Chapter 393 [76] A huge scandal!
The Olympic Village for the Athens Olympic Games is located at the foot of Mount Parnisa, close to the center of Athens.

During the Olympic Games, the Olympic Village will become an activity center for athletes. The general offices of each Olympic committee will also be located in the Olympic Village. However, Chen Yu, Lao Mouzi and his party were unable to live in the Olympic Village at first. Accommodation area.

They can only live in hotels in the International District.

The Olympic Village is divided into the accommodation area and the international area. The two areas have access restrictions. In the accommodation area, only athletes, officials and Olympic Village staff are allowed to enter.

The international area where Chen Yu is located is mostly filled with tourists and spectators from all over the world.

It was not until the end of the Olympic Games that the Athens Olympic Organizing Committee allowed Chen Yu and the others to stay in the infield accommodation area for the sake of smooth and convenient rehearsals for the closing ceremony.

This is not a deliberate attempt by the organizers to make things difficult, but rather the relevant rules of the Olympic Village.

The quota of athletes, officials, coaches, etc. living in the Olympic Village is determined by the International Olympic Committee Executive Board, and they cannot exceed 50% of the number of registered athletes.

Chen Yu and his team, including the director, assistant director, stage artist, etc., totaled almost a hundred people. The total number of athletes participating in the Athens China competition was 407, and they obviously could not occupy their entourage list.

However, Chen Yu is actually quite satisfied with this arrangement.

Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.

"No ah!"

The flag bearer of the Chinese delegation is of course the little giant Yao, and the host Greece...

"Rehearse and rehearse, I also want to go out for a walk in the afternoon!"

Chen Yu clapped his hands, and then everyone stood up. Like clockwork that was tightened, almost reflexively, they all started practicing there.

Everyone laughed a little. It was true that they had suffered too much from Athens these days.

There are not so many restrictions in the international zone.

"Now the International Olympic Committee is going to hold a hearing for these two guys. Unexpectedly, in the early hours of last night, these two guys were involved in a car accident. It was said that Kentris was in a bad mood and slipped while riding a motorcycle. He had been sent to the hospital. !”

What about the International Olympic Committee’s so-called zero tolerance for doping?

Before the arrival of the athletes, the Athens Olympic Organizing Committee has held many opening ceremony rehearsals, including opening performances, lighting and sound, torch relay, etc. The Olympic Organizing Committee requires that only some athletes can participate in the rehearsal of the athletes' entrance ceremony, but The flag bearer of the square team must participate in the rehearsal.

"Hahaha, Greece's main torch bearer and flag bearer was exposed for evading a drug test!"

Chen Yu walked into the temporary rehearsal conference room and heard several people chatting there.

"..."

I didn't expect to hear such a funny news just after landing. As a reborn person, Chen Yu didn't even know about it, which shows how deep Athens was hiding it at that time.

"Kentris, Greek God!"

The star that Greece is proud of and is even more popular than the football team that just won the European Cup, the sprinter Kentris who was just elected as the most popular figure in Greece, was knocked off the seat of the gods due to drug test suspicions and became a "Suspicious" sinners.

"Before the Olympics started, this guy was still the main torchbearer..."

Because it is convenient to go anywhere in the international area. Unlike the accommodation area, you have to apply to go out. Some athletes cannot leave the village, so they all need to report.

What a joke.

"Olympic champion in the men's 200m track and field event at the Sydney Olympics!"

These days, except for necessary rehearsals and consolidation, Chen Yu is very free.

Tang Yan walked in. This guy likes to hear gossip: "We found these two people!"

Because the Olympic Village is busy preparing for the rehearsal of the opening ceremony.

"Now the Athens Olympics will be completely 'famous'!"

"The official statement from the Greek delegation is that Kentris and Taunu went home to get some daily necessities and therefore missed the drug test."

"Yes, Greece's most famous athlete, Kentris, mysteriously disappeared after staying in the Olympic Village!"

Seeing Chen Yu coming over, they quickly invited him to join the discussion. After all, they have become very familiar with each other in the past few months: "Brother Yu, have you heard about it?"

"But the IAAF said that because they returned home early, they also missed the previous flight drug test. It means that these two people missed both ends by coincidence!"

"So the drug test is nothing, and the International Olympic Committee said it won't pursue it..."

After listening to the accounts of several people, Chen Yu understood the seriousness of this incident.

Shameless, shameless.

"puff!"

……

"What a scandal!"

"You are behind on this news!"

"No way? Torch bearer and flag bearer?"

In addition to him, a Greek star named Taunu, a bronze medalist in the women's 100 meters at the Sydney Olympics, also disappeared with him.

