Chapter Thirty-Nine: Alone in the Tiger's Den
Most of the players recruited by the national youth team are reserve teams and second-tier players of various clubs, many young people are not particularly good at socializing, like these 4 players from Guangdong who have been firmly in the main force are still rare, coupled with the special status of teenagers, everyone has a little bit of the taste of the stars holding the moon. The dinner arranged by the Football Association made the teenager who had planned to meet some young talents bored, and went back to his room early to rest.
It was estimated that it was almost half past eight, and the young man was wondering why Datou hadn't come back yet, when Li Weifeng and Wang Peng pushed the door in. The two glanced at each other, and then Li Weifeng said to the young man: "Bourne, how can anyone come in the hotel of this training center." When the boy heard this, he estimated that something was wrong, so he asked the two of them to tell them what the situation was. It turned out that when everyone went back to the room after dinner just now, there were a few people in the hotel lobby who were wearing sportswear but didn't look like athletes. These people went to the side of the players who were gathered together and muttered and didn't know what to say, but they saw a few players receiving a small card, and a few hesitating to take it or not. Just before going back to the room for the night's check-in, the players who had received the cards slipped out of the stairwell after signing in. Hearing this, Li Byrne had already roughly guessed what these people were doing. I just didn't expect them to blatantly do business in the training center, and it can be regarded as a bit capable, it seems that there are still people above it.
The young man turned over and got off the bed, and said to Wang Peng and Datou: "Let's go, take me to find someone who just picked up the card but didn't go." The two hurriedly agreed, and the three of them ran to room 411 in the back, found someone to get a business card, and then returned to the room. The boy pinched the front and back of the small card and looked at it, this was simple enough, there was nothing, so he printed a phone number. So the boy took out his mobile phone and dialed it back: "Hey, hello, are you all gone? I couldn't hold back and went back to the room to poop just now, and I said I was going to go with two teammates after the pull, but I couldn't find anyone when I came out. Do you still have to connect?"
There was a moment of silence, and then a voice came: "There is a big tree north of the east gate, and the wall behind the tree is half a short section. The license plate number Jing A wants to send you to go. Wait for you for 15 minutes." After speaking, he didn't wait for the boy to answer, and hung up the phone. Li Boen said to Wang Peng and Datou, "You two are here, I'll take a look. There shouldn't be any danger."
Li Weifeng was not happy, and said to the young man: "Then where is it, you have to go together, and you will take care of everything. I guess these guys are gambling. That thing definitely won't be a good person, if you have to go by yourself, I'll report to the leader now."
The young man knew that Li Weifeng was righteous, but it was really difficult to take them with him. The point is that you can't explain this thing in the future. So it is inconvenient to say that there are many people who go, and it is easy to show the stuffing. After persuading the two of them, the boy ran out of the stairwell, reached the base of the wall behind the tree that the man on the phone said, and then turned over. When I went out, there were several vans parked outside, and the back doors of several of them were ajar, and I could see the little girl in cool clothes inside. Hey! There are all kinds of people who eat all the way outside this door.,Just look at it this way.,There's no less to pull guests from the training center. Don't say it, these people are really looking for a place to do business, all year round here are arranged for youth training to stay in a centralized manner, they give a little benefit, dress up as athletes to go in and hand out cards, and drive outside at night to wait. If you want to say that this young man doesn't like to play, so there are really a lot of people who sneak out at night, and over time this has formed a one-stop industry.
After turning around the street for a while, Li Byrne saw a car parked 100 meters away in the opposite direction behind him, with a license plate of 34197.
Walking to the door of the car, this is a Toyota Previa, which was sold very well in the 90s, which is also known as the Toyota bullet. There is one person in the front driver's seat and one person in the co-pilot, and a big man in the back seat, and there is exactly one seat left. The boy got into the car and sat down, and the big man in the back who looked fierce "dua."
g" closed the door, then took a black cloth from the passenger seat, and angrily snorted at the young man, meaning that he had to be blindfolded to leave, and the young man had to do so. The car drove for nearly an hour, and when I got out of the car and took off the blindfolded rags, I don't know which small broken village it drove to. After the door of a small farm yard was checked that there were no dangerous goods with him, the teenager was allowed to enter.
After entering, I found that this courtyard has 7 rooms. Li Byrne went to the largest room first, where there were eight or nine tables, respectively placed with different gambling items, observed for a while, and found that the players of this training camp were also the four who received the cards, and these four were busy betting and did not notice Li Byrne. The boy found this place, don't say it, it's quite rich in things to play with. At this time, a steward came and asked him how many chips he had to change, and the card given by Commissioner Cai was still in his pocket in the afternoon, so the boy said to change 100,000 first. When the steward heard it, hey, this is still a big customer, and it's 100,000. So he said to the young man with a little stammer: "Boss, why don't we go to the next room to play?" It's all a little bit of a fuss here, and a whole house tossed around for a night may not be without your Carrido."
"Okay, let's go."
I changed the room and found that several people inside were playing at 21 o'clock. After this spread from Hong Kong to the mainland, mahjong and pai gow became the most popular table games. After sitting at the table, Lee Byrne never played, and occasionally won two, but he still lost more than he won. In less than 1 hour, 200,000 lost a clean loss. The boy told the dealer that he had lost all of it, and he would come back next time.
Sure enough, as soon as I heard that the young man was about to leave, the person in charge came again, and said to Li Boen with a wicked smile: "It's okay, isn't it 200,000. Come on, come on, our boss, die-hard fans, he said let's make a friend, and give you another 200,000, the most important thing is that you must have fun."
