"Boss, Heitaro Nakajima had some problems these few days." Masao Kameda reported to Feng Yu while he was eating hotpot.
Feng Yu put down his chopsticks: "What's wrong? Is it related to the company or his personal matter? "
Feng Yu guessed it was most likely a personal matter. If it was related to the company, Masao Kameda should have asked his men to settle it.
"Heitaro Nakajima had announced that he had bet heavily on Hua Xia team to enter the semi-finals and did not bet on our Japanese team. Many Japanese were unhappy with this, and Sony and other companies used this opportunity to slander Heitaro Nakajima and even AIWA."
Heitaro Nakajima had bet heavily on Hua Xia team to enter the semi-finals? It should be the day when they were in the hot spring, and Heitaro Nakajima overheard the conversation between Feng Yu and Masao Kameda.
Feng Yu laughed and shook his head. This old man knew how to flatter others.
"Oh? How did Heitaro Nakajima deal with this? "
"Heitaro Nakajima had announced that Sony and other companies did not bet on the Japanese team to enter the semi-finals. He had still bet on some Japanese teams to enter the semi-finals. But he felt that the chances of a Japanese team entering the semi-finals is not high. In Japan, there are no legal spinach companies. "
"That's why he said that betting on the Japanese team to enter the semi-finals is equivalent to giving money to those foreign companies. He had only bet on the matches that he felt will be the most profitable. He had even bet on Hua Xia team to win the championship. This has nothing to do with the country. It is just a personal hobby. "
"How much did he bet?"
"At least 1 billion Yen, about 10 million USD. Most of his bets are on Hua Xia team entering the semi-finals and the finals. I think this should be the majority of Heitaro Nakajima's cash. "
"Ok. I know."
Feng Yu did not comment further and did not ask Masao Kameda how much he had bet. Actually, he was also worried. Although Hua Xia team was stronger than in Feng Yu's previous life and should be able to enter the quarter-finals, Feng Yu is not sure if they can go further.
There are too many uncertainties in the competition. In his previous life, Hua Xia did not even make it to the quarterfinals.
However, this time, Hua Xia was not in the same group as the United States. In addition, her strength had indeed greatly improved, so the media was generally optimistic that Hua Xia would enter the top eight. However, other than Hua Xia's media, no one thought that Hua Xia could enter the top four.
However, the competition had already started a few days ago, and Hua Xia's team had won all four matches.
Although the winning margin was not big, it was not thrilling. Basically, from the beginning of the first quarter, they were in the lead until the end.
This result was enough to guarantee that Hua Xia's team would advance to the next round.
However, compared to Hua Xia's team, the American team had won big. There were also Argentina, Spain, Russia, and so on. They were all traditionally strong teams, and all of them had complete victories.
These four teams were widely predicted to enter the top four. Germany, France, Lithuania and Greece also had hopes.
Hua Xia? No one had ever considered it.
Feng Yu was not too worried. He just wanted to let nature take its course. In any case, this year's World Championship was getting a lot of attention. Not only were the various countries promoting it, but Spinach was also helping to promote it. Therefore, the advertising effect of the competition was getting better.
This time, Wind and Rain Holdings and Taihua Holdings had invested quite a lot. Of course, they had also invested a lot of money in advertising for the World Championship. There were still a lot of people who paid attention to sporting events, and it was also good for brand promotion.
Just like Coca-Cola, they would never miss out on a major sporting event like this. Ironically, most athletes were not allowed to drink Coke.
Red Can Qili, as the official beverage for Hua Xia's team, had appeared quite a few times in front of the televised cameras.
Japan was also a big consumer of beverages. It was just that Wahaha, Jianlibao, and other brands did not have a smooth entry into the Japanese market as they were squeezed out by the local companies.
This time, these brands gained a certain amount of fame in Japan. If Hua Xia's team could achieve better results, it would be even better.
Of course, the athletes were wearing Aiwa's MP3 players, Wind and Rain mobile phones, and were wearing Hua Xia's own sportswear. These were all advertisements.
Only by achieving better results could they maximize the effectiveness of these advertisements. Simply put, the better the results, the more competitions the athletes will participate in, and the longer the product will be shown in front of the cameras.
Feng Yu's bet was also a form of publicity. Many people who betted knew that Hua Xia's team had received heavy bets. Even some people who did not care about the team knew about it. It was because of the news.
This way, Hua Xia's team will receive more attention, and it will increase their brand awareness.
But at the same time, it will have a negative impact on Hua Xia's team. It was not that Hua Xia's team members were under a lot of pressure. It was because the other teams were excited when they met Hua Xia's team. They treated Hua Xia's team as a strong team.
In the past, only those traditional strong teams received such treatment.
For example, many teams were very excited when they played against the Dream Team, and some of the players were very enthusiastic.
At this time, some voices came from the US, and it was Paul Allen.
"Hua Xia's team entered the semifinals? Are you kidding me? We overestimated them, and this is because they had trained in the US. If not, they won't even enter the quarterfinals. "
When a reporter asked him if he felt that the stars of this American Dream Team were dim, Paul Allen immediately retorted that these young players were very good. Although they had less time to train in professional leagues, they were more motivated. They would definitely be able to wash away the humiliation that the American team suffered last time and regain the championship!
Also, Paul Allen had bet heavily on the US team to win the championship. This is a profitable business, and he has no reason not to do it.
At the same time, many US basketball stars expressed that they also think the US team will win the championship easily. Many of them even said that their friends had bet on the US team to win the championship.
But in the US, there were different opinions.
Kirilenko said that the US team will not be able to win the championship this time. They might not even be able to enter the finals. As for Hua Xia's team entering the semifinals, he did not think it was impossible.
Very quickly, some people objected. They felt that Russia entered the semifinals with a wild card. They did not even qualify for the US team. Kirilenko was just bragging. He had always been like this.
In the end, Kirilenko also said that he had bet 30 million USD on Hua Xia's team and Russia's team entering the semifinals!
This was the largest single bet in this year's Men's Basketball World Championship, and it shocked many people.
But even so, no one thinks that Hua Xia's team will enter the semifinals. They believe that Kirilenko was tricked by Feng Yu and bet recklessly. Or maybe Kirilenko bet a lot on Russia and very little on Hua Xia.
It was said that Feng Yu also bet heavily. This was the beginning of Feng Yu's failure. This is different from the US basketball team. Feng Yu's team can win the championship because of the many American all-stars!
The players on Hua Xia's team are all marginal players. From now on, Feng Yu will no longer be a miracle!
