Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

When the two signed the bet, the news spread around the world immediately. The development of the internet allows some things to spread globally in an instant.

The winner is the one who gains more profit.

The two separated, unaware that they had become "internet celebrities" because of the bet.

Zhang San asked one of the bodyguards, who was a football fan, "What's the situation with the two teams in the European Championship final?"

"Portugal vs. Greece, but people don't think Greece will win."

Zhang San asked, "Why? Greece made it to the final; they must be a strong team."

"Boss, the Portuguese are very strong. They can control the situation on the field, and their players include superstars like Figo and Rui Costa. They are clearly superior in strength."

Zhang San thought for a moment. Since the opponent was so strong, then... He immediately turned on his computer, started to compile some data, and then said, "The first half ended in a 0-0 draw, worth fifty million US dollars."

Why bet on a draw? In Zhang San's view, in previous finals, the first half was mostly a draw. He was just betting, and besides, it was based on big data. People wouldn't go all out, so you could say he was playing it safe.

As for who will win, he really doesn't know.

He had already made a phone call to arrange for someone to buy it, and he was recognized as soon as he walked out of the hotel.

"Hey, Chinese kid, I'm telling you Portugal is going to win, you should bet on Portugal."

Many people recognized him, and they started talking, urging him to bet on Portugal, because Portugal seemed to have the advantage, and Greece was just lucky and hadn't encountered any worthy opponents.

Zhang San was a little confused as to why these people recommended Portugal. Was it because this was Portugal? Moreover, stock market investors know the saying of the stock market guru: "When others are acting crazy, you should be careful; when everyone is being careful, you should act crazy."

Since everyone is optimistic about Portugal, Greece has a very good chance of winning.

However, just as Zhang San went to buy the ticket, he ran into Tario again, who said, "Hehe... If you listen to them, you will definitely lose. You should have Greece win. Greece will definitely win."

"Then I'll bet on Greece to win, the kind they'd win even in extra time."

"Ha ha……"

Zhang San looked like a complete novice who had never played ball before, and his behavior drew ridicule from many people.

Many people laughed, including Tario. He hadn't expected this Chinese man to be so easily fooled, believing such a thing. Zhang San outwardly bet on Greece to win, but secretly also bet on a draw in the first half, hoping the opponent would stage a comeback and give him the chance to pull off a stunning victory.

In the 2004 European Championship, the final match began thanks to a bet between Zhang San and Tario.

On the football field, fate is unpredictable, like ever-changing winds and clouds. Players give their all, yet things often don't go as planned.

The ball is round, just like life, full of endless possibilities. Every shot could be the key to changing the course of the game, but the outcome is not always what we hope for.

Sometimes, teams that seem to have the game in the bag are reversed by their opponents at the last minute; other times, teams that are slightly weaker can create miracles with their tenacious fighting spirit and a bit of luck.

In the VIP section of the stadium, while watching the game, Zhang San slowly fell asleep, probably because he was too relaxed, even though he didn't know whether the game would end in a loss or a win. On camera, people watching on TV noticed that Zhang San was asleep, and they even tried to see if he was really asleep or just pretending, but that didn't matter. When the hosts saw Zhang San sleeping, they sensed there was news to be had, so they went over to him.

They want to see if Zhang San is really asleep or pretending. If he is really asleep, then this guy is just too carefree. But it doesn't matter, they will verify it.

"I want to see if your boss is really asleep?" the female host said bluntly.

The bodyguards wouldn't listen and wouldn't let them in.

"That's not right."

The protests were ineffective, and the first half quickly ended with the score at 0-0. The second half then began...

"That's a lucky kid!"

Ultimately, Greece won the European Championship, breaking the hearts of many on the pitch.

Greece won a corner kick and scored a goal from it... Many people felt that the Portuguese were a bit out of sorts...

But that's not the most important thing, because there's something even more important: the duel between the two, and many people want to know what each of them bet on.

However, someone revealed that Tario bet on Portugal to win, perhaps for safety reasons, he only bet on Portugal to win, while Mr. Stephen bet on Greece to win, which is truly shocking, but he bet an astonishing one million US dollars... There are so many rich guys, that's the conclusion drawn by those who saw the news.

In this showdown, only Zhang San remained at the hotel; Taori was nowhere to be seen.

A large crowd had gathered in the hotel lobby, waiting for the other person to arrive, but the other person did not show up.

"That's a coward, he actually ran away!"

Just then, a bearded man speaking Portuguese came in. He ran over, clearly having already inquired at another nearby hotel, only to find no one there.

"They disappeared after the match; they must have lost and run away. What cowards."

All the onlookers who wanted to watch the drama unfold burst into laughter and then congratulated Zhang San.

"What a lucky kid! Hey, lucky fellow, can you tell me why you bet on Greece?"

Zhang San said somewhat embarrassedly, "The stock market guru once said: 'Be careful when others are acting crazy; be crazy when others are acting cautiously.' That's right. Besides, you all mentioned Portugal, so I'll buy Greece instead. Moreover, Tario also recommended that I buy Greece, so I followed his advice and bought Greece. He's really a good person."

"Hahaha... What a lucky guy."

"I should have bought it like Lucky Boy."

"I feel so heartbroken..."

……

Just as everyone was discussing this, Zhang San stood on the table and said, "I'll go claim the prize, and then... everyone here, it's my treat today. Let's go to the bar across the street, and Stephen will pay for the whole thing."

How much did he win? Over a hundred million dollars. But he paid a lot in taxes, which made him feel... So he went to that bar, where there was a long line of people waiting for him.

Soon, a commotion broke out, and he was ushered into the bar like a star. He found the bar manager and produced a check for five hundred thousand dollars.

"Today, all the drinks for these people here are on me, five hundred thousand dollars, OK?"

"Wow! What a generous guy, just as you wish."

At this moment, the entire bar was packed with people, and their conversations immediately spread to every corner.

"Hooray, lucky boy!"
