas. Zhang Juan dropped out of school in the second year of junior high school and worked in the county for a year before joining the army.
Zhou Xinfang graduated from high school and only got into college. Her family favored boys over girls and refused to let her go. She even arranged for her to change her brother's bruteness and wanted to marry her to a middle-aged lame man. So Zhou Xinfang signed up for the army and kowtowed to the recruiting cadres on the spot. The soldiers were indignant and took her back to the village to do ideological work for their family.
Due to years of hard work, the two of them had rough hands and thick waists and legs. But they were not fierce. Zhang Juan smiled silly and carelessly; while Zhou Xinfang was more calm and didn't like to talk much, and always carried a knife with her.
Seeing Chen thought turning and leaving, Zhou Xinfang suddenly shouted: "Ms. Chen!"
"What's wrong?" asked meditate.
Zhou Xinfang said: "I will take a break tomorrow. Can you take me to the bank to withdraw money? I have never been to Shenghai before, and I don't know where Citibank and the post office are. I want to send the money to my home."
He pondered and said, "Yes. By the way, if you have any difficulties at home, you can tell me and I will try my best to help."
"No, no, no." Zhou Xinfang shook his head quickly.
Zhou Xinfang used to be a border guard. Because of her excellent performance, she was recommended to go to the military academy for further studies. Later, she became a border anti-drug police officer. She joined the army from the northwest ravine, plunged into the southwest ravine, and then moved from the border defense force to the border anti-drug station. She stayed for several years in total. At the beginning, she only did some trivial logistics work. After the team leader died, she went to the front line, mainly conducting inspections in bus stations and other places, and occasionally had more dangerous tasks.
There is a scar on Zhou Xinfang's shoulder after the bullet hole was healed. She made a contribution at the beginning of the year and accidentally captured the leader of a gang, but was transferred from the border drug control station for this reason. Otherwise, she would probably suffer revenge from the gang. At the same time, because of her mental problems, she often had nightmares in the middle of the night, always yelling and waking up, and was later diagnosed with moderate depression.
Zhou Xinfang was transferred to be an ordinary police officer for these reasons. After a few months, she stopped having nightmares and her spirits returned to normal. But she felt very bored and had enough of trivial matters. Then the old leader suddenly called and asked her if she would be a bodyguard for the boss.
This month, Zhou Xinfang and Zhang Juan were both learning to drive, and after getting a driver's license, she worked part-time as a driver. She was very satisfied with her current job, but the prosperity of the big city made her a little confused, as if she had entered another brand new world.
Two days ago, Lin Zhuoyun took Zhou Xinfang and Zhang Juan to shop and bought four new sets of clothes for them. Two of them were pretty sportswear, while the other two were colorful and beautiful clothes. The price scared the two retired female soldiers to dare not take them. But Lin Zhuoyun still bought them. That night, in the suite next door, the two retired female soldiers began to dress up for the first time, turning back and forth in front of the mirror and couldn't bear to take them off.
Lin Zhuoyun also said to them: "You take a break every half month. When you don't work, you can go out for more. When you meet a boy you like, you can also try to get in touch. It doesn't matter if the other party is poor, you must have a good character. Then I will ask Mr. Song to help you check it yourself. He is very good at judging people."
Zhou Xinfang was originally worried that the employer would not be able to serve him. After all, he was a big boss, so he might make things difficult for him. Now he found that he was actually too worried. Lin Zhuoyun is very kind-hearted and does not treat them as outsiders at all. She also teaches them a lot of common sense in life, just like their big sisters.
By the way, there are four male bodyguards responsible for Mr. Zhou’s safety, all of whom are veterans.
Hong Weiguo is the oldest and is already married. He spends a few days a month to reunite with his family. But most of the time, these bodyguards live together. Mr. Zhou bought all the two houses next door, one for the male bodyguard and the other for the female bodyguard.
During the off-selling period, Zhou Xinfang liked to stay with these male bodyguards in addition to practicing driving. She talked about the topics when she was in the army, occasionally learning a few tricks from the other party, or cooking and housework together, and her life was very relaxed and comfortable.
