Chapter 366 Find a reason to be a magic stick
Chen Kangjie and his team only stayed in Hong Kong for one day and took a Nordic Airlines flight to Gothenburg.
There are flights from Hong Kong to Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, and Gothenburg, the second largest city. Because the European Championship is about to be held, Chen Kangjie and his group are quite crowded, so they didn't buy so many flights to Stockholm, so they chose to go to Gothenburg. It's almost the same anyway, because they all have to transfer to Malmö. The opening match of the 1992 European Championship was in Solna, but the first game of the Denmark team was held in Malmö.
When they flew from Kai Tak Airport to Landvetter International Airport in Gothenburg, it was already evening. Landvetter International Airport was 25 kilometers away from the city. Although Ouyang Zhenhua had arranged in advance that people from European companies would be greeted by them, it was already dark when they arrived in the city. As a last resort, they had to stay in Gothenburg for one night and then take the train to Malmö tomorrow morning.
In order for Chen Kangjie to have a short and comfortable life in Gothenburg, the person who arranged in advance rented a four-story apartment in the center of Gothenburg in the form of a "second-hand contract". The apartment was built in the 18th century and belonged to the Dutch style. This is related to the history of Gothenburg. Many of the buildings in this city are Dutch style. The simplest example is the city hall. The "second-hand contract" is specially prepared for short-term rentals. The time can be one or several weeks. Chen Kangjie will only be in Sweden for more than two weeks, which is just right. Ouyang Zhenhua originally planned to buy one or two apartments in Gothenburg, but Chen Kangjie felt it was unnecessary. It was difficult for him to live here for a long time. Just rent a house in the short term. Besides, if you want to buy it, it would be better to buy an ancient castle.
The road at the entrance of the apartment is only six or seven meters wide, and is paved with stones. The car can directly drive to the door. From the smooth surface of the stones, we can know that this small street has a heavy history. Almost all the houses on both sides are from the 20th century. The quaint tones, dim lights, solid road surfaces and walls make people feel that they can smell the smell of history from here. In contrast, the apartment has all modern living facilities, including home appliances, laundry rooms, and bathing equipment.
Chen Kangjie and his group were about ten people, and they could just stay. Qian Degui took such a long flight for the first time. He felt dizzy when he arrived in the city. His first time abroad was fresh, excited, and his eyes wide open, but he also realized that this was not a very easy thing. Everyone put down their luggage and went to the small restaurant on the corner of the street to have a simple meal. After they went back to their rooms to rest early, the jet lag was caused. Moreover, they had to take the train to Malmo early tomorrow morning.
Sweden has extremely developed railway transportation, with a total length of more than 10,000 kilometers, and almost all cities have railway connections. The next morning, Chen Kangjie and others did not drive to the train station themselves, but chose a tram, which was very punctual and fast. There was a station at the intersection of the small street where Chen Kangjie and others lived, which could go directly to Gothenburg Central Station.
When Chen Kangjie and his team boarded the train from Gothenburg to Malmö, Chen Kangjie had a new understanding of the trains in Sweden. Each car was very clean. Chen Kangjie and his team bought second-class carriages, each room with three people. In many other countries in Europe, second-class carriages are six people. For example, in the UK, the three-person room looks much wider and more comfortable. There are independent washbasins and small tables. The doors are plug-in switches like hotels, and there are also complete equipment at the rear of the carriage, including hot and cold shower rooms such as bath towels and air ducts.
According to Chen Kangjie's identity, he should have a more advanced first-class carriage. However, the first-class carriage is rarely located, and now it is the European Championship, there are many tourists and cannot buy more than ten seats at once. So Chen Kangjie chose to ride second-class with everyone. He, Ouyang Zhenhua and Han Geng happened to be in one room, and the other people's rooms were on both sides of them.
Compared with domestic trains, Swedish trains are like the difference between luxury hotels and 10 yuan hotels at train stations. Especially during the Spring Festival travel rush, the toilets and seats are all people under the seats. China has too many people, so it is basically unlikely to choose this way to operate, which is too wasteful of resources. However, if possible, it seems that it is not impossible to build one or two tourist buses like Sweden.
"Jie, this morning, the odds of William Hill have been issued. Their analysts Tony and William analyzed that the probability of the Danish team winning the championship is no more than three percent, which is the lowest among all participating teams, so the determined odds are thirty times." In the carriage, Han Geng began to report on the tasks assigned to him by Chen Kangjie.
