Chapter 87: Brother Chuan, You Are the House
After speaking, Tang Ao saw Xin Chanxi by the sofa and thought, 'That kid Wang Chuan, damn, he's got both women embracing him on either side, and they haven't even started fighting. Admiration, admiration.'
Xin Chanxi heard this, stood up, and walked over, "Tang Ao, get lost right now!"
"Xiao, you misunderstood, I'm here to help Brother Wang make money?"
Wang Chuan sorted through memories from his past life: the opening match, Greece two, Portugal one, a huge upset.
The Greek team should have scored first, then earned a penalty kick later; Portugal finally equalized thanks to the nineteen-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo. Read books on Tiantian Novel, ttks. tw, super awesome.
He glanced at Tang Ao, this kid had no good intentions, and asked: "Tang Ao, I'm preparing to bet on Portugal to win, the opening match."
Cao Te added: "The opening match, Portugal's odds are currently 1.1, the Greek team is 6.5, a draw is 2.5."
He had been dragged over by Tang Ao to record the bets, but he hadn't expected Wang Chuan to be in the private room.
"What do odds mean?" Sun Ying, who wasn't singing at the moment, was very interested in gambling on football.
Wang Chuan explained: "If you bet 100 yuan on Portugal to win and Portugal actually wins, you get 110 yuan. If you bet on Greece to win and Greece wins, you get 650 yuan."
"Ah, that's so high, then I want to participate too, betting on Greece to win!" Sun Ying, hearing she could earn so much money, was very excited.
Wang Chuan raised his eyebrows and said: "Any normal person knows the host almost cannot lose; I'm betting on Portugal to win, betting 10,000 yuan, winning earns 1,000, not bad."
Tang Ao heard this and thought, it's over, this Wang Chuan is still betting on Portugal; he had racked his brains just now but couldn't think of any way to make Wang Chuan bet on Greece to win, so he'd lose big.
Later, Cai Yueming suggested going to the private room to ask Wang Chuan first, just in case this Wang Chuan didn't understand football and bet on Greece to win.
"However~~" Wang Chuan shifted his gaze to Tang Ao.
"Brother Wang, however what?"
"Tang Ao, if you bet on Portugal to win, then I will bet on Greece to win."
Zhang Yang and Wu Qinghua understood football, knowing the host Portugal's strength was not weak; pre-match predictions said even if Greece scored one goal, it would count as a victory.
"Wang Chuan, don't be impulsive!" Wu Qinghua shouted.
"It's fine, if I compare luck with Tang Ao, I will definitely have better luck than Tang Ao."
Wang Chuan said calmly, glancing at Xin Chanxi, "Xiao, do you believe me?"
Xin Chanxi didn't hesitate, "I believe Brother Wang Chuan. I'll bet 10,000 yuan with Brother Wang Chuan."
Losing the football bet is a small matter; not believing Brother Wang Chuan is a big matter.
After speaking, Xin Chanxi took a stack of money from her bag and handed it to Wang Chuan.
"What about you, Sun Ying?"
"Brother Wang Chuan, I'll bet 1,000 yuan, Xu Jin will pay." Sun Ying glanced at Xu Jin, testing this boyfriend; 1,000 yuan would likely lose, would he be willing to pay?
"Big Brother Wang Chuan, Sun Ying and I will give 2,000 yuan, betting on Greece to win." Xu Jin looked at it; Wang Chuan seemed more reliable than that thuggish Tang Ao.
"What about you two, Teacher Zhang?"
Wu Qinghua thought of Wang Chuan's past, his genius-level surgical operations that had always shocked him, and gritted his teeth saying: "I'll also bet 1,000 on Greece to win."
Zhang Yang, the attending physician, loved Wang Chuan very much; like Wu Qinghua, he thought Wang Chuan was a genius, and a genius's luck couldn't be bad, "Wang Chuan, this time I believe you, I'll bet 5,000, Greece to win."
As soon as the words fell, almost everyone in the private room froze.
"Brother Chuan, last time you said Portugal would win, I bet on Portugal to win, 10,000 yuan. If I make money, I can even subsidize your losses." Li Wei said solemnly.
Wang Chuan heard this and found it both funny and frustrating, 'He really is my good brother; it's doomed, Li Wei's 10,000 yuan will go down the drain.'
"Pei Nanli, what about you?"
Pei Nanli originally didn't want to bet, but seeing everyone in the private room had placed bets, she thought for a moment and said: "Bet 500 yuan on Greece to win." She thought, 'If it wins, it's just enough to change my Mobile Phone.'
