The end of the "Welcome Cup" means the opening of the World Cup. In addition to the joy of winning the championship, Lin Yan was thinking more about how to maximize his interests during the World Cup. Now after the establishment of the studio, Lin Yan found that he was even more short of money, although there was a steady stream of funds coming in, but the faster the studio developed, the more money was needed, and the cost of registering a network technology company was not high, but if the registered capital was only 100,000, it means that the company's background strength was too low, and it was difficult to find a partner who could cooperate, and Lin Yan wanted to set the registered capital at 1 million yuan.

Today is the last day of May, and in the afternoon, Lin Yan and the fat man finished taking stock of the accounts and gathered everyone in the studio for a meeting. The studio's income in May was 109,550 yuan, the expenses of rent, water and electricity, wages, office supplies and other expenses were 35,340 yuan, and the profit was 74,210 yuan. Among them, 50% (37,105 yuan) is used as start-up capital, 8% is used as management expenses (5,936.8 yuan is the basic next dinner fee and activity expenses, which is handed over to Chen Zhi'an for management), and the other 42% (31,168.2 yuan) is a profit dividend, 4,452.6 yuan per person, Lin Yan took out cash and gave each person a salary of 800 yuan plus a dividend of 4,452.6 yuan on the spot.

I remember that in the dormitory in early May, when everyone saw the studio's first income of 3,000 yuan for the first time, several people were very excited at that time. Because it was the first salary and dividend payment after the official establishment of the studio, Lin Yan wanted everyone to be more cohesive and confident, so he deliberately took out cash, which did not mean anything to show off, just to let everyone have the confidence to follow him.

It's already the end of the month, and after the salaries of several people in the studio plus profit sharing, Lin Yan thinks that he must make money to register the company as soon as possible, because now is the fastest time for the development of the online game market, and if he misses this wave of opportunities, he will regret it. Lin Yan knows that the online games after "Hot X Legend", "Miracle Muse" and "Fantasy Eastward Journey" are also super popular, and they will be listed within these two years, and his company must be registered as soon as possible.

At the opening of the World Cup, many restaurants placed a large-screen TV in the dining room in order to attract business, which was used to broadcast the World Cup events. Tonight, all the members of the studio had a dinner for the first time, and because it was the champion of the Welcome Cup, there were a lot of people at the dinner, Lin Yan chose a food stall and booked three tables, separated from men and women. The sophomore team members (16 people) where Lin Yan is in the boys are all there, as well as Qiu Xianlin, Zhang Lanjun, Yu Zihan, and Zhou Qifan in the studio; the girls have 6 people from Zhou Lili's dormitory, as well as Zhou Qifan's girlfriends Zhou Wen, Jin Ying, Zhu Yan, Yan Fei and Yan Fei's roommate Geng Yuxin. There are 20 on the boys' side and 11 on the girls' side. The party of 31 people can be described as huge, it is a small hotel, and the stalls are crowded.

The boys got together early to discuss their favorite football team, hyped up which football star could lead their team to win the championship, and talked about buying football lottery to support their team.

Lin Yan has been busy with the studio recently, and almost forgot to buy lottery tickets, after everyone discussed, he woke up in an instant, how can such a big event be forgotten.

In 2002, the Chinese men's football team broke out of Asia for the first time to the world, participating in the 17th World Cup held in Japan and South Korea. To commemorate this historic match, on the eve of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, the National Sports Lottery Center launched instant and computer-based World Cup football lottery. It can be said that this is the real sense of the sports lottery, is the first time to combine the sports lottery with large-scale events, creating a precedent for football lottery guessing major football cups. Whether it is a fan or a football lottery enthusiast, at this moment is infinitely close to the much-anticipated World Cup, people are cheering for the Chinese men's football team at the same time, but also expect to be "imprinted" on the football lottery.

