Financial freedom starts with the daily intelligence system!

The first piece of intelligence I saw was worth 1200 million.

Today was a great start.

As for Jiang Xinguo's affair with the village women's federation director...

Jiang Tao just watched the drama unfold on his own and didn't bother with it.

This has absolutely nothing to do with him.

Jiang Tao focused his mind on the three words "halfway up the mountain" in the intelligence report.

Soon, an image of a towering mountain appeared on his retina.

"It's Xilin Mountain..."

Jiang Tao, a native of Jiangjiazhuang,

I recognized the mountain the moment I saw its image.

Xilin Mountain is about 5000 meters away from Jiangjiazhuang.

When Jiang Tao was a child, he would go to Xilin Mountain with his friends every year to pick wild jujubes.

Jiang Tao's hometown, Pingxian County, is a typical mountainous area, where mountains are the least of its kind.

Therefore, Xilin Mountain is only somewhat famous in the Jiangjiazhuang area.

But compared to the whole of Ping County, it's nothing.

It is even less famous than the famous mountains and rivers across the country.

Therefore, Xilin Mountain remains an undeveloped and barren mountain to this day.

"This is a bit of a problem. The intelligence only indicates that it is the mountain, but it does not provide the specific coordinates of the meteorite."

"It's over 1200 million! It's worth the trip back."

"Just think of it as a business trip."

"And bring along the employees that Jiang Xinguo helped me recruit as well."

After reading the first piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao quickly made a decision.

Finding 1200 million yuan on your way back to your hometown—anyone would be happy to do that!

"Continue, next one."

With a thought, Jiang Tao refreshed the page for the next piece of intelligence.

Today's Intelligence 02:
You had contact with Qiu Lizhen yesterday and obtained relevant information—

After checking his lottery results and finding out that the ticket he sold to you had won, lottery player Liu Qiang felt extremely resentful.

He will arrive at the store at 8:45 a.m. today armed with a knife to demand the winning lottery ticket from Qiu Lizhen and may commit violent acts.

……

"Liu Qiang? Came to the door with a knife?"

Upon seeing the second piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao felt a chill run down his spine.

He had considered that the man who resold the lottery ticket to him would feel remorseful and extremely resentful after learning that he had won.

But I never expected the other person to have such an extreme personality!

They came to my door armed with a knife!

To engage in extreme behavior!

I noticed these two descriptions highlighted in bold red in the intelligence report.

Jiang Tao also felt sorry for Qiu Lizhen, the older sister he had only known for a short time but who was extremely enthusiastic towards him.

This matter is, in fact, intricately related to me.

Pretending to be unaware and staying out of it—Jiang Tao really couldn't do that.

"What should we do? Tell Qiu Lizhen this news and tell her to get as far away from us as possible?"

"But in that case, you can only hide for a short time. You can't hide from Liu Qiang forever."

"Such behavior of retreating only solves the problem temporarily; it does not address the root cause."

"If we don't deal with Liu Qiang, he's like a bomb planted next to Qiu Lizhen that could explode at any moment."

"Call the police? That person didn't do anything. We can't exactly tell the police it was just our guess and prediction, can we?"

Upon seeing the second piece of information that was crucial to Qiu Lizhen's life, Jiang Tao's usually calm mind began to race.

Gently remove Xu Li's arm from her stomach.

Jiang Tao rolled off the bed and onto the floor, picked up his underwear and pajamas from the sofa, put them on, and tiptoed out of the bedroom.

He went out onto the balcony, took out cigarettes and a lighter, lit a cigarette, and started puffing away.

"Let's go to Qiu Lizhen's shop tomorrow. If he really dares to make a move, I'm absolutely confident I can stop him."

Unable to think of any good solutions in a short time, Jiang Tao was too lazy to waste any more brain cells.

In the end, he decided to go to Qiu Lizhen's shop in person the next morning.

With his current physique of over 160cm, dealing with an ordinary person like Liu Qiang would be a piece of cake.

Having made up his mind, Jiang Tao continued to look at the third intelligence report of the day.

Today's Intelligence 03:
You had contact with Lu Haihong, Xiang Huabin's assistant, yesterday and obtained relevant information—

Lu Haihong had been using fake, low-aged wines to replace high-aged wines in the wine cellar for a long time, with the amount involved exceeding 500 million yuan!

A timely reminder can help Xiang Huabin minimize his losses and gain his favor.

[Note]: The six bottles of Moutai you drank yesterday were all 10-year-old Moutai.

……

"This Assistant Lu has some brains, but he just doesn't use them in the right way!"

Upon seeing the third piece of intelligence today, Jiang Tao was both amused and exasperated.

Just the few bottles of 50-year-old vintage Maotai and 10-year-old Maotai I drank yesterday had a price difference of dozens of times!
The total amount involved in the case is over 500 million yuan.

