Chapter 27: Sensation
With the confirmation of Chen Sheng's participation in this fighting competition, various publicity work was immediately in full swing.
In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Sheng began to follow the photographer to take various promotional photos, Wang Yue contacted the best photographer in Hong Kong, and tossed Chen Sheng to get these photos in the afternoon.
In the evening, Chen Sheng's message appeared on the main page of the online promotion, and all the promotional posters were reprinted and rolled out in Hong Kong and Macau, and by tomorrow, Chen Sheng's profile picture and information would appear on all the promotional materials about the fight.
At the same time, the casino has also cooperated with the publicity, and on the betting page of the ************ about this fighting tournament, you can see a photo of Chen Sheng as soon as you enter, and his Chinese identity is particularly eye-catching.
The most important thing is that the identity of Chen Sheng's domestic martial arts champion was introduced in the detailed information, and the disclosure of this information immediately caused a sensation among the majority of fighting fans, and many people didn't dare to believe this information, but when they saw the words "martial arts champion" in the personal information column, fighting fans had to believe it.
"How can there be a martial arts champion participating in a fighting tournament, is he the opponent of those fighters, don't lose too ugly"
"Don't underestimate traditional martial arts, some of them are still very practical"
"There's no problem with the origin of this Chen Sheng, don't use it to make up the number by the organizers."
"You can rest assured, Chen Sheng's strength is indeed very good, I watched the youth ring match two years ago, his performance was very exciting, I am very optimistic about him in this fighting tournament."
"What an unexpected surprise, I didn't expect the traditional martial arts champion to appear in the K-1 fighting arena, I don't know what the result will be, I'm looking forward to it."
"The rules of the fighting match will not change, it will still be the K-1 rules, but don't change it to the rules of martial arts, then the excitement will be much lower."
"I haven't seen the information to change the rules, there should be no changes, let's wait to see the show, and see if the bottom is traditional martial arts or modern martial arts."
"I think it's more like a marketing strategy for us Chinese on the casino side"
"Anyway, I'm looking forward to this fighting tournament even more, with our own people participating, the sense of substitution will be stronger all of a sudden, and then we must go to Macau to watch the game, and bet to support our own people."
"It is estimated that the betting markets of major casinos will be opened soon, look at the odds and then bet, but no matter how much, you still have to support Chen Sheng"......
When the next day came, the news that Chen Sheng participated in this fighting competition as a domestic martial arts champion had already spread across the Taiwan Strait and three places, causing a complete sensation.
After countless people in the martial arts world heard the news, they couldn't believe it at first, but after confirming it through various media information, knowing that this was the truth, everyone suddenly became very excited, and everyone also wanted to see how Chen Sheng, as a leader of the younger generation, would perform in the process of competing with world-class fighting champions.
Some seniors who are familiar with Baji have already called Master Chen Sheng, and after confirming the facts, they all congratulated Chen Sheng's master, and finally wished Chen Sheng good results and glory to the domestic martial arts world.
Naturally, Master Lin is extremely proud, and he hopes that Chen Sheng can show off his country's prestige in this kind of championship-level fighting arena and make a long face for the martial arts world.
At the same time, the pressure is not small, for fear that during the competition, Chen Sheng will not perform well and be criticized by the majority of colleagues in the martial arts world.
After receiving these calls, the master immediately called Chen Sheng to ask him about his state and confidence, and the answer given by Chen Sheng was naturally that the victory was in his hands, and the master was very happy after hearing it, and told them to perform well in Hong Kong and Macao, and strive to show a perfect performance in this ring competition, so that all colleagues in the martial arts world can see.
Similarly, those who have fought with Chen Sheng in the domestic youth martial arts ring are all emotional:
They knew that Chen Sheng was once again ahead of them and had already begun to step into the international martial arts arena, and the distance between themselves and Chen Sheng had been widened again, and it seemed that it would only get farther and farther away in the future. If I don't catch up, I'm afraid I won't even be able to see the other party."
Many people in the martial arts community have decided to rush to Macau to watch this martial arts competition in person, that is, to cheer for Chen Sheng, the representative of the martial arts world, and also to see the performance of wushu in the international championship-level fighting arena.
And the happiest people to see these news are naturally martial arts enthusiasts and fans of Chen Sheng.
"It's so awesome, Chen Sheng has finally stepped on the international fighting arena, I'm really looking forward to this match"
"This is a real K-1 world champion, both of them have been K-1GP champions for the past two years, everyone is very strong, I am looking forward to it"
"Chen Sheng is mighty, he will win"
"Who is going to Macau together, take a companion, I have already booked a ticket"
"The local tyrant asks to hook up, go with him!"
"Roll ......" ......
Chen Sheng, who is in Hong Kong, has also felt the craze, and when he goes to the gym in the morning, the outside of the gym is completely surrounded by the media and many fans.
When they saw Chen Sheng coming, they immediately rushed up, and all kinds of questions directly overwhelmed Chen Sheng, especially those martial arts fans who were particularly crazy, holding huge signs supporting Chen Sheng, and shouting Chen Sheng's name in their mouths.
After answering a few questions, with the help of Jack and the others and everyone in the gym, Chen Shengcai broke through the encirclement, entered the gym, and threw himself into a day's training.
The performance of the people outside made Chen Sheng and Jack decide to drive directly to train in the future, and they could directly enter the elevator and go upstairs from the underground parking lot, so they didn't have to enter the building like a war.
