I am very poor

Huo Yushou has been very busy during this time.

Due to health considerations and Ms. Song's firm stand, it is impossible for Huo Yushou to leave Sydney at this time.But it is impossible not to deal with the work on Hong Kong Island.

Since this period of time, most of the work has been handled by the secretary's office first, and then the contents that must be decided by him are faxed to him for review and signature.

The cooperation between Ms. Song and Hong Kong Island has become more and more comprehensive and in-depth in recent years. However, Hong Kong Island is different from the mainland. It is very particular about blood and roots. Even Huo’s has a profound influence in many countries and regions based on Australia. It is also difficult to integrate into the ecological circle of Hong Kong Island within three to five years.

But having said that, for Huo's, although Hong Kong Island's economy, especially the real estate sector, has grown at an astonishing rate in the past two years, it is by no means necessary for Huo Yushou to be careful and cautious.

But Huo Yushou now has another identity - he represents the Song family who is faltering outward and seeking development.

Because it is close to City G and the epidemic situation on Hong Kong Island is equally serious, Huo Yushou immediately allocated a large amount of resources to support the charity relief organization established in the name of the Hong Kong Island branch.Because of the quick and timely response.In terms of actual effect, it has also made a lot of contributions to Hong Kong Island's fight against the virus.

Even if Huo Yushou is in Sydney, it is not at all easier than in Hong Kong Island.

Huo Yufei hadn't seen each other for several days.

Huo Yushou's residence is in the same park as his here, not far from each other, so it's very easy to see him if he wants to.

But Huo Yufei himself is also very busy.

Taking Gu Cheng to play in Sydney before was just two days out of his busy schedule. After two days, he felt sorry and helpless and continued to devote himself to work.Probably because I lived too leisurely in the past, and suddenly started to do things seriously, only to realize that the things I have to deal with are intricate and not easy.

According to the normal time plan, school will start in about a week, but the reality is that the spread of the epidemic in City B is very serious and has been declared an international emergency by the WHO.Under such circumstances, most colleges and universities, high schools and primary schools, and organizations and activities with a high density of personnel have all been suspended.The domestic situation is a little tense.So they don't need to consider returning to China in a short time.

For Huo Yufei, whether he stays at home or abroad, city B or Sydney, it doesn't make much difference.

But with or without Gu Cheng by his side, it is very different.

He is still very worried about the other party, and he always puts Gu Cheng within his reach to feel at ease.

Of course, there's really no need for such anxiety.

Gu Cheng has been very independent since he was a child, and he can always arrange his life well.

After they talked that day, Huo Yufei explained Gu Cheng's careless things that he didn't realize.I continued to motivate myself and read information magazines like "Eist" for a few days, then silently closed the book.

He found it difficult to establish a common language with Huo Yufei in a short period of time, so he decisively decided to go out to play by himself.A real man needs to be able to afford it and let it go. It is rare to go abroad once, and of course it must be spent on interesting things.

Gu Cheng is not very interested in those commercial tourism projects, and prefers to appreciate the completely different local customs and customs. Of course, there are also reasons for consumption habits.

Among the places he has been to in the past few days, there are two of his favorites. One is a promenade near Bondi Beach, which is erected on Sydney's clean and refreshing coastline.If you have enough time, if you keep going, you will pass a pure white lighthouse.After returning home at night, I mentioned it to Huo Yufei, only to realize that it was the first lighthouse in Australia, and it is still in normal use.

The other is Milsons Point opposite the harbor. The night view here is much quieter than Sydney Tower. The tall and straight palm trees are next to each other, casting thin shadows on the dark blue water, and there is a lot of traffic overhead. The Harbor Bridge, not far away is the swiftly flying Sydney Opera House and brightly lit skyscrapers.But beside me, there is only the sound of the waves, gentle and quiet.

A few times, with the gentle sea breeze blowing and the fresh smell in the air, Gu Cheng didn't want to leave.

As a result, Huo Yufei's call came in very precisely, as if some positioning device had been installed on him, and he could find where he was right away.

Wait, there is no positioning device installed, right?

Thinking of it this way, Gu Cheng really became a little suspicious, and couldn't help turning his head to look at the other party a few more times.

Huo Yufei was talking on the phone with a local friend.

Huo Yufei, who had just rested for a few days and continued to be busy, turned around only to find that his little rabbit had been freed.

