Chapter 68 It’s still a shame
Doesn't it mean that another sixty or seventy thousand US dollars was wasted?
Everyone sighed in their hearts: Luck is coming, and there is really no way to stop it!
Can't you? Delivered to your door yourself.
"Brother Lin, you can go buy a lottery ticket. There is a scratch-off shop in front of you." Qiao Yufan encouraged.
Lin Yuan was surprised: "There are also scratch-off games in the United States?"
Henry smiled immediately.
He explained to Lin Yuan that not only do scratch-off games exist in the United States, but scratch-off games in the United States are much crazier than in China. Annual sales are almost twenty times that of China.
The population is less than one-third that of China, but 20 times more than China. I can only describe it in two words: awesome.
Scratch-offs are a popular form of entertainment due to their immediacy, simplicity and variety. Scratch-off tickets have a wide market across the world, with their popularity varying across regions.
"Then you can give it a try." Lin Yuan also wanted to know whether the treasure hunter would respond to scratch-off games.
If there were, Lin Yuan would no longer need to carry money with him when he went out. He could just go to a scratch-off store to withdraw money.
So, a group of them went to a nearby scratch-off shop, and there were quite a lot of people inside. This thing is actually gambling, and it can be addictive.
Because Qiao Yufan and others drank the soup along with Lin Yuan, they also planned to try their luck after coming in.
As soon as Lin Yuan's treasure hunting device was opened, the entire store was covered.
Unfortunately, the treasure hunt was completely silent. It seems that the treasure hunt has no cheating effect on scratch-off games.
Lin Yuan thought to himself that the secret path was reasonable. The scratch-off itself has little value and is not considered a treasure. The treasure hunting instrument is looking for treasures, so naturally there is no response.
As soon as they came, Lin Yuan followed suit and bought ten of them to try his luck.
Qiao Yufan and others all scratched their heads, and some won, but they all lost. After they finished scraping, they all looked at Lin Yuan. In their hearts, Lin Yuan had better luck than them, so he should be able to leave this store with a smile, right?
"If the whole army is wiped out, it's up to Brother Lin." Huo Qingtong said helplessly.
In fact, I didn't worry much about it. I didn't lose much. I just had a playful mentality and didn't have any expectations.
Lin Yuan started to blow.
"Missed."
"Mode."
"Keep going."
"It's still a shame."
Li Qiushui glared at Qiao Yufan: "Shut your stinky mouth!"
Okay, Qiao Yufan shut up.
But the situation did not get better. Out of ten scratch tickets, I only won one for $10. With this winning rate, the dog would shake his head just looking at it, let alone Lin Yuan?
"Brother, please don't play this thing in the future. It's really a trap." Lin Yuan told the audience in the live broadcast room.
The guys in the live broadcast room didn't care about Lin Yuan's feelings. They were all overjoyed and even showed off their "records" in front of their faces.
It is rare to see Lin Yuan deflated, of course he is happy!
I used to watch this guy pick up things and make a fortune every day. It was so uncomfortable! Now, feel comfortable.
"No! You have to go out and find the leaks to regain your confidence." Lin Yuan couldn't help but say.
Qiao Yufan took out his mobile phone and told everyone: "Let's go here. It's very close to here. It takes more than ten minutes to walk. It's a small flea market."
have to! Very well prepared!
Everyone has no objection to going treasure hunting. They came out this time not just for fun.
Flea market is another name for second-hand street stall market in Western countries such as Europe and the United States. It is composed of street stalls, and the market size varies.
Most of the products sold in this market are second-hand goods, people's redundant items, and unused but outdated clothing. They range from small decorations on clothes to complete old cars, video recorders, televisions, and washing machines. Everything is available. The price is low, only 10% to 30% of the price of new goods. Lin Yuan and the others followed the navigation and came to the so-called flea market.
This market, how can I say it?
It's a bit messy, or very messy.
Although there are management staff, they basically don't care. For example, the woman standing at the entrance didn't even notice that there was a person lying there at the entrance, scrolling through her mobile phone as if no one was watching.
"Are you still going in?" Huo Qingtong asked.
I was lying there alone, and I was really afraid that I would get caught if I got close.
This kind of person, you can tell at a glance that he is a cheater. Don't think that only the Chinese can do this. Foreigners are more difficult to deal with than Chinese people.
"Is there no other entrance?" Li Qiushui asked Qiao Yufan.
What the hell are you looking for? The security is so bad.
"I don't know! It's my first time here." Qiao Yufan was also a little embarrassed. He found this place online.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Some "seniors" have been here and said this is a good place and highly recommended it online.
"I'll go over first, you guys wait a moment." Paul said.
He is a market manager himself and has experience in dealing with some gangsters, so he naturally stood up.
Paul went over first, and quickly got along with the flea market management staff, becoming fraternal, and then someone came to deal with it and remove the guy lying at the entrance.
"Let's have coffee together when we have time." Paul smiled with his "companion".
After saying that, he waved to Lin Yuan and the others, indicating that they could pass.
I have to say that with Paul and Henry around, sometimes a lot of trouble can be avoided. This is also an important reason why Lin Yuan is willing to take them to drink soup.
After entering, Lin Yuan and the others saw a row of furs.
The audience in the live broadcast room was not calm anymore.
Isn’t it said that Europe and the United States attach great importance to the protection of wild animals? Is it appropriate to buy fur like this in broad daylight?
"This is mink skin." Henry said to Lin Yuan.
Mink fur is a fine fur with fine skin, soft and strong, rich plush and glossy color. It is mainly produced in America and Europe.
The fur clothing made from it is elegant and luxurious. It is an ideal fur product and is known as the "King of Furs". Therefore, it has become a symbol of people's wealth.
Abroad, it is called "soft gold". Mink fur has three major characteristics: "the fur is warmer when blown by the wind, the fur disappears when the snow falls, and the fur does not get wet when it rains".
Paul shook his head: "Fake, really not that cheap."
Mink fur is one of the largest-selling mink furs, and the price varies greatly. The lowest price starts from 2,500 US dollars, and the top quality ones can reach more than 10,000 US dollars.
Of course, what we are talking about here is clothes made of mink skin, not a piece of mink skin.
And at this stall in front of you, you can get one for just over ten or twenty dollars. Is it possible?
"I have gone hunting with my friends before. A mink costs 50 US dollars, and the good ones cost more." Paul added.
In modern times, North American minks were originally "fur animals" that were hunted extensively like silver foxes and beavers. By the end of the 19th century, wild minks were almost endangered.
"Maybe it's farmed!" Lin Yuan guessed.
Now, tens of millions of minks are killed every year. If it were not farmed, how many of them would be killed in the wild?
