Lin Changjun kept his promise and made an appointment with Gu Yun to go out for a late-night snack the next night.
It is hard for government secretaries to imagine that a major city leader is wearing slippers and short-sleeved shorts, with his legs crossed, peeling crayfish with his bare hands at a late-night snack stall, next to a cold beer just taken out of the store's freezer, giving directions.
sweating a lot.
There is no GDP and economic development here, no endless meetings and speech outlines, only the purest happiness of middle-aged people when facing their hobbies.
The night in Jiangcheng was filled with human fireworks. The lively night snack stalls were full of football fans. World Football was playing on the TV screen. The next game hadn't started yet. When the two of them saw that they didn't have enough beer, Gu Yun pointed at the store opposite and licked his lips.
"Buy more?"
"Okay, I'm going to buy a package of salt-baked peanuts."
After quickly replenishing the ingredients for watching the football in the store, Lin Changjun looked at the sports lottery center next door and stood still.
"Wait for me. I'll go get a subsistence allowance during the match between the Netherlands and Denmark."
As we all know, the Netherlands is the first team in this competition and Denmark is the last team.
The handicap is also extremely tilted towards the Dutch victory. Although Lin Changjun is in a high position, his salary is not high. In addition, he is honest and upright and has no other gray income at all. Once he encounters an opportunity where he can make money legally, he will not miss it.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Even if you are living on subsistence allowances, you can still earn a lot. The sports lottery center is like an attractive black hole, and Lin Changjun can't help but walk in.
There were a lot of people at the sports lottery center. During the European Cup, you even had to queue up to buy lottery tickets. The Dutch team was very popular. In order to live on the subsistence allowance, everyone placed heavy bets.
When the queue reached Lin Changjun, he also bought 10,000 Dutch dollars.
"Brother Jun, I advise you not to buy Holland, buy the other side."
Gu Yun stretched out his hand to stop the impulsive Lin Changjun. This game was one of the most classic upsets in the entire European Cup. Huge amounts of money were overturned on this handicap.
"You haven't even grown your hair yet, what do you know about football? Boss, hurry up, the game is about to start, buy me 50,000 Dutch dollars."
As soon as Gu Yun finished speaking, a middle-aged man squeezed into the queue. The T-shirt on his body had been washed and turned white, and the canvas shoes on his feet were in tatters. He looked anxious, clutching the shabby wallet in his hand, and there was a stain on his forehead.
There are beads of sweat hanging on it.
The middle-aged man didn't look very wealthy. Perhaps these were all the savings he had just withdrawn from the bank next door, just to make a desperate move and get this guaranteed minimum guarantee.
Lin Changjun smiled: "I also buy Holland."
Gu Yun failed to stop Lin Changjun in the end.
It's empty talk. On paper, the Netherlands is indeed stronger. How can you make others believe in you?
In the world's number one sport, in addition to strength, luck is equally important, which is why upsets occur in every competition.
In fact, the middle-aged man and Lin Changjun are just a microcosm of the national football lottery during this year's European Cup.
Under the enthusiastic "attack" of the Internet, buying football lottery has become an extremely simple pastime, and almost everyone has instantly become a fan.
Die-hard fans identify their own teams, fake fans buy casually, some have clear goals of making money, and some just want to be a part of this national carnival. This is the best of times, and more and more people are eager to get rich.
many.
"Brother, I advise you to buy some too. There are too many people who are optimistic about the Netherlands in this year's European Cup. In addition, there is a home field bonus. If you buy it, you will make a profit. I bought a lot myself."
The owner of the sports lottery center was a warm-hearted person. Seeing that Gu Yun had no intention of paying, he took the initiative to chat.
Lin Changjun looked at the watch on his wrist and told him to hurry up if he wanted to buy it. The game was about to start.
Gu Yun let out a long sigh. It seemed that he really couldn't make money without making some money.
"Boss, I'll buy Denmark 1-0 Netherlands, give me an order of 100,000 yuan."
"Oh, okay...what did you say?"
The boss touched his ears and thought he heard wrongly.
"Tch, idiot."
Other people in the sports lottery center gathered together to watch TV and burst into laughter after hearing Gu Yun's words. Is this kid crazy about wanting to get rich?
In the Netherlands' home game, the opponent is a little-known and underdog team. You don't really think there will be any upsets, do you?
This kind of free betting method is as funny as if the Chinese team can enter the World Cup.
Moreover, instead of joining everyone else in buying wins and losses, he directly took 100,000 yuan to decide the scores. At first glance, he looked like a young man, just messing around.
Lin Changjun looked at Gu Yun and shook his head slightly in his heart. The young man was still not calm enough. Although one hundred thousand yuan was not a lot of money for the big boss of Paradise Technology, buying the scores of weak teams in football lottery was too risky.
It's heavy.
"When I buy the score, I will buy Denmark 1-0 Netherlands. Boss, please don't call me wrong."
Gu Yun knocked on the glass at the front desk. The boss came back to his senses and settled the bet with a sympathetic look.
The two of them took the lottery tickets and the game just started, so they returned to the supper stall to continue watching the game.
"No way? I can't guess it for you, right?"
At midfield, the Netherlands still did not organize an effective attack, and the entire team was weak. Lin Changjun looked at the Dutch team that was unable to score a goal, and felt drummed in his heart.
"What if I guess right?"
"Then I'm really convinced. Whatever you buy from now on, I will buy accordingly."
"Holy shit!"
The home stadium of the Netherlands was filled with tens of thousands of Dutch fans. Unexpectedly, Denmark scored a key goal at this time. For a small country with a population of several million, only a few hundred fans came, but the cheers at this moment were overwhelming.
Covered tens of thousands of people.
As soon as Lin Changjun finished speaking, Denmark scored a goal the next second. His heart rose to his throat, filled with emotions of surprise and disbelief.
Although ten thousand yuan is not a lot of money, it is enough to make him, a civil servant who relies on salary, suffer for half a day.
As the referee's whistle sounded, the game ended.
Lin Changjun raised the last bottle of Tsingtao beer, drank it in one gulp, and patted Gu Yun on the shoulder.
"Brother, I'm really convinced this time! Although you don't comment often, you really know how to play football!"
Judging from the handicap just now, the current live handicap of mainstream companies generally favors the Netherlands by one goal. Considering that the Netherlands is in the death group, they will definitely try their best to grab three points against the Danish team, the weakest in the group, in the first game. The Netherlands is a big favorite.
Trend, such a position will undoubtedly expose the upper plate to a higher risk of compensation.
Gu Yun went against the grain and chose a score with higher odds, and one hundred thousand yuan instantly turned into five million.
The two returned to the lottery shop, and many people watching the game and waiting for the lottery looked at Gu Yun, like a magician who predicted the unknown.
"Brother, you are so amazing."
The owner of the lottery shop sighed and took back the ticket from Hui Yun's hand. This was the only ticket he took back today, and he himself lost a lot.
"Hold!"
The middle-aged man who had just mocked Gu Yun now had red eyes, clenched his fists, and trembled slightly between his legs.
On football night in Jiangcheng, countless people became rich overnight, and countless people lost their entire fortune overnight.
After successfully redeeming their prizes, the two walked out of the sports lottery center and walked to a deserted place. Lin Changjun pulled Gu Yun with a hint of asking for advice in his tone.
"Brother, look at the next match between Germany and Portugal. How should you buy it?"
"Do you believe me?"
Gu Yun teased, as if the person who just laughed at him was not Lin Changjun himself.
"letter."
Lin Changjun nodded, his eyes full of determination.
