Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

After a while, the whistle for the start of the game sounded, and as the game progressed, the emotions of the fans at the scene also fluctuated.

Every attack, every shot, and even every foul would cause cheers or sighs from the audience.

Hao Qiang was also affected by the atmosphere. This was his first time watching a football match live. He was really excited and nervous.

Moreover, the prime ministers of both countries were present to watch the game.

Three minutes into the game, Italy launched a counterattack. Perrotta was tripped by Kyle. Totti took the free kick from 35 meters in front of the goal and shot with the outside of his right foot. The ball hit the opponent's defender and was confiscated by Lehmann.

In the 7th minute, Kroos was kicked down by Materazzi when he got the ball in the frontcourt.

In the first half, the German team did not have a single shot that hit the goal frame. Lukas, like the German fans around him, cursed but felt helpless.

Fortunately, both teams drew in the first half.

During the half-time break, Hao Qiang and Lukas went back to the box to drink coffee because it was too noisy outside the stadium.

"Lukas, don't be nervous, there's still the second half." Hao Qiang comforted.

Lukas sighed and said, "Hao, I don't really care about the lottery anymore. I just hope the country wins."

Hao Qiang shrugged, he did care.

After a fifteen-minute break, the second half of the game began.

In the 55th minute, Metzelder kicked No. 9 Toni from behind and was given a yellow card warning.

Italian fans were very nervous and cursed Metzelder, saying that if Toni got injured, the Italian team would be doomed.

Time passed slowly, and after 90 minutes of stoppage time, the game was still goalless and had to enter overtime.

"FUCK!"

When Lukas saw the result, he couldn't help but curse.

It ended in a draw, which meant that he lost all the 1000 million euros he invested.

The lottery ticket he bought was based on the results of the game within 90 minutes, not the final result.

"Lukas, there are wins and losses, that's normal," Hao Qiang consoled him. "There's still overtime."

If it were me, I would probably collapse. That’s 100 million yuan!

However, Lukas has more wealth, and this 10 million euros may be equivalent to only a few million yuan for Hao Qiang.

"Oh, yes." Lukas gave a wry smile and soon became open-minded.

It’s not like he hasn’t lost money before, but he lost 10 million euros in a game, which was a pretty bad loss.

Of course, he won more than 20 million euros in the early stage and is still in a winning state.

At this moment, he really just hopes that his country will win.

Unfortunately, during the extra time, China conceded two goals and ultimately lost.

Lukas sighed every time a goal was scored.

Deguo lost, which meant that he also lost the 500 million euros he invested in betting that Deguo would win the championship.

I felt a little bad after losing 1500 million euros in one go.

"Hao, I should have followed you earlier to make a small profit. It turns out that we cannot make subjective judgments." Lukas was very grateful to Hao Qiang in his heart. If it weren't for him, he would have lost even more.

Now, Italy has reached the final. If France can also reach the final tomorrow, he will win money.

Of course, he would rather Italy win, then he would win more.

It can be said that the two are now on the same front.

Hao Qiang wanted to laugh out loud when he saw Italy won.

However, he didn't dare laugh in front of Lukas and had to hold it in.

At this time, the fans at the scene were in grief.

If Hao Qiang laughed out loud, not to mention Lukas, the fans in Germany would probably beat him up for being a fake fan.

That night,

After Hao Qiang returned to his hotel room, he finally couldn't control his emotions, laughed out loud, and waved his fists a few times.

"Fuck, I finally won!"

Then he lay in bed, spread his arms, and fantasized about tomorrow night and the final on July 10.

The next day,

Lukas and Hao Qiang rushed back to Berlin.

The two did not go to Munich to watch the game that night. Munich is hundreds of kilometers away from Berlin and also far away from Dortmund, so the car ride was too tiring.

Instead, they gathered in Lukas' office, drinking red wine and watching the game.

Both of them hope that France will win.

In the 33rd minute of the first half, Henry received a short pass from Malouda on the edge of the penalty area, suddenly changed direction and flicked the ball with the outside of his right foot.

Carvalho stretched out his right leg to clear the ball but missed. After losing his balance, his left foot hooked onto Henry's right foot. Henry fell to the ground and Larionda pointed to the penalty spot!

Zidane took the penalty kick. He took only one step to run up and shot with his right foot into the lower left corner. Goalkeeper Ricardo judged the direction correctly, but the ball still touched his fingertips and went into the net. France took the lead 1-0!

