The winter snow in the downhill col is thick and soft, pressing on the grass eaves of the gatehouse, simple and beautiful.

At this time, Wu Ning'an sat in the courtyard and made a few cups of tea to pay tribute to his friends.

"Wu Xiaobei!"

There was a loud shout outside the courtyard, and I saw a man in a fancy costume hurrying in majesticly.

"Watching football is not called Lao Tzu? You're a fucking chicken thief! ”

"Crazy?" Wu Ning frowned, and subconsciously swept towards the two friends at the same table.

hurriedly got up and rushed over to meet Tang Yi, grabbed his arm, and whispered in his ear:

"Brother, don't call it a mix!"

"Ugh." Tang Yi was stunned for a while, only then did he realize that Wu Ning still had guests here.

"Who?"

Before he could finish speaking, he just saw the two people in the courtyard, and he was immediately furious, and shouted again:

"Okay, you Wu Xiaozi, dare to dig into the corner of your brother!? This...... Isn't this Lao Tzu's book friend? Why did you get here!? ”

"Ahem."

Wu Ning suddenly felt that he was at a loss, and cleared his throat in embarrassment: "It's all brothers, it's all brothers!" Brother Feng Lin and Huolu just happened to travel to Datang, just went to Fangzhou, just in time for the World Cup, just ......"

"Brother, I said so much 'just right', you must believe it, right?"

"I believe you're a big-headed ghost!" Tang Yi glared and shouted angrily.

Among the special brothers, this grandson is the most chicken thief, otherwise everyone wouldn't call him Wu Xiaobei.

Pull up the maple forest and the old stove and leave, "Let's go, let's go to Da Song to watch the game, it's a hundred times stronger than his thatched shed!" ”

Fenglin and the stove were speechless for a moment, smiling bitterly, breaking free from Tang Yi's entanglement.

"I said Zihao, when it comes to fighting, killing, and going crazy, your instinct and my brothers still approve of it. However, speaking of the overall situation and judging the situation, it still depends on Lao Jiu's wit! ”

"What are you going to do with Da Song? Don't you lose all your money? ”

As soon as Wu Ning heard that Fenglin and the stove were helping him speak, he was very happy, and took the opportunity to pull Tang Yi to the banquet.

"Sit down, you!"

Not without disgust: "Where do you see it? Isn't it the same when watching football in my Datang? With brothers, you will win! ”

"No......" Tang Yi blushed, "I'm not convinced, huh?" So tell me, who did you bet on Portugal vs. Spain yesterday? ”

Hearing this, I saw the old stove spread his hands, "I bought a flat one, just make a little profit." ”

"Ugh." Tang Yi was speechless, do you dare to buy it?

Brother Fenglin fell into reminiscences: "I was still a little conservative, I only bet on Portugal in half of the game, and I chased the big ball in the second half, which is okay.... Yes. ”

Tang Yi: "......"

I almost didn't cry, Iberian Derby, you dare to bet big?

looked at Wu Ning, "What about you?" ”

I saw Wu Ning pouting helplessly, "Too poor, I can only speculate and fight big, buy the score, 3:3"

“what？”

Tang Yi was even more calm, "Did you ask Qi Lei for help?" How else do you know the score is 3:3!? ”

Wu Ning was even more stunned when he heard this, "Do you still use Qi stones for this matter?" Without him, only Zhier. ”

Speaking of which, Wu Ning analyzed it for Tang Yi.

"First of all, you have to understand two things."

"That is, the World Cup is a national honour, but it is also business. Even if you don't want to admit it, it's the commerciality that has survived and become one of the biggest sporting events in the world. ”

"Therefore, the success or failure of the game is not only a competition of strength, but also a competition between countries, but also a commercial continuation."

"Secondly, in today's football market, a player can transfer tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions. Jersey advertising also starts at a million euros and is not capped. Do you think there is that much business value? ”

"If you were the owner of a big company like Coca-Cola and Pepsi, would you spend tens of millions of euros to print a logo on your jersey? Isn't that too low? ”

"Moreover, the operation process of the European football market is generally like this, and the big companies almost sign contracts with agencies for football market advertising, rather than signing contracts with teams and players."

"And the crux of the matter lies with this agency."

