Reborn in 2006, it's incredibly awesome!

Since the start of the World Cup, Raymond Lam's life has been like a battle.

During the day, I occasionally attend classes. After school, I spend time with Song Yan or Liu Jiaqi, chat with Zhang Xiaoli on my phone, and go back to Zhang Min's place at night to monitor the store's data. I even get up in the early hours of the morning to watch the game.

It wasn't that he wanted to see it, he just needed to confirm the score.

He remembers his previous life clearly, but who knows if his time travel will have any butterfly effect!

He's changed everything around him, will that affect the World Cup?

But actually, even though I spent the money, I still feel uneasy about it.

The little things he changed in that tiny, run-down place, Huanan County, had absolutely no impact on the score of the World Cup football match.

On June 12, the first upset of the group stage was Australia vs. Japan.

Lin Feng sat in front of the TV, clutching the betting slip in his hand, his palms sweaty.

Although he remembered the result, betting real money felt completely different.

In the second half, Australia scored three goals in a row, making it 3-1.

Lin Feng slammed his hand on the coffee table, startling Zhang Min, who was eating watermelon next to him. She turned to look at him.

"What's wrong, baby?"

Lin Feng stared at the TV, excitedly exclaiming, "We won!"

"How much did you win?" Zhang Min asked.

Lin Feng calculated that he had bet 20,000 on this game, with odds of 3.5, and would win back 70,000.

He said, "I made a net profit of 50,000 yuan."

Zhang Min was so shocked that her mouth dropped open, and watermelon soup dripped from the corner of her mouth without her noticing.

Just by betting on a ball and watching TV, you can make a net profit of 50,000? Zhang Min didn't understand these things; it was completely beyond her comprehension.

But she knew what 50,000 yuan meant. In Huanan County in 2006, 50,000 yuan was enough to buy an apartment outright.

Lin Feng leaned back on the sofa and let out a long sigh.

This is just the beginning.

On June 13th, Ivory Coast played against Semont. Ivory Coast won 3-2, with odds of 3.5, turning 20,000 into 70,000.

On June 17th, Ghana played against the Czech Republic. Ghana won 2-0, with odds of 4, turning 20,000 into 80,000.

All three group stage matches predicted an upset.

Lin Feng calculated that after three group stage matches, he invested 6 yuan and received 22 yuan back, making a net profit of 16 yuan.

But he wasn't in a hurry to be happy, because the real highlight was yet to come.

June 25th, the first match of the knockout stage.

England vs. Portugal. 0-0 after 90 minutes, odds 10.

Lin Feng bet 8 and won back 80.

6月30日，巴西对法国。巴西0比1输，赔率15倍。

8 became 120.

7月9日，决赛。义大利对法国。90分钟内1比1，赔率8倍。

8 became 64.

As expected, all three knockout matches were correct.

Lin Feng spread all the winning tickets out on the table and pressed the calculator several times.

I made 22 from the group stage and 264 million from the knockout stage. After deducting the initial investment of 30, I made a net profit of 256 million.

Originally, I just wanted to earn enough to cover the renovation costs of 100 million yuan, but I never expected that I would accidentally earn 2.5 times that amount.

He stared at the numbers on the calculator, stunned for several seconds.

In his previous life, he spent twenty years working in Beijing and bought a small two-bedroom apartment in Yanjiao, Hebei Province. It wasn't even in Beijing; it was in Hebei. He still had to pay over 5,000 yuan in mortgage payments every month. He only had a little over 700,000 yuan in savings.

Now, 256 million a month.

Although he was prepared, he was still somewhat dazed and excited when the real numbers were presented to him.

He leaned back in his chair and lit a cigarette.

Zhang Min poked her head out from the kitchen: "Have you figured it out?"

"Understood."

"How much do you earn?"

"I got back 286 million. I made a net profit of 256 million."

Zhang Min dropped the shovel she was holding.

What kind of man did she end up with?

