I'm a manager at Heliansheng, I only look for legitimate businesses

This is the purest and best era, and it is also the era when it is easiest to impact the World Cup.

Unfortunately, a football is round, and it is a team competition game between 22 people. It is not something that Zhang Wen can create by spending money.

However, with his promotion and intervention, the current A-League is much more perfect in all aspects, and this is the best he can do.

He didn't have high hopes for football, but he had high hopes for basketball.

Hu Weidong has grown into a true basketball star, and through ATV's broadcasts, he has become a basketball idol throughout Asia.

The main reason is that his playing style is very Western, and his slam dunk from the free throw line has attracted countless people.

His style is very similar to that of the current scoring champion Jordan, but the peak showdown between the two should be this summer, and Zhang Wen will definitely go to help.

However, the highlight of this year is not the NBA, but the Italian World Cup that is watched by the world.

Even the UFC, which was scheduled to start in June, has moved the start time to next month.

Just like the last World Cup in Mexico, Zhang Wen started planning his peripheral betting early on.

This time the preparations were more thorough than last time, and the warm-up time was also longer.

The transaction amount will definitely reach a new high.

There is also another major event taking place in June, which makes Zhang Wen feel a little overwhelmed.

The bear country has split up.

Seize tanks, seize planes, seize warships, seize talents, this was the death order Zhang Wen gave to Dabaoyi and Deng Guobin.

And also asked Yuri and Kharkov to cooperate fully.

If Zhang Wen didn't get a piece of that arsenal worth hundreds of billions of dollars, he would be a fool.

After so many years of planning, this is the moment we’ve been waiting for.

Especially in Ukraine, he spent a lot of money to bribe everyone in the shipyard.

Under Yuri's leadership, Deng Guobin got to know many generals in the army.

All kinds of weapons produced and sealed during the Cold War are waiting for Zhang Wen to open them.

"Mr. Zhang, long time no see."

In the Continental Hotel in Rome, the capital of Italy, Zhang Wen and Winston hugged each other warmly.

Then, Winston introduced the middle-aged man who came with him to Zhang Wen, "Mr. Zhang, this is Giovanni, the leader of the Gomorra organization and also one of the deacons."

"Hello!" After hearing Winston's introduction, Zhang Wen smiled and shook hands with him.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang." Giovanni was very enthusiastic.

After the three of them sat down, Giovanni got straight to the point and said, "Mr. Zhang, for this peripheral betting, the three of us in Italy want an extra 5% of the turnover."

"Oh?" Zhang Wenxian frowned immediately, then he turned his head to look at Winston.

Winston shook his head imperceptibly.

"Don't be anxious. Let me put it this way. The referees this session are basically under our control, and we can completely get the results we want." Giovanni saw that Zhang Wen was a little unhappy and immediately explained.

"You mean, you can manipulate the outcome of the game?" Zhang Wen immediately became interested after hearing this.

"Well, that's about right. I'm 90% sure." Giovanni nodded.

"Okay, if it's really possible, 5% is no problem." If it's really as he said, 5% is not too much.

"It's great, the win or loss results are easy to control, but the number of goals is a bit difficult," Giovanni explained.

"Sure, as long as we win or lose." Zhang Wen nodded.

"OK, happy cooperation!" Giovanni was delighted and extended his hand again.

"Don't worry, this is a satellite phone. I'll have someone notify you of the results." Zhang Wen handed over a phone.

"Okay, contact me if you need anything." Giovanni took it solemnly.

After Giovanni left, Winston introduced the strength of the three Italian organizations.

Zhang Wen finally understood why the other party dared to ask for an additional 5%5.5 turnover like the entire High Table Club.

It is indeed strong enough.

Italy's underground forces are composed of three organizations, Gomorra is one of them, with its headquarters in Naples.

When the three are together, they are a world-famous mafia.

Its strength is similar to that of the Hongmen, and its influence is spread throughout Europe and the United States.

Especially in Italy, the base camp, it has penetrated into every aspect of Italy.

Controlling the enforcement power of World Cup referees is a piece of cake. It is estimated that even the players may be controlled.

However, after Winston's explanation, when Zhang Wen heard the place name Nabir, he suddenly remembered something Zhang Tianai had mentioned before.

The boss of WENK Group's cooperative factory in Naples was shot dead. Could it be that the person who ordered it was the Gmos organization?

Zhang Wen frowned when he thought of this.

Chapter 398 Promoted to Deacon

Today, the WENK Group can definitely occupy a place in the global garment market.

Its Gucci brand has a series of products including jewelry, clothing accessories, perfume, watches, high heels, handbags, etc., and is one of the top luxury brands in the world.

The exclusive stores opened on luxury avenues around the world provide Zhang Wen with massive cash flow every day.

This is also a major channel for money laundering.

The Du Peng brand sells men's clothing and accessories, leather goods, lighters, writing instruments, men's shoes, watches, cigar accessories, glasses, perfumes, etc., and is also the choice of high-end men.

The WENK brand is impacting the mid-range market and sports brand market, and it is one of the sponsors of this World Cup.

WENK's advertisements are everywhere in major events such as NBA, Major League Baseball, American football, golf, tennis, etc.

It has basically formed a three-way competition with Nike and Adidas.

The annual output value of the entire group reached nearly 10 billion US dollars, making it another money-making behemoth under Zhang Wen.

With such a high output value, it is definitely impossible for a single company to produce all the products. Many orders are assigned to OEM factories with high quality and low prices.

Most of Gucci's orders in Europe are made by Chinese factories invested in Italy.

