Just as Lu Yao and Pan Wen were discussing the football lottery, the leaders of the other teams also received the news. The Cao family, the Han family, and Han Qi, these three officials in the court naturally did not need to be mentioned much.
He said that they received instructions from Zhao Zhen in the early morning, telling them the competition time and specific order of the new Cuju competition.
Han Yonghe and Han Wenyuan didn't care too much. First of all, their opponent in the first round was Zhang Maocai's Wangcai team. Everyone now knows what the Wangcai team is like, and with the strength of Wenyuan team,
It should be said that defeating the Wangcai team is something that does not require too much effort at all. In this case, when the game is played and which game it is, it is not important at all to the Han family. Now Han Yonghe and
Han Wenyuan, after the previous warm-up match, it can be said that they have enough confidence in the strength of Wenyuan team, and their current focus is more on thinking about Wenyuan team's subsequent games. Their focus
Of course, it is more focused on the Wenyuan team’s second-round opponent.
In fact, the Hans and their sons can't say yet whether the Wenyuan team's opponent in the second round will be the Goshawks or their old enemy the Lions. Originally, from Han Wenyuan's point of view, this warm-up match was basically between himself and Cao.
This is the only time they have played against each other in the form of Cuju. Han Yonghe actually thinks so too. After all, Han Qi is the Privy Councilor. Han Yonghe thinks that he has a pretty good relationship with him and understands him very well. Han Qi, no matter how he starts,
Everything is done to the extreme and perfection. In addition, the members of the Goshawk team are all soldiers. With their physical fitness, it is estimated that these players under him, even Xuchang's core trio, can't do anything.
Comparatively. Therefore, it can be said that it is very difficult for Cao You's Lions team to defeat the Goshawk team in the game. Han Yonghe really can't understand why the Cao family would choose them as their opponents in the Cuju competition.
This thought lasted until the game between Wenyuan and the Lions. However, after the previous warm-up match, Han Yonghe and Han Wenyuan were at a loss. They were not sure, with the current strength of the Lions, against Cang
The Eagles seem to be somewhat sure of winning. Therefore, there is no way to determine their opponents in the second round. Judging from the performance of the second warm-up match alone, if our Wenyuan team meets the Lions in the second round,
This time it's really a fight to the death.
Considering this, in fact, Han Wenyuan has basically paid little attention to matters in the court these days. He spends more time discussing his next training direction with Xu Chang and others.
On the contrary, their old enemy, the Cao family, Cao Yi doesn't care much about the game time. Whether the game is at noon, in the morning or even at night, he feels that it has no real impact on the Lions players.
The impact is that the order of the games makes him a little complacent now. Because according to the previous order of games, the Lions played the Goshawks, which was the last game in the second half and the last of the four games in the first round.
For the Lions, this means that they will have at least a week to watch other teams' games before they go on the court for the first round of official games. This is also due to Lu Yao's previous suggestion that in each round
Before the team game, the opposing teams will each get half a day of training time. That is to say, in their previous three games, in addition to three game days, there will also be three days of training. In this way, the Lions team will have a half-day training time.
Before the start of the game, they actually had a week to prepare. And their Lions team has always used tactics to win, and all of this is due to Cao You. In fact, Cao You said about the game time that Zhao Zhen said
I'm still a little confused. Although the actual game time of a game is only half an hour, which is one hour. But this time is set at noon, and the players will definitely eat in advance at that time. And once people eat a lot
You will feel sleepy when you are full. Will this affect the competitive status of the team members? However, this is a matter decided by Lu Yao. Cao You is also a little unclear as to why Lu Yao would do this. He and the Han family have already begun to think about the second step.
The opponents in the round are different. Cao You has actually forgotten the results of the warm-up match with the Wenyuan team at this time. No matter how strong the Wenyuan team is, what changes will happen to them in the next period of time, in fact
It will not directly affect the Lions' next training. Because what Cao You thinks now is that if he really wants to defeat the Wenyuan team in the official game, then there is only one thing the Lions can do, which is to
In the first round, we defeated the Goshawk team first and then advanced to the next round. Maybe Cao Guoshu didn't know much about the Goshawk team's strength. He only knew that Han Qi didn't watch his team's training on weekdays, but because Han Qi didn't
After attending the game, I felt that the Goshawk team was about the same strength as the Wangcai team, and it was a very stupid act to rely on oneself to win.
