Duquen saw Wu Di's actions and said with a smile:
"It's a definite fact that there are loopholes, because this is just a first draft, and we have brought it to ask for everyone's opinion. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info But I think at most we just need to improve the details, and there shouldn't be any major changes to the specific rules. β
He paused and glanced at Wu Di,
"I thought Mr. Wu would be very interested, is it wrong?"
Wu Di felt that although Du Ken was ugly, he was not annoying, so he decided to discuss more with him. In fact, the main reason is that this gambling tournament does have a certain attraction to him, if you can be sure that there are no traps, you can get a few antiques worth more than 10 million dollars by playing, why not?
"Even if all the loopholes are plugged, I don't think too many people will participate, after all, those collections are all collected by everyone, how can they be used to participate in this kind of child's play? Moreover, the organizing committee wants to pay to buy the antiques of the first round of eliminated players, even if the appraisal price is relatively low, but it will occupy a lot of funds in the short term, and it is likely that the gains outweigh the losses. β
After listening to Sparrow's translation, Duquen grinned, grandma's, sure enough, only brain-dead people would say that others are brain-dead!
"I think Mr. Wu must have misunderstood, and the number of participants in this competition must be very large. It's only been a few days since the idea came out, but 21 of the billionaires we've tried to solicit advice have already made it clear that they want to participate. Moreover, through this competition, the organizers earn a lot of precious antiques, isn't it all money? β
"Oh? Would anyone really sign up for this kind of brain-dead competition? Then they must not be real antique collectors. β
The black line on Duquene's face, the words have been said to this extent, and he only has such understanding, which is really worthy of being brain-dead! Besides. Those people really can't be considered real collectors, but can you, the guy who broke out in half a year, be considered a real collector?
"I think I know why Mr. Wu has such doubts. So, if I ask you a question, you'll understand. Excuse me, do you think there are many people who really love antiques and can collect rare antiques among antique collectors? Or are there many rich people who are vassals and elegant, and regard collecting as a faΓ§ade or investment? β
Wu Di finally understood that he had been ignoring a fact all along. Most of the real antique collectors are not in this business! Just like Eskenats, just like Zhou Lesheng, how many people who really love collecting dare to say that their collections are more precious than them, more precious than them?
And that's what this contest is for! The purpose of these people to collect antiques is not simple, there is such an opportunity to not only make a name for themselves, but also to get a large number of rare cultural relics for free, most of them will participate!
"Please look at the rules of the second round of the tournament again, if you lower the threshold for the first round, the vast majority of the participants will be placed in the second round. What will happen? β
What will happen? You don't have to look at Wu Di to know clearly, there will be some greedy people who will grab those ten free antiques! And at this time, the rules of the competition will exert great power, and the loser will put his antique into the prize pool for free!
It seems a little scary. Suppose a total of 100 people participated, and 10 were killed in the first round, and the organizing committee spent money to collect 10 antiques, even if only 40 people out of 90 people in the second round went to grab these ten things. After the tournament, the number of antiques in the prize pool will also be thirty! Besides, the second round is not shot. There is no chance of participating in the third round, and since you have participated in the first round, how can you abstain and not go down?
Looking at the final result after three rounds, only the top three took a total of nine things, and then counting the dedication of the seven unlucky people who lost their treasures in the last round, that is to say, the organizer only needs to pay for ten antiques to get twenty-eight antiques of the same level, what is this concept?
This is not the most terrifying, Wu Di also noticed that no matter how many people participate in the competition, the number of prizes is constant. Then, the more people who participate in the second round, the more the organizing committee earns......
"The key to this competition is the second round, but I don't think everyone should be so stupid, isn't it to give antiques to the organizing committee?"
"Hehe, what if we could create a reason to rob it? Let's put it this way, if those ten things were all at the level of the bronze armor that our boss wanted, probably no one would fight for them. However, if you change to the special significance of the treasure of the level of "Qingming Riverside Picture", Tiancong Cloud Sword, and "Mona Lisa", what do you think will happen? β
Wu Di gasped, there is indeed a possibility that this will happen! No, this will definitely happen! The organizing committee only needs to arrange for ten people to deliberately lose the first round, so that the antiques they want to flow into the prize pool will definitely flow in!
