Chapter 58: When the Bet is in Progress (Part 1)
As the saying goes, to conquer a man, you must first grasp his stomach.
In Zhuang Mingge's opinion, this sentence also applies to women. Haven't you seen a girl on the Shangzhao catch a foodie nun by relying on a pack of instant noodles and average cooking skills?
All the college students in the Celestial Empire had a reasonable cooking skills, otherwise they would have been killed by the ground, ditch, oil, Su, Dan, Hong and others.
Because his parents often have to work overtime, Zhuang Mingge, who has no one to cook, has practiced cooking skills since he was a child. Taking advantage of this time, all the people from this small "Gambling Group" have arrived. Recently, he is tired of eating spaghetti, ready to show off his skills.
As for the ingredients used for cooking, of course, there is no need for a rich young man like Zhuang Mingge to go out to purchase them personally. If you list the required ingredients, you will naturally buy these ingredients back.
So, when Karin, Alisa, Little Groz and other women sat on the dining table, they were surprised to find that the spaghetti, steak, vegetable salad that they often ate were gone. They only felt that the dishes placed on the table were fragrant, but none of these women could accurately call out the names of these dishes.
"Tony, you did all these?" Karin looked at Zhuang Mingge in disbelief.
"Yes, let me introduce it to you. This dish is peeled egg tofu, this dish is soft fried tenderloin, that dish is stewed lion's head, and..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhuang Mingge was pulled to the corner of the restaurant by Karin: "Tony, why haven't you told me about this after we have lived together for so long~"
Hello, Karin, can you not get angry when you speak? It’s very scary!
Of course, Zhuang Mingge did not tell the complaints in his heart without knowing his life, but quickly ran his brain at full speed to find a reason to fool the goddess: "Well, that, Kalin, you haven't come to my house for dinner this year. Of course, it's impossible for me to know that I can cook Chinese food myself..."
"Chinese food?" Karin found a clue from Zhuang Mingge's words and raised her eyebrows, "You can actually make Chinese food?"
For most foreigners, the Celestial Empire, which had just not been reforming and opening up for many years, is still a mysterious place, and Karin can't help but doubt Zhuang Mingge's words.
"I swear to God! It is definitely an authentic Chinese food! I learned it from the owner of a Chinese restaurant in the years you went to study in the United States!" The omnipotent God, although we don't believe in you and even told lies, I still ask you to express your compassion and let me successfully pass this level.
If you don’t commit suicide, you won’t die. Zhuang Mingge has finally understood the meaning of this sentence.
"Hmph, I'll let you go this time~" Karin let go of the hand holding Zhuang Mingge's collar, and tidied up Zhuang Mingge's wrinkled clothes for him like a wife who was sending her husband to work. She took the opportunity to put her lips close to Zhuang Mingge's ears and said softly, "You will be responsible for the three meals a day after you go back~"
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Mingge smiled bitterly: Will he become a housewife like Hong A in the future?
Putting aside this little thing, this dinner can be called the guests and guests. Rosella, Francesca, Alisa and Groz fully experienced the deliciousness of a Chinese-style meal. After dinner, Alisa kept talking about opening a chain Chinese-style restaurant in Italy in the future.
After dinner, Zhuang Mingge and others gathered in the same room
"Rebecca, how about the funds in Southeast Asia now?" Because of the "middle-finger incident" caused by Effenberg, although Zhuang Mingge has been staying in this manor these two days, he has not paid much attention to the trend of this gambling fund. In two days, for a real-time "game" like betting, there are enough unpredictable changes.
Today is June 30, and the group stage of the World Cup has all ended. Since 1994 was too long since Zhuang Mingge traveled through time and without the full memory ability of a bug, Zhuang Mingge only has a few more famous impressions of this World Cup group stage: the first is of course Effenberg's middle finger, and the second is that Roger Mira became the oldest goalkeeper in the history of the World Cup at the age of 42 in the game against Russia on June 28. The last one also happened in this game. Russian striker Salenko, who scored one goal in the previous two group matches, won five yuan alone, and shared the Golden Boot Award for this World Cup with Bulgaria's "Pierre Fire" Stoichikov, a big upset.
Stoichikov is a world-class striker. In the betting of the Golden Boot Awards, the bookmakers and those betting groups will definitely not set his odds very high; but who is Salenko? I guess many people have never heard of his name before the World Cup. Casinos in Southeast Asia also specially added the odds of this striker after receiving several bets from Panama and the Virgin Islands (in fact, Zhuang Mingge was just Groz who transferred money through layer by layer, disguised and transferred the gambling funds into these casinos). Only after they deliberately added the odds of this striker - 100 yuan in 1, is the player with the highest odds on the shortlist. If there is no change, the profits made by this bet will be enough to make everyone present live without worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
"It's almost done, the $30 million (including the $20 million invested by Zhuang Mingge himself) has begun to flow according to the direction you designated, and it is expected to be all deployed within 24 hours! In this way, before the quarterfinals of 16 starts, we can complete the first stage bet." Groz made a serious report to "Commander" Zhuang Mingge, "Also, for the bet on the World Cup Golden Boot Awards, before the opening game of the World Cup begins, I will ask my subordinates to bet $2 million each on Stoickov and Salenko according to your instructions. You and us each account for half of these two funds."
“Good done!”
"Brother Antonio, you really guessed it. This striker named Salenko scored five goals in the game the day before yesterday, and now he is far ahead in the scorer list." Alisa looked at Zhuang Mingge with admiration, "I heard from Sister Karin that no one in the previous four World Cup best scorers could score more than six goals. It seems that our sisters can make a lot of money this time~"
"You little money fan..." Zhuang Mingge looked at the little girl who looked more like her "sister" and rubbed Alyssa's little head in a doting way. "This is just an appetizer, wait and see. When the knockout stage begins, it is time for our football betting work to be officially run!"
