Chapter 56

Time passed quickly, and more than half a year passed in a twinkling of an eye.

From the second half of 1989 to the first half of 1990, the event that gambler Gao Jin defeated Singapore's gambling king Chen Jincheng has long been a thing of the past, and the world gambling world is also calm.

But in the summer of 1990, a big event happened in world football because the 14th World Cup came.

In 1990, the world cup was held in Italy, which is the most popular place for European football. Because the level of Italian Football League A is the highest among the five European leagues, it is also jokingly called "Small World Cup". This world cup is very classic, because many superstars in future generations made their debut at this world cup and play an important role in the history of world football.

On this day, two uninvited guests came to Milan International Airport in Italy, Guo Lingfeng and Chen Xiaodao, who had not appeared for a long time.

Guo Lingfeng and Chen Xiaodao followed Gao Jin to his villa in Las Vegas and began to learn systematically since they worshipped Gao Jin. In the twinkling of an eye, more than half a year later, they have practiced their basic skills of playing cards, mahjong and dice very solidly.

Gao Jin is proficient in many gambling techniques, of which the three are the best. Gao Jin also taught them all kinds of skills in Qianmen. Although he never made a thousand, few people in the gambling world dare to make a big difference in front of him if he wants to say a thousand skills.

Guo Lingfeng and Chen Xiaodao began to frequently go in and out of the major casinos in Las Vegas three months ago, because Gao Jin hopes that they can experience more actual combat. They can practice their skills behind closed doors, but they can never become masters without actual combat.

The two never love war. They get away immediately after winning $200000 each time. As a gambler, you must keep a low profile. As Gao Jin is a gambling God, although he has long been famous in the gambling world, few people really know him.

So after three months of casino practice, they both feel that their level has made great progress. In the meantime, they were not plain sailing. Guo Lingfeng once met an expert. They met on the same baccarat gambling table, and five gamblers participated. They gambled for more than three hours. Guo Lingfeng won enough $200000 and left. The expert also won more than $200000, more than Guo Lingfeng.

In fact, it doesn't take so long to win enough $200000 with the strength of Guo Lingfeng and the expert. However, as a gambler, he must keep a low profile, or if he is found by the casino, he will certainly be included in the list of "unwelcome guests of the casino". So Guo Lingfeng and the expert tacitly understood that they would win five or six innings and then lose two or three innings. Only with a long stream of water can they win money safely.

As the saying goes, "there are people outside the people, and there are days outside the world", Guo Lingfeng certainly won't feel that he is very arrogant to worship the gambling God as a teacher. There are many gamblers in the world. These unknown gamblers are often the most dangerous - because they are low-key, you have no way to understand him.

Gao Jin has been included in the list of "unwelcome guests in casinos" by major casinos in Las Vegas, so he can't gamble in casinos easily. So he usually raises flowers, fishes and shows his cooking skills at home. He spends about four to five hours a day studying stocks, futures and so on.

In addition to being proficient in gambling, Gao Jin is also very good at investing in stocks and futures. In addition to several stocks he holds for a long time, others are short-term speculation. He has made more than 80 million US dollars in the past six months.

Gao Jin also often bets in gambling companies to buy the periphery of some football matches. The bet amount is about tens of thousands of dollars, the winning rate is more than 90%, and he also won more than 9 million dollars. Therefore, Guo Lingfeng and Chen Xiaodao will admire master in all their hearts - even if they don't enter the casino, they are also the God of gambling!

During this period, Gao Jin almost took out all the funds he could use, borrowed a lot of money from friends such as Shangshan, and spent $300 million to buy an office building on Wall Street.

Guo Lingfeng knows that this office building is located in the center of Wall Street in New York. It will continue to increase in value rapidly in recent years, and this office building can earn a lot of income from rent alone every year. By the end of 1994, the timeline of the movie "God of gamblers 2" will soar to about $1 billion. This office building is the most important asset of GAOJIN both now and in the future.

In early June, Guo Lingfeng and Chen Xiaodao said goodbye to Gao Jin. They had already booked tickets for many World Cup games. Of course, watching football is just a hobby. They will also complete a big test for them, that is to win $50 million in this world cup!

A total of 24 teams will participate in this world cup, with a total of 52 games. It was not until the 1998 World Cup final that the army was finally expanded to 32 teams, and then the Games increased to 64.

Gao Jin only allows them to use the initial fund of 100000 US dollars. They have to bet with 100000 US dollars in 52 games. Then at the end of the world cup, the 100000 US dollars must become 50 million US dollars, otherwise they will fail the exam.

Gao Jin didn't win much money by gambling. First, he only bought one game every three or five times, and didn't spend much effort; Second, it is because he uses less funds than Guo Lingfeng and them, with a maximum of about $30000 each time. So he won more than $9 million in the past half a year. If he gambled seriously and bought every game, it would not be difficult to win $50 million in 52 games, even if he had only an initial gambling capital of $30000.

Guo Lingfeng is a "fake fan" in the real world, that is, he will watch the world cup and the European Cup. He never watches the national football match, mainly because he doesn't want to be angry. There are too many online satirical jokes about the national football team. What he is most familiar with is "we don't score goals, we are just football porters". There is also a sentence "the Chinese football team is the most stable team in the world. We have been imitated and never surpassed!"

Guo Lingfeng was not born in 1990. Some of the information he learned was only known on the Internet later. Therefore, some people say that he can buy scores all the way and win big money all the way with the memory of the jumper. This is pure nonsense!

Even a veteran fan, can you remember the scores of all the Games in each world cup? I can't even remember the wins and losses in the regular time, can I? It is estimated that you can remember some classic games, such as Brazil against Argentina and Italy.

Guo Lingfeng can remember only five games that have a bearing on the outcome. They are Argentina's first 0-1 loss to Cameroon in the group stage, Colombia's 0-1 loss to Serbia in the group stage, Colombia's 1-2 loss to Cameroon in the eighth finals, Argentina's 1-0 victory over Brazil in the eighth finals, and Germany's 1-0 victory over Argentina in the final.

In addition to very important games, other games are basically popular. Only popular games can make people more impressive. Guo Lingfeng decided to use what his master taught them to carefully analyze other games. In these five games, they must bet heavily to buy scores and win high odds. The task of $50 million is not easy.
