The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 382 This is really never-ending! (Seeking monthly votes)

"Mr. Wu, your performance in the competition has been excellent. We hope you can tone it down a bit in the last match!"

A middle-aged, elite-looking white man sat opposite Wu Feng, talking eloquently, exuding a strong sense of self-confidence.

"Mr. John, what do you mean by that?"

Wu Feng's English wasn't exactly fluent, but he could still communicate directly with the other party without needing a translator.

In Hong Kong Island, you can't make a name for yourself without knowing English.

Not to mention dealing with foreign firms, even in the companies of some Hong Kong tycoons, all conversations are required to be conducted in English, and there are quite a few such companies.

Although it's frustrating, that's just the way things are in Hong Kong.

Wu Feng had some basic knowledge from his previous life, and with the English-speaking environment in Hong Kong, he picked it up quite quickly.

After all, speaking English allows for normal communication in the universe, in Japan, or in Southeast Asian countries.

“The meaning is very simple!”

John pulled out a check for two hundred thousand dollars and said confidently, "For the last match, I hope Hong Kong Island and Colombia can draw!"

"Oh, Mr. John, do you think I have the ability to control the game?"

He didn't even glance at the check, but asked curiously, "You know, this match is a do-or-die game for the Hong Kong team!"

"No, no, no, the Hong Kong team has a huge advantage!"

John waved his hand and said, "As long as we can draw with the Colombian team, we will definitely advance to the round of 16 as the best third place finisher!"

"Mr. John, I am responsible for the Hong Kong Island team's performance!"

Wu Feng was somewhat speechless, wondering what kind of background this foreigner had that had suddenly come knocking on his door.

They clearly have some influence with FIFA, but so what?
This guy clearly didn't do a thorough enough background check.

Do you really think he'll back down in the third game for a mere $200,000?

Is he out of his mind?
"Mr. Wu, if you are unwilling to cooperate, you may offend a gambling company with world-class influence!"

John's face turned cold, and he threatened without any politeness, "I suppose Mr. Wu should be aware of our capabilities. I hope you will cooperate properly!"

So they were from a gambling company!
Wu Feng suddenly realized, but his mind remained calm and unaffected.

It's impressive that a betting company can get its hands on FIFA, but what does it have to do with him?

They're certainly arrogant here in Europe, but let them try being arrogant in East Asia!
"Mr. John, it seems you really don't understand the situation in Hong Kong!"

Wu Feng stood up immediately, having lost all interest in chatting with this foreigner.

Ignoring the guy's ugly expression, he simply chuckled and said, "Someone will contact you later. It's really useless to talk to me about this!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and left.

John didn't try to persuade them to stay. This was the hotel arranged for the Hong Kong team by the World Cup organizers, and there were countless reporters watching.

Wu Feng is currently riding high, and he doesn't even want to imagine what would happen to him if anything were to happen to him.

The fact that betting companies have infiltrated the football world is an undisclosed fact, but it can't be made public either, as that would have serious consequences. He was quite frustrated; if it weren't for the unexpected rise of the Hong Kong team and the enormous profits involved, he wouldn't have made this trip in person.

Because they didn't take Hong Kong Island team seriously before, they set the odds for Hong Kong Island team's group stage matches very high.

As a result, they encountered significant problems in their second match against Yugoslavia.

I don't know what the Chinese community in Europe and America is thinking. On the surface, the gap between the Hong Kong team and the Yugoslav team is still very large.

Despite Hong Kong Island's excellent performance in the first game, no one can guarantee that it's just a flash in the pan.
As a result, a large number of Chinese people in Europe and America did not consider the risks at all and bought large amounts of lottery tickets for Hong Kong team to win and draw with Yugoslavia team.

As a result, after the second round of the competition, the betting company discovered that it hadn't made much money from this match!
This is not a good sign!

Given the fighting spirit shown by the Hong Kong Island team, they have a very good chance of winning the third match against Colombia.

Clearly, many fans share this view.

As a result, even before the match started, the amount of money people were betting on Hong Kong Island to win was so high that it made the betting companies' scalps tingle.

This could easily lead to financial losses if things go wrong!
How could the betting company possibly accept such an outcome?
Naturally, John was sent directly to Wu Feng, hoping he would tone it down a bit during the match.

Obviously, it's unrealistic to expect the Hong Kong team to lose the game outright.

After all, given their demonstrated strength, they have a very good chance of making it into the top 16, and no one would risk their bright future.

As a second-best option, letting the Hong Kong Island team and the Colombian team draw is obviously a good choice.

At that time, the Hong Kong Island team would advance to the round of 16 as the best third-place finisher.

At that time, just taking in the large sums of money betting in Colombia will be enough to make European betting companies extremely wealthy.

As for where such a large amount of betting money would come from within Colombia, those in the know understand.

Wu Feng returned to his hotel room, went directly to the head coach, explained the situation, and then suggested, "Let's tell Old Huo about this and let him handle it!"

If someone like Huo Daheng, who came all the way to Italy to watch a live match, doesn't know how to make good use of such a big shot, then they really have something wrong with their brain.

The head coach readily agreed and reported the situation directly to Huo Daheng, who was staying at the same hotel.

At the same time, at Wu Feng's reminder, he gathered all the players together, explained the situation in detail, and finally said in a deep voice: "I don't know if they have contacted you privately. If they have, you'd better be aware of it and don't get yourself involved!"

"The Fok tycoon is staying at the same hotel as us, and the people on Hong Kong Island are closely monitoring our every move!"

"If even the slightest problem arises and affects the final competition results, I believe you should know how serious the consequences will be!"

After saying all that, the head coach patted his behind and left.

The players were left behind, completely shocked by what had just happened.

"If everyone performs like they did in training matches, beating Colombia won't be difficult. We'll then be a top 16 team in the World Cup. I don't need to elaborate on how much that will help you!"

Wu Feng smiled slightly, offered a reminder, and then turned and left.

Since this has happened, he can't directly confront John, the foreigner representing the European betting company, but it's quite easy for him to make things difficult for them in other ways.
