Chapter 33 Harvesting Methods in Sioux City
May 30, 7 a.m., Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport.
Su Cheng and Zhong Chuhong appeared on a plane at the airport together.
In addition, for safety reasons, Su Cheng also brought ten bodyguards this time. These ten bodyguards are not only highly armed, but also veteran employees of Tianhe International Bodyguard Company. They followed Su Cheng southward. I have been to many places in the north and am very trustworthy.
Of course, in order not to appear so conspicuous, the bodyguards all changed their uniform suits into their own casual clothes.
The air tickets were purchased early in advance.
The journey from Xiangjiang to London is more than 10,000 kilometers. Because the distance is too far, there is no direct service from Xiangjiang in this era. Although flights to London are available every day, they must pass through a transfer station.
For example, this flight from Sioux City needs to pass through Turkey, stop in Istanbul for two hours, and finally arrive in London. The entire flight takes about 20 hours.
When Su Cheng and others arrived at Heathrow International Airport in London, it happened to be eight o'clock in the evening on May 30, London time.
As for why it is still May 30th after 20 hours of running, it is because London is 7 hours behind Hong Kong.
After coming out of the airport, with the help of the receptionist, Su Cheng took Zhong Chuhong and his bodyguards directly to a resort garden villa area in the southern suburbs of the city.
As early as a few days ago, Su Cheng had arranged his trip here. Because the World Cup was too long and he needed to stay for almost a month, he naturally would not stay in a hotel.
The Su Group has an office in London, which was announced by Su Tianhe a year ago in order to develop international business. Although the Su Group does not have much business in Europe at present, There are also people working here.
This also provides a very convenient service for this trip to Sioux City.
Related information about renting villas, renting cars, and more than a hundred gambling companies in London, large and small, has been prepared before Sioux City comes to London.
Of course, Su Cheng doesn't want to worry about these things now. After a 20-hour trip, he is already exhausted. It is the last word to rest as soon as possible.
As the king of this resort, this villa has exactly six rooms. Except for the master bedroom, the rest of the rooms are equipped with double beds. Su Cheng and Zhong Chuhong happen to live in the master bedroom. The rest of the bodyguards are divided into two bedrooms, which are properly allocated.
After washing up, Su Cheng quickly fell asleep.
The next day, Su Cheng didn’t get up until eleven o’clock in the morning London time.
After a night's rest, I finally feel more comfortable.
"How does it feel to go abroad for the first time?" Su Cheng asked Zhong Chuhong with a smile.
“Besides being excited at the beginning, I was very tired later on. I didn’t expect flying to be so hard.” Zhong Chuhong said with a yawn. Even after more than ten hours of rest in one night, his face still remained. Still with a hint of exhaustion.
"Looking at how tired you are, if you are tired, take a good rest in the villa today, and I will take you out to play tomorrow." Su Cheng laughed.
“But I just want to be with you. I’m scared to be here alone.” Zhong Chuhong shook her head after hearing this. After all, this was her first time abroad, and it was still thousands of miles away in the UK. Although she could use simple Communicate in English, but everything here is too strange for her.
"Okay, actually, I just went out to get familiar with the environment here." Su Cheng said nonchalantly.
There are a total of 138 gambling companies in the London area, large and small.
Under his classification, according to the size of the market capital, it is divided into five levels: S level, A level, B level, C level and D level
Among them, there are a total of There are 7 S-class, 15 A-class, 22 B-class, 35 C-class and 59 D-class bookmakers. Their corresponding handicap funds are 1 billion pounds, 100 million pounds, 50 million pounds, 10 million pounds and 1 million pounds respectively.
This month, the exchange rate between Hong Kong dollars and British pounds is about 9 Hong Kong dollars to 1 British pound.
In other words, the 150 million Hong Kong dollars brought by Sioux City this time were converted into pounds, and the pounds he held were more than 16 million pounds.
C-level and D-level gambling companies were directly ignored by him. The handicap was too small for him to look down on.
Therefore, the remaining 44 gaming companies with capital of more than 50 million pounds have become his targets.
Unlike later World Cups, which had 32 teams participating in the competition, the 1978 World Cup in Argentina had only 16 participating teams.
Therefore, there are a total of 38 games during the entire World Cup.
There are many highlights in this World Cup. For example, Kempes, the owner of Argentina's No. 10 jersey, was a key figure in Argentina's victory. He won the top scorer award in this cup with 6 goals.
For example, the most disparate score of this World Cup was Argentina’s 6-0 victory over Peru in the second group stage. With this victory, Argentina entered the final. However, after the game, Argentina was exposed Possible match-fixing with Peru.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Su City. He is not here to win the championship this time, but to make money.
With 38 games, Sioux City does not intend to buy every game. It is too easy for people to find heresy.
After careful selection, he selected 6 games with relatively high multiples from 38 games, such as Argentina's upset victory over Peru 6-0, Scotland's upset victory over the Netherlands and Argentina 3-2. Defeated the Netherlands 3-1 in the finals and so on.
6 games, purchased at 44 bookmakers, that is to say, for each game, he can choose 7 to 8 bookmakers to buy, until the end, he will not buy twice from each bookmaker.
This way the risk can be minimized.
An ancient saying goes: A snake swallows an elephant when the human heart is not enough.
Such people will only be harmed by their own desires in the end.
Although Su Cheng is greedy, he will also control his degree to obtain the highest benefit with the lowest risk.
With more and more funds, in the end, huge funds will definitely not be able to compete with bookmakers with too little funds.
So, according to the rhythm of the first round of the group stage, the second round of the group stage, and the knockout round, Sioux City will also follow the order of the gaming company levels from B level to S level. After all, with the game With the progress of the game, his funds have increased as a result. It is impossible for him to still be working in a B-level gambling company with huge funds during the finals, right? At that time, only S-class gambling companies could afford his winnings.
The first round of group matches will only be bought by bookmakers with a price of 50 million pounds. The second round of group matches will only be bought by bookmakers with a price of 100 million pounds. As for the last game of the finals During the game, he will buy it separately from 7 S-level bookmakers.
This is his entire strategic plan for this World Cup lottery.
Today is May 31, 1978.
The first game of the World Cup will start at the Monument Stadium in Buenos Aires at 3 pm local time on June 1, against West Germany and Poland.
Sioux City will naturally not miss the first game of the World Cup, because this game will also have an upset ending.
