Chapter 292 43 million!
Las Vegas, BRICS Hotel.
Although most hotels in Las Vegas are open 24 hours a day.
But at seven or eight in the morning, Las Vegas was still asleep.
Few tourists would choose to stay at this time.
But in an office at the BRICS Hotel.
Michael Fertitta watched the game result on TV, his hands trembling.
The score that Wang Xiucheng bet on actually came out!
Although he had only played one game and needed at least one more, Michael Fertitta was no longer willing to take any risks at this point.
Large beads of sweat appeared on Michael Fertitta's forehead. He took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Prepare cash and immediately hedge against German and Japanese positions..."
……
"Brother, when is the next match?"
Mawei had been running around inside for more than ten minutes, and he wouldn't have stopped if he wasn't so tired.
He hasn't had this much exercise in a long time.
The soundproofing in the Four Seasons Hotel room is much better than the hotel where Wang Xiucheng and Megan Fox stayed last time, otherwise the downstairs neighbors would have come looking for them long ago.
"tomorrow morning."
"Tomorrow? Bro, aren't you going to Philadelphia later?"
After finishing four away games, the Nets only played one home game before embarking on another away trip.
The Nets will face Philadelphia on the road tonight, then play the Raptors in Toronto tomorrow (a back-to-back game), rest for a day, and then challenge the Pacers in Indiana.
Then the Nets can return to New York.
Fortunately, these places are not far from New York, so there is no need for a long journey.
"I'll have to watch the game in Philadelphia."
Wang Xiucheng was also somewhat disappointed.
It wasn't because I couldn't watch the game at home, but because I couldn't watch it with Zhang Jiani.
Zhang Jiani was also aware of the problem, but she seemed fine, without the disappointed expression that Wang Xiucheng showed.
"Brother, if you can win tomorrow's match too, how much can you win?" Ma Wei continued to ask, his eyes shining.
"This game has a 90x odds ratio, and tomorrow's game has a 16x odds ratio. If that also goes up, it'll be 1440x. 3 million would be 4.32 billion!"
Wang Xiucheng had already calculated this, so he spoke up without hesitation.
"43 billion?"
When Ma Wei heard the number, he couldn't breathe properly.
Seeing Wu Di and Wu Jia, who also looked completely unaccustomed to the world, the group jumped up again.
43 million?
Damn...
so much?
Zhang Jiani's hand, which Wang Xiucheng had been holding, suddenly moved, as if she couldn't believe that Wang Xiucheng could win by so much.
Zhang Jiani tried to pull her hand away several times, but Wang Xiucheng held it firmly each time.
Seemingly afraid that Ma Wei and the others behind the sofa would notice, Zhang Jiani didn't dare to make any big movements.
"So much money?" Zhang Jiani asked in a low voice.
"Just kidding, it's not that easy to get it done," Wang Xiucheng replied with a smile. "Besides, even if you did get it done, you'd have to pay a hefty tax."
"Brother," Ma Wei suddenly asked again, "43 billion, can Fertitta afford to pay that?"
Wang Xiucheng's tone became serious: "Under normal circumstances, they should hedge their positions. If they are greedy and don't do so this time, then the Fertitta family will need to give me one-third of their assets."
"If they don't want to give it to me, they need to kill me."
"But now the whole world knows that I spent 900 million to bet on three upsets at the BRICS Hotel. If I die, Fertitta will be implicated."
"Their family assets are said to be over 100 billion. They can afford to give me a third of that. Although it would be a significant blow, it wouldn't be enough to make them fight me to the death."
“Of course.” Wang Xiucheng suddenly laughed. “We’ll need to play another match.”
The Fertitta family were originally Italian gangsters, and they still maintain connections with them today. It's impossible for Wang Xiucheng not to be afraid.
However, after planning for so long and spending millions, by the time Wang Xiucheng discovered that Evans had switched to BRICS, it was too late to change his plans.
This is why Wang Xiucheng wanted to connect with state-owned enterprises.
Having an additional layer of official status ultimately provides an extra layer of assurance.
What Wang Xiucheng is doing now, and what he will do in the future, is all about snatching meat from the mouths of these capitalists; without someone backing him, he can't succeed.
Fortunately, Fertitta has toned it down considerably in order to become an ambassador.
"Let's go have breakfast."
Wang Xiucheng suddenly stood up and carefully collected the tickets on the table.
……
That evening, the Nets challenged the 76ers in Philadelphia.
The two teams battled for four quarters. In the final moments, Wang Xiucheng hit a three-pointer and a layup.
But thanks to the combined efforts of Embiid and Maxi, Philadelphia defeated the Nets 115-106 at home.
Wang Xiucheng scored 29 points, 11 assists, and 3 steals in this game.
Durant scored 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists.
Embiid scored 35 points, while Maxi only had 17 points, but he and Wang Xiucheng both had 11 assists, making him look like the third option.
Harden, who transferred to Philadelphia in February, was injured in a game against the Wizards earlier this month and is still some time away from returning.
We'll just have to watch from the sidelines for now.
Just one hour after the game ended, the league announced the Players of the Week for the fifth week.
In the Western Conference, De'Aaron Fox of the Sacramento Kings averaged 25 points and 8 assists last week, leading the team to a 3-0 record.
Meanwhile, Haliburton in the East averaged 21 points, 4 rebounds, and 11 assists last week, also achieving a 3-0 record.
In terms of nominations, Wang Xiucheng was nominated for Eastern Conference Player of the Year along with Beal, Garland, Turner, and Wagner.
Although Wang Xiucheng had better individual statistics, the Nets' record, especially their 153-point loss to the Kings, was not enough to earn him the Player of the Week award.
After the game, the Nets did not stay overnight in Philadelphia, but instead took a flight directly to Toronto.
Philadelphia is only about 500 kilometers away from Toronto.
Less than two hours later, the entire Nets team checked into the Maple Leaf Hotel in Toronto.
The next morning, at 8 a.m.
Ma Wei and Wu Jia, who had already checked in, arrived at Wang Xiucheng's room with dark circles under their eyes.
For this away trip, Wang Xiucheng left Wu Di in New York.
After all, Ma Xiaoxuan and Zhang Jiani were staying at the Four Seasons Hotel, and Wang Xiucheng felt at ease with Wu Di there.
The three people sat on the sofa in the room, yawning as they watched the game.
In the 33rd minute, Gündoğan scored a penalty, giving Germany a 1-0 lead over Japan.
Ma Wei and his partner only celebrated briefly.
Just like the previous match, the stronger team scored first.
The key is to see in the next game whether the team with the weaker roster on paper can come back and win.
With anticipation, the three continued to watch the match.
When the game reached the 75th minute, the Japanese team finally scored a goal.
Even the usually composed Wang Xiucheng stood up at this moment.
