Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Gambling on Snakes
The snake fighting competition started on the third day. The program is very simple. First, the owner of the snake marks the bottom mark. For example, if the owner of the snake marks the bottom mark of 100000 yuan, the challenger must first place a 100000 yuan bet on the table. These two hundred thousand yuan are just two snake owners' own bets, winning or losing is the business of both snake owners. Then, the betting board is responsible for opening the opening, and everyone in the venue can place their bets.
The opening person was none other than the third boss with sunglasses brought by Mr. Hong. They are specialized institutions in this field, organized very professionally, and are well-known black gambling institutions in the industry in Guangdong. Yuer also noticed that Mr. Hong must have partnered with the Sunglasses Men's organization to hold this gambling competition.
Mr. Hong's face was beaming with red, and Yuer's little snake, Jin'er, had earned him a lot of face. Yesterday, the exhibited snakes underwent a "New Snake King" competition. Based on three aspects: novelty, novelty, and toxicity, snake research experts will score and official institutions will participate. Both Chinese and foreign experts gave Le'er's Little Snake full marks.
The photo of the little snake Jin'er quickly spread to foreign media organizations, and many big newspapers published the photo of the little snake and introduced it as a newly discovered species of snake, naming it the Golden Crown King Snake and calling it a spirit of nature.
Jiahao Company has gained great reputation, and foreign business organizations related to snakes have expressed their intention to cooperate with Mr. Hong. This sensational effect is much better than spending one million yuan on advertising for Jiahao Company. Mr. Hong also obtained the naming rights for the product trademarks featuring "Golden Crown King Snake" and "Golden Crown Snake" from Yuer.
Mr. Hong is a successful boss. He was able to leap from a poor rural boy to become a successful owner of a well-known enterprise that integrates snake breeding and deep processing of snake products, thanks to his brain and unique vision. It seems like he spent a huge amount of money on Yuer, but in fact, he is the biggest winner.
The activity of gambling on snakes has begun, and experts and official personnel have already left. However, more and more people have flocked to participate in the gambling activity, with nearly 500 people sitting in the stands.
Most of the people who participate in gambling matches are not snake farmers, some are real gamblers, and some are specially invited wealthy people who don't care about money, only care about their heartbeat.
The snake that started gambling is more childish. The minimum bid price is 50000, and the gambling competition starts with the snake with a bid price of 50000. A cobra first entered the large snake cage of the gambling game. The big snake cage is fifteen square meters in size, with a height of 2.5 meters. The snake mirror snake at the bottom of the bid was placed in a small iron cage into a large one, waiting for the challenger.
The snake in the gambling battle requires the consent of both owners before it can proceed. Soon, another cobra of similar level entered the snake cage. The host introduced the characteristics and combat experience of two snakes, both of which are new snakes and have never competed before. They are about the same size, and if it weren't for the number one and number two stickers on their bodies, it would be impossible to distinguish who is who's snake. The organizer of the gambling party offered a 1:1 ratio, and people placed their bets in pairs and threes. I can't see the difference in strength of the snakes, so the bets placed are relatively small, around 32000, not tens of thousands. The total gambling capital is less than 200000 yuan, and the total difference is only over 50000 yuan. The pan side announced the start, and the two snakes began to fight.
Although the gambling table is not large, the enthusiasm of people who gamble is high. The people who placed their bets shouted wildly, while some who did not place their bets also joined in the shouting. Two snakes fought fiercely amidst their cries. Snakes with similar strength look better when fighting. There is no specific pattern or training for the two snakes to fight, they just fiercely entangle and fight together.
After a while, the two snakes were covered in bloodstains. The entangled body separated, and the second snake's physical strength deteriorated a bit. It quickly fled to the corner and lay on the ground, unable to get up. The first snake also had a huge physical exertion and didn't have much strength to continue fighting, but its head was still held high and it was spitting out red letters from its mouth.
The first snake wins. The winner cheered loudly, while the loser felt dejected.
Another appearance is an African Egyptian cobra with a base price of 200000. The Egyptian cobra, also a fierce attacking snake, is placed in a fighting snake cage and hisses while spitting out messages, clearly trained to fight snakes. The host explained its characteristics and combat experience. It is also a newly released fighting snake, with no previous gambling records.
People without snake breeding experience have some superstitions about very snakes and think that African snakes are very powerful. The eyes of the snake were very enthusiastic, but as the snake, which had not come out to challenge for a long time, was about to retreat, a lazy voice came out.
Let my snake try it
This is a small breeder from Guizhou. The snake soon came out, and a native cobra entered the iron cage. The locally produced cobra is commonly known as the rice shovel head because its head is shaped like a rice shovel. This cobra is slightly smaller in size than the Egyptian cobra, and its momentum is not inferior. As soon as it enters the fighting snake cage, it raises its head and spits out a letter, making a hissing sound towards the Egyptian cobra.
The host briefly introduced the characteristics of the native cobra. This snake has not participated in any previous snake gambling activities and has no records.
After the two snake owners agreed to fight the snakes, the bowl opened and remained 1:1. The balance of the bet leans towards the Egyptian cobra, and the small boss from Guizhou closed his eyes and didn't even look at the snake cage, not knowing if he was confident or not. However, a small man following him placed another 100000 bets.
The difference in gambling capital this time is nearly 300000 yuan. The Egyptian Cobra has a high bet. If the Egyptian Cobra wins, the gambling institution will lose about 300000 yuan, while on the contrary, they can make a profit of about 500000 yuan. Mr. Hong has not appeared, obviously operating behind the scenes. There is a small group of five observers and analysts around him, all of whom are authoritative figures in snake fighting.
The opening of the plate is not random, it needs to be determined through research
Shaler did not go to watch the competition. He watched the game alone with his little snake Jin'er in a room with closed-circuit television. Jin'er sometimes watches the snake on TV, but she's not very interested. Most of the time, she curls up on his shoulder, tucks her head into her body, and occasionally raises her head to reach out and lick his face. Yuer was very excited and looked at the fierce looking Egyptian cobra, feeling that her chances of winning were much higher than those of native cobras.
The native born snake may seem unremarkable at first glance, but several skilled snake fighters did not underestimate this snake. Sure enough, when the black Egyptian cobra charged fiercely towards the native cobra, the native cobra quickly swam and strategically avoided entangling with it. While swimming, it seized the opportunity to accurately attack the fierce Egyptian cobra, which was very effective.
The Egyptian cobra is fierce, irritable, and has very strong attacking abilities, but its attack accuracy is much worse. The native cobra was also bitten a few times, but the Egyptian cobra had many more wounds on its body. Slowly, the movement of the Egyptian cobra slowed down and its attack weakened. At this moment, the native cobra became powerful and bit seven inches of the Egyptian cobra with one bite.
The person who bet on the Egyptian cobra was dumbfounded, and soon their bet was placed on the ground, becoming a dead snake, while the native cobra held its head high.
Yuer lowered her eyes and looked proudly at her little snake.
Hmph, if compared to my Jin'er, they would all die
The small boss in Guizhou won 300000 yuan, and the gambling institution also won over 300000 yuan. Even more ferocious than the fighting behind, the next one to appear is a fierce black tiger snake.
The Black Tiger Snake ranks fifth on the World Fierce Snake List. The base price of this snake is not high, only 300000.