He thought he was raising rabbits.

Huo Yufei always felt that leaving Little Rabbit alone at home made the other party wronged, so he worked overtime to finish the work at hand, gearing up to take the other party to the whole of Sydney.

As a result, I was told that all those who should go have already gone, and those who have not gone are not interested.

Huo Yufei was a little unconvinced.

He made up his mind to find a place that Gu Cheng must have never been to, and he would definitely be interested in it.

Sydney said it was big or small, and Gu Cheng had plenty of time, so he really visited all the scenic spots that could be marked in the travel brochure, and some even went twice.If Huo Yufei wants to find such a place, he still needs to spend some effort.

In addition, he didn't know much about Sydney, so he called to find foreign aid.

On the phone is a friend of Zhou Jianda, who is also a true "player" and has a deep knowledge in the art of eating, drinking and having fun.

Huo Yufei asked him for some advice.

The other party's recommendation is also really interesting.

He recommended a club in Xinggang City to Huo Yufei.

Gambling in Sydney is not illegal. Star City, which was completed a few years ago, provided gambling projects. When Huo Yufei heard the location reported by the other party, he felt that Gu Cheng would not like it.

The other party immediately noticed his concerns, and explained: "No, it's a club opened by a friend. Jian Da has also been to it. It's very interesting. You can ask him. With my introduction, no one will draw thousands of dollars to you. of."

Huo Yufei really asked Zhou Jianda.When Zhou Jianda heard that he wanted to go here, he immediately said that he could accompany him all the way.

Zhou Jianda has nothing to do recently. He grew up in Australia and came to Sydney when he was studying. He is very familiar with this place. Although he is working on a record company, to be honest, there is not much for him to worry about. .The Star Port City club was opened by a friend of theirs. The intention was to open it for self-entertainment and to make a little money by the way, but they didn't expect it to be very popular.

Huo Yufei didn't really want to take Gu Cheng to play, but he changed his mind when he thought that his little rabbit seemed to be very interested in financial investment these days.

Because the interesting thing about this club is that the "gambling" here is not stud, roulette, slot machines and the like in the previous concept.

At least when Gu Cheng stepped in, he didn't realize that this was a "gambling club".In other words, it doesn’t look like a club. People here dress formally and behave elegantly. They sit in twos and threes in the dome hall supported by the tall Ionic columns. The floor is covered with curved marble tiles. The sculptures in the center are clustered.

The statue is a curly-haired young man with an open chest and a curtain-like robe stretched to the ground, holding a long scepter in one hand and resting the other on the neck of a three-headed dog.

Noticing that he was watching this, Huo Yufei said in a timely manner: "Hades and his three-headed dog. Have you seen..."Harry Potter"?"

Gu Cheng shook his head, thinking what is this?Do you want to make up for "Harry Potter" when you go back?

"Oh," Huo Yufei brought the topic over, "Hades is the king of the underworld in Greek mythology, and the three-headed puppy is almost his symbol, just like on our side, Erlang God also brings On the one hand, Hades is in charge of Hades, and on the other hand, because he is in charge of the underground world, he is also the richest god."

"Because you are in charge of the underground world, so you are very rich?"

"That's right." Huo Yufei nodded solemnly, "Think about it, there are gold mines, silver mines, oil, natural gas, and South African real diamonds underground. How rich do you think he is?"

Suddenly there was a chuckle from behind.

Then I heard someone say: "Brother, you see Howell William is fooling people again."

As soon as Huo Yufei turned around, he saw Zhou Jianjian who was following Zhou Jianda.The little girl was only eleven or twelve years old, but she was dressed like a little princess, and the tutu skirt she was wearing was also heavily embroidered, which was very gorgeous.

Huo Yufei flicked her on the forehead first, and then raised his eyebrows to look at Zhou Jianda: "Your family, Jian Jian, is only so old, so you bring her here."

Zhou Jianda was also very helpless, as if there was something I could do.

He was dressed very formally this time, his hair color was normal, and he had a gentle smile on his face, Gu Cheng almost didn't recognize him at first glance.

It seems that everyone here does not seem to come to a casino for entertainment, but rather to attend some elegant reception.

Except him and Huo Yufei, of course.

The two of them wore the same clothes as usual, casual and casual, which was a bit out of place.

