The salespersons of gaming companies also have tasks, and only after completing them can they earn commissions.
Especially those who serve the VIP box area, they all know that there will be big bets here, so the betting sales tasks here are much more than those at ordinary betting stations.
Moreover, the salesperson here has to spend money to provide services to the stadium, VIP box supervisors and box attendants. The little salesperson is already crying. If this continues, she will be ordered to pack up and leave before the World Cup is over.
People.
However, the salesperson is still very responsible. Although the order is small, she still fills it in meticulously and carefully. As for what will happen if she fails to complete the task, she really has no time to think about it.
In fact, this is because Maggie and the others don't know much about football. It can be seen from the odds offered by the bookmaker for this game that the win, draw and loss are 1.5, 3.61 and 4.35 respectively. Everyone is still optimistic about the England team winning.
This is indeed the case. At the end of the half, the England team relied on Lineker to score in front of the goal, leading the first half with a score of 1:0.
During the halftime break, everyone was doing their own thing. Maggie and Andrew were discussing whether a certain action during the game should be given a yellow card.
Sun Dahai and Hu Cheng listened to Linkwood telling interesting things they encountered at work. Hu Cheng had only learned English for too short a time, so he probably couldn't understand a few words.
Battelle was the most comfortable. He and Alaya were sitting on the sofa, and they were learning each other's languages. Battelle read Chinese with a Chinese-English dictionary, and Alaya read English. The two studied in parallel and enjoyed it.
As the saying goes, a man chases a woman across a mountain, and a woman chases a man across a veil. Alaya's proactive attack caused Battle to lose his armor and be defeated. He surrendered long ago.
Now these two people are engaged in an adulterous affair, they are tired of being together every day, and they are always giving dog food to the remaining four singles. If it were not for the poor communication between them, Sun Dahai would probably have reached the point of discussing marriage.
.
At this time, there was a knock on the box door. Linkwood's assistant went over to open the box door, and the short and fat Kota Kono walked in with a smile on his face.
When an outsider arrived, everyone in the box paused what they were doing to see what was going on.
As soon as Ono Kota entered the door, he saw Alaya sitting next to Battle on the sofa. His eyes flashed, and then he hid his smile.
"Hi, hello, Miss Alaya, we meet again. Before the competition, I thought it was Miss Alaya walking into this private room, and it was indeed the case. I am Kota Ono from Akikawa Co., Ltd. Because I met an old friend, I took the liberty to
Come, please take care of me."
Ono said and bowed, making Sun Dahai so angry that he wanted to curse, "Are you here to attend a memorial service or something!"
Seeing that they were here to see her, Alaya stood up and gave a brief introduction to everyone. Alaya only introduced Sun Dahai, Maggie and Andrew, Battle, Hu Cheng and Linkwood, but did not introduce them.
When Kota Ono heard that there were people from mainland China here, his eyes unconsciously showed some contempt. Although he quickly covered it up, Sun Dahai still observed it.
Now Sun Dahai was not happy. A little Japanese devil took the initiative to run into his box and actually dared to despise his master.
However, the little devil came to see Alaya. Sun Dahai didn't say anything, but he had already recorded this account in his heart.
Alaya accompanied Ono and listened to his talk. It was nothing more than bragging about the strength of his company, its business all over the world, and the fact that dignitaries from all over the world treated him like a distinguished guest. He almost believed it.
Alaya listened helplessly, she couldn't kick him out. Fortunately, she knew that the intermission was only fifteen minutes, so she gritted her teeth and persisted for a while and it was over.
While Kota Ono was talking, he carefully observed the situation in the box. He found that basically no one was paying attention to him, and he became bored as he talked.
Suddenly, he saw a handwritten betting slip on the sofa coffee table, which was Alaya's name, so he seemed to have discovered a new world and started talking about betting.
"Miss Alaya, I didn't expect you also like gambling. Have you bet on this game now? What is the bet?"
Alaya followed his eyes and saw her betting slip. She knew that he had discovered the betting matter. But it didn't matter. Alaya told Ono what she had bet on.
"Betting on England to win? Haha, Miss Alaya, it seems that our heroes have the same idea. I am also betting on England to win. The total bet is twenty-five thousand US dollars."
As he spoke, Ono reached into his arms and took out a few handwritten betting slips from the inner pocket of his suit, showing them to Alaya.
Indeed, Ono took out five handwritten betting slips, each of which was betting 5,000 US dollars on England to win. However, Alaya did not notice that in terms of bettor, only the first one was Kota Ono, and the following ones were all bets.
It's not him anymore.
Actually, this is Ono bragging.
When Japanese companies were doing business, they often tried their best to bribe powerful people among their partners so that their companies could gain greater benefits.
Booking a box at the main stadium of the World Cup and inviting football-loving customers to watch the game is just a superficial phenomenon. Bribery through betting is the most important thing.
They will differentiate the bribe objects according to their importance, and use the other party's name to buy gambling for thousands to tens of thousands of dollars each time.
If you don't guess correctly, there will naturally be nothing.
But if the bet is successful, the betting slip becomes a bet in which the briber borrowed money from the company. After the game, he goes to the bookmaker to redeem the prize, returns the principal to the company, and the profit goes into the briber's pocket.
This kind of money is safe and concealed for the bribe recipient, and it is not afraid of investigation and can be spent casually. It can be regarded as a very effective method of bribery.
It's just that this method of bribery requires accurate judgment when betting, and try not to buy long odds. It doesn't matter if the odds are low, as long as you make some money.
Among the betting slips that Kota Ono carried, only one was his personal bet. The remaining US$20,000 in betting slips were bets for the four clients in his box, using the special funds of Mingchuan Co., Ltd.
Ono Kota used public funds to finance his business here, which was a last resort. Although he is a direct descendant of the Ono family, he only ranks third among the third generation. He has two older brothers above him.
If we were to line up according to the order of heirs, he would be in the seventh or eighth position at most.
He is not a genius, and his consistent performance is not very good, so the resources provided to him by the family are not many. Small money is no problem, but big money can only be spent.
Fortunately, his mother's situation is also good and she has given him relatively large financial support. Otherwise, he would not have much capital to spend his days and nights.