"The world's great scandal!"

Everyone looked at each other, and then burst into laughter; this fig leaf was covered with amateurishness.

When Chen Yu thought about how many domestic athletes were targeted in later generations, he felt that this organization had double standards.

“The global sports world is in shock!”

In the afternoon, Chen Yu took advantage of his break and walked towards the Olympic Stadium.

As the main venue of the Olympic Games, the Olympic Stadium itself has supporting commercial facilities, and commercial streets and shopping malls are planned nearby. Most of them are not newly built, but renovated from old buildings.

Although the construction speed of the Athens Olympic Stadium has been criticized, the construction speed of the business district is very fast, even before the stadium is completed.

This country feels like it is crazy poor and is trying every possible means to earn back the investment in the Olympic Games, so in the business district, the OPAP brand is very conspicuous; when he returned to the hotel yesterday, Chen Yu had already checked.

Sure enough, this company is the largest gambling company in Greece, and it is a monopoly industry.

OPAP's betting stations are located all over Greece. Most of the small and medium-sized betting stations only sell OPAP's sports lottery tickets; while some large betting stations, in addition to selling their own sports lottery tickets, also act as agents for major European gambling companies. Sports Lottery.

For example, the world's most famous Ladbrokes, William Hill, Sportsbook, etc.

The Olympic Games is definitely a very huge cake for the entire gambling industry. Greece also knows that it cannot monopolize it. Moreover, in order to build Olympic venues, it also borrowed a lot of money from the EU.

Large gambling groups have put pressure on Greece through the European Union, so the Greek government allows foreign gambling companies to enter Greece through the agency sales model, but it limits the only agent, which is the state-owned company OPAP.

For foreign gambling companies, OPAP will charge a certain amount as agency fees.

And the Olympic Sports store in front of Chen Yu can definitely be regarded as the largest betting shop in OPAP in Greece.

The decoration is very luxurious, and every spinach company with a name in Europe can be purchased here.

The reason why there are so many choices is that many tourists, especially European tourists, are more inclined to buy products from their own countries.

Thanks to the popularity of football, gambling is a very mature industry in Europe.

Chen Yu walked into the lobby of the betting station and saw that the walls were covered with brand-new LCD TVs, which broadcast the odds of various Olympic events in real time. There were also dozens of self-service odds inquiry machines, some of which were self-service inquiry machines. , you can also check the odds of foreign gambling companies.

Chen Yu was wearing a mask, and no one took the initiative to greet him because there were too many people at this betting spot.

Many people looked at it curiously, mostly tourists. Of course, some people wanted to have fun and bought some.

This betting station makes this money.

Chen Yu was not polite and stood in front of a self-service inquiry machine, queuing up.

After finally waiting for the tourists in front to finish reading, Chen Yu immediately moved over a stool and started operating it with the mouse.

All the participating events of the Olympic Games are displayed on this self-service betting machine.

Once you have selected the betting items, the machine can print them.

Of course, the first thing Chen Yu looked at was track and field, but even in the Olympics, football is still the most popular thing. Especially this year, Greece, as a dark horse, pulled off a century-old upset and won the European Cup. The whole country of Greece is full of love for football.

Portugal's Porto Champions League win this year can only be ranked behind this upset.

Chen Yu took a look at some of the events and contestants in this year's Olympic Games last night. He originally wanted to retrieve some memories, but unexpectedly, he actually remembered something.

The only Olympics that Ronaldo participated in was this one. Then, Portugal finished last in the group and went home in despair.

This is one of the great shames of Ronaldo's career.

While thinking about it, Chen Yu opened the option of the 110-meter hurdles in track and field and clicked on Liu Xiang.

"3.8?"

Chen Yu looked at Liu Xiang's odds and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

These odds were far from the upset he had in mind!
This spinach company is indeed not vegetarian.

He thought he could get a bargain, but he didn't expect that Liu Xiang's odds were quite low, and he was definitely the favorite to win the championship. He was the fourth candidate to win the championship after only three people.

"It seems that Liu Xiang participated in many international competitions before the Olympics and achieved good results!"

Things like sports cannot explode suddenly, there are traces to follow; it's just that the popularity of the Olympics is too high, so Chen Yu has the illusion that Liu Xiang only became famous after winning the 04 Athens Olympics.

In fact, before winning the championship, Liu Xiang had already won the first place in many international competitions.

"That's not exciting anymore!"

"I thought I could get rich overnight..."

Chen Yu curled his lips and looked at the amount of bets. There was a limit on the maximum bet, which was only 5000 euros!

