Chapter 101: Live TV

When Zheng Xudong and Toby were fighting wits and courage, Zheng Xudong's phone rang.

As soon as he saw that it was Ivanka calling, he came to Han Min'er's side, "Give me the car keys, and I'll go to the car to get the arrow." ”

I picked up the phone as I walked out with the key, "Hey, honey, did you miss me? I miss you!"

Ivanka's gentle voice came from the other side of the phone, "I heard that you are quite capable of tossing at my alma mater, Wharton!"

Zheng Xudong said in surprise: "My dear, how do you know?

"Hah。。。 You may not know it, but I just saw a video of a student on the Internet, and you're doing amazing! You're an American celebrity now. ”

"Ahh

"yes, I was told by a girlfriend of mine, who is the manager of ABC TV in New York, and wants to do an interview with you and ask me to do her work, what do you mean? If you don't want to do it, I'll get back to her. ”

"It's not that I don't want to do it, it's just that I'm not ready to become famous so soon, I wanted to live a low-key life, I'm afraid that being too high-profile will have a bad impact on you. ”

When Ivanka heard Zheng Xudong's words, she was very moved in her heart and said, "My dear, you don't have to worry about our development, I will take care of it." Today's world is an era of flamboyant personality, if you have strength, you should show it, it will be good for your future development. What do you say?"

"Okay, about the TV media interview, then please arrange it, preferably in the next few days, I may have to end the trip and return home. ”

"Okay, I'll send Lawyer Sean over to help you, if there's anything else you can do with Lawyer Sean to deal with, he'll definitely satisfy you." ”

"Thank you, dear, can I see you again before I go?"

"I'M GOING TO SEE YOU OFF BEFORE I go, i miss you too, bye bye!"

Zheng Xudong hung up the phone and came to the golf cart in the parking lot, symbolically took out the heavy arrow used in the bar from the trunk of the car, and was about to walk back when the phone rang again.

He picked up the phone, "Hello, I'm Andrew, the manager of MGM Hotels, you stayed at our hotel a few days ago, are you still satisfied with our service?"

Zheng Xudong thought to himself, "Is it enough to use a hotel manager for a phone call?" but he replied anyway: "I'm very satisfied! Is there anything else? I'm going to participate in a competition soon, and I may not have time to talk to you for a long time." ”

The manager hurriedly said: "Mr. Zheng, our hotel just wants to talk to you about your next game, I hope you can authorize your game periphery to be handed over to our casino, and we will have a very preferential policy for you." ”

"Manager Andrew, I don't know much about this, but you can call my lawyer, can you talk to him, my lawyer's phone number is... With that, he hung up the phone.

"Alas, it seems that the previously peaceful life has come to an end. Zheng Xudong said helplessly.

When I returned to the auditorium, I saw a lot of TV station broadcasting equipment, and a large number of reporters were interviewing the students who had just participated in the competition.

When the reporters saw him coming in, they immediately gathered around him and wanted to interview him, and he quickly said: "I'm sorry! Fellow journalists, I am about to have a competition and will not accept any interviews." Thank you!" After speaking, he pushed away a large number of reporters and walked among the students.

It seems that the Wharton School is still very well prepared, they pulled up a yellow line, reporters can only take pictures and interviews outside the yellow line, and are not allowed to cross the line to disturb the college's graduation party, otherwise they will be invited out by the security guards. The regular media and reporters in the United States are still very well-behaved, and they are strictly outside the yellow line.

At this time, a beautiful woman among the reporters suddenly shouted: "Mr. Zheng, I am from ABC TV." ”

Everyone was about to laugh at this reporter, thinking about which TV station you have to do with him, when they suddenly saw Zheng Xudong turn his head and walk back.

The ABC TV reporter raised his head at his peers around him, "Huh!" and thought to himself, "You can't do it, it doesn't mean that this girl can't do it either." ”

The reporters of the various TV stations around thought to themselves that this would be okay, I knew that we would also shout it, but it didn't matter that it was not too late to shout now, and the names of all the TV stations in the United States immediately sounded in the field.

Zheng Xudong walked to the yellow line, stretched out his hand and waved twice, and everyone quieted down, "I have an agreement with ABC TV." After saying that, he walked directly to the reporter.

The ABC TV reporter thought to himself that they were still on a good relationship, and Miss Ivanka must have called. She saw the big boy come to her, "You remember the phone, this is the lawyer my friend arranged for me, my itinerary is in charge of him, I agree to your interview in principle, you can contact my lawyer at the specific time, his phone number is... With that, he turned and walked towards the playing field.

If there is a world in the world that has a more sensitive ear than a journalist, I believe that there are only animals. They quickly wrote down the phone number that Zheng Xudong said, and then began to call Taili one after another.

Zheng Xudong actually did this on purpose, so that he could divert everyone's attention from him and let them torture Sean! Quickly draw a cross in his heart: "Comrade Sean, you have worked hard!"

