Chapter Ninety-Seven: Literary Gambling and Martial Gambling

"Hey, Brother Zimo, why are there foreigners here?" Zhang Jiujiu chatted with Xu Zimo for a long time, and the two gradually became familiar with each other, and progressed to the point of calling each other brothers.

As the meeting time drew closer, the pantry gathered more and more people of all kinds, hunchbacked, lame, one-eyed, five-short, and even in wheelchairs. There are also people wearing Tang costumes, some people wearing suits, rough men with beards all over their faces, and cute young girls. It's really varied, and so on.

Although these people have their own characteristics, they all have one characteristic in common, that is, they are all high-spirited, with eyes above the top and no one in their eyes.

The appearance of a few foreigners attracted Zhang Jiujiu's special attention, so he asked.

"You mean these few? These are all representatives of the gambling associations of some small countries. Xu Zimo had some contempt.

"The Cultural Gambling Association? Is there still a martial arts gamble? Zhang Jiujiu heard a new term.

"Well, it's a penny bet and a martial arts bet. Cultural gambling is the traditional sense of dice, mahjong, cards, chess. Martial arts gambling is those competitive categories, such as football, wrestling, black market boxing, etc. Our association is now mainly engaged in gambling. However, martial arts gambling is not impossible, but the proportion is slightly smaller. The core management is said to be expanding the black market boxing business. It is necessary to establish a black market boxing center in Asia and form a situation that is on a par with the black market boxing in the West. Xu Zimo knows everything and says everything, and he has no reservations about Zhang Jiujiu.

Xu Zimo mentioned black market boxing, and Zhang Jiujiu suddenly remembered the drawings he got back today. He remembered that the drawings had a layout similar to the layout of the auditorium and the appearance of the boxing ring, but he didn't have any connection to that at the time. Now that I think about it, those drawings are the blueprints of the Black Market Boxing Center, right?

"The black market boxing stadium you are talking about can't be built in cooperation with the Japanese people, right?" The doubts in Zhang Jiujiu's heart must be clarified.

"How can we have the strength to build the largest black market boxing center in Asia? Doesn't it need the assistance of black market boxing from many countries to do it well? Not only the Wa Kingdom, but also Nanxian, Taikoo, Mago, and Xinguo all participated. Building a black market boxing center not only requires huge funds, but more importantly, fighters, referees, and an advanced and mature operation model. Xu Zimo has also heard some introductions in this regard from the master, and he knows how much he has said.

"It seems that our country will not allow the storage of black market boxing, right?" Zhang Jiujiu was worried about them.

"There are too many things that are not allowed, why don't we do that? The so-called black market boxing, of course, is black. Dog fighting, cockfighting, cricket fighting, what is legal? Isn't it all going on? It's just that the object of the gamble has been replaced by a person. This is not what we should be worried about, and naturally some people will settle the affairs of the official. Xu Zimo was a little proud when he said this.

"When you say that, that's true. As the saying goes, rats have rat roads, and dogs have dog holes. The eight immortals crossed the sea to show their magical powers. After Zhang Jiujiu finished saying the metaphor of the rat and dog, he felt that it was inappropriate, wasn't this scolding to his face, so he added the following words to show his compliment.

Xu Zimo is not a calculating person, he didn't take Zhang Jiujiu's words to heart, just smiled faintly, noncommittal. He also felt inappropriate how he coped.

"That is to say, the Japanese people were also invited to participate in this conference." After Zhang Jiujiu took a sip of tea, he quickly changed the topic.

"Of course, there are representatives of both cultural gambling and martial arts gambling. Moreover, I have heard that the representatives of the Japanese countries who participated in this congress have a great background. Be careful when you encounter them. They were unhappy with the decision to build the Black Market Boxing Center in Middle-earth. I guess I'm going to make trouble this time. If you are targeted by them, you will be unlucky. Xu Zimo kindly reminded.

"The little devil of the Japanese kingdom, dare to make trouble on the territory of Middle-earth? Don't ask me to run into it, if I do, they will regret coming to Middle-earth! Zhang Jiujiu clenched his fists and hammered it on the tea table.

Zhang Jiujiu himself is not a person who is afraid of things, not to mention that there were two incidents last night and noon today, and he is thinking about finding a few Japanese people to vent his anger for He Jin.

"Brother Jiu'er, more is better than less. Harmony is precious, the overall situation is important, and the overall situation is important. Xu Zimo patted Zhang Jiujiu's hand and persuaded.

Xu Zimo was stunned by Zhang Jiujiu. He didn't expect this guy who seemed to be polite and polite to faintly reveal a murderous aura. Xu Zimo felt that the temperature around him had dropped a lot.

The delegates to this congress were invited by the association, and the association had an obligation to protect their safety. If Zhang Jiujiu doesn't open his eyes and kills one by two, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome. Even if he is the apprentice grandson of the former head of the former family, he can't do it.

