Chapter 34 The first wave, making a huge profit of HK$300 million
The staff of the Su Group's London office have already rented three cars for Su City, so it is convenient for everyone to go out.
Su Cheng brought Zhong Chuhong and 10 bodyguards under the leadership of the staff. Today was mainly to adapt to the environment of London City.
Although the World Cup will not be held in the UK or even Europe, the World Cup atmosphere here is not lacking at all. Along the way, there are many promotional posters related to the World Cup on the streets of London.
In general, the content of the promotional poster is that the government hopes that everyone will support the Scottish national team.
Why support the Scottish national team instead of the British national team? This is because there is no British national team in the world.
FIFA was established in 1904 and hoped that the United Kingdom would join. The United Kingdom felt that it was the birthplace of modern football and that it would be boring to play with weak football countries like you. We might as well sign up for four local teams.
As a result, the four teams of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland became members of FIFA.
In this World Cup, of the four British teams, only the Scottish national football team has advanced to become one of the 16 participating football teams.
Unfortunately, many English fans did not cheer for the Scottish football team because of the government's request. Instead, they cheered for other countries they like.
Just because the relationship between the fans of the four brothers is not harmonious, it is so funny.
Sioux City remembers that in a previous life, there was a European Cup when England lost to Italy in a penalty shootout. The Scots were happier than they were when they won the trophy.
The British football atmosphere is so strong that even the smallest teams may have hundreds of years of history and a group of loyal local fans. Therefore, the arrival of the World Cup has also made many British fans crazy.
The arrival of the World Cup has also made many business owners discover business opportunities, and they have installed TV sets in their stores.
Many London fans who cannot go to Argentina to watch football matches can only gather in bars, cafes, restaurants and other places across London to cheer for their favorite stars and teams through live TV broadcasts. .
On this day, Su Cheng and others did not hang out for a long time. Instead, they probably let the bodyguard driver adapt to the environment here, ate outside, and then went back early.
Su Cheng has been to London once before, but that time he came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
This time, I need to stay here for a longer time, so I can play slowly and not be in a hurry.
Nursing your spirit is the last word.
In short, the focus is after the World Cup starts.
On the morning of June 1, Sioux City began his World Cup betting journey.
Since the first match between West Germany and Poland started at 3 pm local time in Argentina, London time is 4 hours ahead of local time in Argentina, which is 11 am London time.
The rules of each betting company are quite different. They basically stop accepting orders one hour before the game.
So, early in the morning, Sioux City took two bodyguards and ran to 7 B-level gaming companies, and his funds were spent 14 million pounds. As for the rest, Used as a reserve fund.
Before going out, Su Cheng dressed up carefully, putting on a hat, sunglasses, etc.
On average, each gaming company spent two million pounds. Although this amount is very large, it is still acceptable compared to the capital market of more than 50 million pounds. Even if they win, they will not regret it. Eat black.
The British government is very strict about gambling companies. If there is a complaint that the bonus is not redeemed, the gambling license will not only be frozen, but even a sky-high fine will be issued.
This is why the most developed gambling industry in the world in the 1970s was in the UK. Because of their strict management, except for some underground gambling companies, there was almost no gangsterism in large legal gambling companies. Because of this, Their credibility is renowned throughout the world. Moreover, gaming companies with large handicaps are almost all listed companies. Negative news will cause the gaming company’s stock price to fall, causing them to suffer greater losses in the capital market.
This is one of the reasons why Sioux City came to the UK this time instead of other places, so that the risk can be minimized.
The football strength of West Germany and Poland is not much different, and Sioux City has already known the result of the entire game through Xiao Ai.
In the end, West Germany and Poland shook hands with each other 0-0.
As for the odds of 0 to 0, the odds offered by various bookmakers are between 5-6 times.
In other words, after Su Cheng wins this time, the amount of money invested can at least be doubled by more than five times. Of course, after deducting taxes, it will definitely not be that much.
After spending almost all the money, Su Cheng walked out of the door of the last gaming company and went back to the holiday villa area in the suburbs with the two bodyguards waiting outside.
In order not to be bored, Su Cheng bought a color TV and brought it back to the villa.
So, Su Cheng, Zhong Chuhong and 10 bodyguards all waited by the TV during the live broadcast of the World Cup, watching the World Cup together.
This game is simply a dramatic game.
In the first half hour, a West German player was sent off with a red card. It can be said that the Polish team had all the advantages. Coupled with their tidal offensive, the Polish team played very calmly.
In the 42nd minute, the West German team made matters worse. The West German defender pulled the Polish forward in the penalty area and was sentenced to death by the referee.
At this moment, fans all over the world who were betting on the Polish team to win were extremely excited. This wave of victory was certain.
However, during the next game, the fans who bought Poland to win were cursed again and again.
Because from this point on, the Polish team seemed to be cursed by God.
Poland took the penalty kick in midfield and shot to the right side of the goal with his left foot, but the penalty was saved heroically by the West German goalkeeper. The Polish team missed the opportunity to break the deadlock. By the halftime break, the score was still 0. 0:0.
Then, the Polish team continued to attack, and in the 71st minute, they got another penalty kick!
The Polish forward dribbled the ball from the left at high speed and was tackled by the West German defender as he entered the penalty area. The referee decisively awarded a penalty kick.
This time the penalty kick was taken by the Polish forward, but his penalty bounced off the left post. Then the West German defender fell to the ground to make a clearance and destroyed the ball. West Germany once again escaped. Disaster!
After missing two penalty kicks, the morale of the Polish team was devastated. The continuous attacks did not convert into goals until the referee blew the final whistle. Neither side scored a goal, 0-0. It lasted until the end of the game.
"Boss, although I don't understand football, I still think this game is so exciting. No wonder so many people like to watch football games." After the game, Zhong Chuhong said with emotion.
“From a workplace perspective, World Cup football is a team battle. This close cooperation is also its charm. It is precisely because of its great charm that it has so many football fans. "Su Cheng said with a smile.
After the results came out, it was naturally time to get the bonus.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Sioux City began to go to the prize collection locations of each gaming company in order.
There are 7 gaming companies, including 4 gaming companies with 5 times and 3 with 6 times.
In the end, Sioux City’s total prize money reached 76 million pounds. After deducting the 20% tax stipulated in the UK, there was still 60.8 million pounds in hand.
60.8 million pounds, minus the principal of 14 million pounds. If converted into Hong Kong dollars, Sioux City won more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars in this wave.
What a win~
