Bwin was the largest online gambling company in Europe. They had taken a liking to Dream Entertainment for the upcoming First Martial Arts Tournament. They wanted to work with Dream Entertainment to set the odds together.
Shi Lei was more inclined to work with Bwin because they could earn a lot of profit. The initial estimate was that it would not be less than a hundred million USD.
However, Shi Lei was prepared to listen to Mu Shuang's suggestion.
When it came to business, Shi Lei was not as good as Mu Shuang. Even though Shi Lei's learning ability was very strong, he was not bad at most business matters.
"Shi Lei, you want to work with Bwin, right?" Mu Shuang asked.
"Hmm?" Shi Lei could tell that Mu Shuang's tone was different. "Shuangshuang, what do you think?"
"Shi Lei, actually, I don't agree with working with Bwin!"
Mu Shuang directly expressed her thoughts. "Bwin is an online gambling company. If we work with Bwin, we will inevitably be suspected of being involved in shady dealings.
At the same time, if we work with Bwin, we will have to put in a lot of effort, and the returns will not be guaranteed.
The most important thing is that the First Martial Arts Tournament of the Hero World is not suitable for online gambling. "
"Oh?
Tell me more! "
When Bwin contacted Shi Lei, Shi Lei's first thought was that the reputation of the Hero's World had spread all over the world. The first Martial Arts Tournament was actually able to attract a powerful online gambling company like Bwin.
Shi Lei didn't know much about online gambling companies. He only felt that Dream Entertainment would gain a lot of benefits by cooperating with Bwin.
However, Mu Shuang had a different opinion.
"The First Martial Arts Tournament of the Hero World is not suitable for online gambling.
Bwin's core business was similar to William Hill's, mainly focused on sports quiz.
Although our competition is the same as sports competitions and has a winning and losing mechanism, which means that there is the possibility of betting, in fact, the Hero World's Martial Arts Hegemony Tournament and sports competitions are two completely different concepts. "
Mu Shuang explained the situation and then continued, "Take the UEFA Champions League as an example. The 32 teams participating in the competition are confirmed information.
Furthermore, the situation of the 32 teams in the group battle was also confirmed in advance.
Therefore, the bookmakers analyzed the power and winning rate of different teams based on all kinds of confirmed information, and then set the odds in advance.
The bookmakers could set the odds in advance because of the certainty of the UEFA Champions League.
Our Wulin Tournament basically doesn't have any definite information.
For example, before the start of the finals, there's really no conclusion as to who can make it to the finals. "
Shi Lei thought about Mu Shuang's words and nodded in agreement.
Mu Shuang explained again, "Even before the finals are confirmed, the players have decided on the top 100 players through duels, and these top 100 players have also decided on their opponents in advance.
However, Shi Lei, in the Hero World, I'm afraid I don't need to say more about the victory and defeat between players. You should know what's going on, right?
Even if a player is stronger, it doesn't mean that a stronger player will definitely win against a weaker player.
Humans can make mistakes, and horses can stumble. What if a stronger player accidentally loses?
If we cooperate with Bwin, once such a situation occurs, it's hard to guarantee that we won't be accused of being shady. "
"That's true!" Shi Lei nodded again.
"There's another very important factor. Once Bwin's online gambling involves too much profit, it's hard to guarantee that Bwin won't think of a way to cheat.
For example, they could bribe one of the contestants and make that contestant lose on purpose.
This kind of thing is very hard for normal players to resist, especially when faced with the temptation of money.
After all, the top 100 players aren't those rich football clubs. What they need is money, not glory. "Mu Shuang brought up a very important issue.
Shi Lei was stunned. Just as Mu Shuang said, if they were bribed by a gambling company, how should the players deal with it?
If Dream Entertainment cooperated with Bwin, and Bwin used such methods to bribe players, once the news leaked, Dream Entertainment's reputation would be greatly damaged.
"We can't hope that the players won't be bribed!
We can only restrict them through the rules and do our best to prevent them from cheating. "Mu Shuang sighed.
"If that's the case, we really shouldn't cooperate with Bwin!"
Shi Lei was a little scared. He was almost tricked by Bwin. No wonder Bwin was so proactive. It was because they wanted to drag Dream Entertainment down with them!
"Of course, we can't cooperate with them!" Mu Shuang answered firmly.
Shi Lei frowned. After Mu Shuang's reminder, he realized a new problem. "Shuangshuang, if we don't cooperate with Bwin, what should we do if they conduct an online betting on our first Martial Arts Tournament?"
