Chapter 5258: Bankruptcy
Buffett is betting on football! Can we not bet?
This sentence is the headline of all media headlines now. Indeed, even the always cautious Buffett is betting on football, so what reason do we have not to bet? In this regard, the gambling group is naturally happy. They are extremely happy to see billions or even tens of billions of euros in revenue every day. They can predict that in this European Cup, they will make three times, or even four or five times the usual profit.
Of course, there is a premise, that is, swallowing such a large order from Lin Feng. If Spain wins the championship, they will lose a lot. However, they have sent people to keep a close eye on the Spanish team's every move. Of course, they don't want to do anything, they don't want to bribe or anything. In fact, in such an important competition, for a strong team, no player will choose to accept bribes and ruin their lives for a little money.
This is not only a matter of reputation, but also a matter of life. For national teams such as Spain, France, and Germany, if you have strong personal strength but don't play, affecting the team's performance, the fans will at most insult you. But if you accept black money and play a match-fixing on the court, I'm sorry, the fans will tear you apart. There may really be extreme fans who will launch a life attack on you.
Therefore, the gambling group did not think of bribing Spain to play a match-fixing. All they have to do is to keep an eye on Lin Feng and prevent him from playing a match-fixing. Of course, in order to ensure victory, all Spanish opponents will be secretly contacted and rewarded in the name of various sponsorship national teams, hoping that the team can play 120% of its strength to defeat Spain.
Therefore, for the gambling group, if Lin Feng bets on a certain team to lose. They dare not accept Lin Feng's order. This is something that no gambling group dares to accept, because there are too many places where you can play tricks in a single game. It's hard to guard against. Especially for such a huge order, it is feasible to spend billions to bribe. Therefore, once the bet amount for a single game exceeds one million US dollars, few gambling groups will accept it. What's more, it's hundreds of billions of dollars. This is why the gambling group would rather suffer some criticism than cancel the bet before.
But this time it was different. Lin Feng was betting on Spain to win the championship. There were six games in total, and Spain had only played one game so far. There were five games left. Will Spain win? There was a chance, but it was very slim. According to the conclusion drawn by the gambling group, the probability of Spain winning the championship was 1.6%. For hundreds of billions of dollars, betting on a 98.4% chance that Spain would not win the championship, if the gambling group did not bet, it would be a fool.
Although, because of Buffett, the amount of bets on Spain winning the championship has exceeded 230 billion euros, but they don't care! Still dare to bet. They take as many bets as there are. And they have not changed the odds. The odds of Spain winning the championship have always been so high. 13 times. If you want to make money and are optimistic about Spain, come and bet!
"230 billion euros. 13 times the odds,
That's 2.99 trillion euros. Almost enough to bring down these gambling groups." Lin Feng laughed, "At present, it seems that no one will buy it anymore. Those who have already bought it have all bought it. The rest, no matter what, will not buy it. Melissa, go talk to them. I want to see that they have the qualifications to compensate!"
Compensation qualifications? The gambling group frowned. Obviously, Lin Feng thought that they could not compensate if they lost. But you want a qualification appraisal. We will give it to you. The gambling group quickly contacted the Swiss Bank and showed Lin Feng their asset appraisal report.
"Tell your boss. No matter how much money he has, we can afford it!" The gambling group said proudly.
This time, 10 gambling groups took the order together, and their combined assets are as high as 4.5 trillion euros! You only have 230 billion euros and 13 times the odds, and you want to question that they can't compensate, that's a dream!
After a careful inspection, Melissa nodded.
"Our boss said that we will buy all the remaining balances from you." Melissa took out a check.
"This is 116.2 billion euros. If you win, it will be 1510.6 billion euros. Counting the previous amount, it will just bankrupt you!" Melissa showed the number on the check, "Now let's sign the contract."
The presidents of the top ten gambling groups looked at each other in surprise. Is Lin Feng serious? He is actually going to bankrupt them! Damn, is this guy so confident? Then, the ten presidents gathered together and held a meeting to discuss whether to accept Lin Feng's order.
