Chapter 214 To be honest, I don’t like football lottery
Time is like sand, slipping silently through your fingers, and more than ten days are gone in a flash.
7 month 2 day,
Hao Qiang took a car to Gangcheng Airport and headed to Germany again.
This time, he went abroad alone.
Just as he was about to enter the airport, a reporter from Phoenix TV happened to see him and approached him for an interview.
Of course, this is not a special garrison in Haoqiang.
Recently, a lot of people went to Germany to watch the World Cup. Reporters from Phoenix TV came to the airport to interview these people who went abroad to watch the game.
"Hello, Mr. Hao. I didn't expect to see you here. Would you be available for an interview?"
"can."
"Are you going to watch the World Cup?"
"I'm here for a business trip. If I have time, I might take the time to watch the game."
"Oh, I heard that the tickets are sold out, especially the finals. Did you buy your tickets in advance, Mr. Hao?"
"Uh, I didn't buy a ticket."
Media reporters thought that Hao Qiang was really going out for a business trip and didn't even prepare tickets.
"Gambling is very popular during this World Cup. Mr. Hao, is you interested in participating? What advice do you have for young people?"
"Honestly, I don't like gambling. I've seen a lot of news about gambling lately. Many people have gambled away their entire fortunes, ultimately leading to the separation of their wives and children and the destruction of their families."
"Yes, small gambling brings joy, but big gambling harms the body."
“Actually, I think the saying ‘a little gambling for pleasure’ is not true.
Big gambling all starts from small gambling. If you can avoid it, don’t play, especially those who have poor self-control and are very concerned about face.
These people are particularly easy to be set up.
Of course, this is just my personal opinion.”
Hao Qiang said seriously that everyone understands the principle, but whether they can do it is another matter.
He has to say this in front of the media.
Otherwise, the media would deliberately exaggerate his words and say that he recommended gambling.
After answering a few questions, Hao Qiang left.
On the plane, most of the passengers were there to watch the World Cup, and quite a few were there to bet on football.
What is different from usual is that during this trip, no matter whether you know each other well or not, as long as the topic of the World Cup comes up, you can start a conversation.
Hao Qiang was sitting in first class and was recognized by the passenger sitting next to him.
"Hello, Mr. Hao, are you also going to watch the game?"
"I'll go on business abroad if I have time, right? How about you?"
"For me, watching the game is secondary. The main thing is, hehe."
"OK, got it."
"Mr. Hao, it's a rare opportunity to meet you. If you buy lottery tickets, I strongly recommend that Deguo and Faguo win. Before the competition starts, I'll bet on these two countries to win. Maybe I can make a profit."
"Thank you. I heard that Italy is not bad either. However, I don't really like buying lottery tickets." Seeing how enthusiastic he was, Hao Qiang just gave him a reminder, which was unlikely to change his mind.
Along the way, I had people to chat with, so the time passed quickly.
one day later,
He arrived in Berlin, checked into the hotel, and adjusted to the time difference.
There is a 7-hour time difference between Berlin and Yuecheng, and Hao Qiang is a little uncomfortable with it.
Flying to Europe is like catching up with jet lag, and it seems like the sun won't set at all.
The next day, local time, July 4th morning.
Hao Qiang met Lukas at Motoadventure, and the two hugged each other as soon as they met.
"Hao, you finally made it. Tonight at 8 o'clock, our national team will play against Italy in the semi-finals.
If our national team wins, your €750 million stake will be wasted," Lukas said enthusiastically. From the round of 32 until now, he has been betting on the national team to win and has made a lot of money.
Of course, he also listened to Hao Qiang's advice, betting on a small profit and making a lot of money.
Overall, he has won more than 20 million euros and is in a very happy mood.
In addition, Lukas spent 500 million euros to buy his national team to win the championship, 300 million euros to buy Italy to win the championship, and 200 million euros to buy France to win the championship.
Currently, these three teams have entered the semi-finals, and as long as these three teams win the championship, Lukas will win money.
当时下注时，各博彩公司给的赔率是1赔8，意小利是1赔11，珐国是1赔11。
Therefore, if the team wins the championship, Lukas will earn the most.
