Halfway through the banquet, Charles Capet was dancing with Marion Cotillard when the lights came on and a person appeared on the stage.
Antoine Arnault walked onto the podium with a microphone in his hand, smiling.
"Is this an after-party event?" Charles Capet looked at the stage with some curiosity.
Marion Cotillard shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I hope everyone had a great time tonight. Now we have another interesting activity to participate in;"
Antoine Arnault laughed, "The latest European Championship is about to start. Our France National Team has the lowest odds of winning, and it's very likely they will win;"
"In Europe, football matches are always associated with sports lotteries. Therefore, I have partnered with BNP Paribas and Partouche Entertainment Group to set up European Championship odds. Everyone can place bets for entertainment!"
Marion Cotillard whispered to Charles Capet, "We are very passionate about football, and buying football lottery tickets is a very common thing;"
"Partouche is the largest entertainment and resort group in France and even Europe, integrating resort hotels, casinos, and a series of activity facilities. There is a Partouche casino in the Cannes Film Palace."
Soon, many staff members came to distribute some odds sheets for the matches. It wasn't complicated, just guessing the champion and runner-up.
Charles Capet almost laughed out loud. He had originally planned to go to a large betting station, and a betting station probably wouldn't handle such a large amount of money; it would definitely require a long period of analysis and discussion.
I never expected it; heaven is helping me!
Charles Capet now looked at Antoine Arnault, who was explaining on stage, and found him more and more pleasing to the eye. The odds were managed by Partouche, and BNP Paribas handled the settlement.
Antoine Arnault, BNP Paribas, and Partouche were partners in operating the bookmaking.
"We will also donate 30% of the profits from this European Championship betting to a charity fund!"
Soon, many guests began to enthusiastically select their favored teams.
Charles Capet also sat with Marion Cotillard and looked at the odds. Greece National Team's odds of winning were 81. Charles Capet's gaze went directly to Greece, which was third from the bottom.
"Charles Capet, aren't you going to buy? You can just pick a few teams," Marion Cotillard also had her own insights and chose traditional strong teams like France, Spain, Germany, and Italy.
Charles Capet just smiled. The amount he was buying was really quite large. He wondered if they would dare to accept it?
People successively handed their forms to the staff for accounting. Charles Capet was not far from the stage and raised the form in his hand, asking, "Mr. Arnault, is there a betting limit?"
Although his voice wasn't loud, many people must have heard it and immediately turned their gaze to Charles Capet.
"Currently there is no limit, but don't buy too much, after all, this is very difficult!" The Partouche representative explained with a smile.
Charles Capet nodded and then asked, "The odds for Latvia are 200, meaning if I buy 1 million euro, you will pay me 200 million euro!"
"Pfft," Antoine Arnault really couldn't hold back. Do all american upstarts like to dream like this?
"That's right, if Latvia wins the championship, BNP Paribas will notify you to make the payment as soon as possible!" Antoine Arnault still explained with a suppressed smile,
"Mr. Charles Capet, please don't make fun of everyone with teams that no one buys!"
"Oh, then I'll buy 1 million euro for Latvia to be the champion!"
As Charles Capet's voice fell, there was silence all around, and even the three people on stage fell silent.
"Are you serious?" The Partouche representative asked with some uncertainty.
"Yes, aren't you going to accept it?" Charles Capet smiled.
"Accept, of course!" How could Antoine Arnault not do such a money-making business?
"Charles Capet, do you understand football?" Marion Cotillard asked in surprise. The people here mostly bought tens or twenties of thousands, but 1 million euro?
"Then I'll continue to buy 5.1 million euro for the Greece National Team to win the championship!"
"Clink," there was the sound of a cup falling.
Everyone had only one thought: this american must be crazy!
Even Antoine Arnault was stunned for a moment. He was surprised. 5.1 million euro for Greece National Team to win?
Moreover, Charles Capet's eyes were not joking.
"Charles Capet," Marion Cotillard next to him was also a bit at a loss.
"Oh, my mistake, it's 5.1 million euro. This beautiful Lady next to me also buys 100,000 euro!" Charles Capet said, then turned and kissed Marion Cotillard for a while.
The Lady's words were completely stuck in her mouth.
"Charles Capet, we need to discuss this and will get back to you soon!" The Partouche representative pulled the BNP Paribas Representative and Antoine Arnault to the back to discuss.
Luc Besson walked over casually, saying with some profound meaning, "Charles Capet, you know how many people are involved in football, right?"
Everyone knew that americans liked American football, baseball, and basketball and were not interested in football, so Luc Besson asked this.
Charles Capet was torn between laughter and tears, and said, "Aren't they also donating 30% of their profits to a charity fund after they make a profit? I guess I've also done a little good deed."
However, Charles Capet was still a bit worried about this total bet of 6.1 million euro. Latvia was going to lose; this was a bet on an underdog.
He wondered if they would accept a 5.1 million euro bet. Charles Capet had thought it through. The prize money would be over 400 million euro at that time. It wouldn't be too much for the three of them to lose over 100 million euro each, would it?
20 million US dollars, according to the exchange rate, is now more than 16 million euro!
After waiting for about ten minutes, Antoine Arnault and the other two all accepted Charles Capet's super large bet, because Charles Capet's bet was truly rare.
A total of 6.1 million euro, but they only allowed Charles Capet to pay 6 million euro into the BNP Paribas account.
After all the agreements were signed, Charles Capet was truly relieved. With so many prominent people present, he wasn't afraid of them reneging on the deal later.
That night, after Charles Capet and Marion Cotillard returned to the Ritz Hotel, the Lady still felt somewhat incredulous.
"Charles Capet, do you know you bought over 5 million euro for Greece National Team to win the European Championship? Among the 16 finalist teams, Greece National Team's strength is in the lowest tier!"
"Yes, I know, betting on an underdog!" Charles Capet was actually very excited inside.
He walked over and hugged the Lady, then passionately kissed her. Her red low-cut evening gown was immediately torn open.
"Charles Capet, I haven't showered yet!" Marion Cotillard felt Charles Capet was in high spirits and reminded him while responding.
"Later, after we shower. What I did tonight was indeed a bit crazy, a bit exciting!" Charles Capet said, pressing the Lady down.
Now, there will be a large sum of money!
