Chapter Seventy-Four: The Middleman

For Christina, although she was injured in an accident and left the stadium for a period of time, the interview brought her a lot of benefits, and her status in the adjudication committee has been further improved.

And Christina took a month off and had another law enforcement mission, this time to enforce the Chelsea game, and Christina suddenly received a call, "Hello, is it Christina referee?" ”

"Yes, may I ask who you are?" Christina was very strange at this time, and suddenly such a strange phone call came.

"Hello, you can call me Luther, I'm a representative, a representative of some special aspects, the referee of the Premier League and we are old friends, and some of them are partners with us." The man on the other end of the line said in a steady voice.

And Christina is a little unexpected now, yes, any industry has its own dark side, referees are no exception, as far as Christina knows, there are indeed some referees and gambling and other gray income, and this qiē is generally not the referee and the relevant parties in direct contact because it is too risky, so it will be the same as other industries, there are special intermediaries, these intermediaries are well-connected, they are very familiar with many aspects, no wonder this Luther himself does not know, But you can get your own number. Christina thought to herself.

"Referee Christina, don't be nervous, I'm a person who talks about rules, I'm not here to ask you to do anything to destroy your future, can we talk to you face-to-face?" Seeing that Christina didn't speak directly, Luther hurriedly continued.

"Well, Mr. Luther, let's meet at the café I usually go to, you know where it is, right?" Christina still decided to meet, after all, where the other party is, you have to meet to know, and you can learn more about the specific situation when you meet.

"Okay, I'll be there on time." After deciding on the time and place, Luther first lay down on the bed and relaxed in his room at the Newcastle Hotel, and then began to recall Christina's information in his mind: "Christina Zhang, who became a referee at the age of 17, has a middle-class family, and her second career besides refereeing is advertising and commercial endorsement, and she is a high-income referee. Luther thought of this and understood that such referees should not directly participate in gambling because they are not short of money, after all, they are not short of money, but this does not mean that they can't cooperate in this business for some years, and it is not difficult for them to deal with various referees.

Christina chose a secret seat, ordered a cup of her favorite Blue Mountain coffee, she took a sip, and then looked intently at the door, a man in his forties was wearing a suit and a top hat on his head, looking very well-dressed, but for some reason, it felt very cold, Christina began to guess in her mind whether this man was the same Luther.

And the man who walked in the door came straight to Christina, he took off his top hat, bowed slightly to Christina, and whispered: "Hello, Judge Christina, I'm Luther happy to see you?" ”

Christina nodded and smiled, "Okay, what's the matter with you?" Christina greeted Luther more closely

Luther was a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a crisp black suit, spotless leather shoes on his feet, shiny brown hair combed into a large back, a handsome face, a very clean-shaven beard, and a bit of a successful businessman.

After sitting down and greeting Christina warmly, he took out a business card and said with a smile on his face: "I am very happy to see you Christina, and I am very happy to cooperate with each other in the future, this is my business card, if you have any needs in the future, please call the number above, I can provide you with any service." ”

Christina didn't react much to Luther's words, just nodded and put away the business card, but Luther smiled at Christina: "I'm right, no matter what you want, just look for me, I can provide any service, so be sure to put this business card away, but the only drawback of high-end service is that his fees are too expensive." ”

Then Luther laughed and said: "Compared to the high-quality service I provide, my fees are not expensive at all, and business is too difficult to do these days, so how dare I make my customers feel that they have suffered a loss, so Judge Christina can rest assured." ”

Christina also laughed and said, "Thank you very much, now let me see your project." ”

Christina is not the simple little girl she was at the beginning, she has experienced so many things, she also understands that there are unspoken rules in any industry, and she is indeed very disgusted with gambling, but Christina also understands that many referees have dealings with intermediaries like Luther, and she must at least know what this Luther does.

And Luther was not enthusiastic and didn't care about Christina's attitude at the beginning, he also had his own judgment on Christina before, and there are many different types of referees, Christina is the kind of referee whose own economic conditions are very good, so it is not enough to rely on money alone, and Christina also has her own backer in the refereeing committee, so the black whistle can't do it, but it's not without opportunities to cooperate, after all, the Premier League has an unspoken rule, which is to maintain the suspense of the Premier League, and there will be a so-called official whistle when necessary, That is, let the referee influence the results of some key games, of course, it is not a blatant manipulation of the game, otherwise public opinion, clubs, and fans will not be allowed to eat the referee, and the prestige of the league must not be swept away, so this bottom line can not be broken, and when it comes to the key games that determine the points at this critical moment, the bookmaker can control the handicap, and all aspects will have their own benefits, and when Luther introduced, Christina also understands that there is really room for cooperation, after all, Christina is not a saint, and there is no moral purity, as long as it is not the kind of goal that is blown off, people are obviously offside, blind and say no, this can not be done, but in some controversial judgments, the referee has a lot of room for manoeuvre, after all, the football referee has a huge discretion, this huge power, naturally it is noticed by the bookmaker, in fact, when football is developing in the world day by day, The role of the referee is still very important, but the development of the media and technology has also made it not so easy for the black whistle, think about it, those black whistles in the 02 World Cup, simply threw the referee's face into the Pacific Ocean, even the old immortal Blatter did not dare to blatantly argue, he has let those referees go home, and will not let them enforce the law in the future, and he has to give some compensation to the football associations of Spain, Italy and other victim countries.

Thinking of this, Christina spoke: "Mr. Luther, how will you cash in on my gains?"
