Chapter 21, for the first pot of gold
Dad wants to watch the World Cup with him? Probably Mia told her dad about the history exam paper yesterday, although she prankfully said that she wanted to transfer liberal arts with Li He all the time without her father, so that her father would be surprised by the time, but it was obvious that she couldn't help it.
Li He laughed, he didn't want to stay up late to watch the game, so he was ready to go to sleep, there was still class tomorrow morning, and he was going to buy a bicycle after he was done. Compared with other things, the most important thing now is to find a way to protect Ji Xiao, so as not to let this flower girl wither as cruelly as he remembered in his previous life. He just wanted to save people, and had no other purpose, and at this time he found that doing something without utilitarianism was actually a very good feeling.
At this time, Li He still had 1750 yuan on his body (1000 was left for You Ke to buy lottery tickets), of course he didn't tell Mia about this money, but before going to bed, he couldn't help but sit next to Mia, hesitated, or said: "Aunt Ya, I want to buy a bicycle." "Is there any other reason for a boy who is still in secondary school to ride his bike to school instead of taking the bus to school?
For Li He's material requirements, Mia will generally try her best to meet them, her self-esteem does not allow her to let others say that she is a stingy stepmother, but she must grasp the scale, otherwise excessive indulgence will also harm the child. So when it comes to a large amount of money, Mia usually lets Li He's father decide for himself. But at this time, she replied very simply: "Okay, you have also told your father a few times, it is not an excessive request." You go and take a look first, and tell me when you see it, I'll give you money and you can buy it yourself. ”
"I saved a little money for myself," Li He decided to tell a lie, although as a divorced uncle, he has long been used to telling lies when his face does not change and his heart does not beat, but at this time he still looked at Mia a little cautiously and said: "The first few times my mother came to visit me, she left me some money, I was useless, it was enough to buy a bicycle." ”
Mia looked sideways at Li He, Li He's expression was a little unnatural, damn, he despised himself in his heart, how old is it, is it unnatural to lie casually? But soon he found that Genzi was not lying, but felt that this question was a little delicate, and he didn't know if this would accidentally hurt Mia. However, their family situation is like this, and instead of being cautious, it is better to be frank. Thinking about this, he smiled and said, "I've been thinking about it for a long time, if the money is not enough, Aunt Ya, you have to give me a little subsidy." ”
Mia looked at Li He's sunny face, and couldn't help but feel relieved, in fact, this is not a problem, it is her own sensitivity. Looking at Li He's smile, she suddenly felt that she should be more relaxed and more confident, as a parent, the child should be educated how to educate, and the requirements that should be met are also satisfied, why do you want to think about it? She reached out and touched Li He's head and said, "Okay, you can do it yourself, tell me if you don't have enough money." ”
To be honest, the action of touching his head really made Li He a little unnatural, in his heart, Mia was still young. And Mia also saw Li He's unnaturalness clearly, and smiled happily and said, "What are you hiding? Are you great when you grow up? Do you know that when you were in kindergarten, when you reached the big class, I wiped your ass?"
Li He dropped the sentence "I can't chat happily anymore" and fled, leaving Mia with a fluttering laugh, but it is also a responsibility to make the people around him laugh so happily.
The next morning, Li He took a class with the head teacher, Mr. Wu, and the rest skipped class with Kang Xingjian. It's Sunday, but the evil high school has to continue to have a half-day class, in fact, after being reborn, Li He doesn't hate classes as much as he did in his previous life, such a dark class, that is, high school, went to college, and there are not so many classes to take, of course, you have to be a top student to graduate early or learn a second major or something. Li He, who is a 35-year-old divorced uncle at heart, is actually not so comfortable sitting in the classroom these days, but as a person who has come over, he feels that he has to enjoy everything he has, including classes in the dark.
But enjoy is enjoyment, and the class that should be escaped is always to be escaped.
Li He and Kang Xingjian went to You Ke's company after skipping class, and he wanted to implement the matter of asking You Ke to bet legally abroad, he didn't know the betting situation and odds abroad, and he couldn't take out much money, but this was probably the first pot of gold after he was reborn...... I don't know how many there will be, but it must be a number that he can't achieve in a short period of time with his step-by-step study and work. He was not ready to use all the money in his hand to bet, because he felt that this kind of one-step thing might not be as he wished, so it was better to keep it back, and besides, he really had to use the money elsewhere now.