When the goal was scored, Lukas and Hao Qiang jumped out to cheer and even hugged each other to celebrate.

“It’s in, it’s in!”

This was also the only goal in the first half.

Hao Qiang vaguely remembered that France won, but he didn't know the exact score.

If you know the score, you will win more by betting on the score.

So, if the game ends in a tie and goes into overtime, he loses money.

As time passed, the first half ended with the score 1:0. In the second half, neither side scored a goal. Hao Qiang watched the game nervously.

“verygood!”

As the whistle blew for the end of the game, Lukas and Hao Qiang high-fived to celebrate, with smiles on their faces.

France 1-0 Portugal.

Both of them won money!

This was the first time Hao Qiang won money from gambling. He won tens of millions of yuan in one go and felt that the money came so quickly.

No wonder those gamblers love to play so much.

To be honest, it is really exciting.

But if you lose, you will be devastated.

So, don’t touch it if you can.

The next day, at 10:00 a.m. local time on July 6,

Hao Qiang retrieved the semi-final lottery ticket from the bank safe and came to Lukas' company, where the two prepared to cash in the prize together.

SportWetten's business staff personally cashed the bonuses for Hao Qiang and Lukas and transferred them directly to their bank cards.

Hao Qiang applied for two Swiss bank cards to store his personal overseas funds.

He will return the company's overseas funds.

After a while, Hao Qiang's 100 million euros turned into 237 million euros.

Currently, 1 euro is equivalent to 10.138 yuan.

He checked his personal wealth and found that it had indeed skyrocketed by 1388 million yuan.

随即，两人又继续赌当地时间7月8日晚上8点，得国与葡萄国的3、4名决赛。

The odds offered by SportWetten are 1.70 for the German team to win, 3.10 for a draw, and 5.00 for the German team to lose. It is very obvious that everyone is optimistic about the German team winning.

Hao Qiang bet on Deguoying with chips of 230 million euros.

Lukas hesitated for a moment, but still followed Hao Qiang's lead, feeling that he was a lucky star. With 700 million euros in chips, he still dared to play big.

SportWetten is a behemoth. They made a lot of money betting on the German semi-final. There is no need for the two to change bookmakers.

Time flies by quickly.

Two days later, the competition ended.

The United States defeated the Portuguese country 3-1.

Hao Qiang's chips became 391 million euros, while Lukas' chips became 1190 million euros.

"Hao, you are really my lucky star. Fortunately, I bet with you." Lukas laughed heartily.

From 300 million euros to 1190 million euros, it almost made back the money lost in the semi-final.

"Lukas, no one can guarantee to win all the time. Maybe we will lose next time. If we lose, just don't blame me." Hao Qiang just smiled faintly.

If Hao Qiang was not sure that Lukas was still useful, he would never have dared to let Lukas follow him.

"Well, Hao, although you are young, you are very steady, which is very remarkable. Perhaps this is an excellent quality of Oriental people.

I believe that your future career will become bigger and bigger." Lukas praised and said, "Don't worry, I won't blame you if I lose.

If we just lose, we'll be unhappy for a few hours at most, but we're still business partners."

Hao Qiang nodded. It was because this guy was worth a lot of money and had no shortage of money. In addition, the two sides had a business partnership and he would not be greedy for his wealth, so he dared to play with him.

If it were an ordinary person, Hao Qiang would not dare to do that.

Of course, Uncle Lukas is crazy about football betting, but he can still distinguish the main from the secondary.

If he lost tens of millions of euros, just like Hao Qiang himself lost tens of millions of yuan, it would not seriously affect his career. He would make the money back in no time.

The World Cup comes every four years, and Lukas just wants to have a good time.

In the final, Hao Qiang plans to give it one last try.

Originally, he wanted to stop, but he couldn't help but want to continue betting.

So, he said, it is best not to play if you can avoid it, because once you start playing, it is easy to get addicted, especially when you know the outcome.

He vaguely remembered that the game was tied after 90 minutes and went into a penalty shootout.

Zidane was sent off during extra time, but I don't remember any other details.

The reason why Hao Qiang was able to remember these things is that he watched too many football games recently and suddenly thought of them.

He has nearly 4 million euros at his disposal, which is a little less. He will see if he can borrow some from Lukas.
