Chapter 12 Familiar Accountants
Bell was one of the BBC's correspondents to Athens to cover the Olympics.
For Bale, being sent to Athens, where you can watch the Olympic Games, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Aegean Sea, and get an outing allowance, is definitely a great job, and it is much better than staying in London in the twilight of London.
At the end of the day, Bell returned to his lodgings, made himself a cup of coffee, then sat down on a wicker chair on the balcony, picked up a newspaper, and began to enjoy his leisure time.
"Tourists buy Iraq to win 4 million in Portugal", there are always more than a dozen lucky winners every year!" Bell saw the news in the corner of the newspaper.
"A tourist from China made a big bet on Iraq's 4-2 win over Portugal and received a total of more than 4 million euros. God, how could anyone buy Iraq's 4:2 win over Portugal, this can't be a marketing ad for Spinach! Bell saw a small photo attached to the newspaper of a Chinese man receiving a check from the spinach company.
"Hey, how is this Chinese a little familiar, I must have seen him somewhere." Bell took a hard look at the photo. Perhaps the black and white color of the newspaper affected the quality of the photo, and Bell could not remember where he had seen the Chinese.
Bell picked up his coffee cup, turned around and went back into the room, opened his laptop, and went to OPAP's website, where he found the news.
The photos on the computer were much clearer than the newspapers, and Bell recognized it at a glance, which was the same Chinese he interviewed in front of the betting shop the other day. And Bale's interview was broadcast in the UK as early as two days ago. However, due to the proximity of the Olympic Games, various Olympic reports emerged one after another, and Bell's interview did not attract attention, and was soon buried in the news of the Olympic competition.
"It was him! Hell, shit luck! 4 million euros, enough for him to spend a few lifetimes in China. Iraq's 4-2 victory over Portugal will not be bought by anyone with a little brain. Wait a minute, could it be that this Chinese has obtained some inside information? The thought of a conspiracy theory crossed Bell's head.
Bell immediately dismissed his idea.
"No, even if there is inside information, it should not be known by a Chinese." It seems that this Chinese is either a spinach master, or shit luck, or it may be the magic of the East. By the way, I remember that day I didn't buy the Iraqi match against Portugal, but bought a Chinese athlete to win the 100-meter championship. ”
Bale immediately opened the official website of the Athens Olympics and found the profiles of all the men's 100m athletes in the track and field event.
"Haijian-Chen, this is a Chinese player. No, it wasn't that name at the time. Bell slid the page, then looked down.
"Guan-Zhang, yes, that Chinese bought him!" Bell clicked on the name, and the basic information and photos of the athletes were presented in front of Bale's eyes.
"What! This...... This is...... It's that bettor himself! Then he bought himself to win the championship before! God, that's crazy! What an idiot! Bell exclaimed.
But then, Bale found out that it was definitely very gimmicky news, and that a competitor who couldn't possibly win a medal had spent tens of thousands of euros betting on himself to win an Olympic title, which was definitely full of topicality. It's as startling as Mongolia suddenly spending 10 billion to build an aircraft carrier. More importantly, this contestant is a Chinese, according to the BBC's often black Chinese urine, Bell can fully play in the article to create highlights and attract the attention of the audience.
As for Zhang Guan's 4:2 win over Portugal in Iraq, he has long been left behind by Bale, and there are several cases in Europe every year about buying the unpopular and winning the jackpot, which can only show that people are unlucky, but it is not impossible to happen. It's like the good fortune of a gold prospector digging for gold in an abandoned gold mine.
Which of the two news headlines is more appealing, "Gold diggers dig gold in abandoned gold mines" or "Mongolia spends 10 billion to build an aircraft carrier"? Apparently the latter. Everyone knows that Mongolia has no sea at all. Which is more gimmicky, "an Olympic athlete bets on an underdog to win the lottery" or "a Chinese athlete bets heavily on himself to win the Olympic 100-meter championship"? Apparently the latter. Because the whole world thinks that Chinese cannot win the Olympic 100-meter championship.
At this point, Bell left his leisure time behind and began to write an earth-shattering report by his computer.
……
Fleggsquez is an accountant and his accounting firm has been working for OPAP for a long time.
And today, OPAP introduced an accounting firm to a business where a tourist had just made a huge sum of 4 million euros from spinach, which he needed to transfer out of Athens and pay as little as possible for the fee. Today is the day when Fleggsquees and the tourist agreed to meet.
