Chapter 1249 Take a Gamble

Compared to world-class sports like basketball and football, there are actually not many spectators in hurdle races. In addition to the domestic spectators who come to support the athletes because there are athletes from their own country in this competition, only a very small number of people who really love hurdle sports buy tickets to watch the competition.

This is like a few years later, everyone always says that Bolt saved the men's sprint. Before Bolt, although men's sprint was also a popular sport, it was just popular. The majority of the spectators were still spectators who supported their own athletes, and not many spectators bought tickets because of their hobbies.

But after Bolt appeared, he continued to break the record of men's sprint. Many people were very curious about how the fastest sprinter on the earth took off on the track.

So a large number of curious spectators poured into the audience to watch the game, making this sport that was originally not ranked a hot item that many people paid attention to.

The hurdle race that is about to start is also like this. If it weren't for Liu Xiang, only a very small number of people in China would buy tickets to support this sport because there are athletes from their own country participating.

But with Liu Xiang and the fact that this sport has become a national sport, men's hurdles have become popular in China. Liu Xiang has also become one of the top domestic sports stars. Before winning the championship, many Chinese people didn't even know who Liu Xiang was.

"Do you think there will be a new world record in this game?" Kurk smiled and looked at Yang Dongxu.

This time, the two did not sit in the stands. Zhou Ya, her child, and Ran Feifei and several other women sat in the front row of the stands. Every woman and child had a small red flag on their face, and they danced and cheered like a fanatical fan.

It's hard to imagine that before entering the venue, these women were still discussing cosmetics, and they probably didn't even know what game they were going to watch. Now they are all like crazy fans.

"It should be." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

"How about we bet on who will create the world record?" A man with a beard and wearing a loose sports shirt next to Kurk said.

The reason why he didn't stay in the front row with his wife and children, but sat in the VIP box of the competition venue. It was because Kurk suddenly invited him to the VIP box and said that he had a friend to introduce to him.

But strangely, after entering the box, Kurk didn't mean to introduce the two to each other. Instead, he talked about other things. Yang Dongxu and the bearded man just nodded and greeted each other without any communication. He never thought that he would show up at this time.

"What are you betting on?" Yang Dongxu looked at the man sideways.

Although he just nodded without communication, and Kurk didn't even introduce the two parties. But Yang Dongxu knew this man. Not only did he know him, but the other party was probably very familiar with him.

Because the initiator of the US FBI shooting of Chinese businessmen that shocked the world media not long ago and was quickly forgotten by the world media was the guy next to him who looked very friendly with a smile on his face.

Afterwards, as a victim, although Yang Dongxu had to stop hastily after receiving some compensation for some reasons. But for those who want to harm you, even if you can't do anything to them for a while, you still need to know who is the one who harms you, right?

So the man named Jack came into his sight, but he knew of his existence. But he couldn't figure out the identity of this person for the time being.

Even if Kennedy helped him find information, the background of the man in front of him was still a mystery. He only knew that he was very close to the American consortium, but he couldn't be sure which one he belonged to.

"10 million US dollars, bet on who will be the champion." Jack said with a smile.

"I will definitely bet on the player from my own country for the champion. Are you going to bet on the player from your own country?" Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows and looked at Jack.

"Then let's bet on whether the champion can break the world record." Jack said with an unchanged expression.

Liu Xiang is not very famous in China at present, and many people don't know him, but he has become a star in the 110-meter hurdles. For example, among the other seven contestants on the eight tracks of the 110-meter hurdles today, no one has beaten him in this year's competition.

So even if there are former Sydney 110m hurdles champions and other world-class 110m hurdles silver medalists among these competitors, Liu Xiang is still the biggest favorite to win.

Therefore, as long as Jack is not crazy, he will not be angry and bet on his country's competitors to win the championship. Although the competition is full of uncertainty.

But betting on Liu Xiang to win the championship has a winning rate of more than 70%, and betting on American athletes to win the championship has a winning rate of less than 20%. This can be seen from the odds of international betting. The data provided by the bookmakers is absolutely very scientific data. Is there anything wrong with his brain? How could he bet on a bet that is likely to lose?

"The competition is full of surprises. You proposed this bet yourself, but you don't really want to bet." Yang Dongxu looked at Jack teasingly, trying to block him with words.

