What's the difference between "come around" and "come up"

As in, "I'll hit you up if anything comes up" or "I'll hit you up if anything comes around"? Is "come around" even viable in this case? Thank you in advance

The two given sentences are theoretically grammatical, but the logic is questionable. " means I'll ask you for money if the situation is advantageous for me. But usually you'll ask for money if the situation is disadvantageous for you.

  • The two given sentences are theoretically grammatical, but the logic is questionable.
  • " means I'll ask you for money if the situation is advantageous for me.
  • But usually you'll ask for money if the situation is disadvantageous for you.
  • " means I'll ask you for money if an interesting situation develops.
  • But, again, you'll usually ask for money if the situation is uninteresting, and, consequently, disadvantageous for you.