To Fleggszkos's surprise, the tourist had agreed not to be in the center of Athens, but in a café in the open area of the Olympic Village.
"What a lucky one, if I'm not mistaken, this lucky one should be him!" As he thought, Flegskes walked into the café and asked the waiter, "I have an appointment, where is table 5?" ”
"It's over there." The waiter pointed in a direction, and Fleggskes turned his head to spot a face he had seen before.
"Sure enough, it's the Oriental." Fllegskes walked over and said, "Hello sir, I didn't expect us to meet again, my name is Varys-Fllegskes, and I am an accountant. ”
"yes, I didn't expect to meet again so soon." Zhang Guan asked the other party to sit down.
Fleggsquez was the same middle-aged man in a khaki suit who had previously analyzed how powerful Portugal was in the betting shop. So when Fleggsquez learned that someone had bought Iraq 4-2 Portugal, the first thing that came to mind was the Oriental man he had seen at the betting shop.
Fleggsquees ordered a cup of coffee and then said, "I didn't expect to witness a miracle that day at the betting shop!" I also tried to stop you from betting on Iraq, and it's good that you didn't listen to me. ”
'I've always been bullish on Iraq and I think they have a chance of getting to the last four. Zhang Guan said.
"Final four? Trust your judgment. I'm going to bet on Iraq to reach the semi-finals in a moment. Fleggskes spoke.
"It's just that now the odds for Iraq are much lower." Zhang Guan said with a smile.
Since Iraq's victory over Portugal, Spinach immediately changed the odds, and some people even analyzed that Iraq could win the championship, and now betting on Iraq is not as high as the odds a few days ago.
Subsequently, the two got to the point.
Zhang Guan was the first to speak: "Mr. Flegskes, I want to transfer this prize back to China. You know that I am a Chinese, and I still have to go back to China to spend the money I earned. But I don't know how to do it, so I need your help. ”
"Mr. Zhang, thank you very much for your trust. There are many ways to transfer your money to China. Fleggsquees lowered his voice and continued, "Of course, there are some special methods. ”
Zhang Guan knew that the so-called "special method" of Fleggsquees was inseparable from the money laundering of underground banks, so Zhang Guan immediately shook his head: "I need a legal way, even if it will cost some more fees." ”
"Yes, sir, we have many legal ways." "The first is to send money directly to an international electronic remittance, which can be sent to any bank in your country that has a foreign exchange business. However, you will have to pay a large processing fee. In addition, due to historical reasons, NATO is very strict about the large amount of money that is remitted directly to Russia and China. And as far as I know, there are restrictions on the settlement of foreign exchange by citizens of the country. Sometimes you can get into trouble, so I don't recommend going through this procedure. ”
Zhang Guan nodded: "You are right, our country has no limit on the amount of overseas remittances and inward remittances, but there are restrictions on foreign exchange settlement, and one person is worth 50,000 US dollars a year." ”
"In addition to this, there is a second way, and that is to bring money to your country in the form of trade through a foreign trade company. We can find you the right trading company, but this method is more complicated, you know that the foreign trade settlement cycle will be longer, and if the exchange rate changes, you may suffer losses, and may even exceed your normal remittance fee. After Fleggsquez finished speaking, he picked up his coffee and took a sip, and saw that Zhang Guan did not ask any questions, so he continued.
"The third way is through the UK. Send money from Greece to the UK first, since the UK and Greece are both EU countries, there is no problem in cross-border remittances; And then transfer the money to Hong Kong through multinational financial companies, you know that due to historical reasons, there are very few financial restrictions between the UK and Hong Kong, and now there are a lot of companies in the UK that do this business; Finally, you need to open an account in Hong Kong, transfer money to your account, and you're good to go. Hong Kong is the financial center of Asia, and there are very few restrictions on the settlement of funds. It's fast, convenient, safe, inexpensive, and hassle-free, so I highly recommend it. ”
"Okay, that's the third option, but I'd like you to wait a little longer before you do it." Zhang Guan immediately replied.
"Why?" Fleggskes asked.
"Don't forget that I also bought the Iraqi team to reach the semi-finals. Maybe in a few days, I'll have another big bonus. Zhang Guan said with a smile on his face.