Don't say it's a treasure of the level of "Qingming Riverside Picture", even if it's worse than it, no, it's worth taking a 10 million dollar antique to fight for this opportunity! Grandma's, if the thing is really precious, don't think about it, as long as these people haven't been killed, they will definitely fight to the end!
"At that time, some people will definitely think that the rule of only allowing three antiques to participate in the competition is too unkind! They're going to be eager to give ten or twenty pieces in exchange for a chance to grab them! What is an antique worth tens of millions, if there really is such a thing, for some people, I am afraid that even if it is worth exchanging hundreds of pieces! β
Wu Di rubbed his forehead, indeed, hundreds of pieces for one are worth it.
The robot cat scratched his scalp, he has a certain amount of research on antiques, and seems to have found a loophole here,
"Fifth brother, in this way, the problem arises again, if those ten are really treasures of this level and are won away, even if they harvest hundreds of antiques worth tens of millions, they should not be worth the loss, right?"
Duquen shook his head and didn't speak, Wu Di explained:
"Cat, that's not how it works. Of course, they can't get their hands on things like Mr. Duquesne's example, which are treasures for all mankind, but they can definitely get their hands on things that are of great value to a particular nation or a particular country! For example, the glass vase in my hand has a fatal attraction for collectors in Islamic countries, and the "Flower of Death" will definitely be grabbed by people on the European continent! If they have a similar item in the prize pool, you can imagine what will happen then. β
He glanced at the dumbfounded robot cat, and continued:
"Let's not mention that these ten things are likely to be prepared by the organizing committee in advance, but everyone loses into the prize pool! To his original owner, those things are probably just an ordinary antique worth tens of millions of dollars, but for some specific people, it may be another "Mona Lisa"! β
Duquesne nodded and continued:
"Yes, it's easy to do, because countless wars have caused the loss of a large number of precious cultural relics in countries with a long history, and these countries have developed and devoted themselves to the recovery of these cultural relics......"
"Just say Huaxia. In fact, if I am the organizer, I don't need to find any support, just put ten such things in the prize pool. If the information of these ten things is sent out at the same time in the invitation letter, I am afraid that the real collectors who will come at that time will be many times more than those rich people who play tickets! β
Now it's Duques' turn to gasp,
"Yes, we have been thinking about how to invite more people to participate in the competition, how to reasonably put things into the pot in the first round, but we have been ignoring this problem, we can be generous and just put it in! If you want to take it, you must give it first, the famous words of the ancient Chinese people do not deceive me! β
We? This time, Wu Di finally noticed his tone. Could it be that this idea of cutting off children and grandchildren was actually come up with by your old boy? I'm still here to help you analyze!
He wanted to leave angrily in a rage, but what if there were really a few precious cultural relics in the prize pool that were lost in the Old Summer Palace? This situation is almost absolute! Besides, even if you take 10,000 steps back and say, no, if you win the treasures of other countries, you can also exchange them for them! And when the time comes, the bamboo pole can be knocked louder!
Your mother, this is purely the kidnapping of Hongguoguo!
"Mr. Wu, if you can win the final victory, your gains will be incomparably huge! Because the last round of gambling is converted according to the value of the antique. For example, if your antiques are worth 10 million dollars, then your gambling capital is 10 million, and if your antiques are worth 100 million, then your gambling capital is 100 million...... You say, which one is easier to hold out to the end? β
Cards, cards, cards! Can you be more shameless? If Lao Tzu took out that Tang Bohu's divine painting at that time, wouldn't those contestants all have to cry? Even if he loses, it's probably enough for them to win for a few days, right?
Wu Di really has an urge to cry, he fucking likes this kind of regulation so much! As long as you want to win, you must increase your gambling capital, but the more you increase your gambling capital, the more precious it must become...... This...... If you win the championship at this time, what will be the concept of picking five first?
No, no, it seems that the benefits are more than that......
"Mr. Duquene, in the second round of the competition, will everyone be able to grab only one antique or ten?"
"Hahahaha, I knew Mr. Wu would ask such a question! Of course, you can grab ten pieces, so it's fun! However, you should be aware that you only have one antique registered at the time of registration as a book, and if you lose, you will never have a chance! (To be continued.) )
