Too Bad I Take Things Seriously
Chapter 689 - 255: Litigation Costs One Hundred Million! _2
This was about whether he could become fabulously rich overnight.
Moreover, the money for the lawsuit was also a massive expense.
He patted his wallet and said very generously, "Xiao Qin, if you don’t have enough money to sue them, I still have several hundred thousand here."
This money was the gift money collected from the group of lawyers in Jin City during his last wedding. He usually didn’t have many expenses, so he had been saving it.
Seeing such generosity from Old Zhang, Qin Mu tactfully refused. "Your money... it’s not enough."
The number of people being sued this time far exceeded previous instances.
What he lacked wasn’t several hundred thousand. It was tens of millions! Yes, tens of millions.
Currently, the number of people ripe for suing was at least eight or nine thousand. Based on the average litigation cost, each person would require ten thousand yuan. He would also need to advance litigation expenses of approximately eighty to ninety million yuan, which was almost one hundred million in total. And his savings were only just over thirty million yuan. Even selling his house wouldn’t possibly cover the costs.
As for the nursing home... its liquid funds couldn’t possibly reach one hundred million either, and the upper management wouldn’t be willing to spend one hundred million on a lawsuit.
So, he had to figure it out himself. In the past two days, he had thought it over, and it seemed there was only one way left: to fleece the lottery. Only this method... could bring in money so quickly.
「Six in the evening.」
In the legal advisor’s office, Qin Mu stretched lazily and shut down his computer.
After a busy day, he had organized the abusive comments, criminal facts, IP addresses, and other information for thousands of people. Counting yesterday’s progress, he had finished organizing data for six thousand people. A few thousand people were left. He would work another long day tomorrow to finish organizing this data, and then he would go to the court to file the lawsuits.
But... he needed to advance nearly one hundred million yuan in litigation fees. If the advance litigation fees were insufficient, the court would reject the lawsuit. After all... the court also needed money to operate. Dispatching summonses across the country and coordinating everything—it all required funds.
"Guess I should make a trip to the lottery store," Qin Mu sighed helplessly in the end.
He had thought he was quite wealthy. But... now it seemed he was still poor. Tens of millions in savings were simply not enough when facing trouble. After this incident, he must figure out a way to save more money.
「Half an hour later.」
He arrived at a lottery store near the nursing home. This lottery store didn’t do very well, as the area was mostly populated by elderly people, few of whom bought lottery tickets. Therefore, there was no need to queue.
"Welcome, which kind would you like to buy... HOLY SHIT! Qin Mu!"
Upon entering, the owner of the lottery store looked up, appearing as if he had seen a ghost.
Qin Mu: "..."
Seeing the owner’s expression, he suddenly felt a bit speechless. This situation... he had anticipated it long ago. Since the last incident at the lottery store, many lottery store owners in Jin City recognized him—the kind that recognized him instantly.
"COUGH, COUGH, Mr. Qin, please come in, come in, have a seat." The owner of this store quickly regained his composure, immediately put on a smile, invited him into the store, and actively poured him a cup of tea from the water dispenser. He then cautiously asked, "May I know what brings Mr. Qin to our lottery store this time?"
As the owner of a lottery store, he was very aware of the legends Qin Mu had left behind in Jin City. To other industries, Qin Mu might be a harbinger of doom. But to their lottery industry... Qin Mu was a legendary lucky star! There were even rumors that Qin Mu might be a relative of some lottery mogul and was an insider. Because... the lottery tickets he had bought before had an extremely high winning rate! The two lottery store owners who had followed Qin Mu’s lead last time were now financially free, having bought several properties in Jin City.
So, as long as he didn’t offend Qin Mu, he had a chance to be like those "predecessors" and ride the favorable current. And Qin Mu *was* that current. And now, he was standing right in front of him, in his store!
"Print me five thousand tickets," Qin Mu said, observing the owner’s overreaction with a frown.
This time, he didn’t plan to go to several lottery stores but chose to handle it in one shop. Since he was already planning to fleece them, running to several shops or just one would make no difference in effect. The lottery center, if they checked carefully, could easily find out all the purchased tickets were his.
"Buying lottery tickets? I’ll print them for you now... wait, you want five thousand tickets?" The owner initially grinned, looking somewhat excited. But after a few seconds, he suddenly processed it, his eyes widening in disbelief.
Five thousand tickets! He had run this lottery store for many years and had never encountered such an insanely extravagant customer. Printing five thousand tickets in one go! Even at the minimum of two yuan each, it would cost ten thousand yuan! 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
"Five thousand tickets, I want them for all kinds of lotteries." Qin Mu nodded and continued, "For each type of lottery, just have the machine pick the numbers randomly."
He now had three thousand luck points on his side. His luck was off the charts. Even with randomly selected numbers, there was a high probability of winning.
"What? Random selection?" The lottery store owner swallowed, his face full of shock. Buying five thousand lottery tickets was already outrageous enough. Now... Qin Mu was telling him that these five thousand tickets, covering all types of lotteries, all needed to be randomly generated by the machine!
"COUGH, COUGH, Mr. Qin, are you sure you don’t want to reconsider? You can pick your own numbers," he said, looking at Qin Mu and offering a tactful reminder.
On one hand, he truly had Qin Mu’s best interests at heart.
