Chapter 5: Serendipity
The vigorous Stade de France was filled with a sea of blue.
This is Paris, this is France, this is the home of the Gallic roosters!
In the final of the World Cup, wild French fans showed their love and passion for football in front of the whole world, even if the opponent was the powerful Samba Army Brazil, even if the opponent was Ronaldo, who was known as the "alien", the French did not back down!
Prior to this, the French team had been difficult to be regarded as the world's top team, all the way from the group stage to the final, and became the biggest dark horse of this World Cup.
It can also be seen from the odds of ** company that the odds of the champion before the final are 0.5 to 1 for Brazil and 2.3 to 1 for France.
And the championship odds before the opening of the World Cup can prove that the Brazilian team is the biggest favorite to win the championship this year, the French team is a fish belly, the championship odds a month ago are 1 to 3.1 for the Brazilian team, and the French team is outrageous 1 to 78!
According to the statistics of the French newspaper "Team" before the game, more than 13 billion US dollars have been gathered in the championship pool of this World Cup final, and nearly 95% of the guessers have bet on the Brazilian team.
If you extrapolate from the odds drawn and the distribution of funds in the prize pool, the winner of this World Cup will be Brazil!
But in the eyes of one person, this is nothing more than a joke.
That's right, it's Meng Fei!
Meng Fei didn't buy expensive tickets to the finals to watch the game, but he did go to a large square not far from the Stade de France.
There was a large screen in the open air, where countless French fans in blue jerseys and blue oil paint painted on their faces gathered, at this time, there was a sudden "buzz" here, and then the whole square fell silent as if it were dead, completely different from the previous fans singing, dancing and celebrating wildly.
Desailly, the backbone of the French team, was sent off by the referee on duty, Berqueira!
Although the French team still relies on Zidane's two headers to lead 2-0, at the moment when Desailly was sent off, countless French people were still worried.
You know, the Brazilian team has a Ronaldo!
However, Meng Fei didn't seem to care.
"Chinese?"
Meng Fei was stunned for a moment, glanced to the side, it was a twenty-four or five-year-old yellow-skinned young man, and immediately smiled: "It's been a month since I came to France, and it's the first time I've seen my own people." As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and said enthusiastically: "My name is Meng Fei, what do you call it?" β
The young man was a little excited when he saw his compatriots in a foreign country: "It's really Chinese, hehe, my name is Cao Xiaoyuan." You said it's only been a month, so it won't be for the World Cup, right? β
"That's right, isn't Brother Cao?"
Cao Xiaoyuan waved his hand and said: "I studied here, I just graduated this year, if it weren't for this World Cup, the old man at home would have urged me to return to China." β
Meng Fei complimented: "It turns out that Brother Cao is a top student." β
"A high-achieving student with a fart! If you hadn't done too much trouble when you were young, how could you have been driven to this ghost place by the old man? Cao Xiaoyuan scolded and said.
Hearing this, Meng Fei smiled, his feelings were a gentleman.
"This French team is now playing one less, do you think the Brazilian team can overtake?" Cao Xiaoyuan put his arm on Meng Fei's shoulder, looking very arrogant.
Since the other party was a gentleman who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, and he couldn't be a helper for himself, Meng Fei's mind to make friends faded, and he said lightly: "Overtake? Impossible, in my opinion, if the Brazilian team continues to attack like this, Pelletti will definitely be able to score another one! β
Cao Xiaoyuan pushed Meng Fei and said angrily: "Don't crow's mouth, I can buy 10 francs of Brazil to win!" β
Meng Fei was a little angry: "100,000 is a fart, and I also bought 150,000 francs of France!" β
"Huh?" Cao Xiaoyuan was taken aback, "If this France wins, won't you be able to at least double the earnings?" β
Meng Fei pursed his lips and did not respond, but he was secretly sneering in his heart.
Earn double?
If I had to come to France for this little money, I would have gone to France to live in a small hotel and eat hamburgers and fries?
If you bet before the final, it is indeed double the profit, but I Meng Fei had a foresight, and I bet like a stud before the opening of the World Cup, and all the money was bought in France!
How much can you earn from this?
78 times!
Meng Fei calculated, even if the huge amount of taxes was deducted, there would be seven or eight million francs left, which would be more than 40 million when converted into RMB!
With this money, Meng Fei seems to have seen the birth of a media empire.
In these years, studying abroad is not as common as in the future, Cao Xiaoyuan finally saw a fellow and seemed very enthusiastic, Meng Fei knew that he was useless, and hurriedly coped with a few words and left the square.
