At that moment, a middle-aged British man in his fifties walked over and scrutinized Xiao Yunhai for a while, but he had no intention of shaking hands with Xiao Yunhai.
"Mr. Xiao, I've finally met you in person. You're indeed a heroic young man. My name is Mark Benton. You may not be familiar with me, but you should be familiar with my nephew. His name is Hanks. "
Xiao Yunhai was stunned and said, "Hanks is your nephew? Then Mr. Benton and Mr. Stel are relatives. Ah, Mr. Benton, you're really magnanimous. Hanks is Mr. Stel's illegitimate son. All this time, he didn't even have a status. If I were you, I would have sought justice for them. Haha, people really can't be compared to each other. "
When Mark Benton heard that, he was furious and said, "Mr. Xiao, you're really an expert at sowing discord."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Mr. Benton, please calm down. I've always said what I think. Please don't mind."
Mark Benton suppressed his anger and said, "I heard that Mr. Xiao won 700 million US dollars in his first bet. You're really amazing. Hanks lost more than 100 billion US dollars to you. As his uncle, I really want to avenge him. Now that the whole world is betting on football, I wonder if Mr. Xiao can give me this opportunity? "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Of course. My gambling habits are still pretty good. In the next two games in the group stage, I bet on Hua Xia's team to win. If you want to beat me and avenge Mr. Hanks in heaven, you can bet on the other two teams. "
"Pfft."
An Arab oil tycoon who was drinking red wine almost spat out the red wine when he heard Xiao Yunhai's words.
The two teams in the same group as Hua Xia and Portugal were far weaker than Hua Xia's football team. Unless there was an upset, there was no hope for them to win. Otherwise, the odds would not be 1: 0.4.
The others also tried their best to hold back their laughter and turned their heads to the side.
Mark Benton's expression was ugly. He said, "Mr. Xiao sure knows how to joke. I heard that when Mr. Xiao was interviewed, he said that the goal of the Hua Xia national football team is the World Cup. Haha, that sounds like a joke to me. After the group matches, if nothing goes wrong, Hua Xia's opponent should be our British team or French team. If Mr Xiao was really that confident in Hua Xia, would he dare to take a gamble with me? Whether you meet England or France, you will lose without a doubt. "
A smile appeared on Xiao Yunhai's face as he said, "To be honest, your provocation method is really terrible. But congratulations, you've succeeded. I'll bet one billion US dollars that Hua Xia will win. "
"One billion USD? Hahaha. " Mark Benton sneered and said, "Mr. Xiao, you're really generous to only bet one billion US dollars in front of so many rich people. For anyone who joins our betting team, the starting price is ten billion US dollars. That's the rule. "
Xiao Yunhai gave an 'oh' and said, "So that's how it is. Then I won't bet. Because whether it's the British team or the French team, they're both ranked higher than Hua Xia, and I heard that the odds are set by you guys. If you come up with a super high odds of 4: 1, then I'll lose a lot. "
Mark Benton said, "This is a bet between the two of us. It has nothing to do with anyone else. The odds can be set by both of us."
Xiao Yunhai asked, "Then what do you think is the appropriate odds?"
Mark Benton thought for a moment and said, "1: 1.2."
Xiao Yunhai sneered and said, "Mr. Benton, are you bullying me because I don't know football? The odds of the game just now were 1: 1.4, and the British and French teams are ranked higher than Portugal. How can you say 1: 1.2 odds? Mr. Benton, if you want me to bet with you, unless the odds between Hua Xia and the other party are 1: 2. Otherwise, this matter will end here. Haha, anyway, there's still a lot of time. You can think about it. I'm hungry now and need to eat something. I won't accompany you. "
With that, Xiao Yunhai took a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray and ran to the side to eat.
Mark Benton frowned but he didn't say anything.
"Mark, the odds of 1: 2 are a bit high. The risk is too high. It's best if you don't bet," David Steer said.
Mark Benton said, "But no one can deny that whether it's France or England, they have a high chance of winning against Hua Xia. Kungfu Xiao wants to win big with a small bet. Why shouldn't I give him a chance? "
David Steer thought for a while and shook his head. "I still don't recommend you bet."
Mark Benton smiled. "I'm not a child, and I'm not an impulsive person. Let's see how the situation goes. David, your company's share price seems to have fallen by 6% today. It's not a good sign if this continues. "
David Steer nodded and said, "I'm already prepared to make a move to stabilize the share price. Kungfu Xiao is right. Not only is he buying Steer's shares on the market, there are at least five other mysterious buyers. I've already found out about three of them. The other two are hiding well. But if they don't stop tomorrow, my economic team will still be able to find them. "
Mark Benton asked, "Who are the three buyers? Could it be that Kung Fu Xiao is right? "
David Steer nodded and smiled bitterly. "That's right. They're all acquaintances, and they're all here. But I'm not angry about this. If it were me, I would do the same. "
Mark Benton asked, "It's fine if they just want to make money, but could they have other motives?"
David Steer said confidently, "That's impossible. Not only do we have absolute control of Steyr Networks, but no one has the ability to buy more than 10% of the shares. Even Kungfu Xiao, the richest man in the world, can't do it. "
Mark Benton nodded and said, "That's true. I'm a little too sensitive. "
Unfortunately, the two of them didn't know that Xiao Yunhai had already made a move on them and had already bought 6.8% of the shares from the stock market. At the same time, Christy and Williams Ash were secretly negotiating with two of David Steer's hardcore supporters. Once they succeeded, Xiao Yunhai would have 13.2% of the shares and become the second largest shareholder of Steyr Networks.
Just as the two of them were talking, Xiao Yunhai was surrounded by many rich people who wanted to befriend him.
In the business circle, Xiao Yunhai had always been a legendary figure. He graduated from university at the age of 22 and didn't have a single cent on hand. It was said that sometimes he didn't even have enough to eat. But it was such a poor student who relied on his own talent and courage to build a huge empire in four years. He built a powerful entertainment empire and became the richest man in the world with hundreds of billions of dollars.
Everyone couldn't help but want to talk to such a person out of curiosity. Even those Arab rich people gathered around.
Xiao Yunhai naturally didn't refuse anyone. With his humorous and witty conversation and strong affinity, his laughter spread throughout the hall in a short while.
Seeing that Xiao Yunhai was like a fish back in water after arriving here and quickly becoming friends with those world-class tycoons, David Steer regretted inviting him over.
At 11 pm, Xiao Yunhai returned to the hotel reeking of alcohol.
Zhao Wanqing covered her nose and said unhappily, "Hubby, how much did you drink?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I got to know a lot of rich people today and drank a few more cups. But I wasn't drunk, and I didn't bet. You can rest assured. "
Zhao Wanqing said unhappily, "Drink or not, gamble or not. I don't care about you. You just don't lose me and the child. "
Xiao Yunhai hugged her delicate body and said, "What kind of joke is this? You are the most important family in my life. I will never let anything happen to you. "
Zhao Wanqing felt sweet in her heart, but she said impolitely, "Don't say such nice words. What you need to do now is to let go of me and take a shower immediately. The smell of alcohol on your body is so disgusting. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Yes, sir."
