Chapter 826: Stealing the British Gold Medal (9th Update)
On the way back in the car, Zhang Guan remained silent. He recalled his many confrontations with Sebastian, and each time it was Sebastian who made the move and he had to resolve it, but this time, Sebastian's move could not be resolved by Zhang Guansu.
So Zhang Guan chose to change from passive to active. He wanted to grab the British gold medal.
The Olympic Games is the best moment to highlight a country's image, especially for the host country. They definitely hope to win as many gold medals as possible. It would be a very embarrassing performance if the host country won less gold medals. This has always been the case in sports competitions, such as the World Cup in South Africa. As the host, the South African team performed at the fifth-level level. The South African team was considered to be a long way from the World Cup level, and South Africa once became the laughing stock of fans. .
And an old colonial country like the United Kingdom, a former empire on which the sun never sets, pays special attention to face, and this is also the direction in which Zhang Guan takes action.
In Zhang Guan's memory, at the 2012 London Olympics, the Chinese team ranked second in the gold medal list, while the British team ranked third. Now that Zhang Guan has decided to take the gold medal from the British, it will inevitably lead to a trade-off. Every time Zhang Guan wins a gold medal, the Chinese team will have one more gold medal, and the British team will have one less gold medal. There will be a gap between two gold medals.
Zhang Guan feels that this is also a kind of revenge against Sebastian. In the Olympic track and field competition, Zhang Guan lost to Sebastian. After all, Sebastian is the chairman and president of the IAAF. The chairman of the British Olympic Organizing Committee is the general trend; but at the Olympic Games, Zhang Guan wants to hit Sebastian hard. He wants Sebastian to lose the entire UK!
"I have to plan carefully, participate in those events, and get the qualifications for those events. I have to recall carefully what gold medals Britain won in the 2012 Olympics. I definitely can't do it alone. Better targeted intelligence sources.”
At this time, Zhang Guan thought of a person, Harrington, the representative of the American Intercontinental Hotels Group.
After returning to his residence, Zhang Guan found Harrington's business card and dialed Harrington's phone number.
"Mr. Harrington, I am Zhang Guan!" Zhang Guan said.
"Oh, Mr. Zhang, I really thought you would call me so soon. Have you made a decision now?" he asked excitedly.
"Sorry, I can't give you a definite answer yet. I just came back from our country's track and field management center and asked them for next year's track and field schedule, but they still gave me next year's schedule. If there is no conflict in the schedule, , I think I can participate in that boxing match." Zhang Guan lied. He has actually decided to participate. After all, Zhang Guan is reluctant to throw away the US$300 million appearance fee.
"Oh, that's such a shame," Harrington began.
"Mr. Harrington, you don't have to worry. I will definitely give you a definite answer this week." Zhang Guan continued: "Actually, I am looking for you because I have another matter that I need your help with."
"Mr. Zhang, please tell me, if it is within my power, I will never refuse." Harrington got it immediately.
"I know that you should have contact with the gambling collection team in Las Vegas. I want a copy of the winning odds for the athletes participating in the 2012 London Olympics." Zhang Guan then added: "It's for all events!"
"This is not difficult, but it is still very early before the London Olympics. The deadline for player registration is July next year. The official list of players will not be released until the registration deadline next year. There is still one year to go. Now The list of contestants is definitely inaccurate and must be very different from the final list of contestants." Harrington said.
"It doesn't matter. I mainly want to see who are the powerful players." Zhang Guan replied.
"Well, since you don't mind the accuracy, I will immediately contact Las Vegas to find the information you want. Once I find it, I will send the list of currently predicted contestants to your email." Harling Dun said.
Zhang Guan hung up the phone quite satisfied. There is still one year left before the London Olympics, and the registration for the competition has not started yet. Even if he goes to the International Olympic Committee or the London Olympic Organizing Committee to inquire, he still doesn’t know who will be at the Olympic Games next year. , which athletes will participate in which events.
But Bocai knew it.
The Olympic Games is a grand event for the betting industry. In order to formulate odds, betting companies will always collect information about popular contestants. Although there is still one year left before the London Olympics, betting companies can generally simulate Which athletes will participate in each event, and a preliminary odds set by the betting company can also reflect the level of the participating players from an objective perspective. Zhang Guan only needed to take a rough look at the odds of the British player to roughly guess the player's chance of winning. Coupled with some memories from his past life, Zhang Guan felt that he had the ability to snatch a few gold medals from Britain.
So Zhang Guan chose to ask Harrington for help. Since the collection team behind Harrington can afford an appearance fee of 300 million U.S. dollars and a bonus of 300 million U.S. dollars, they must be extremely powerful. They will definitely be able to provide Zhang Guan with help. something wanted.
…
Harrington quickly sent the gambling company's documents to Zhang Guan, and Zhang Guan also looked at the competition items one by one.
"In archery, the Koreans are definitely not as strong as the British. In badminton, only Denmark seems to be the only European country that plays badminton pretty well. But in front of China, South Korea and Malaysia, that's not a problem, and the British are even worse. No way. Basketball, it’s time for the Dream Team to come! There is no possibility for the British to win the championship.”
Zhang Guan continued to look down. Volleyball and beach volleyball were both team sports. Zhang Guan could not win the championship alone, so he didn't think about it. Zhang Guan didn’t know much about the kayaking project, so he put it aside. Although aquatic events are major gold medalists, there is an American team in swimming and a Chinese team in diving. Britain does not have the strength to win gold medals in aquatic events.
"Equestrian? This is the strength of the British team, and it is also the favorite to win the championship. However, in addition to the team competition, the individual event is dressage. This thing is scored, and Britain is the host country, so the referee will definitely give more points. Besides, After all, equestrian sports still need a good horse, so I’ll be looking for horse teeth somewhere soon!” Zhang Guan sighed helplessly, and he could only give up the idea of sniping at Britain in equestrian events.
"Boxing, 91 attacks and above, the British Anthony Joshua is the biggest favorite to win?" Zhang Guan suddenly laughed, he finally found the first opportunity to snipe the British.
