Rebirth of wealth and freedom starts from the World Cup

Chapter 148: Epic NBA Finals with x odds!
Zhang Lei was confused and puzzled as to who Zhao Zixuan had called to solve the ticket problem in just two minutes.

This speed.

This efficiency.

Even sex isn't this fast, right?
Zhang Lei wanted to get to the bottom of it, but Zhao Zixuan remained tight-lipped and refused to say anything no matter what.

This made him even more curious. He felt that his childhood friend had changed a lot, especially in personality. It was like he didn't recognize him at all, like two completely different people.

Zhang Lei also tentatively asked Zhao Zixuan about his past and found that the latter answered fluently, which made him certain that the person in front of him was the real Zhao Zixuan.

The two chatted until late at night and finally fell asleep in their beds.

The next morning, Zhao Zixuan got up early, leaving Zhang Lei still sleeping in the hotel, and went to the Los Angeles headquarters of the Douyin APP alone.

After arriving downstairs, he called Mao Yourong.

Not long after, Stella, a beautiful mixed-race girl with long black hair and blue eyes, walked out of the building quickly and led him into the company.

Zhao Zixuan successfully entered the Los Angeles headquarters of the Douyin APP, which rented two floors of office buildings and had 300 full-time employees, half of whom were Chinese and half were foreigners.

He took the elevator to the fifteenth floor, passed through a series of gates, and finally met the tolerant and capable woman in a spacious and elegant office.

"Please take a seat, Mr. Zhao. I'll be right back after I finish the work on hand."

Mao Yourong looked up at Zhao Zixuan who had come in, and then continued to focus on the work at hand. There were three people around her, waiting for her signature.

Zhao Zixuan was not in a hurry when he just entered the room. He looked around the layout of the office and felt the artistic atmosphere of the combination of Chinese and Western styles, which complemented Mao Yourong's temperament.

After walking around for a while, he found a sofa and sat down, his eyes falling on Mao Yourong's outfit today.

She looked very capable. Although Zhao Zixuan had met Mao Yourong many times, every time he saw her, she was always dressed formally and he had never seen her in casual clothes.

She always wears a small suit with a white shirt, which makes her look exquisite and charming.

The only pity is that she seems a little older. If I remember correctly, this strong woman should be 25 years old this year.

To be honest, in Zhao Zixuan's eyes, Mao Yourong's age has already entered the category of the so-called "older leftover woman".

In the eyes of many people, once a woman reaches the age of 25, it is like a watershed. No matter how she takes care of herself, the traces of time will always leave ruthless marks on her skin.

There is no such thing as time never defeating beauty. It is clear that time is unforgiving.

of course.

Some people have never spared the years.

For example, the strong woman in front of you.

"Director Zhao, I've finished processing. Sorry to have kept you waiting."

After finishing the work at hand, Mao Yourong walked gracefully in her high heels to sit next to Zhao Zixuan.

Zhao Zixuan noticed that she was wearing a sexy black hip skirt today, and the black stockings faintly visible between her legs added a bit of mature feminine charm, making people unable to look away.

Zhao Zixuan took a deep breath and tried to calm the waves in his heart.

He said, "I heard that Miss Mao has to work overtime until very late every day before going home. Aren't you afraid that your employees will feel stressed and psychologically burdened by your 996 work style?"

Mao Yourong smiled lightly, with a bit of helplessness in his tone: "Boss Zhao, have you forgotten? I have been working for you for free for half a year. If I still can't bring significant changes to the company in the next year, then my efforts in the past two years will be in vain. Tell me, who is more stressed, me or them?"

Zhao Zixuan burst into laughter when he heard this.

Of course he knew that this was Mao Yourong reminding them of the gambling agreement between them.

He was also taking the opportunity to complain about the fact that she did not receive any salary, but this was something that both parties had already negotiated in the first place. She wouldn't want to act like a rogue after working for her for only half a year, right?

He smiled and responded, "Ms. Mao, you are joking. I see that you are in great shape now, and the company's performance is also steadily increasing. How can you look like you are under pressure? On the contrary, I am a little regretful. I should have not signed the gambling agreement earlier. 18% of the shares of Douyin APP, now think about it, I really lost a lot."

Mao Yourong raised her eyebrows slightly, her amber eyes flashing with a sharp light. She stared at Zhao Zixuan, her voice revealing an unquestionable firmness: "Director Zhao, we have signed a contract. You don't want to regret it, do you?"

