When other TV stations saw this situation, they also followed suit.
Unfortunately, the opportunity had been lost, and the effect was naturally far from being comparable to Yunqing TV Station.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Mr. Benton, you flatter me. I don't dare to say that I'll become popular. My goal is just to make the TV station famous. "
Mark Benton did not pester him on this and said seriously, "Mr. Xiao, we talked about the bet last time. Now that the two sides of the knockout stage have been determined, your country's football team will face the French football team. The odds you said at the time were 1: 2. I wonder if it still counts? "
Xiao Yunhai said righteously, "Of course not."
"Pfft."
"Hahaha."
The rich people who had been watching the show couldn't help but laugh when they heard Xiao Yunhai's words.
Mark Benton was obviously stunned for a moment, and there was a trace of anger on his face. He said, "Mr. Xiao, you have always been a man of your words. If you don't keep your words, it won't be good for your reputation."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I gave you a chance at the time, but you didn't take it. The British team and the French team were in the same group, and I watched their game. Although the British team won with their home advantage, the process was very difficult, and they won with a penalty shootout. There are also comments on the Internet that the French team is one of the favorites to win the World Cup. "
"Although I have confidence in Hua Xia's football team, I also know that no matter how you look at it, Hua Xia has almost no chance of winning. Therefore, I will never agree to the odds of 1: 2. I believe that the odds you offered should be higher than this. "
Wu Yong next to him interrupted and said, "Mr. Xiao guessed right. The odds of Hua Xia and the French team are 1: 2.1."
Xiao Yunhai clapped and laughed, saying, "I told you. Mr. Benton, if you want to bet with me, then raise the odds to 1: 3. Anyway, there are still a few days before the game. You can slowly think about it. "
"Good fellow, the odds of 1: 3 are high enough."
"In comparison, it's not too much. The French team is obviously stronger than Hua Xia's team. I wouldn't be surprised even if the odds were 1: 4. "
"If it were me, I would definitely bet with Mr. Xiao."
"Me too. The French team are almost all star players, and Hua Xia's team only strikers Ning Xinghua and Lu Hongwei. The others are obviously not on the same level................
The tycoons whispered to each other.
Mark Benton bit his lips and said, "Mr. Xiao, the odds of 1: 3 are a little high. The best I can accept is 1: 2.5."
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "Then there's nothing to discuss. As everyone can see, it's not that I don't want to bet, it's just that the odds aren't good. Mr. Benton, I hope this is the end of the matter. Please do not disturb me again. Everyone, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. "
Seeing that Xiao Yunhai was really about to leave, Mark Benton was a little anxious and said, "I agree to the odds of 1: 3."
Xiao Yunhai's face flashed with joy. He turned back with a serious expression and said, "Mr. Benton, you have to think carefully. The odds are 1: 3, not 1: 2.1. If I bet ten billion and win, you'll lose thirty billion to me. "
Mark Benton said, "Mr. Xiao, I don't need you to remind me. I can still do the math. I brought a hundred billion US dollars for this World Cup. I'll bet ninety billion with you. "
No matter how Mark Benton calculated, Hua Xia's football team was no match for the French team. Once Hua Xia lost, Xiao Yunhai would lose interest and return to China immediately. When that happened, there would be no chance of winning against him.
Therefore, he put all his eggs in one basket and bet almost all of his money.
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Mr. Benton, why don't you think about it again? If there's an upset, even if your family is rich, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to bear such a big blow. "
Mark Benton snorted and said, "Mr. Xiao, are you afraid?"
Xiao Yunhai said disdainfully, "I'm afraid? Haha, you really know how to joke. I brought a total of sixty billion US dollars this time. If you have the guts, you can bet another ninety billion and win it all. Hmph, I'm afraid you don't have that much money. "
At this time, David Steer suddenly walked in from outside and said, "Since Mr. Xiao is in such a good mood, how can we not keep you company? I'll pay the other ninety billion US dollars. "
"Mr. Steer, Mr. Benton, Mr. Xiao made me lose at least twenty billion US dollars last time in the Yazhou Electronics Technology Company. I'm here to take revenge this time. I hope Mr. Xiao can give me a chance. I'll also bet ninety billion US dollars against your thirty billion US dollars. No matter who wins or loses, we'll let bygones be bygones. "The president of Whirlwind Technology Company, Max Garcia, suddenly stood up and said.
The three tycoons seemed to see Xiao Yunhai as a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. They all offered ninety billion US dollars to bet with him, as if they already had victory in their hands.
Xiao Yunhai looked at the three and suddenly spread out his hands and said, "I'm sorry. To be honest, I only have five billion US dollars, and that's including the money I've won in the past two days. My money is all used to buy Steyr Networks shares, so for this bet, I can only … "
"It's okay."
Xiao Yunhai hadn't finished speaking when David Steer rudely interrupted him, saying, "It doesn't matter if Mister Xiao doesn't have any money on hand, as long as you sign a contract with us. Once you win, we'll give you the two hundred and seventy billion US dollars immediately. "
"Wow, Mr. Steer is forcing Mr. Xiao into a corner."
"A bet of three hundred and sixty billion US dollars is enough to be called the biggest bet of the World Cup in history."
"The three of them are really ruthless. Mr. Xiao might suffer a big loss this time. "
"But once he wins, he'll get two hundred and seventy billion US dollars. Mr. Xiao's wealth will soar again. "
"Haha, do you think Hua Xia's soccer team has any hope of winning? At least I can't see it. "
Xiao Yunhai secretly rejoiced in his heart, but his face was abnormally solemn. He said to the aggressive trio, "Since all of you insist on giving me the 270 billion USD, then if I don't accept it, it would be too ungrateful. Okay, I'll take this bet. "
David Stel smiled and said, "That's great. I'll ask someone to print out three copies of the agreement. If there's no problem, we'll just sign our names. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Okay."
In just ten minutes, the three copies of the agreement were done.
Xiao Yunhai looked at it seriously and did not find any problems, so he signed his name on the agreement.
Just as he put down the pen, Xiao Yunhai's cell phone rang.
"Coach, what did you say?" Xiao Yunhai picked up the phone. When he heard the first sentence, his expression changed and he stood up immediately.
David Steer seemed to have known about this news a long time ago. There was a flash of pride in his eyes.
"When did this happen? Half an hour ago. Why didn't you call me earlier? "
"Okay, I got it."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yunhai's face was pale. He sat down on the chair with an extremely ugly expression.
Suddenly, he raised his head. His gaze was like a sword, shooting straight at the smiling David Steer. He said sternly, "You already knew about it, didn't you?"
David Steer laughed loudly and said, "I just heard about it before entering this conference room. But I don't know how badly he was hurt. "
Xiao Yunhai pointed a trembling finger at David Steer and said, "Did you find someone to do it?"
David Steer shook his head and said, "How could I do something that breaks the rules? This was all an accident. Who would have thought that something like this would happen? "
Xiao Yunhai snorted and said, "No wonder you dared to bet so much with me. Mr. Steer, you win. "
After that, Xiao Yunhai took the three copies of the agreement and left the conference room angrily.