Zhou Xinfang likes the male bodyguard named Kong Dazhu a little bit. Although he is not very educated, he is quite handsome and doesn't talk much like her. He looks very down-to-earth and reliable. Unfortunately, both of them are stuffy. Even if they stay together all day, they don't say more than 20 words in total. The main reason is that they don't know what to say. Moreover, Zhou Xinfang always feels shy inexplicably in front of Kong Dazhu, and even dares to contact each other's eyes.
However, Zhang Juan has a carefree personality and calls her brothers to these male bodyguards. She often tells dirty jokes with her arms around her, and sometimes she directly picks the cigarette from the other person's mouth to smoke.
So Zhou Xinfang envied Zhang Juan very much. She also wanted to have such a personality and popularity, and wanted to be able to have close contact with Kong Dazhu anytime and anywhere.
Back at the female bodyguard's suite, Zhang Juan was lying on the bed, crossing her legs while pretending to sleep. When she heard the door opening, she immediately said, "Sister Zhou, are you going to remit money tomorrow?"
"Yes," Zhou Xinfang said, "Ms. Shen took me there personally, go to the bank first, and then to the post office."
Zhang Juan twisted her neck and sat up, handed out her check, and said casually: "I'll give you an address and help me transfer the 100,000 yuan, and bring the remaining few hundred yuan to me."
Zhou Xinfang was very surprised: "This is 100,000 yuan, aren't you afraid that I will embezzle it?"
Zhang Juan said happily: "You are so brave, like a little chicken, and you dare to embezzle my 100,000 yuan?"
Zhou Xinfang defended her and said, "I am very brave. Once during a roadside arbitration, my comrades and I both had two guns, and they intercepted a van's drug transporter. The leader pretended to be honest with me, but when I got off the car, I took a knife and slashed me. I shot him directly. The rest were all squatted on the ground in a regular manner."
"That's because you're lucky. No one brings a gun on the other party. You must be criticized when you go back, right?" Although Zhang Juan was complaining, she still admired her. She didn't have such experiences in life and death.
Zhou Xinfang smiled and said, "After criticism, it is a reward."
Zhang Juan took out a cigarette and skillfully held it in her mouth: "Do you like Kong Dazhu?"
"Where is it?" Zhou Xinfang's face turned red.
Zhang Juan sat cross-legged on the bed, sucking her feet with one hand and holding a cigarette in the other: "You can cheat me? I'll ask you another day, see if he minds finding a sister, after all, you are three years older than him. But I think it's okay. Although your face is dark, you are very upright and you are considered a beauty in your size. Moreover, you graduated from high school and studied in the military academy in the army. You can crush Lao Kong to death with a diploma. He Lao Kong was too happy, so how could he say no?"
"Don't talk nonsense," Zhou Xinfang said anxiously, "Xiaojuan, we are here to be a bodyguard, not a partner here. Especially if we are still having a partner with Mr. Zhou's male bodyguard, this will definitely affect normal work. How great is Miss Lin and Mr. Zhou, one buys us clothes and the other buys us a lottery of 100,000 yuan. We can't think of those messy things as soon as we go to work."
"Okay, I know," Zhang Juan said, spitting out smoke rings, "Mr. Zhou and Miss Lin are really good. How can I not know this? I am just a local bun from the countryside. I am short and ugly. I took a family leave when I was in the army. I went home for several blind dates but didn't make it. I have no hope in my life. Mr. Zhou and his wife are kind to me, so I will give it to them. Anyway, no man can respect me, and I will never get married in this life. As long as Mr. Zhou is willing, I will be a bodyguard for them for the rest of their lives. You are different. You have a military academy diploma. In addition to being a little darker, you are actually quite handsome. You should find a good man to marry. I asked Miss Lin, she would not stop us from getting married, and she also hopes that we will get married sooner. Whether it is a man or a woman, it will definitely be safer after getting married."
Zhou Xinfang was already embarrassed. She had never been so panicked when facing the vicious thugs. She quickly spread her hands and said, "Stop talking nonsense, give me your remittance address."
