Chapter 196
Time flies.
You don’t feel that the days of making money go by slowly.
One week later.
After the quarter-finals in the first two days.
Of the 32 teams in this World Cup, only four remain now.
They are France, Portugal, Germany, and Argentina.
Four teams.
All are traditional football powerhouses.
Except for Portugal, all of them have won the World Cup.
The semi-final matchup is Portugal vs. France.
Germany vs. Argentina.
In the two semi-finals, Jiang Shu and He Wei, the two commentators, have another commentary task.
It is the match between Germany and Argentina.
After the CCTV Sports Channel announced on the official blog that Jiang Shu would be the commentator for this match, the comment section below was basically full of people celebrating. The reason is simple. The more games Jiang Shu commented on, the more money they could make. This took about ten days. Thanks to Jiang Shu, the master of toxic milk, who did it again and again in the World Cup. They, the domestic fans and spectators, were frantically harvesting foreigners' money on the gambling platform. They made a lot of money. Some people who used to be ordinary workers with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan have now become local millionaires. Some patients with uremia who had to wait for death in bed because they had no money before have earned the money to replace their kidneys. Some young men who had no house or car before and were ignored in the blind date market directly bought a small villa and picked up an Audi A6. It can be said that in less than half a month, some people have become ordinary workers with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan. I don’t know how many millionaires have been born in China.
"Wuhu, take off!"
"Hahaha, great. Two nights later, Jiang Shu can make me happy again!"
"Human ambition is really like a rolling stone falling from a mountain. Once it starts, it will never stop!"
"I planned to stop after making one million, and I have made enough now. But... seeing that Jiang Shu will comment on the semi-final between Germany and Argentina, I can't help but want to bet again!"
"CCTV, I'm begging you on my knees. Jiang Shu must be the commentator for the final of this World Cup!"
"The sack has been bought, and I'm ready to pick up the money in two days!"
"Family members, who understands. I only learned about Jiang Shu's brilliant performance in this World Cup yesterday. Is it too late to join now?"
"I only hate that I saved too little capital in the past few years. Now I can only watch the big guys who have hundreds of thousands of start-up funds and have made tens of millions silently shed tears of envy!"
Under the discussion of netizens
#Jiang Shu as the commentator of the World Cup semi-final# This topic quickly rushed to the top of the hot search list.
Since the start of the World Cup.
This is the nth time that topics related to Jiang Shu have rushed to the top of the hot search list.
During the World Cup, Jiang Shu was the most popular star in the entire entertainment industry.
No one else.
The second one was the kind that even Jiang Shu’s car exhaust could not be seen.
I can only say.
Everyone has become numb to seeing Jiang Shu’s name appear on the hot search list.
When and when.
If you don’t find Jiang Shu’s name on the hot search list.
Everyone will be surprised.
…………
Two semi-finals of the World Cup.
The first one started was the match between France and Portugal.
After more than 90 minutes of fierce battle.
Portugal finally eliminated the runner-up of the last World Cup, France, with a one-goal advantage, 3 to 2.
After many years, it has entered the final of the World Cup again.
It is worth mentioning.
Portugal's three goals, two of which were scored by Cristiano Ronaldo, a veteran in his forties.
Even if a hero is old, he is still a hero.
He is the soul of a team.
Cristiano Ronaldo now does not have enough physical strength to play the whole game.
But he still uses his own way to release the last remaining heat on the court.
After the first game of the semi-finals.
Fans around the world focused their attention on another game in the semi-finals.
Germany vs. Argentina.
It was also a tit-for-tat game.
No side can be said to win the other side.
It was another 50-50 game.
So, on the gambling platforms of various countries,
, both sides basically have a 1:2 odds, and the difference is very small.
This makes everyone bet more cautious.
In fact.
As the game schedule progresses, the number of games is getting fewer and fewer.
The originally scattered gambling funds began to gather together.
Because fans have no other games to bet on.
Starting from the first game of the quarter-finals.
In each game, the gambling funds invested by fans are an extremely large number.
For example.
Even a small country like South Korea.
In the semi-final between France and Portugal.
The gambling funds invested by fans are 200 billion won, which is equivalent to 1 billion yuan.
South Korea has 1 billion yuan, and the numbers of other countries are even more terrifying.
It can only be said that no matter what era, there is always no shortage of gamblers in the world.
…………
Just when fans from all countries except Chinese fans were betting cautiously.
The United States, the capital of Washington.
In the headquarters meeting room of an underground casino.
Several casino executives are plotting a big thing.
Their casino not only faces gamblers in the United States, but also faces people all over the world.
In the world.
They are all ranked among the top three large underground casinos.
The daily turnover exceeds billions of US dollars.
Betting on football, as a popular gambling activity worldwide, is naturally within the business scope of their casinos.
And these underground casino executives gathered together today to discuss the matter of betting on football in this World Cup.
"Hillman, how is the progress of the matter you reported to me two days ago?" An old man with wrinkles and a gloomy look sitting in the main seat slowly asked a middle-aged man.
This old man is the big boss behind this underground casino, Jesse Bourne.
He is the elder brother of a general in the US military.
Facing the boss's inquiry, the subordinate named Hillman spoke respectfully,
"Mr. Bourne, there is no problem. The two Argentine players have been successfully bribed by us."
"Each of them was given 50 million US dollars. They have promised to play a fake match in the semi-final against Germany two days later and deliberately lose the game!"
That's right.
Under the instruction of the big boss Bourne.
Hillman contacted the two starting players of the Argentine national team and offered a huge amount of money as a bribe.
The two starting players could not resist the temptation of this money offensive.
They agreed to Hillman's request.
In the game against Germany two days later, they played a fake game and deliberately lost the game.
