1412. The Time Is Coming (3/5)
The last two races were the most exciting, and the fourth was the alpaca race. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Alpacas run very well, they have a lot of stamina, a calm temperament or a cute temperament, you don't need to wear an eye patch, and they regurgitate there when you come out and the fire is raging around you.
The fifth race was a senior race, and the knights were all senior students and rode Icelandic horses, which was already close to a regular race.
These two races brought the event to a climax, especially in the final Icelandic horse race, where the teenagers behaved like regular jockeys, starting, accelerating, sprinting, and doing their best in all stages.
At the end of the five games, the time was also twelve o'clock, and the spectators left the stadium one after another, led by the police and security guards.
In the end, there was only a count of funds, and the gambling funds raised in this game were about 6.8 million, and in the end, after removing the losses, nearly 4 million remained.
Seeing this result, Wang Bo was taken aback and said, "So amazing?!" How could there be so much money in the end? ”
"If it weren't for the high payout ratio that we left for these horses, we could have made more money." "In gambling, it's always the bookmaker who makes the money. ”
Indeed, the odds of these horses are very high, many horses are one to four to five odds, you must know that now the local tyrant gold to participate in the competition, the odds are only a few odds.
This horse racing is different from ordinary horse racing, because the public does not know about jockeys and participating horses, so they can only bet blindly.
There is only one winner for the ten horses, and in terms of probability, only one out of ten bettors will get the payout.
If this is not a charity game, then the betting amount will not be so high, this time many people are here to join in the fun, casually bet dozens of yuan, they are equivalent to donations.
Adding the ticket and peripheral income, in the end, the total income brought by this game is about 4.5 million.
Wang Bo, together with the Sunset Group, Oakley and others, raised some more money, collected the whole number of five million, and donated it to the IKEA Foundation and the Red Cross.
To this end, the Red Cross held a press conference in Sunset Town to thank Lori and other children for their dedication to charity activities.
Although there were 50 children in total, in fact, the elementary and middle schools in Sunset Town contributed to the competition, and the other children did not participate directly, but performed or volunteered to serve on the spot.
Therefore, the press conference was held as if it were a school assembly, with all the children present, and Lori and several winners became representatives and took the stage to accept the thanks of the Foundation and Red Cross officials.
The New Zealand Parliament and the National Aid Centre were sent to attend the press conference, as were a number of prominent international media.
The biggest card is that "Time" magazine has reporters arrived, and this issue of the magazine will report on it, and Lao Wang was stunned when he saw their work cards.
Sunset has been reported by many famous media outlets, and it is not the first time that it has been linked to the level of Time magazine.
However, you must know that this is "Time", Sunset Town used to be on this level of media because of tourism news, but this time it is landed on humanities and education, and the nature is completely different.
Wang Bo specially found a room to arrange an exclusive interview with them, and the reporter smiled: "One room is too small, because we want to take a group photo for the children of this event, and they will be on the cover of our magazine." ”
This stunned Wang, and he asked, "Can this charity event be on the cover of Time Magazine?" Oh my God, I heard you right! ”
The reporter nodded: "This is not an ordinary charity event, this is an event organized by your children, our magazine believes that this is the most pure and immaculate event ever, the children simply want to help those poor people, this is a great idea and action." ”
Lao Wang also nodded: "You are right, the children are doing so well, especially a girl named Jin Dai'er, you must already know that she came up with this idea." She also did a lot of work during the event. ”
After all, his own family, he has to hurry up to find a good cover position for little Lori.
In this event, Xiao Lori has a high exposure rate, and many media mentioned her when they reported the event before.
There was also an interview with Wang Bo, mainly asking him about his experience in charity activities and children's education, the former Lao Wang could cope, and the latter he pulled his daughter-in-law out again.
So it became a reporter's interview with Eva, and Lao Wang sat next to him to add two sentences, Eva's polite attitude and mouthful introduction were obviously more in line with the reporter's requirements.
In the afternoon, the photographer of Time magazine took pictures of the children.
Wang Bo cooperated very well to help choose the central square as the background, there are too many children, only the square can be rolled out.
The cover photo of Time could not have been taken casually, although they only sent one reporter, but the team of photographers was five people, and they drove a camera car.
Little Lori was placed in the middle, and fifty little knights, all dressed in racing suits, scattered among the student ranks, and then completed the photoshoot.
In the evening, Wang Bo held a party for the children, and hundreds of children followed their parents to participate, and the scene was extremely lively.
The youngest son of Somali immigrant Suradi also took part in the horse race, riding an alpaca and winning first place.
Therefore, at the beginning of the party, Suradi specially brought his youngest son to Wang Bo to thank him: "Thank you so much, Mayor, I heard that Valvelli will appear in Time magazine, it is really a dream." ”
Wang Bo shrugged and said, "This is what the children deserve, you don't have to thank me, Valvelli did a great job, and his ability to control alpacas is great." ”
The thin black boy said excitedly: "Mayor, I like alpacas, I like cattle and sheep, and I also like pasture, I will be admitted to Lincoln University in the future, and then I will work on your ranch." ”
Wang Bo smiled: "Of course I welcome it very much. ”
After he finished speaking, he tasted it and added: "You don't need to thank me so much, I feel as if I have become a medieval aristocratic lord, you are my tenant farmers, haha." ”
"Of course you're not a nobleman, you're the best mayor of the town, and I'm so proud of Valvili, this kid is helping the weak, and we've been treated as weak before. ”
As he spoke, he almost burst into tears.
Lao Wang felt quite embarrassed, so he quickly hugged him and patted him on the back and said, "Valvelli will do more things to make you proud of in the future, he is an excellent child." ”
The black boy puffed out his chest, his face full of confidence that his father had never had.
