#685 - Chapter 685: You call more than one trillion not a lot? Sun Yue returns to China, a surprise?
People like Deng Xiaoyan and Bao Siwen have the money to bet offshore...
They're rich!
Even if they lose, it doesn't matter.
But many ordinary people, believing that the national football team will win, risk their fortunes and even their lives to earn that little bit of money...
Unacceptable!
The football match lasts a long time.
There's still time to salvage the situation!
"Xiaoyan, want to go out for a smoke?" Chen Hao asked with a smile.
"Smoke my ass!"
Deng Xiaoyan said with a mournful face, "1 billion! Enough for my ancestors for eighteen generations to smoke until they die, boo hoo hoo..."
"Come on, 1 billion isn't even a month's profit," Chen Hao scoffed.
"This..."
Deng Xiaoyan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "You're right—let's go smoke."
Damn it!
Bao Siwen couldn't help but give the middle finger.
Comparing people is infuriating.
His express delivery company, at long last, doesn't have to keep burning money, and is finally starting to make a profit.
But...
Compared to Deng Xiaoyan, they're not even on the same level.
1 billion isn't even Deng Xiaoyan's monthly bonus.
And he...
Bet 10 million.
Seeing that he's definitely going to lose, his heart is bleeding!
Of course, he still went to smoke with them, and Bai Tong, who doesn't smoke, also followed.
...
A corner outside the private room.
"Haozi, did you do it?"
Deng Xiaoyan said with a mournful face, "1 billion... you should have told me in advance!"
"Forgot," Chen Hao said with a sheepish smile.
"Boss, it really was you?!" Bao Siwen exclaimed.
The World Cup!
The win or loss is entirely at the boss's whim.
How could it not be awesome?
It's simply awesome!
Manipulating the outcome must have a purpose.
The purpose...
Isn't it to make money?
"Not much," Chen Hao took out his phone, preparing to make a call.
"How much is not much?" Deng Xiaoyan pressed.
"A little over 1 trillion."
Pfft!
The three almost spat blood.
You call a little over 1 trillion 'not much'?
Why don't you just go to heaven?!
"General Wang..." Chen Hao dialed the number.
"Commander, good news!"
Before Chen Hao could speak, General Wang said with an excited face, "You also injected the Brazilian team with genetic agents, right? Haha! I knew it! This time the higher-ups followed suit, spreading it across global betting markets..."
Chen Hao had told the old man his idea.
That's right!
Back then, Chen Hao shorted American stocks, firstly because it was related to the country's future, and secondly because the country didn't have much foreign exchange to begin with, so they really didn't dare to join him.
It's different now.
One or two trillion...
The country can afford to lose!
The key is that both the larger-scale second-phase nuclear power project and the Western Development Plan proposed by Chen Hao require massive financial support.
The country has money now, but having money is only relative.
A few hundred billion is a small matter.
A few thousand or tens of thousands of billions can be managed with gritted teeth.
But!
How much funding does Chen Hao's plan require?
Tens of trillions!
Today's China has become the world's leading power, earning money all over the world through civilian technology and arms exports... but it still can't withstand it!
This World Cup betting game can provide ample funding for the initial stages of the second-phase nuclear power and Western Development Plan.
As for the funding for the entire project cycle...
Especially the Western Development Plan.
Its scale defies the heavens!
It won't be completed overnight, and subsequent funding can be invested slowly, so there's no need to rush.
"Tonight, many people will jump off buildings," Chen Hao said suddenly.
"Huh?!"
General Wang was in high spirits, but was suddenly choked by this sentence.
He understood.
Chen Hao and the country are fleecing foreign sheep.
But they have overlooked the domestic betting market!
"Then what should we do?" General Wang asked anxiously.
"Ordinary people want to earn a little money, and it's not really a matter of violating laws and regulations, but... the bookmakers opening betting markets are violating criminal law!" Chen Hao said in a deep voice.
"You mean..."
"Issue an announcement and open a hotline for reporting!"
The bookmakers have broken the law.
Those ordinary people who placed bets can report the bookmakers through the hotline.
The bookmakers will be arrested and the bets will be returned!
"Understood!"
General Wang nodded, "I'll go do it now... By the way! Commander, the lunar lander will be launched tomorrow, do you have time to go to the site?"
Lunar landing?
Chen Hao subconsciously slapped his forehead.
For the past day or so, he has mainly been dealing with North America's freedom of navigation, as well as the layout of Gaza and Israel, and at night it was the World Cup fleecing.
He almost forgot about such a big event as the lunar landing.
"I must go!" Chen Hao nodded.
Lunar landing!
The first step in the three-step strategy for lunar development.
It was the plan he proposed.
It was the technical data he provided.
He is the chief engineer!
Not only is it of extraordinary significance, but as the first lunar landing, it must be ensured that there are no mistakes—he must go to the scene to be prepared!
"This time it's in Taiyuan," General Wang reminded.
"Taiyuan?" Chen Hao asked in confusion.
"It's closer to Shanghai, making it convenient for you to go—the old man specifically instructed it."
"..."
Chen Hao was stunned.
It's just a small detail, but it made him feel touched.
After all...
Even such a small detail can be considered by the old man.
Just as he hung up the phone, Bai Tong ran over, "Boss, phone call!"
He handed the phone to Chen Hao.
Coincidentally!
When Chen Hao was talking to General Wang, Fatty happened to be calling him.
He couldn't get through, so he called Bai Tong instead.
"Fatty, what's wrong?" Chen Hao asked with a smile.
"Are you guys having a party?"
On the phone, Sun Yue said with a mournful face, "Boo hoo... I'm working hard in Chile, and you guys are living it up in the lap of luxury in the country..."
"What lap of luxury? You've been to school for a few days, do you know how to use words?" Chen Hao scolded with a smile.
"What been to school for a few days? I studied hard for more than ten years, I went to a 985 university, okay?!"
"Speak quickly if you have something to say, fart quickly if you have a fart to release!"
"Brother Hao, guess where I am now?"
"You... you're back in the country?!"
"Haha..."
Fatty was so excited, "I've been busy for several months, and I finally have some time to relax. I'm almost at the hotel..."
He's back in the country!
He planned to give his brothers a surprise.
He just talked to Bai Tong, and learned that everyone happened to be together, eating at the Shangri-La Hotel, so he rushed over in a hurry.
"Damn it!"
On the phone.
Fatty suddenly blurted out a curse word.
"What's wrong?!" Chen Hao asked urgently.
Beep!
The phone had already been hung up.
Chen Hao quickly dialed again, but this time no one answered.
Something happened!
He dialed a certain number, first reported Fatty's phone number, and then said urgently, "In the shortest possible time, lock the location of this number and give me a location!"
"Something happened to the second brother!"
He hung up the phone and went straight to the elevator hall.
Seeing that the elevator was far away on the other floor, he immediately ran towards the safety passage.
The other people followed suit.
What exactly happened?
How could it be such a coincidence?
Actually.
Many coincidences are not necessarily coincidences.
Less than 300 meters from the Shangri-La Hotel.
The taxi that was originally heading to the hotel suddenly turned into a small road halfway.
A moment ago, Sun Yue was talking to Chen Hao and didn't pay much attention to the surrounding situation.
He wanted to give his brothers a surprise, and didn't notify anyone in advance, so there was no special car to pick him up—he hailed a taxi at the airport.
Of course.
He brought bodyguards.
But the bodyguards were sitting in the two taxis behind.
At this moment.
A fruit knife is against his neck!
