Chapter 1247: Take a gamble

Compared to world-class sports such as basketball and football, there are not many spectators in hurdles. Except for the local spectators who came to support the athletes because of the athletes from their own countries in this competition, only a small number of people who really love hurdles and bought tickets to watch the competition.

It's like a few years later it was always said that Usain Bolt saved the men's sprint. Before Usain Bolt, although men's sprinting was also a popular sport, it was just a hit, and the vast majority of the audience was still spectators who supported the athletes of their country, and not many spectators bought tickets because of their hobby.

But Usain Bolt has continued to break men's sprint records since his appearance, and 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 audience to watch the game, which suddenly made this sport, which was originally unranked, suddenly become a popular event that many people paid attention to.

If it weren't for Liu Xiang, only a very small number of people in the domestic sport would buy tickets to support the upcoming hurdle competition.

But with Liu Xiang and the fact that the odds of this sport have been maintained and he has become a member of his own country, the men's hurdles began to become hot in China in an instant. Liu Xiang has also become one of the top few sports stars in China. Before winning the championship this time, many Chinese people didn't even know who Liu Xiang was.

"Do you think there will be a new world record in this race?" said Kurke, looking at Yang Dongxu with a smile.

This time, the two of them did not sit in the stands, and the front row of the stands was where Zhou Ya and Ran Feifei were sitting with their children. Every woman's face, as well as the child's face, had a small red flag on their face, and they danced and cheered like a fanatical fan.

It's hard for you to imagine that before entering the arena, these women were still discussing cosmetics, and they didn't even know what game they were going to watch. Now they are like brainless fans.

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

"Why don't we bet on who will set the world record?" said a man next to Kurk with a beard and a loose sweatshirt.

only did not accompany his wife and children in the front row of the audience, but sat in the box of the VIP of the competition venue. It was because Kurk suddenly invited him to the VIP room and said that a friend wanted to introduce him to him.

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

"Bet on what?" Yang Dongxu looked sideways at the man.

Although he just nodded and did not communicate, and even Kurk did not introduce to both sides. But Yang Dongxu knows this man, not only does he know the other party, but the other party is probably very familiar with him.

Because of the recent incident that alarmed the world media, and then the initiator of the FBI shooting of a Chinese businessman that was quickly forgotten by the world media, it was this guy next to him who was smiling and looking very friendly.

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

So the man named Jack in front of him came into his eyes, but knew about this existence. But for the time being, the identity of this person is not yet clear.

Even if Kennedy helped him find information, the background of the man in front of him was still a mystery, and all he knew was that he was close to the American consortium, but he could not be sure which family it was.

"$10 million, bet on who is the champion. Jack said with a smile on his face.

"I'm sure I'm betting on my own country's players, are you going to bet on my own country's players?" Yang Dongxu looked at Jack with raised eyebrows.

"Then we're betting 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 race, none of the other seven competitors on the eight tracks has won against him in this year's competition.

So even though some of these competitors are former Sydney 110m hurdles champions, there are other world-class 110m hurdles silver medalists. Liu Xiang is still the biggest favorite to win the championship.

Therefore, as long as Jack's brain is not convulsive, it is naturally impossible to be angry and pressure his own national players to win the championship. Although the game is full of uncertainties.

There is almost a 70% winning rate for Liu Xiang to win the championship, and less than 20% for the American player to win the championship. This can be seen from the odds of international betting, and the data taken out by the spinach company is definitely a very scientific data. Is there a problem in his brain, how can he gamble on a game that has a high probability of losing?

"The game is full of accidents, you come up with this bet yourself, but you don't want to gamble much. Yang Dongxu looked at Jack teasingly, wanting to block the other party with words.

"In that case, I'm betting on your country's player to win, you can bet on something else. The look on Jack's face didn't change at all.

Obviously, this is also a thick-faced and black-hearted guy, and the interests in his eyes are greater than the existence of his own face.

"It's good to bet on whether we can break the world record, but it's not interesting to gamble for money, so let's bet on something else." "When you encounter such a shameless person, it's useless for you to block him with words. Because his face can be bulletproof, he will not feel embarrassed at all because of his face problems.

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

"I'm about to buy a batch of telecommunications technology from Nokia, and I'm going to win you to shut up the troublemakers. You win my stake in Nokia phones and can sell them to anyone you specify at the current market price. Yang Dongxu said.

"All the troublemakers?" Jack frowned.

"So troublemakers. Yang Dongxu replied in the affirmative: "It's useless if you don't make trouble, because if you don't make trouble, there is no loss at all, which means that you don't pay any price if you lose."

Stopping those who make trouble is the price you pay when you lose. Besides, those troublemakers are just some vampires led by the United States, and it is a matter of your words to prevent them from causing trouble. ”

This sentence will get me into a lot of trouble, you must know that the technical blockade of Huaxia in the field of communication is not something I say alone. Jack leaned back on the sofa and looked at Yang Dongxu.

"Nokia is not a fool, what technology as long as the United States does not stop it can be sold for some money. What technology is the core technology will definitely not be sold they are clear. ”

The meaning of this sentence is very obvious, that is, those high-end technologies will not be sold even if he wants to buy Nokia. The price of Jack's words is just to ensure that some technologies that can be bought and sold don't jump out of the-stirring sticks during the transaction. This does not touch the bottom line of the current technological blockade set by the US government.

"That sounds fair. Jack nodded.

Although selling more shares in Nokia's mobile phone business at the market price sounds like Yang Dongxu is not losing money. But the so-called market price is not the highest price.

With the current popularity of Nokia mobile phones, there are countless capitals that want to buy these shares from him at a premium, and if Jack wins, even if he doesn't want these shares of Nokia's mobile phone business, he can make hundreds of millions of dollars in profits by selling them at a premium. That's a much bigger bet than the $1,000 he had previously offered.

"What if none of your bets win?" said Kurke, who was sitting in the middle, with a smile, "or if your bet doesn't win by accident." Then you alone lose $5 million to me, and if the person you bet on wins, then I lose $5 million to each of you. ”

"Yes. Yang Dongxu nodded.

"No problem. Jack spoke.

In fact, winning or losing tens of millions of dollars is not of much significance to three people, and this money is a huge amount of money for ordinary people. For them, it is estimated that buying a slightly better manor house is more than that.

So it doesn't matter if Kurk wins or loses, all he has to do is get involved. 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 is it a previous one?" Jack asked.

"Of course it's a new world record, and I'm going to bet that he can break this year's world record in the 110m hurdles, and you're not going to want to. So I'm betting that he can run 13 seconds and break the all-time 110m hurdles record to make new history. ”

"Then I'm betting he won't be able to set a new world record. Jack said very relaxedly.

Although the Chinese athlete is the favorite to win this year's title, the world record in the 110m hurdles is held by Colin Jackson in 1993, and this record has been held for 11 years now.

There is no problem for Liu Xiang to win the championship, and the spinach company will not make a mistake on such a key issue, because the spinach company that made a mistake would have gone out of business a long time ago.

But whether to break the dusty world record or not, that's a matter of five or five, and he never felt that his luck was worse than that of the young man in front of him.

The last time it only failed, it was because of the misoperation of the pigs under his hands, not because there was anything wrong with his plan. If the stupid pig hadn't shot on the spot, causing Yang Dongxu's bodyguard to fight back in self-defense.

Even if Yang Dongxu explained clearly in court why he would mobilize a large amount of money from the 911 disaster money to make a disaster fortune for himself, he still had a way to let the young man in front of him take 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 and counterattack. made the FBI very passive, and the identities of those people could not withstand the pressure of public opinion, so he had to hastily stop and lose the game.
