Chapter 49 - The First Pot of Gold

The game continues.

In 53 minutes, the Japanese team's Ono stretched two points and scored 2:3. But in the past 10 minutes, Torres of Paraguay scored another goal, and the 4:2 score also broke the Japanese hope of equalizing the score.

On the other side, Portugal fell into a 10 to 11 dilemma. The one-less Portuguese team lost a goal in the 56th minute, the score became 3: 2, the Portuguese team had fallen.

The coach of the Portuguese team had to make adjustments, replacing Diana Viana with Danny in 60 minutes, replacing Bosingwa with a goal scored by Merleris in 63 minutes and the last substitution in 74 minutes The quota was replaced by Mela and Martins. But the Portuguese team still did not score a goal.

In 81 minutes, the Japanese team Okubo Jiaren scored another goal, but Paraguay still led the Japanese team by 4:3, which is the final score of this game. In 83 minutes, in another game, the Italian also changed the score to 2: 2. As for Costa Rica against Morocco, it is still 0:0.

The game is almost over, Iraq still leads Portugal 3:2. How could the Portuguese willingly accept this score, so, at the last moment, they launched a fierce counterattack.

"The Portuguese team's counterattack is fierce, but there are five minutes left until the end of the game. Even if the five-minute injury time is counted, it is only ten minutes. It is estimated that the game will end at 3:2 or 3:3 In any case, the Portuguese cannot win, perhaps for the current Portuguese, a draw is also a very good result." Thomas said.

The referee gave five minutes of injury stoppage time, and the Portuguese team fell into the final madness, even the goalkeeper was eager to try, hoping to participate in the attack.

One minute and one second passed, and after more than ninety minutes of running, the Iraqi players were exhausted. But there are only three exceptions, that is, the three players who came up in the second half.

In the 93 minutes, the injury time and the stoppage period, the Iraqi team played a quick counterattack. In the second half, Sadir, who changed the field in 71 minutes, quickly broke through the Portuguese team's defense and scored a goal. The score became 4:2. This goal also destroyed the hope of the Portuguese. The referee was also very interested in blowing the whistle at the end of the game after the kick-off.

Iraq defeated Portugal 4:2 and the super big upset was born!

"A miracle, even God cares for the poor Iraqis!" Thomas did not expect that he witnessed a miraculous victory, and powerful Portugal lost to Iraq! Then he immediately thought that no one would suppress this score, and the company would make a small profit through this game.

At this moment, a statistician beside him suddenly said: "Someone bought Iraq 4:2 win Portugal, 3000 euros bet!"

...

For the gambling company, the upset meant that few people were able to win, and it also meant more profits. Especially Iraq's 4 2 victories over Portugal's wonderful score, certainly not many people buy it, the gambling company took all the buyers.

However, not all gambling companies will welcome this upset. For example, the company with 1:500 odds, although Zhang Guan only invested 1500 euros in it, at this odds the gambling company also has to pay Zhang Crown 750,000 Euros.

Other companies have also lost a lot of profits due to Zhang Guan's betting, ranging from three to four hundred thousand, as many as six to seven hundred thousand. Counting the cost of lottery issuance and the agency fees to be paid to OPAP, only a few companies made a little profit, others barely maintain the balance of payments and almost no losses.

Greece's OPAP also lost a lot in this game. Their odds are relatively high, and they received a bet of 4000 Euros, which was paid back to Zhang Guan in 880,000.

Zhang Guan silently calculated that in this game, the major gambling companies have to pay him a total of more than 4 million euros, but if it is shared evenly, each one is only 4.5 million.

...

Zhang Guan did not immediately go to receive the award, because the opening ceremony will be held on the evening of August 13th. The athletes who participated in the opening ceremony were busy until two o'clock in the morning before returning to the Olympic Village. The rest of the time was to them after three o'clock in the morning.

The next day, Zhang Guan slept all morning and did not get up until lunch. During the meal, Zhang Guan also learned from other athletes that in the morning match, Du Li won the women's ten-meter rifle event and won the first gold medal for the national team for the Olympic Games.

After dinner, Zhang Guan went to the Youth League to apply for the Olympic Stadium in Athens to familiarize himself with the playing field. The main stadium of the comprehensive stadium is mainly for track and field events. At present, the track and field events have not yet started, and athletes can go to familiar venues. According to the discipline of the national team, leaving the Olympic Village is to be reported, to explain the cause and whereabouts in detail, in principle, it is not allowed to act alone.

The other athletes of the track and field team have not yet reached Athens, so although Zhang Guan can only go alone, familiarity with the venue is allowed. Moreover, after the track and field competition begins, athletes have no chance to become familiar with the venue. The Olympic Village has a special bus to pick up and drop off. Athletes ride for free and don't have to worry about losing people, so the regiment department still allowed Zhang Guan's request.

Zhang Guan took the first bus in the afternoon to the Athens Olympic Stadium. After arriving, Zhang Guan went straight to the OPAP betting point to claim the prize.

As soon as he walked into the betting station, Zhang Guang was about to ask how to redeem the prize, but he was immediately recognized. It was the shop assistant who helped Zhang Guan bet the other day.

The clerk came out of the counter: "Oh, sir, it's you! God! I saw the game the day before yesterday, you bought it, it's incredible! You must have come to redeem it!"

"Yes, I am here to redeem the prize." Zhang Guan simply took out a tip of 100 euros and handed it to the clerk. He said, "Thank you for the good luck. But I want to know how I should redeem the prize... "

"Thank you for your generosity." The clerk accepted the tip, with an excited smile on his face, and then said: "Please wait in the VIP lounge first, I will report your arrival to my supervisor immediately.

