In the European Championship group stage match that evening, Croatia defeated Denmark 3-0.
The odds of 3-0 were 3 to 1. Liang Liang bet $50,000 and won $100,000.
There will be no matches during the European Championship on June 17th.
On June 18th, there will be two matches for each of Groups A and B.
Of the four matches, Liang Liang chose the Netherlands vs. England.
Because this was the game with the biggest score of the four matches.
England and the Netherlands are evenly matched, and the outcome will likely be decided by one or two goals; either side could win or lose.
Therefore, the possibility of a high-scoring game between the two sides is extremely small.
But this match really did end with a high score.
The odds for a score of 1 to 4 are 5 to 1, which is worth a try.
Liang Liang placed a bet of 200,000.
June 18th was also their first performance in Germany. At 8 p.m. local time, the China Avant-garde Music Week kicked off.
Liang Liang believes that Chinese people don't know much about Chinese culture, and with the European Cup taking place, there won't be many audience members coming to watch the cultural week performances.
But when the opening ceremony took place, things were somewhat unexpected.
Although the Waldney Forest Theatre was not full, it was still nearly half full.
It's worth noting that the Valdéni Forest Theatre can hold 22,000 people, and even when it's half full, there are still over 10,000 people.
Besides the majority of overseas Chinese, there are also a considerable number of foreigners.
It was quite unexpected for Liang Liang that foreigners would come here to watch their performance instead of watching the game.
This is a bit unbelievable.
Foreigners seem to care more about football than their ancestors, and it's quite remarkable that they can focus on art instead of football during the European Championship.
This suggests that Europeans were still interested in Chinese culture.
The German side originally wanted to arrange a host or something, but Liang Liang felt that it would be difficult to explain things to a stranger, so she refused. She thought it would be better to have Hannah and Mia act as guests.
Hannah and Mia, dressed up beautifully, went on stage. First, they spoke in some incomprehensible gibberish, and then announced the first program in both German and Chinese.
According to the performance order, the first program was four songs performed by the Night Sky Band.
The Night Sky Band is not Huang Jie's band; it's a hybrid of the Night Sky and Cold Window Bands.
The lead guitarist of the Night Sky band returned home for his father's funeral after his father passed away.
The drummer of the Hanchuang band got appendicitis and had his appendix removed at home.
A band is missing a member.
Liang Liang simply put the remaining members of his two bands together temporarily and brought them to Germany.
Of the four songs they performed, two were by the Night Sky Band and two were by the Cold Window Band.
These are all representative works of their band.
Their performance put the bewildered Chinese audience at the concert at ease, giving them some understanding of the music from the Far East.
The second band to take the stage was Mayday.
Mayday performed songs from their second album that originated in Korea, songs that are entirely in the style that Westerners like, which really got the atmosphere going.
When the Sea Waves band took the stage and played "Don't Be Lonely," the Valdney Forest Theatre erupted in cheers.
The Sea Waves band performed three of their signature songs in one go.
This was the band's last performance.
After returning to China following this performance, the Sea Waves band will disband.
Zhang Hualanzhi will go home to get married, and Ming Hongling will also leave the band to help her boyfriend manage his business.
The Sea Waves band will be reunited.
Xiaoqian, Xiaoyao, and Xumei will undergo training under the gold-digging wives and then appear as a singing and dancing group.
After the Waves band finished their last song, the applause at the Valdney Forest Theatre lasted for a long time.
The audience didn't care whether their songs were rock or not; they just liked them.
After the performance by Ocean Waves, the Black Panther band took the stage.
The first song they sang was "Light of Hope".
No matter where they perform, this song is a must-sing for them; it's considered one of their signature songs.
Although the rap part in this song is different from Western R&B, it still hits the mark with Westerners, earning the song a thunderous applause.
After the Black Panther band finished their performance, a band that surprised the audience appeared.
Pumpkin Shredded Pork Band.
Liang Liang kept his promise and let them appear later.
At this time, however, the Pumpkin Shredded Meat band was not very well-known, and apart from their die-hard fans, not many locals in Berlin knew about them.
Their defining characteristic is their frenzied shouting and screaming, especially the lead singer's heart-wrenching screams, which directly hit the soft spot for foreigners.
After they finished singing their two songs, everyone in the theater remembered them.
Some of the women in the audience were so excited that they took off their tops and flung them around without any restraint, not even afraid of them flying off.
This left many members of the delegation dumbfounded.
Foreigners are so open-minded!
Liang Liang didn't have time to look at the bread the foreign woman was throwing around. He was watching the live football broadcast on TV. Although he already knew the result, he still felt more at ease watching it.
This was a rare and resounding victory for the Three Lions on the world stage.
The opponent is the very strong Dutch team.
The Netherlands and Belgium are two peculiar teams in European football. It seems like they wouldn't be themselves if they didn't cause some internal strife during major tournaments.
However, the other European teams weren't much better; they were all the same.
This is also why Europe has more and more developed countries.
In this match, the Surinamese players on the Dutch team clashed with the white players again.
Their infighting escalated to a point where it wasn't just verbal abuse; it involved real physical violence, including the use of weapons.
The legend of the Three-Stick King is not a fabrication.
The famous Peter Pan was later beaten up by more than a dozen teammates in the locker room, while others applauded and cheered.
Meanwhile, the team's other two big names, Van Persie and Sneijder, were watching the spectacle from the sidelines.
This brawl resulted in Peter Pan having an extra iron rod in his locker.
This is why the Netherlands team, despite its strong performance, rarely wins major international tournaments.
Few people will likely investigate what happened within the Dutch team in the match Liang Liang bet on.
Anyway, they either fight among themselves or find fault with the coach; they always try to find something to defeat themselves.
In Liang Liang's view, their internal strife was the most correct course of action.
How could they have lost to England by such a large margin without internal strife? How could Liang Liang have won $800,000 if they hadn't lost to England by such a large margin?
Therefore, their infighting is to be expected.
Liang Liang hoped that they would fight amongst themselves for generations to come.
After confirming that he had won 800,000 yuan, Liang Liang began preparing to go on stage.
