Chapter 36 If you want to do something, make money first
The Keju project of the Great Song Dynasty is very developed, and it is definitely the strongest in the world. Compared with the polo in the pre-Tang Dynasty, it is also surpassed.
And the people of the Great Song Dynasty are much better off than in the previous dynasty.
Maybe the people in other places are living in dire straits, but the people in Bianliang City are doing well.
Even if you just run a house in a restaurant, you can easily earn more than 100 yuan every day, and you can also eat and live.
If the problem of food and clothing is solved, there will be more people's pursuits. It just so happens that everyone likes Keju, and there can be three melons and two dates in their pockets. So when the Keju League appeared, the curiosity about novelties made the entire Bianliang City a sensation.
"Those people outside who are full of Bianliang City are posted everywhere and walk the streets to promote the Keju League, are they sent out?"
In Gao Yu's study, the high-ranking and powerful Song Palace Marshal was drinking tea with Wang Xiao.
"Yes."
Wang Xiao didn't talk nonsense, because he knew that the seemingly mediocre guy in front of him was actually a shrewd character. may not be as good as the head of Yue, but it is not much different from the leader of the Left Alliance.
They all like to play with black belly, and Wang Xiao still has this bit of eyesight.
"How's it going?"
"There are a large number of teams signing up for the three tiers, and they are now being screened." Wang Xiao also knew that many large families in Bianliang City had their own Keju teams. Now that the league is out, everyone is scrambling to be the first to do it for the sake of face, for fear that they will not be laughed at.
"I've heard that the entrance fee is 8,000 yuan." Gao Yu frowned, "Isn't it too high?" ”
"Someone came to the palace marshal?" Wang Xiao smiled, "The palace marshal just went in directly, and there was no need to pay any more." As for the 8,000 guan is only the starting price, and then there will be a bid, and the one with the highest price will win. ”
Gao Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Is anyone really willing to spend so much money to participate in this Keju League?" ”
"The big families in Bianliang City are poor, and the only thing left is money." Wang Xiao explained out loud: "I didn't enter the house next door, so I can't hang up on this face." Moreover, there is a high prize money for participating in the league, and the two companies can share half of the ticket revenue for each game. No one can refuse this, both in terms of face and in terms of practical benefits. It is conservatively estimated that the first batch of 60 teams in the three levels can be auctioned at least more than 500,000 pieces. ”
Gao Yu was very satisfied, and he was able to earn hundreds of thousands of yuan before the matter began. And he has merit in the official family who is short of money, and he has connections on the side of his colleagues who have left the favor. At the same time, you can also leave a large amount of income in your own hands. That's a good thing that fell from the sky.
"Drink tea, drink tea." Gao Yu smiled and raised his hand to signal Wang Xiao to drink tea, "When I go back next time, I will go to the account room to pay 500 yuan, which is a little bit of the old man's heart." ”
Wang Xiao despised such a small amount of money in his heart, you are really embarrassed to be handsome. However, his face was grateful, "Thank you, Commander!" ”
With the full support of the officials and the forbidden army, there are people who are eagerly looking forward to it. Things are going extremely well in the Kemari League.
Just like Wang Xiao said, for the sake of face and money. The competition for qualification to the league is fierce.
Even if it is a third-tier league that starts with 3,000 runs, the final entry fee has been speculated to tens of thousands. The competition for the secondary league, which starts at 5,000 guan, is even more fierce, and the auction price of the average number of places has reached nearly 20,000.
Even in this Bianliang City, which is full of gold and silver, this is a huge amount of money.
The reason why it is so popular is largely because Wang Xiao advertised that this year is a start-up, so teams at all levels can join directly. If you want to join next year, you will have to fight for four spots in the relegation of the third division.
There is no doubt that the competition for 60 places is not the same as the competition for 4 places. What's more, even if you fight for it next year, you will have to fight from the lowest level.
For the sake of face, for the sake of money.