Zhou Jianda also saw Gu Cheng, took his little sister to meet and greet Gu Cheng, Huo Yufei patted him on the shoulder, walked to the front desk with his pocket in his pocket to get the card.

Zhou Jianda came here specially to play with him, and naturally asked him to come and treat him.

On the other side, after introducing Gu Cheng and Zhou Jianjian to each other in a serious manner, Zhou Jianda's nature was exposed. He suddenly stretched his trousers, squatted down, hugged Zhou Jianjian in his arms, and asked her maliciously: "Do you know this brother Gu?" What's the relationship with Howell William?"

Zhou Jianjian stared, and said very maturely: "Just say what you want to say."

Zhou Jianda suppressed a smile, and said in a sad tone: "Brother didn't want to say it at first, but Jian Jian, you have to face the reality, this brother Gu is Huo Weilian's girlfriend. They have a very good relationship, you I'm afraid I won't have the chance to be Howell's bride."

Zhou Jianjian's eyes widened in disbelief, obviously shocked by the news.

But she seemed to be shocked a little differently.

As soon as Huo Yufei came back, Zhou Jianjian grabbed his cuff: "William, do you have a girlfriend? Didn't you say you would wait for me to grow up?"

Huo Yufei couldn't help laughing, and hugged Gu Cheng who was a little confused: "Who said it was a girlfriend, this is my boyfriend."

Zhou Jianjian was suddenly ignited with hope: "Then I can still be your girlfriend in the future?"

Huo Yufei coughed a few times with a smile, and just shook his head when he saw Zhou Jianjian start to cry, so he said, "Anyway, I won't break up with him, when you grow up, if your brother and parents don't agree Objection, I have no objection either."

Zhou Jianjian immediately sensed something was wrong. Although she was not able to distinguish the essential difference between the two concepts of "girlfriend" and "boyfriend", Huo Yufei was clearly telling her, your parents Absolutely will not agree.

Little princess Zhou Jian was teary-eyed by the second major blow in her life, the first when she learned a few years ago that she would never be able to marry her brother Zhou Jianda.

So she looked sadly at Huo Yufei, then at Gu Cheng, turned around and threw herself into Zhou Jianda's arms.

Zhou Jianda is full of ambition, he has always been jealous of his little sister who has liked Huo Yufei for a long time, this time Zhou Jianjian finally gave up.

Gu Cheng: ...Although he eliminated a rival in love with little effort, why couldn't he be happy at all?

Huo Yufei rubbed his nose, feeling helpless for his friend's unreasonable behavior, turned around and pulled Gu Cheng, and told him why the sculpture standing in the hall was not the goddess of luck but Hades representing wealth .

Because this casino is not betting on your good luck.

After a while, the waiting time was over, and they followed the commissioner assigned to them by the casino into the security inspection room, confiscated metal and electronic items on their bodies, including wallets and mobile phones, and then distributed an ID card and a small walkie-talkie to each of them. Have them sign a statement.

Huo Yufei just glanced at it briefly, and wrote down his English name smoothly.

Zhou Jianda also signed the signature quickly, seeing that Gu Cheng really read the content of the statement seriously, he was a little happy: "Don't worry, this kind of statement does not have any legal effect. To your boyfriend, it is basically a piece of paper." waste paper."

Huo Yufei heard it, and smiled, "I found that you like to emphasize 'boyfriend'?"

Zhou Jianda: "Really? Is there? Am I such an ignorant person?"

Gu Cheng smiled blandly, took a few more glances, and signed his name at the bottom.

They followed the commissioner and took the empty elevator directly up to more than twenty floors.

The inner lobby finally looks like a casino, with various slot machines, turntables, and gaming tables. The difference is that the attitude of these players is very calm and casual, not particularly excited, let alone excited because of winning No end, because losing is like losing an exam.

Because that's not what they're really here to play.

No one cares about winning or losing here, these are just leisure.

It's almost time.

They pass directly through these leisure programs and are led into a curved lounge with drawn curtains on one side and a transparent glass partition on the other.

Inside the partition wall is a small meeting room. There are six empty seats on the round table in the meeting room, and a very bulky looking computer is placed in front of each empty seat.But judging from the professional knowledge Gu Cheng has acquired, he knows that the reason why these computers are bulky is to improve the performance as much as possible.Gu Cheng silently estimated that such a computer might cost at least 30 yuan.