Zhao Zixuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying frankly: "To be honest, I have thought about it, but every time I think of the unfathomable red power of your family, I feel that my thoughts are redundant. After all, we, the children of poor families with no support, can never compare to you, the powerful and wealthy people with deep roots."

Mao Yourong suddenly lifted up her beautiful legs in black stockings and leaned elegantly on the sofa, her posture hot and charming.

Her eyes were always fixed on Zhao Zixuan, as if she wanted to see through his inner thoughts.

"Mr. Zhao, your words sound a bit self-deprecating."

She looked at him deeply, smiled and said, "I remember when you negotiated with me, your high-spirited and arrogant youthfulness deeply attracted me. This is also one of the important reasons why I decided to join Heguang Technology."

That's a nice thing to say.

But Zhao Zixuan didn't believe her words. This woman liked to flatter others more than once, and he would naturally not be fooled again.

after all.

The first time the wolf comes, you can believe it. The second time the wolf comes, you can barely believe it. But if you still choose to believe it the third time...

Then he is an idiot!

"Miss Mao, no matter what, I recognize your ability."

Zhao Zixuan said seriously: "During this period, the speed at which Douyin APP has risen in the overseas market has really surprised me. I believe that under your leadership, Douyin APP will quickly occupy the overseas market and become the leader in the short video industry. You are an excellent helmsman, this is an undeniable fact."

Mao Yourong smiled slightly after hearing this, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

She knew that although Zhao Zixuan was reserved about her words on the surface, deep down in his heart he was full of admiration and trust for her.

This trust is built on her extraordinary abilities and outstanding performance, and is an important cornerstone for her to lead the team forward.

"Mr. Zhao, thank you for your compliment. Can you please stop calling me Miss Mao? If you keep calling me that, I'll feel there's a distance between us. I still prefer you to call me by my name, Yourong. My friends all call me that."

Mao Yourong said this more than once.

But Zhao Zixuan seemed to refuse to listen to any advice and was always unruly.

Just like now, Zhao Zixuan met those charming amber eyes, pondered for a while before saying: "The sense of distance may be something both sides have. Miss Mao always addresses me with honorifics, can't I say that I feel the same way?"

Mao Yourong's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, "OK, then I won't be polite either. From now on, I will call you Zixuan and you call you Yourong. This may eliminate the gap between us."

Zhao Zixuan readily agreed, and suddenly felt that the strong woman in front of him was not as difficult to get along with as she seemed. Afterwards, Mao Yourong took the initiative to lead Zhao Zixuan to visit the company, accompanied by some senior executives and Mao Yourong's three assistants and two secretaries.

It was precisely because of Mao Yourong's pomp and circumstance that Zhao Zixuan wanted to recruit a few more assistants and secretaries to work by his side, and let them do anything. Doing everything personally means that he would be like Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, who devoted his life to the cause and worked until his death. Regardless of whether he could succeed in starting a business, the chances of him dying halfway must be very high.

At noon, Mao Yourong invited Zhao Zixuan to have lunch in the company cafeteria.

During the relaxed chat, Zhao Zixuan learned that Mao Yourong usually had his meals in the company cafeteria, which can be said to be a thorough promotion of the 996 culture of "the company is my home".

Zhao Zixuan couldn't get used to the food in the cafeteria because it didn't contain chili.

He is a guy who loves spicy food.

Just when he was about to take a few bites to finish his meal, Mao Yourong produced a jar of Lao Gan Ma like a magician.

With the help of this jar of hot sauce, Zhao Zixuan was finally able to fill his stomach.

After the meal, Mao Yourong did not try to persuade Zhao Zixuan to stay, but asked Stella to accompany him on the tour.

She quickly immersed herself in her work, as if no external affairs could disturb her.

Zhao Zixuan observed from a distance for a while and found that Mao Yourong was busy like a domineering female president. Her focused and decisive style of doing things was even more domineering than when he was in charge of Heguang Technology.

Stella noticed Zhao Zixuan's gaze. She didn't want to disturb Mao Yourong's work, but she couldn't just urge him to leave.

So, she asked tentatively: "Mr. Zhao, is there anywhere else you want to go?"

Of course, Zhao Zixuan heard the hidden meaning of Stella's words. He retracted his gaze and joked, "Has your boss never been in love? He just works hard all day long. Is this kind of life really interesting?"

He felt that even a robot should stop and rest for a while, but Mao Yourong obviously regarded himself as a being more cruel than a robot, like an emotionless Transformer.

Stella shook her head slightly, indicating that she could not answer Zhao Zixuan's question.