You Ke's company is in a 30-storey office building in the central city of Faith City, that is, in the center of Tonggu District, and in 98 years, this building was almost a landmark building of Faith City. You Ke's company is not big, but it rents a few offices on the 22nd floor, the interior is open, the decoration is not very luxurious, but the style is more avant-garde, it seems that he does not have many employees, counting the reception desk, that is, more than a dozen people.
Kang Xingjian obviously came often, so the little girl at the front desk just smiled when she saw him, and let him take Li He in by himself. Li He saw that the company was hanging a sign of "Can be traded", and he didn't know what You Ke did to trade.
"Coming?" You Ke was in his office, when he saw Kang Xingjian and Li He coming in, he didn't greet them in particular, and after finishing the work in hand, he took a document and walked out from behind the desk, beckoned Li He to sit down on the sofa, and said: "There is a power of attorney here, you can take a look at it first, and I will ask someone to help you bet abroad after signing it." ”
Before Li He could speak, Kang Xingjian couldn't help but say, "Brother, is this necessary?"
In the eyes of many of his peers, Kang Xingjian is also relatively precocious, because his family conditions are good, and his insight is more advanced than his peers, but he is only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.
However, Li He thinks this is very good, really very good, with more than ten years of life experience, he knows that many good friends have a lot of problems because of money when they are doing business together, until the boat of friendship is overturned, and they don't get along with each other or even go to court. The money involved in him, You Ke and Kang Xingjian at this time is almost negligible, but this is not a question of more money or less money, but a matter of concept.
Compared with Kang Xingjian's disapproval, Li He agrees with You Ke's approach, besides, he has never tried to sign or authorize anything in his previous life, so it feels good to look for it at this time. The power of attorney is very clear, stating the specific matters of accepting Li He's entrusted betting, including the proportion of the joint bet with Kang Xingjian and the distribution after the win. One by one, they are all clearly written. The way of betting is especially easy to explain to Li He, similar to them buying the ball at the bar, but there are some differences, after making sure that Li He understands, there is also a table in the authorization form, that is, the result of the game predicted by Li He.
Li He picked up a pen and first wrote that the teams that entered the round of 16 were Italy, Norway, Brazil, Chile, France, Paraguay, Denmark, Nigeria, Argentina, England, Germany, Mexico, the Netherlands, Yugoslavia, Croatia, and Romania.
Looking at the list of the top 16, Kang Xingjian said in disbelief: "Spain is directly out of the group? Can't it? Also, there is not a single Asian team? I think South Korea and Iran are still very strong, right? Although Iran lost yesterday, as long as they can draw with Germany and win against the United States, they should have no problem, and they have a great chance of qualifying with four points. And ......"
You Ke waved his hand and said, "This is Xiao He's guess, you have an idea, you can bet on it yourself." I think the top 16 are similar, the traditional strong teams are basically all there except for Spain, but there are some differences, and the difference will not be too big. Asian teams, to be honest, I'm not optimistic either. However, just guessing the top 16, even if you win all, you may not be able to win much money, and it is the most difficult to guess the top eight and semi-finals. There are formulas to push, and in the end you will find that the probability is very small. ”
Li He nodded and said, "Guess what, if you lose anyway, it should be a memorial." ”
Then he wrote the list of the top eight, which are France, Italy, Brazil, Denmark, the Netherlands, Argentina, Germany, and Croatia.
Looking at this list of the top eight, You Ke also frowned, he took out the match table and looked at it, according to the top 16 given by Li He, matched the team with 16 into 8, and then compared with the top eight, You Ke smiled and said: "There are not many underdogs, basically the traditional strong team wins, Argentina beats England, you are an emotional bet, right? ”
Li He did not hesitate to say: "Argentina has Batty. ”
You Ke smiled and said: "Although the superstar is important, Barty is not an immortal hero like Maradona who can save the whole team by himself, but it is normal for Argentina and England to win and lose." If Croatia really faces Romania as you predicted, it will be five to five. What about the Final Four?"
Li He went on to write, Brazil, France, the Netherlands, Croatia.
"I don't understand. Kang Xingjian couldn't help but say: "You take a good look at the matchup map, we won't talk about the previous ones, just take the quarterfinals you gave, France loses to Italy? No, I don't think so, and Italy still has Baggio, although Baggio is not at the peak compared to four years ago, but Italy with Baggio is also invincible to France." And you're betting that Argentina will lose to the Netherlands? That's your home team, emotionally speaking, you can't think like that, right?"
