Qiang Zhaojun shook his head and laughed: "Speaking of Xiao Zhang, when did I say that Xiao Chu would not be allowed to participate? If you poach people, you won't poach me, right?" To be honest, although he was a little angry just now, he was still Not to let Chu Chen not participate in the competition, not to mention that Yi Hongguo has been his friend for many years, because the energy of the Yi Hongguo family is also very great, and sometimes he has to rely on Yi Hongguo. ¡° If Chu Chen is not allowed to participate this time, it is likely to cause a gap between him and Yi Hongguo. He will not do this kind of thing. As for this piece of wool, if it really depends on the green skin, then even if Yi Hongguo owes him a favor, he will not suffer any loss. Chu Chen was not surprised by Qiang Zhaojun's performance. After all, this piece of wool is indeed not suitable for competitions in the eyes of ordinary people. Even the 8.8 kilogram piece of yellow sand skin is more suitable than it, but that piece of wool is not suitable for competition. The jadeite in the yellow sand skin was so precious that he only wanted to collect it for himself and did not want to display it in front of everyone now. So to be on the safe side, he could only use this piece of wool that seemed to be "green in skin" to compete in the competition. A group of people followed Qiang Zhaojun into the processing factory, but even with Qiang Zhaojun leading the way, the people at the door still looked at Chu Chen's and their IDs, which somewhat reflected the importance that some organizers attached to this competition. . As soon as Chu Chen and the others entered the processing plant, they felt like they were at a gathering. On one side of the processing plant, there were more than 300 spectators sitting densely, most of whom were related employees of the village. In fact, if it weren¡¯t for the organizer¡¯s regulations that limited the number of people who could come here to watch, the number of people who wanted to come would probably have been four or five times as many as now. Chu Chen was just about to take a look at the environment. He was pulled by Zhang Yanbin to the registration office set aside. The two handed over their IDs and materials, and then filled out a simple form respectively. After the staff completed the relevant procedures, they sat down at the contestants' seats set up next to them. at this time. There were already more than a dozen players sitting here, and most of them knew Zhang Yanbin. Except for Luo Qiming, everyone else greeted Zhang Yanbin politely. "However, in Zhang Yanbin's view, these people are almost fake to him. It's true that he wants to know Chu Chen. Everyone is very interested in Chu Chen. Basically everyone wants to ask him who Chu Chen is. It wasn¡¯t until Zhang Yanbin couldn¡¯t bear the harassment and loudly said that Chu Chen was a player invited by Qiang Zhaojun, and that he was a better player than Leng Shamingdu, that they gave up. certainly. Many people had scornful looks in their eyes, and they all had one thought in their minds: This guy is bragging, is this guy more powerful than Leng Shaming? If he is more powerful than Leng Shaming, then this person will have to chase the Jade King directly. How talented is this person? Thinking about it, you know that this is impossible! Luo Qiming, who was sitting next to him, sneered secretly: "More powerful than Leng Shaming. How is it possible! I can't even compare to Leng Shaming, let alone this little-known young man? Hehe, I want to see this guy when I get there soon. How are your results? If not, then you can take the opportunity to humiliate Zhang Yanbin!" Chu Chen and Zhang Yanbin chatted all the time, and slowly he learned the rules of the competition from Zhang Yanbin. To put it simply, for the players, there are only five steps in the competition: solving the stone, determining the ranking, selecting wool, solving the stone, and determining the ranking. And for the audience. There are six steps. Observe the player's wool, and then choose the wool you like to place a bet on. If this wool can enter the second round, you will win. Then proceed to place bets on the second round. Of course, which piece of wool is selected in the second round can win the championship. Chu Chen didn't expect that there was actually a gambling game here. He asked Zhang Yanbin in a low voice, "Isn't this a bit sensitive?" Zhang Yanbin smiled and said, "Haha, this is just to liven up the atmosphere. Besides, there is no money to bet. High, the maximum total bet cannot exceed 10,000 yuan! Besides, the odds of any piece of wool here are only one to one, and there is no problem of getting rich if you win the bet." "In that case, After two rounds of competition, the organizer can make hundreds of thousands just from betting, right? Hey, this is wrong!" Speaking of this, Chu Chen thought of something: "That Leng Shaming is so powerful, if everyone bets on him, If it¡¯s a bet, wouldn¡¯t the organizer lose money?¡± ¡°That¡¯s definitely not the case!¡± Zhang Yanbin explained with a smile: ¡°In gambling, bookmakers rarely lose money. Look at the materials we choose, they don¡¯t even indicate it. It only has a number on which player it belongs to, so unless they see it in advance, most people don¡¯t know which piece of wool belongs to which person.¡± ¡°Oh, so that¡¯s it!