Chapter 13 Opening of the Competition
Half a month passed quickly, and the opening of the Flying Sword United Cup was imminent.
In the past few days, the dialect has not been idle, the preparation of the venue, the calculation of odds, and the knowledge of Mrs. Yan and others to understand and master the lottery, so that the dialect is also busy.
At the beginning, Fang Yan and Vice President Lin asked for four venues, and in order to achieve regional monopoly, Fang Yan chose one and eight courtyards in each of the four directions of east, west, north and south.
In this way, the distance between Fang Yan and Mrs. Yan and the others will exceed the range of Yin Gui, and if there is any emergency, Mrs. Yan and the others will not be able to contact Shang Yan immediately, so it is quite important to quickly improve their professionalism in case of emergencies.
As for the odds, after thinking about it carefully, Fang Yan decided to set the odds of the first place in the preliminary group at one to three, a group has twenty people, and the odds of one to three can ensure that Fang Yan profits, and more people have the urge to buy, and the upper limit of personal purchase in the preliminaries is a second-grade spirit stone.
Of course, there will definitely be surprises, such as the usual social popularity of the contestants, or the fact that they are well-known swordsmen in the academy.
However, Fang Yan has taken this kind of accident into account, and it is normal for tens of thousands of contestants to have tens of thousands of accidents in the grouping of thousands of groups.
Even if this kind of accident happens, it will not affect the overall income of the dialect too much, and the local losses are really insignificant to this kind of profiteering industry. But every year, those casinos still make a lot of money.
As for the finals in the courtyard and the finals of the eight courtyards, Fang Yan considered the real-time odds, and Fang Yan reached an agreement with the Tiangong Society of other academies through the contact of President Mu in the past few days.
After the competition, Fang Yan will take out 20% of the profits to "sponsor" each Tiangong Society with sufficient funds, and each Tiangong Society will provide a list to Fang Yan and others in advance during the finals, and the list will be the instant final group and the favorites in each group.
The opening of the competition is imminent, and the dialect also has the contract of the eight houses in hand, so the secrecy of the opening of the village is not so high.
After Fang Yan informed several presidents that he had opened a village, President Mu and others had a hunch that these two layers of "sponsorship fees" were likely to be unexpected surprises, and the dialect made the Tiangong Society of the Eighth Academy out of the limelight, which is not small.
Moreover, the list of participants will also be announced before the competition, but it will be handed over to the dialect a quarter of an hour in advance, which will not have any impact on the competition, so it will not be much difficult to get the finalist dialect in hand.
With this list, Fang Yan and Mrs. Yan and others can adjust the odds in advance according to the popularity of the players, and the interval between each group of games is a quarter of an hour, which is enough to deal with the prize redemption and open new odds.
In the past few days, Fang Yan followed Mrs. Yan to a few comrades-in-arms who had a good relationship with Uncle Yan and had a good character, and hired these soldiers who had holidays during the competition on the condition that they had twenty first-grade spirit stones a day and dividends after the competition.
In this way, in addition to the wife in charge, there are three to four comrades-in-arms of Uncle Yan and others to help, and there will be no vacancies in manpower.
On the opening day of the competition, Fang Yan took Xiaocai to Shuimu College, and Mrs. Yan went to take charge of the business of Tiandu College in Nancheng District, and it was inconvenient to take Xiaocai fans, so Fang Yan became a temporary nanny.
The starting point of the courtyard of Mizuki Academy is arranged near the gate of the courtyard, and the light track made by the sky magicians is still clear in the sunlight, and will not be assimilated by the sunlight, so the viewing effect must be very good.
The venue of the dialect is more than 100 meters next to the starting point, and the sign with the three big characters of "Lottery Point" stands next to it, and President Mu does it very authentically, and there is a floating text with the same content floating above the sign, and the audience can notice it from a distance.
Next to the sign is a small tent with a long table and a few stools, and on the other side of the long table is a wooden board covered with red cloth, on which are the rules of the lottery and the preliminaries written in dialect, and the final odds are marked with the word "TBD".
There were still two hours before the start of the competition, but at this time, there was already a crowd of people around the arena, and some of them with flying swords with yellow armbands on their arms knew at a glance that they were contestants.
Fang Yan noticed that near the starting point, there was also a light curtain several feet high.
"What is this?" The dialect was a little confused, and the dialect didn't believe that such a large light curtain would be useless.
It just so happened that Fang Yan caught a glimpse of Su Ran standing under the light curtain and was busy with something, and there was still some time to leave the curtain, so Fang Yan didn't go to the lottery point, and pulled the little wealth fan towards Su Ran.
"Miss Su," Fang Yan greeted Su Ran, and introduced the little wealth fan to Su Ran by the way.
"Hello sister." The little wealth fan waved his little hand at Su Ran, and his cute appearance instantly captured Su Ran.
"What a cute little sister!" Su Ran squatted down and "snatched" the little wealth fan from Fang Yan's side, but the little wealth fan didn't resist, and winked at Fang Yan in Su Ran's arms.
"Miss Su, you have a heart for this arrangement." The dialect pointed to the arrangement of the lottery points, the absolute golden position and the conspicuous floating text, which is not an ordinary heart.
"Let's not talk about the dialect of the two percent of the profit you promised to Tiangongshe, just say your idea, so that the scale of Tiangongshe has expanded by three percent, and this favor must be repaid."
Su Ran shook his head, Fang Yan still underestimated the impact of this competition on Tiangong Society, the application for admission to the club could make President Mu can't help laughing out of his back molars for several days, you can think about how hot Tiangong Society is today.
"Maybe the 20% sponsorship fee will be an even bigger surprise." Fang Yan thought silently in his heart, but this sentence Fang Yan did not speak, before seeing the actual profit, it is difficult for people who have not been exposed to gambling to imagine the huge profits.
"By the way, what's that light curtain?" Fang Yan pointed to the light curtain with some curiosity, a floating light curtain four or five stories high, which could be seen clearly by a cultivator's eyesight even from a kilometer or two away.
"Oh, that's a light curtain used to broadcast the current game situation, and it's also a pilot for the Mage Guild." Su Ran explained.
"The photo dissemination technology of the Mage Association has just been perfected, and now there is such a competition that can be used for testing, so when our Tiangong Society found the Mage Association to secondment the light department mage, they also put forward the request for the light curtain to play the real-time game situation."
"That's a really good idea." Fang Yan nodded, and saw that there were indeed several magicians wearing magic robes near the light curtain debugging the photograph crystal.
With the light curtain this live broadcast system, the competition is more enjoyable, if there is no light curtain live broadcast, most people can only see the sword light "whoosh" and disappear, the light curtain does solve a big problem.
As time passed, more and more people gathered around the arena, and Fang Yan said goodbye to Su Ran and brought a small fortune fan to the lottery spot.
There were already a lot of people around the lottery spot, and when they saw the dialect coming, the three members of the Tiangong Society hurriedly stepped forward.
"Shopkeeper Fang, you're here." A well-built member wiped the sweat from his head and said in dialect, and he pointed around, "Before you came, these people were all around us." ”
Fang Yan knew that these people should be the people who would come to supervise him as Vice Dean Lin said, and thanked the three of them for a few words, Fang Yan walked straight to the table, took a deep breath, and pulled the red cloth of the wooden board.
At the same time, the salute in the distance shook the sky, and the Flying Sword United Cup was officially opened!