Cao You did not miss every training. He also knew that the Goshawk team was dominated by Gu Liang, and their training content was more than that of the other seven teams. Therefore, if he wanted to defeat them, he still had to practice more.
It takes effort.
The most indifferent among the three is Han Qi. Since Fan Zhongyan returned to Bianliang, Han Qi has been busy following the Cuju competition with Gu Liang, and on the other hand, he has to deal with the Xixia war with Fan Zhongyan. He knows that he
He had to go to Xixia. He went with Fan Zhongyan. Maybe, based on the results of this imperial examination, he would bring a few new people with him to handle the political affairs of Xixia. Therefore, regarding the Cuju competition, Han Qi could not help but
It was handed over to Gu Liang. Winning was naturally a good thing, and Han Qi didn't feel any shame in losing. What he was more concerned about these days was the imperial examination. Most of the papers have probably been corrected now. In fact, in
When the official competition begins, it is estimated that the results of this test will already be out, but because Zhao Zhen made a decree that the results must be announced after the first round of competition, so even if the scores are out, they must be
In a state of confidentiality. However, when the time comes, one or two people can still be named who will have good grades. Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan already have people they want to focus on.
In addition to these three teams, the Huangtian team was just called over by Zhao Zhen to personally tell them the order and time of the game. At this time, Wang Da and Wang Yi were also discussing about changing the order of the game.
In fact, in their opinion, the one who should pay more attention to the order of appearance in this game is their opponent in the first round, Chen Chen of the grassroots team. Wang Da and Wang Yi never imagined that Chen Chen did not need an extra day of training time.
, but they directly agreed to adjust the game between the Grassroots Team and the Royal Sky Team to the first game. Although the two of them were not very educated, they had somewhat guessed the reason for the first game. After all, the name of the Royal Team was still very important.
Loud. The reason why Chen Chen agreed to change the order of the competition was for two reasons. The first was to better build momentum for the competition and attract more spectators to watch the competition. The first competition was Royal Cuju.
The audience was naturally very happy when the team made their debut. And the second king still seemed to look down on the Huangtian team. This reason made the second king feel a little uncomfortable. No matter how you say his team is the Royal Cuju team.
Even after watching Chen Chen's first warm-up match, Wang Da and Wang Yi didn't think that this grassroots team would be the opponent of their Huangtian team in the official game. They could only say that they might
It will bring trouble to themselves. But it is still impossible for them to defeat the Huangtian team. Since Chen Chen is so anxious to lose to his own team, he should try his best to make Chen Chen's grassroots team lose.
He was so convinced that he regretted agreeing to adjust the order of the competition.
The other two team leaders are Yang Tao of the Tigers and Zhang Maocai of the Wangcai team. The leaders of these two teams received orders from Zhao Zhen in the morning. Let’s talk about Zhang Maocai first.
, what was he doing at this time? In fact, since being affected by the warm-up match, Zhang Maocai actually thought about improving the strength of the Wangcai team, but he found that the members of the Wangcai team were following each other one by one.
My own mentality is the same. In modern terms, it’s just two words: bad. This made Zhang Maocai, who was originally enthusiastic, finally had to give up prosperity along with the team members after persuading him to no avail.
The next targeted training of the team. Therefore, Zhang Maocai actually devoted himself to the inn management again during these days. And just in these few days, Zhang Maocai learned that Lu Yao had come to the outer city many times to check. After his inquiries,
Next, I also knew that Lu Yao had begun to understand some things about the outer city. With Zhang Maocai's keen business sense, he felt that Lu Yao's visit to the outer city was definitely not just to see the Bird's Nest Stadium. And if Lu Yao wanted to
If someone has something to do in the outer city, they will definitely come to him. After all, his status in this outer city is actually similar to Pan Yuanwu's Fan Tower's status in the inner city. In this case, he will wait for Lu Yao to come to him.
alright.
The last person to receive the order was Yang Tao of the Tigers. To be precise, it was Zhao Hu who received the order and then conveyed it to Yang Tao. After all, the nominal leader of the Tigers was still Zhao Hu. Yang Tao had nothing to do with adjusting the order of the game.
Other thoughts, after all, the duel between himself and the Fan Lou team was only postponed for one day, and the strength of both teams will not change significantly because of this.
"Are you confident that you can defeat the Fan Lou team?" Zhao Hu and Yang Tao suddenly asked after conveying the above meaning.
