Chapter 534 Huo Chengdong Refused to Meet (200 Votes Plus Update)
It's around eight o'clock in the morning, the busiest time for a city, but Sydney doesn't look like a modern metropolis.
Sydney is one of the most economically developed cities in Australia, and it is also the most prosperous city. This is because Sydney's population density is the highest in Australia.
The area of this city is more than 10,000 square kilometers, which is roughly equivalent to three Wudongs, but the population is only half of that of Wudong. You should know that Wudong is far from the city with the highest population density in China. This shows how low Sydney's population density is. Even calculated from the urban area, Sydney's urban area has reached more than 1,200 square kilometers, while Wudong's built-up area is even less than this amount, and the urban area is only about half. But the number of permanent residents in Wudong urban area has exceeded the entire population of Sydney.
While the vehicle was driving from the airport to the city, Shi Lei saw countless compatriots with Chinese faces. After flipping through his phone, Shi Lei realized that it turned out that Sydney had the largest number of Chinese in Australia. Even in some neighborhoods, you will feel as if you are back in China, as all the people coming in and out are Chinese immigrants.
Of course, these Chinese immigrants may not necessarily speak Chinese. Many of them are second- and third-generation immigrants. Although their skin is still yellow, they already have Western thinking in their bones.
As soon as he checked into the hotel, Shi Lei received a message from Yao Er. Yao Er had already investigated the media that Joseph had contacted during Wu Dong's time, and none of the media had accepted his apology. This means that Joseph didn't pay attention to what Shi Lei said to him and did not publicly apologize in the domestic media.
After learning this, Shi Lei was even more certain that the task given to him by the black card was largely related to Joseph's failure to complete the agreement. There was a very high possibility that his 1.5 million independent fund reward would fall on Joseph on the body.
He directly checked the local betting company's website and quickly found out about the World Equestrian Championships. Joseph's odds of winning were the second lowest among all. In other words, the betting company was very optimistic that Joseph could win this event. Second Equestrian World Championships Jumping Championship.
Moreover, there are many strange categories in the bets of these bookmakers. For example, the score of each round, such as when a certain athlete will be eliminated.
Of course, there is the option of Joseph being eliminated in the first round, and the odds are as high as more than 1:150. This also means that Shi Lei only needs to spend 10,000 yuan to bet, and if Joseph is successfully eliminated in the first round, then Shi Lei will win more than 1.5 million yuan in bonus. After getting rid of the website pumping, the money Shi Lei got was exactly around 1.5 million.
(Regarding this, I roughly checked online and found that there should be no tax on gambling in Australia. If you don’t know enough, please don’t slap me in the face. That’s probably what it means)
Seeing such odds, Shi Lei became more and more certain that his own independent funds were destined to be earned back from Joseph.
A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Shi Lei's mouth, Joseph, Joseph, there is a road to heaven but you won't take it, and there is no door to hell if you want to break in, can't I just ask you to apologize honestly? If you don't agree, then just wait until you are eliminated from the World Championships.
At the same time, Shi Lei was thinking that although this was a way for him to obtain independent funds, it would also consume his opportunity to use the animal language card, so he would have to earn back the money. If I bet with my own funds, can I also make some money?
Most of Shi Lei's independent funds have been put into the company's account by Yao Er, but he still has some change left in his hand, about more than 10,000 yuan.
After thinking for a long time, Shi Lei eagerly decided to take the risk and give it a try. So, he first bet a limit of 10,000 yuan in soft sister coins, and the money was quickly deducted successfully, and then the website also showed that his bet was successful.
Shi Lei looked at the odds specifically, and they still paid more than 150 per one. Shi Lei used his own funds to prepare to place a bet.
In fact, it didn't matter whether he won money or not. Shi Lei even thought that the black card would not allow him to increase his independent funds in this way, but he just wanted to use 10,000 yuan to test how the black card could let him lose his independent funds. funds.
The process was exactly the same as before. Shi Lei filled in the number equivalent to 10,000 soft girl coins in the input box and clicked OK.
The page prompted him to inject funds, so Shi Lei transferred the money to the website account again, but when he wanted to bet the money and chose to submit, the website stopped responding for a long time. The navigation bar stopped at more than 90% position and could not be refreshed. Shi Lei waited for a long time, but there was still no response.
Finally, the page on the computer showed a 404 status. Shi Lei immediately refreshed the page, only to find that the website was back to normal.
However, the website has returned to normal, but the order he placed before was not successful. Moreover, the money in the account he just registered has been successfully deducted.
"Holy shit! Isn't this so shameless? You deducted my money, but it shows that the bet was unsuccessful?" Shi Lei suddenly shouted.
He kept the order and then complained to the website. The website was very polite. They said that there was indeed a page error for a few seconds, but it was quickly restored. At the same time, they said they would find out the whereabouts of Shi Lei's bets as soon as possible and would give Shi Lei an explanation at that time.
Shi Lei has completely given up. Not to mention that he doesn't have any independent funds in his hand. Even if he does, he doesn't plan to continue betting.
He believed that other situations would inevitably arise as a result of continuing to place bets, and the black card would never allow him to take advantage of such an opportunity to make money.
Damn Heika, that's really shameless - Shi Lei lost to Heika once again. It's not that he feels bad about the ten thousand yuan. He believes that with the reputation of these bookmakers, he won't let him go. Although he can't see a problem here, if the gaming company really wants to investigate, they will definitely find out the problem. However, the website's customer service also made it very clear that regardless of whether Shi Lei's funds were really missing due to technical problems on the website or for other reasons, this bet was considered invalid. If the whereabouts of the funds are found out, the most they can do is compensate Shi Lei for the same amount as the bet. It was also suggested that if Shi Lei wanted to continue betting, he could open another order.
Therefore, Shi Lei gave up directly.
Opportunism seems to be a no-no.
The hotel is located not far from the harbor where the famous Sydney Opera House is located. You can see the entire Sydney Opera House from the hotel window, and the scenery is quite good.
But after Shi Lei called Huo Chengdong with his mobile phone, it was Huo Chengdong's assistant who answered the phone. He politely told Shi Lei that Mr. Huo did not have time to see him.
I thought it would be a matter of course. I could meet the person with just one phone call, and then start the bargaining process, and finally control the price within the price given by the black card. Unexpectedly, Shi Lei was hindered in his first step. How could he bargain with the other party when he couldn't even see him?
Shi Lei hurriedly asked on the phone: "Then I would like to ask, is Mr. Huo going to sell a blue and white porcelain vase from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty recently?"
The other party's tone became very strange, and he said: "Sir, I don't know where you got the news. Mr. Huo is obsessed with collecting in his life, and he will never sell the treasures he has collected."
This is an additional update for the 200 monthly ticket, but it seems that there are relatively few tickets. Please get more.