In the auction of twenty places in the top league, all parties have already grabbed the fire. Especially after a number of teams went through the routes of the official family, Gao Yu, Cai Jing and other high-level leaders. Looking at the dwindling number of places, it's really a dog brain.
By the day the Keju League officially started, there were thousands of empty alleys in the entire Bianliang City. Countless people poured into the improvised courts converted from forbidden military schools to watch the Keju matches.
The scene was extremely hot, and even the cheapest ten-dollar admission bamboo sticks were fried to dozens of yuan. As for the box with an annual subscription of up to 200 yuan, it was sold out early.
Wang Xiao hired many locals to do all kinds of publicity all over the city, one of which was that the stadium box was a status symbol. People who don't even have a box on the Keju court are definitely not big shots.
After this kind of rhetoric spread in Bianliang City, anyone who thought he was a character would pay for a box to prove his identity.
This money alone earned nearly 100,000 yuan, and this is only for a year. Gao Yu was already smiling.
"My lord, the handicap everywhere has been recovered."
Wang Xiao brought twenty Yanggu County Xiang troops, all of whom were left by him and transferred to the forbidden army as his subordinates.
Being able to come down from the countryside to Bianliang City, and there is an iron rice bowl that can be passed on to future generations, the Xiang army is absolutely grateful to Wang Xiao.
Before the start of the game on the court, Wang Xiao asked them to open markets outside the court.
Looking at the stadium surrounded by a wooden fence in front of him, Wang Xiao is now most concerned about the income "What is the total amount?" ”
"My lord, we collected a total of 80,000 yuan!"
Xiang Jun couldn't speak neatly, they hadn't even thought about such a huge sum of money in the past.
Wang Xiao smiled, "It's not all ours, people have to pay out if they are pressed." And the people above also have to be dotted, who knows how many will be in the end of the hand. But no matter what happens in the end, the brothers will not be treated badly. ”
These words moved the Xiang Jun, and they all said that they all wanted to work for Wang Xiao, and it didn't matter what the benefits were.
But in fact, how could Wang Xiao lose money, he ended the handicap in the morning and carefully calculated the odds, and the game was held in the afternoon. This period leaves a lot of room to operate.
In this league with very primitive rules and systems, it couldn't be easier to manipulate.
Wang Xiao didn't really want to develop the Keju career of the Great Song Dynasty, he did all this just to make money.
Besides, even if the Keju of the Great Song Dynasty develops well, what can it be. A few years later, the Jin soldiers went south, and they had to rely on Keju and Jin Bing to fight each other.
The Keju League officially began, and the grand occasion was unprecedented. Even Zhao Ji couldn't hold back his curiosity and came outside to watch it in person. The scene was unfurled with flags and gongs and drums. Those who don't know still think that today is the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.
The competition was a success, and everyone who invested in the stake made a lot of money. Characters with heads and faces think they prove their status. Ordinary people enjoyed a feast of joy without spending much money.
Even Zhao Ji is rare, not only making money, but also enjoying the cheers of the people.
The only ones who are dissatisfied are those who paid for their bets and ended up losing.
Statistically and probabilityally, the highest odds of buying a ball are a draw, because there is at least a 33% chance of winning.
And those options provided by Wang Xiao to guess the score, guess who can score, and even guess who will be injured and go down. Don't look at the extremely high odds, even more than 100 odds. But in fact, most people spend a few pennies to try their luck. As a result, it was all contributed to Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao, who was born in the modern world, knows a lot of knowledge, in order to avoid someone borrowing these ultra-high odds to pit himself. All off-court bets have a ceiling, and even if someone makes a game, they can't pit Wang Xiao much.
In addition, Wang Xiao also contacted many vendors in Bianliang City. The franchise model allows them to do business both inside and outside the Keju Stadium. As for the price, it is necessary to pay Wang Xiao.
Playing up and down, paying various fees, team sharing, etc.
After all the expenses and expenses were delivered, Wang Xiao counted the hidden income of 13,000 yuan.
If this is exchanged for a reward for fighting tigers, Wang Xiao will have to empty the entire mountain range of tigers.
