Chapter 1578: Losing All

1578

"Brother Xu!" Li Yuqing walked up to Xu Taiping and nodded to Xu Taiping with a smile.

"Sit down!" Xu Taiping said.

Li Yuqing sat opposite Xu Taiping and said, "Brother Xu, didn't you just return to Jiangyuan City a few days ago? Why are you here again?"

"The Chinese Martial Arts Association has something to do." Xu Taiping said with a smile, "So I came here for a few days and asked you to have a drink."

"It's the night of the European Cup, and all the bars in Xiahai City where you can watch the football are almost full. Brother Xu, are you watching the football?" Li Yuqing asked.

"Don't look at it." Xu Taiping shook his head.

"Would you like to buy some football?" Li Yuqing asked.

"I won't buy it, but everything you gamble on is controllable. No matter how you play, ordinary players can't beat the banker." Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"I have some small purchases. In the evening, Perfume Country versus Pheasant Country. Perfume Country is basically a sure winner. The odds are only 1.14. But with such a sure win, it doesn't matter if you buy some!" Li Yuqing said with a smile.

Xu Taiping smiled and said, "Generally, the more stable the bet is, the more likely it is that there will be an accident. Come on, have a drink."

"good!"

The two opened the beers on the table, and then drank while watching the ball.

Although Xu Taiping does not watch football, this does not prevent him from following the crowd and watching football together.

During the game, people came and went, and Xu Taiping and Li Yuqing also came and went. Not long after, halftime was over, and the dozen beers on the table were all finished.

"It's not good. I bought this perfume and the national team won the first half. Damn it, it was a draw!" Li Yuqing said angrily.

"Don't worry, isn't there still a second half?" Xu Taiping said with a smile, "Football lasts for ninety minutes. Perfume Country definitely doesn't want a draw. After all, Pheasant Country's team is so weak, so Perfume Country will definitely win in the second half. Increase the offense.”

"Oh? What does Brother Xu mean that Perfume Country will definitely score in the second half?" Li Yuqing asked.

"It also depends on the Pheasant Country's defense. If the defense is good and the Perfume Country cannot attack for a long time, there may be loopholes in the backcourt. When the time comes, it is not guaranteed and the Pheasant Country will seize the opportunity!" Xu Taiping said.

"It's impossible. The Pheasant Country is too weak. It's only ranked dozens of times in the world. The Perfume Country is ranked among the top ones in the world. There's no way the Pheasant Country could seize the opportunity!" Li Yuqing shook his head.

Xu Taiping smiled. He didn't know much about football, and the analysis he made was based on some basic common sense, so he didn't think what he said necessarily made sense. It was normal for others not to believe it.

Time passed little by little.

Suddenly, there was a burst of shouting in the entire bar.

"Holy shit!"

"What the hell, what's going on? How could Pheasant Country score a goal? It's still in the last minute!!"

Everyone was shouting angrily, and it was obvious that these people must have lost money.

Xu Taiping looked at the score of Perfume Country 0:1 Pheasant Country on the screen, and suddenly realized that his mouth was very accurate. Pheasant Country actually caught a loophole in Perfume Country at the last minute of the game, and then entered. A ball!

No wonder so many people like to watch football, because there are no absolutes on the football field. No matter how weak a team is, it is possible to beat a strong team.

Xu Taiping looked at Li Yuqing who looked ugly and asked, "How much did you buy?"

"One hundred thousand yuan, hey, I planned to win some money to buy a better camera, but I didn't expect... such a stable camera would have problems! Damn!" Li Yuqing said angrily.

"Buy that big? One hundred thousand yuan, even if you win, it will only be a profit of fourteen thousand yuan!" Xu Taiping said.

"This is a waste of money. Everyone thinks that Perfume Country is the winner!" Li Yuqing said.

"According to my business point of view, if you use 100,000 yuan to gamble more than 10,000 yuan, it is better to use it to press the size of a dice in a casino. There is at least a 50% chance that the probability can be doubled, and you, The probability is too low." Xu Taiping shook his head.

"I think a lot of people jumped off the building tonight." Li Yuqing covered his head and said, "We lost such a sure game. How many people would have been killed."

"Drink!" Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"Hey, drink, drink!" Li Yuqing sighed and continued to drink.

Xu Taiping could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the entire bar had become a bit gloomy. It seemed that many people had lost money, and a lot.

Think about it, with odds of 1.14, there is no point in buying it for three to five hundred. If you want to buy it, you must buy it for tens of thousands or even one hundred thousand. If you lose, it will be terrible.

Li Yuqing's mood seemed to be affected, and he stopped drinking after a few bottles.

Xu Taiping did not force Li Yuqing to drink. After paying the bill, Xu Taiping followed Li Yuqing and walked out of the bar.

Not far outside the bar, a group of people were gathering at the bottom of a building, looking up at the top of the building.

"Holy shit, someone jumped off the building!" Li Yuqing said excitedly, pointing to the roof of the building.

Xu Taiping looked at the roof of the building.

