Blackstone Code Chapter 1379: We really love sports!

Many people believe that Millionaire's success is due to the million.

Yes, it does make a big difference, but it's not all.

People like to watch it because a lot of people at the bottom see themselves in these players.

Perhaps these players in some way have the potential to represent the majority of the bottom line, and people want them to win, like telling yourself in the mirror "you're going to make it."

The only thing the people at the bottom have left is empathy, and they can even sigh at the bankruptcy of the rich!

Naturally there is no shortage of feeling a special, intense satisfaction in the success of the players they support!

In addition, there is human nature.

The sinking and struggle of human nature, as well as confrontation, are also a major attraction.

When people start "fighting" for money, it's full of conditions to keep watching!

In the final game, the camera did not show everyone what the cards were, which meant that the audience was also betting.

At this moment, a subtitle ad suddenly appeared at the bottom of the screen.

“If you know the answer, please call xx-xxx-xxx-xx immediately to submit the answer. As long as you answer correctly, we will draw 20 lucky viewers from the correct answerers and reward them with 1,000 gold coupons…”

Maybe people don't notice, maybe they notice but don't care, there is a fee to make this call, but it's not expensive, it only costs a dollar!

A dollar is not much, and a dollar to bet a thousand dollars seems like a good deal.

The next moment, the TV station's call room was completely busy.

Capital is never benevolent, merciful, it is always dirty and ugly, because it can make all compromises for profit!

"That No. 4 player is very cunning, he almost diverted his firepower!", Catherine accurately assessed the treachery of No. 4 player.

Player #4 is actually a teacher who lost his job and was expelled from the school because he reported something to the school board about what happened in the school.

He lost his job and offended some people, and he ended up being the school's principal with nothing at all, and he was completely shut out of the local education system.

No one likes someone who breaks some unspoken rule, not even a school.

A loyal, honest teacher who also insists on morality. At this time, he also began to give up some things for the "ideal".

Or to wake something up.

These were originally his masters!

Lynch adds, "In fact, Harry's odds are the lowest of all institutions..."

Catherine was a little confused. She didn't know much about the gaming syndicate, "so he's actually the lowest approval rating?"

"People don't think he can win?"

Lynch shook his head and gave her some common sense, "This shows that the most talented people support him, and the most people believe that he can win the final victory. There is no problem with the strategy of No. 4 player, there is a problem. It's the other two."

"They just ignored Harry's stability and threat in the game because of the points. They can only say that they are a bit...", Lynch pouted, "...a bit stupid."

Harry may seem like a normal person, but he has the most people betting on him, which is actually quite telling, and people look up to him.

If it's just one person, two people, it may be a problem of vision, but most people are optimistic about him, which shows that he is indeed a candidate for the championship.

Catherine confessed her ignorance about gambling, and at the same time, she thought of a very strange question.

"Have they been infringed by using your show as a bet?"

Since becoming a city councillor, she has been exposed to some infringement-related cases, and sometimes she feels that the law may be too strict.

But the law is the law, and it also made her realize that if the bookmakers did, then did they infringe Lynch?

Because they use Lynch's show for their own profit, which is obviously wrong, let's not say whether it's legal or not, at least it's immoral and not correct.

Lynch acted indifferently, "We signed an agreement, and every season, they would give me a million and five percent of the total revenue, so I agreed with them to do this, or you Do you think they dare to be so messy?"

Actually this is more complicated than Katherine imagined and Lynch said.

There are many "invisible" industries in the Federation. These industries do not usually attract much attention. The "concern" mentioned here is people's curiosity about their profitability.

For example, education.

No one would demand that every education group publish its annual reports and various results as they did to companies listed on the Bourbon Exchange.

People don't even think about doing it because they think... no, they don't think, they don't think education can make much money at all.

Maybe this is the case when talking about college tuition, most of the time they don't pay attention to it.

Another example is medical care.