Wang Xiao can't take the money from the mission world, so he can only spend it. But for the time being, the money is not enough, and he needs to do more.
"What have the big officials been busy with lately?" Rarely free, Wang Xiao found Ximenqing and invited him to dinner.
Ximen Qing was active in Bianliang City, so he naturally knew that Wang Xiao had been very hot recently. Make a Keju league out and hit the whole city.
I was jealous that I didn't have such a mind, but I didn't dare to offend on my face, "I didn't do anything, I just wandered around." ”
Wang Xiao had long known through undercover that Ximenqing had been trying to get through Master Li's door, but he had spent most of his net worth, but there had been no progress. He came to Ximenqing today to put more pressure on him, so that he could jump over the wall in a hurry and cause an accident.
"That's not going to work, our business hasn't settled yet. If the big officials continue to be so careless, then our business should not cooperate. ”
Wang Xiao's words made Ximenqing's eyes instantly look fierce.
When he left Yanggu County, he had already sold most of his wealth, and there was basically nothing left except for the house. This money was not used in Bianliang City to make steamed buns, but spent most of it in order to get through Master Li's door.
If Wang Xiao kicked him away from the steamed bun business, then he would really be finished.
In terms of Ximenqing's nature, he instinctively wanted to do it at this time. Grabbing things by any means is nothing to him at all.
Wang Xiao smiled without saying a word, and reached out to pick up the wine jug.
Ximenqing couldn't help but tremble when he saw the wine jug in Wang Xiao's hand, the last time he was smashed by Wang Xiao with a wine jug at Master Li's place, he still remembered vividly, and it had already brought him indelible psychological trauma.
You don't dare to fight, and you can't beat it at all.
Moreover, Wang Xiao is said to have gone through the door of the Taiwei Mansion, and he is not something he can provoke at all.
Wang Xiao smiled kindly, and filled Ximen with a drink, "For the sake of our fellow villagers, I will give you another three days." If the matter of the store cannot be solved within three days, then the matter of our cooperation will be forgotten. I'll figure it out myself. ”
Before coming to Bianliang City, it had been said that all aspects of the expenses would be paid by Ximen Qing, and Wang Xiao would use technology to buy shares. Therefore, the money for the shop must be paid by Ximenqing.
Now Wang Xiao has made a juju league mix, but Ximen Qing is bent on drilling Li Shishi's door and spending most of his family fortune.
If there was no matter of Master Li, Ximen Qing would have taken a big trip to Bianliang City and returned directly to Yanggu County to continue to be his big official.
But now, Ximenqing, who has invested so much, can't go back.
He suddenly thought that when he first came to Bianliang City, it was Wang Xiao who told him about Maqian Street and Master Li. Didn't he prepare to yin himself at that time?
"Excuse me for a few more days." Ximen Qing forcibly squeezed out a smile: "For the sake of fellow villagers." ”
Wang Xiao ate side dishes noncommittally, "It's for the sake of fellow villagers that I will make you rich." Now as long as you have the shop ready, we can start selling, and this kind of profitable business pulling you together is enough to take care of you. Just three days, you can do it yourself. ”
Looking at Wang Xiao's departing back, Ximenqing's eyes were already burning.
"You wait for me! When Lao Tzu has walked through Li Shaozai's door, he must make you look good when the time comes! ”
The remaining money in Ximenqing's hand was impossible to buy a shop, and he decided to use the last money to buy a music score that Master Li liked like a gambler. As long as he can get Master Li to help blow the pillow wind, then he can be reborn.
There's actually nothing wrong with that. Because if Master Li really spoke for him, it would be directly delivered to Song Huizong's ears.
It's just that Ximenqing is not Yan Qing.
When the angry Ximen Qinghu was about to leave, the restaurant ran to stop him.
"You can't leave this guest officer, you haven't settled the bill yet."
Ximenqing's eyes turned black, Wang Xiao, the bastard, ran away without even paying for the wine and food!
