Chapter 9 The World Cup Begins

Wang Jing is also a classmate of Li Yincheng. Xu Wenfeng started chasing her since her senior year, then four years of college and three years of graduate school. It was not until he started working after graduation that Wang Jing agreed to him that it took almost nine years to achieve the right result. Li Yincheng could only admire his obsession with not marrying him.

The sales of the quarterfinals of eight lottery ended on May 28. The newspaper statistics on the next day showed that the total prize money of the quarterfinals of eight lottery pool in the 2002 South Korea and Japan World Cup in this stage was 72912125 yuan; Li Yincheng calculated that he now has 22 lottery tickets, one 2 bets can earn about 6.6 million yuan, and one 20 bets can earn about 66 million yuan; excluding 20% ​​of the tax, the two can earn more than 58 million yuan in total.

Although it was not as many as Li Yincheng expected, more than 58 million had already made him dry and his heart beat faster.

After drinking two glasses of water, Li Yincheng slowly calmed down and handed the double lottery ticket to his family for the lottery draw. He asked his father to buy some land in the suburbs of the city, which would be several times more than a few years later. If he had tens of millions of dollars, he would be very comfortable in this small county town. Then he would set up a store in the center of the county town. In that case, he would work with his uncle, second aunt and third aunt to do some small business, and the lives of several families would be greatly improved; then he would open a larger Internet cafe with his third brother; his parents would basically not have to worry about their lives.

As for the twenty times, Li Yincheng took it himself and went to redeem the prize after the college entrance examination. The reason why he didn't get a lottery ticket was because Li Yincheng felt that he didn't have the turtle spirit and could convince his parents to hand over more than 50 million yuan in his management in a few words. Most of this part of the funds were used for investment. Due to the work industry, Li Yincheng remembered that Vanke's stock returns were quite good, so he could consider investing 100,000 yuan. In addition, when he was in college, his roommate bought some Chinese ships and made a lot of money, he could also consider it. Li Yincheng had never been aware of stocks and was not familiar with it. He dared to start easily. The remaining money was just enough to buy some real estate and wait for appreciation. It would be enough to leave a few million yuan around him to deal with temporary incidents. Ten years later

It is no problem to grow funds to more than one billion. It is enough to spend in this life. Anyway, Li Yincheng has never thought about buying private jets, playing football clubs, etc. to burn money. As for starting a business, Li Yincheng has come into contact with some big bosses worth billions at work. Their lives are busier than ordinary workers. The big boss of the company before he left the job, and the assets are in the top ten in Shu. His daily schedule is full, and he only sleeps for about four hours. After finally reborn, he has to work hard to work hard. It is unacceptable for a lazy person like Li Yincheng. You don’t have to worry about money, and enjoy life well. Things you want to do but don’t do in your previous life must be realized one by one in this life.

The end of the month was still a regular mock exam. After three months of familiarity and memory sharpening, Li Yincheng's scores were getting closer and closer to the predetermined goal. This time the total score reached 500 points, 108 points in Chinese, 38 points in mathematics, 124 points in English, and 230 points in liberal arts. If you perform well in the college entrance examination, you can basically achieve the expected goals.

On May 31, the World Cup officially opened. During the break, Hu Yang and Xu Wenfeng discussed where to skip classes to watch the Chinese team's game. Finally, they agreed to raise money to find a small hotel to watch the game. In the evening, the first game between France and Senegal started at the Shangyan Main Stadium in Seoul. The game started at the beginning of the game. Li Yincheng's heart was like a cat scratching. As soon as the bell rang, seven or eight boys quickly got up and rushed out of the classroom. The street at the entrance of the school was full of fast-moving students. From time to time, roars came from the street, "Who won?", "France lost 0:1!" Everything was going according to history, and Li Yincheng silently recited it.

Li Yincheng's home is closest to the school, so Hu Yang and Xu Wenfeng followed him to his house to watch TV. After arriving at home, they turned on the TV immediately. "It seems that Zidane's absence has a fatal impact on the French team. Let's review the process of the game first." Huang Jianxiang's voice came from the TV, and then a wonderful replay of the game.