Zhao Hu's sudden question did not surprise Yang Tao. In his impression, Boss Zhao came to participate in this Cuju competition more with the mentality of participating more, but now looking at his questioning posture
, seems to want to let himself perform well.
Yang Tao was a little puzzled, so he expressed his confusion. Zhao Hu smiled and said that his mentality in participating in this new Cuju competition has never changed, and he still focuses on participating. After all, he agreed with Pan Yuanwu in the first place.
Participating in this new Cuju competition was also due to the deep relationship between the Pan family and the Zhao family. He also had to give Pan Yuanwu face. If he really wanted to win from the beginning, he would not have let Pan Wen be responsible for selecting the team members and leading them at the beginning.
We trained together.
Hearing this, Yang Tao was even more puzzled, so why does Zhao Hu seem to have a change in attitude now? Zhao Hu said that it was because he had recently begun to focus on the matter of football lottery. Although the specific details of football lottery are still unclear.
It was not determined, but at the beginning, Zhao Zhen gave the winning team the final reward, which was the right to operate the football lottery. At that time, Lu Yao and Zhao Zhen also told everyone the basic knowledge of football lottery. Zhao Hu originally
He still doesn’t quite understand it, but in the recent period, the efficiency of his food sales has not been particularly good. He actually had the idea of changing his career, so he started to care about football lottery. He felt that this might be
Just give yourself a chance to change careers. Even if you don’t know much about the football lottery industry, this is the reward for the winning team. What’s more, the lottery industry and football lottery are in the same line. The support of the royal family will definitely be indispensable later. It’s okay to lose money.
Impossible things.
Zhao Hu told Yang Tao that he had the idea of changing careers. The reason why he told Yang Tao today was because Zhao Hu regarded Yang Tao as his confidant and hoped that he could understand his feelings and train the Tigers well.
Yang Tao agreed immediately, but in his heart, Yang Tao had already made plans to compete with Pan Wen in the official competition. Yang Tao thinks about it now, even if Pan Wen doesn't always mention Lu Yao in front of him, he and Pan Wen
Pan Wen and Chen Chen still couldn't get together in the end. The reason was simple: they were not the same person.
In this case, there is no question of losing face. In the game, the hero must be judged by victory or defeat in the end. For his own Tigers, Yang Tao is full of confidence in these people, and there is still a great chance that he can win in the game.
Defeated the Fan Lou team in the official match.
Pan Wen, this rich young man, how could he lose to a person like him who pampers himself every day?
"Ah sneeze!"
In the Lu Mansion, Pan Wen sneezed loudly and then said, "Who is it? Someone must be scolding me behind my back."
Lu Yao smiled. It had been an hour since Pan Wen came to Lu Mansion. During this period, Lu Yao gave Pan Wen the manuscript he had compiled on football lottery to read. The reason why he wanted to give it to Pan Wen to study.
There are two points.
First, at this time, Pan Wen should be considered a senior lottery player.
He has invested a lot in the lottery industry. It seems that he has figured out the rules of the lottery industry now, but his character is like this. Even though he knows that the lottery is more likely to lose more than win, he still can't resist buying it himself.
Some things. Lu Yao showed Pan Wen something about football lottery because he wanted him to use his long experience in lottery to find out if there were any loopholes in the manuscript he had written, that is, to improve it.
The second is Pan Wen's understanding of these eight teams and his concentration on the game. At this point, Lu Yao actually doesn't think Pan Wen will be the leader of the team who is most serious about the game. Cao You and Chen Chen are here
They may do better than Pan Wen in all aspects, but of those two people, one is a poor commoner and the other is not worried about money at all. Obviously it is impossible for them to make some comments on football lottery. Although Pan Wen's economy is not as good as
problem, but his obsession with lottery tickets and concentration on the game just got a balance. Using this, Lu Yao could discuss with Pan Wen and make a rough estimate of the odds, including the strength, of each team.
Rating, so that when the football lottery is actually opened to the outside world, there will be a reference, so that the team level and odds will not be too outrageous.
Of course, in addition to these two reasons, Lu Yao naturally had his own selfish motives when he found Pan Wen to read these manuscripts. As mentioned repeatedly before, Lu Yao still hoped in his heart that Pan Wen's Fan Lou team could win this time.
The final winning team in the Cuju competition will be beneficial to Lu Yao's next plan.