How many fine wines has Assistant Lu taken from Lao Xiang over the years?!

"Old Xiang, Old Xiang, it's a good thing you met me, otherwise your assistant would have ripped you off so much!"

Jiang Tao smiled and shook his head, deciding to remind Lao Xiang of the 600 million yuan cash check he had given him yesterday.

"Continue, next one."

With a thought, Jiang Tao continued to refresh the last piece of intelligence for the day.

Today's Intelligence 04:
You had contact with Xiang Yiwei yesterday and obtained relevant information—

Xiang Yiwei's mother, Qu Junzhu, will suffer a sudden heart attack at Xiangshan Wofo Temple at 2 pm today.

Furthermore, the nanny accompanying them forgot to bring any nitroglycerin tablets!
Bringing quick-acting heart medicine to the rescue will earn you the gratitude of Qu Yunzhu's entire family and a generous gift.

……

"Xiang Yiwei's mother, who is also Xiang's wife..."

Jiang Tao wasn't particularly happy when he saw the latest update.

But he certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity to improve his relationship with the big shot.

"I need to go to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha again tomorrow afternoon."

After refreshing the four intelligence reports for the day and finishing a cigarette, Jiang Tao turned around and went back to his bedroom, setting an alarm for 7 a.m. on his phone.

He still has to go to Qiu Lizhen's place tomorrow morning to "rescue the damsel in distress."

Of course, I can no longer sleep until I naturally wake up as I used to.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning.

When Jiang Tao woke up, his mother and Xu Li were serving breakfast on the table.

My dad is sitting on the sofa, engrossed in a book called "A Complete Guide to Restaurant Management".

"Second brother, Lily said you were trending again yesterday, saying you're really good at golf?"

Jiang Wen saw her son come out of his room, put down the book in her hand, and looked at her son with a happy expression.

Jiang Tao chuckled and said, "It's so-so, just playing around. They're just too bad."

"My son is getting more and more amazing, he's practically a big star! There were over 100,000 viewers in his live stream yesterday, that's incredible!"

“Son, the biggest internet celebrity in Ping County only has over 50 followers. You already have more than ten times that number!”

"You've really made your parents proud! You're so successful!"

"Yesterday, everyone in our village's WeChat group was posting screenshots of your live stream, praising you." Tian Xiaomei put down her breakfast bowl and looked at her son with a beaming smile, her face radiating pride.

Tian Xiaomei felt like she was in a dream after all the experiences she had during the period following the Lunar New Year.

Every night before going to sleep, she would repeatedly confirm with Jiang Wen whether she was dreaming.

She was terrified that one day she would wake up and be back to the poor and toil-filled life she had lived before.

"Haha, really? I didn't see it. I find it too troublesome, so I muted the group messages a long time ago."

Jiang Tao sat down at the dining table while smiling and talking.

Xu Li sat down next to Jiang Tao, looked at him, and said with a smile:

"Honey, Xinguo sent out several hundred yuan in red envelopes in the group last night."

They say our village has produced such a big star, let's all have some fun together.

"Really? Brother Xinguo has gone to great lengths."

Jiang Tao was slightly taken aback after hearing Xu Li's words.

He quickly realized that Jiang Xinguo was using this opportunity to get closer to him.

Although Jiang Xinguo was just a minor village head, he still held considerable prestige in the village.

The villagers all took the initiative to get close to him.

Xu Li reached out her hand to Jiang Tao and smiled:

“Since Brother Xinguo has already posted, we feel bad if we don’t say anything.”

My parents, my youngest child, and I all received several, each costing 1000 yuan. Remember to reimburse us today.

"Haha, okay, okay, I'll reimburse you for this. I'll send you a red envelope later."

When the topic of WeChat groups in his hometown came up, Jiang Tao changed the subject and said:
"By the way, Lily, Mom and Dad, I'm going back to my hometown this afternoon for a business trip to meet a client. I should be back in a day or two at most."

"Okay, then be careful on the road."

Xu Li nodded obediently, without asking who the client was or what they wanted.

"You need to pay attention to your diet even when you're alone. Don't skip meals or overeat, it's bad for your stomach."

"Go on, go on, work is important."

Jiang Tao's parents didn't say much, only reminding him to drive carefully and remember to eat on time.

In the eyes of parents, their children are still children even when they are seventy or eighty years old.

……

Jiang Tao's family was having a cozy breakfast.

Having not slept all night, Liu Qiang, with bloodshot eyes, had been in the breakfast shop opposite Qiu Lizhen's lottery shop for more than an hour.

He arrived at the breakfast shop at 6 a.m.

We ordered two steamers of steamed buns and a bowl of tofu pudding, and sat there for more than an hour.