The young man smiled and said calmly, "Okay, then thank you boss." So I took the chips, went back to the table and started playing again. This time he lost faster, and Li Byrne pretended to be in a hurry to turn over the book, and the steward came over to appease him again, and sent 200,000 chips again. The boy didn't say much, he just took it all as it was, thinking to himself that I would see how much you could give me. If you lose two more times, I'm afraid that the fox's tail will be exposed.
That's it, from entering the hospital to losing a full 1 million, it took less than two and a half hours before and after. This time, the housekeeper finally stopped talking about giving chips, but invited the boy to go with him to meet the boss.
As the steward came to the largest room facing the courtyard gate, the boy entered the room and found that it was a large room, but as soon as he entered the door, there was a large round table, and then the whole room was divided into three parts by screens on both sides. As the steward came to the cubicle on the left, he saw that the four young players from the training team had just signed a piece of paper and pressed their handprints. The one at the head saw Lee Byrne and was surprised and said, "Why are you here too. Alas." sighed probably because he knew the identity of the boy, and he felt that compared to himself, the boy would have to suffer a big loss if he lost.
There is a desk in front of him, and on the boss's chair behind him sits a Sven-looking gold-wire glasses that looks like he is in his early 30s. While the boy looked at him, the man also looked the boy up and down.
Li Boen opened his mouth and said: "The boss is good-looking, he deserves to be so generous, and this chip is worth millions of people as soon as he gives it away." The gold-rimmed glasses sitting across from him smiled: "Make a friend! My butler also said, I like to watch football. So you see, I'm very polite to my friends in the national team. You're having fun with me, too. Then we had a good time, drank tea together, and talked about making a fortune together in the future. It's not in vain to come all the way."
"Oh? Get rich together? How? I'm interested in that, so let's hear about it." After speaking, the young man was not polite, and pulled a chair and sat opposite the boss.
"Good manners! It is worthy of being the master of hundreds of thousands of flowers that do not change color, I think compared to a few of them, you are a person who can make a lot of money" After the boss finished speaking, the four young players looked at each other with strange faces, thinking that you are not talking nonsense, people Li Boen plays football purely as a hobby, and is worth at least hundreds of millions of dollars.
The young man smiled, and then said: "I see, the boss's wishful thinking is good, compared to such a small gamble, he may not be able to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars in a busy night. Find a few kicking coercion and temptation, and when the league starts, you can find some gamblers here to open a periphery, and just get a game or two to manipulate more than a few million."
The boss's eyes lit up and said, "Yo, I didn't expect my brother to be Men'erqing! Then I don't need to say more, come on, you can sign this paper contract too. We can't compare to the big bosses in the south, but this year in the mainland, it can be regarded as the only business. In the future, there will be something that everyone earns."
"Hahaha." The boy laughed, and the boss couldn't understand it now. Lee Byrne continued: "What a big boss should I be, you can't do it! Well, I don't have time to play with you anymore, are you going to turn yourself in at the Public Security Bureau, or are you going to call the police?"
When the boss heard this, he was about to call someone, and the young man took out a five-four pistol from his pocket. The boss hurriedly raised his hands above his head and said with a trembling mouth: "Dude, don't be kidding. Where do you eat, brother..."
"Long-winded, you four go and tie him up and gag him." The four young players swallowed, hurriedly went up and tied the boss tightly, and then I don't know who took off the socks they were wearing and stuffed them into the boss's mouth. The smell is sour, looking at the smelly and long football socks circling in the boss's mouth, the young man silently felt sorry for the boss for three seconds.
When the people were tied up, looking at the shivering young people, the young man smiled, and the May Fourth pistol in his hand was gone. "Don't you know what my company does? This thing, fake, is a projection. We are good law-abiding citizens."
These young men hurriedly said with smiling faces: "Mr. Li is mighty."
At this time, Li Bern said to a few people very seriously: "It is nothing for young people to be fun, but they must be restrained and understand what they cannot touch. Be a principled person, if I don't come today, think about it yourself, in the future, if you are still a professional player, you have to let people grasp the handle and live a frightened life every day. Think for yourselves, is this what you want?"
"Brother Li, we know it's wrong. Can you not tell the leader about today's incident, or our future will be gone."
looked at these few, they were not famous players, and they had never heard of these people in the news of gambling and other things that broke out in later generations, so the young man said to a few of them: "Okay, tomorrow you go to report to the leader and quit this training camp, I'll help you cover this matter. But don't let me hear about you messing around with any more nonsense. Playing football well, you may earn less now, but I promise you, in a few years, the good days will come. Stick to your heart!"
Several people said yes again and again, the teenager called the police, because he controlled the boss at the first time, and when the police entered the yard and began to arrest people, the whole gambling person was considered to have let the pot end. Originally, the police planned to set up a model for the teenagers, but Li Byrne refused, and asked the police not to mention a few people when they reported it. In addition, it is also suggested that the police can dig to see if there is anyone in the training center who has anything to do with the boss.
After dealing with this side of the matter, the teenager was sent back to the training center along with the four players. Back in his room, Li Weifeng hurried up and asked what happened from Li Bern's mouth. The boy finished telling the story here, washed up and lay down and fell asleep. Leng stayed up until more than four o'clock before falling asleep, and kept muttering about why he didn't insist on such a heroic thing at that time.
Fortunately, the next day it was just a gathering and a car to the training base in Qinhuangdao, because the four players took the initiative to withdraw from the training camp, and the teenager asked the Football Association to select a few people from the players who went to Europe to make up for it, and this matter was not announced to the public.
In the afternoon, the bus arrived at the training base. After many twists and turns, it is finally time to officially start the preparation for the Asian Youth Championships.