The result was not released yesterday, so Han Geng did not report it. Chen Kangjie did not talk to him for everyone to rest early. This morning, Han Geng finally received the news and reported on his work. Chen Kangjie asked him to pay close attention to the odds about the Danish team.
"So low, then this team is here to go through the motions." Ouyang Zhenhua was immediately surprised when he heard that there was only 3% of the winning numbers.
Not to mention Ouyang Zhenhua was surprised, even Chen Kangjie was surprised. He had never bet on the ball. He thought that the odds of several times were considered high, but he didn't expect it to reach thirty times. It was too unexpected. In fact, Chen Kangjie didn't understand. If it was a single game, then the odds of several times were indeed very high. However, if you want to go from the group stage to the semi-finals, you have to reach the final. After so many games, it depends on your strength. The chance of variables is very small. For example, if the Chinese team plays a game with Brazil, although the chance of winning is not great, it does not mean that it is impossible. There are also mistakes and extraordinary performances, but if the Chinese team will win the World Cup now, it is estimated that except for those who have gambling mentality, they will not bet that the Chinese team will win the championship. Whether it is gambling mentality or patriotism, even if they face 30 times odds, even if they bet, they will not bet heavily, because that is equivalent to wasting money. They have only qualified once in the qualifiers for decades, and have not won a single goal, and they will return to China with a total defeat. Such a team will win the championship unless the opponents drink two bottles of Erguotou before the game.
Chen Kangjie did not tell them in advance the team they were going to buy, nor did he predict any score. That would turn himself into a charlatan. Making money in business can be said to be a ability, and creating can be said to be a genius. If even the results of the game can be accurately predicted, it is a charlatan. Therefore, even if Chen Kangjie reveals the score, he will only use one or two games to make gimmicks.
"That's not necessarily. The charm of sports competition lies in the fact that everything has unpredictable results. Whoever can tell clearly is the final winner. Otherwise, how could the term "dark horse" be invented? Just like buying a horse in Hong Kong, many people will get information that the horse will definitely win and has strong strength, but sometimes the result is that the dark horse that is not favored by everyone rushed out and jumped over the finish line first." Chen Kangjie was simply laying the groundwork for himself as a charlatan, as a reason to avoid the time he won and everyone was fussed.
"They also predict that the probability of the Dutch team winning the championship is 42% to 43%, with odds of 1.90%, and the French team 33% and odds of 2.7. Of course, these odds will be adjusted continuously as the game progresses." Han Geng took out a small note and continued to say the information he collected.
Of course, the Danish team can't enter the finals. Who would have predicted that SB would win less than three percent, and it would be even more impossible to maintain a 30-fold odds. When two teams compete for the championship, it would be difficult not to say 30 times, not to mention 30 times, it would be difficult to triple.
"The Netherlands really looks the most powerful to win the championship," Chen Kangjie said with a smile.
"Yes, except for William Hill, the other three European bookmakers have similar odds. They are most optimistic about the Netherlands, and Denmark is the least optimistic about the team."
"The reason why I asked you to follow the Denmark team is that they received a notice of participation two weeks ago. The famous midfield commander Michelle Lauderup is not with the team. Can such a team win? But I am a man, but I don't believe in evil and don't like the swarm. I always believe that a miracle will happen. I have a premonition that the Denmark team will be shameful and brave and achieve a good result." Chen Kangjie continued to find excuses for his unique bets below.
"This is probably a bit difficult. The analysts of gambling companies are very professional. They have touched the situation of almost every team many times. They are the real fans. Gambling companies rely on their analysis to open the market. Otherwise, how can gambling companies make money?" Han Geng knew more about these, so he gave Chen Kangjie a vaccination through the way of saving the country in a curve. He must believe the gambling companies' estimates.
"I don't doubt the research of bookmakers, but have you ever bought antiques?" Chen Kangjie's logic sometimes speaks is so leaps and bounds.
Han Geng and Ouyang Zhenhua were both stunned. What does this have to do with buying antiques? "Young Master Jie, I don't know about antiques. I just followed you and became a rich man, so I occasionally played with others, so I can also learn some tastes," Han Geng said embarrassedly.
"Then do you believe in those antique appraisers?" Chen Kangjie continued to ask.
"This,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"I don't doubt the professional skills of antique appraisers, but I doubt their qualities. Antique appraisers make money with auction companies. They must first be influenced by the auction company and serve the auction company. Otherwise, how could anyone buy fakes at the auction?"