He smiled and returned to the crowd of beautiful women, and Zhou Lan ran over when he saw him come back and said, "Boss, why have you been there for so long! Let's go, the game is about to begin. ”

"Hehe! You seem to be in a better hurry than me!"

"I want to see your archery style, cousin. She pulled Zhao Shanshan in.

Zhao Shanshan smiled and did not squeak. Han Min'er came to Zheng Xudong's side and said: " Just now my little sisters came to tell me that there are a few archery masters who have come to challenge you tonight, including Baker, who came from New York, who is a member of the American archery team, who represented the American team in the 2008 Olympic Games held in your China, and achieved an eighth place, and Carter, who is a student at Philadelphia University and a member of the current American archery team, who has been more outstanding than Carter in the last two years, but it also depends on the live competition, and Antonia, who came from New York, is a student at Columbia University, and participated in the archery competition at the American Games last year, and won the third place in the women's game, the rest is Toby of the college, his archery level is also very high, he once won the fifth place in the archery competition of the United States University Games that just ended this year, and the last one you must be surprised, she is Jelena, didn't you notice that she is not here!"

"I just found out she wasn't here, but I don't think anyone needs to follow us, do you?"

Han Min'er didn't answer his question, but said to him: "Actually, among these people who are competing with you, I am most worried about her, she has never competed outside, but I have played a friendly match with her, and I lost at that time. So the person you have to watch out for the most is her. The most important point is that except for Jelena, everyone else used to participate in the competition for money, and today I heard that there is such a huge tournament prize here, so I came here to make money. Just like you!Hmph! Money Addict!"

As they spoke, they came to the auditorium, which was actually one end of the auditorium, which was relatively close to the press area just now, which was convenient for them to shoot and watch, but they did not accept interviews during the game.

When he arrived, the others were already here to prepare for the game, and since it was Toby who had made the $5 million bet, the people in the room would have to come up with $5 million to play, which they all seemed to know before they came.

At this time, a waiter brought a POSE machine and asked Zheng Xudong to swipe the bet in, and Zheng Xudong took out the card and swiped five million US dollars.

At this time, Toby walked over, "Huaxia boy, I'll introduce you to the players who will participate in the game for a while, you have to be mentally prepared, don't scare you." ”

He introduced him to the few people that Han Min'er introduced to him just now, and through the introduction, Zheng Xudong told him about his bet with Toby, he can only throw arrows, not archery, if someone does not recognize his archery throwing results, then don't compare. In the end, everyone said that it depends on the number of rings in the game, and the number of rings determines the winner or loser. Because everyone was running for money, and it wasn't a friendly match, they didn't be polite to each other, and they all sat in their seats.

At this time, the academy installed a 60-inch LCD TV next to the competition venue, which showed the outside bets made by MGM Casino for the game, and several other people were not high because they were well-known at home and abroad, Baker was 1:1.5, Carter was 1:1.7, Antonia was 1:1.8, Toby was not well-known 1:2.0, and Jelena was 1 because she had never participated in the game: 2.5, and Zheng Xudong is even more to use his hands to throw arrows, he has no one in the United States except for drinking and performing a magic trick just now, and drinking just now is also his minus, no one has ever heard of archery after participating in two drinking competitions. Last but not least, today's competition was held at a distance of 50 meters (both men and women in international competitions) due to the limitations of the venue (auditorium) and gender, so everyone doubted that Zheng Xudong would be able to throw an arrow 50 meters away. It's not like a javelin, just throw it far, it's about throwing it at the target, and the arrow is very light, very difficult, almost impossible. In the end, the casino set him odds of 3.5.

After everyone saw that MGM Casino gave the odds, everyone's avatar was followed by a short introduction of personal results, and then the amount of bets had been bet, the casino stipulated that the betting would stop at nine o'clock in the evening, that is, the game would start, and there were still five minutes left, and the bets on Baker, Carter, and Antonia had exceeded 200 million US dollars, with a difference of one or twenty million per person, while Toby bet less than 100 million US dollars, only 10 million, Jelena 30 million, and Zheng Xudong more than 8 million.

Zheng Xudong estimated that Han Miner bet some bets on himself to win, and the others may simply want to bet on him, the big dark horse.

Zheng Xudong beckoned to the on-site staff of MGM Casino, "I want to vote for myself to win, is it okay?"

"Yes. How much do you bet?" asked the staff.

"Three million dollars. ”

"Wait a minute, I'm going to ask HQ. It was only a moment before the staff told him, "You can place a bet." ”

Zheng Xudong took out his bank card and handed it to the casino staff: "Help me win $30 million by myself." ”

His voice was not small, and the other five players next to him and the reporters and cameras of the major TV stations that had been broadcasting live next to him were all filmed, and these reporters began to make cameo commentaries on the spot, and there was no way to stop us from interviewing us, and we couldn't stand and not speak, so they took out the quality of a sports commentator, and when they heard that this Chinese kid had bet 30 million US dollars on themselves, they reported this information through live TV.