¡± Chu Chen suddenly said. Zhang Yanbin continued: "However, these money will not be left. Except for the cost of this event, the rest of the money will not be left."It has invested in the education and elderly care of the village, so no one will be disgusted with this kind of thing. " After hearing the last thing, Chu Chen realized what was going on. After all, losing money would make everyone feel a little uncomfortable, and with this rule, no one would say anything. " During the conversation between the two, Several more contestants came. When one of the arrogant contestants came, Zhang Yanbin said with some displeasure: "Look, this guy is Leng Shaming. Look at the way he walks, he is arrogant. Not arrogant? Seeing him look like this, I just want to go up and give him a kick! " "What, do you have a grudge against him? "Chu Chen saw Zhang Yanbin's indignant look and asked curiously. Zhang Yanbin replied: "I don't have any hatred at all. I just can't stand the way he drags me around. It's really unbearable! " Chu Chen said in a dumbfounded voice: "I really can't stand you. Others are disciples of the Jade King. It's normal to be arrogant. Besides, if I read it right, he has splayed feet. It's normal to walk like this. I didn't know you had it. What to be so angry about! " "Hey, are you a foreigner? If you don¡¯t tell me, I really don¡¯t care much! "Zhang Yanbin curiously stared at Leng Shaming's feet for a while. The other person looked a little embarrassed, and finally became a little angry. Then he withdrew his gaze and said with a smile: "This guy is really a bit foreign. Ah, forget it, I won¡¯t argue with him next time! " Seeing Zhang Yanbin's appearance, Chu Chen was quite speechless. This guy didn't know what he was thinking. Sometimes he was even more ridiculous than Liu Sizhe. " Next, with the arrival of the last contestant, the host simply After saying a few words, the annual "One Dollar for a Thousand Dollars" officially began. As the competition began, the audience stood up and, regardless of whether they were placing bets or not, they all lined up in an orderly manner and walked to the participating materials. One by one, we started observing. This time, a total of twenty-one players participated in the competition, and the audience was divided into twenty-one teams. Although there were many people, the speed was not slow because of the time limit. After a while, Some people returned to their seats and started chatting with their close friends: ¡°Lao Ma, what do you think of this material? " "You kid, are you planning to copy my bet again like last year? " "Hehe, for reference, for reference! How about I start by saying that I think numbers 6, 8, 11, 13, 19 and 21 are all good, what do you think? " "No, do you still want to choose six? I can¡¯t thank you enough! " "No, I won't be so stupid. I'm just trying to attract others! Come on, the betting will start soon, and I also want to get some money for cigarettes! " "This activity is meant to train your eyesight, but you are only thinking about your cigarette money. You are really hopeless! Come on, I'm too lazy to worry about you. I think the 8th and the 21st are fine. The other four are fine, but I think the 20th is worth noting. " "The 20th? Is it the one with green skin? What should I pay attention to with this kind of wool? I don¡¯t know who is crazy enough to choose such a piece of wool to participate in the competition! " "Why, are you the best and others can't think of this? "The man sneered. "Hey, what you said makes sense! Could it be that this person was not aiming for nothing? " "I don't know if it's aimless or targeted, but I just noticed that the piece of wool is green and blue. If it really goes up, it will be a big increase. Maybe it will become the biggest dark horse this year! " The people around him somewhat agreed with the man's words, and secretly wondered whether they should place a bet for a while. However, this was just a matter of their own thinking. Those who really decided to bet on Chu Chen's piece of material were only a few, and among these people Apart from Liu Sizhe and the others, there were not many other people betting. Soon, after everyone had finished watching, the audience started to place bets. Of course, when placing bets, they only needed to pay. The ID number is enough. As for whether someone will default on their debt because of this, the organizer is definitely not afraid. They are all people from the association. If they escape, the monks cannot escape from the temple. As for Liu Sizhe and others, they are all blamed by Qiang Zhaojun. Yes, if Liu Sizhe defaults on the bill, Qiang Zhaojun will not be able to escape, so he can just ask him for the money, and Qiang Zhaojun will also be punished for not knowing the person. After placing the bet, the host said a few words. After a few words, the stone-cutting master began to pick up the stone, and the contestants stood beside their woolen materials and gave their own opinions on the stone-cutting from time to time. ¡± For a moment, there was a pleasant sound of grinding stones in the processing plant, because leaning against the auditorium, the audience in the front row could clearly see that the grinding wheels were being polished.??Remove the stone part on the wool piece by piece. As time went by, the atmosphere at the scene became more and more tense. Slowly, the windows of some woolen materials began to turn green, which made the audience who had placed bets on these woolen materials burst into cheers. Of course, there was cheering, but there was also disappointment, and there was even a piece of wool among them that had everyone talking. ¡
