Ayanokoji in Kexue World

(44) Who will have trouble with money

Gojo Wu and his students went to live in the dormitory provided by Kagao in Kyoto, and I followed the address of the hotel to meet the teachers and students of Didan.This four-star hotel accommodation is also sponsored by the sponsor, which also includes breakfast.Professional level chess players have a better life, but have to be at the top to be able to live off event bonuses and appearance fees.

All the players in our Didan Chess Club have professional standards, but they are unwilling to live by this, because they know very well that this glamorous appearance hides the hardships of the vast majority of chess players-there is no other source of salary , The career is trapped by its own bottleneck, and the pressure of life around it is also great.

Chess players are very talented professions. Maybe they are all boasted since they were young, but once they enter this field, they will find that there are people outside people, and there are days outside the sky.Just acknowledging this fact is hard.

Last year, I met a professional chess player, Akashi Seijuro, the student council president of Luoshan High School.He was only a freshman in high school at the time, and when we played chess, we chatted about the purpose of playing chess.Akashi Seijuro made it clear that chess is just one of his many hobbies, and he is better at shogi than chess.He won't be doing it for a living.

Children who have received excellent family education like this generally make very clear and decisive decisions about their own affairs. They know what they want and make rational judgments about gains and losses. Well, I narrowly began to think that there was only this way to go.

The members and classmates I know are all like this. Even if their family members support them, even if they don’t have to worry about food and drink, they have already seen the end of their career future, so they are just enjoying the benefits brought by their talents.Maybe some people think they are wasting their talents, but I think they can afford it and let it go, and they are free and easy.But most people can't do this, it may be a problem of their own resources, but also a problem of personality.

Akashi said at that time, if I like this career, I can go on with this career.But at that time, I never thought about going on with this career.

When I returned to the hotel, I met Qiandao Baihai, a boy in the first year of high school in the agency.

Qiandao Baihai is one of the three boys in our club. In addition to seeing him in the chess club, he is also often seen in the library.He is a librarian in the first grade of high school. When borrowing books, he is often seen playing rapid chess with another girl in the club, Akagawa Yumeko.

Two people play chess very fast, fighting back and forth, the chess pieces make a "da da" sound, and there will be students watching as they pass by. Even if they don't understand what they are playing, they still think this kind of scenery is very interesting. It takes more than ten minutes to think about the next step. Said it was more refreshing.

I haven't talked much with Qiandao Baihai before, and when I borrow books, I usually talk about it.So, as soon as I got back to the hotel, I saw Qiandao Baihai, and I stopped subconsciously.

"Hello."

Qiandao Baihai raised his head when he was adjusting the wire-controlled earphones. He didn't know that I would suddenly follow him to say hello, so he was taken aback.

"Senior Ayanokōji, you are back. The three of us are in the same room. Shall I take you there?"

"Okay." I don't have a room card, so it's good to have Qiandao to lead the way.

Except for our boys, the girls are in two rooms, and the team leader teacher is in one room.

Before I put down my backpack, Qiandao Baihai suddenly said to me: "When I went out today, I met a student from Luoshan High School named Akashi Seijuro. He seemed to say that he had competed with you last year. He asked us, where did you go? Yes, and said, if you have time after tomorrow's game, you can talk about it."

If I said "chat" before I regained my memory, I would subconsciously think it was a reminiscence.But now after recovering my memory, when I hear "chat", I always wonder if something is going to happen.

"I see."

I agree.

In the past, my personality was relatively reserved, and the two of them didn't care about my sudden interruption of the conversation, and I was not in the mood to speak.After I packed my luggage and took a shower, I received a call from the front desk of the hotel, saying that someone wanted to find me.

After I said thank you, I went down from the elevator.Follow the words of the front desk and go around to the back street of the hotel. There is a black Porsche parked on the side of the street.When I was approaching, I heard the car lock "click", and I opened the door and sat in the back seat. There was gin in front of the car, without his usual attendant vodka.But when he met me before, he didn't bring vodka either.

"Isn't it a face-to-face conversation?" He held the steering wheel with one hand, and held the cigarette between his fingers in the other hand, and started the engine, intending to make a circle around it. "If you don't speak now, what are you thinking?"

It is estimated that he often performs assassination and torture missions. Qin Jiu's voice is cold and solemn, and his expression is expressionless no matter what happens, naturally keeping a certain distance from people.

"cigarette."

Gin stared at me out of the corner of his eye, with impatience in his eyes, and stubbed out the cigarette with his hand.

After I saw the cigarette butt was extinguished, I said, "There are two things."

"First, have you paid attention to Koguri Chutaro's movements recently? After recovering 300 billion, no one has contacted me."

Only a few people in the organization know that the people I brought have supernatural powers, and Gin Jiu is one of these few people.

"I'll investigate this matter, how long will it take to get back to you?"

I have never controlled the whereabouts of Koguri Fusutaro before, and under normal circumstances he is only acting as my vassal in the organization.So this time, Koguri Chongtaro lost contact, and the black organization didn't pay much attention to his movements.But if I say it, Gin is a master of tracking, investigation and ambushes.I don't need to ask for extra words, he will know how to find people.