"Brother Zimo, don't worry, I won't be looking for trouble. If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone. "Zhang Jiujiu's subtext is, they'd better not mess with me, otherwise if someone offends me, I will offend someone!

The two chatted for a while, and the voice of the radio rang out: "The twelfth meeting of all the representatives of the Tonghuan Entertainment Association is about to begin, and representatives of all countries, regions and associations are invited to the main venue." Thank you for your cooperation. ”

The radio was broadcast three times in a row, and one after another delegates left for it.

"Aren't we going over?" Zhang Jiujiu saw that Xu Zimo had no intention of moving at all, so he asked.

"Don't worry, there are still twenty minutes left to leave the meeting, let's take the special channel, we don't have to go to the road with them." Xu Zimo said very proudly in the tone of a master.

Zhang Jiujiu also felt that it was good to know the insiders, and even the procedures of queuing were saved.

"How is this called a congress of delegates? Do we have a lot of members in our association? Zhang Jiujiu is very interested in this name, and the conference he represents has the feeling of a certain party.

"Actually, it's okay to say it's a delegates' meeting, and it's okay to have a plenary meeting. A lot of people who serve us don't know it. Like some underground banks, private equity funds and so on, we are all managing them. The people who do the specific things don't know. We are even less likely to admit them as members. Xu Zimo explained to Zhang Jiujiu.

"Isn't our association about gambling skills? How can there be money and funds? ”

The more Zhang Jiujiu knew about this association, the more doubts he became. It became increasingly unclear to him what kind of organization it was.

"The association has very strict standards for the development of what kind of industry, that is, it must be related to gambling. What kind of funds, stocks, lotteries and the like, strictly speaking, are all linked to gambling. Our association is also keeping pace with the times and keeping up with the trend of the times. That's why we haven't been involved in an industry like real estate, even though the company has a high assessment of it for the next 20 years. ”

"Oh, so we still have one? It's kind of interesting. Also, if an organization wants to stay for a longer time, it must have some principles, and it can't turn to any industry that is good. If you don't insist on this, no matter how good the development is, there will be a day of decline in the future. ”

After more than 200 years, the DDA Club has been standing still, and it must have its uniqueness.

"There are a lot of requirements from the association, what is not related to pornography, politics, gangsters, and drugs, and you will slowly understand it in the future. We're five minutes away, so let's go. ”

Damn, this is a place to gamble, and there are so many rules? The other "three noes" Zhang Jiujiu can understand, but he is not involved in black? This is completely out of Zhang Jiujiu's cognition. In his impression, the venues where gambling games are set up are often inextricably linked to violence. He really wanted to know how they worked.

Zhang Jiujiu followed Xu Zimo to a gate that said "Staff Passage", but Xu Zimo did not push the door open, but stretched out his right hand and waved it three times on the right side of the door, and the light and shadow of a password disk appeared on the wall.

Xu Zimo took out a small box that was the same as the one used by Fang Debiao before, and operated it the same as him, and a door appeared behind Xu Zimo.

They passed through three doors and took two minutes to get to the venue. It is said to be a venue, but it is actually a large auditorium, and the area of the large auditorium is large enough to accommodate 1,000 people seated at the same time.

The auditorium has a fan-shaped layout, with a huge stage at the front, with three rows of seats of a dozen seats each, and the seats under the stage arranged in a stepped arrangement.

Overhead, there are countless crystal lamps, illuminating the auditorium as bright as day, and there are no pillars to support the ceiling in the auditorium, I really don't know what kind of structure can withstand such a heavy ceiling.

In the center of the altar is a landscape painting five or six meters high and eleven or twelve meters wide. Zhang Jiujiu recognized the scene in the painting as the Wuting Bridge in Slender West Lake in Zhouyang City.

Above the landscape painting hangs a banner that reads: "The 12th General Assembly of All Delegates of the Tonghuan Entertainment Association".

On both sides of the stage are two huge screens, which dynamically broadcast some important moments of the venue, such as the appearance of an important person. When Zhang Jiujiu appeared, the camera was actually aimed at him, and a close-up of him appeared on both screens at the same time, which lasted for half a minute.

Suddenly, those who were already seated immediately began to talk. Everyone was suspicious of the stranger's identity. Because even if some important characters appear, the camera will only stay for more than ten seconds.

Some people speculate that this person may be the descendant of an important leader of the country, some people speculate that it may be an important representative of a certain country, and more people still think that the machine has malfunctioned.

Xu Zimo took Zhang Jiujiu to the rostrum. He had headphones in his ears, and he was told that Zhang Jiujiu was arranged there.

Zhang Jiujiu found his name in the first row of the rostrum, and he was still wondering, this world is really too small, and he can meet someone with the same name as him here. He also thought that the person who could sit in this position must be of a very high level, and he wanted to see what this person with the same name as himself looked like.

Xu Zimo pointed to that position and said, "That is your position, I'll go to the back." ”