Indeed, Bwin Company could set the odds for the first Martial Arts Tournament without Dream Entertainment Company.
Dream Entertainment couldn't stop them.
At the same time, if Bwin's online betting involved too much money, it would be unavoidable that Bwin would bribe the players to cheat the competition.
Mu Shuang laughed. "As long as Dream Entertainment doesn't get involved, it won't be difficult to deal with Bwin.
For example … "She quickly explained the situation and Shi Lei nodded.
Shi Lei had to admit that Mu Shuang was better than him in business.
"Good idea!"
Shi Lei nodded excitedly. "This way, as long as Bwin dares to place bets on the Martial Arts Tournament, we can trick them again!"
How could Shi Lei feel good about Bwin trying to trick Dream Entertainment?
"Okay!
Shi Lei, I'll tell Bwin that Dream Entertainment doesn't intend to cooperate with them, "Mu Shuang confirmed.
"No problem!
Shuangshuang, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll change the situation in the Hero's World according to your ideas. I'll change the rules of the Martial Arts Tournament slightly, "Shi Lei replied with certainty.
Shi Lei followed Mu Shuang's instructions the entire morning and finished modifying the Hero World's source code. All that was left was to wait patiently.
If Bwin was honest and didn't participate in the Hero World's first Martial Arts Tournament, then everything would be fine.
If the Bwin Company was dishonest and wanted to play dirty tricks on the Hero World's first Martial Arts Tournament, then sorry, the Bwin Company would definitely be in for a bad time!
After modifying the source code, Shi Lei was in a good mood. He thought about what to eat for lunch as a reward.
It was already past 11: 30 in the morning and it was close to lunchtime.
Shi Lei was about to invite Mu Shuang and Lingyumo to eat together. He keenly noticed that the relationship between the two girls seemed a little different.
However, Shi Lei couldn't tell what the difference was.
Just as Shi Lei was about to call Mu Shuang, his phone rang first. The caller ID showed that it was Dong Guoguo. Shi Lei's eyes lit up as he muttered to himself, "Could it be that the VR gaming helmet is completed?"
Shi Lei pressed the answer button and asked first, "Old Dong, why are you looking for me?"
Dong Guoguo's tone was filled with joy, "Boss, we've completed a research project."
"VR gaming helmet?" Shi Lei asked with a smile.
"No!" Dong Guoguo denied, "The VR gaming helmet is in the process of being produced. It's estimated that it'll be completed by tomorrow.
Boss, you've instructed me to develop a brand new motion control platform to make it more convenient for players.
The motion control research team has successfully created a brand new motion control platform. "
"Oh?
Have you tested it yet? "
Shi Lei had indeed instructed Dong Guoguo to develop a motion control platform. However, Shi Lei didn't have high hopes for this matter.
However, Dong Guoguo remembered it carefully and chose to cooperate with Rongcheng Military District. With the help of Rongcheng Military District's research power, they completed a brand new motion control platform.
"We've only gone through a rough test. Because this system doesn't have a program interface with the Hero World.
Therefore, we didn't enter the Hero World to test it.
If we want to test it, I'm afraid that you'll have to come over personally and complete the interface driver before we can proceed, "Dong Guoguo explained the situation.
There were special interface drivers between the motion control platform and the Hero World.
These interface drivers would work with the motion control system to better recognize the motion of the motion control platform.
This was especially true for the recognition of qinggong. If one wanted to use the motion control platform to recognize qinggong, how could it be done without the corresponding driver?
The current motion control platform's design wasn't very advanced. Some movements could be recognized incorrectly, although the error rate wasn't high.
However, if Dream Entertainment wanted to develop the Hero World, they had to develop a better motion control platform.
"Yes, no problem!"
Shi Lei replied affirmatively. However, Shi Lei couldn't develop the interface driver out of thin air. He needed to see the real new somatosensory operation platform and understand the performance and situation of the new somatosensory operation platform. Only then could he develop the corresponding interface driver.
"Old Dong, are you saying that the VR gaming helmet will be completed by tomorrow?" Shi Lei asked to confirm.
If the VR gaming helmet was confirmed to be completed by tomorrow night, which was June 21st, Shi Lei would immediately head to the Lin 'an underground base to complete the new motion control platform interface driver. He would continue to complete the VR gaming helmet's operating system the next day.
