Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 153 [Enriching life, the secret behind the lottery]

Guo Xu surfed the Internet at home in the evening and planned to go to bed until he was very sleepy. Δ Read ΔBook ΔGeWwW. КanSUge. La: He has the experience of cycling and wants to make full use of his time. Regardless of whether he sleeps or not, he will be very energetic the next day.

He plays games for a while and surfs the Internet for a while, looking up methods and recipes for growing taller online.

There are many people who continue to grow taller after the age of 20. There are many examples of this. Guo Xu has never given up hope of growing taller. He doesn't plan to try the method of taking height-increasing drugs. It will be funny if the side effects are serious and affect his health, or if there are problems in the urine test after the game.

He can try to increase his diet. He should eat more black beans, eggs, sardines, spinach, oranges, etc. But that has to wait until the time loop ends, and his body shape will not change during this period, which is a bug.

He stayed up until six o'clock in the morning. Guo Xu saw the word 8 tattooed on the back of his hand, emitting blue light. When he opened his eyes again, he lay flat on the bed. The computer automatically shut down and the money he spent was returned. The time was January 3 day.

The situation is exactly the same as what happened to Polis. He can train with confidence. Unless he has the strength to compete with Iverson in the finals, the cycle will not end.

Guo Xu made a plan to practice football five days a week and have two days off, like an office worker.

He was very fulfilled every day, and before he knew it, more than a hundred days had passed...

Los Angeles is different from Polis. There are so many things to do, and Guo Xu doesn't feel bored at all.

When he was not practicing football, he went to Celine Dion's concerts, visited various theme parks, practiced shooting, archery, went fishing on a boat, etc.

And Guo Xu can always find someone to accompany him. There are many female fans in Los Angeles chasing him, from all ethnic groups. People often leave his phone number for him during home games.

Normally, Guo Xu was afraid that some people would get involved and he wouldn't be able to get rid of them, so he didn't dare to contact these hot girls.

He has no worries when entering the time loop and doesn't mind having a one-day relationship at all. If the two of them get along well, he doesn't mind dating for a few more days.

He asked O'Neal to go to Hollywood many times with him, and meeting celebrities everywhere was a fun he had never experienced before.

He met Black Pearl Halle Berry. O'Neal was particularly obsessed with her before he entered the NBA, looking like Brother Pig.

He signed an autograph for Zoe Saldana, a newcomer in Hollywood who was currently playing a small role, and told her that she would definitely become famous in the future.

Because her smile is contagious.

He and Kirsten Dunst, who has not yet become Spider-Man's girlfriend, played tennis and had dinner together, and the two got along quite well. However, Kirsten is not the type of woman Guo Xu likes. She has a big face and loves to smoke. The two of them are more like buddies who hit it off immediately, and they both have familiar personalities.

Actor Guo Xu has met more, including Nicolas Cage, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, etc.

Guo Xu chatted and took photos with 36-year-old Keanu Reeves. Keanu looks much more like a brother than Statham and him. Unfortunately, this photo cannot be saved unless he goes to meet again after the cycle ends.

He also visited the Griffith Observatory to see the scenery, climbed several mountains around Los Angeles, and became thoroughly familiar with the city.

Of course, there are also things that make Guo Xu unhappy, such as his discovery of a huge shady secret involving an American gambling company.

Mega Millions is one of the most popular lotteries in the United States, with jackpots available in 43 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The buyer selects 5 numbers from 1 to 75, and then selects 1 Million Ball number from 1 to 15 to form 6 numbers. The lottery is drawn every Tuesday and Friday night, and the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 259 million.

Guo Xu's time cycle this time happened to be on Friday, which was the lottery draw day. He often saw lottery draw news online, and the prize money had accumulated to 116 million.

What is the concept of this number? In the 1997-1998 season, the Minnesota Timberwolves renewed Garnett's contract with a six-year, $126 million contract. Then the NBA went into lockout in the 1998-99 season. At that time, almost all media believed that Garnett's super-large contract was the cause of the NBA lockout. main reason.

Guo Xu thought this was an opportunity to get rich overnight. He only needed to buy a lottery ticket and his net worth would be almost the same as Garnett's, only 10 million lower than that huge contract.

If a person wins the lottery multiple times, it may lead to an FBI investigation. If he is lucky enough to win only once, no one will say anything.

Guo Xu memorized the six digits of this lottery winning number very well. Although he had to wait until the cycle was over before he could claim the prize, he still went to buy it because he wanted to experience the feeling of winning the jackpot earlier.

In his two lifetimes, except for a bottle of iced black tea, Guo Xu has never won a prize. Unfortunately, he continued this record. When the lottery was drawn that night, the winning number actually changed! changed! changed!

Guo Xu was stunned while watching TV, and unexpectedly discovered a huge fraud case. What's frustrating is that he doesn't have any evidence to sue the gaming company, and it's useless to sue. The company's backstage is unknown, and civilians can't fight against it.

Guo Xu did not buy a lottery ticket the next day, and the numbers returned to their original numbers, which remained unchanged for several days.

Guo Xu did not believe in evil, so the second time he bought a $50,000 lottery ticket with the correct numbers mixed in. This is of no use, the number changed again that night...

Then he came to the conclusion that the American lottery was just a scam. Those who won big prizes might be relatives of insiders of the gaming company, and they would send the money back after receiving it. Or it might be that the U.S. officials took the money away for unknown reasons. went.

Of course, there are many ways for Guo Xu to make money through investment, such as buying stocks. He doesn't understand stock trading, but as a reborn person, he knows which company will develop well in the future.

Apple's stock is so cheap right now, only $1.40 per share. In his previous life, Apple's stock price soared to over 200 in 2018. As long as he bought the stock and sold it in the future, he would be a millionaire.

Apple is not the one with the most outrageous stock price rise. The most exaggerated listed company is Priceline, the king of the online travel industry.

Priceline is a travel service website based on the C2B business model founded by American Jay Walker in 1998. The most intuitive options are air tickets, hotels, car rentals, and travel insurance. Priceline is a typical online economy. It provides an information platform for buyers and sellers to facilitate transactions and extract a certain commission at the same time.

This company has been listed since 1999. The current share price is just over 10 yuan. By 2018, the share price has risen to a maximum of 2,000 yuan. This is a well-deserved living fossil among Internet companies, one of the only two remaining after the Internet bubble burst. Another company is Amazon. They survived the first Internet bubble and experienced bubble valuations. After their stock prices fell by more than 90%, they increased dozens or hundreds of times.

Guo Xu knew about this company because Chinese news reported many times that the famous land dealer Li Ka-shing had invested in this company and made a fortune.

In February 2001, Li Ka-shing's Cheung Kong Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa spent US$73.52 million to acquire 17.54% of Priceline's equity, and later gradually increased their holdings to more than 30%, becoming Priceline's largest shareholder. Helped it survive the Internet bubble crisis.

Guo Xu plans to wait for the Internet bubble to pass, and then invest money in this stock one after another to make big fish in the long run. But this is different from winning the lottery. There is no thrill of getting rich overnight, and money is just a number.

Even if he doesn't trade in stocks, if he continues to develop like this in the basketball world, relying on his playing salary and advertising endorsements, he won't be short of money in the future.
