Chapter 204 College Gambling Rights
Chapter 204 College Gambling Rights
College betting rights.
This auction item instantly caused countless discussions.
The survival competition held by the Fortress Military Academy is a famous event, and the gambling market derived from it is extremely large.
In the past, when military academies found that they could not prohibit it, they took matters into their own hands and seized the benefits.
The Military Academy is the talent training base for the Ninth Army, and the commander of the Ninth Army is one of the three giants of the fortress.
The Archon, the Chairman, and the Commander are all at the pinnacle of power, second only to the semi-retired Speaker of the Fortress Council.
The commander of the army group influenced the Standing Council of the Parliament and reached a cooperation with the chairman of the council to successfully pass the secondary bill, which legalized the "College Betting Rights", but caused dissatisfaction among the consuls.
The consul manipulated the citizens to hold large-scale demonstrations and after a struggle, the right to bet became the common interest of the three giants.
The auction venue belongs to the Security Bureau, which is under the Executive Office. Eighty percent of the proceeds from the auction of the betting rights will fall into the hands of the executive officer, and the bookmaker's profits derived from the betting rights will be divided equally between the commander and the chairman.
In fact, the buyer of the college betting rights will not make much money, and considering the organization and labor costs, the outcome is likely to be a serious loss.
But it was a chance to show up in front of the Big Three, a chance to convert money into social status.
Ten years ago, a businessman used the college's gambling rights to create exaggerated profits for the Big Three, and was therefore appreciated by the chairman of the board and rose rapidly to prominence. He now holds the powerful G4 level and has become the famous Secretary-General Yin.
At this moment, the auction venue was in a complete frenzy.
Most of the businessmen who had remained silent before came here for this purpose.
"The starting price is 100 million Fortress Coins, and there is no upper limit."
"One hundred and twenty million!"
"One hundred and fifty million!"
"Twenty million!"
Funds sufficient to support a regular regiment were rapidly being swamped.
In the VIP room, Jiang He had no interest in this power. First, it was because he was short of money. Second, he would rather invest in a regular army. The capital recovery from the academy's gambling rights took too long, and this was not something that a single large gathering place could handle.
"Four hundred and fifty million!"
The huge amount of money caused the venue to fall into a brief silence, but just a few seconds later, new offers appeared.
The tycoons of the Ninth Fortress bid fiercely, and finally the auction price for the academy's gambling rights was fixed at 690 million. This money was enough to support four regular groups for a whole year.
The woman in the red dress dropped the hammer.
"The betting rights have been purchased by VIP Room No. 9. Please rest assured that any betting on the Military Academy Survival Competition, except for you, is illegal. During the competition, the Security Bureau, the Investigation Team, and the Inspection Team will severely crack down on related activities."
The Security Bureau is under the Executive Office, the Investigation Team is directly under the Board of Directors, and the Inspection Team is the picket team of the Ninth Army Group. It is backed by the three giants, and even the parliamentary families are unable to get a piece of the pie.
The heat in the venue cooled down, and countless eyes with ulterior motives were cast towards VIP room No. 9. Things like assassination would touch the bottom line of the Big Three, but other formal means of suppression would test the ability of the organizer.
But everyone knows that as long as the event and the betting are successfully concluded, VIP No. 9 will definitely be rewarded and promoted, otherwise no one will be willing to act as a black glove next time.
In the VIP room, the Chief Inspector sighed enviously: "The profit of this auction is at least 10 billion, and 80% of it will go into the hands of the Archon. He took the lion's share just by moving his mouth, and Mr. A took the smaller share. The rest of us can't even get a sip of the soup." Jiang He glanced at this guy. He now believed that the other party was the younger brother of Mr. A's deceased wife. Otherwise, with this mouth, he would not be able to make money even if he died ten times. With the authority of the Archon, there are too many ways to make money, and the right to gamble is probably just one of them.
An hour later, the auction ended.
In the night, the commercial district of the fortress is brightly lit, with shopping malls and hotels everywhere, and beautifully dressed young women can be seen everywhere on the streets. No matter how bloody things are in secret, at least the inside of the fortress appears safe and peaceful.
The Chief Inspector took a photo of the invitation, and then someone stuffed the earth dragon's body into the jeep.
"Boss Jiang, the Venus Hotel banquet will be held the night after tomorrow. Why don't we go and relax?"
The Chief Inspector introduced enthusiastically, "The commercial district is the most prosperous area in the fortress. I know the owner of the Forget This Life Hotel. The Paradise on Earth in our park was built in imitation of the Forget This Life Hotel, but because of its location, it is still a little bit off."
"You pay?"
Jiang He raised his eyebrows. This guy showed obvious closeness. It was related to the current situation. Once the Chief Inspector died, he would have countless troubles in obtaining the park development order. Because of this, the park owner was eager to kill the Chief Inspector. Now the other party's biggest protector was actually himself.
"Small problem." The Chief Inspector rubbed his hands. In terms of management ability, he might be lacking, but when it comes to how to make money, he considers himself a genius who has learned it all by himself.
"Then let's go."
Jiang He sat in the driver's seat. From the second-floor window of the auction venue behind him, a line of sight was fixed on him and the Chief Inspector the entire time. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the owner of the park who wished he could die eight hundred times. The other party would not miss this opportunity.
The jeep left the venue and headed straight for the Forget Life Hotel, which is also located in the business district.
In the Ninth Fortress, there are more than two hands count of the parliamentarians' families. There is the Tu family who is involved in hotel chains and auction houses, the Chang family who controls tobacco sales, the Ai family who dominates network information, the Yin family who runs real estate, the Jing family who produces light and heavy industrial products, and the Tong family who manufactures arms. Behind every important industry, there is a parliamentarian's family.
And Wang Jinsheng belongs to the Tu family, and this family has an unusual relationship with Mr. A.
……
At the same time, Queens.
One after another, black cars drove out from the yard of the investigation team's office building.
"Secretary-General Yin received a report from the public that Jiang He, a traitor in the investigation team, appeared at the Venus Auction in the commercial district at 2:00 p.m. This action is not official business and is the responsibility of the Secretary-General alone. All members must take off their shoulder straps. I repeat, all members must take off their shoulder straps."
In the lead car, the head of the council's newly formed special investigation team issued a notice to all his subordinates.
The Council has a total of five top-level special investigation teams. The standard for the main members must be at the level of upper-level psychics. These teams are the sharp swords of the Council.
The player Sbarasi, who was driving the lead vehicle, lit a cigarette. His hair was like a mess of bushes. He exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Vice President, this operation is the so-called token of surrender."
"Isn't this what the traitor's life is used for?"
The vice president stroked the long sword at his waist. His LV18 player level gave him enough confidence in his actions.
"The president has successfully won the college gambling rights. The funds accumulated by the guild in the past six months will soon be rewarded. As long as the seven of us can secure our positions in the special investigation team, we can escort the president and his actions and crack down on other gambling. 690 million fortress coins are all the guild has, and we must not make any mistakes."
The vice president spoke decisively.
In the last two rows of seats, the main members were silent. For this world mission, the guild used many Legion Certificates. The initial investment was a desperate gamble. Whether the overall level of the guild could be raised depended on the college's gamble this time.
