Chapter 281: The World Gambling Championship opens

Fang Dalei's answer greatly surprised Old Man Hua, but it was within Sun Xudong's expectations, if Fang Dalei didn't answer like this, Sun Xudong would feel strange.

Through so many days of contact and understanding, Sun Xudong knows that Fang Dalei is a person who does his best in everything, and since he agreed to participate in the competition, his goal must be to be the champion.

Sun Xudong happily clapped his hands and said to the other party: "Master, it's all up to you this time, if you have any requirements, just mention it, as long as I can do it." ”

"Just get me ready with flowers and applause!" Fang Dalei said confidently, after speaking, he turned to Old Man Hua and said, "Old man, you have to work hard tomorrow, let's fight side by side!" ”

In the past few days, Mr. Hua and Fang Dalei are also very familiar with each other, he is amazed by Fang Dalei's skills, and he also likes Fang Dalei's straightforward temperament, after listening to Fang Dalei's words, he laughed and said: "Okay! In this competition, my old man will give up his life to accompany the gentleman, and when the time comes, we will take care of each other and advance together! ”

At nine o'clock the next morning, the 30th World Championship officially kicked off at the MGM Casino Hall.

As it coincided with the 30th anniversary, the competition was extremely grand, not only with a record 128 contestants, but also with the world's leading media invited to the opening ceremony for the first time.

Of course, when the game is played later, these media will not be able to broadcast live, and the only media with the right to broadcast is the US imperialist's FOX, FOX bought out the exclusive live broadcast right of the game for $30 million.

The $30 million MGM casino and the World Gambling Association are half of the family, and there are also some income such as advertising sponsorship, in short, although MGM submitted a large amount of bidding fees to the World Gambling Association, but only the TV broadcast fees and advertising costs, Sun Xudong can earn back the bidding fees.

In addition, the holding of the competition has also added a lot of intangible assets to MGM. At least in the days before and after the start of the game, MGM received more than 50 percent more visitors and gamblers than usual, much to the pain and joy of Jonathan, the casino's manager.

The happy thing is that MGM's income has increased, and his year-end dividend will naturally increase accordingly, but the pain is that there are so many more people at once, and the hotel's service must keep up, otherwise it will be complained about, and the previous efforts will be in vain.

Fortunately, everything is still going well, which makes the senior management of MGM, including Sun Xudong and Jonathan, very satisfied. It depends on the performance of Fang Dalei and Old Man Hua in the competition.

The opening ceremony at 9 o'clock was held in the lobby on the first floor of MGM's casino, and the first person to speak was Mr. Abigail, president of the World Gambling Association.

Abigail is an old man in his seventies, he is British, he is said to be a veteran nobleman in Britain, he likes to gamble since he was a child, his family is quite rich, and he lives in ancient castles.

Abigail's speech was not very long, and he began by praising MGM's boss Sun Xudong, saying that Sun Xudong was very well prepared before the game. Let the players have a good competition environment. The next thing is to say some words of encouragement, hoping that the contestants will compete in style and strive for good results.

What he said was all clichés, official words. Nothing substantial.

Of course, in this case, the speeches of such people are all prepared, and it is unlikely that you will get some powerful information from their mouths.

After Abigail's speech. Sun Xudong spoke on behalf of the casino, and the main content of Sun Xudong's speech was to promise that when the competition was held, he would try his best to provide various conveniences to the players and protect the interests of the players.

At the same time, he also gave himself a soft advertisement for MGM without a trace. By the way, I cheered up Fang Dalei and Old Man Hua.

After Sun Xudong finished speaking, he was let by the French who were the last gambling king? Pierre went up to speak. Let? Pierre is sponsored by a casino in Monaco, currently recognized as the world's gambling king, unfathomable strength, his best point is that he is good at stealing chickens in stud games, the problem is that no one can see when he steals chickens, but when he sometimes has a big hand, others will think he is stealing chickens.

Let? Pierre's speech was even briefer, he just said some words of thanks, such as thanking the organizing committee, thanking MGM, and the last sentence caused an uproar at the scene: "I was the champion and the king of gambling in the last competition, and I hope I still have good luck in this competition and can continue to win the title of king of gambling!" ”

Most of the people who can come to participate in this competition are the best in the gambling world, all of them are arrogant masters, and no one will obey anyone, especially the old Maozi Shamanrov, who ranked second in the last competition, and Harris, the American imperialist who ranked third, were even more dissatisfied with his speech, and they all stared at Jean with a hostile eye. Pierre look.

Before the game even started, the casino hall was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Maybe that's why Abigail asked Pierre to speak, since it's a game, it definitely needs to create some hot spots and conflicts, and a game that's too bland has no attention.

Now, let? Pierre's speech made the atmosphere of the game that had not yet started suddenly become hot, which was more in line with the interests of the World Gambling Association.

Fang Dalei for Jean? Pierre's words are nothing, it can be said that he is too strong, and he doesn't care much about his opponents, in his opinion, among the more than 100 players on the scene, the top three players may be the ones who can cause him a little trouble, but it is only to cause a little trouble.

After all, dragons don't care about ants.

No matter how powerful these gambling kings or gambling king candidates are, they are just ordinary people, and even if this cultivator is not a professional gambler, they have no chance of winning.

Fang Dalei suddenly felt a little bored at this time, the opening ceremony of the World Gambling Championship was almost the same as that of the Olympic Games, the president said after the organizer, and the organizer said that the player representative said that it was all a mold.

Just when Fang Dalei was bored drinking red wine, he suddenly noticed something different, that is, he seemed to have found something unusual in the top three players.

After discovering the problem, Fang Dalei released his divine sense and carefully probed the bodies of the three people.

When his divine consciousness was withdrawn, the corners of Fang Dalei's mouth curled slightly, and he smiled and said softly: "It turns out that this is like this, it's really interesting, it seems that this competition will not be so simple, but this is not better, I like challenging things the most!"