The breakfast shop owner and his wife noticed that Liu Qiang's face was gloomy and he kept muttering something about being possessed, as if he were cursed.

They didn't dare to provoke them, lest they cause any unnecessary trouble.

Anyway, the store wasn't doing that much business, and there were plenty of empty seats.

"I actually won! I actually won! How could I have sold that ticket?!"

"Even if God gave me a chance, I wouldn't be able to use it!"

"A second prize is worth over 20 yuan, so my ticket must have won at least a million!"

"A million! That's a million!"

"With this money, I can retire immediately and enjoy my retirement life!"

“This money originally belonged to me, and I can’t just let it go like this, I absolutely cannot let it go like this.”

"Maybe this stroke of luck has already used up all the luck I'll have for the next few decades."

“Even if we’re talking about compensation, that guy should at least give me half back, right? Without me, he wouldn’t have won a single penny.”

"No, half is still too little, only 50! That ticket won the lottery entirely because of me, I should at least get 7%!"

"Yes, 7% is my limit. I can only give him 3% at most!"

"He should be satisfied if he spends more than 1 yuan and wins more than 30 yuan."

"One should not be too greedy!"

Liu Qiang stared at the winning numbers displayed on his phone screen, muttering to himself.

Although he had already sold the ticket to Jiang Tao and the two parties had signed a transfer agreement, Liu Qiang continued to keep an eye on the lottery results.

To be honest, when the lottery was drawn last night, he was actually hoping he wouldn't win, he really hoped he wouldn't win!
After all, he had already sold that ticket to Jiang Tao.

The smaller the prize money Jiang Tao won, the more it proved how wise his decision to sell that lottery ticket was, and the more psychologically balanced he felt.

Conversely, the larger the amount Jiang Tao won, the more unbalanced he felt psychologically.

When he saw that the lottery ticket he had sold had won multiple second prizes, as well as multiple third and fourth prizes, he was shocked.

Liu Qiang was dumbfounded.

Last night, he refreshed the lottery results page on his phone thousands of times, hoping he was seeing things.

But the result was always the same.

The lottery ticket that I sold at a low price actually won.

And this isn't just any small prize; it's a grand prize worth millions!

You can imagine how furious Liu Qiang must have been.

If it were a reasonable person, even if they were extremely upset, they would have no choice but to accept the outcome.

The agreement is in black and white, and the money has already been paid.

That lottery ticket had absolutely nothing to do with him anymore.

But clearly Liu Qiang is not the kind of person who understands reason.

I glanced at the time on my phone; it was already 7:48 AM.

After paying for breakfast, Liu Qiang turned around and went to a small supermarket next door. He went in, bought a fruit knife, and put it in his pocket.

7:58 am.

Wearing a bohemian-style yellow dress and carrying an LV bag on her right shoulder, Qiu Lizhen appeared at the lottery shop entrance on time.

Although she owns more than ten properties and has savings of twenty to thirty million.

Even in a top-tier city like Beijing, they have already achieved financial freedom.

But Qiu Lizhen remains as serious and responsible as ever when it comes to running her lottery shop.

Some people enjoy tasting all kinds of delicious food, some like to travel all over the world, some like music, and some like running.

Qiu Lizhen's hobbies are different from most others.

Influenced by her father since childhood, she has a special fondness for lottery numbers.

Her current wealth is also inextricably linked to the lottery.

More than 30 years ago, her father was just an ordinary worker in a state-owned enterprise in Beijing.

One lottery purchase completely changed the fate of their family.

Qiu Lizhen's father won a grand prize of over 500 million yuan with just 2 yuan, and received 421 million yuan after tax!
In Beijing today, 400 million yuan is nothing; it doesn't even meet the threshold for becoming a tycoon.

But in Beijing more than 30 years ago, 400 million was a huge sum of money.

Unlike other lottery winners who, after receiving huge sums of money, indulged in extravagant spending and blindly upgraded their consumption, ultimately ending up with nothing but a mess, Qiu Lizhen's father was different.

After receiving the huge prize money, he continued as before.

He didn't even quit his job at the state-owned enterprise, which paid only a little over 600 yuan a month, and worked there until retirement.

Back then, the price of housing in Chaoyang District was only around 3000 yuan per square meter, and there were no purchase restrictions.

Qiu Lizhen's father also made the right decision that enabled their family to achieve upward social mobility: buying a house!
He spent over 400 million yuan to buy more than a dozen houses.

Over the decades, the house that was originally worth more than 4 million yuan is now valued at more than 100 million yuan.

Except for the two years when housing prices were at their highest, Qiu Lizhen sold several properties and cashed out tens of millions.

She still has 11 sets in her hand right now.

Nowadays, Qiu Lizhen can earn millions of dollars a year just by collecting rent.

She certainly doesn't rely on the lottery shop to make money; it's just a hobby of hers. (End of Chapter)
