In addition, the construction of the Colosseum has already begun. On the day of the foundation stone, Wu Lai went to attend the groundbreaking ceremony and gave a speech in which he certainly talked about the purpose and significance of building the gladiatorial arena. But many people scoff at it. The gladiatorial arena, which cost a lot of money, did not mean anything in the eyes of the citizens.

The huge gladiatorial arena in the shape of a bird's nest is time-consuming and laborious to design and build for ordinary people, and there are also many technical problems that are difficult to solve, but for cultivators, these are not problems.

Three months later, a magnificent building rose in the center of Tianluo City, covering an area of dozens of acres, shaped like a huge bird's nest, which could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, and became the landmark of Tianluo City. Wu Lai has always been very concerned about the construction of the Bird's Nest, and often went to inspect it, and of course he also put forward a lot of opinions. For the skills of the craftsmen in the cultivation realm, Wu Lai still admires them.

When the gladiatorial arena was built, Wu Lai went to see it again.

Liu Yi led him around, and then proudly introduced the uses of each place. According to Wu Lai's plan, the entire gladiatorial arena is divided into three areas, one area is naturally a arena for resolving personal grievances, and of course, this area occupies the smallest area. One area is the real gladiatorial arena, entering the gladiatorial arena, on both sides of the white jade steps, there are countless knives, axes, hooks, ropes, swords, guns, painted halberds, spears, giant hammers, iron locks, chains, maces, crescent shovels...... and so on thousands of weapons, giving people a murderous feeling. This is what Wu Lai requested, since it is a gladiatorial arena, it is necessary to create this atmosphere.

The gladiatorial arena is divided into very fine, there are places for gladiatorial battles of the same level, Jindan period to Jindan period, Yuan infant period to Yuan infant stage, there are also places for leapfrogging challenges, divided into different floors, of course, all around are stands for spectators to watch, the stands include VIP seats, private rooms and ordinary seats. The last area is the auction house. This auction house was added later, which was proposed by the Chamber of Commerce. In the past, every time they held a big auction, they had to build a temporary auction hall and tear it down when the auction was over, which was too wasteful. If a permanent large-scale auction house was to be established, it could be done once and for all, and Wu Lai agreed.

Wu Lai followed Liu Yi to the area to settle personal grievances, although this area is small, but it is fully functional, with a ring, a stand, and a betting table. There is a strong defensive barrier between the ring and the stands. The reason why there is a certain fee is because it also costs money to set up this barrier, and it also costs to build this platform, so it is natural to charge a fee.

This area is naturally directly managed by the City Lord's Mansion, which can avoid private fights in the city. The profit here is not high, and the chamber of commerce will not want it. However, Wu Lai is very satisfied with this area.

Coming to the gladiatorial area, Wu Lai took a closer look and was silent.

Seeing Wu Lai like this, Liu Yi asked suspiciously, "City Lord, are you dissatisfied?"

Wu Lai groaned: "A place like this is a very bloody and exciting place, it doesn't need to be too gorgeous, it's really a waste for you to arrange it so gorgeously." ”

Liu Yi said anxiously: "According to the opinion of the city lord, what should it be?"

Wu Lai pointed to the front and said: "See, the unnecessary guardrails and screens are all removed, just try to be as simple as possible." ”

Liu Yi hesitated: "This-"

Wu Lai asked rhetorically: "Why, don't you believe what the city lord said?"

Liu Yi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No." ”

Seeing that Liu Yi didn't seem to believe what he said, Wu Lai didn't care.

After looking at the various floors, Liu Yi asked sincerely, "City Lord, now that this main site has been built, how can we get benefits?"

Wu Lai laughed and pointed: "Since it is a gladiatorial arena, there must be gladiators." Of course, in the beginning, there were no such gladiators, so we needed to send our own people to the field, and we couldn't be cold. For example, send the guards of your Chamber of Commerce to the stage and put on a show. However, this kind of competition is not a point-and-point battle, it is a real fight, maybe both sides will be damaged, but as long as you grasp the proportion, it will not be fatal. Gradually, through guò propaganda and promises of high remuneration, more people will join the ranks of gladiators, and when the time comes, there will be no need for us to find people ourselves. ”

Liu Yi asked with some disbelief, "What if no one joins?"

Wu Lai said categorically: "This is impossible. Playing a game, if it is well promoted, there will definitely be a lot of spectators who come to watch. For example, for example, in the Jindan period against the Jindan period, the ticket fee is ten high-grade spars, if there are 1,000 people watching, you can earn 10,000 spars, and some people place bets, betting on one of them to win, you can also have a lot of income. When the game is over, we will reward the winner with 1,000 high-grade hedrons. It only takes one match, and that winner can earn a thousand high-grade spars, and such a high reward will attract many people. There will definitely be more people coming to challenge in order to earn hedrons. There is also a category of people who participate in such competitions not just for the sake of hedrons, but for the sake of seeking breakthroughs, so there will definitely be a steady stream of people joining the ranks of gladiators. ”

Liu Yi suddenly realized, and said respectfully: "I see, I said how confident the city lord is." I would also like to ask the lord of the castle for more advice. ”

Wu Lai waved his hand and said, "Don't dare to point." Just now, the lord of the city said that the unnecessary guardrails and screens should be removed, so as to vacate more places, in case there are many people watching the game and there are not enough places, what should we do? At this time, these empty places will have a great effect. When the seat tickets are sold out, you can also sell standing tickets. The price of a standing ticket is the same as that of a sitting ticket. ”

"The price of a standing ticket is the same as a sitting ticket, is that okay?"

"The lord of this city says it's okay, they like to buy it or not. Don't you interrupt the way?Wait for the city lord to tell you slowly. Adopt a strategy of selling tickets in advance, reserve some seats, even if the tickets are not sold out, tell the person who bought the tickets that they are sold out, and send their own people to sell these reserved seats privately outside the ticket office, each at a price of 1. 5 or even 2 times the ticket price is sold. After the game starts, send people directly to sell small benches and sell them to those who buy standing tickets, and the price of each bench is the same as sitting tickets. Han Xue, who was accompanying him, asked in a low voice beside him, "Lai, why does it sound so familiar?" Song Jia and He Wen also showed puzzled expressions.

Wu Lai smiled and said, "You will know if you have taken the train in Huaxia." Train tickets cost the same price as station tickets. ”

Han Xue nodded: "I said, I see." ”
