Counterflow 92: Ditching the School Flower at the Start and Building a Trillion Empire

In his previous life, Lin Yifeng was tricked by his first love into going abroad, missing the period of rapid development in his homeland.

He finally managed to amass a fortune of hundreds of...

Chapter 127 I'm fishing!

Ye Yuqing had beautiful eyes. When she heard Lin Yifeng say that he wanted to lend money to the young man, she looked at Lin Yifeng with suspicion again.

Today, she has looked at Lin Yifeng with a questioning gaze countless times.

She didn't quite understand the reasons before.

But this time, she wasn't quite sure what Lin Yifeng was thinking.

Even someone as "naive" as her knew that lending money to this young man was basically a waste of money, but why would Lin Yifeng lend him money?

Moreover, Lin Yifeng told her that what was happening was a setup, a scheme orchestrated by several people to frame this young man.

"How about lending me 1000?"

The young man looked at Lin Yifeng with a happy expression. He immediately offered 1,000 yuan. Anyone who didn't know better would think this was 2025, not 1992.

Asking to borrow 1000 right off the bat?

They really dare to ask for such a huge sum of money.

In 1992, 1,000 yuan could have been enough for someone with good speaking skills or good looks to get married.

Although getting married in the 1990s required the "three turns and one sound" (a traditional Chinese wedding custom), in reality, many people got married without any dowry or bride price. People were poor at that time, and if a young couple really liked each other, they could live together without a dowry or bride price, just by spending a few thousand yuan on a banquet.

This young man, on a green train, asked a stranger, Lin Yifeng, for 1,000 yuan.

He really dares to ask for it.

He was genuinely confident that he could win.

"Lending you 1000 is no problem."

"But how will you return it to me?"

As Lin Yifeng spoke, he took out a wad of cash from his backpack. As soon as he took out the cash, the people around him looked at him with strange eyes.

Because of this stack of money...

It's very thick!

It was so thick that everyone's eyes were envious, so thick that everyone on site was breathing a little rapidly.

Ten thousand yuan household.

In 1992, this was nothing special. In that era of rampant wealth expansion, there were many households with 100,000 or even 1 million yuan in assets.

But that's what they say. In reality, how many households in the entire country can have ten thousand yuan?

Moreover, having 10,000 yuan and having 10,000 yuan in cash are not the same thing. On this green train, Lin Yifeng directly pulled out 10,000 yuan in cash, which really shocked the people around him.

He casually pulled out 10,000 yuan!

Wouldn't that mean Lin Yifeng's body...?

Many people had some filthy thoughts, and some with ill intentions kept glancing back and forth between Lin Yifeng and Ye Yuqing, as if they were thinking about something.

"......"

The ten thousand yuan also stunned the young man who wanted to borrow the money. He looked at the ten thousand yuan in cash in Lin Yifeng's hand and couldn't help but swallow.

After thinking for a few seconds, the young man said, "I'll pay you back once I win the money."

"And you'll get half of the winnings!"

"That same excuse again..." Lin Yifeng sighed. He glanced at the crowd, noting down those with shifty eyes or excited expressions, and said with a smile:

"If we win money, everyone will be happy and joyful."

"But what if you can't win money?"

“1,000 yuan is no small amount. If you lose the money and then deny it as soon as you get off the train, wouldn’t I be devastated?”

"I can't lose..."

"Don't say that. What if? Just what if?"

Seeing that the young man had nothing to offer, Lin Yifeng put the 10,000 yuan back into his backpack: "You have nothing, no collateral, and you're just saying I'm sure I'll win. I can't lend you that."

"Since ancient times, no one has ever borrowed money like this. Who borrows money without mortgaging something?"

"Don't you all agree?"

Since ancient times, it has been common to borrow money by pawning or mortgaging. Lin Yifeng's words resonated with those around him.

"That's right, words alone are not enough. You can't just say you've won!"

"The young man is right. What if you lose? How will you pay back the money? This isn't just 10 or 100 yuan, it's 1000 yuan!"

"1000 yuan? Good heavens, I can't even earn 1000 yuan in a year!"

"When you lend money, you always need to give someone something as collateral. Nobody knows anyone on the train. What if you just run away?"

No one spoke up for the young man who was borrowing money. His face turned bright red, and he was about to retort when the middle-aged man opposite him, who was holding the hidden card, spoke up: "Don't borrow money anymore. Just run away. Who knows, my hand might be better than yours, and you might lose and not be able to pay back the money."

"Bullshit! I'm such a big shot, you think you can just let me run away?"

"What the hell are you talking about, you're playing with your cards hidden!"

The young man was somewhat angry.

What kind of joke is this? He has a triple Jack, do you expect him to be afraid of a hidden card?

"I...."

The young gambler, caught up in his emotions, had no collateral to offer. He took a deep breath, stood up, and retrieved his urea bag from above.

The urea bag is very large and difficult to remove.

The young man struggled to remove the urea bag, opened it, and rummaged around inside until he found a jewelry box.

He took out the box and handed it to Lin Yifeng: "This is my wife's dowry. Look, it's a top-quality jade bracelet. It's definitely worth 1,000 yuan as collateral."

Lin Yifeng took it and glanced at it. He opened the jewelry box, took out the jade bracelet, looked at it briefly, and then put it away.

"No problem, 1000 as collateral is absolutely no problem."

After saying that, Lin Yifeng put the jewelry box into his backpack, then took out 1,000 yuan from the backpack and handed it to the young man.
