Rebirth of wealth and freedom starts from the World Cup

Chapter 60: Unpopular champion, prize money doubled!
Li Yanning hung up the phone, a hint of confidence appearing on her face.

Although she only spoke three short sentences, she seemed to have grasped some outline of the future.

Because she spoke Cantonese, Zhao Zixuan said he didn't understand.

"Is everything arranged?"

Zhao Zixuan looked at her with curiosity in his eyes.

Li Yanning smiled and nodded slightly, "This is your first time participating, so I picked a relatively easy way for you to win the prize."

"As you know, there are usually 12 to 14 horses in each race. After excluding uncontrollable factors such as injuries, we usually use 14 horses as the benchmark."

"I have selected 10 horses for you, and the bet amount for each horse is 8800 yuan. This combination may not allow you to win too much prize money, but its advantage is that it is highly stable and can effectively avoid large losses."

Zhao Zixuan listened attentively and calmly, but his heart was calm.

In his opinion, this mere bet of more than 8 yuan, whether he wins or loses, can hardly shake his inner peace.

He was thinking about how to get Li Yanning to help him buy football lottery.

It is not easy to build trust when meeting for the first time, especially when such a huge amount of money is involved.

Zhao Zixuan understood that if he was not a trusted friend, people would often regard his gambling as that of a crazy gambler.

They might even think he's a psychopath.

"Yan Ning, what about me? Did you buy the same thing for me?"

Li Changan asked with a little anticipation.

Li Yanning's reply was the same, all horses were numbered 1 to 10, and as long as any of them won the first place, they would receive the prize money.

The prize money for popular horses is relatively small, while the prize money for unpopular horses is generous.

If the horses numbered 11 to 14 win, all their bets will be wasted and they will lose everything.

"How much did you buy me?"

There was a barely perceptible excitement in Li Changan's tone.

Li Yanning smiled and turned to Zhao Zixuan. "According to him, 8 means prosperity all the way. I believe our good luck will come because of this."

Li Changan heard this and said with difficulty: "Ah? So much, I almost spent all the money I had on traveling..."

Li Yanning smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Changan. If you lose, it's mine, and if you win, it's yours."

"Why is this so embarrassing?"

The corners of Li Changan's mouth curled up. Although he looked apologetic, he was already very happy in his heart.

Who would refuse pie in the sky?
Li Yanning added sympathetically: "You have come from afar, so of course I have to entertain you well. How can I let you spend money?"

"Then thank you, Sister Yan Ning."

Li Changan chuckled and accepted the gift with peace of mind.

He knew in his heart that Li Yanning, who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, didn't need this little money at all.

Not to mention 8 yuan.

Even if it's 80 or 800 million, she might not care about it.

"Brother Changan, you are too polite. It's a rare opportunity for you to come here, and the most important thing is to have fun. Besides, we don't necessarily lose."

Li Yanning is very confident in his horse selection. The probability of picking 14 out of 10 is still very high. It just depends on how much of the final prize money he can get.

Zhao Zixuan observed the two siblings from the side and always felt that this pair of cousins ​​seemed not very familiar with each other.

The way they talk and behave doesn't seem like siblings, but more like relatives who barely speak to each other all year round and only meet during festivals so they get together to eat dumplings.

"It's about to begin!"

Li Yanning's speech interrupted Zhao Zixuan's thoughts.

Then, their eyes were focused on the center of the racecourse.

At once, the fourteen horses rushed out of the starting line like arrows on a bow. In the first few hundred meters, Li Yanning's No. 8 Black Rose was like a whirlwind, always staying in the leading group.

However, when the race was halfway through, two fast horses, No. 11 and No. 13, came down from the sky like gods, following closely behind and taking turns leading.

The three horses chased each other, pushing the whole race to a climax.

At the last moment of the decisive battle, Li Changan suddenly jumped up from his seat and shouted excitedly:

"Black Rose, charge forward! Kill them!!"

His voice echoed in the air, carrying endless passion and determination.

Li Yanning had a helpless look on her face, and happened to meet the eyes of Zhao Zixuan who was looking over. As their eyes moved, they smiled at each other tacitly.

"Do you think he did it on purpose or unintentionally?"

Li Yanning asked in a low voice.

"He did it on purpose, maybe he likes the name Black Rose more." Zhao Zixuan looked at Li Changan with excitement on his face. In fact, he couldn't guess for sure, after all, he was not very familiar with Li Changan.

"I also think he did it on purpose." Li Yanning also didn't believe that the black rose, which she had repeatedly emphasized, would be mistakenly called the black rose so frequently.

Li Changan doesn't look like someone with such a bad memory.

"Did you win?"

When Zhao Zixuan blurted out this, two horses crossed the finish line almost at the same time.

As if it was a trick of fate, one was the mighty Black Rose and the other was the inconspicuous Horse No. 13.

Who is number one?
If Black Rose wins, Zhao Zixuan and his friends will have a chance to win the prize, and if No. 13 wins, all the money will be wasted on the Jockey Club.

"We won. Black Rose's horse crossed the line first!"

When Li Yanning's eyes fell on the official data on the huge display screen, she clearly confirmed the winner of this horse race - the mighty No. 8 Black Rose.

A barely perceptible glimmer of joy flashed across her eyes, but was quickly hidden away by her.

Turning around, she announced the amount of the bonus to Zhao Zixuan and Li Changan with a smile on her face.

"The total prize money is $79! You can each take half, so you can get $2000."

That is a staggering number, the odds are 4.5 times the betting amount!

“Why is it so high?”

There was a hint of surprise in Li Changan's smile, and he couldn't help but ask the doubts in his mind.

There has to be a reason for winning, right?
Otherwise, how can we continue to harvest rice next time?
"Because Black Rose is an underdog. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but this is the first time Black Rose has won the championship. You two can be said to be its lucky halo."

There was a barely perceptible hint of pride in Li Yanning's tone.

It seemed that the one who won the championship was not Black Rose, but herself.

If you think about it carefully, it is true.

If she hadn't poured countless efforts, and carefully cared for and cultivated it, how could the Black Rose bloom with such dazzling light, and put pressure on the other horses to win the supreme championship glory in one fell swoop?

In the joy of winning the championship, Li Yanning glanced at Zhao Zixuan and chuckled, "Zhao Zixuan, do you want to continue betting in the next game? If you don't plan to bet, I will transfer the prize money to you. Do you want cash or a check?"

Zhao Zixuan shook his head lightly and said calmly, "No need. Just consider these bonuses as my support fee for Black Rose. Buy it some delicious food. Anyway, I didn't spend a penny from the beginning to the end. You paid for it."

Li Yanning frowned slightly and said firmly, "How can this be? We agreed that I would be the one to place the bet for you. Now that I have won the prize, I must return the prize money to you. This involves a question of credibility and principle, and there can be no ambiguity."

"Uh... I really can't accept this money with a clear conscience."

Zhao Zixuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and had already thought of a countermeasure in his mind.

He chuckled and said, "Otherwise, don't give me the bonus, but I have a small request..."

"What request?" A hint of surprise flashed in Li Yanning's beautiful eyes.

Li Changan couldn't help but lean over curiously. What could have happened that could make Zhao Zixuan not care about the 39 yuan bonus?
Zhao Zixuan took a deep breath, his narrow eyes suddenly met Li Yanning's eyes, and he said seriously: "I would like to borrow your Jockey Club membership, is that okay?
A trace of vigilance appeared on Li Yanning's face. She stared at Zhao Zixuan silently, as if trying to peek into his inner world through his eyes.