She looked at the boss of the boss in front of her, and envied his young and successful career. She said patiently, "Mr. Zhao, you may have to find a chance to ask the boss about this question. I can't answer it. But I think the boss's love for work is a kind of enjoyment, and this enjoyment may be more interesting than falling in love. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhao Zixuan said that he didn't understand a bit.

An emotionless woman looks more terrifying than an emotionless man.

When Zhao Zixuan left the overseas headquarters of Douyin APP, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon local time.

He was not alone, Stella was with him.

This was Mao Yourong's arrangement. Although Zhao Zixuan didn't want Stella to go with him at first, for the sake of Zhang Lei, a coward with lustful intentions but no courage, he could only reluctantly choose to sacrifice his small self for the sake of the greater self.

While waiting for Zhang Lei to arrive by taxi, Zhao Zixuan turned to his assistant with long black hair and asked, "Stella, do you know if there is a legal company selling NBA lottery tickets near Los Angeles? It would be best if it has a good reputation and guaranteed funds."

Stella answered without hesitation: "As far as I know, the largest local gambling company in Los Angeles is MGM. If you want to buy lottery tickets, I suggest you give priority to this company."

Zhao Zixuan had heard of the name MGM, but knew nothing about its exact location.

Now that the NBA Finals are in full swing, it is impossible to find a company with high odds, and he can only hold on to the idea of ​​making as much money as possible.

It is worth mentioning that he had already bet on the Warriors' championship on a foreign gambling website before the start of this year's NBA regular season, with odds as high as 28 times.

Although he only bet 3000 million US dollars at the time, this was also his first time to try betting on this kind of foreign website.

This gambling website was introduced by Li Zekai, and Zhao Zixuan was skeptical about whether he could get full compensation.

He was told that if the bonus was high, he would have to pay taxes, which made him a little worried.

After Zhang Lei arrived, Zhao Zixuan asked Stella to drive them to MGM.

Along the way, Zhang Lei kept pestering Stella with questions, and for Zhao Zixuan's sake, Stella had to answer Zhang Lei's various weird questions one by one.

Zhao Zixuan observed the interaction between the two from the side. He felt that the young Zhang Lei still lacked experience in picking up girls. If he wanted to win over a beauty like Stella who was warm on the outside but cold on the inside, he would have a long way to go.

An hour later, Zhao Zixuan finally arrived at the MGM ticket office. There were crowds of people in front of him, and people buying lottery tickets were coming in an endless stream.

Even though the line was as long as a dragon, he had no complaints and was very patient.

After all, the purpose of his trip was not for some small-time entertainment, but for the tempting guaranteed winning prize.

During the ten minutes of waiting, he originally planned to place a big bet on the Warriors to easily beat the Cavaliers in the first game. However, the meager odds of just over three times the amount immediately made him hesitate.

After all, the bonus still had to be taxed, and the after-tax profit was meager, hardly enough to satisfy his increasingly greedy appetite.

So he began to carefully examine the odds of other games, hoping to find more promising betting targets.

Just as the customer behind him was urging him impatiently, his eyes suddenly locked on an inconspicuous betting option.

——Finals MVP betting!

Among them, Iguodala's winning odds are as high as 100 to 10000!

This is simply a gamble.

Once successful, the profits will be as high as a hundred times!
Zhao Zixuan almost smiled to pieces. He suppressed his excitement and paid the money by swiping his credit card to place the bet.

Unfortunately, the maximum betting amount was limited. After he had bet 500 million US dollars, the ticket seller on the opposite side stopped him from continuing his crazy betting behavior.

Zhao Zixuan collected the ticket with satisfaction, but did not leave. Instead, he directed Zhang Lei and Stella to line up at other ticket sales points, each of whom also bet 500 million US dollars, with the same goal.

——Iguodala won the FMVP of the Finals!

Before the finals started, no one would believe that the winner of the Finals FMVP would not be the Emperor James, not the three-point shooter Stephen Curry, not the top stars of the two teams, but a substitute player who had never started until the finals.

Only Zhao Zixuan believed it.

Because he already knew the answer in advance.

The odds are as high as 1 to 100. Such terrifying odds make my heart beat fast just thinking about it!
Zhao Zixuan bet a total of 1500 million US dollars, which means he can win a huge bonus of up to 15 billion US dollars.

Even though taxes have to be paid afterwards, compared to the huge bonus of 15 billion, what does that little tax matter?

Just do it and it’s done!