But judging from Pan Wen's reaction now, it is obvious that he is still a single-celled organism. He thinks about whatever he wants. He definitely cannot hold many things in his mind. Sometimes Lu himself is very envious of Pan Wen for this.
, live in the present, just deal with the current things, this way there will be a lot less worries. For Pan Wen, the most important thing now is to deal with the football lottery. These manuscripts can be said to have allowed Pan Wen to enter a world where
In the new world, no matter how in-depth he has studied the lottery before, or how much money he has spent on the lottery, in the final analysis, he still understands the lottery from the perspective of a lottery player and game participant. Maybe he has a deep understanding of the mechanism and
Pan Wen has some ideas of his own in terms of improving the probability of winning the lottery, but they are all based on the large sums of money he has spent.
Now Pan Wen's perspective is completely different. He is thinking about football lottery from the perspective of a game rule maker, and all aspects must be taken into consideration. Of course, the most troublesome thing for Pan Wen is the odds.
The problem, to put it bluntly, is to determine the strength of the team, and then make a dynamic and small adjustment to their odds based on the strength. Of course, there is no need to say more about the Wangcai team. Pan Wen can safely give an evaluation of their strength.
, of course, after Pan Wen and Lu Yao communicated with each other about the teams that participated in the two warm-up matches, they were able to make a rough evaluation, but for the teams that have not yet played, it is very difficult to make a decision.
and rated.
In the end, Pan Wen and Lu Yao spent the whole morning roughly determining the operating rules and thresholds of football lottery, as well as the price of buying football lottery and how to win the lottery. As for the odds, the two of them only have one
The general direction, but Lu Yao also said that it is good to be able to do what it is now. The football lottery launched at the same time as the first round of games is still in a process of exploration. The odds at that time can be set slightly more evenly, so that the people can
Even if we lose money, the psychological pressure and gap will not be that big.
Then, they analyzed the performance and strength of the four winning teams again after the first round. In this way, when the second round of official competition begins, there will be a more accurate team.
The strength and odds are determined. People can also get higher profits from their bets.
After talking about the football lottery, Pan Wen saw that the time was almost up, so he thought of going to Fanlou with Lu Yao for a meal. However, Lu Yao said that since he had important things to do in the afternoon, he would not eat at noon.
The second thing is what Pan Wen told him as soon as he arrived at the Lu Mansion today about handing over 200,000 yuan tomorrow. He hoped that Pan Wen could return home quickly and hand over the contract he had written to Pan Yuanwu. At the same time, Lu Yao also
Ask Tang Xi to go with Pan Wen, settle the contract directly with Pan Yuanwu, and then confirm the money handover tomorrow.
Regarding the second point, no matter how stupid Pan Wen is, it is understandable. After all, this is not a matter of two guans or two thousand guans. This is two hundred thousand guans. This amount of money was sent from Pan Yuanwu's treasury to Lu Yao's bank.
, the security work in this process is very important. Just sending the money plus storing it will probably take more than half a day. For this reason, Pan Wen proposed to call Chen Chen and the members of their two teams when sending the money tomorrow.
Come along, it will be safer this way. Lu Yao agreed without saying anything. He happened to have important matters to discuss with Chen Chen.
When Pan Wen heard this, he quickly asked what was going on, but Lu Yao seemed to have no intention of telling him. Pan Wen was not angry either. After all, he came to Lu Yao today to discuss the football lottery matter, which Chen Chen didn't know either.
state.
"What are you busy with this afternoon? Aren't the football lottery and bank accounts almost done? Why do you still have something to be busy with? There are still a few days until the game, so there is no rush at this moment." So, Pan Wencha
Open the topic and start asking Lu Yao what he will be busy with this afternoon.
Lu Yao smiled and said, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm just busy at home."
When Pan Wen heard this, he felt that Lu Yao should still think about the manuscript at home. Unexpectedly, Lu Yao continued: "What I am busy with is not writing the manuscript. If this matter is completed, I will tell you next time."
have a look."
"It's a deal." Although Pan Wen was very interested in what Lu Yao would be doing at home soon, he could also see that Lu Yao didn't seem to want to tell him directly, so he left very wisely. Of course, his companions
There is also Tangxi. Lu Yao sent him to go to Pan Wen's house with Pan Wen to completely settle matters regarding the contract and the handover of the money tomorrow.
"Well, there should be nothing else to do today. We should start preparing to cut the meat. I can't wait." After the two left, Lu Yao said with a smile.