But last year, the owner of one of the larger factories with design capabilities was shot dead.

This directly led to the delay of an order at the time, and the group also lost some money for it.

When Zhang Tianai demanded accountability, she found out that her partner had been killed. She was very depressed and shocked, and she specifically talked about it with Zhang Wen.

Zhang Wen immediately told her not to pursue the matter and instead provided some support to the factory.

Fortunately, this decision was made. The factory was later taken over by the boss's wife, and after it recovered, it is still one of Gucci's OEM factories.

It provides many employment opportunities for local Chinese.

However, the murderer has not been found yet and the local police have not made any statement.

Now listening to what Winston said, Zhang Wen was basically certain that it was Gemos who did it.

"Winston, if I go to war with Gmos, what are my chances of winning?" Thinking of this, Zhang Wen asked directly.

"Uh~~~Why?" Winston was stunned and asked immediately.

"I was in a garment factory in Naples, and just last year, one of the factory managers was killed by them.

I have to take revenge, because the factory director's wife and children are still chasing me to find the murderer." Zhang Wen explained.

"If what you said is true, then it should be them who did it. Gemos does control most of the garment production companies in Italy." After hearing the reason, Winston nodded.

"If you can kill one of me, you can kill a second one. My factory orders in Italy are still growing very fast." Zhang Wen continued.

"How about this, I will act as a middleman to mediate, and try not to fight if possible.

The other party still has great influence in Italy, and the government will not help you." Winston was somewhat pessimistic about Zhang Wen's proposal.

"I understand. I don't want to fight either, but someone has come to our door to kill us. We have no choice but to fight back." Zhang Wen was also a little helpless.

“Okay, I’ll see what Giovanni says first.

If that doesn't work, I'll talk to the other two companies and see what they say.

If the other two can support you, it will be much easier." Winston felt very difficult.

"Okay, please. Haha, I'm not a pushover either. It's no problem for me to mobilize thousands of gunmen." Zhang Wen said this in front of Giovanni.

"I know. I guess this number will make Giovanni think carefully." Winston also smiled.

The figures Zhang Wen reported were not exaggerated at all. Not to mention the 4 gang members in Hong Kong, just the He Liansheng branches spread all over the world, it would definitely be no problem for each branch to have dozens of members.

Weapons are not a problem at all. There are more than 16 Ms on Longai Island that have not been used, and bullets number in the billions.

Add to that the weapons that will soon be moved out from the Ukrainian warehouse, the situation is even more astonishing. Fighting a small-scale war will be a piece of cake.

However, as long as there is war there will be casualties. Although he has the money to pay those insignificant pensions, those are human lives. It is better not to fight if possible.

The World Cup started on time on June 6th of the Blue Star Calendar. What’s more interesting is that at the opening ceremony, all the sponsoring brands appeared on the catwalk.

It can be considered a combination of football and fashion, which is something that only romantic Italians can come up with.

As the largest sponsor, WENK Group also showed up with its own brand.

As for this World Cup, is it exciting?

If you ask 100 fans, 99 of them will say, "No, it's ugly."

There were frequent fouls and a total of 16 players were sent off with red cards, which is more than the total number of players in the 82 and 86 cup tournaments.

There were frequent upsets and controversial decisions.

Only 52 goals were scored in 115 games, with an average of only 2.21 goals per game, which makes this World Cup the one with the lowest average goals per game.

Some games can even make people who stay up late to watch the game fall asleep.

He no longer has the demeanor of a football king, and even lets Gemos provide him with drugs and prostitutes during the game. How can he play well?

These are all what Giovanni said to Zhang Wen himself, they cannot be false.

Under Winston's coordination, Giovanni promised not to attack Chinese garment factories in Italy anymore.

He also gave the boss a check for $10 as compensation.

Seeing this humble attitude, Zhang Wenle gave up his plan of revenge.

This is due to the fact that the revenue from this World Cup far exceeded the mafia's imagination.

Before the race was over, the three local mafias had taken away more than 20 billion dollars of the tens of billions of dollars in turnover.

If the three companies divide the profit equally, each of them can get more than 7 million yuan, which is how much money they have to make in garment manufacturing to make it back.

In order to make friends with Zhang Wen607, a money-making boy, it is worth giving up some small profits.

Moreover, Zhang Wen’s strength should not be underestimated.

The entire High Table has proposed to create a deacon position for Zhang Wen. This proposal has been supported by more than half of the deacons, so it can basically be said to be a done deal.

It is not a good deal to offend a deacon. Italians who have been involved in the business world understand this.

On July 7, the one-month schedule came to an end. With the Mafia dominating the tournament, the peripheral betting on this World Cup was quite fruitful.

累计流水高达600亿美金和12万多枚金币，总体收益达180亿美金和36000枚金币，收益率达到了30%。

Such a huge amount of money made Zhang Wen stunned.

Fortunately, we are cooperating with the High Table, otherwise, with such huge profits, who knows how many people would take risks.

This result was so gratifying that Zhang Wen had already received a notification from Winston before the profits arrived.

He was promoted to the 13th Deacon of the High Table.

However, while waiting for the final profits to arrive at the New York Continental Hotel.

A bad news still came.

The last plane carrying 10 billion U.S. dollars in gambling funds from Colombia was seized by Interpol.

This 10 billion is all Zhang Wen's money. The High Table Society and other people have already taken all the money.

Chapter 399: Standing in power and establishing authority

One billion US dollars, weighing 10 tons, and it was transported by an Il-12 aircraft.
