Blackstone Code

"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 about eleven-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 each "masthead". This masthead is not a newspaper headline, but refers to the manager of the newsboys.

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

Every morning they will gather outside the newspaper office to load the newspaper with the machine heat on the pallet, pull it back to their "base", and then distribute it 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.

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

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

Lynch took out one yuan of banknotes from his pocket and chose two newspapers. The local newspapers are 50 cents each, and the national newspapers are one yuan.

The newspaper boy keeps thanking Lynch for his patronage, and even does not forget to take off his hat and bow. For Lynch, two newspapers may be an inevitable part of life, but they are also what this child wants most every day. Salvation received.

Child was about to leave, but Lynch called back.

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

Children like him are often more comfortable with this society than those who have good family conditions and are still in school. Looking at that one, it is still very immature but has already been ripened by reality. With a smiling face, Lynch was a little emotional.

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

He asked, "Do you want to make money?"

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

Where there is light, there will be darkness. The brighter the darkness sets off the light, and on the contrary, the light will 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 flourishing society of this society, everyone is blinded by wealth.

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

Lynch shook the head, "Do you have 97 points?"

Although the newsboy hesitated, he quickly took out 97 points from his pocket. There are some change, which Masthead arranged in everyone's backpack when they came out.

The money does not belong to them. After returning home, masthead will make statistics. If someone loses or loses money, they will be hungry at light and beaten at worst. This also makes children very sensitive to money. .

Looking at the 97 points taken out of child's hand-all coins, Lynch took out another yuan, and put another yuan in child's left hand, and took it from his other hand Scored 97 points.

"Sir, here is 30% less, I will find it for you now...", the newsboy thought that Lynch had to change the change, and the city traffic generally had two tickets of ten and 25 minutes, one for five kilometers The inner one is five kilometers away.

No matter if it is a bus or subway, there is no change. If you give 50 points, they will only give you two tickets instead of one and change.

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

Lynch stopped the action of the newsboy, and asked again, "Want to make money?"

The newsboy has not reacted yet, so it can be just and honorable for the first time. Making him a little uneasy, he hesitated for a while before nodded and said, "Yes, sir, I want to dream!"

The gradual smile on Lynchs face made the child seem to see the sun just rising. Not glaring, the light is gentle, but it can tear the darkness and illuminate the entire sky!

"Do you have 97 points?", he asked again.

After a brief astonishment, shock and not knowing what to do, the newsboy quickly took out 97 points from the bag and put it in his palm.

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

Lynch took out another yuan, put it in the hands of the newsboy, and took away 97 points from his other hand. He asked with a faint smile, "Do you want to make money?" "

At this time, the newsboy shivered with excitement. He even found nodded all the change that could make up 97 cents. "It's all here, sir..."

Lynch counted 12 yuan and placed it 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 After redeeming 14 yuan of change from Lynch, his own income has already gained 412 cents, which is nearly half of one yuan.

You must know that no matter how well he does this job, he won't get even a penny. Masthead will give Orphanage all the compensation.

This newsboy is Orphanage's grown-up child. In Orphanage's words, they should do something for Orphanage. After all, Orphanage raised them so much and didn't ask for anything in return.

Generally speaking, as long as they are over ten years old and have not been adopted, the chance of being adopted later is very small. Except for some girls, they are adopted for other reasons and purposes.

However, Orphanage will not take care of it too much. When children are over 14 years old, they can refuse to be adopted. At the same time, after they are over 16 years old, they have to leave here and enter society alone to survive.

In other words, boys over ten years old are basically already "marginal people" who are considered Orphanage. It is difficult to earn adoption subsidies and adoption donations from these children, so they must go jobs.

They have to use their work to compensate for Orphanages efforts to raise them over the years. As for whether its right to do so, it doesnt matter, because no who will care about this, everyones eyes are only Staring at things related to one's vital interests.

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

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 move to exchange change made the child discover a bright road, just like he asked before-do you want to make money?

And his own answer-I want to dream!

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

Lynch nodded, "I will be here before lunch Here, if I'm not here, then 2nd day will appear too!" He tapped his wrist with his finger, "You still have enough time..."

These children who have already begun to contact society suddenly After understanding what Lynch meant, about ten minutes later, a group of newsboys surrounded this side, and people kept coming.