"500 yuan is 500 yuan, I'll ask Wang Jia and Lu Na again."
Soon, Wang Chuan received a text message: "Lu Na bets 1,000, Wang Jia bets 1,000, both betting on Greece to win."
"Tang Ao, besides us betting with Manager Cao, the two of us will bet separately, ten times; I bet 10,000 yuan on Greece to win, you pay me 100,000; you bet on Portugal to win, I pay you 100,000. Dare you?!"
'Damn it, Wang Chuan, playing gangster, never losing in momentum!'
Tang Ao hadn't expected Wang Chuan to gamble this big; if he bet 10,000 on Portugal to win and Portugal didn't win, he would lose his principal of 10,000 plus 100,000 in compensation.
If Portugal won, his earnings would be 110,000 plus 1,000, while his principal was only 10,000.
"Brother Wang, do you have that much money on you?" Tang Ao asked cautiously.
Wang Chuan smiled: "If I lose, I won't renege; when walking the world, what's most important? Reputation, understand? Manager Cao, you can be a witness."
He added another sentence: "However, I'm worried about you, Tang Ao, you little brat don't have 100,000 yuan. Forget it, no bet!"
"Brother Wang, give me five Minutes, let me go back and think it over, okay?" Tang Ao thought of preparing to bet with Xiao Rongyue himself to lower the risk.
Tang Ao hadn't studied Finance; this is called hedging risk.
"Sure, you go back and consider for five Minutes; if it's past time, I won't bet against you anymore."
Wang Chuan looked indifferent; if he could earn 100,000, he'd earn it; anyway, betting 10,000 on Greece to win would at least bring in 65,000.
Tang Ao returned and said to Xiao Rongyue: "Brother Xiao, besides betting with Manager Cao, the two of us, separately, will gamble. However, it's a bit big; I'm afraid Brother Xiao doesn't have the guts."
"Damn it!" Xiao Rongyue heard this, blood rushing straight to his head, "Damn it, hurry up and say it, how to bet."
Tang Ao repeated what Wang Chuan had said to Xiao Rongyue. If he lost to Wang Chuan, he could win here against Xiao Rongyue, and the 100,000 compensation would cancel out.
Additionally, he took out 30,000 yuan principal for Cao Te: 10,000 on Portugal to win, 10,000 on Greece to win, 10,000 on a draw; either get back 11,000, or 65,000, or 25,000.
Even if he lost, he wouldn't lose much.
Wang Chuan saw the returning Tang Ao and immediately agreed to bet with him.
'Damn it, did Tang Ao just go out and bet against a third party with the same bet as me to hedge the risk?'
'If it's true, Tang Ao, I'll look at you with new respect; the third party doesn't know, which poor sucker it is.'
Manager Cao Te recorded the bets, came to Wang Chuan's side, and whispered: "Manager Wang, if you can't produce 100,000, come to the Bar later; just tell Manager Lin tomorrow."
"Manager Cao, do you also think I was too impulsive just now, making the decision to bet against him?"
"No, I'm just being prepared; this Tang Ao is a famous Second Generation in Mingzhou, and he might bother you later."
Wang Chuan waved his hand, "Since Manager Cao, you don't believe me. Fine, if I lose later, I'll do as you say!"
Cao Te was just about to leave the private room when Wang Chuan suddenly asked, "Manager Cao, what did you bet on yourself?"
"Me? I bet ten thousand on Portugal to win."
A short while later, twenty minutes passed, and Xin Chanxi's family driver arrived at the Bar entrance.
Wang Chuan saw Xin Chanxi, Pei Nanli, Sun Ying, and Xu Jin into the car, then returned to the second floor.
Beep beep, a message from Xin Chanxi arrived: "Brother Wang Chuan, I hope Greece wins. Send me a message after you finish watching the match; I'll see this good news when I wake up tomorrow."
"Brother Chuan, what are you doing here?" a familiar voice sounded.
Wang Chuan saw Xiao Rongyue coming out of the Toilet, looking utterly shocked.
An intuition rose in his heart: this Xiao Rongyue, who had been deceived by You Min in female disguise, a jinx, could he possibly be Tang Ao's opponent?
"Xiao Rongyue, did you bet on Portugal to win?"
"Yes, Brother Chuan, did you bet on Portugal to win too?"
"Tang Ao bet on Greece to win and made a wager against you, with a penalty of one hundred thousand, right?"
Xiao Rongyue was very surprised. "Brother Chuan, how do you know everything? Are you the bookmaker?"
