Chapter 102: Once famous
The people watching the game in the auditorium were far away from the contestants, so they also watched the live TV broadcast, and they could see it more clearly on the TV, and when they heard that Zheng Xudong bet that he won 30 million bets, they all felt that this person was a madman.
In order to play fairly, MGM Casino invited an international referee for an archery competition.
The referee announced that the order of the game was carried out from high to low odds, that is, starting with Zheng Xudong and ending with Baker. Each person shoots ten arrows, each arrow interval is no more than 30 seconds, and finally the total number of rings determines who is the first place, because Zheng Xudong only has five arrows for the competition, so after he throws five arrows, he will immediately retrieve and continue to throw five, and each time it does not exceed 30 seconds.
The referee saw that everyone had no objections, and then the betting had stopped, so he asked Zheng Xudong to stand on the field of the game, and when he stood up, the referee blew the whistle for the game, prompting him to throw an arrow within 30 seconds.
Zheng Xudong stood up and looked at the target fifty meters away, the target with a diameter of eighty centimeters was still very big in his eyes, he didn't hesitate to grab an arrow and throw it out, the other players and referees waiting for the game behind him could hear the wind driven by the arrow, "Whoosh!", and heard the distant "Wow!" The audience saw on the TV screen that the arrow hit the bull's-eye, not where the tenth ring and the ninth ring intersected, but just on the black spot in the bull's-eye, and they all gasped.
But before they had time to be surprised, they saw that Zheng Xudong didn't wait for thirty seconds at all, but quickly threw another arrow, the arrow just nailed to the target, and threw another, another one, and after the five arrows were thrown, the staff quickly pulled out the arrow and sent it back to the referee, and the referee handed it to him.
Zheng Xudong was faster this time, and when the first arrow had not yet reached the target, his second arrow had already been thrown, five arrows in a row, and it was completed in five seconds. After ejaculating, he turned back to his seat, took out a cigar and lit himself to wait for the result.
The audience both live and in front of the TV was dumbfounded. Is this still a special human being? First of all, ten arrows in a row are thrown fifty meters, and the arrows hit the bull's-eye. The scene was silent.
The staff took the target back and handed it to the referee, and the referee was dumbfounded, he had never seen such a target, and the nine small dots were all concentrated around the black dot in the bull's-eye, and the black dot in the center of the small dot was in the middle.
The referee thought to himself, "How is this going to make the other players compete!" and he laid the target paper in front of the TV camera so that the national television audience could see it clearly, and set it aside. He whispered to the TV camera: "According to the rules of the competition, you have to report the target, but I believe everyone has seen it, in order not to affect the competition of several other players and not to cause too much pressure on them, I decided to wait until the whole competition is over before reporting the target." ”
He motioned to the second contestant, Jelina, to start preparing, Gerina took out her bow and arrows for the competition, stood on the playing field, heard the whistle to start the game, and drew the first arrow, "Whoosh!!" She didn't look at the results, and directly began to shoot the second and third...
After ejaculating, she returned to her seat, Zheng Xudong politely handed her a cigar and asked her if she wanted to take a sip, but she didn't expect Jelina to really smoke, Zheng Xudong personally lit it for her, and the two sat there and smoked.
The staff took the target back and handed it to the referee, and the referee saw that all the arrows were shot within ten rings, but they were not very even, and they were far from the black spot in the middle, which was obviously inferior to Zheng Xudong, so he showed the target to the TV again and put it aside.
Because the referee did not report the target, all the players did not know the result, whether they had finished shooting or had not shot. If you don't know, you can relax the game.
Toby is a good example, he didn't know that he had already shot the best result of his life today, and he never shot like this again.
Similarly, after he finished ejaculating, Zheng Xudong also handed over a cigar, but he didn't expect this guy to politely signal him to smoke it too, but Zheng Xudong handed him the lighter and cigar cutter, "Get it yourself!"
In this way, Zheng Xudong handed a cigar to a contestant after each competition, and Antonia, a woman, also smoked it, and she also "got it herself!" Not to mention that people are quite skilled.
Then Carter and Baker were not polite, of course they were both "do it yourself!"
When Toby finished the game, Zheng Xudong simply asked the waiter to open a bottle of French Romanée Conti red wine worth $200,000 and put it on his account.
He only poured a glass for Jelena herself, and then poured a glass for himself, and after the rest of the contestants finished the game, he took the decanter and signaled to drink, "Get it yourself!" And these guys are really not polite.
The students and the audience in front of the TV were dumbfounded, is this a gambling, can't it be the teammates of the archery team partying, who have seen the archers smoking cigars and drinking red wine, or the special Romani Conti.
After everyone finished the game, Zheng Xudong did not rush to let the referee announce the results, but also handed him a cigar and a glass of red wine, and several people simply sat in a circle.
The audience in front of the TV is going crazy, this is the most live TV game in the history of the United States, and it is still gambling.
The referee took a few puffs of cigars and reveled in the red wine for a while, then drank the red wine in the glass before taking out the target papers of several players.
