The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era
Chapter 1245 Take a Gamble
Compared with world-class sports such as basketball and football, there are not many spectators in hurdle races. Except for the spectators from their own country who come to support the players because there are players from their own country in this competition, there are only a very small number of people who really love hurdling sports and buy tickets to watch the game.
It's like a few years later everyone is always saying that Bolt saved the men's sprint. Before Bolt, men's sprinting was considered a popular sport, but it was only a popular sport. The vast majority of the audience was still supporting their own athletes, and not many audiences bought tickets because of their hobbies.
But after Bolt appeared, he continued to break the men's sprint record. Many people are very curious about how the fastest sprinter on the planet took off on the track.
As a result, a large number of curious spectators poured into the auditorium to watch the game, and suddenly this sport, which was originally unranked, became a popular sport that many people paid attention to.
The same is true for the hurdle race that is about to begin. If it were not for Liu Xiang, only a very small number of people in this sport in China would buy tickets to come in and support it because there are domestic athletes participating.
However, with the addition of Liu Xiang and the possibility of maintaining this sport to become a member of his own country, men's hurdles began to become popular in China instantly. Liu Xiang also became one of the top few sports stars in China. And before this championship, many Chinese people didn't even know who Liu Xiang was.
"Do you think there will be a new world record in this game?" Kurk looked at Yang Dongxu with a smile.
This time, the two of them didn't sit in the stands. The front row of the stands was where Zhou Ya sat with her children and Ran Feifei and the girls. Little red flags were pasted on the faces of every woman and child, dancing and cheering like a fanatical fan.
It's hard for you to imagine that before entering the arena, these women were still discussing about cosmetics, and they probably didn't even know what game they were about to watch. Now they are all like brainless fans.
"It should be." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
"How about we take a bet on who will set the world record?" A bearded man wearing a loose sweatshirt next to Kurk said.
It's just that he didn't accompany his wife and children in the front row of the audience, but sat in the VIP box of the competition venue. It was because Kulk suddenly invited him to the VIP room and said that he had a friend to introduce him to.
But the strange thing is that after entering the box, Kulk did not intend to introduce the two to each other. But when it came to other things, Yang Dongxu and the bearded man just nodded and said hello and didn't communicate much. He never thought that he would appear at this time.
"What's the bet?" Yang Dongxu looked sideways at the man.
Although they just nodded and did not communicate, and even Kurk did not introduce the two parties. But Yang Dongxu knew this man, not only did he know him, the other party probably knew him very well.
Because the instigator of the US FBI shooting of a Chinese businessman that shocked the world media not long ago, and was quickly forgotten by the world media, was the guy next to him who was smiling and seemed very friendly.
As a victim afterwards, although Yang Dongxu got some compensation for some reasons, he had to stop hastily. But for those who want to assassinate themselves, even if they can't do anything about him for a while, they still need to know who the person who harmed them is?
So the man named Jack in front of him came into his eyes, but he knew this existence. But the identity of this person is still unclear.
Even though Kennedy helped him find information, the background of the man in front of him was still a mystery. All he knew was that he was closely related to the American consortium, but he couldn't be sure which one he was from.
"10 million dollars, bet on who will be the champion." Jack said with a smile on his face.
"I will definitely bet on my own country's player for the championship, are you going to bet on my own country's player?" Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows and looked at Jack.
"Then we'll bet on whether the champion can break the world record." Jack said with an unchanged expression.
Liu Xiang is not very famous in China at present, 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 competition, among the other seven competitors on the eight tracks, none of them beat him in this year's competition.
So even if there are former Sydney 110-meter hurdles champions among these competitors, there are other world-class 110-meter hurdles silver medalists. Liu Xiang is still the biggest favorite to win the championship.
Therefore, as long as Jack's brain is not convulsed, it is naturally impossible to push his country's competitors to win the championship. Although the game is full of uncertainty.
