All-round Athlete

Chapter 50 Familiar accountant

Bell was one of the journalists sent by the British BBC to Athens to cover the Olympics.

For Bell, being sent to Athens, where he can watch the wonderful Olympic games, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Aegean Sea, and get an allowance for going out, is definitely an excellent job. It is better than staying in desolate London Much stronger.

After a day's work was over, Bell returned to his residence, made himself a cup of coffee, then sat on the wicker chair on the balcony, picked up a newspaper, and began to enjoy the leisure time.

Tourists Buying Iraq Wins Portugal and Wins 4 Million, there are always a dozen lucky ones every year! Bell saw the news in the corner of the newspaper.

A tourist from China placed a big bet on Iraq's 4:2 victory over Portugal and won a total of more than 4 million euros in bonuses. My God, how could anyone buy Iraq's 4:2 victory over Portugal? This is not a gambling company Let’s have a marketing ad!” Bell saw a small photo attached to the newspaper, which showed a man of Chinese descent receiving a check from a spinach company.

Hey, why does this Chinese look familiar? I must have seen him somewhere. Bell looked at the photo seriously. Perhaps the black and white of the newspaper affected the quality of the photo, and Bell couldn't remember where he had seen this Chinese man.

Bell picked up his coffee cup, turned around and returned to the house, opened his laptop, entered the OPAP website, and found this news inside.

The photos on the computer are much clearer than those in newspapers, and Bell recognized it at a glance. This is the Chinese person he interviewed in front of the betting shop a few days ago. Bell's interview had been broadcast in the UK as early as two days ago. However, due to the approaching of the Olympic Games, various Olympic reports emerged one after another, Bell's interview did not attract attention, and was quickly buried in the news of the Olympic Games.

It turned out to be him! Damn, what a shit luck! 4 million euros, enough for him to spend a few lifetimes in China. Iraq beat Portugal 4:2, anyone with a little brain would not buy it. Wait a minute, isn't it What kind of inside information did this Chinese get? A conspiracy theory flashed through Bell's mind.

Then Bell immediately denied his idea.

Probably not. Even if there is inside information, it should not be known by a Chinese. It seems that this Chinese is either a spinach master, or he is lucky, or it may be magical oriental witchcraft. By the way, I remember that what I bought that day was not the match between Iraq and Portugal, but a Chinese athlete who won the 100-meter championship.

Bell immediately opened the official website of the Athens Olympic Games and found the profiles of all men's 100-meter athletes in track and field events.

Haijian-Chen, this is a Chinese player. No, it wasn't that name at the time. Bell swiped the page, and then looked down.

Guan-Zhang, yes, the Chinese bought him! Bell clicked on the name, and the basic information and photos of the athletes were presented in front of Bell.

What! This... this is... this is the bettor himself! Then he bought himself to win the championship before! God, it's crazy! What an idiot! Bell exclaimed.

But then, Bell discovered that this is definitely a very gimmick news. A contestant who is impossible to win a medal spent tens of thousands of euros to bet on himself to win the Olympic championship. This is definitely full of topicality. It is as surprising as Mongolia suddenly spending 10 billion to build an aircraft carrier. More importantly, this contestant is a Chinese. According to the BBC's frequent slander against China, Bell can make full use of it in the article to create highlights and attract the attention of the audience.

As for Zhang Guan's purchase of Iraq's 4:2 victory over Portugal, it has long been left behind by Bell. There are a few cases of such unpopular purchases and winning big prizes in Europe every year. This can only show that people's luck is against the sky, but But it's not impossible. It's as lucky as a gold prospector who dug up gold in an abandoned gold mine.

Gold diggers dug up gold in abandoned gold mine or Mongolia spent 10 billion to build an aircraft carrier, which of these two news headlines is more attractive? Obviously the latter. Everyone knows that Mongolia has no sea at all. Which one is more gimmick, an Olympic contestant betting on an unpopular prize or a Chinese athlete betting huge sums of money on himself to win the Olympic 100-meter champion? Obviously the latter too. Because the whole world believes that it is impossible for the Chinese to win the Olympic 100-meter champion.

At this time, Bell left the enjoyment of leisure time behind him, but by the computer, he began to prepare and write an earth-shattering report.

...

Flegoskes is an accountant, and his accounting firm has served OPAP for a long time.

