In 2017, a classmate from elementary school suddenly bought a Land Rover. I was quite curious about how he suddenly had money, and he said, do you remember I was once beaten by my parents for being scammed when I was young...
Back in 2010, that was my elementary school classmate. When he was young, he was deceived by someone, and there was some activity at that time where if you participated, you would receive some gift cards. So this guy went to that event. It should have been 2011, anyway, the person there seemed like a big scammer, and he was talking about how this thing would definitely have great prospects in the future, and so on. I remember it very clearly because we had just finished the New Year, and we should have had some pocket money. This guy believed the big brother's words unconditionally. I remember when they bought that thing, it was like they were given something like a password book. If I remember correctly, it was roughly like that. And at that time, if I remember correctly, the price he bought it for was five yuan for a big cake, and this big brother had 500 yuan of pocket money, so he spent all of it on this... The result was straightforward: when his parents asked him for the pocket money, he told them this situation. In the end, the result was inevitably a beating.
The reason is that everyone thought he was scammed because my dad works in finance. So at that time, I asked him, and he told me, your classmate was scammed. Back then, 100 big cakes were 3 dollars, which was about 25 yuan at that time. Later, I told him about this, and that classmate was also very speechless and sad. However, I was quite happy because I attended that lecture with him and got a 30qb gift card, and he also had one, and I said I wouldn’t let him spend money for nothing, I would recharge a diamond for him.
Time flew by quickly to 2017. We all took the college entrance examination in 2017, and at that time my classmate moved... When he was moving, he found the password book, but I think the most magical thing in this world is that on that password book, there was actually a contact method for a merchant who recycled big cakes. (Actually, I don't know if this is true or false, or if he was lying to me.) Anyway, he remembered this incident and used his key through a series of channels and found out that he really had 100 big cakes. That day he couldn't sleep all night.
The reason is that he didn't know whether to tell his parents about this incident. I remember it was around December when I received his call because I was the only one among our classmates who attended a relatively good law school. He mainly wanted to consult me about legal and risk-related issues. In the end, the transaction price he settled at that time was very memorable, it should be 17,689u. And 100 of them seemed to be close to 1,800,000u at that time, which was equivalent to more than 1,000 yuan in RMB. This is one of the cases I know of where someone got rich.
In the end, he still told his parents about this incident. He told me that his parents were ready to tear up his book, but this guy fought hard to protect it. In the end, it seemed that for the first time in their lives, his parents sincerely apologized to him. Of course, he now has more than 1,000 yuan... Does anyone know why? So this is someone I know who got rich by luck in this field.
