Chapter 53: Going all in with Nanjing University scholarship money!!!
After Ye Fan redeemed his prize at the sports lottery center last time, the staff enthusiastically recommended that he purchase lottery tickets via mobile phone, telling him that he could place bets anytime, anywhere by downloading the official sports lottery app.
Moreover, the winnings will be directly deposited into the linked bank card, which is both safe and convenient.
After linking his bank card, Ye Fan immediately bet on Argentina to beat Nigeria 3-2, putting all 10 yuan into the bet.
Although the odds weren't high, he didn't bet on the win-loss outcome; instead, he bet on the score, which had higher odds, up to 9 times, and after tax, the total was 72.
I can use the money I earn from the scholarships my parents gave me to buy my dad a nice car.
Old Ye's nearly ten-year-old Nissan Sylphy has creaky doors and the air conditioning is intermittent.
Old Ye has wanted to change cars for a long time, but Comrade Gu Ruoning disagrees!
He often complained: "This car is getting old, it's hard to run..."
But every time the topic of changing cars comes up, Comrade Gu Ruoning objects, saying: "As long as the car can be driven, it's just a means of transportation. It's enough. Do you think you're a tycoon?"
Old Ye could only laugh awkwardly and say: "Oh right, that's enough, that's enough."
As for my mother.
Ye Fan had already planned it out—his mother was usually frugal and only used affordable skincare brands, but every time they passed by a department store counter, her eyes couldn't help but dart towards those high-end skincare products.
Estée Lauder, La Mer, Helena Rubinstein... I'll get them all!
Ye Fan was increasingly pleased with himself. He would get her a yearly VIP membership at a top-tier beauty salon so she could enjoy a spa every week. Let's see if she still complains about wasting money!
As for my older sister... let's get her a car first!
.......
the next morning.
Gu Ruoning went to work as usual, and Ye Linzhang opened his shop as usual.
Ye Fan had just finished breakfast when he received a call from Nanjing University.
The enthusiastic voice of the admissions director came from the other end of the phone:
"Ye Fan, after discussion by the school, we have decided to offer you the highest possible admission criteria!"
The conditions are excellent. As long as you go to Nanjing University, you will receive a one-time scholarship of 30 yuan, plus all fees will be waived, you can choose any major, and you can pursue a combined bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree. You will also have the opportunity to exchange with top universities abroad and live in an independent apartment.
The benefits are so numerous they're countless.
Moreover, as long as Ye Fan verbally agrees now, the 30 yuan scholarship will be credited to his account immediately!
Ye Fan was originally going to Nanjing University; all the previous preparations were just to gain more benefits!
When Nanjing University called again, he immediately agreed.
A few minutes later.

As a result, Ye Fan had another 30 yuan in his account, and he could go all in again!
Of course, the ten million or so prizes that were redeemed earlier were handled in a separate new account.
Ye Fan simply used all 30 to bet on Argentina to beat Nigeria 3-2, putting all the prize money he had earned through his studies into the World Cup!
"All in!" With a soft click, the 30 scholarship instantly became the number on the betting slip.
By this time tomorrow night, this money will turn into a huge return of 288 million after tax.
..........
Ye Fan knew very well that his real "final battle" was the upcoming semi-final between Brazil and Germany.
of course.
He wants to use this opportunity to obtain start-up capital for his business.
But he never thought of becoming the richest man by betting on sports – not to mention that the risk control mechanism of domestic sports lottery simply does not allow such exaggerated odds, more importantly, such a way of accumulating wealth is neither realistic nor sustainable.
But right now, he already has enough leverage.
He planned to put up 800 million yuan as principal and 1000 times the odds. When this number came to mind, the 80 billion yuan pre-tax prize, after deducting 20% tax, would still amount to 64 billion yuan—more than ten times the total wealth he had accumulated over the years in his previous life.
"That's enough..." Ye Fan murmured to himself, gazing out the window.
This sum of money far exceeds the initial capital needed to start a business. It can not only provide his family with the highest quality of life, but also support him in building a true business empire.
.........
Tonight is the time to see the results.
The usually quiet senior high school class group chat suddenly exploded like a bomb had been dropped on it, with message notifications popping up one after another.
"Guys! Less than two hours left!"
"I'm so nervous about my buddies..."
"Help! I want to watch but I'm too scared to!"
"I heard the server is going to crash, everyone be prepared to refresh!"
The group chat was buzzing with activity, everyone was preparing to check their results at midnight.
Gu Ruoning, who should have been sleeping at this time, ran to Ye Fan's bedroom and said:
"Son, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and open the website to check your grades!"
Ye Fan was having a pleasant conversation with Liu Ruyan when his mother's words completely stunned him:
"Mom, we already know, is there still a need to investigate?"
Gu Ruoning said irritably:
"Check! Why wouldn't we check? If we hadn't known the results beforehand, your dad and I would have been on tenterhooks. Now that we don't have to worry, it's a relief. The ritual of checking the scores is essential, you understand?"
Then Gu Ruoning added:
"They only said you were the top scorer, not your exact score. How could you know your score without checking?"
Helpless, Ye Fan obediently opened the Fujian Province education system to check his scores.
Gu Ruoning and Ye Linzhang simply plopped down on Ye Fan's bed, glued to their phones, scrolling through them non-stop, looking like two middle-aged internet addicts.
Ye Fan glanced at the class group chat and almost burst out laughing—Wang Hongtao was performing his traditional skill again.
If Li Yiran is still the most flamboyant person in the class...
Wang Hongtao was the most pretentious person in the class.
His grades are usually pretty good, but not good enough to get into Tsinghua or Peking University or a top 985 university. But right now, he's bragging about it to the heavens in his class.
"Estimated score: 665, my performance was just average."
"Sigh, I was careless on the last big question in the combined science exam, otherwise I could have gotten another 10 points higher."
He estimated his score to be 665, which would put him in the top three of his class. Getting into a top 985 university would be a piece of cake, and he might even get into Tsinghua or Peking University. How could he not brag about it?
Ye Fan hates two types of people the most: those who show off, and those who don't allow themselves to show off. (Haha, just kidding!)
Due to various factors, Ye Fan and Wang Hongtao's relationship was not good to begin with, but they just didn't openly fight each other.
Ye Fan watched him show off in the group chat, but didn't say anything.
He was all too familiar with this kind of drama.
In his past life memories, Wang Hongtao was the same way, boasting wildly after the college entrance examination.
His boast of scoring 665 points and his inexplicable confidence that Tsinghua and Peking Universities were within reach left the whole class stunned.
When the results were announced, the reality of a score of 580 was like a resounding slap in the face—twenty points lower than the usual mock exam score, but in the end, he got into a decent 211 university.
