Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Chapter 1,247 A Gamble

Compared with world-class sports such as basketball and football, there are actually not many spectators in the hurdle race. In addition to the domestic audiences who come to support the players because there are players from their own countries in this competition, those who really love hurdle sports buy tickets to watch.

Only a very small part of the competition.

This is just like a few years later, everyone always said that Bolt saved men's sprinting. Before Bolt, although men's sprinting was also a popular sport, it was only a popular sport, and the vast majority of the audience still supported domestic athletes.

Audiences, not many viewers buy tickets because of their hobbies.

But after Bolt appeared, he continued to break men's sprint records. Many people are very curious about how the fastest man on earth took off on the track.

As a result, a large number of curious spectators poured into the auditorium to watch the game, and this sport that was originally unranked suddenly became a popular event that many people paid attention to.

The same is true for the hurdle race that is about to begin. If Liu Xiang had not appeared, only a very small number of people in this sport in China would buy tickets to support it because there are domestic players competing.

But with Liu Xiang and the fact that he maintained the chance of becoming a native of his country by maintaining this sport, men's hurdles became instantly popular in the country. Liu Xiang also became one of the top domestic sports stars. And

Before winning this championship, many Chinese people didn't even know who Liu Xiang was.

"Do you think a new world record will be set in this game?" Kurk looked at Yang Dongxu with a smile.

This time, the two people were not sitting in the stands. In the front row of the stands, Zhou Ya, her children, and Ran Feifei were sitting. Each woman and the child had a small red flag on their face.

He was dancing and cheering like an enthusiastic fan.

It's hard to imagine that before entering the venue, these women were still discussing cosmetics, and they probably didn't even know what game they were about to watch. But now they are all like crazy fans.

"I think so." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

"How about we make a bet on who will set the world record?" A man with a beard and a loose sports shirt next to Kurk said.

The reason why he did not accompany his wife and children in the front row of the audience, but sat in the VIP box at the competition venue. It was because Kirk suddenly invited him to the VIP box and said that he had a friend whom he wanted to introduce to him.

But the strange thing is that after entering the box, Kurt did not introduce the two people to each other. Instead, he talked about other things. Yang Dongxu and the bearded man just nodded and said hello without any communication. They never thought that he would be there at this time.

Came out.

"What are you betting on?" Yang Dongxu looked sideways at the man.

Although there was only a nod and no communication, and even Kurk did not introduce the two parties, he knew this man Yang Dongxu. Not only did he know the other party, the other party was probably also very familiar with him.

Because that incident not long ago shocked the world media, and was quickly forgotten by the world media, the initiator of the case of the US FBI shooting of a Chinese businessman was the guy next to him who looked very friendly with a smile on his face.

As a victim afterwards, although Yang Dongxu had to stop hastily after receiving some compensation for some reasons. But for those who want to harm him, even if they can't do anything about him for a while, they still need to know who the person is who harmed him, right?

?

So the man named Jack in front of him came into his sight, and he knew about this existence. However, he was still unable to fully understand the identity of this man.

Even if Kennedy helped him find information, the background of the man in front of him was still a mystery. All that was known was that he was closely related to the American consortium, but it was impossible to determine which family he was from.

"10 million US dollars, bet on who will be the champion." Jack said with a smile.

"I will definitely bet on a player from my own country for the championship. Are you going to bet on a player from your own country?" Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows and looked at Jack.

"Then let's bet on whether the champion can break the world record." Jack said without changing his expression.

Liu Xiang is not very famous in China yet and many people don't know him, but he has become a star in the 110-meter hurdles. For example, in today's 110-meter hurdles, the other seven competitors on the eight tracks in this year's 110-meter hurdles competition have become a star.

No one can beat him in the competition.

So even though there are former Sydney 110-meter hurdles champions and other world-class 110-meter hurdles silver medalists among these contestants, Liu Xiang is still the biggest favorite to win.

Therefore, as long as Jack's brain is not convulsed, it is naturally impossible for him to be angry and pressure his own country's competitors to win the championship. Although the competition is full of uncertainties.

Betting on Liu Xiang to win the championship has a winning rate of almost 70%, while betting on an American player to win the championship has a winning rate of less than 20%. This can be seen from the odds of international betting. The data provided by the betting company is absolutely very scientific.

Data. If there is something wrong with his mind, how could he bet on a bet that has a high chance of losing?