On May 18, 2002, the long-awaited World Cup football lottery competition began for fans and lottery buyers across the country. The contest is divided into three forms: win, draw and lose, top 4 and top 8 guesses, and instant lottery. Among them, the "2002 World Cup 16 Competition" is the first set of instant football lottery tickets in the Chinese Sports Lottery, a set of 6, with a face value of 10 yuan. Each edition is divided into two types: loose and connected, and there are 6 advertising patterns on the back of the ticket. The maximum prize is 2 million yuan. Lin Yan still has a deep impression of this lottery, because he bought a set of tickets in his previous life, but he didn't win the jackpot and won a 7th prize of 50 yuan.

Lottery three ways to play, the first kind of lottery (group stage), along with the rules of the football lottery game that we are familiar with 310 gameplay, guessing is divided into three periods, each period from the World Cup group stage selected 13 games; the first issue date is May 26 - June 1, June 5 draw, the second issue date is June 1 - June 6, June 11 draw, the third issue date is June 6 - June 11, June 15 draw, each note of the lottery 2 yuan, a single note bonus of 5 million yuan。

The second is the World Cup top 8 prediction, guess the top 8 teams in the World Cup competition in the top 8 teams; the issue date is May 18 - May 28, June 19 lottery, 2 yuan per lottery ticket, only the first prize award, a single note bonus of 5 million yuan, guess the top 8 teams (regardless of ranking) that is, win.

The third is the World Cup top 4 competition, guess the top four teams and rankings in the 32 teams in the World Cup; the issuance date is May 31 - June 5, July 1 draw, each note of the lottery 2 yuan, only the first prize award, a single note bonus of 5 million yuan, guess the top 4 teams and rankings for the win.

Lin Yan has only now woken up, today is already the 31st, the second kind of top 8 guessing has ended on the 28th, can not participate, the first kind of guessing is very difficult, because the specific wins, losses, draws, Lin Yan remembers not a lot, there is an impression of the unpopular, for example, France 0:1 Senegal, South Korea 1:0 defeated Portugal, Japan 1:0 Russia, Huaxia 3 defeats and other special games; South Korea, it can be said that if it is not reborn, this is the result of killing no one can guess.

Lin Yan couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart, but he was still a little worried, hoping that the wheel of history would not have a butterfly effect because of himself. After Lin Yan calmed down, he also paid more attention to tonight's opening match, which is also the opening of this "unpopular" World Cup, if nothing else, France will miss the horse and lose 0:1 to Senegal in the first game.

At the food stalls, there was a lot of noise, the male students chatted about football and drank beer, the girls were more presumptuous than usual, and a few bold girls also drank a few glasses without showing weakness, of course, most of them still drank yogurt and juice. Everyone was very happy, even Yu Zihan, who usually never drank alcohol, made an exception and drank a bottle of beer, and everyone pushed the cup to the cup, so unhappy.

With the start of the ball game, there are more people coming to the food stalls, many students are crowded together, and the three tables of students are also mixed and matched to look at the big screen, the girls seem to be protected objects, surrounded by the boys in the middle, but not every girl is used to such an atmosphere, Zhou Lili's dormitory is familiar to everyone, and can accept everyone's ridicule, but Yan Fei from the business school is a little unaccustomed.

Although Jin Ying also likes football and can barely get along with everyone, Zhu Yan, Yan Fei and Geng Yuxin are very uncomfortable and hide among the girls. Zhou Qifan and Zhou Wen are even more close together, Zhou Lili is sitting in Zhou Wen's inside, and Yan Fei is next to Zhou Lili, and the two girls who have known each other for a short time are whispering like best friends. There was no one behind the two of them, and everyone naturally left the position to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan was actually quite embarrassed to sit over, and wanted to stay away from the two of them, but who expected that both of them would turn back to Lin Yan and ask him to sit behind and talk. Looking at Geng Yuxin beside Yan Fei, Lin Yan knew that his task today had not been completed, so he had to sit behind.

In this game, Lin Yan clearly remembers that only in the first half of the whole game, Senegal scored a goal in the 30th minute. It was also the only star of the Senegal team Diouf who broke through, knocked on the bottom line, and Bu Diop scored a supplementary goal!

