"In my view, why don't you two just split the prize? That way neither of you loses!" The bespectacled man suggested.
"Split..." The flathead hesitated after hearing this, gritted his teeth, and said, "All right, then split."
Probably the flathead also felt his claim would not hold up, which was why he accepted the suggestion. As for the pockmarked man, seeing the tab clutched tight in the flathead's hand, he figured that if he refused he might end up with nothing at all, so half was better than nothing, and he nodded in agreement too.
"Good, since you both agree, then split it." The bespectacled man took the can from the pockmarked man's hand and looked at it. "It says here, first prize is one hundred thousand yuan, with twenty percent personal income tax deducted leaving eighty thousand. But since claiming the prize is troublesome, whichever of you goes to claim it will give the other thirty thousand in cash, then go claim it himself. What do you think of that idea?"
"Deal!" The pockmarked man figured some money was better than none, and agreed at once. "You give me thirty thousand, then you go claim the prize!"