So this is to play computer games?

Gu Cheng doesn't think so, right?

They still have to wait for a few minutes because no one has come yet.

Outside the thick curtains is the entire glass curtain wall. Obviously, this is not the first time Huo Yufei has come here, so he directly took Gu Cheng's hand, led him to the window, and opened the curtains to see the night view outside.

The floor they were on was very high, and as soon as they opened the heavy curtain, boundless brilliance came rushing towards them.Huo Yufei lay next to Gu Cheng's ear, pointing to him what kind of buildings are below.Such an intimate appearance made Zhou Jianjian, who was already about to accept the reality, burst into tears again, probably thinking of many sad things at once, and even cried directly without disappointment.Zhou Jianda had no choice but to put his arms around his sister and continue to comfort and promise, and he almost promised to pick off all the stars and moons in the sky.

Huo Yufei glanced at him, but instead hugged Gu Cheng's waist tightly, muttering in his heart, "You can't live without doing your own crimes."

Soon, all the other guests were seated, leaving only one of the six vacancies.Huo Yufei let go of Gu Cheng, sat down on the last vacant chair, looked very relaxed, and nodded to the others.

At the front end of the conference table, a huge screen lit up.

At the same time, the rest hall, which was originally relaxed and casual, filled with "entertainment items", suddenly simultaneously projected the screen of the meeting room on the wall.

Everyone was instantly quiet.

The red square flickered slowly on the screen, getting faster and faster, and finally transformed into a huge "READY?", and then suddenly, the "READY?" disappeared, replaced by a huge "GO!".

The game begins.

A row of six letters appeared on the screen, and each letter had a number under it. The initial "10" only existed for a short dozen seconds, and then began to change rapidly, with some becoming more and some becoming less.

The six people sitting at the round table were all engrossed in the screen.

Huo Yufei was the same, except that his movements were more leisurely than others, and his expression was not so nervous.

Under the letter representing him on the screen, the number "10" has become 8.45, floating every second, and seems to be constantly falling.

Gu Cheng didn't quite understand what game they were playing now.

But obviously, even Zhou Jianjian, who has no idea about boyfriends and girlfriends, seems to understand.

While staring at the screen nervously, she whispered to Zhou Jianda, as if she was very nervous.

Zhou Jianda comforted his younger sister: "You see, Huo Weilian is not in a hurry."

After he finished speaking, he deliberately let Zhou Jianjian see Huo Yufei's expression, it was really relaxed, there was even a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, he didn't look anxious at all.

Zhou Jianjian obviously worshiped William Huowei a little bit blindly. Zhou Jianda's words comforted his little sister, but he himself was not very happy.

She is obviously her biological sister, but she has liked William Huo Weilian more than herself since she was a child. Maybe she laughed at her for not being able to speak Chinese when she was a child.

So unfair!

Gu Cheng pressed his finger on the glass, his expression remained unchanged.

Probably because he was too calm and didn't show curiosity at all, Zhou Jianda was a little dissatisfied, and asked deliberately: "Shall I tell you the rules of the game?"

Gu Cheng heard him and glanced at him.

Still don't like it as always.

But he really needs someone to explain the rules for him, so he nodded politely: "If it's not troublesome."

The other party was so polite, Zhou Jianda himself was too embarrassed to take Joe, so he seriously asked Gu Cheng for science popularization.

"Actually, it's still gambling, that is, the content of the gambling is replaced by a real-time stock index... Do you know about ultra-short-term trading?"

Gu Cheng's lately supplementation has really helped.

Seeing him nodding, Zhou Jianda continued: "The principle is the same, a forecasted stock index has been obtained through a complicated calculation process before the game starts, and the game is to multiply this forecasted number by 10 as the bet of the game. Everyone has only 10 in hand, and the goal is the same, trying to make the average stock index close to the floating range of the bet number. [-] minutes to close, bet on who has the most balance in these [-] minutes."

"Oh, and more." Zhou Jianda added, "If the average stock index is not within the agreed range, then everyone present will lose, and all the surplus after liquidation will be handed over to the casino. In addition, they will have to bear the initial [-] yuan."

"One hundred thousand?" Gu Cheng confirmed, "U.S. dollars."

"Yes, feel a little less?"