Although there are 15 bookmakers where you can place bets, one in Spain has odds of 4.15, but with a betting cost of 75000 euros, you can win up to 30 euros.

"Look at the others!"

Chen Yu ticked up the odds for Liu Xiang to win, and looked at other Chinese winning events.

But many times, Chen Yu is not sure who the champion will be.

For example, in swimming, the odds of Luo Xuejuan in the 100-meter breaststroke were ranked third, but he was not sure whether she would win this year.

However, there are a few projects that Chen Yu is still sure of.

First gold, Du Li, odds 2.23!

Wang Yifu 10-meter air pistol, odds 3.12!

Women's synchronized three-meter springboard, Guo Jingjing, Wu Minxia.

Table tennis...Zhang Yining.

But these odds are not very high, except for Zhang Yining, because she and Wang Nan have suspense. The winning odds are 1.91 and Wang Nan is 1.42.

China Women's Volleyball Team, odds 3.81.

"Women's 10.9 meters, Xing Huina, odds ?"

Finally saw one with good odds.

Chen Yu printed out all the ones he selected, no more, no less, exactly ten.

75 euros. If they all win in the end, Xing Huina’s is a little higher and can win 80 euros. The rest add up to only 200 million euros.

"Let's talk about it after buying it!"

"It's more or less profitable anyway!"

Chen Yu held the printing form in his hand. The tourists behind him were already urging them, but seeing how many times Chen Yu typed, many people chose to go to other machines.

Chen Yu looked like a ruthless person.

“Look at football again!”

Chen Yu looked directly at Portugal's group stage.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a little happy.

Grouped in the same group as Portugal are Iraq, Costa Rica and Morocco.

"Are you at the bottom of the group stage for all these countries?"

Give you a chance, you are useless!
Just as Chen Yu was about to leave, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"No, Iraq?"

Why did Iraq make the semi-finals in one of the Olympic Games? !

Chen Yu looked at the list of countries in front of him, and the more he looked at it, the more certain he became that it should be this one.

4-2!

"Yes, this is the one that defeated Portugal 4-2!"

“Portugal just came home!”

Chen Yu remembered that the reason why Cristiano Ronaldo did not participate in the Olympics seemed to be because of the shame of being kicked out by Iraq.

"Hahaha, football is really exciting!"

"This is such a huge upset!"

Chen Yu took the mouse and clicked on the score odds between Iraq and Portugal. When he saw this, he became excited.

Greece, you deserve to be bleeding profusely!
200 times, 360 times, 500 times!
Each one is more outrageous than the other.

There is a gambling company that Chen Yu has never heard of. The score of Iraq 4-2 Portugal is actually offered at an outrageous price of 1 to 500?

"Haha, I made a lot of money!"

Chen Yu didn't hesitate at all and filled it up directly.

There were 15 companies... but I couldn't buy them all. This would arouse suspicion. Chen Yu directly bought the 3 companies with the highest odds.

"Buy another top four!"

80x odds.

Chen Yu invited 3 more families.

After checking it once, he walked towards the counter.

The clerk at the counter looked at the long printed list that Chen Yu pulled and was a little stunned. It wasn't until Chen Yu spoke that she knew that the rich man from the East was here.

"Hello, we have a VIP room upstairs!"

The girl led Chen Yu upstairs. After a while, a white man with obvious Greek appearance came to Chen Yu politely.

"Hello sir, do you want to place a bet?"

"Yes!"

Chen Yu has many credit cards, such as Centurion and Visa Black Gold, which he applied for before going abroad. Of course, he also has overseas accounts, so there is no problem at all with a limit of hundreds of thousands of euros.

"Sir, your bet amount is a bit large. According to our Greek Olympic regulations, your identity needs to be verified. Of course, we will not reveal your identity. It is just a routine check..."

Afraid that Chen Yu wouldn't understand, this guy spoke carefully.

I also poured coffee and prepared snacks with Chen Yu.

Chen Yu smiled: "No problem!"

No matter how you check it, it won't matter even if it is exposed. He supports his countrymen openly and openly. What's wrong with buying an upset score in Iraq?
Chen Yu took out his passport and handed it to the clerk. The white clerk looked at it for a few times, then checked it on the computer. He walked over and saw that Chen Yu's face had completely changed.

He recognized Chen Yu's identity.

In fact, he felt familiar to Chen Yu just when he saw him. After Chen Yu drank tea and revealed his true appearance, he had no doubts anymore.

"Hello, Chan, can... can you sign your name for me?"

Chen Yu's "House of Flying Daggers" and car advertisements, especially car advertisements, are very popular in Europe.