Moreover, he continued to bet on the semi-finals.
"That's not necessarily true. How much did you bet on the semi-finals?" Hao Qiang smiled faintly.
当地时间7月4日晚上8点钟开赛，BJ时间就是7月5日凌晨3点钟。
"Ten million euros."
Lukas smiled lightly, "But the odds are so low in 90 minutes. If I win, I'll only make 850 million euros."
"Okay, I wish you good luck." Hao Qiang shrugged his shoulders. It seemed that there was no way to save him.
The World Cup is held in the country's own country, and everyone is optimistic about the winning country's victory, and most media are promoting it.
You can still bet on the championship team, but at this point in the game, the odds are very low, with the odds of winning the championship being only 3.
France is 3.5, Italy is 4, and Portugal is 5.5.
"Are you interested in playing a game? If you miss this World Cup, you won't have another chance." Lukas patted Hao Qiang's shoulder.
"I only have one million euros in hand, and I plan to buy another game," said Hao Qiang.
Tomorrow evening, July 5th at 8 pm local time, France and Portugal will play the semi-final.
Hao Qiang doesn't want to bet on Italy to win, because that would embarrass Lukas.
This one million euros is the payment the company recently received for goods.
In his impression, France was the runner-up, but he did not remember the specific score of the game.
Hao Qiang wanted to see if he could multiply the one million euros several times, and take a risk to win more money.
"Yeah, that's okay too."
"Please ask the salesperson from the gaming company to come over."
"no problem."
Half an hour later, the business staff from SportWetten came over.
Hao Qiang directly bet 100 million euros on France to win within 90 minutes.
这家博彩公司的赔率则为葡国胜3.30平3.0负2.37，即珐国能在90分钟内胜的话，郝强的100万欧元，变成237万欧元。
When Lukas saw Hao Qiang buying, he also became interested and invested 300 million euros to buy Faguoying.
Hao Qiang deposited the lottery ticket in the bank safe. After having lunch with Lukas, he and Lukas took a bus to Dortmund to watch the semi-final between Germany and Italy.
Berlin is about 420 kilometers away from Dortmund. Germany has well-developed highways, so the drive takes only four hours.
The driver drove a Rolls-Royce Phantom, Hao Qiang and Lukas sat in the back seat, chatting about football.
This was Hao Qiang's first time to see a national highway with no speed limit. The road quality was very good. In addition, he was driving a Rolls-Royce Phantom, so he felt very balanced sitting in it.
Along the way, Hao Qiang curiously observed the traffic on the road. The average speed was about 135 kilometers per hour, and he occasionally saw speeding.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the two arrived at a star-rated hotel in Dortmund and checked in to rest.
Around six o'clock in the afternoon, Hao Qiang and Lukas went to the hotel lobby for dinner and chatted for a while after dinner.
It was a little after seven o'clock when the two of them took a car to the stadium.
Lukas booked a VIP box so he didn't have to squeeze in the regular passage with ordinary spectators.
The boxes are usually located in the middle level of the stands. This stadium has 160 VIP boxes, and the toilets are very convenient.
Hao Qiang and Lukas sat down in the box, had a cup of coffee, and waited for the game to start.
The stadium was packed with fans from all over the world early on, and every corner was filled with cheers.
Fans of England and Italy wore their respective national team jerseys and sang songs to cheer for their teams. Before the game even started, the atmosphere outside the stadium had already reached a small climax.
Hao Qiang was wearing the Deguo team jersey, but deep down, he certainly hoped that Deguo would lose.
If history had changed, he would have suffered a great loss.
It was almost eight o'clock in the evening when players from both teams walked onto the field and the atmosphere reached its peak.
Hao Qiang and Lukas also walked out of the box and sat on the seats outside the box to watch the game.
"Hao, are you excited?"
"Well, that's great, thank you for the invitation." Hao Qiang responded with a laugh, but he didn't know how he would feel if Deguo lost.
Of course, if France wins tomorrow night, Lukas will make back several million euros.
So, Lukas should thank Hao Qiang.
"Hao, you are too polite. The game is about to start." Lukas didn't care. Like the surrounding German fans, he very much hoped that Germany would win the game.
