MTL - Blackstone Code-Chapter 5 Sometimes it's easy to make money

　　 "Sir, do you want a newspaper?"

　　 A half-size boy with a dirty cap and a huge leather satchel appeared in front of Lynch.

　　 The boy looked like he was only eleven or twelve years old. He looked at Lynch expectantly, and opened his shoulder bag to reveal the newspaper inside.

　　 These children are all under the management of various "headers", which are not newspaper headlines, but refer to the managers of those newsboys.

　　 They have firmly controlled the mobile newspaper sales market in certain areas by certain relationships or means or other methods. Only their own newsboys can sell newspapers. Others cannot enter, and the newsstands are not among them.

　　 Every morning they would gather outside the newspaper office to load the newspapers with the machine heat on the carts, pull them back to their "base", and then distribute them to these half-old children and drive them to the street.

　　 Every child will have a sales standard, the lowest limit. If it is lower than this limit, they will be beaten or starved. Only after this standard can they enjoy food, but there is no reward.

　　 Welfare homes and some poor families have already taken away the pay for their work. All they have to do is to work as much as possible in exchange for a shelter from the wind and rain, and two meals to sustain their lives.

　　 Some people may think this is hell, but compared to those who live in a more desperate abyss, these children are like in heaven.

　　 Lynch took a one-dollar bill from his pocket and chose two newspapers. The local newspapers are 50 cents each, and the nationally published newspapers are only one dollar.

　　 The newspaper boy continued to thank Lynch for patronizing, and even did not forget to take off his hat and bow. For Lynch, two newspapers for one dollar may be an inevitable part of life, but they are also the salvation that this child wants most every day.

　　 The child was about to leave, but was called back by Lynch.

　　 "Sir, what else can I ask you for?" asked the half-year-old child.

Children like him tend to adapt to this society better than those who have good family conditions and are still going to school. Looking at the still immature but already showing some small faces that are ripened by reality and filled with smiles, Lynch was a little emotional.

　　 This is the worst time, but it is also the best time.

　　 He asked, "Want to make money?"

　　 The child nodded immediately, "I want to dream of Mr., but I do not do anything illegal."

　　Where there is light, there will be darkness, and the brighter the darkness sets off the light, and on the contrary, the light will also make the darkness darker.

　　 Some people use children to sell newspapers, but others use children to commit crimes. These are actually not top-secret rumors. In the process of the booming society of this society, everyone is blinded by wealth.

　　 As long as they can make money, someone will do it, no matter what the job is.

　　 Lynch shook his head, "Do you have ninety-seven points?"

　　 Although the newsboy hesitated a little, he quickly took out 97 cents from his pocket. There was some change in his pocket. When he came out, he arranged the header and put it in everyone's backpack.

　　 The money does not belong to them. After returning, the header will make statistics. If someone loses or loses money, they will be hungry or beaten. This also makes the children very sensitive to money.

Seeing the ninety-seven cents taken out of the child's hand-all coins, Lynch took out another dollar, put one dollar in the child's left hand, and took the ninety-seven from his other hand. point.

"Sir, it's still three minutes short here, I'll find it for you now..." The newspaper boy thought that Lynch wanted to change the change. Urban traffic usually has two tickets, one is within five kilometers, and the other is 25. It's five kilometers away.

　　Whether it is a bus or subway, there is no change. If you give fifty cents, they will only give you two tickets instead of one and change.

　　 This also makes many people prepare some change on their bodies to avoid losses.

　　 Lynch stopped the newsboy's actions and asked again, "Want to make money?"

　　 The newsboy hasn't reacted yet. It is the first time that he can take advantage of it so openly, which makes him a little uneasy. He hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Yes, sir, I want to dream!"

　　 The gradual smile on Lynch’s face made the child feel like seeing the sun just rising, not dazzling, the light is very gentle, but it can tear the darkness and illuminate the entire sky!

　　 "Do you have ninety-seven points?", he asked again.

　　 After a brief astonishment, shock and confusion, the newsboy quickly took out the ninety-seven points in the bag and held it in the palm of his hand.

　　 His face flushed, and he could see that he was excited, nervous, nervous, and a little skeptical. He looked at Lynch with clear eyes and what this guy was going to do in front of him.

　　 Lynch took out another piece of money and put it in the hand of the newsboy, and took away the ninety-seven points in his other hand. He asked with a smile, "Do you want to make money?"

　　 At this time, the newsboy shivered with excitement. He nodded and found all the change that could make up to ninety-seven cents. "It's all here, sir..."

　　 Lynch counted twelve dollars in his hand, and put all the change into his pocket, "It seems that you only have so much."

　　 The newsboy was a little excited. Although he only exchanged fourteen yuan of change from Lynch, his own income had already gained forty-two cents, which was nearly half of one yuan.

　　 You must know that no matter how well he is doing this job, he will not get even a penny, and the head of the newspaper will give all the compensation to the orphanage.

　　 This newsboy is the child who grew up in the orphanage. In the words of the orphanage, they should do something for the orphanage. After all, the orphanage raised them so large and did not ask for anything in return.

　　 Generally speaking, as long as they are over ten years old, they are not adopted ~ www.novelbuddy.com~ The chance of being adopted later is very small. Except for some girls, they are adopted for other reasons and purposes.

　　 However, the orphanage will not take extra care. When the children are over 14 years old, they can refuse to be adopted. At the same time, when they are over 16 years old, they must leave here and enter the society alone to survive.

　　 In other words, boys over ten years old are basically "marginal people" in the orphanage. It is difficult to earn adoption subsidies and donations from these children, so they must go to work.

They have to use their work to compensate for the efforts of the orphanage to raise them over the years. As to whether it is right to do so, it doesn’t matter, because no one cares about this. Everyone’s eyes will only be fixed on themselves. Things that are related to interests.

　　 How to integrate into the society as soon as possible after being expelled from the orphanage and find a place to stay is the most troublesome thing for these children right now.

　　If they can get some money before they leave, it doesn't need much. As long as they can survive a short period of time, they have a chance to survive.

　　 Lynch’s exchange of change made the kid discover a bright road, just like what he asked before-do you want to make money?

　　 and his own answer-I want to dream!

　　 Collect the money, the newspaper boy hesitantly asked, "Sir, will you be here tomorrow?"

　　 Lynch nodded, "I will be here before lunch. If I am not here, I will show up the next day!" He tapped his wrist with his finger, "You still have enough time..."

　　 These children who have already started to come into contact with society immediately understood what Lynch meant. About ten minutes later, a group of newsboys surrounded this side, and people kept coming.
