This is a long-ago movie in which two wealthy old men make a bet with a check, and the story begins.
Our protagonist Leng Brother, as an American, came to London by mistake in a shipwreck, and he came to the embassy for help, but Leng Brother, who had no long belongings, could only think of his own way because he did not have any guarantees.
Just as Brother Leng was walking on the street, he saw a pear thrown to the ground by a baby in front of him, and Brother Leng, who had not eaten after the shipwreck, wanted to reach out and eat it, but because his face reached out several times and shrank back, it seems that his previous life made him instinctively resist doing so, or he was not hungry.
At this time, the shouts of the two old men sounded on the balcony above their heads, and it turned out that the two wanted to invite Brother Leng to go indoors for a gathering, and Brother Leng gladly agreed, and finally looked at the pears on the ground and walked to the house.
Brother Leng came to the two old men, and after the conversation between the two old men, he understood the story of what happened to Brother Leng, who was straight, smart, unfamiliar, and penniless! This was exactly the person they were looking for, the bet between the two decided to be on this person, the old man looked at each other and smiled and clapped, and Brother Leng saw that he was going to leave the table in anger.
Unexpectedly, the two old men stopped him, gave him a letter, and told him that there was money in it but to open it at two o'clock in the afternoon, and Brother Leng wanted to return the letter to the old man after hearing it, he needed money, but he would not ask for handouts from others, but a job to support himself.
But under the persuasion of the two old men, Brother Leng left with a letter in doubt, and when he passed a restaurant, he saw the food inside, and he couldn't walk hungry, he saw the envelope in his hand, hoping that it could afford to pay for his own meal.
He sat in his seat and ate all the food he had ordered, looked up at the clock, and found that it was not yet time, so he ordered the same again, and the waiter heard it and walked to the boss, questioning whether he could afford it?
When Brother Leng finished eating again, the waiter came forward to ask for money for the meal, and Brother Leng looked at the clock again, and there was still a little time, so he said, Wait a little longer and pay.
The boss on the side stepped forward, replacing the waiter to ask for the meal, Leng Brother was helpless, hoping that there would be no problem in opening the envelope two minutes earlier, when he opened the envelope, he found that it was a check for a million pounds.
The people around them were surprised to see the amount of the check and opened their mouths, knowing that the check of this amount not only represents wealth, but also represents status, because this kind of check is the largest amount in London and there are only two.
Brother Leng stared at the check is also stunned, he handed the check to the boss, the boss took the check and immediately asked the people around him to verify the authenticity, when he learned that it was true, he went forward to return the check to Brother Leng, and took the excuse of not being able to find the meal fee, and said that it was the honor of the restaurant that Brother Leng ate here.
When Brother Leng walked out of the restaurant, the people around him nodded to him to show kindness, the boss kept praising him, Brother Leng was also surprised by the effect of this check, when he walked out of the restaurant immediately rushed to the residence of the two old men, but the housekeeper said that the host had traveled abroad and would not be able to return until a month later.
Brother Leng sat on the steps and drew another page from the letter, which wrote that the two old men had made a bet on Brother Leng that the check would be lent to Brother Leng for a month, and that it would be returned to them in its entirety when it expired, so that they could hold a position within their powers.
At this time, a gust of wind blew away Brother Leng's check, Brother Leng chased all the way, his clothes were torn on the way, and he met a flyer on the road, Brother Leng accidentally knocked the leaflet out of his hand, and for a while the leaflet and the check were mixed together and flew in the air.
After Brother Leng was busy looking for it, he finally saw the check, and then Brother Leng pounced on it, and the check finally returned to his hand after a bumpy ride, but when he saw his worn clothes, Brother Leng walked into the clothing store next to him, and the people in the store saw Brother Leng's dress, and they didn't think he could afford to pay, and they wanted to drive Brother Leng out and go through the small door.
However, when Brother Leng showed the check, the waiter actually cried with the check, he may have never seen such a large amount of check and inferiority, when the boss came to know about this, the whole store staff came forward to serve him, and free.
When the boss knew that he did not have a place to live, he immediately contacted the contact to arrange for him, and when the hotel staff knew that the check owner Leng Brother was coming, they immediately vacated the best room for him.
When Brother Leng came to the hotel, there was some misunderstanding, it turned out that the hotel staff mistakenly regarded the big man of the circus as Brother Leng, and when Brother Leng knew about it, he came forward and invited him to stay in the hotel together.
Soon after, the news of the arrival of an American with a million pounds in London appeared in various newspapers, and the clothing store sent many sets of clothes to Leng Ge, making Leng Ge look more like an upper-class person.
When Brother Leng came to the embassy again, the person in charge knew that Brother Leng had no cash, and immediately prepared a hundred pounds of paper money for him and introduced him to the people of high society.
And when Brother Leng came to the high society party, he was arranged to meet in front of celebrities, and finally invited by Xiaomei to participate in the anniversary celebration of an orphanage, and at this celebration, a charity auction was held, under the difference between yin and yang, Brother Leng auctioned the next vase for five thousand pounds, which made the big man on the side anxious, and also made Brother Leng helpless.