In the end, the result of their discussion was to accept it! The reason is still the 98.4% probability. They believe in probability. If they don't make money, they may never encounter such a crazy gambling game in their lives. With a nearly certain win, they have no reason not to take a gamble.
"We accepted it!" The ten presidents said in unison. Then, everyone signed the contract with Melissa and got the check.
"Boss, the contract has been signed." Melissa called Lin Feng.
"Haha, just sign it. Hand the contract to Li Rui. Then you can do whatever you want. If you win this time, I'll give you 0.01% dividends!" Lin Feng said with a smile.
Swish, Melissa's face turned red. As a former famous French host, and having traveled with Lin Feng, Melissa is definitely well-informed and accustomed to big scenes. She has a strong psychological quality. But this time, her heart was beating wildly, almost piercing through her chest. The reason is this 0.01% dividend.
Don't look at this number as insignificant, that is, one in ten thousand dividends, but it is a huge number. If Spain wins, then Lin Feng will win 151.06 billion euros in compensation, one in ten thousand, that is 151.06 million euros! Although her current annual salary is very high, the basic annual salary, not counting any travel expenses, etc., is a million annual salary. All calculated, if there is no extra leave in a year, the basic annual salary is as high as 180+ US dollars. This number is already very high. She is very satisfied. You know, following Lin Feng, they eat whatever Lin Feng eats, and they live wherever Lin Feng lives. Basically, they don't need to spend any money in a year. Sometimes, when they go to some places, such as the Champs Elysees, Lin Feng will give them a quota of one or two hundred thousand dollars to go shopping freely to satisfy women's natural shopping desire.
They are very satisfied. But compared with this number, their salary is too insignificant. This dividend is enough to make them work for nearly a hundred years. How many hundred years can a person have in life? One, or only half.
"Boss... this, this is really too much!" Melissa stuttered a little.
"Haha, not much, not much. It's actually quite hard for you to follow me. I'm a person who walks around everywhere. If you follow me, it means that you have completely lost your own circle of life. So, this is the bonus I give you!" Lin Feng said with a smile.
"But this is still too much, and it's for one person. I feel ashamed to receive it!" Although Melissa also wanted the bonus, she was still blinded by greed. Lin Feng's secretary was not just her, but there were other people. Is it appropriate for her to take it alone?
"Don't worry. They will all get dividends. Although they are not around this time, it does not mean that they don't have dividends. Each of you will get 0.01% of the dividends! So, take it with confidence!" Lin Feng said with a smile.
This time, Melissa no longer refused, and screamed directly, and stepped forward to give him a passionate French kiss. Of course, there is no other meaning, it's just a French kiss. The French are romantic by nature. Things that other countries feel shy about, the French are calm. Therefore, this kiss has no meaning for the French. If there is any meaning, it is that Melissa does not hate Lin Feng. That's all.
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head.
"Lin, your secretary is really bold!" Prince William exclaimed.
Lin Feng and William have arrived in Austria at this moment. This European Cup was jointly hosted by Austria and Switzerland. With so much money bet this time, it would be fun to watch the game live.
"Haha, French people, that's how it is. By the way, how much did you bet this time?" Lin Feng asked.
"All the assets of Kate and I add up to 430,000 euros, and we bet them all." Prince William said helplessly.
Although he is a British prince, he has very few personal assets. After all, he has no job at present, and the disposable funds provided by the royal family are not much. In addition, he and Kate are in love. The royal family initially disagreed and banned the royal family members' allowances for him. In order to pursue romance, he has spent a lot of money over the years, so this is all his property. Of course, if he becomes the King of England, it will be different.
"Don't worry, after this game, you will get 13 times the compensation, which is enough for you and Kate to have a lot of private money. Whatever you want to do in the future, you can do it!" Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Are you really that confident?" Prince William sighed, "To be honest, no one knows that I bet on Spain, including Kate. After all, I am British, but I bet on Spain. If the British knew about this, it would be a disaster."
"Haha, don't worry, no one knows about this." Lin Feng laughed, "Just prepare to count the money with peace of mind!
Money is the most wonderful thing in the world. Of course, it is also the most evil. But no matter who you are, you will hope to have more money. It's just that some people care about the source of money! (To be continued)