"In this case, I'll bet on your country's athletes to win, and you can bet on others." Jack's expression did not change at all.

Obviously, this is also a thick-faced and black-hearted guy, who sees interests more than his own face.

"Let's bet on whether we can break the world record, but betting on money is meaningless, why don't we bet on something else." It's useless to talk back at such a shameless person. Because his face is bulletproof and he won't feel embarrassed at all because of face problems.

"What do you want to bet on?" Jack looked at Yang Dongxu.

"I'm about to buy a batch of telecommunications technology from Nokia. If I win you, I'll shut up those troublemakers. If you win my shares of Nokia mobile phones, you can sell them to anyone you specify at the current market price." Yang Dongxu said.

"All the troublemakers?" Jack frowned.

"So the troublemakers." Yang Dongxu gave a positive answer: "It's useless if you don't make trouble, because you won't lose anything if you don't make trouble, which means you don't pay any price for losing.

Stop those troublemakers, it's the price you pay after losing. Besides, those troublemakers are just some vampires led by the United States. It's just a matter of your words to stop them from making trouble."

"This sentence will cause me a lot of trouble. You know, the technology blockade against China in the field of communications is not just my decision." Jack leaned on the sofa and looked at Yang Dongxu.

"Nokia is not a fool. As long as the United States does not stop it, it can sell some technology for some money. What technology is the core technology will never be sold. They can clearly distinguish it."

The meaning of this sentence is very obvious, that is, Nokia will not sell those high-tech technologies even if he wants to buy them. The price of Jack's words is just to ensure that some technologies that can be bought and sold do not jump out during the transaction process. This does not touch the bottom line of the current technology blockade set by the US government.

"This sounds fair." Jack nodded.

Although Yang Dongxu did not lose money by selling Nokia's mobile phone business shares at the market price, the so-called market price is not the highest price.

Given the current popularity of Nokia mobile phones, there are countless capitals that want to buy these shares from him at a premium. If Jack wins, even if he does not want these Nokia mobile phone business shares, he can make hundreds of millions of dollars in profit by selling them at a premium. This bet is much bigger than the $1,000 he proposed before.

"What if none of your bets win?" Kurk, who was sitting in the middle, said with a smile, "How about this, if the object you bet on does not win because of an accident. Then each of you loses me $5 million, and if the object you bet on wins, then I lose $5 million to each of you."

"Okay." Yang Dongxu nodded.

"No problem." Jack said.

In fact, the winning or losing of tens of millions of dollars does not mean much to the three people. This money is a huge sum of money for ordinary people. For them, it is estimated that buying a slightly better manor villa is more than this money.

So Kurk doesn't care whether he wins or loses. All he has to do is just want to get involved. In this way, the two guests he invited started betting, and he, as the host, would not be too embarrassed to sit here.

"Is this world record this year's world record or the previous world record?" Jack asked.

"Of course it's a new world record. You definitely won't want me to bet that he can break this year's world record for 110-meter hurdles. So I bet he can run under 13 seconds, break the historical 110-meter hurdles record and create new history."

"Then I bet he can't create a new world record." Jack said very relaxedly.

Although the Chinese player is the favorite to win this year, the world record for 110-meter hurdles is held by Colin Jackson in 1993, and this record has been maintained for 11 years.

There is no problem for Liu Xiang to win the championship, and the bookmakers will not make mistakes on such a key issue, because those bookmakers that made mistakes have long gone bankrupt.

But whether to break the dusty world record is a 50-50 thing, and he never thinks that his luck is worse than the young man in front of him.

The reason for the failure last time was that the pigs under his command made mistakes in operation, not because there was anything wrong with his plan. If that idiot hadn't fired on the spot, causing Yang Dongxu's bodyguards to counterattack in self-defense.

Even if Yang Dongxu explained clearly in court why he mobilized a large amount of 911 disaster money to make a fortune for himself, he still had a way to make the young man in front of him lose a layer of skin before he could escape from the cage.

But because the idiot fired on the spot, the guy in front of him directly stood at the commanding height of self-defense counterattack. It made the FBI very passive, and coupled with the pressure of public opinion that the identities of those people could not withstand scrutiny, he had to give up hastily and lost the game.