Although there were people who kept entering the gym to take pictures during training, they were much more rational than when they were at the door, and today the casino also sent additional security personnel, which saved him a lot of trouble.
On the same day, the odds of the major casinos in Macau for this fighting tournament were re-released, because Chen Sheng has never appeared in the international martial arts arena, and there is no previous record to refer to, so many casinos are not optimistic about Chen Sheng's victory, and the odds are also the highest.
Not long after the new odds were opened, the casino received a large number of bets, and sure enough, many Hong Kong and Macao gamblers were not very optimistic about the prospect of Chen Sheng's victory, and there were not many people who bought him to win.
However, various casinos have received bets from many mainland gamblers, and these mainland gamblers are optimistic about Chen Sheng, which makes many casinos a little surprised.
What they don't know is that Chen Sheng has a very high status among many martial arts enthusiasts in the mainland, and everyone still remembers his performance two years ago, especially his domineering spirit, which is too impressive.
The odds offered by the casino make everyone happy, maybe go to Macau to watch the fighting competition, not only to see the wonderful game, travel, but also to make some money by the way.
The best of both worlds, why not, so many mainland gamblers began to get involved and bet on Chen Sheng to win.
The influx of large sums of money from the mainland soon caught the attention of the casinos, and while they continued to accept bets, the investigation into more detailed information about Chen Sheng was also underway.
At this time, He Shenghe, who is the head snake in Hong Kong, is holding a meeting to discuss how to participate in this fighting tournament and get a piece of the pie.
Everyone sat and listened to He Sheng and the boss training their subordinate Ah Biao:
"Look at the opponent your chicken boy chosen, he chose a national martial arts champion, why didn't he choose a world heavyweight boxing champion to cut it, it is not an exaggeration to be beaten to death by others, and he doesn't go out with eyes"
Ah Biao also had an aggrieved expression:
"Who knew that this Beiyan was so powerful, if he had known about this, give them a boldness, they wouldn't dare to provoke it, and now there is no way"
The boss said: "Don't talk about this, if you say it, you will be angry, and in the future, you will mix outside, and you should brighten up your moves, see the other party's background and strength clearly, don't be so reckless"
Biao: "Got it, big guy"
"You will contact Wang Yue later, make an appointment with him to meet him, talk about the matter of investing in this fighting competition, speak politely, show a little sincerity, this time we are talking about business, not to cut people, put away the breath of the old boy on the body"
"Got it, big guy"
Ah Biao replied to his boss, turned around and went to contact Wang Yue, and soon made an appointment with Wang Yue, ready to meet in the evening, and after setting the location, he hung up the phone, and then walked to his boss and said.
"Big man, Wang Yue agreed to meet, the time is at eight o'clock in the evening, and the location is at the café of the Peninsula Hotel"
"Okay, let's go over and meet them in the evening, you take three or four brothers, clean up a little bit, put away all the Jianghu qi on your body, and go to the place not a street stall, but the Peninsula Hotel, you will go with me at night"
"Okay, big guy, I'll bring a few brothers who can fight the most, do you want to bring guys?" asked Ah Biao.
"No, these are a bunch of serious businessmen, as long as they don't provoke them, there will be no threat, I believe they won't offend us Hong Kong-born societies casually, there is no benefit to them, just arrange a few people outside the hotel to pick us up," the boss said.
Ah Biao nodded and said, "Got it, boss, I'll go down and make arrangements."
The boss waved Ah Biao away, and continued to talk to the rest of the leaders about other matters.
At this time, Wang Yue and Fan Wei were sitting in the company's office and were busy with their feet facing the sky, and the staff next to them were also busy running before and after, and the whole company was full of an upward atmosphere, and everyone's enthusiasm was very high, which was in stark contrast to the lifeless scene of the previous two days.
The phone kept ringing, and soon the secretary who answered the phone told Wang Yue.
"Boss, the call is from Brother Nan of New Ngee An Wan Chai, I can't answer it."
Wang Yue looked at Fan Wei helplessly, smiled, and went over to pick up the phone.
Fan Wei knew that this was because these underworld organizations in Hong Kong saw that Wang Yue's business was close to success and profitable, so they all wanted to come over and get a piece of the pie.
Today, there have been a lot of such calls, and almost all the large associations in Hong Kong have called.
For these calls, Wang Yue and Fan Wei were a little helpless, saying no, it didn't seem to give them face, after all, if they want to do business in this part of Hong Kong, these associations are really not easy to offend, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble in the future, and everything can't be solved by calling.
Take it, and I'm a little bored, these people are like locusts, eager to nail your body and suck your blood out, so they are satisfied.
And the process of answering the phone is also very unpleasant, some people can still speak politely, with a negotiated tone, and make an appointment to talk about things at a time and place.
Some people look like the eldest and his second, it seems that cooperating with them has given you a lot of face, and if you refuse, you will look good.
For such a call, Wang Yue was polite, and immediately hung up, for those who were polite, Wang Yue listened to Fan Wei's advice, and invited them to the café of the Peninsula Hotel, ready to talk to them.
Tonight's Peninsula Hotel is bound to be a gathering of storms, and important figures from many associations in Hong Kong and Macao will appear here.
Of course, cooperation is impossible, whether it is Wang Yue, Chen Sheng, or Fan Wei, they will not look at the fruits of their labor and be picked by a gang of underworlds. (To be continued.) )
