Chapter 3 World Cup Football Lottery


Chapter 3 World Cup Football Lottery

After eating, Guo Yang lay on the bed and rested for a while.

As for Bi Qiang, he has already rushed back to the experimental base of the Vegetable Research Institute.

After taking a nap and feeling better, Guo Yang studied the World Cup in his dormitory for a while, and then went out to buy lottery tickets.

In Lanshi in 2002, you would never enjoy the endless green that is unique to the south.

The trees on the north and south mountains like lungs on both sides of the Yellow River are just a drop in the ocean among the bare mountains.

Even so, the forests in the north and south mountains have been nurtured by the sweat and hard work of the Lanzhou people for hundreds of years.

Tongda Street, lottery shop.

"Boss, give me the combination above, a total of twenty times."

The owner of the lottery shop is a middle-aged man with a big bald head.

He took the money and note from Guo Yang and looked at it, feeling a little dumbfounded.

"Brother, you wrote it correctly, are you sure this is the top eight bet?"

"Yes."

The boss was stunned for a moment and said : "I won't talk about Turkey. Do you think South Korea and Senegal can enter the quarterfinals?"

"Let's take a bet, it doesn't cost much."

Guo Yang replied calmly.

But the boss looked at Guo Yang up and down with suspicious eyes. You don't look like a rich man even though you are dressed like this.

“If you don’t think about it any more, it’s a pity that 40 yuan goes down the drain like this.”

“You don’t have to think about it anymore, just give me a call like this. ”

Shaking his head, the boss still played the lottery for Guo Yang.

Guo Yang didn't care at all. In his combination, there were no traditional strong teams such as Italy, Argentina, France, and Portugal. Instead, South Korea and Senegal were included in the top eight.

Anyone with a little knowledge of football will think this is outrageous.

South Korean football is very strong and has beaten the national football team for more than ten years, but that is only within Asia.

There is also Senegal, some people may not have heard of this country at this time.

“Take a look, is there anything wrong?”

After taking the lottery ticket and confirming it was correct, Guo Yang was ready to leave.

But at this moment, an inappropriate voice sounded.

"Hey, who looks so familiar here? It turns out to be our Dr. Guo."

The pronunciation of the word 'doctor' was specially emphasized, and Guo Yang sounded special Harsh.

The speaker was a fashionably dressed woman, He Li, who was also a student at Agricultural University.

However, Guo Yang's eyes were focused on the man next to him, and memories and instinctive disgust came flooding back.

Chen Yunpeng!

Guo Yang recognized the person who had previously been his main competitor in studying abroad at public expense.

His hair was meticulously styled and he was wearing a black jacket, but his slightly fat figure made Guo Yang feel a little funny.

Chen Yunpeng stepped forward and asked with concern: "I heard that you fainted while writing materials last night. Are you okay?"

Don't judge people by their appearance. In the memory of his predecessor, Chen Yunpeng was a smiling tiger.

In front of the lottery shop, Guo Yang stood upright with his thin body, and said calmly: "It's okay, it won't affect his study abroad."

Chen Yunpeng's expression jumped, but he still maintained his expression. Concerned smile.

Guo Yang quietly looked at Chen Yunpeng's poor acting skills, and suddenly felt that there was something wrong with his predecessor's memory.

This is not a ‘smiling tiger’, this is clearly a fat ‘silly tiger’.

Chen Yunpeng didn't know it, but still crossed his hands behind his back, pretending to say in a calm tone:

"Tell me, how can you voluntarily give up this quota?"

"Money? Or something else? "

When he heard about money, Guo Yang's expression changed, but then he shook his head.

Chen Yunpeng noticed this and was about to continue persuading.

At this time, He Li stood up first and said arrogantly: "You look like a poor country bumpkin. If you know better, you should give up earlier, otherwise you will end up with nothing."

Guo Yang turned his head and looked at Looking at the aggressive He Li, he teased: "It's none of your business."

After saying that, Guo Yang turned around and left regardless of the changing expressions of the two people.

The person who is anxious at this time is Chen Yunpeng.

Chen Yunpeng was anxious, but he was not anxious anymore.

Although he is not planning to study abroad, he is willing to add some trouble to Chen Yunpeng.

He Li looked at Chen Yunpeng, whose face was ashen after Guo Yang left, holding his hand and comforting him: "It's okay, Yunpeng. If it doesn't work, we will give up our place to that country bumpkin. We will study abroad at our own expense." Well, it’s not much less money anyway.” “Can I go to a famous school if I study abroad at my own expense?”

“How about you ask your uncle to say hello to the school?”

"Can this greeting be given casually?" Chen Yunpeng suppressed his emotions, and the flesh on his cheeks seemed to be trembling.