With 23 minutes into the first half, France had a good chance when Thierry Henry played a pass to Trezeguet, who shot past a defender and hit the post. At that time, Lin Yan was scared into a cold sweat, and he thought it was a rewriting of history.

At that time, the crowd in the food stalls erupted in screams and regrets, and no one wanted Senegal to win like Lin Yan, and only scored a goal in the 30th minute.

Soon, the exciting time came, in the 29th minute, the ball was still at the feet of the French team Vieira, Vieira passed the ball to Djokaf in the midfield, it was this goal, Djokaf received the ball too carelessly, did not notice Senegal's grabbing player Daf, Duff quickly grabbed, passed directly to Diouf after breaking the ball, Diouf was very fast, took the ball to accelerate, broke through Leboeuf, the bottom line knocked horizontally, Petit cleared the ball and caused Butters to block the ball and get rid of it, Boo Diop made up for the goal! France 0-1 Senegal.

Haha, Lin Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, history has not been rewritten, and the script is being staged.

"Beautiful, good ball!" Lin Yan couldn't help but shout. The surrounding regret and Lin Yan's shouts were just the opposite, everyone turned their heads to look at Lin Yan, although this ball was indeed wonderful, but the fans were all to cheer for their favorite team, and almost no one in the Senegal team was optimistic.

"Are you optimistic about the Senegal team, or is it a big deal to buy football lottery to make the crowd unpopular?" Zhou Lili and Yan Fei looked back at Lin Yan, and Lily asked.

'No, just looking at the ball, it was a wonderful goal, Diouf's breakthrough was brilliant and the cross was in good position, which was the key to the goal. I think I can buy a lottery ticket tomorrow, maybe this World Cup is a lot of unpopularity, and I will earn it accidentally, hehe!" Lin Yan said with a smile.

"The game is not over yet, why do you think it will be an upset? Hmph, the French team is the last champion, or the European Championship champion, the strength is higher, and it will be equalized soon. Yan Fei, do you say yes? Zhou Lili said unconvinced.

"What you said makes sense, but maybe what Lin Yan said will really become a reality, the arena is changing rapidly, and everything is possible. I remember the first game of the Welcome Cup was an upset, or was it your brother who created it. Yan Fei said to Zhou Lili with a smile.

"Okay, let's take a gamble, if the French team wins, hehe, I'll lose your boyfriend to me, and if Senegal wins, hehe, I'll lose your boyfriend to you." Hahaha~" Zhou Lili said jokingly.

"Two sisters, who are you two betting on?Lin Yan?" Zhou Qifan interjected.

Lin Yan wailed for a while, and was shot while lying down.

"Take care of your own business, we are betting on Zhou Wen, if I lose, I will send Zhou Wen out and let you be widowed. Zhou Lili said angrily.

"Brother Lin, I think Sister Fei is good, my sister is too violent, I'm afraid, there will be domestic violence in the future!"

"Zhou Qifan, what nonsense are you talking about, you wait~~~" Zhou Lili's face turned red, looking at Lin Yan on the side, it was not good to fight with Zhou Qifan, and Yan Fei on the side also blushed.

"Xiaofan, don't talk nonsense, you beg to be beaten!" Zhou Wen also deliberately looked at Zhou Qifan with a tied face. "Even if what you say is right, you can't say it now, you have to talk to Brother Lin secretly. ”

Several people were playing and laughing, and Yan Fei was also laughing. Geng Yuxin sat next to Yan Fei, listening to the chats of several people, her thoughts fluttered, her eyelashes fluttered, and she looked at Lin Yan, Zhou Lili, and Yan Fei, showing a look of surprise.

This family, Lin Yan looked at it, and felt that it was very fun, sweet and happy. Look at Yan Fei again, smiling smartly, with bright eyes, gentle and lovely. Lin Yan was also paying attention to Geng Yuxin on Yan Fei's side, and on the surface, she was very happy with a few people around her, but in fact, everyone was in the sand with her, and there seemed to be a barrier.
