Chapter 002 Receiving the Award
January 24th.
Thursday.
morning.
Bai He slept until he woke up naturally. After waking up, he looked at the time, it was half past six.
"get up!"
After Bai He got up and washed up, he called his father.
"Dad, do you want to go out to work today?"
"Not going out."
"You stay at home. I'm going home later."
"What happened?"
"We'll talk about it when I get home."
"Today is Thursday, you don't go to work?"
"Let's talk when we meet."
Bai He left the community in a second-hand Mazda car and came to the door of a breakfast shop, where he bought steamed buns and salty tofu pudding.
After eating, Bai He drove back to his hometown in the countryside.
More than twenty minutes later, Bai He drove to his door.
Parents are sitting in the restaurant having breakfast.
"Dad, Mom!" Bai He said with a smile, "Your son is rich."
"Did you win the lottery?" Bai He's mother Yu Lixian asked with a smile.
"Mom, you are so awesome!" Bai He smiled and gave his mother a thumbs up. "Yesterday, it was my birthday on the Gregorian calendar. I went to the lottery shop and bought a lottery ticket. I was so lucky. The first prize was 100 million.
.”
"Really?" Yu Lixian said in surprise.
Bai He took out the lottery ticket from his pocket and placed it on the dining table. Then he took out his mobile phone and searched for "Super Lotto winning numbers" online.
"Mom, look, this is the winning number, it matches, right? This is the lottery number, it matches too, that's right."
"Ten bets, 10 million each?" Bai He's father Bai Guohua said in surprise, "I remember the first prize of the lottery is 5 million."
"There are too few winners, and the bonuses received are too small. The bonuses in the bonus pool are accumulating more and more. The grand prize will be doubled, and the distribution of bonuses will be increased." Bai He said with a smile.
"I don't understand." Bai Guohua said with a smile, "Can you receive the award today?"
"Okay. Dad, Mom, you will accompany me to Hangzhou to receive the award."
Half an hour later, Bai He drove his parents away from Baijia Village.
It took more than three hours for Bai He to safely drive the car to the entrance of the Provincial Sports Lottery Center.
Bai He took out a lottery ticket with ten times the stake, and after completing the procedures to receive the 80 million after-tax bonus, he smiled and said to his parents: "Dad, Mom, I still have the lottery ticket in my hand to claim the prize."
"You also won a small prize?" Bai Guohua asked with a smile.
"There are also 710 first prizes, a bonus of 7.1 billion, plus this 100 million, the total is 7.2 billion!"
Bai Guohua, Yu Lixian, and the staff of the Provincial Sports Lottery Center who heard Bai He's voice all showed surprised expressions.
Bai He took out eight lottery tickets.
In two installments, Bai He received a total of 5.76 billion in after-tax bonuses.
Bai He did not donate a penny to charity, and he planned to donate again in the future.
"Mom and Dad, we've had a lot of fun in Hangzhou for a few days. Now we're going to a five-star hotel for lunch."
Bai He drove his parents to the Four Seasons Hotel at West Lake.
The three of them had a sumptuous meal at the Sands Restaurant.
Michelin three-star restaurants are expensive.
I opened a bottle of imported red wine to celebrate.
One meal cost more than 7,000 yuan.
After lunch, the three of them booked two rooms in the hotel.
"Mom, dad, take a good nap. In the afternoon, I will take you to a high-end shopping mall."
"Can't sleep." Yu Lixian smiled.
"If you can't sleep, let's lie down for a while." Bai He yawned, "I'm a little sleepy."
"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Yu Lixian asked with concern.
"I slept very well last night. I won't say any more, I went into the house and went to sleep."
More than two hours later, Bai He and his parents took a taxi and left the hotel and went to Hangcheng Tower for shopping.
The car Bai He drove bore the license plate of his hometown. The driving of foreign vehicles was restricted in Hangzhou. In order to avoid fines and demerit points, he chose to travel by taxi.
Buy! Buy! Buy!
Bai He took his parents to a shop selling luggage and bought two suitcases.
After that, the three of them started a crazy shopping trip.
"Mom, I'll buy you a bag."
Bai He took his mother's hand and entered the LV clothing store.
"Does this bag look good?"
"It looks good." Yu Lixian saw the price and quickly refused, "It's too expensive, don't want it."
"Mom, your son is rich." Bai He said with a smile, "If you like it, buy it."
"Look again."
"We have to buy a lot of things, time is precious, so just buy something if you like it."
"I'm picky."
"OK."
Less than ten minutes later, Xia Feng bought a bag worth more than 20,000 yuan for her mother through mobile payment.
Afterwards, the three people came to the Rolex store.
"Dad, Mom, let's not think about the price, just pick something good-looking and buy it."
"The more expensive it is, the better it looks." Yu Lixian smiled.
"Then pick the expensive one."
The three of them did not choose the most expensive watch. One of them chose a watch, which cost more than one million yuan in total.
I just bought a watch and put it on my hand.
Things such as watch boxes and shopping receipts are all placed in the suitcase.
Then visit a clothing store.
Everyone bought several sets of clothes.
Everyone buys a pair of shoes.
At Bai He's suggestion, the parents put on new shoes without taking them off. They were reluctant to throw away the old shoes and put them in bags.
The shoes Bai He wore were new and they were very comfortable, so he didn't change them.
In the evening, the three of them had dinner at the Rong Xiaochu restaurant in the mall.
After dinner, the three of them continued shopping.
"Mom, go to the jewelry store and buy some jewelry for you."
"Buy some jewelry for your grandma, too."
"OK."
At about nine o'clock in the evening, Bai He left the mall with his parents and took a taxi back to the hotel.
When taking the elevator upstairs, Bai Guohua said: "Go to my room and have a chat."
Bai He glanced at his father, smiled and asked, "Okay."
After entering the guest room, closing the door, putting down the suitcases and the bags they were carrying, Bai Guohua and Yu Lixian sat on the bed.
Bai Guohua looked at it and asked, "Do you want to hide the fact that you won the lottery ticket?"
"Do you think you can hide it?" Bai He asked.
"If you win a lottery of 10 million or even tens of millions, you can hide it if you want. But now that you have won 5.76 billion, you can become the richest man in Qucheng. It is impossible to hide it."
"How about we stop going back to our hometown and go live somewhere else." Bai He said with a joking tone, smiling.
"Okay!" Bai Guohua said with a smile.
"It's cold now. Let's go to Sanya to stay for a while and think about the future."
"Have you thought about traveling to Sanya before going out?" Yu Lixian said with a smile.
"No." Bai He said, "I just thought of it. If we want to travel to Sanya, there is no need for us to go shopping in the mall today. There are duty-free shops in Sanya, and it is more economical to go shopping in duty-free shops."
Bai Guohua asked: "I bought so many things today, what should I do with them? Isn't it easy to take them to Sanya?"
"It's a bit troublesome." Bai He smiled and said, "How about going to Sanya in a few days?"
"Okay!" Bai Guohua said with a smile, "What are the arrangements for tomorrow?"
"I originally wanted to order a Rolls-Royce, but now..." Bai He chuckled, "I still want to buy a luxury car."
"It feels like a dream!" Yu Lixian sighed with a smile.
"Yes!" Bai He nodded.
"Aren't you tired?" Yu Lixian asked.
"worn out."
