Since 1983

July 17, Pasadena.

This is a satellite city to the north of Greater Los Angeles. It has a small population and a high status. There is a world-famous stadium - the Rose Bowl.

At noon, under the poisonous sun, Xu Fei pulled one in each hand and checked the ticket to enter.

The Rose Bowl is quite spectacular from the outside, but when you go inside, it is full of people, with 105,000 seats, which is even more shocking to the senses.

Teacher Xu found a place to sit down, looked left and right, and said worriedly: "Aren't you two hot?"

"I'm okay."

"Hold it."

Xiao Xu and Zhang Li were wearing sun visors, sunglasses, long-sleeved underwear, and their necks were tightly covered. Those who didn't know it thought they were from the Middle East.

It was purely brought by Mr. Xu, discussing sun protection, dysmenorrhea, beauty, lipstick, Barabara, a sub-child of a woman's friend.

Xiao Xu was the most annoying. She scanned around and leaned on Zhang Li's shoulder: "It's good for us to sleep in the hotel, why do we have to run out to be exposed to the sun?"

"Accommodating each other, we have to live." Zhang Li laughed.

"..."

Xu Fei rolled his eyes and said, "Today is the final, so I'll just watch this one. It's so memorable. Let's play it after watching it. Last time we didn't play it all in a month, this time we'll stay for half a month. "

"Hey, it's also commemorative..."

Xiao Xu snorted, "Then why don't you write an article to commemorate it, and call it "American Diary."

"Who is a decent person to keep a diary? Despicable!"

"Hey, save face, save face."

The three of them had made an agreement to take a one-month vacation every year, but their career was often more important during execution. It didn't happen last year, and this year it's just a matter of time and space.

The game will start on June 17th, and it will be a month of fighting. Italy and Brazil will compete for the championship. It will be the early morning of the 18th in Beijing.

After a while, two teams entered the field, one blue and one yellow. Xiao Xu was completely bored and asked casually, "Why is there no Chinese team?"

"You are making trouble!"

Xu Fei is holding a telescope, Romario, Dunga, Bebeto, Maldini, Baresi, Conte...

"Hey, look at that."

He pointed to a short man with a ponytail, "Is he handsome?"

"Hey, that's scary!"

"Why is your hair so curly?"

Um?

Teacher Xu curled his lips, we really have different hobbies, and I don't know how we got together? After all, I am too attractive.

With the whistle of the referee, the final officially began.

He watched with great enthusiasm, the two of them talked to themselves, they ate and drank after talking enough, and chatted after eating and drinking, it took a long time. The most important thing is that the people next to you are startled, it doesn't matter if you score a goal, why don't you scream if you don't score?

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

After an unknown period of time, the referee blew his whistle again.

Xiao Xu saw that the players had dispersed, sat on the court to rest, clapped their hands and said, "Is it over?"

"There are thirty minutes of overtime."

"Hey..."

She rolled into Zhang Li's arms and said sullenly, "I hate Teacher Xu."

"Then you like me."

"Well, I like you the most."

Zhang Li loved her little appearance so much that she couldn't help pinching her cheeks again.

Xu Fei:? ? ?

In a blink of an eye, overtime passed, and the tie was still tied, entering the cruelest penalty shootout.

Under the double scorching of tension and hot weather, the audience lost their physical strength very quickly, and they sweated profusely to replenish water. The Brazilian and Italian fans were almost out of breath, clutching their jerseys and national flags, praying silently.

In an instant, the stadium with 100,000 people was enveloped by a tremendous pressure. Xiao Xu was unconsciously infected, and asked, "Should we take turns playing, and the one who scores more wins?"

"Well, which team do you think will win?"

"Yellow ones, yellow ones are the same color as trophies."

What's the reason? !

Xu Fei stared at the players on the field. If he knew the result earlier, seeing it with his own eyes was another matter. In fact, over the past ten years, he has done many things that outsiders seem to be inexplicable.

There is no reason, it is too wrong to regret it after reliving.

The Italian team was the first to take the penalty. The 34-year-old Baresi kicked and fell to his knees in pain.

The Brazilian fans cheered wildly on the field, but Pagliuca saved Santos' penalty.

Then Albertini, Romario, Evani and Blanco all scored. The fourth player to play was Massaro. His kick was blocked by Taffarel, but Dunga made it overnight.

With only Baggio left in Italy, run-up, bang, the ball flew high over the bar.

"boom!"

The whole rose bowl was burning, boiling. Tafarel knelt on the turf, raised his arms and shouted, while Baggio stood for a long, long time with his hips akimbo and his back lonesome...

...

hotel.

After watching the game, the three of them went to eat and go shopping again, sweaty all over. Xu Fei came back to take a shower, lay down in the big bathtub to relax, it was full of white bubbles, and his legs could be fully stretched.

"At the end, I think that man is a bit handsome. What's his name?"

"I don't remember, I also think it's good, there is a kind of tragic beauty."

"Yes, tragedies are often deeper."

While discussing, the two people raised their legs and stepped in. They automatically divided into left and right sides, and when they sank into the water, they were full of bubbles.

"Go to Disney tomorrow, the one in Orlando last time."

"Okay, I still want to go to Miami Beach, it was too cold last winter."

"I won't go to Hollywood, it's boring. Hey, Mr. Xu, is there any other place in Los Angeles?"

ah? Oh oh, it's my business.

Xu Fei, who was sleeping with his head up, woke up and said, "North of Los Angeles, there is the San Fernando Valley. It belongs to the same film industry town as Hollywood. One makes serious movies, and the other makes bad movies."

"What is an unscrupulous film?" Xiao Xu was curious.

"Just the kind we usually observe..."

"ah!"

Xiao Xu started hitting him.

Plopping foam splashed, and water overflowed the ground. After arguing for a long time, Zhang Lifang asked:

"So you won your bet?"

"Won a little bit."

"How much is one point?"

"One million, thanks to your company."

"I'm also thinking in case it can be used."

It is easy for a thief to open a company in the United States, and so can foreigners. Zhang Li set up a small company in case of emergencies.

In the United States, sports betting was legalized in 2018. It was previously banned, and only four states, Nevada, Oregon, Delaware, and Montana could do so.

Among them, Nevada allows betting on all sports events, and Las Vegas is in the state.

"You put all that money in stocks."

"Going to Riga? It has already risen a lot."

"Plus, I'll sell it when I ask you to sell it."

In the spirit of plucking the wool of capitalism, if you don't make money, you don't make money, Xu Fei entered the finals because he only remembered this one.

Moreover, no one can tell whether the World Cup is manipulated or not, and I dare not press too much.

As for stocks, there is nothing to say, just two poor small stocks.

One Microsoft, one Cisco.

...

The three of them stayed in the United States for half a month, visiting attractions that they hadn't visited before, until the opening of the Venice Film Festival in August.