He didn't report the target, but first showed Zheng Xudong's target to the other players, and when the other five people saw the target, they all knew that they had lost, but they still wanted to see how many of their results could rank among the six.
After reading all the results, they unanimously agreed that Zheng Xudong was first, and the little-known Jelena was ranked second, Baker was third, Antonia was fourth, Carter was fifth, and Toby was unfortunately ranked last among these people, but he couldn't say anything, the results were there, there were so many people on the scene, and the audience in front of the TV, he didn't dare to play tricks if he wanted to, it would bring disaster to his family, and it was not a matter of a five-million-dollar bet.
Since only one champion was needed, the referee stood up and announced to the casino staff and the audience in front of the TV that "Zheng Xudong won the first place in this competition!" after speaking, he turned to Zheng Xudong and shook hands with him. And said to him: "I really hope to see you in the ring soon." "Thank you!"
Zheng Xudong accepted the congratulations of the other players, and at this time, even Toby pinched his nose and had to go through the motions to congratulate him.
Jerina was the last to come to him, she didn't stretch out her hand but directly hugged Zheng Xudong, and tiptoed to kiss him on the face, and whispered: "Work hard, I am waiting for you in front of the future!"
Zheng Xudong didn't understand the meaning of her words, but he still thanked her.
Then he was asked by the TV reporters to pick up his target and take a picture of him, he took the target paper from the referee's hand and then stood two meters away from the yellow line for the reporters of the major TV stations to take pictures.
Like a superstar on the red carpet, standing there with a POSE gaze from left to right, and then from right to left.
After taking the photo, he put away the target paper and returned to the students, when the casino staff came to his side and signaled that he had something to talk about alone, and Zheng Xudong and the staff came to a no-man's corner.
"Mr. Zheng, we learned that you won 14 million in a drinking competition today, 28 million in a poker game, 20.9 million in the second time, and just now you won 105 million with a personal bet of 30 million in an archery competition, and 25 million with five other players," the staff member said. You have won a total of $178.9 million today. The cash proceeds from gambling with Tom's charlatan are not counted. In order to thank you for your great assistance in this archery competition, MGM Casino said that as long as you pay a part of the income that is 18.9 million to us, our casino will issue you a legal certificate of all the income, and the rest of our casino will find a way to solve it. ”
Zheng Xudong heard the words of the casino staff and knew that he had made so much money today, and even he didn't expect it. But he knows that gambling income is taxed, and it is very high (the author checked a lot of information and did not find out what the gambling tax rate is, some people say the lowest 30%, so I will not write it here), and because of the good relationship with MGM Casino, so people are willing to make a certain return, it seems that people will still do business, so he said: "Okay, thank you hotel manager for me, I received his kindness, and I will go to your hotel if I have the opportunity to go to Las Vegas in the future." ”
"Okay, we'll transfer the tax bill and money to your account in a moment, and here is a platinum card for our hotel customers, you have become a VIP customer of our MGM Hotels, so you are also welcome to stay in our hotel or the chain hotels of the group, and you can enjoy the treatment of platinum customers." Congratulations again on your victory!" After speaking, he shook Zheng Xudong's hand and left.
Zheng Xudong returned to the beautiful woman, Zhou Lan hugged him when he saw him, and said, "Boss, thank you!
Zheng Xudong looked puzzled, and then Zhao Shanshan said next to him: "We bet on you to win in the archery competition, this girl is crazy, and she bet all 3.8 million to win today, and I bet 500,000 when I was timid, but you won the game, and we all got rich!" After speaking, this reserved girl also laughed. And Zhou Lan kissed him on the face, and a pink lip gloss was printed on his face.
Zheng Xudong pushed Zhou Lan, the Lan girl, away, "You see that there is a little brother who kisses the boss on the face at every turn, next time I do this, I will clean up the portal." Hmph!"
Zhou Lan was not afraid of him, and said directly: "Hmph! You have to sell it cheaply! Next time, you want me to kiss it!"
Zheng Xudong looked at Han Min'er and said, "How much have you bet?"
Han Min'er said regretfully: "Don't mention it, I only bet 1 million, it's not as bold as Sister Zhou Lan!
Zheng Xujiang smiled and said, "That's also 3.5 million! Seeing her aggrieved expression gradually dissipate, "Is there any other program down there?" If not, I'm going back." ”
Han Min'er said: "There are no big activities, now they are all better to be together in a small area, and some people have already started to leave, I have nothing to do, why don't we go together?"
Zheng Xudong said: "Okay, I can take your car, and I will say hello to the two sisters." He turned to Zhou Lan and Han Min'er and said, "I'm going back, you guys have some fun, goodbye!"
The two cousins were a little reluctant to part with him, and before leaving, Zhou Lan asked for his phone and asked him to call her when he returned to China.
Zheng Xudong didn't see Jelena, so he didn't say goodbye to her, so he got in the car with Han Min'er and drove to the hotel.
