Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

On the morning of July 9th, local time,

Hao Qiang and Lukas cashed in their lottery winnings.

While the salesperson from SportWetten was still there, Hao Qiang and Lukas took a look at the odds offered by the company.

Italy wins at 2.50, draws at 2.85, loses at 2.90, and this is without handicap.

The odds offered by each bookmaker are slightly different and are adjusted based on the player's betting situation.

Before placing the bet, Hao Qiang discussed it privately with Lukas.

"Lukas, I'm planning to go all-in and bet €400 million on a draw. If it's convenient for you, I'd like to borrow some money from you by mortgaging the goods, then switch to another bookmaker and continue betting."

"Hao, are you really sure?"

"I'm not 100% sure, I just want to give it a try. Anyway, it's the last one, so I won't regret losing." Hao Qiang smiled.

"Yeah, you're right. I've won a lot of money now, so it's a rare opportunity to play. Just have fun." Lukas agreed. After a moment's thought, he said, "The most I can lend you is 6 million euros. I don't have much money on hand."

Lukas thought it was no big deal to lend Hao Qiang a few million euros because he helped him make money.

Of course, the mortgage contract still needs to be signed.

"Thank you."

Hao Qiang said happily, Lukas is such a good person.

After the two men had discussed it, they first placed bets at SportWetten. Hao Qiang bet 400 million euros on a draw, and Lukas followed suit by betting 500 million euros.

Subsequently, Hao Qiang and Lukas signed a cargo mortgage contract for 2 F1 cars, with a delivery period of one year and a contract value of 612 million euros.

After signing the contract, Lukas called the business teams of three other bookmakers.

Hao Qiang continued to bet, still betting on a draw, with an average odds of 2.80.

Lukas also continued to bet 10 million euros and also bet on a draw.

After the two people finished betting, the bookmakers lowered the odds of a draw.

In the end, Hao Qiang bet a total of 1012 million euros on a draw, while Lukas bet 1500 million euros.

If Lukas is sure, he probably has more than just these chips.

Now, he follows Hao Qiang and believes in Hao Qiang's luck. After all, Hao Qiang has won consecutively, and he also won by betting accordingly.

When it comes to team analysis, Lukas feels that Hao Qiang's analysis is very logical and he is familiar with the situation of each player on the team.

After placing the bets, it was already noon.

After having lunch with Lukas, Hao Qiang took some time to keep his lottery ticket in the bank safe. After the game, he would cash in the lottery ticket in batches to ensure the safety of the funds.

By five o'clock in the afternoon, the bookmakers had stopped taking bets.

The final will be held at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin at 7pm tonight.

Before Hao Qiang and Lukas even reached the stadium, they could already hear the cheers of fans along the way, many of whom were singing the national anthem.

Outside the stadium, no less than 200,000 fans gathered.

Many fans who could not buy tickets or did not have enough money to buy tickets could only watch the live broadcast on the big screen outside the stadium to support their team.

Hao Qiang and Lukas were not wearing jerseys, but casual clothes.

They were accompanied by Lukas' family, including his wife and two sons.

Lukas' two sons are about the same age as Hao Qiang. The eldest son is already working in the company, and the younger son is a sophomore at the Technical University of Munich.

Lukas' family knew that Hao Qiang was a VIP of the company and were very polite to him.

Under the protection of several bodyguards, a group of five people walked towards the VIP entrance.

The ticket for the VIP box for the finals was expensive. Hao Qiang didn't know how much Lukas spent, and he didn't ask.

For someone of Lukas's wealth, this amount of money is not a big deal.

The ticket prices for this World Cup have dropped compared to the previous one, with the average ticket price for the final being only 221 pounds, or about 3315 yuan.

Of course, this is just the official regular ticket price and does not include VIP tickets.

In fact, due to the high demand for tickets, online lotteries are required, and the winning rate is not high, which leads to higher ticket prices in the secondary market.

Ticket prices for different locations vary greatly.