Perhaps it was the effect of tipping. Zhang Guan only waited three minutes, and the clerk came in and said, "Sir, I already went to report to the supervisor. Your winning amount is relatively large, so you need to go to our company headquarters to receive your prize money. "

"Where is your headquarters? Is it far from here? You know I am a tourist and I am not familiar with Athens." Zhang Guan said.

"The headquarters is not far from here. I suggest you go by taxi. If you need it, I can call you a taxi." The clerk said.

"That will be very helpful." Zhang Guan answered, and the clerk immediately called Zhang Guan a taxi, told the taxi driver the address, and took Zhang Guan to OPAP's headquarters.

After arriving at the OPAP headquarters, Zhang Guan explained his intention and was immediately led to the VIP room.

After a while, a middle-aged man came to the VIP room. When he saw Zhang Guan, he introduced himself immediately: "Hello sir, this is Osedolis, I am very happy to serve you."

"Hello, I'm here to claim the prize." Zhang Guan went directly to the theme.

"Sir, you are a God-feared person. Iraq defeated Portugal 4: 2. You predicted this score. It is a miracle." Osadolis continued: "We have calculated, what you bet if you redeem the lottery ticket, deducting the personal income tax payable, you can also get 3.733 million euros. "

"Okay, may I ask when I can get the money." Zhang Guan asked anxiously.

"Anytime." Osadoris smiled professionally, and then said: "However, our company has a small request."

"Request?"

"Yes, we hope to be able to report on your winnings. You know that it is uncommon for you to win more than four million at a time, and you still bought a big upset. What's more, you are a tourist, your deeds can greatly drive other tourists to buy our company's products." Othodoris said.

"Report? I'm afraid this is not good! I don't want to be too high-profile." Zhang Guan wanted to refuse.

Osterias said immediately: "Sir, I can understand your thoughts. I also know that Chinese people are always low-key. Even the people who receive awards are masked, but in the West, winning the grand prize is not one thing that needs to be deliberately hidden. And you only need to use a photo that awards you, it won't be too troublesome for you. And if you agree, our company can introduce you to a professional accountant. "

"Accountant?" Zhang Guan stunned slightly.

"You have won so many bonuses, you need to transfer the money back to China. If you take the normal route, it will not only be troublesome but also need to pay a lot of fees. But if an accountant helps you, it will save you a lot of trouble, but also can help you save a lot of handling fees." Osodoris said.

The conditions opened by Othodoris made Zhang Guan very emotional. In western developed countries, accountants not only serve enterprises but also serve individuals. Accountants can help clients save money on loans, taxes, financial management, and even divorce to divide the property. And if you want to move funds across countries, it is essential to find a local accountant.

However, Zhang Guan is still worried that the report will cause himself some trouble. He does not worry about the media hype. There are only people who are more and more popular in this world. This time is only more than 4 million pre-tax bonuses. The European Millionaire Lotto will issue a lot of bonuses for over ten million pounds every year. The Premier League has so many games every year. Betting on the profit of hundreds of thousands of pounds is not new. By then, there will be a lot of popular people. So Zhang Guan is worried about whether the national team will cause trouble. So he did not immediately reply to Osedolis.

"Sir, please be assured that we will protect your privacy. If someone asks for your name, we will keep it confidential. In the report, we can use the" tourist from China" to call you. We only need to borrow one of the photos of the awards that all." Osadolis said immediately.

Zhang Guan thought about it again. If the award-winning photos appear without the name, the impact will be much smaller, it can be said that there is almost no one who knows him in Europe. As for the success of winning awards in the future, it is a matter of more than ten days later. It is now during the Olympics. Every day, new records and new champions are born. The release of various news messages is as fast as the screen. Ten days later who will even notice the news of his award?

Moreover, Zhang Guan considers that he has other bets, and then he has to redeem the prize from OPAP. It is better to make a good relationship first and get the money. These Europeans boast of themselves as the side of justice, but in fact, it is uglier than anyone else to eat. A gambling company can find an excuse to devour its own money.

"Make sure you get the money first!" Zhang Guan said, thinking of this, "Well, I can promise you, but please don't show my name."

...

Zhang Guan returned to the Olympic Village, and the athlete who he met from the men's basketball was in the cafeteria was eating.

Seeing Zhang Guan, Yi immediately sat over with a plate and said excitedly, "Zhang Guan, you have to treat me."

"Why?" Zhang Guan looked at Ah Yi puzzled.

Ah Yi smiled: "I just got up today and I knew that Iraq beat Portugal 4:2, and it was bought by you. You have to make hundreds of thousands of dollars. We have to share, and you have to invite me to dinner.

In the car that day, Zhang Guan showed only one lottery ticket, so Ah Yi thought Zhang Guan only won a few hundred thousand euros.

Zhang Guan pointed to Ah's plate: "Aren't you almost finished?"

"Please eat something else, and snacks will also work." Ah Yi smiled strangely.

"Well, after a while, go to the supermarket, let me pick the restaurant." Zhang Guan said cheerfully.

"Good, Zhang Guan said to go to the supermarket for a while, let us pick!" Ah Yi shouted behind Zhang Guan, Zhang Guan turned back and found that the other players in the men's basketball team were standing behind, staring at him.

"Ah, you tricked me!" Zhang Guang exclaimed.

"No, I told you a long time ago that the audience has a certain share, so everyone on our basketball team must come!"
