Johnny woke up at around four in the morning.
It wasn't because he was able to sleep well after being beaten, it was simply because the pain woke him up.
He had just finished surgery, and after the anesthetic wore off, the severe pain from the broken bone that could not be ignored began to attack him.
He woke up from his coma with a scream, and his daughter came over immediately and comforted him, "It's all over, you are safe!"
Johnny's consciousness gradually began to gather. He endured the severe pain and looked at his daughter. Visible beads of sweat began to appear on his pale face. "I'm in so much pain, find a doctor, I need them!"
The fat daughter did not refuse and quickly called the doctor over. The doctor simply gave a simple examination and said, "The operation was successful. It is definitely painful. You have more than a dozen broken or fractured bones in your body. This kind of pain is inevitable."
Johnny couldn't stand it anymore. He groaned in pain and begged, "Is there any painkiller? I can't stand it. I feel like I'm going to die!"
The doctor nodded and said, "Yes, it is very effective, but painkillers are not covered by medical insurance."
His meaning was clear: if you wanted to relieve the pain, you had to spend money.
Johnny, who was about to blurt out the words, stopped the urge to get an injection immediately. He gritted his teeth and asked, "How much is it per time?"
The doctor smiled. "There are two specifications. One lasts longer, but the analgesic effect is not very good. For severe pain..." He smiled kindly. "For patients with fractures like you, the effect is only to make you go from 'howling' to 'enduring with your mouth closed'."
"This painkiller is not too expensive, only fifty cents."
"There is also a special medicine that can make you feel no pain at all, but it is expensive and the effect lasts only four to six hours."
"Each injection costs three bucks."
"I don't quite agree with your use of painkillers. The peak pain of a fracture is actually only within these 48 hours. After two days, you will feel that the pain has been significantly reduced to a tolerable level."
Johnny couldn't take it anymore. "Give me the best, quick, I can't stand it!"
The doctor did not refuse. Selling non-medical insurance special medicines was also one of his jobs. He asked the nurse to get the medicine and gave Johnny an injection in front of them.
A magical thing happened. About two minutes later, Johnny, who had been screaming and groaning, suddenly became quiet.
"I don't seem to be in pain anymore!"
The doctor also smiled. "That's the value of three dollars, Mr. Johnny." He paused and said, "If you need anything, feel free to contact me. I'll be here before nine o'clock in the morning."
After the doctor left, Johnny looked at his fat daughter, "Where's the apprentice?"
"He was called away by the police."
"What did the police say?"
The fat daughter was a little embarrassed, "I don't know..."
While they were talking, a police officer stood at the door and knocked. Seeing that Johnny had also woken up and after getting his permission, he entered the ward.
"Mr. Johnny, the case has been solved. The apprentice in your store and some people he knew committed this crime. I just came to tell you."
"We will arrest the suspect after dawn tomorrow. This case is not too complicated, so we will withdraw the police officers. You can ask your family to go to the headquarters tomorrow and they will tell you the details of the case."
"You'd better get a lawyer."
Johnny pressed the issue, "Are you sure my apprentice was involved?"
The police officer nodded and said, "Unfortunately, that is true."
Johnny was a little absent-minded, and after a while, he reacted, "Thank you for informing me so late."
The fat daughter thought Johnny would curse at her, but to her surprise, Johnny didn't curse at her, he just lay there quietly.
She didn't know how or what to say, so she could only sit on the edge of the bed.
In a daze, the day dawned...
Lance stretched and thought it was more comfortable to sleep on the plank bed.
After a simple wash and wash, most of the friends got up. They talked a lot about yesterday, including his plan.
Cash flow is a very important thing in this era, or in any era, but how to accumulate wealth quickly has always been a problem that many people cannot solve in their lifetime.
But this problem is actually very easy to solve for Lance.
There are ways to make less money, and there are ways to make more money. Alberto's financial company is so popular, and the federal government's current indulgence in small private financial contracts made him decide to get the first sum of money from there first.