When Tang Yi heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, "In that case, this agency is quite profitable." ”

How many major leagues in Europe, how big is the market? There's a lot of business in there.

"Wrong!" Wu Ning shook his head and denied it.

"On the contrary, these agencies are losing money. They buy players and advertisements for tens of millions of dollars, and then sell them to big companies or teams at a low price. ”

"Why!?" Tang Yi didn't understand, "Who will do a loss-making business?" ”

"Losing money?" Maple Lin couldn't help but smile.

While holding up the teacup, he sneered: "William Hill, Ladbrokes and other behind-the-scenes giants don't know how much they have earned, but they can still afford this little money." ”

“！！！！”

Tang Yiden was taken aback, and finally understood what Wu Ning was talking about.

"What does Brother Fenglin mean is that William Hill and Ladbrokes are the big financiers of the entire European football market?"

It's true, football is a competitive sport, but it's business that matters.

Although no one wants to admit it, gambling is still the fattest piece of meat in this business.

Tang Yi suddenly realized: "You mean, the bookmaker controls the game?" ”

I heard Wu Ning say: "Do you still need to control it?" When the players of the whole Europe are eating the benefits of others, everyone has to read someone else, right? The money spent on you, you have to be earned, right? ”

"Look at the grouping of Portugal and Spain, there is no suspense for these two teams to qualify, what are you waiting for if this game is not played for you?"

"Everyone knows that Spain is stronger and has a slightly bigger chance of winning, and everyone thinks that the gap between the two teams is not big, and Spain's defense is another iron bucket."

"Everyone thinks that Portugal has only one Cristiano Ronaldo and can't score too much. If you really play according to your strength, according to this result, then the special bookmaker would have gone bankrupt a long time ago! ”

"Moreover, only a draw makes this group more operable."

"These two teams played at such a high level and Morocco lost to Iran, so ......"

Wu Ning raised his eyebrows, "Then it's not a piece of cake when you play Morocco?" Everyone bet on Spain and Portugal again. ”

"But what if it's even?"

Wu Ning smiled meaningfully, "Anyway, it won't affect the qualification." ”

"Day!!" Tang Yi scolded.

"Then they won't make a lot of money!?"

"That's right." Feng Lin smiled and spread his hands, "This is a football game, sometimes it has nothing to do with strength. ”

"Got it!"

Tang Yi nodded heavily, "It's worthy of the military advisor Wu Xiaobei, you have the most ideas!" ”

Wu Ning accepted it calmly, and stepped forward to comfort him, "Follow my brother and take you to eat meat!" ”

Tang Yi didn't speak, quietly took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone of his baby daughter Tang Yu.

"Little Sugar..."

...

"You help Daddy with something first."

...

"William Hill, Ladbrokes, and which dad doesn't remember, you check the Internet yourself and buy all these companies for your father."

....

"That's right! Right now! ”

....

"In addition, you send a telegram to Yelu Hongji and ask him to lead the troops to fence off the World Cup stadium for me!"

....

"Well, tell your mother, and I'll go back."

Hanging up the phone, Tang Yi slowly got up. looked at Wu Ning, then at the maple forest and the stove.

"What's that......"

"Go ahead, I'll go first."

"Wait a minute!!" Maple Forest shouted hurriedly.

"This, this..."

"Datang has had enough... Let's go, I'll go with you to Da Song for a walk. ”

"Go together, go together!"

The stove also stood up, "It's still too cold in Fangzhou, let's go to Yazhou to bask in the sun." ”

As they spoke, the three of them talked and laughed, and they were discharged from the hospital side by side, leaving only Wu Ning standing in the courtyard in a daze.

"That's enough....."

"Bullying?"

Turning around in a daze, I saw the ugly uncle coming out of the room.

Wu Ning grinned, "Uncle...."

"You ask for more blessings, I went to the Great Song Dynasty with a madman."

As he spoke, he was about to run after Tang Yi.

"Brother Tang, wait for me!"

But as soon as he ran to the gate of the courtyard, he saw a big foot suddenly stretched out from the void, and kicked Wu Ning back with one kick.

"Go back!"

"If you don't finish your business, don't even think about going!"

.....

————————————

It's pure personal speculation, just for everyone's fun.

To commemorate the early morning of June 16, 2018, the passionate World Cup with Fenglin Mulberry and the old stove!