Villott made a cross from the right, Trezeguet leaned against the defender and shot sideways 14 meters in front of the goal, but did not hit the front, and the ball went out of the left post. France's long pass from the backcourt, Trezeguet stopped the ball at the edge of the penalty area, and when he was about to make another move, goalkeeper Silva had already attacked him. Trezeguet slowed down at the foot and missed the opportunity to shoot. After Henry got the ball in the frontcourt, he turned around and passed it diagonally to Trezeguet on the edge of the penalty area. Trezeguet dunked over the defender and shot a curved ball with his right foot 17 meters in front of the goal, and the ball hit the right post.

The French team failed to capture for a long time and finally suffered bitter results. Djokaf made a mistake in dribbling in the midfield. Senegal's left-back Dave intercepted the ball and passed it. Diouf avoided Leboff's interception and broke through to the left bottom line and pushed the middle. Butters did not attack. Petty's left-footed pass was subconsciously blocked by Butters, and Diop, who fell to the ground, shot into the net. After that, the French team's full attack still had no rewards, and finally got the bitter results of losing 0:1.

The first defeat of the defending champion seems to indicate that this World Cup will be an unpopular event. The school has also begun to say optimistically that the Chinese team may have a chance.

On June 3, Brazil defeated Turkey 2:1 in the first game of Group C, and the Chinese team's game will be tomorrow.

The next day at noon, when class was approaching, Li Yincheng, Hu Yang and Xu Wenfeng went to a small hotel next to the school, "Boss, can you watch the World Cup in this room?" "No problem, there are the last three rooms, each room worth 60 yuan." After getting the key, the three of them ran upstairs and opened the door. In the small room, there was a bed with an old 18-inch TV.

The game officially started at 2:30 noon. The Chinese team performed well in the first fifteen minutes, and the rhythm was controlled well. However, after Sun Jihai was tackled and injured, the situation gradually became unfavorable. Hu Yang began to curse the culprit Solis. The first half ended 0:0, and Hu Yang and Xu Wenfeng clamored to analyze that the Chinese team had a chance in the second half during the break. Li Yincheng said silently. He was in a rather tangled mood at the moment, hoping that the Chinese team would win a miracle, but he did not want the result of the game to lose control and lead to his lottery being invalid.

In the second half, the Chinese team lost two goals in five minutes, quickly ending the suspense of the game. Although there were nearly thirty minutes left, judging from the consistent performance of the Chinese team, everyone had no hope for the result of the game. After watching for more than ten minutes, they could not see the hope of the Chinese team scoring. The three of them turned off the TV and checked out and returned to the classroom in depressed.

When I returned to the classroom, I happened to get off get out of class. When I saw them coming back, the people who stayed in the classroom asked, "What is the match?", "Did the Chinese team score a goal?"

Hu Yang slapped the table and said, "I was 0:2 when I left, and there were still ten minutes left, so I guess there was no chance."

There was a wailing sound in the classroom.

....................................................

In the second game, Li Yincheng did not skip class, Hu Yang and Xu Wenfeng went to open another room, and the Chinese team still did not create miracles and lost to Brazil four. In the last game, there was no one missing in the classroom. For Turkey, everyone has no hope for the Chinese team to win. The only wish is to expect the Chinese team to score a goal, but the final result proves that this is just a luxury.

On June 14, the group stages are all over, and the quarterfinals are announced:

Group A first Denmark second Senegal

Group B first Spain second Paraguay

Group C first Brazil second Türkiye

Group D first South Korea second United States

Group E first Germany second Ireland

Group F first Sweden second England

Group G first Mexico second Italy

Group H first Japan second Belgium

The Chinese team failed to score a goal and lost in all three games; thanks to Klose and the German team, their wonderful performance did not put the Chinese team in the dilemma of being at the bottom.

Next is the knockout stage of sixteen to eight. Whether you can get rich depends on the results of these eight games; Li Yincheng was more nervous at this time than looking at the Chinese team, for fear that the butterfly flapped his wings at will to change the result of a certain game.