There was a man sitting on the edge of the roof of the building.

The lights on the roof of the building were very dim, so many people couldn't see clearly what the person looked like. Judging from the figure, they could probably tell that it was a woman.

Xu Taiping's eyes were much better than those of ordinary people, so Xu Taiping could see that person's face clearly.

That, turned out to be an acquaintance!

If Xu Taiping read it correctly, that person is Wu Xue!

Wu Xue?

Xu Taiping was surprised as to why Wu Xue wanted to jump off the building.

At this time, more and more people gathered downstairs in the building. Many people raised their heads and looked up, and everyone was talking about it.

"Don't jump yet, don't waste your time if you don't jump!" Someone suddenly shouted loudly.

The man was standing next to Xu Taiping. Without saying a word, Xu Taiping raised his foot and kicked the man, sending him flying away.

"What are you doing?!" The man stood up excitedly and shouted to Xu Taiping.

"If you want to jump, jump up. What are you talking about here?" Xu Taiping asked with a dark face.

The man was originally very aggressive, but when he saw Xu Taiping's dark face, for some reason, he felt a chill rising from his feet and immediately closed his mouth.

"Call the police, call the police!" someone shouted.

"The police have been called. The police will be here soon. Young people, don't be impulsive. Life is still beautiful!" someone shouted.

Xu Taiping looked up, frowned slightly, and then said to Li Yuqing beside him, "I'll go up and take a look."

"Go up and have a look?" Li Yuqing was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, Xu Taiping had disappeared in front of him.

It was very windy on the top floor of the building.

It's autumn now, and it's true that the air is crisp and clear, but on the roof, the wind is a bit cold.

Xu Taiping walked out of the stairs on the top floor and looked forward.

Not far away, a woman was sitting on the guardrail on the roof of the building.

Although his back was to Xu Taiping, his back view was still very attractive.

Xu Taiping didn't hide anything at all and walked directly towards the man.

The man heard the footsteps and looked back. When she saw that it was Xu Taiping, she was stunned for a moment. It seemed that she had not expected that Xu Taiping would appear here.

"Don't come over here. I'll jump down if you come over. Leave me alone." Wu Xue shouted excitedly.

"I have no intention of taking care of you, nor do I intend to save you. I'm just here to be a spectator." Xu Taiping smiled, walked to the guardrail about four or five meters away from Wu Xue, looked down, and said, "It's quite high here, isn't it?"

Wu Xue was silent. Her eyes were a little red, and she didn't know whether she had just cried or was angry.

"You can die completely if you jump from such a high place." Xu Taiping said normally, taking out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, taking one out, holding it in his mouth, and then lit it.

"Phew, it's so cool here!" Xu Taiping said.

"Are you here to make fun of me? Is it okay to make fun of me?" Wu Xue asked.

Xu Taiping looked at Wu Xue in astonishment and said, "Making fun of you? Why am I teasing you? You have no enmity with me, and you want to die now. Why should I make fun of you? Am I that evil?"

"Then what are you doing here?" Wu Xue asked.

"I haven't actually seen carefully what it would be like if a person jumped off the roof of a building and then fell to the ground, so I wanted to take a closer look." Xu Taiping said with a smile while holding a cigarette in his mouth.

Wu Xue looked at Xu Taiping, trying to find some answers from Xu Taiping's expression. However, Xu Taiping's face was only indifferent, which left her speechless.

"Why can't you think about it?" Xu Taiping suddenly asked.

Wu Xue remained silent and did not speak.

"Let me guess. Not long after the football match ended, your face turned slightly red. You were obviously drunk. Maybe you were drinking while watching the football match. Why did you jump off the building after watching the football match? Then the only thing The explanation is that I lost the bet, do you think I guessed it right?" Xu Taiping said.

Wu Xue said nothing. In fact, Xu Taiping was right. She lost the bet and lost everything.

"It can be seen from the fact that you went to the bank to get a loan a few days ago that your company's economic situation is not very good. Did you plan to use this European Cup to make a fortune, so you spent all your money? No! How much?" Xu Taiping asked curiously.

"Everything." Wu Xue said.

"allin?" Xu Taiping was stunned for a moment, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said jokingly, "You rarely gamble, right?"

"I've never bet before," Wu Xue said.

"Only novices can allin and want to get rich in one go. Although it is possible to get rich in one go, the greater possibility is that they will lose everything in one go. Allin means leaving no way out for yourself. You only have one chance. , if you lose, you won’t even have a chance to make up your losses, it’s unwise.” Xu Taiping shook his head.

Wu Xue was silent and did not speak. As Xu Taiping said, she never gambled. However, the company's recent situation was really bad. Someone told him that in the first game of the European Cup, Perfume Country vs. Pheasant Country was It was a competition to give away money, so she took advantage of the competition before it started, borrowed money from everywhere, and then tonight, she put all her money on Perfume Country to win.

Unexpectedly, she lost everything when she gambled for the first time in her life. She lost completely.
