First teaser
"Dongfang Power, Ocean Freight, Northland Heavy Industry ......"
"Monitor Lizard" Cuomo read out the signs on the chips one by one, his tone was steady, but his face was slightly surprised. The chips in the "war of stealing the country" are not money, so they cannot be dealt with simply as a number. Identifying the value of each chip and determining whether the two sides bet are roughly equal is one of the most important jobs for a game host.
In Cuomo's view, Liang Jingmo seemed to be casual when he threw out this chip, but in fact, it already accounted for nearly half of the resources in his hands. Having made such a heavy bet in the first round shows that he is confident in what he has predicted.
"Amazing courage."
Bai Su was also stunned for a moment when he saw the chips, but he smiled again in the next second. "It's only the first round, aren't you going to test it first?" He looked at Liang Jingmo with a smile, "If you lose this game, how will you continue next?" ”
"You don't have to worry about that." Liang Jingmo sneered, "The ante bet of the 'Stealing the Country' is a bargaining chip, right? If you don't dare to call, don't talk nonsense, just leave your chips and throw in the towel. ”
He slowly glanced at the people behind Bai Su.
"But what will your men think of you? With such a boss who just came up and retreated without a fight, if I were them, I must have felt very aggrieved. ”
Bai Suleng paused.
"What a lame agitation!" He suddenly threw his head back and laughed. With this action, his hand also reached for the box next to him where the chips were placed. Everyone's eyes followed his movements, whether to throw away a chip and calmly avoid its edge, or to throw out a bet no less than Liang Jingmo and bet on the host's ability to control the prison to win?
The answer is revealed in the next second. Bai Su grabbed more than a dozen chips and threw them on the table like Liang Jingmo had just done. As the host on the other side, Nangong Wang estimated the value of the chips for the first time, and then nodded at Liang Jingmo.
"The value is basically equal." He said.
"If I were you, I'd raise." Liang Jingmo said, "Anyway, they were provoked and called, so why not just bet bigger?" If you win, your morale will be boosted. If you lose, it's just a little bit more lost. You have so many chips, you shouldn't be afraid of being caught up by me so soon, right? ”
It is clear that the excitement will succeed, and the situation is very good, but Liang Jingmo's mouth has never stopped. He stared at Bai Su's expression, as if he was still looking for an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, but Cumo next to him refused to watch him continue to be proud.
"Now that both sides have placed their bets, it's time to verify the results."
He snapped his fingers, and an assistant-like figure brought an open laptop. Everyone saw that it was the electronic floor plan of the sea prison. In most areas of the floor plan, you can see some glowing bright spots flickering, but in the "C area" mentioned in Liang Jingmo's trailer, there is not a single point of light.
"This is a real-time scan of the prison, and the floor plan shows that there is indeed no one in Area C for the time being, and it seems that someone has organized a successful escape." "However, the time mentioned in the trailer is 'five minutes later,' and now there are about three minutes left until that moment, so let's see what happens." ”
He turned to Nangong Wang: "If you are worried that I have done something on the device, you can also confirm it through other channels." ”
"You're not going to play this lame trick." Nangong Wang said lightly, "However, I will confirm it." ”
After saying this, the scene fell silent. Everyone's eyes were glued to the picture on the screen, even Liang Jingmo, who personally proposed the 'teaser'. Although he said it arrogantly, Bai Su's call still brought him a lot of pressure, and he had to confirm the results with his own eyes to alleviate it.
"No problem, everything was arranged. Infallible. He said to himself in his heart, over and over again.
It's like trying to convince yourself to suppress the involuntarily uneasy feeling that swells up. It's a pity that Liang Jingmo didn't even have time to notice his subtle emotions at this time.
He just looked at the screen and waited for the results of the first game to come in.
"According to what you say, if you get the first move, the first game will be Liang Jingmo's victory." Jiang Liang said, "However, just winning in the 'preview' does not mean that he has maximized the benefits brought by the initiative in this round." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Xiang Nanxing asked.
"A very simple example is if the opponent gives up calling." Jiang Liang explained, "A project that was originally prepared was a huge amount of manpower and material resources, but in the end only got a chip as compensation. It's like throwing a punch with all your might, only to just brush it off the opponent, leaving only a small bruise. The rules are to win, but basically nothing is gained. ”
"I don't think Bai Su will give up calling, though." He said again.
"Why?"
"One of the reasons is because it affects the impression score."