After working diligently for over a month, you managed to raise 256 million? Your Taobao store is still making over 100,000 in net profit every month!

Then compare her to that drunkard who beat her up in three seconds... there's no harm in comparison!

There are only two standards to prove whether a man is capable: how much money he earns and how long he can earn it.

Clearly, Lin Feng is a very capable man, and her divorce... wasn't in vain.

Lin Feng had already found out about the prize redemption process.

In 2006, for sports lottery betting, a 20% personal income tax was levied on a single bet prize exceeding 10,000 yuan.

He bought all his tickets separately, but the winnings on each ticket exceeded the tax-free allowance.

Lin Feng took his ID card and the winning ticket and drove directly to the provincial sports lottery center.

The prize redemption hall was small, with two staff members sitting behind the counter, and the words "China Sports Lottery" were posted on the wall.

Lin Feng handed in a stack of tickets.

The staff took them and checked them one by one, their eyes widening with each check.

"These...were all from you?"

"Um."

"More than two and a half million?"

"Um."

The staff member looked up at him, then looked down again to continue checking tickets.

The whole process lasted nearly half an hour.

Finally, the staff printed out a prize redemption voucher and handed it to Lin Feng:

"After deducting 20% ​​personal income tax, the actual amount received is 228.8 million yuan. The bonus will be transferred to your pre-registered bank card within seven working days."

Lin Feng took the voucher and glanced at the number on it: 2288000.

He grinned from ear to ear, nodded in satisfaction, folded the receipt, and put it into his inner pocket.

Stepping out of the sports lottery center, the sun was shining brightly.

He stood on the steps, lit a cigarette, and took out his phone to call Tiger.

"Hey, Feng-ge." Tiger's voice was hoarse from just waking up.

Lin Feng exhaled a puff of smoke: "We've got enough money for the entertainment center. We'll start work next week."

"real?"

"real."

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!" Tiger was so excited on the other end of the phone that he was incoherent. "I'm going to scrape the plaster off the wall right now!"

"Don't remove it, find a renovation company."

"That costs money! Scraping the plaster off the wall is easy, I can do it." Tiger was still reluctant to spend the money.

Lin Feng laughed and said, "Isn't the point of making money to spend it? Professional tasks should be left to professionals. Let's find someone."

After hanging up the phone, he got into his car, started the engine, and drove towards Huanan County.

Next, he will begin his next plan.

Two days later, Lin Feng's bonus arrived in his account.

He walked out of the teaching building. The sun was blazing, and the cement ground on the playground was bleached white by the heat.

Lin Feng looked down at his phone. He had just sent a text message to the renovation company, arranging to have the measurements taken tomorrow.

"Raymond Lam!"

A familiar voice came from the side; it was a strong female voice, almost like someone shouting a slogan.

Lin Feng looked up and saw Liu Chengcheng standing beside the flower bed, wearing her school uniform, walking towards him.

This is Liu Chengcheng, the girl who has always had a crush on him.

Everyone could see her preference for Raymond Lam, so everyone knew she liked him.

But no one dared to say a word; you could say that many people would rather offend Raymond Lam than offend her.

Because she was the top girl at No. 4 Middle School, she was not only ruthless, but her family was also much richer than Wang Yu's.

Lin Feng and Zhang Min went to the best hotel in Huanan County that rainy night. That hotel... was owned by her family.

In her previous life, when Lin Feng was being ganged up on by Wang Yu and his gang, it was she who tipped off Tiger, who then led a group of young thugs armed with weapons into the school.

This led to the story of Raymond Lam's escape.

She is indeed beautiful, with well-defined features and a touch of heroism in her eyes and brows.

She doesn't have the gentle beauty of Liu Jiaqi, nor the soft and cute beauty of Song Yan, but rather a... very cool beauty.

Like the female generals in TV dramas, they look fierce when they're not smiling, but like fools when they do.

But at this moment, her expression didn't resemble that of a female general; it was more like that of someone who had mustered the courage to jump off a cliff.