But he would not be as stupid as Alberto or others. The attitude of the federal government cannot remain unchanged. Social order and stability are what every ruling group pursues.
Perhaps the emergence of financial companies during this stage can play a certain role in comforting the middle and lower classes, but it is not a good industry after all, and the interest rates are too high.
This is actually an opportunity. When everyone is still thinking that one hundred yuan can become hundreds of yuan in a year, as long as you lower your expectations a little, you can gain a lot of wealth.
In the morning, he took Alvin to look for a suitable place in the city, not too remote but not too close to the city centre.
It was too remote for people to see it, and the location was too good for him to afford the expensive rent. In the end, he chose a house in a not-so-bustling neighbourhood between the port area and the bay area.
A two-story house on the roadside, which was previously an electrical appliance store. The store was cleared out due to poor management. The two floors together are about 300 square meters, and the monthly rent is 18 yuan.
Not only is the rent not expensive, it can even be said to be a bit cheap.
For people of this era, this is a golden age full of opportunities, even the rent is so cheap!
Then he asked Alvin to go back and find some friends, and go to the flea market to buy some furniture together. Soon a consulting company was born.
The friends were all standing in the lobby on the first floor. Lance looked at them and began to explain the next work to them.
"We only do one thing at the moment, financial consulting."
"To put it simply, if someone is in urgent need of money and doesn't have it, our job is to solve their problem."
"I divide this job into two parts. The first part is the demand for less than 100 yuan, which we will do ourselves."
"For the second part, the amounts over a hundred dollars, several hundred dollars, several thousand dollars, I will be responsible for them."
"So actually, you are only responsible for loans of less than one hundred dollars."
Erwin raised his hand and Lance looked at him, "Do we have that much money?"
Lance pointed at him and said, "That's a good question, but it's not something you need to worry about. I can solve it, but I also need to tell you how to do it."
"Of all the profits, I'll take 50 percent, you'll get 20 percent, and the remaining 30 percent will be put in a joint account."
"In addition to these, I will give you 20 yuan per month, and the two girls 30 yuan, who will be responsible for answering the phone at the front desk, etc. I will give you an extra half month's salary every quarter as a bonus. Is there a problem?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
This income is already higher than their previous income, and Lance said last night that the company would take care of their meals.
If they live frugally, without any commission, they can save at least ten to fifteen dollars a month, which is already a huge income and no one will be dissatisfied.
Lance nodded in satisfaction. "Then, let me tell you how to create wealth and value. We are different from those traditional financial companies. We must take the initiative to explore the market instead of waiting for some people to come into the company by chance..."
In the afternoon, he drove to LEZ company. As soon as he entered the door, someone greeted him. Although he had not been "working" here for a long time, everyone liked him very much.
Fordis, who was playing billiards with someone, also put down his cue and came over, giving him a hug. "Are you in trouble?"
"No, I'm here to discuss business with Mr. Coty."
Fordis eyes lit up. "So your company has already started business?"
"That's about it. I'm waiting for the registration call from the Business Services Bureau."
As the two walked inside, Fordyce asked, "Can you tell me what you do?"
"Small amount of loans, and helping you to attract large amount of business."
Fordyce whistled. "It's a good job, but the competitiveness will be beyond your expectations."
"First you need money, and second you need this." He gestured with a pistol, "The people in LOS City, or the entire federation, are not law-abiding citizens!"
Lance understood this very well, "You have to introduce a seller to me."
"Leave it to me!"
Fordyce knocked on the door, and Alberto's voice came from inside, "Come in."
"He's been in a bad mood these past two days, so I won't go in. We'll talk when you come out later." He poked his head inside and said, "Boss, Lance is here."
Alberto was stunned for a moment, then motioned for him to open the door, "Why don't you let him in?"
Fordis made room at the gate and then turned and left.
Even though he had a very good relationship with Lance and Alberto, that didn't mean he should stay here.
As soon as he saw Lance, without waiting for him to say hello, Alberto said, "I've been in trouble these two days, maybe you can help me..."
