He spent 1 million to buy a lottery ticket with a 50x multiplier and won the jackpot.
This was within Chen Yu's expectations, but at the same time, it was somewhat unexpected.
This is not surprising and easy to understand, since it was this same set of numbers drawn in his previous life.
But unexpectedly, could there really be no foul play in the lottery? Did the director really just let Chen Yu take the prize money?
The person who spent 100,000 yuan to clear the prize pool in their previous life, only to receive a prize of more than 22 million yuan for winning the first prize, I wonder how they feel?
However, Chen Yu didn't care about any of that. With the world about to end, money was better left to him to spend in order to realize its value.
…………
The next morning, Chen Yu quickly tidied up, ate breakfast, and then drove straight to the provincial capital, where large prizes could only be redeemed at the provincial lottery center.
It's worth mentioning that his spending of 1 million yuan on lottery tickets last night has become a hot topic among the residents.
Upon hearing that the winning numbers had been drawn, many agitated citizens began to curse the lottery director for being so blatant!
Seeing this, Chen Yu quickly slipped away, fearing that everyone would recognize him and vent their anger on him.
After a two-hour journey, Chen Yu arrived at the provincial lottery center according to the navigation.
Chen Yu made no attempt to hide anything, entering the lottery center openly to claim his prize and cooperating fully with reporters' interviews.
The prize redemption process went smoothly. After a series of ticket verifications, Chen Yu received a prize redemption notice.
Next, all you need to do is wait for the lottery center to transfer the prize money. Once the prize money arrives in your account, you can then take the ticket to the designated bank to collect your prize.
However, such a huge bonus cannot be transferred to the account in a short time. According to the staff, the process will take about three working days.
Since he hadn't received the prize money yet, Chen Yu was too lazy to go through the hassle of making a fuss.
So he simply found a hotel in the provincial capital and booked a room. Of course, it was just a regular room; he didn't book a presidential suite like some nouveau riche do.
Although Chen Yu won a huge prize, he has always been a frugal person.
Compared to the expenses we'll need later, this bonus is nothing; we should save where we can!
After checking into his room, Chen Yu drove to a security company called "Tiancheng Defense" in the provincial capital.
He hired eight top bodyguards at a high salary of 1 million a month to provide him with 24-hour close protection.
After all, his net worth has increased, which inevitably attracts the covetousness of some people, so it is very necessary to ensure his personal security.
Although he hasn't received his bonus yet, he had already sold off his entire stake in Eagle Animal Husbandry a few days ago, and he still has several million yuan in his account. He can afford to pay a mere 1 million yuan.
As for the bodyguards being tempted by money? There's no need to worry about that.
Tiancheng Defense is a well-known security company in China, providing security services to many celebrities and wealthy individuals. It's unlikely they would do something so self-destructive.
As for the bodyguards themselves? That shouldn't be Chen Yu's concern. The higher-ups at Tiancheng Defense would understand the stakes much better than Chen Yu himself.
After all, Chen Yu spent 1 million yuan to empty the lottery prize pool, and he did not cover his face at all during the entire prize redemption process, so he will soon become the focus of social attention.
If the bodyguards sent by Tiancheng Defense were to commit such a heinous act of murder for money, then they should give up on doing business in the future.
In fact, Chen Yu could have kept a low profile to avoid these unnecessary troubles, such as wearing an Ultraman mask to receive the award.
In this way, his identity can be well concealed.
But he has his own plans, and he needs to be high-profile, because the higher he is, the better his future plans will be implemented.
Over the next two days, Chen Yu inspected several large supermarket warehouses in the provincial capital to prepare for the future "zero-yuan purchase" program.
In fact, Chen Yu's main target for "zero-yuan purchase" was not the provincial capital, but Walmart's Asian central warehouse, which is more than 1,600 kilometers away from the provincial capital.
If Chen Yu were to acquire the enormous amount of supplies stored in that warehouse, he probably wouldn't be able to use them all even in ten thousand lifetimes.
But Chen Yu did not intend to live alone in the apocalypse; he planned to establish a survivor base in the apocalypse.
The reasons for targeting several large warehouses in the provincial capital are twofold: first, to stockpile the materials needed for the base; and second, to eliminate potential hazards in the future.
He had a deep understanding of the cruelty of the apocalypse, where survivor bases of all sizes were scattered and constantly fighting each other.
Supply warehouses will not be something ordinary people can covet in the future, or rather, those who manage to seize supply warehouses in the apocalypse will certainly not be merciful.
These supply depots were undoubtedly the foundation for the base's rise.
A large-scale supply warehouse signifies a powerful al-Qaeda organization.
The provincial capital is too close to Zhongyang City, where Chen Yu is located.
How can I tolerate someone else snoring beside my bed?
He didn't want to leave his future enemies the material conditions to grow.
…………
That day, Chen Yu was wandering around a science and technology park in the provincial capital, with his bodyguard silently following behind him.
Suddenly his phone rang, and he saw it was a staff member from the lottery center.
Upon answering the phone, the staff informed him that his prize money had been transferred to the designated bank and that Chen Yu should collect it as soon as possible.
A smile appeared on Chen Yu's lips as he strode to his car. A bodyguard quickly opened the car door for him.
Chen Yu got into the car, told the driver the address, and the car slowly started moving towards the prize money collection point.
The remaining six bodyguards rode in two black SUVs, sandwiching Chen Yu's car between them.
Half an hour later, Chen Yu arrived at the bank designated by the lottery center to claim his prize.
The bank staff had been waiting for a long time. When Chen Yu arrived, the bank manager personally came out to greet him with a smile.
The bank manager was taken aback when he saw the eight burly men in suits and sunglasses following behind Chen Yu.
This wasn't the first time he had helped lottery winners claim their prizes, but he had never encountered such a large-scale event as Chen Yu's.
However, he quickly regained his composure. After all, Chen Yu's prize was no ordinary first prize; it was a massive 220 million yuan! It was normal to be cautious.
The bank manager then warmly invited Chen Yu to the VIP room and personally brewed tea for him.
He laughed and said, "Haha, Mr. Chen is truly a promising young man! To spend 1 million on a single lottery ticket, such boldness puts me, Wang, to shame!"
"Hehe, just luck," Chen Yu said with a faint smile.
"Luck is also a kind of strength!" President Wang said with a smile.
"However, Mr. Chen, although you have received a huge bonus, you should still make reasonable plans. Our bank has recently launched a new wealth management product. I wonder if Mr. Chen would be interested?"
President Wang looked at Chen Yu with anticipation.
