Chapter 980, Gladiator Fight (1)
In the next city, in a resort area opened by the Gong clan, Tang Yao passed the access control checkpoint in Mingmo's car.
"I booked a room for you in the resort for five days, and the accommodation is all in the resort, in addition, the informant of our Tianwen pawn shop said that the palace wise man is in this resort, and recently he doesn't seem to know where to catch up with a small Internet celebrity with an eighteenth line, and he spent a lot of money, it seems to be the birthday of this little Internet celebrity, he chartered a seaview villa suite, and let the resort prepare a series of celebrations, but this is originally a resort area of the Gong family, and he is also a child of the Gong family, so all aspects can be taken care of more thoughtfully, The villa suite I booked for you is near the palace sage's suite, and the rest is up to you, he still owes us the Tianwen pawn shop...... The total amount of principal and interest is more than 3 million, and if you get it all back, the account between the company and you will be written off. ”
"Didn't the debt collection business I dealt with before have two choices, either get the money back, then get back the treasure he bought at that time, why only need money this time?" Tang Yao asked.
"At the beginning, the treasure he bought from our company was a piece of white jade that was priceless, and the inside was engraved with the symbol written by the Great Illusionist Daozong himself five hundred years ago, this piece of white jade itself is very valuable, and the symbol written by the Taoist sect is engraved inside, which is even more valuable, and the value of the tens of millions sold to him is also cut on the face of the Gong family, it stands to reason that the market value of this piece of white jade will be higher, but then I heard that this piece of white jade has been given to others by him, so it is impossible to get it back if you want to, so this time as long as money."
Mingmo parked the car while talking, and the two of them walked to the front desk of the resort with their luggage, the business of the Gong clan on the surface was already very large, but it was only a drop in the bucket compared to its secret business.
In the past few days, Tang Yao has read all the information about the palace sages, although most of them are about the palace sages themselves, but a small part of them mentions the business of the palace family, and the role that the palace sages participate in it, this part is called the illusionist private fight, also called the illusionist gladiator fight.
Human beings like to compete very much, this is a kind of nature, thinking back to the barbarian era, human beings are almost at the bottom of the food chain, and they can't beat any beast when they encounter it, and they have fought for tens of thousands of years in such a fantasy world, and finally become the existence that rules the earth today, which is itself a kind of competition between man and heaven and earth.
In modern society, people still like to fight each other, and in some places there is still constant fighting, and even in peaceful areas, octagonal cage fighting, fist-to-flesh boxing matches, people sit under the ring and cheer wildly for blood and fighting.
The competition between illusionists is also even far more than ordinary fighting, who doesn't want to see demons and monsters, gods and Buddhas competing in the ring, who never thought that Guan Gong and Qin Qiong could fight together, so in fact, many people in this circle are obsessed with the fighting methods between illusionists.
However, there are very few illusionist competitions on the surface, which can't meet people's demand for watching fighting competitions, so many people see this and start to hold private fighting methods, and the Gong clan is one of them.
Providing venues, providing bonuses, attracting a large number of illusionists who lack money and no background to participate, and then making a lot of money just by selling tickets and online live broadcasts, this is the illusionist gladiatorial fight.
However, this kind of fighting method is generally divided into two kinds, both of which cannot be made public, but there are some differences in the rules, the rules of the illusionist gladiatorial fight on the side of the "Divine Mansion" are relatively strict, and many forbidden moves cannot be used, the purpose is not to make a human life, even if the injury is not too serious, it is often found that it will surrender immediately after the fight, so it is not exciting enough, so there are not many viewers watching the "Divine Mansion" illusionist gladiatorial fight.
And on the "ghost thief" side of the illusion master gladiatorial fight is much more bloody and cruel, the rules are simple, almost every time the fighting method will have one side injured, making a life is a common thing, but relatively speaking, the "ghost thief" side of the illusionist gladiatorial fight is also very high, often some outlaws lack money to use will come to try their luck, if you are lucky to fight two games are weak chickens, then you can make a sum of money for a while, and because of the more bloody and cruel reasons, so the "ghost thief" side of the illusionist gladiatorial fight is seen by a lot of people, Even many people from outside the circle came here to see how amazing the legendary illusionist was.