But betting on Liu Xiang has a winning rate of more than 70%, while betting on an American player has a winning rate of less than 20%. This can be seen from the odds of the international gambling market. The data provided by other gambling companies is definitely very scientific data. Is there any problem in his mind? How can he bet on a game that has a high probability of losing?
"The game is full of accidents. You brought up this gamble yourself, but you don't really want to gamble." 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 other things." The expression on Jack's face remained unchanged.
Obviously, this is also a thick-faced and dark-hearted guy, who has more interests in his eyes than his own face.
"Just bet on whether you can break the world record, but it's not interesting to bet on money, why don't we bet on something else." When you encounter such a shameless person, it's useless for you to block him with words. Because his face is bulletproof, he will not feel embarrassed at all because of face problems.
"What do you want to bet?" Jack looked at Yang Dongxu.
"I'm about to buy a batch of telecommunications technology from Nokia. I win you to shut up those troublemakers. You won the shares of Nokia mobile phones in my hand, and you can sell them to you at the current market price. anyone." Yang Dongxu said.
"All the troublemakers?" Jack frowned.
"So those who make trouble." Yang Dongxu replied affirmatively: "It's just useless if you don't make trouble, because you don't lose anything if you don't make trouble, that is to say, you didn't pay any price if you lost.
Stopping those troublemakers is the price you pay when you lose. Besides, those who make trouble are all vampires headed by the United States, and it is only a question of your words to prevent them from making trouble. "
"This sentence will cause me a lot of trouble. You must know that the technical blockade of China in the communication field is not up to me alone." Jack leaned on the sofa and looked at Yang Dongxu.
"Nokia is not a fool. As long as the United States does not stop it, it can sell any technology for some money. They will never distinguish clearly what technology is the core technology."
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 technologies that can be bought and sold will not jump out of those shit-stirring sticks during the transaction process. This does not touch the bottom line of the current technical blockade established by the US government.
"That sounds fair." Jack nodded.
Although it sounds like Yang Dongxu didn't lose money by selling more shares in Nokia's mobile phone business at the market price. But 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 doesn’t want these shares in the Nokia mobile phone business, he can earn hundreds of millions of dollars by selling them at a premium. profit. The bet was much bigger than the $1,000 he had proposed before.
"What if none of your bets win?" Kurk, who was sitting in the middle, said with a smile, "Or else, if your bets don't win due to an accident, then you will lose 5 million dollars to me alone, If the person you bet on wins, I will lose $5 million to each of you."
"Yes." 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. These money are huge sums of money to ordinary people. For them, it is estimated that buying a slightly better manor villa is more than this amount of money.
So it doesn't matter if Kurk wins or loses, all he has to do is want to participate. In this way, the two guests he invited over gambled, and he, the host, would 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 record in the 110-meter hurdles and you definitely don't want to. So I bet that he can run under 13 seconds and break the historical 110-meter hurdles record to create a new history."
"Then I'll bet he can't set a new world record." Jack said very relaxed.
Although the Chinese athlete is the favorite to win the championship this year, the world record for the 110-meter hurdles is held by Colin Jackson in 1993. This record has been maintained for 11 years.
It is no problem for Liu Xiang to win the championship. Gaming companies will not make mistakes on such a key issue, because those gambling companies that made mistakes have already closed down.
But whether to break the dust-laden 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 last time he failed, it was only because the group of pigs under his hand made a mistake, not because there was anything wrong with his plan. If that stupid pig hadn't shot on the spot, causing Yang Dongxu's bodyguards to fight back in self-defense.
Even if Yang Dongxu explained clearly in court why he mobilized a large sum of money in the 911 disaster fund to make his own disaster fortune, he still has a way to make the young man in front of him peel off a layer of skin to get out of the cage.
But because the idiot shot on the spot, the guy in front of him stood directly on the commanding heights of self-defense counterattack. This made the FBI very passive, and coupled with the pressure of public opinion that those people's identities could not withstand scrutiny, he had no choice but to hastily stop and lose the game.