"What should we do now? Guo Yang has published several high-quality articles in the past few years. He also participated in a National Natural Science Foundation of China project this year, and he is preparing to publish another article recently..."

"That's enough." Chen Yunpeng's voice couldn't help but raise a few points.

After closing his eyes and taking a few deep breaths, he continued:

"In terms of scientific research ability, I am not much worse than him."

Listen while thinking about Guo Yang The expression on his face changed when he got the money, and Chen Yunpeng had an idea in his mind.

I asked the owner of the lottery shop: "Boss, that person bought football lottery tickets from you just now. What did he buy?"

The boss said disdainfully: "Is that the guy who just talked to you? Then This kid doesn’t understand football at all. Even if he doesn’t buy strong teams like France and Argentina, how can South Korea and Senegal make it to the quarterfinals?”

Hearing this, Chen Yunpeng couldn’t help but chuckle, I’m afraid this is Guo Yang. Thinking about money is crazy!

On the way back to school, Guo Yang's thoughts were racing.

“It is impossible to study abroad.”

But my predecessor put in countless efforts while studying for graduate school, and finally fainted because of it. It would be too frustrating to simply give up like this.

Moreover, the predecessor was better than Chen Yunpeng in terms of the number of articles he published and the quality of the projects he participated in.

If the competition follows normal procedures, it is difficult for Chen Yunpeng to have a chance of winning.

But he has a good uncle!

As for Guo Yang, in addition to the support of his mentor Weng Lixin, his biggest reliance is his own scientific research strength, but only scientific research strength!

In this social network, if your abilities are not strong enough, many things will not go smoothly.

If Chen Yunpeng calls his parents, he really has no good solution.

But looking at the current situation, it seems that Chen Yunpeng does not intend to ask the parents to end.

Instead, he is likely to choose to buy himself with money.

With the World Cup starting in a few days, he really needs capital to participate in this event.

After all, it seems a bit stingy to spend tens of millions to engage in pasture and seed industry.

Back in the dormitory, Guo Yang put the lottery ticket in a book that was not commonly used, then put the book in the drawer and locked it.

Then based on memory, I pulled out a stack of information from the desk.

These are experimental data left over from the predecessor, and on the outermost layer of the data, an English paper appears on the paper.

Guo Yang flipped through this information and determined that it was the paper that his predecessor was preparing to submit to an international journal.

After carefully sealing it again, Guo Yang changed into slightly better clothes.

He was going to talk to his mentor Weng Lixin about giving up studying abroad. After all, the teacher had worked hard for him to study abroad.

Guo Yang’s mentor, Weng Lixin, graduated from Agricultural University in 1985 and has been teaching at the school since then.

His research areas mainly focus on pasture genetic breeding, high yield of forage and seeds, and alfalfa cultivation.

However, unlike later generations, this period did not pay much attention to alfalfa-related industries in China. The development of the alfalfa industry has been in a very difficult situation for many years.

Naturally, scientific researchers in this area do not have much say. Commonly known as there is no funding.

In fact, before the "Melamine Infant Milk Powder" incident occurred in 2008, my country's alfalfa production was less than 100,000 tons per year, and most of it was sold to zoos, with no food for dairy cows.

Behind the melamine problem is that cows are not fed enough protein and their nutrition has not kept up.

Leading criminals to add melamine to milk powder to increase the protein content in milk test results.

What is even more ironic is that after the "baby milk powder" incident, the beautiful country's alfalfa products increased exports to our country.

In the three years from 2007 to 2010, my country's imports of alfalfa products increased 48 times. By 2023, annual imports will be close to 2 million tons, far more than the amount of wheat imported from the United States.

Forage import prices also soared, reaching as high as 5,000 to 6,000 yuan per ton.

After going round and round, Guo Yang successfully found his instructor Weng Lixin in the office building of the Grass Academy.

He is tall, with a high nose bridge and deep eye sockets. The distance between his eyebrows and eyes is also relatively wide. He has the typical characteristics of a mixed ethnic group.

Guo Yang learned from his memory that his predecessor and mentor Weng Lixin usually had a serious character.

One of them teaches seriously, and the other studies diligently.

It may seem like an ordinary teacher-student relationship, but the teacher-student friendship accumulated over the years is also quite deep.

When he saw Guo Yang knocking on the door and coming in, Weng Lixin pushed up his glasses with his hand and said doubtfully:

"Well, aren't you busy writing materials? Why do you have time to come over and take a look? Me."

Guo Yang calmed down and said concisely: "Teacher, I am ready to give up studying abroad."

The atmosphere suddenly became silent.
