Chapter 409: New Money-Making Projects

Due to the large number of players in the competition, even many people have already started to prepare below before they go on the field. There are even some dishes that take a lot of effort to prepare, and the preparation has been started a few days earlier, and the first audition has not been completed at the end of this day.

Not only that, but it took five days to finally end the audition work in Yangzhou. After these five days of "fermentation", "A Bite of Datang" has reached the hot stage that has been paid attention to by almost the entire Datang.

The success of Yangzhou Match Point not only laid a good foundation for the organization of the entire event, but also really made Li Anran experience that the phrase "masters in the people" can not only be used in modern time and space, but also in Datang.

Among the top 20 in the audition, although most of them were occupied by famous restaurants and wine shops in Yangzhou, there are still a small number of families from ordinary people, and two of them are self-taught.

What makes Li Anran feel that the reality is far more exaggerated than the novel is that there is also a guy who can pull down the masters in several time-honored restaurants, not only does a woman dress up as a man to participate in the competition, but also can write a novel in terms of life experience.

According to the writing method of modern time-space Internet popular novels, in the struggle for interests, the protagonist who died in the middle of his father's death can definitely be regarded as a protagonist who is forced to the extreme. And this time, "The Tang Dynasty on the Bite of the Tongue" has invisibly become an opportunity for the other party to rise.

Looking at the news from the people below, Li Anran didn't know whether he should laugh or feel sad for the other party. But. It doesn't matter if it's better to laugh or cry, since the other party has participated in this competition, there is naturally no reason to let the other party continue to suffer injustice.

Therefore, after figuring out the whole story, Li Anran didn't bother to go through Li Shimin's hands again, but went out in person and directly cleaned up the guy who always had the identity of a good person on weekdays, but actually made friends for money, and the pit was miserable.

As for how to clean it up, it was just too easy. Send a mechanical insect to bite while the other party is in the toilet. Inject the potion stored in the body into it. Then there was a "poof", and this one fell directly into the pit.

can't blame Li Anran for being so ruthless, it's really that this person's behavior is almost the same as Jiang Beihe in "The Peerless Double Pride". For this kind of guy who looks sanctimonious on the surface, but in fact knows the yin people as soon as he has a bad stomach. It's a cheap way to die.

Except for this "Ebetsutsu". Li Anran also used official channels. A good warning was given to a few guys who had more or less entanglements with the contestants. Thanks to these people's methods of doing things, they can only be said to be too snobbish, and they can't be miscalculated from the other party's point of view, otherwise. God knows how many will drown in the thatched pit of Langdao.

The event here in Yangzhou, with the live broadcast of the radio station and the special page of the newspaper, soon became a very hot topic in Datang. Even among the people, some people have begun to make bankers to bet on the results of the next event.

Li Anran was very angry about this matter!

Just kidding, I am the mastermind behind "A Bite of the Tang Dynasty", cough cough, I am the mastermind behind the scenes, gambling is not my own banker, it is really an uncle who can bear it, and an aunt who can't bear it.

So, before the start of the competition in Quanzhou, those people, wealthy businessmen or dignitaries who have been paying attention to the events on their side found that those little guys who sell newspapers on the streets and alleys every day actually began to sell one thing again, the odds book.

Since someone made a bet for "The Tang Dynasty on the Bite of the Tongue" in Zhilu Dao, Li Anran directly borrowed the gambling methods of modern space-time horse racing and made a gambling rule that is more in line with the time-space policies and customs of Datang.

This rule, which has been sorted out by the intelligent brain Kotana on the multi-functional exploration spacecraft, can not only be used in "A Bite of the Tang Dynasty", except for some terms and procedures specially set up for the event, the general rules can be applied to almost any gambling project.

In order to prevent this rule from being thrown aside so violently after "The Tang on the Bite of the Tongue", Li Anran also asked Cortana to formulate gambling rules for a series of sports such as horse racing, keju (football), basketball, tennis, golf, fighting, baseball, rugby, billiards, greyhound racing, track and field, swimming, etc.

After reading these detailed rules and analyzing the money situation of these gambling projects, Li Anran decisively found that the road to a commercial power that he talked about before did not seem to be as good as this thing, at least not in terms of the speed of effect.

It's just that, after thinking about it carefully, Li Anran also knows that this gambling industry can indeed make money, but it is not of much benefit to a strong country. At most, it can make the treasury richer, but if you are not careful, the huge benefits will blind the eyes and hearts of some people, and eventually make the gambling industry a tool for someone or someone to accumulate money.

After weighing the pros and cons of developing the gaming industry, Li Anran could only shake his head helplessly and decided to catch all these industries in his own hands. Of course, in terms of taxes, you must pay more land, anyway, you only care about the process, not how much money you can make.

Considering the various problems encountered in the preparation of "A Bite of the Tang Dynasty". Zhilu Dao was too greedy before, and wanted to eat a fat man in one breath to make the event bigger. After Li Anran made the decision to enter the gambling industry, he did not spread the stall as big as before, but let Xiangyun start to acquire idle wasteland near Chang'an City or surrounding counties.

After all, almost all of the previous gambling projects were inseparable from sports. Since we want to do it, and we want to do it well, we naturally can't just work on "software", but also on hardware.

As for the question of when such a large investment will recover the cost, in Li Anran's view, it is not a problem at all.

Just like the famous Water Cube in modern time and space, although it was originally built to become one of the main competition venues for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. But in reality, only a few days did the Olympics take place?

After the Water Cube is built, especially after the end of the Olympic Games, it will generate more profits than during the Olympic Games.

What's more, Datang is not as good as modern time and space, and if you want to make money by engaging in competitions, you have to take advantage of the Olympics, Asian Games or large-scale events. Here, Li Anran can completely make his own decisions and make an event without an event.

Of course, this event can't be held every day, but it doesn't matter, anyway, there are so many sports betting projects, and one once a month is completely different, and this can also take into account some projects that are more climate-demanding.

For example, in games, you can't make people jump into the water in the winter. Even if the contestants don't care, the audience is rarely willing to watch the contestants "swing" while being cold.

Of course, if Li Anran really wants to do it, he will definitely be able to do it better than the top swimming tube of modern time and space. But when you think about it, these high-tech equipment with large-scale central air conditioning and water quality monitoring not only require a lot of investment, but also need corresponding professional manpower to maintain and operate, and it is decided to only get out the building and main facilities.

When the time comes, it's a big deal to have a winter shutdown, and it's really not okay, and among these sports events, aren't there also skating, skiing, curling, ice hockey and other sports that can be held in winter. When the time comes, let those who are willing to freeze go to see it.

But it is not so easy to really do the gambling industry, especially in the time and space of Datang.

Unless Li Anran just intends to make a small fuss, otherwise, not to mention policy, management, and operational issues, the inconvenience of capital flow alone will cause great inconvenience.

After all, the Tang Dynasty still uses copper coins as the main currency, and one tael of silver will cost 1,000 copper coins according to the official exchange rate.

So, in order to avoid the officials of the Tang Dynasty from being involved in the shady scene of gambling, Li Anran, who decided to do it himself, took advantage of the situation to open a money bank in Chang'an and Luoyang, called the People's Bank of the Celestial Dynasty. (To be continued......)
