Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

"Boss, I've finished searching, and they're all here. \u003cщww.suimeng.lā"

After a long time, Li Qian said softly in a soft and soft voice, and at the same time put the picked out newspaper in front of Xia Yu.

"Thanks a lot!"

Xia Yu raised his head and glanced at Li Qian, said with a smile, then took the newspapers and put them in the pile he picked out.

"Okay, it's getting late. After a day's flight, you must be very sleepy. Hurry back and take a shower and rest early."

Xia Yu cared about Li Qian.

"Well, that boss, I'll go first, you should rest early, don't be exhausted!"

Li Qian stood up obediently and reminded Xia Yu gently before leaving.

"Well, I will!"

Xia Yu nodded with a smile, then continued to look down at the newspaper.

"Click!"

With the sound of the door lock colliding with metal, Li Qian left Xia Yu's room, leaving Xia Yu alone in the room.

As Xia Yu continued to read the newspaper, more and more information was collected and stored in his mind, and he also gained a certain understanding of many things.

At this time, the World Cup in Argentina is in full swing.

But this World Cup, the England men's national football team did not enter the Argentina World Cup finals round of 16.

But it does not mean that the British have no chance, because the Scottish national men's football team has entered the finals.

At this time, many people will be confused, when will Scotland be a country, and there will be a national men's football team to participate in the World Cup!

In fact, there are historical reasons for this!

The United Kingdom, many people think it is like the United States, is called the United States of the Commonwealth or something with British characters.

But in fact, "United Kingdom" is just a short name, its full name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland!

The United Kingdom is a Western European island country consisting of England, Wales and Scotland on the island of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the northeastern part of the island of Ireland and a series of affiliated islands.

The England national team is a national football team managed by the English Football Federation. Due to historical reasons, the four major regions of the UK: Wales, England, Scotland, and Ireland exist as independent national football teams.

Before Ireland became independent from the United Kingdom, the Irish Free State (the predecessor of the Republic of Ireland) established another new football association, while the original Irish Football Federation continued to manage the Northern Ireland team. Since then, there have been five national teams in the British Isles.

But the most famous Olympics do not allow more than one national team to compete in one country, so many people do not know that Britain is special.

However, although the Olympics are not allowed, the World Cup is allowed, so the England national team did not enter the finals, and the Scottish national team can also rush in.

Therefore, after the Scottish national men's football team rushed in, it can still be said to represent the United Kingdom in name and entered the finals. Of course, the participation of the British people has been high, and major newspapers and media have reported the World Cup every day. latest news.

Now that the World Cup is on, the Brits who gamble will naturally buy a few bets, and the major gambling companies have mobilized all their efforts to attract as many people as possible to their betting spots.

In these newspapers, there are many soft advertisements of gambling companies, such as so-and-so or an unknown lucky person, how much heavier, using this kind of example to guide readers to think that their gambling company has a higher winning rate, tempting more customers to go.

After reading these newspapers, Xia Yu sorted out the information, combined with the memories in his mind, and finally had a certain understanding of the distribution of the British gambling industry.

Watching football, of course, there will be no shortage of beer and gambling, not to mention that the British are prone to gamble. Just like in later generations, the Premier League is almost "everyone gambling". Of the 20 teams in the Premier League, more than half of the team's sponsors are spinach. company.

In fact, going back to the source, modern sports betting was invented by the British.

From the Middle Ages to the 19th century, the upsurge of raising and racing horses spread from the British princes and nobles to the people. Although ordinary citizens and villagers could not afford the cost of raising horses, they still scrambled to watch the rich show competition of local tyrants and squires. Everyone commented on the horses, but there was no consensus. Those who had good deeds simply made a bet to prove their vision. Betting money is generally handed over to some so-called "respected" people. The middleman guarantees that the stake will be distributed to the winner according to the result, subject to a certain commission.

Since then, the first batch of British "bookmakers" have been born in this way.

With the development of horse racing, the ethos of gambling has become increasingly prosperous among the British people, and has been extended to other activities.

Football has also become an increasingly important market in the gaming industry as the British invented modern football. At that time, the British government had a subtle attitude towards gambling - canceling the national lottery that had been issued since the 16th century, but there was no ban on private gambling. The "Gambling Licensing Law" in 1860, the "Gambling Law" in 1892 and other related laws brought gambling into the system track of government management, and gambling began to take on a large-scale and regularized attitude.

So, since then, the British have held high the talisman of liberalism and began to "gamble for money"!

Hong Kong's Jockey Club, betting on horses only appeared under the influence of Britain.

It is precisely because the British people all gamble and the law allows gambling, so the British gambling industry is booming, and its scope is getting wider and wider, and its influence is getting bigger and bigger.

Up to now, there are quite a lot of large-scale gambling companies in the UK, not to mention horse racing betting. In football betting, the three British betting giants are world-famous, not only in the UK, but also in Europe, and even in the world, they are also first-class. A giant.

The eldest of the three giants, William Hill, the real UK's largest and most stable Zhuang, was established in 194 and is affiliated to the William Hill Hotel Management Group. One of the affected bookmakers.

William Hill operates more than 200 betting shops and betting shops across the UK alone, with 00,000 global customers, and is the world's largest telephone betting service company.

The second, Ladbrokes, is one of the world's largest external betting companies, offering betting services in the UK, Belgium, Ireland, Spain, the US and Argentina. The Ladbrokes Group has offices in almost 50 countries around the world and employs more than 66,000 people.

In addition, Ladbrokes is also a subsidiary of the famous international hotel group Hilton Group, so Ladbrokes has set up betting terminals in these hotels. For example, in the hotel where Xia Yu lives now, he saw Ladbrokes' betting terminal.

The third gaoral, whose main business is concentrated in the UK and Italy, has more than 1,800 stores in the UK and 870 stores in Italy.

British gaming companies open a spinach store just like a convenience store. From this point of view, we can see the real situation of a corner of the British gaming industry.

"They are all giants, and the annual turnover is very terrifying, then the probability of my betting on the ball not being discovered will be smaller, and the amount of betting can also be larger, which can speed up the efficiency."

"It has been decided. Starting tomorrow, I will start betting from the betting shops of these gambling companies, and a new round of betting will start tomorrow!"

After making the decision, Xia Yu finally put down the newspaper, looked at the time, and found that it was getting late, he yawned and walked into the bathroom...
