Chapter 2351 - 596: One Hundred Years of Solitude
But he was still curious, why does Inzaghi have so much confidence in him?
"Did you really invest that much?"
Huang Kaiwen asked.
"Hehe, actually not that much."
Inzaghi said, "Many of my investments can’t be transferred immediately, but my confidence in you is unwavering."
Gagliani lowered his head to eat, pretending not to hear.
No wonder Inzaghi can always renew his contract.
"So you didn’t approach the Sicilians?"
Huang Kaiwen asked.
"They’re a bit scared," Inzaghi said.
Huang Kaiwen rolled his eyes.
No kidding.
Your all-in attitude is terrifying; normal people would be afraid you can’t repay the money.
"So, how much did you actually invest?"
Huang Kaiwen asked.
"30 million!"
Inzaghi said with a smile.
Huang Kaiwen nodded.
Inzaghi asked excitedly, "Do you think we stand a big chance of winning this time?"
"I think losing 30 million won’t make you too upset."
Huang Kaiwen said.
Inzaghi immediately lamented dramatically, "You can’t do this to me. For the sake of our friendship, you must win."
"You might as well take out all my competitors. That’s easier than me winning five consecutive gold medals."
Huang Kaiwen said.
He was most confident in the triathlon and archery.
No need to speak of archery, with so much reinforcement of upper body strength and hand control, and after practical tests, this event is the one he uses to slap the little devils and little sticks in the face.
Tell them the gold medal now belongs to Huang.
As for the components of the triathlon, he has skills in all of them. If it were just a short distance event, Huang Kaiwen wouldn’t be so confident. But the triathlon with 500 meters of swimming, 8 kilometers of cycling, and 10 kilometers of running requires endurance.
Mr. Huang has greatly improved his fitness through continuous enhancements, so the more physically demanding the event, the more advantageous it is for him.
100, 200 meters need not be discussed.
Managing to beat Bolt once is quite an achievement.
As for a second time?
Possibly pushing Bolt to the limits of his physical capacity.
Then there’s the equestrian event.
Such events are also a test for the horse.
While the Yellow Ball King is exceptionally gifted, Sang Biao may not have such talent.
Inzaghi is just sending money to William Hill.
Inzaghi, feeling bitter, clutched Huang Kaiwen’s hand and asked, "Is there really no chance?"
"Well, not entirely,"
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.
"Really?!"
Inzaghi asked, eyes wide open.
"Of course, but the odds are about as high as you declaring war on the United States tomorrow."
Huang Kaiwen said.
Inzaghi deflated like a balloon and slid off his chair.
Gagliani got up to leave.
"It’s raining in London."
Huang Kaiwen suddenly said.
Gagliani stopped in his tracks, the line "It’s raining in Macondo" from "One Hundred Years of Solitude" flashed through his mind, an expression of dissatisfaction with chaos.
Is Kevin talking about the team or recent work?
Gagliani began to reflect.
Unable to determine any issue, he braced himself and asked, "And then?"
"What ’and then,’ I’m just telling you to take an umbrella when you leave."
Huang Kaiwen said.
Gagliani nodded and quickly left Kevin’s house.
Seeing Gagliani leave.
Inzaghi immediately hugged Huang Kaiwen’s leg, reluctant to let go, and exclaimed, "For the sake of our friendship, you must train well."
"You know me, training might get me injured!"
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.
Inzaghi immediately shut his mouth.
Earlier, he was a bit impulsive, only thinking about the profit.
But now, seeing Huang Kaiwen’s attitude, he’s discouraged!
million Euros may not break the bank, but it’s still 30 million!
Many players can’t even earn that much in their lifetime, let alone save 30 million.
Thinking about such a large sum going down the drain.
Inzaghi decided he would stay at Kevin’s house during this holiday, saving himself some money at least for a summer.
Huang Kaiwen didn’t mind either.
Having a friend at home is nice.
If he had to choose, he’d prefer Kaka or Ramos.
Not far from Kevin’s house, in Kensington Palace.
Prince William of the House of Mountbatten-Windsor had been sitting in the study all morning.
The equestrian event originated in the United Kingdom.
The countries and regions where these two events are popular are basically countries where European royalty is influential, as well as former territories of The Empire on which the sun never sets.
It’s an outright aristocratic sport.
Many schools in Europe have equestrian courses, but when delving deeper, it becomes apparent that the British Royal Family holds significant influence over this sport.
William was contemplating something.
He’s always been the one needing Huang Kaiwen’s influence.
But Huang Kaiwen doesn’t need him as a prince.
The so-called royal status bears no weight in front of Huang Kaiwen.
Although Huang Kaiwen always shows him respect, agreeing to what he can do and explaining when he can’t.
But William is not satisfied with this situation.
From a young age he was taught that when others give you benefits, you must reciprocate.
This is the foundation of relationships.
Constantly taking without giving back makes one feel inferior, even if the other party doesn’t mind.
This makes him feel uneasy in front of Huang Kaiwen.
Thinking of this, William gritted his teeth and picked up the phone to call, "Father, I need your help..."
It’s only because he had no choice.
He really didn’t want to ask Prince Charles.
But William knew bothering his dad was better than being in debt to Huang Kaiwen.
So he straightforwardly explained the situation.
Later.
Staff from the International Equestrian Federation went to the stables.
"What are they here for? Haven’t they already checked?"
The staff at the stables complained.
"I don’t know, maybe it’s just for show. After all, now that Kevin is participating in the equestrian events, the attention has increased significantly."
Another staff member said.
Recently, they’ve heard a lot of discussions about equestrian events.
Previously, this kind of attention was exclusive to football.
Especially those tourists with obvious foreign characteristics, almost everyone had a "Horse Riding Event Guide" in hand.
Thinking about how popular the British Empire’s project has become.
The staff at the stables couldn’t help but puff up their chests with pride.
The Equestrian Federation staff just took samples from the horses and didn’t cause much trouble, almost leaving right after sampling.
Unlike previous officials who came to inspect.
However, that evening, the International Equestrian Federation’s official website announced: "We found issues with the horses of some competitors."
Such news didn’t catch much attention.
But the next morning, the International Equestrian Federation held a press conference.
The Equestrian Federation’s Secretary-General Sendel said, "We’re pleased that this equestrian event has received global attention. We eagerly welcome competitors like Kevin to participate in equestrian events. To this end, we’ve prepared extensively. However, during analysis of the horses of a certain competitor, we detected doping substances, which may have resulted from food contamination. Nonetheless, to be cautious, before the hearing, the Swiss competitor Steve Gelder and his two horses need to face a temporary suspension!"