Hao Qiang's box is located in the middle level of the stands, on both sides of the VVIP box. It has an excellent location and the ticket price is second only to the VVIP box.

In tonight's final, the VVIP box is filled with dignitaries such as politicians from various countries. These seats cannot be bought with money.

By 6:30 in the evening, more than 70,000 fans had packed into the Olympic Stadium, and the live television broadcast had been watched by over a billion people.

In Huaguo, CCTV5 also broadcast the game live, and countless fans stayed up late to watch it.

Tonight, dignitaries from France, Germany, Italy, Olivia and other countries came to watch the game. They are sitting in the VVIP box.

The live broadcast camera focused on these politicians many times, and domestic audiences saw these scenes.

Suddenly, a photographer from CCTV-5 captured a familiar yellow man near these politicians, only a dozen meters away.

The host on the scene was wearing headphones and after hearing the photographer's prompt, the camera turned to the yellow man.

"Dear audience members, the atmosphere is full of passion and the stadium is already packed.

Fans from all over the world wore jerseys of their respective teams, waved flags, and shouted slogans. The air was filled with anticipation and excitement, and everyone's face was filled with enthusiasm.

The photographer just captured a Chinese person who you may be familiar with.

There were quite a few Chinese people who came to watch the World Cup final today, but we only found one person sitting in the VIP box, and he was very close to politicians from various countries.

I didn't expect Hao Qiang to come to watch the game. Even at the age of 20, he couldn't resist the temptation of the World Cup."

The audience in front of the TV also saw Hao Qiang. He was wearing casual clothes, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, and chatting with the middle-aged man next to him. He seemed to be having a very happy conversation.

The shot of Hao Qiang lasted only a moment, then turned to the scene.

Time passed slowly and an 11-minute closing ceremony was held before the game.

At seven o'clock, with the referee's whistle, the game officially began. The players on the field quickly got into the game and started a fierce fight.

Every attack and defense touched the hearts of the audience, and the fans either cheered or held their breath nervously.

Whenever a player approaches the goal, the sound of the entire stadium reaches its peak, and the shouts are deafening.

In the 7th minute, France won a penalty kick.

Zidane calmly scored with his right foot, and France took the lead 1:0.

Lukas in the stands saw the goal and couldn't help but sigh and became nervous.

The scene he least wanted to see was the French team scoring a goal.

Hao Qiang was in a relatively calm mood, but he still sighed when he saw the ball go in.

In the 19th minute, Italy took a corner kick from the right side. Pirlo sent a curved ball with an accurate landing point. Materazzi overpowered Vieira at the back post and headed the ball into the center of the goal from 6 meters in front of the goal. Italy tied the score 1-1!

Materazzi will redeem himself!

"Wo, Hao, it's a tie, it's a tie!"

When Lukas saw the ball go in and the game was tied, he couldn't help but jump up and high-five Hao Qiang.

This is the ending that both of them most want to see.

Lukas' two sons didn't understand. They only knew that their father was gambling, but they didn't know how to place the bet.

Seeing their father happy, they became happy too.

In the subsequent games, every attack made Lukas feel uneasy.

In his opinion, it would be better for both sides to fight for the ball in the midfield until the end of the game.

In the 53rd minute of the second half, France launched a quick counterattack, and Malouda was tackled by Zambrotta on the left side of the penalty area!

Referee Elizondo signaled Malouda to stand up and there was no penalty.

This also made Lukas and Hao Qiang breathe a sigh of relief.

Hao Qiang is also worried that due to the change in chips, the bookmakers are bribing the referees.

If the French team wins, he will lose badly.

Fortunately, the two of them didn't have enough chips to allow the bookmaker to do such a thing.

Before the final, referees are not allowed to have too much contact with non-official personnel, especially people from gambling companies. Once they are discovered and reported, their refereeing qualifications will definitely be revoked by the Football Association.

But the game was not over yet, and Hao Qiang couldn't relax at all.

We have invested nearly 20 million euros in this project, so we can’t let it go to waste.

If the ending were different, it would seriously affect his future plans.