Jiang Liang said: "They are not the kind of old rivals who win and lose each other, but they are fighting for the first time. In this case, the initial situation will inevitably affect the judgment of their strength by the subordinates on both sides. If Liang Jingmo wins the coin toss and wins the first round smoothly, this is equivalent to winning the opponent twice in a row, which will inevitably make everyone subconsciously feel that he is stronger. ”
"Of course, considering the great influence of the first move in this game form, winning the first move can basically bring victory, and the success of this 'double winning streak' has to be more or less discounted. In this case, Bai Su's response is very important. If he chooses to give up calling and choose to avoid the punches thrown by his opponent, it seems clever, but in terms of momentum, he has already lost. ”
Xiang Nanxing asked: "If it were you......"
"If it were me, I'd call, but not raise." Jiang Liang said, "In the face of a must-lose situation, calling is not retreating, you can afford to lose, and raising becomes reckless." Rather than giving up, this may cost you some chips, but the very act of calling can put pressure on the opponent and make it impossible for him to avoid a challenge in the future. What's more, Bai Su had a lot more chips than Liang Jingmo at the beginning, and even if he lost this game, he was only slightly behind, so what was there to be afraid of. ”
"This is simply a fallacy." Xiang Nanxing frowned, "No matter how imposing it looks, losing is losing, the chips lost are real, who would take on the challenge with little hope?" If I were Liang Jingmo, I would laugh at those chips and give up when it was my turn. That looks obscene at best, but it wins. ”
"There's another reason for that." Jiang Liang smiled, "Xiang Nanxing, in your opinion, what do these chips represent?" ”
"It's 'control.'" He replied to himself, "Still, these are the assumptions of the past. ”
"Each of these chips represents a business group, or a political team. In previous war stealing wars, they changed hands not only as a transfer of value as bargaining chips, but also meant that the corresponding part of the force also changed hands. What you get from your opponent is not just chips, but also the next hand to use. The outcome of a game is a trade-off, and the effect is very obvious. Jiang Liang smiled bitterly, "But like I said, these are all in the past." Xiang Nanxing, do you think these chips can play a similar role in the current game? ”
Xiang Nanxing shook his head slowly, as if he had realized.
"Yes, now without the absolute coercive power of the royal family, things are very different. Although basic fairness can be guaranteed by the way the two sides assign moderators, there is nothing else that can be done. So, as you might think, the chips are just chips now, and until you lose them, they're just pretty numbers. Jiang Liang smiled, "Continue to think along this line of thought, what do you think is the standard for winning or losing this 'war of stealing the country'?" ”
Isn't it just to take away all the chips of the other party?
Just as Xiang Nanxing wanted to answer, Jiang Liang's prompt suddenly flashed in his mind. "In this way......" he thought with a frown, "without the absolute coercive power of the royal family's high position, the chips are just a bunch of numbers, and even if the result is pronounced by the two co-hosts after one side wins the other's chips, it ......"
"But that's just the outcome of this matchup." Jiang Liang continued, "The winning side can make this result public, but what does that mean? Bai Su's reputation will be damaged, but the resources under his hands will not go to the other party's side because of this result. Thinking about 'stealing the country' is just a competition in the end. Unless ......"
"Unless, Liang Jingmo can force out Bai Su's weakness in the process." Xiang Nanxing continued, "Although it is unlikely, if Bai Su can be exposed to his unreliable side under the pressure of victory and defeat, or behave enough to make the forces under his control panic, he may be able to really win something from this duel in the end - but that's all." In the next matter, both sides still have to rely on the hands they have mastered, wrestling on the stage of the whole country, and sacrifice is inevitable in the process, and they don't know when it will subside......"
Xiang Nanxing bit his lip: "Is this the result that guy wants to see?" ”
Jiang Liang looked at him with interest: "This is the conclusion you deduced?" ”
"Isn't it?" Xiang Nanxing was puzzled.
Jiang Liang didn't answer directly, but smiled and turned his head.
"I thought that after going through so many things, you would become a little different." He thought for a moment and nodded again, "But there's nothing wrong with that, anyway, it's not you who will be fighting against Bai Su." ”
Xiang Nanxing stared at him: "What do you mean by this." ”
"Meaning, just wait and see." Jiang Liang opened the door with a smile and walked out first, "There is only one thing I agreed with him, and when there is a predetermined signal, I will lead people to rush to the palace and take the orthodox position of the royal family." No matter what the final result of his side is, whether Liang Jingmo wins or loses, I will definitely take this move. ”
"But one thing I can assure you is, no matter what the outcome is, the game will never go the way you think."
He paused for a moment and emphatically emphasized, "Never." ”