The same profiteering is even a semi-monopoly industry, but people have the highest tolerance for it. Not only are no one going to trouble them, but sometimes there are problems with the hospital system, and many people spontaneously maintain hospital system.

And, the gaming industry.

Few people care about how profitable the gaming industry is, exactly how much money it makes each year, and its composition, the composition of shareholders, the composition of equity in the hands of shareholders and more complex issues.

If someone really did that, it would be found that one of the biggest supporters of the United Games is actually the private equity fund indirectly controlled by the shareholders of the gaming group.

These funds transfer a large amount of funds into the corporate account of the United Sports Association every year, as well as high-level accounts, on the grounds that they support the development of federal sports. In fact, the gambling group and the United Sports Association are behind the scenes!

Betting is something that definitely needs something to gamble, and nothing is more suitable than intense sports.

Strong competition and uncertainty allow bookmakers to make money from sports events at all levels in the Federation every year. In order to ensure that these things that can help them make money do not collapse, they have become the biggest push for sports progress. one of the contributors.

This sounds funny, but it's not, after all, it's the tendency of capital to pursue profit!

Before, there were rumors of collusion between bookmakers and athletes, but it disappeared quickly, and even the people who reported it disappeared.

Whoever dares to stand in the middle of the lane when faced with huge interests will be smashed to pieces!

Lynch made this show not only did not spend a penny, but also made crazy money.

Sometimes making money is as simple as he said.

The game continues.

Harry and Number Four have each dropped a card, and it's normal for Harry to drop points.

He hasn't come out of the previous way of playing the game, which limited the players' thinking to various fixed clues.

Give you a yellow, you have to think around the yellow, but now it is different, free question and answer completely let go of the limitations of thinking.

A lot of things got easier all of a sudden, like Harry thought baseball would last at least seven or eight questions at first, but just two questions almost killed him.

Balls, big fields, just a few types of **** need big fields. When I continued to question him, the question was "Is this thing allowed to roll during the game?"

One outright kills Harry, and Harry's reverse questioning also kills player number four.

In fact, they came here in the morning. In addition to the various rules of the game, they also had to sign some contracts.

If any of them wins the championship, they will continue to promote the show for free, and also cooperate with TV stations for free to shoot another documentary-like show - "New Born Millionaire" 》

This program will document the series of changes that occur when a person suddenly goes from being poor to having more than one million. What will happen to their life, family, social interaction, will become something that attracts people.

As this book always tells everyone, capital will always go a few steps ahead of those who are exploited and oppressed.

These people have signed these contracts. Even if they become millionaires, they will continue to contribute their popularity to Lynch and the TV station!

They spent the whole morning learning about these things. Of course, the TV station also told them bluntly. After signing the agreement, the TV station will help them integrate into their new life.

Including but not limited to introducing some new friends to them, or when they need it, the TV station can also provide them with some help and channels that do not involve interest transactions.

At noon they had a working meal on TV.

Federal lunch is basically like that, everyone is busy, and the Chinese food is relatively simple.

Today's Chinese food is a little richer, after all, there are so many unreasonable contracts signed.

So there's steak and chicken for lunch, which is what most Commonwealths eat the most~IndoMTL.com~ Harry's question is--"Is it on our lunch menu today?"

The fourth player recalled and shook his head, while Harry gave a direct answer, sheep.

Although the Federation has a long coastline, in fact... people are not very keen on eating fish.

For families, the complexity of making fish steaks is a problem, and it is difficult to make them as tasty as steaks.

In an era of lack of various seasonings, fishy smell is one of the main reasons people don't eat fish.

Remove the option of fish, which is common in life, and the federal people don't like to eat pork, so the only option left is sheep.

Harry decides to take a gamble, and he's right.

The strategy of No. 4 is the same as his, hoping to do more confusion on some questions, ignoring the fact that the questioner can simply ignore many invalid answers!

They all decided to switch strategies and decided to band together and form a temporary alliance!