So in such an era of developed networks, live broadcast and offline ticket sales have made all the "ghost thief" illusionist clans who can do this business rich, among which the Gong clan is the most profitable.
The Gong clan ostensibly makes a living from real estate and tourism, but there are illusionist gladiatorial competitions inside each of its resorts, which have been developed for hundreds of years, from ancient times to modern times, and now not to mention the main resorts, even second- and third-tier cities also have resorts of the Gong clan, in fact, it means that at least hundreds of resorts have opened related illusionist gladiatorial fights, and then there are huge profits every day.
Tang Yao sat on the sofa in the lobby with his bag on his back and waited for check-in, when a waiter with a professional smile came over, bowed his head and said, "The check-in of the two of you has been completed, please come with me." ”
Tang Yao nodded and picked up his bag and was about to leave the lobby, when he suddenly saw a large group of bodyguard-looking people walking past the door of the lobby, and the waiter walking in front of Tang Yao consciously stopped, and then showed an apologetic smile at Tang Yao and Mingmo and said: "That is the highest-grade VIP in our resort, I'm really sorry, please wait for them to leave, but as compensation, the two distinguished guests can enter the leisure salon of our resort for free to watch tonight's game." ”
This matter is uncomfortable for anyone, but the other party gave compensation Tang Yao didn't say anything, and the person who just walked in front of him, the one in the middle he recognized at a glance, and it was clearly the target palace wise man this time.
Originally, Tang Yao planned to go to his suite tonight to meet for a while, if he didn't want to pay back the money, he would take some measures, but now seeing him with such a big pomp, with at least seven or eight bodyguards protecting him, Tang Yao's tactics may have to be changed.
"It's okay, it's great to be able to participate in the salon, please lead the way." Mingmo said with a smile, and the waiter who led the way regained his smile when he saw that the two were not angry, and continued to walk with the two to his room.
In the room, Tang Yao put his luggage and looked at the room, a standard five-star hotel room, but it is the cheapest grade in this resort area, looking out from the window, you can see the artificial lake not far away and the high-end villa suites surrounded by mountains and forests, that is where the rich live, and the most expensive suite for a night is said to cost six figures.
"It's just a room, why are some rooms so expensive, what's the difference?" Tang Yao muttered.
"There is not much difference between you and me, but for some people, even a cup of water is worth tens of thousands, because they feel that when they reach that position, they will lose their value with cheap things, such as our boss Luo, I heard that he never goes out to eat now to a restaurant with a per capita of less than four figures, and it must be the kind of high-end restaurant with an open kitchen, he has to see the process of others making it himself before he can eat it with confidence."
Tang Yao shrugged his shoulders and then said: "My plan to ask for debts this time has to change, I thought about going directly to the door at night to ask for money, but I just looked at it, Gong Xianshi's own strength is very average, but the bodyguards who follow him are very unusual, most of them are about the second stage, and one is about the strength of the third stage, although it is not difficult for me to deal with it alone, it will take a lot of effort, and after all, this is the resort area of the Gong clan, in case of this fight, I am afraid that the Gong clan will be unfavorable to me." ”
"What then? Let's say okay first, I'm in charge of your trip this time, I don't care about the rest, you don't want to use the resources of our Tianwen pawnshop, we have nothing to do with this, the money will be transferred to your card first, and then you will call us, we won't handle it. ”
This time, the debt collection Tianwen pawn shop picked himself cleanly, which made Tang Yao very uneasy, he always felt that there was something in it that he didn't know, but after all, he did mess up other people's big business, and he would inevitably have to deal with other people's business in the future, so even if he was stabbed twice, he still had to endure it.
"By the way, what is the lounge salon tonight, is it the kind of bar with special style?" Tang Yao's treatment of the word salon is still stuck in the concept of a small bar.
"What a bar, what she said about free admission to the leisure salon is to give us two tickets to watch tonight's gladiator fight." Mingmo explained.