Obviously, Gu Cheng, who has not really realized what this game is, silently calculated the exchange rate, and felt that 10 minutes and [-] U.S. dollars were very, very much.

Of course Zhou Jianda didn't know what he was thinking, and explained: "I forgot to say, 10 definitely can't do anything. What's exciting is that increasing leverage depends entirely on personal freedom, starting at [-] times, and there is no stop loss line." , You are responsible for your own profits and losses. That is to say, if you win, of course it is yours, and if you lose, you have to be responsible. There was a friend who lost [-] million in [-] minutes.”

Zhou Jianda speaks English. During this period of compulsory training, Gu Cheng's English listening and speaking skills have improved a lot, but he still didn't connect the term "leverage" with the Chinese concept he learned a few days ago. Together.

But "lost a hundred million" understood.This time, Gu Cheng did not confirm to Zhou Jianda what the currency of [-] million is. Anyway, no matter what it is, this number is already quite large.

So the look at Huo Yufei became a little restless.

Especially the numbers on the screen that are still fluctuating up and down, Gu Cheng's mood also goes up and down.

If Huo Yufei really lost [-] million... What's the use of keeping such a prodigal boyfriend?

Of course, this is just a joke. This kind of game is not affordable for ordinary people, nor is it affordable for ordinary people.

Even if Huo Yufei really lost so much, it has nothing to do with him.Because there is nothing he can do.

Gu Cheng lost his mind for a while, and the game was announced on the screen.

Huo Yufei stretched in his seat and shook hands with several others.

Their relationship in the game is both competition and cooperation. The cooperation keeps the average stock index within the agreed range, and the competition uses various means to increase the number of their own names.

The results will come out soon.

With good luck, the average stock index in the last 10 minutes is just right in the range.Then there is the liquidation of the surplus.The numbers displayed on the screen are different, and the gap is huge. Huo Yufei is only 12.12, which is the second last.

But without multiplying by leverage, that number doesn't mean much.

The final result will not be announced for the time being, because the result of this round has been betted synchronously in the hall outside, and the final win or loss will not be announced until after all are counted.

Gu Cheng was relatively calm, but as soon as Huo Yufei approached him, he felt that he was still a little nervous.

A little confused, I looked at Zhou Jianda who was gloating.

"What did he tell you?"

Gu Cheng said "the story of [-] million".

Huo Yufei couldn't help but glared at Zhou Jianda first, then touched the rabbit's ears: "Who would play so big every day? The money didn't come from the wind."

Gu Cheng seemed to be slightly relieved.

After the break, Zhou Jianda went in to play the second round.

Huo Yufei glanced at the screen and became less interested. He turned and stood by the window overlooking the night in Sydney.

In fact, I just used my brain too much, and I feel a little tired now.

He looked at it for a while, and found that Gu Cheng did not follow, and Zhou Jianjian and Zhou Jianjian were separated by a glass, staring at the large up and down screen intently, as if they could really see something from inside.

Huo Yufei walked over and grabbed Gu Cheng's hand from behind, and then pulled him to the window, contentedly continuing to look down at the night scene.

Gu Cheng looked back at Zhou Jianda again.

Huo Yufei noticed it, and pulled him closer unhappily.

This time Gu Cheng didn't turn his head away, and instead asked him the specific gameplay of the game very seriously.

Huo Yufei looked at him and felt that he seemed very interested, so he explained in detail how to quickly sell short in a short period of time, as well as hedging methods and so on.

Their teaching work came to an end, and Zhou Jianda came out rubbing his temples.The numbers displayed on the screen were far ahead, but in the end their stock indexes deviated too much, and they lost the game directly.

The result of Huo Yufei's round also came out. In the end, he ranked second among the six players. He didn't win a lot but he also made a small profit.As for Zhou Jianda's "losing [-] million" intentionally to scare Gu Cheng, it is of course not so easy to see.

Zhou Jianda didn't care, but Zhou Jianjian who was hugged by him was very excited, and kept looking at Huo Yufei with bright eyes, struggling to "want William Huo to hug".

Said it was because Huo Weilian was obviously better than his brother.

Zhou Jianda, who had already rested, was gearing up for another round to prove his strength.

But Huo Yufei stopped him: "There are only three rounds a day. You will have more opportunities in the future."

Then he turned to look at Gu Cheng: "How about it? Do you want to try it?"