If you can't find it, you can also collect the corresponding information for me.

I will judge for myself.

"This matter is actually not urgent. I have more important things I want you to do." I paused, observed his expression and said, "Are you rich?"

Qin Jiu glanced at me, and said straightforwardly: "I won't lend you any money."

"Then invest."

"Ayanokōji, do you know that investment is a worse word than borrowing money?" Gin's blue eyes were like a ghostly fire next to a cemetery at the moment, and he stared at me coldly and said, "The investment you mentioned before is nothing but money." No return. The SERN organization invested in researching time machines is still a bottomless pit."

"That's an investment that takes time to brew."

Now Gin looks at my expression as if he regards me as a big liar talking nonsense.He didn't dwell on this topic, and continued: "I will find out the whereabouts of Koguri Chongtaro as soon as possible, and I will tell you when I have news."

He was skipping the topic, but I brought it back and said, "I only have more than 1000 million US dollars in my hand. If you don't want to invest, you can lend me 2000 million US dollars."

Gin was silent for a while, and after parking the car in a block with few people, he turned to me and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"I want to buy some props." I showed Gin the product link that Gojo Satoru sent me.

Gin looked at the descriptions on each product that looked like fantasy game props, and said with a colder expression: "Is this the peripheral of the game?"

"Curse equipment."

"You spent 29 billion yen on game peripherals?" Gin said, regardless of my thoughts, "I have always felt that your brain circuit is different from that of ordinary people. It is even more so now. If you need it, You can make peripherals of the same quality with [-] million yuan, so why put money in other people’s wallets.”

"Have you ever heard of a conjurer?"

"Is this related to my work?" Gin re-ignited the fire and prepared to drive back. "I'll take you back now."

I said slowly: "The richer people are, the more they cherish their lives. The professional conjurers I have come into contact with recently can deal with the curses around these rich people. If they have not done anything wrong, they will naturally not be afraid, but they can If they go to the top, they will naturally know how many evil things they have done that cannot be said outside."

"How many days to pay back?"

"Within a week."

"Do you think everyone is an idiot?"

"When you're in a game, treating people like idiots is the easiest way to get out." I said seriously, "I take them very seriously."

"Okay, so what are you going to do?"

"Didn't I mention IR planning recently?"

IR refers to hotel entertainment that includes casinos.

In Japan, there is no so-called gambling and lottery industry, but welfare undertakings.There will be no places where you will be allowed to exchange cash indoors, only outside.

In the bubble economy era of Japan in the last century, in order to revive the economy, the government loosened the boundaries of gambling. Although it will not directly say gambling, it will be called a comprehensive sightseeing playground, but there will be some pleasant casinos inside, referred to as IR.

After Kansai Osaka built its own comprehensive sightseeing island, and the main consumers are overseas tourists, the island’s income has reached 100 billion U.S. dollars.

At present, tourist cities in Japan, from Hokkaido in the north, Naha in Okinawa in the south, Osaka in Kansai in the west, and Yokohama in Kanagawa in the east, are all very interested in this IR project with quick money.Local private companies are also eager to bid for this project.

"So, what do you think?"

"We have hot politicians and rich people who are greedy for life and fear of death. The rest is an opportunity to meet and a proper and safe operation." I said, "On this Thursday, the 29th Tokyo and Kyoto Magic School The exchange meeting. At the meeting, we are the banker, and others bet on who will win the first place in the exchange meeting. There are only 7 students on the list. In order to ensure that the banker will not lose, the wool comes from the sheep, and we only charge operating fees. Bonuses are distributed according to the results and proportion."

"This is just deducting the operating expenses, and there is no profit." Gin said, "Are you trying to talk about the results of our operation? In the end, if a single person wins, doesn't it feel too obvious? Besides, it is impossible to determine the nature of Whoever wins the first prize will be able to succeed in the bidding plan? If it is a game, how do you set the price? Also, do you think most people will believe the words of the magician?"

"Of course, this is a meeting between politicians and businessmen. You should know that it is difficult for many people to get this kind of opportunity. They also want to show their economic strength in front of politicians. As for I will give you a list of the existence and cognition of spell spirits.

As for the price of the bet, 100 yen per ticket would be nice. "

"Assuming that 10% is used as operating expenses, to earn back 30 billion, at least 300 billion must be invested. Even if everyone is willing to invest 3000 million yen as gambling funds, there must be 1000 gamblers. Thursday is the deadline, 1000 It’s not easy to find someone who is willing to spend 3000 million betting money.”

"It's okay, just do as I say. Besides, we don't need a thousand people, it's too many. It's better not to have more than a hundred."

"The conjurer also agrees? Are we going to make it an underground casino?"

"I'll go get in touch with the corrupt high-level conjurers first."

Gojo Satoru said that change and resistance are needed, which means that the high-level people are still talking.As long as the higher-ups agree, Gojo Satoru agrees, and if he disagrees, he has to agree.

"What if they don't want to expose the identity of the conjurer?"

"Just tell the outside world that it's a supernatural power. What to do, or how to do it."

There are thousands of solutions.

Who can't get along with money?