Today, OPAP introduced a business to an accounting firm. A tourist just earned a huge sum of 4 million euros through gambling. He needs to transfer this huge sum of money out of Athens and pay as little handling fee as possible. Today is the day that Flegoskes and the tourist agreed to meet.

To Flegiskes' surprise, the place agreed upon by the tourist was not in the center of Athens, but a cafe in the open area of ​​the Olympic Village.

What a lucky guy. If I'm not mistaken, this lucky guy should be him! Thinking, he walked into the cafe and asked the waiter, I've made an appointment, may I ask? Where is table number 5?

It's over there. The waiter pointed in one direction, and Flegoskes turned his head to look, and found a face he had seen before.

Sure enough, it's that Easterner. Flegoskes walked over and said, Hello, sir, I didn't expect that we would meet again. My name is Varys Flegoskes, and I'm an accountant.

Yeah, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon. Zhang Guan asked the other party to sit down.

Flegesquez was the middle-aged man in the khaki suit who analyzed to Zhang Guan how strong Portugal was at the betting shop. Therefore, when Flegoskes learned that someone bought Iraq 4:2 Portugal, the first thing that came to mind was the Easterner he saw in the betting shop.

Flagskes ordered a cup of coffee, and then said, Unexpectedly, I witnessed a miracle at the betting shop that day! I tried to prevent you from betting on Iraq, but luckily you didn't listen to me.

I've always been very optimistic about Iraq, and I think they have a chance to enter the semi-finals. Zhang Guan said.

The final four? I trust your judgment. I will definitely bet on Iraq to enter the semi-finals in a while. Flegoskes said.

It's just that the odds for Iraq are much lower now. Zhang Guan said with a smile.

Since Iraq defeated Portugal, the gambling company immediately changed the odds. Some people even analyzed that Iraq might win the championship. Now betting on Iraq is not as high as it was a few days ago.

Then, the two got to the point.

Zhang Guan took the lead and said: Mr. Flagskes, I want to transfer this bonus back to China. You know that I am a Chinese. If I earn money, I still have to go back to China to spend it. But I don't know how to do it. , so I need your help.

Mr. Zhang, thank you very much for your trust. We have many ways to transfer your money to China. Flagskes lowered his voice, and continued: Of course there are some special methods.

Zhang Guan knew that the so-called special method of Flegoskes was probably related to the money laundering of underground money houses, so Zhang Guan immediately shook his head: I need a legal way, even if it will cost more procedures fee.

Okay, sir, we also have many legal ways. Flegoskes went on to introduce: The first is directly through international electronic remittance, which can be remitted to any bank in your country that starts foreign exchange business. However, you need to pay A large amount of handling fees. In addition, due to historical reasons, NATO is very strict on the review of large amounts of funds directly remitted to Russia and China. And as far as I know, there are restrictions on the settlement of foreign exchange by citizens of their own countries when they return home. Sometimes they may encounter Trouble, so I don't recommend you go through this procedure.

Zhang Guan nodded: You are right. Our country has no limit on the number of overseas remittances and inward remittances, but there is a limit on the settlement of foreign exchange, which is equivalent to 50,000 US dollars per person per year.

In addition, there is a second method, which is to bring money to your country in the form of trade through a foreign trade company. We can find a suitable trading company for you, but this method is more complicated. You know that foreign trade The settlement cycle will be relatively long, and if the exchange rate fluctuates, you may suffer losses, and may even exceed your normal remittance fees. After finishing speaking, he took a sip of coffee and saw Zhang Guan He continued without asking any questions.

The third method is through the United Kingdom. First remit funds from Greece to the United Kingdom. Since the United Kingdom and Greece are both EU countries, there is no problem in cross-border remittances; and then transfer the money to Hong Kong through a multinational financial company. You know Due to historical reasons, there are very few financial restrictions between the UK and Hong Kong, and now there are many companies doing this business in the UK; finally, you need to open an account in Hong Kong and transfer the money into your account. Hong Kong is the financial center of Asia, and there are very few restrictions on the settlement of funds. This method is fast, convenient, safe, less expensive, and can save a lot of trouble. I strongly recommend you to choose this solution.”

Okay, I'll choose the third method, but I hope you can wait for a while before proceeding. Zhang Guan replied immediately.

Why? Flagskes asked.

Don't forget that I also bought the Iraqi team to enter the semi-finals. Maybe in a few days, I will have a big bonus again. Zhang Guan said with a smile on his face.