After that, Brother Leng received invitations from various charities, which made him sleep hard, when Da Zhuang prepared his luggage to run away with Brother Leng, Brother Leng looked at the scenery outside and decided not to leave, he decided to tell Xiaomei the truth of everything.
At the party, Brother Leng and Xiaomei came out alone to talk, and Xiaomei immediately told Brother Leng about her love, and Brother Leng excitedly agreed to tell the truth.
However, you never know the truth and the accident which comes first, when Brother Leng just wanted to say it, a relative of Brother Leng had something to find Brother Leng, it was really poor in the downtown area, no one asked, rich in the mountains have distant relatives, so the truth of Brother Leng did not have time to confess to Xiaomei.
The reason for the matter is that this relative developed a gold mine, but now there is no money to continue to maintain its operation, he wants to borrow The name of Brother Leng to buy the stock of the gold mine, and the gold mine will definitely come back to life through brother Leng's current reputation.
However, Brother Leng, who had always fantasized about marrying Xiaomei, did not hear what his relatives said, and inexplicably agreed to him, and the relatives gladly left.
The next day, relatives came to the trading floor and bought some stocks in the name of Brother Leng, and the results were remarkable, and a large number of people bought shares in the gold mine because of Brother Leng's fame.
On the other hand, Brother Leng confessed the truth to Xiaomei, but Of course Xiaomei did not believe it, and when Brother Leng said that Xiaomei finally wanted to believe it, the relative came to Brother Leng.
Because a large number of people buy gold mine stocks, Leng Brother made a lot of money in one day, Xiaomei thought that the truth that Leng Brother said was a test for himself, so he left the table in anger, and Leng Brother also helplessly chased after it, but was turned away.
On the hotel side, a nobleman who was forced to change rooms because of the arrival of Brother Leng, because he was dissatisfied with this matter, decided to make a joke with Brother Leng, so he instructed a waiter to hide Brother Leng's check, and then passed on the news that Brother Leng did not have a check to others.
The newspaper heard the news and came to inquire about the truth, but of course Brother Leng could not find the check, and then the newspaper began to have all kinds of negative news about Brother Leng.
Then the local upper-class people listed Brother Leng as a blacklist, Xiaomei wanted to see Brother Leng after hearing it, but unfortunately was trapped in the room by her family, and many people who had previously courted Brother Leng came forward to ask for money, Brother Leng was upset, and finally planned to go to relatives to take away the shares of the gold mine.
When Leng Brother arrived at the trading floor, he knew that due to his negative news, a large number of people sold the gold mine stocks, and the stocks he held were no longer valuable, and Leng Brother, who knew this, went to the crowd to explain, and the result was thrown out by people!
When Brother Leng returned to the hotel in frustration, the hall was full of people looking for Brother Leng, it turned out that they were all small shareholders, wanting to find Brother Leng to find an explanation, Brother Leng knew and planned to go forward and explain it to them, hoping that they would not sell the stocks in their hands, because Brother Leng believed that the gold mine had gold.
When Brother Leng persuaded among the people, the nobleman who hid the check of Brother Leng returned, he found that things were big, he just wanted to make a joke with Brother Leng, when the nobleman went upstairs to find that the people in the clothing store were taking all of Brother Leng's clothes, the nobleman felt very excessive, immediately went forward to stop it, but it was useless, so he immediately found the waiter who cooperated with him at the time to go back to the room to get the check.
When the nobleman brought the check to Brother Leng's eyes, Brother Leng forgave him and showed the check, and the questioning and insults of the crowd turned into blessings and appreciations in an instant, and finally people rushed to the trading hall and began to buy stocks.
At this time, several people went up against the current, it turned out that Xiaomei rushed over, she walked to The two embraced each other in front of Brother Leng, and her clothes were also taken back by the clothing store staff who did not go far, and the hotel also prepared good wine for him, and the contrast between before and after was so great.
A month later, the two old men who had bet on the original bet took the check to congratulate Brother Leng on completing his promise, and Brother Leng said his question, he asked what the two were betting on?
An old man said that he thought that the check would have everything without exchanging it, and that the check was omnipotent, and then another old man said that it would be useless not to exchange the check, so the two made this bet.
However, at this time, Brother Leng looked at Xiaomei next to him and said that when Xiaomei knew that I was rich, she left me, and when she learned that I was poor, she returned to my side, and the two old men began to discuss the win or loss of this bet after listening.
Brother Leng and Xiaomei took the opportunity to leave here, sat on the carriage, and the big man in front of the car drove the two people out of here, and since then the two have lived a happy life without shame and shame.
Xiaobian believes that people are always so greedy and unsatisfied in life, and finally lost themselves on the road of pursuing fame and profit, and when they were young, they also thought about whether they would become ugly when they grew up, but sometimes life always made people involuntarily.
