There is a young man named George Banks in the Sydney Fire Company, Australia.
He is an excellent firefighter. In 1960, while putting out a raging fire in a skyscraper, he rushed into the fire formation alone and fought with the fire dragon for more than two hours. The fire was put out, but George was overworked and his heart suffered consecutive cardiac arrests. The fire company gave him a generous bonus and recommended him to work as an advertising librarian in a medical equipment company.
Managing advertising books is a leisurely job, but after working for more than a month, George felt exhausted and depressed. At first, the doctors smiled patiently and told him that it was because he could not adapt to the new environment and he would soon return to normal. However, one, two, or even eight years passed, and George felt no improvement. At this time, the doctors who examined him began to have headaches at the sight of his figure. The doctors even treated George's repeated requests for examinations as a joke, saying that he had "itchy bones" and "should hold the water dragon to fight the fire dragon every day."
To be honest, George also hated those doctors, but one day, he received a call from the new Dr. Ellison, asking him to rush to the hospital. It turned out that Dr. Ellison found a shadow in one of his brain X-rays. He pointed at the shadow and said to George: "I am very serious. This shadow will expand rapidly. In 5 months, you will Your brain will fail, and then you will become paralyzed and die soon. This is an incurable disease. My advice to you is: in the last 6 months of your life, you should have fun if you have the money. , might as well go out for a trip." Oh my God! It turns out there is a malignant tumor in my brain! George suddenly understood that the end of his life was coming. He immediately ran to the general manager of the company and said loudly to him: "I resign. I want to spend my last six months quietly!" Although the general manager was surprised, he still accepted his resignation report with a smile. Instruct the accountant to settle his due remuneration immediately. After a while, George's salary sheet came out, and he got four hundred yuan.
How many days can these four hundred yuan last? Most of George's usual savings were thrown into the damn hospital. All the money was spent, but in the end he got an unlucky result! George was extremely distressed, lying on the bed and playing the guitar.
What will you do tomorrow? What will you do the day after tomorrow? With these four hundred yuan, where can he travel? George racked his brains and couldn't think of a way.
The next day, George, who had been hungry for two meals in a row, lazily played the guitar again. Suddenly, the doorbell rang harshly. George plucked the six strings of his guitar, jumped out of bed, and followed his slippers to open the door.
The visitor was a pot-bellied gentleman in his fifties, well-dressed. He introduced himself: "My name is Samuel, the chairman of Global Semiconductor Company." George also remembered at this time Get up, he once saw this Mr. Samuel on TV, he is a super rich man.
George asked him to sit down on the sofa, straightened the rumpled sheets, and said to Samuel: "Mr. Chairman, don't you want me to do something? I have resigned. I have to Spend my last six months quietly." Samuel's eyes quickly rolled behind his gold-rimmed glasses, and he nodded solemnly and said, "I already know that from Dr. Ellison. I'm deeply sympathetic to your situation." George picked up his guitar, sat down, and said mockingly: "It seems that Mr. Samuel is not only an entrepreneur, but also a philanthropist." Samuel said quickly. He smiled and said, "Don't take it seriously. I'm just a businessman. To be honest, I came to you for a business." George immediately became alert and asked, "Do you want to trade human organs?" Muir immediately shook his head, took out a credit card, and said: "My business is a bit absurd, but very realistic. I know that you were a brave and extraordinary firefighter, and you have saved women and girls in fires many times. Children. I think you are not afraid of fire, and you are someone who dares to deal with fire. However, this time I am not asking you to save people, but I want to ask you to jump into the crater.
George was shocked and asked: "Jump into the crater, why?" Samuel said calmly: "That volcano is on Waboni Island in the South Pacific. In 21 days, it will erupt again." The local indigenous people were frightened and their days were like a year. The way to calm the Waboni volcano is to let a person jump into the crater, but no one in the Waboni is willing to go through fire and water..." George understood, he nodded and said, "You want me to go Be the great hero who saves the Waboni indigenous people? Samuel shook his head, but then nodded and said: "Objectively speaking, it is indeed the case." But my relationship with them is also a business. There is a treasure mine on Waboni Island that can extract superconductors. If I can provide them with a hero who jumps into the volcano, they will give this mine to me. " George nodded, admiring Samuel's frankness in his heart. At this time, Samuel's eyes moved quickly again. He smiled and said to George: "A man must live like a king, and die like a king. hero! I want to provide you with 500,000 yuan, which will be enough for you to enjoy for 20 days. However, you have to rush to Waboni Island within the specified date, jump into the crater, rescue those who are trapped, and exchange for the superconductor deposit for me. "Samuel's words deeply touched George's despairing heart. When he recalled the eight years since he left the fire company, he felt that he had lived such a useless life. It would be strange not to get sick after such a life. ! He threw down his guitar, stepped forward, shook Samuel's hand, and said, "The superconductor mine is yours, give me your credit card!" The super-rich man pretended to be reluctant and retracted his hand holding the credit card. His eyebrows twitched and he said: "Spend 500,000 yuan to save the indigenous people!" As for that superconductor mine, only God knows how much it is worth! "When Samuel handed over the credit card again, George reached out and grabbed it tightly and said, "Isn't it worth spending all this money to save an entire island of residents? Samuel smiled and said: "Rescuing people is also a matter for the local government, but who would believe the myth of 'jumping into the crater to prevent the volcano from erupting?'" " George nodded firmly and said, "I believe it. This is also the meaning of my last 20 days! "Early the next morning, George went out with his credit card and the guitar. The taxi took him to a luxury shopping mall. Seeing that he was dressed casually and holding the guitar, the security personnel suspected that he was a poor musician who was doing business. , but when he saw the gold-plated credit card in his hand, he immediately raised his blocking hand to his forehead and greeted him respectfully.