And just after Meng Fei left on the front foot, Cao Xiaoyuan looked at the big screen in a daze, dumbfounded.
It's not that he lost 100,000 francs in a gamble, although it was a lot of money, but it was completely acceptable to him, but the ball game on the curtain was completely beyond his ability.
France scored again!
Forget about the goal, after all, the Brazilian team is crazy to counterattack, and such a result can be more or less predictable, but what shocked Cao Xiaoyuan was that the player who scored the goal was the Peletti mentioned by Meng Fei!
You know, Peletti is not a striker, but a defensive midfielder!
Cao Xiaoyuan was stunned, looking at the direction where Meng Fei's back disappeared and muttered, "This kid ...... Bunker up! β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Three days later, Meng Fei flew from Paris to Hong Kong.
It is very convenient to register a company in Hong Kong, far from the need for layers of approval and inspection like in the mainland, where you can easily have a company of your own as long as you have an identity certificate and proof of assets.
Hong Kong Feitian Innovation Investment Co., Ltd. was officially born, and Meng Fei is the chairman and general manager.
Now, of course, the investment company is just an empty shell.
It doesn't matter if it's empty, the key is to have a chairman and general manager position, and it's also a Hong Kong company! This is definitely a killer weapon in today's hinterland.
In his previous life, Meng Fei saw more than once that some companies led to the feet of foreign shell companies, and even some local governments could be deceived and swallowed the fate of state-owned assets being looted.
Of course, Meng Fei will not do anything illegal and undisciplined, but with this business card, it is his own face, and he can be looked down upon wherever he goes, and with Zuo Xiaojun's figure behind him, his business trip in Huicheng City will not be too bad.
Meng Fei wants to build a large media group, but this is obviously not something that can be achieved overnight, although he has a deposit of nearly 43 million yuan, but he rashly set foot in the entertainment industry, no fame, no relationship, no status, no influence, and he was absolutely deceived and lost his money.
You must know that there were countless wealthy Taiwanese businessmen who fell back then, and the most famous of them was director Wang Jiawei, the man in sunglasses, who was definitely an unprecedented god of the pit!
Anyway, Meng Fei is still very young, he is not in a hurry.
It was already evening when I returned to Huicheng, and when I took a taxi to get home, I saw a familiar figure at the gate of the community.
This is a tall girl, with an elegant face, a pointed chin that looks even more delicate and abnormal, her skin is as white as milk, delicate and white, she looks sven, looking left and right, as if she is waiting for someone.
Meng Fei didn't expect that he would meet his high school homeroom teacher, Qu Xiaoman, here.
Speaking of which, this is the first time the two have met in this life.
"Teacher Qu, why are you here?" Meng Fei's eyes secretly looked at Qu Xiaoman a few places, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Qu Xiaoman's eyes lit up when he saw Meng Fei, and a flash of surprise flashed on his face, and he didn't notice Meng Fei's slightly burning eyes at all.
"Meng Fei, you've been for nearly two months, where have you been? I'm about to look for all this Hui city, and I don't have a shadow of you. β
"I know there's something wrong with your family, but you can't even skip class! And the college entrance examination, why don't you even take the college entrance examination? β
"Do you know that if I hadn't helped you hide it from the school, you wouldn't even have been able to get your graduation certificate!"
"You big bag, you can't be traveling, right? You...... You're so headstrong! What about your university? Don't read it? β
"Meng Fei, you're talking!"
Obviously, Qu Xiaoman is a very responsible head teacher, looking at this posture, he should have been waiting for himself here for more than a month.
Meng Fei smiled bitterly: "Teacher Qu, you speak like a machine gun, I can't say it if I want to." β
"You!"
Qu Xiaoman was angry.
Meng Fei smiled: "Okay, okay, Teacher Qu will help me get the bag, let's go to my house and say." β
Qu Xiaoman didn't have a good face, glared at him, took the initiative to reach out and took the two travel bags, and then she was stunned for a moment, this ...... Is this Gucci? Didn't the magazine say that the brand is one of the most expensive luxury goods in the world?
After thinking about it for a while, Qu Xiaoman understood that this Meng Fei must have too strong self-esteem, and he went out to travel in order to look good, so he bought two fake bags to support the faΓ§ade.
When he went upstairs and opened the door, there was no breath of life in the house, and a shallow layer of dust had fallen on the floor, this scene couldn't help but make Meng Fei a little lonely.
Qu Xiaoman threw the bag on the floor casually, leaned against the door, folded his arms around his chest, and looked like a lecturer: "Let's talk about it, what's going on?" You don't even dare to take the college entrance examination? β
