Chapter 16 World Cup
July 13th.
According to the World Cup schedule, today is the semi-finals, with Brazil vs. Sweden and Italy vs. Bulgaria.
Su Jingzhen knew that Brazil and Italy were sure to win, but what was the result of the game? I really forgot. You must know that Su Jingzhen was in his forties before he was reborn, and he had forgotten too much about what happened more than 20 years ago.
Lan Kwai Fong is the most famous bar street in Hong Kong. For such a grand event as the World Cup, of course, a large number of fans will flock to the bar to watch the football. Yuan Guanghua just wanted to take his nephew to see it tonight.
Who knew that he would find out the pit after he went there. Yuan Guanghua booked a private room early and was about to call his friends to come. When he brought Su Jingzhen into the door, he was warned by the waiter because Su Jingzhen was young and dressed relatively ordinary. As soon as he came up, he asked Su Jingzhen if he was twenty years old enough and asked him to take out his ID.
As a result, the pass shows that Su Jingzhen is only eighteen, which is a tragedy. Although the bar owner knows Yuan Guanghua, he has to beware of the special circumstances like World Cup match day. If he finds Su Jingzhen drinking, it is an illegal act. The bar owner will face the risk of revoking his license.
"Cousin, why don't I go back to the hotel directly and you can have fun together." Su Jingzhen didn't want Yuan Guanghua to break up with the boss, patted his cousin's shoulder, and directly said that he wanted to go back.
"How can this work? I agreed to bring you here to watch the football game tonight, and the room has been booked." Yuan Guanghua subconsciously wanted to refuse.
"I should go back after booking the house. You called all your friends. Could it be that I would cancel the happy hour tonight?" Su Jingzhen directly exposed the problem. He was not here, and his cousin could still drink and watch football with his friends. If he stayed behind, how could Yuan Guanghua solve this problem? It was simply unsolvable.
"Uh...then, that's not OK." Yuan Guanghua also had difficulty making a decision at this time. His friends had informed him that they would get together to drink tonight. Now, can't they really go back with Su Jingzhen, right?
"Just as I said, I will go back to the hotel by myself, and I can't buy a few cans of beer on the street? I often don't come back to check it out if I drink in the room. Cousin, please stay with my friend."
"Oh, this matter is a mess, I'll cut the taxi for you." Yuan Guanghua also figured it out, and he really asked Su Jingzhen to tell it right. This way of dealing with it was the best. He could only go out and help his nephew intercept the taxi. He wanted to open his rack and go back, but before he could say that Su Jingzhen didn't have a driver's license, so he had to walk to his nephew, hugged his shoulder and accompanied him out of the small slope of Lan Kwai Fong.
"Oh, it was my cousin's fault this time. They usually don't bring enough people in their 20-year-olds. Never had such a problem. Who knows this time..." Yuan Guanghua felt very embarrassed. Before he came, he bragged to his nephew, saying that Lan Kwai Fong is so fun and there are so many beauties at night. As a result, he doesn't know what to say now.
"It's okay, you can bring me here again after this period. Otherwise, we will come back next World Cup, and I will definitely be able to go in four years and will not be driven away."
"Oh, don't talk about four years later. What will you do in four days? That's the final, and the cat is in the hotel? No, I have to think of a solution." When Yuan Guanghua thought of the final day, he felt even more sorry for his nephew, because at that time, he probably wouldn't be able to go to the bar to watch the football as he is now.
Su Jingzhen didn't have as many ideas as Yuan Guanghua. He was now all in the game. He sat on the taxi and urged the driver to drive quickly so that he could hurry back to watch the game.
"Beautiful boy, isn't it to be a Lan Kwai Fong watching? What to do alone? There are so many beautiful girls in Lan Kwai Fong tonight, which is really a shame." In the car, the driver couldn't help asking curiously when he saw Su Jingzhen coming out of Lan Kwai Fong.
"It's not enough to win people out." Su Jingzhen replied in a depressed manner.
"Ha, the police will come to patrol the venue tonight. The bar owner will definitely not let someone like you who are not old enough in." The driver couldn't help laughing when he heard Su Jingzhen's answer.
"Well, I can only go back and watch it alone." Su Jingzhen obviously had no desire to chat with the driver. He replied coldly and stopped talking because he was thinking about the game.
The dealer's opening tonight's game is quite a bit weird, especially in Italy vs. Bulgaria. Italy gave up half of the ball, eight or five water, which means that the winner will be decided in 90 minutes, and if the draw is tied, it will be a failure.
This made many fans not choose because Bulgaria performed in previous games. After qualifying in the group stage, Bulgaria beat Mexico four-two and then beat Germany two-two. The result was not vague at all, and even better than Italy's results.
Because Italy only beat Nigeria 2-1, and then beat Spain 2-1. According to the previous results, Italy's defense has become worse and its offense has not improved. If Baggio hadn't been there, he would have been eliminated and returned home.
So the question is, if you buy Italy to win, you must play the game one-to-zero within 90 minutes to win. However, in such an important game as the semi-finals, if Bulgaria sets up a defensive team and Italy's attack is so pitiful, it is really hard to say that it can win. Everyone expects that this game will be tied, because Italy's chain defense is also very sharp.
This resulted in a large number of fans who were thinking about how to place bets in this game. Many fans bought the set Bulgaria, and they believed that Italy might take a defensive approach and drag the game to a penalty kick to determine the outcome. Bulgaria should not have the strength to break through Italy's defense. This is an idea.
Su Jingzhen was a little better than other fans, but he knew that Italy won this game, but what time it was? He didn't know.
However, this result has already allowed him to invest all his wealth. Italy won in 90 minutes, which means it is not a draw, and whether or not he can make the half-ball is meaningless to him.
As for another match against Sweden, Su Jingzhen gave up directly because he really couldn't recall how many goals Brazil won in the end.
His private money was 8,000 yuan, and his parents gave him 5,000 yuan before coming to Hong Kong. Last time, the red envelope given by his cousin was 10,000 yuan, and the money he could take out now was 23,000 yuan.
If you win, Su Jingzhen will get more than 19,000 yuan, plus the principal of 23,000 yuan, that is a little more than 40,000 yuan. Although this money is not much, isn't there a final?
If you win, you will be almost 80,000 yuan, and then you will have more confidence in entering the stock market.
When she returned to the hotel, Su Jingzhen couldn't wait to turn on the TV and wait for the TVB live broadcast...
ps: The score of the game is real, but I made a fool of myself when the dealer opened. The data has been too long and I can't find it.
