Chapter 369
Lin Chuan didn't wait long.
Ten minutes later, there was a commotion on the second floor of the hall.
Then, as the crowd on the second floor stood up to greet them, a group of well-dressed men, women, old and young, who were obviously of high status, came to the podium and VIP seats.
Lin Chuan glanced casually.
He found that he was familiar with several of these people.
After some shoving and pushing.
A short and fat middle-aged man was recommended to sit in the main seat.
Mr. Jin!
Combining the information in his mind.
Lin Chuan quickly recognized the identity of the middle-aged man.
As the actual owner of the villa and the organizer of the previous gambling king competitions, only Mr. Jin could sit in that position as a matter of course. Others, no matter how high their status, were not suitable to sit in the main seat.
Wait until the distinguished guests on the second floor are seated.
A graceful female MC in a blue and white porcelain cheongsam came out, holding the microphone and said softly: "Hello, everyone. I am Li Xueruo. On behalf of President Jin, I would like to welcome all the distinguished guests to participate in the Guangzhou Gambling King Competition."
"The Gambling King Competition has been reported for more than ten sessions!"
"This Gambling King Competition has the largest number of participants in history!"
"We received more than a thousand applications from all over the world. After the recommendation and review of the casinos, we have determined the preliminary places for 64 people and a seeded player who will directly participate in the quarterfinals!"
"Seeded players?"
"What is that?!"
"Can I understand it as a backdoor?!"
Hearing Li Xueruo's words, the contestants who were sitting and waiting like Lin Chuan on the sidelines began to make noises of dissatisfaction. Seeded players have never appeared in the previous Guangzhou Gambling King Competition.
More importantly.
There are seeded players who directly participate in the quarterfinals.
This means that the number of places for the contestants who will compete for the preliminary round starting from the top 64 will be reduced directly, which is not good news for the contestants present.
You know.
In order to encourage the contestants to participate enthusiastically.
All the contestants who enter the top eight will be given a generous reward by the organizers regardless of winning or losing. The top eight will receive a reward of 10 million, the top four will double it to 20 million, the third place will be 30 million, and the runner-up will be 40 million.
If someone directly participates in the top eight, it means that some of the preliminary contestants present will lose the reward.
"Everyone!"
Li Xueruo seemed to have expected this reaction.
"I understand your concerns!"
"But please listen to me. Seeded players who directly participate in the quarterfinals will not share the rewards that originally belonged to the quarterfinals. Players who are squeezed out of the quarterfinals will still get their own rewards as in previous years!"
"As for the issue of fairness..."
At this point, Li Xueruo smiled and said, "You should understand that there is no so-called absolute fairness in many things. You think it is unfair for someone to directly become a seeded player, but for this seeded player, participating in the preliminary round is also unfair to them."
"For example... Mr. Chen John from Lisboa!"
"Fuck!"
"The big guy who almost became the gambling king!"
"My idol!"
"I want his autograph!"
"Oh my god, this big guy comes here, isn't it a full-level big guy slaughtering the novice village?"
When Li Xueruo mentioned Chen John's name, the contestants and the audience present were shocked. You know, the Guangzhou Gambling King Competition has been held for so many years, but even if you understand the gambling king, it's just self-entertainment.
A dozen gambling kings combined may not be qualified to carry Chen Yuehan's shoes.
"Understood!"
At this time, Li Xueruo held up the headset.
"Everyone!"
"I just received a notice that after Mr. Guo, the vice president of the Yangcheng Chamber of Commerce, learned that Mr. Chen Yuehan participated in the competition, he decided to add 50 million yuan in his personal name as the gambling king's bonus!"
"Mr. Jiang of Yangcheng Chemical decided to add 20 million yuan in his personal name as the gambling king's bonus!"
"Mr. Xu, a director of the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce, decided to add 10 million yuan in his personal name..."
"Lingnan Pharmaceutical...
Accompanied by Li Xueruo's loud propaganda, the gambling king's bonus, which was originally only 100 million, gradually expanded after the big guys added, and finally directly became 300 million.
But the matter is not over yet!
"Wait a minute!"
Li Xueruo seemed to have received some instructions again.
"Everyone! "
Nodding towards the podium, Li Xueruo said excitedly: "Our President Jin is impressed by your enthusiasm, so he decided to add another 200 million to the bonus already added by you big guys!"
"Now, the gambling king's bonus is 500 million!"
"Fuck! 500 million!"
"President Jin is generous! The gambling king is mine, no one can stop me!"
"Gambling king? What are you dreaming about? There is a promise from Chen Yue.Han Zai, you are at most the second place!"
Hearing the 500 million prize, the people present, whether contestants or spectators, were excited, even Chen John's face changed slightly,
500 million prize, is not far from the prize of the gambling king of Lisboa.
Lin Chuan took a deep look at Mr. Jin on the high platform.
Sure enough, none of those who can climb up to the second floor are simple goods.
500 million seems a lot.
But compared with the subsequent benefits, it is not much at all.
Lin Chuan believes that with the news of today's events, Yangcheng will become a gambling mecca for Lingnan and surrounding provinces. As long as everyone thinks of gambling, the first thing they think of is Yangcheng and Mr. Jin's gambling king competition.
500 million.
It is essentially just advertising fees.
What's more.
Mr. Jin only paid 300 million.
"Ahem!"
"Please be quiet! ”
After the noise, Li Xueruo smiled and said, "I know you are all very excited, but please don't get excited, because our game is about to begin. Now, please invite Mr. Guo and Mr. Jiang to draw lots to decide the list of the top 32 players!"
"Mr. Guo!"
"Mr. Jiang!"
"Please, both of you!"
The staff pushed a sealed box in front of Mr. Guo and Mr. Jiang.
The two stood up at the same time and gestured to each other. Then Mr. Guo was in front and Mr. Jiang was behind. One of them took out a number ball from the box and decided the list of the first two players after a long time.
"The first group!"
"Number 7 vs. No. 33!"
"The second group!"
"Number 45 vs. No. 61!"
"The third group..."
With the actions of the two, the list of the top 32 players was quickly drawn.
"Thank you, Mr. Guo!"
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang!"
"Now, please take your seats! "
With Li Xueruo's reminder, including Lin Chuan, 64 contestants stood up and sat down in the seats that had been arranged in the hall. Lin Chuan was No. 11, and his opponent No. 44 was a fat man with glasses.
"Hello!"
The man with glasses stretched out his hand to Lin Chuan a little stiffly.
"Hello!"
Lin Chuan politely returned the greeting.
But he did not choose to shake hands with him.
"Please let the referee in!"
Li Xueruo bowed slightly to the high platform on the second floor, "The referee this time is Mr. Wang from Goldlion Entertainment Center. I believe you all know Mr. Wang's name. He has been the referee of the Gambling King Competition five times. Both professionalism and fairness are guaranteed.