"The game is full of surprises. You proposed this bet yourself, but you don't really want to bet." Yang Dongxu looked at Jack teasingly, trying to block him with words.

"In this case, I'll bet on your country's player to win, and you can bet on something else." The expression on Jack's face did not change at all.

Obviously, this is also a guy with a thick face and a dark heart, and his interests in his eyes are greater than his own face.

"Let's just bet on whether we can break the world record, but there's no point in betting, so why don't we bet on something else." When you encounter such a shameless person, it's useless for you to block him. Because his face is bulletproof, not even a bit.

You won't feel embarrassed because of facial issues.

"What do you want to bet on?" Jack looked at Yang Dongxu.

"I am preparing to purchase a batch of telecommunications technology from Nokia. I win you to shut up those troublemakers. You win my shares in Nokia mobile phones and can sell them to you at the current market price.

Anyone." Yang Dongxu said.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "All the troublemakers?" Jack frowned.

"So the troublemaker." Yang Dongxu answered in the affirmative: "It's useless if you don't make trouble, because you don't lose anything if you don't make trouble, which means you don't pay any price for losing.

Stopping those troublemakers is the price you pay after losing. Besides, those troublemakers are just some vampires led by the United States. It’s just a matter of your words not to let them cause trouble."

"This sentence will get me into a lot of trouble. You must know that the technological blockade of China in the communications field is not my decision alone." Jack leaned on the sofa and looked at Yang Dongxu.

"Nokia is not a fool. It can sell any technology in exchange for some money as long as the United States does not block it. It will never sell what technology is core. They can clearly distinguish between them."

The meaning of this sentence is very obvious, that is, even if he wants to buy Nokia, he will not sell those high-tech technologies. The price of Jack's words is just to ensure that some of the technologies that can be bought and sold do not cause trouble in the transaction process.

Just come out. This does not touch the bottom line of the current technology blockade established by the US government.

"That sounds fair." Jack nodded.

Although it sounds like Yang Dongxu did not lose money by selling his shares in Nokia's mobile phone business at the market price, the so-called market price is not the highest price.

With the current popularity of Nokia mobile phones, there are countless capitals who want to buy these shares from him at a premium. If Jack wins, even if he does not want these shares in the Nokia mobile phone business, he can earn hundreds of millions of dollars by selling them at a premium and reselling them.

Profit. This bet is much larger than the $1,000 he proposed before.

"What if none of the objects you bet on win?" Kurk, who was sitting in the middle, said with a smile, "Otherwise, if the objects you bet on don't win due to an accident, then each of you loses 5 million US dollars to me.

If the person you bet on wins, then I will lose $5 million to each of you."

"Okay." Yang Dongxu nodded.

"No problem." Jack said.

In fact, the winning or losing of tens of millions of dollars does not mean much to the three people. This money is a huge amount of money for ordinary people. For them, it is estimated that buying a slightly better manor villa will cost more than this amount.

So it doesn't matter if Kurt wins or loses, all he wants to do is to participate. In this way, the two guests he invited over will start gambling, and he, the master, will not be too embarrassed to sit here.

"Is this world record this year's world record or the previous world record?" Jack asked.

"Of course it's a new world record. I want to bet that he can break this year's world 110-meter hurdles world record, but you won't want to. So I bet that he can run under 13 seconds, break the historical 110-meter hurdles record and create new history."

"Then I bet he can't set a new world record." Jack said very relaxedly.

Although the Chinese athlete is the favorite to win this year, the world record for the 110-meter hurdles was held by Colin Jackson in 1993. This record has been held for 11 years now.

There is no problem for Liu Xiang to win the championship. Gambling companies will not make mistakes on such a key issue, because those gambling companies that made mistakes have already gone bankrupt.

But whether he breaks the dusty world record is a 50-50 matter, and he never feels that his luck is worse than the young man in front of him.

The only reason for the failure last time was that the pigs under his control made a mistake, not because there was anything wrong with his plan. If the stupid pig hadn't fired on the spot, causing Yang Dongxu's bodyguard to counterattack in self-defense.

Even if Yang Dongxu explains clearly in court why he mobilized a large sum of money from the 911 disaster funds to make his own disaster fortune, he still has a way to make the young man in front of him shed a layer of skin in order to escape from the prison.

But because the idiot shot on the spot, the guy in front of him stood directly on the commanding heights of self-defense and counterattack. The FBI was very passive, and the identity of those people could not withstand the pressure of public opinion, so he had to stop and lose hastily.

One game.
