Chapter 197: 198

Liu Feng looked at the rapid breathing of the crowd, raised the corners of his mouth, and said softly, "There are four boxing matches a year, and there is one match in every quarter."

The eyes of the people below were all wide-eyed, and everyone was stunned by the reward, especially the reward for the first place, which actually had a gold coin, which made many people who did not sign up for the competition very annoyed.

Needless to say, the one with the heaviest gold content is the first place. A single gold coin can make civilians live a good life for several years.

Many people have decided to sign up for the next season's competition, and it is foreseeable how tragic the next season's boxing competition will be.

"Then, let's start the game." After Liu Feng shouted, he sat back on the chair.

Other things will be arranged by someone, such as Niu Da who is going to be a referee. He also likes boxing recently, and he asked Liu Feng for a few sets of boxing gloves to practice against Niu Er and the others at home.

"My lord, which player do you like?" Solo, who was sitting on a step below the high platform, raised his head and asked, "I want to make a good bet!"

The high platform that Liu Feng sat on was the kind of two-step ladder. He sat on the highest position, and the next step was where people with status like Tori, Buff, and Ryan sat.

"I don't know yet. After all, it's just the beginning. Betting depends on your luck." Liu Feng said indifferently.

The bet he mentioned was a gambling handicap opened by Liu Feng. For example, if the game has not started yet, you predict who will win the first place.

Also, if you guess the first, second or third place, you will pay one hundred and eighty times; and if you guess who is eliminated, whoever is the first to be eliminated will pay one for one...

Anyway, there are dozens of ways to play, and the most powerful one is to guess the order from the first to the eighteenth. If you win, Liu Feng will directly pay 1,800 gold coins.

As soon as the bet came out, everyone was stunned. Many people tried to buy it. After all, the minimum bet amount is one steel coin. Many civilians who had a try bought it. Maybe they stepped on shit. Are you lucky?

There are also many people who know the probability of guessing all the sequences from 1 to 18 correctly. I am afraid that they may not be able to guess once in a hundred years.

So, they all played guessing the top three, and they didn't guess the order, they only guessed those three people. Although the multiples were not as high as guessing the order, it was still exciting.

Xiao Lai was holding a box. He was the person who came to collect bets, and was called to place bets from time to time. The box was not only used to hold coins, but also to keep notes.

The receipt for the gambling ticket is a newly developed carbon paper by the scientific research department according to Liu Feng's request. A special kind of paper is soaked in ink for a few days, and after drying, it is placed between two sheets of paper, and the top is covered with goose feathers. After writing with the pen, the lower piece of paper left writing on the lower piece of paper because the carbon paper was squeezed by the quill pen.

The copied one will be given to the bettor, and the one written with a quill pen will be kept as a comparison certificate for prize redemption.

"Here!" Soro raised his hand and shouted.

"Here we come." Xiao Lai came to Solo with the wooden box in his arms, and he saluted Liu Feng first.

"I want to buy the top three, not in order, number seven, ten, seventeen! The bet is one silver coin." Solo said, taking out a silver coin from his pocket and handing it to Xiao Lai. The maximum bet is up.

Liu Feng didn't want the common people to indulge in gambling, so he set up many restrictions, such as the limit on the amount, and one person can only buy one, etc.

"Okay, please wait a moment." Xiao Lai took a notepad from the box, which was the notepad used by the scientific research department to imitate Liu Feng.

Xiao Lai turned to the latest page, carefully squeezed out a sheet of black carbon paper from a small box, stuffed it between the two pages, and started writing quickly.

After finishing writing, Xiao Lai also took out a small box from the box and opened it to reveal a red piece inside. This is also the inkpad made by the scientific research department by soaking cork in red plant juice according to Liu Feng's request.

Xiao Lai handed the ink pad in front of Solo and said, "Sir, please press your thumbprint."

"Okay!" Solo still knew about the contract, like some nobles who cut their thumbs and used blood to imprint them. Solo pressed his thumb on the red inkpad, and then left thumbprints on the two pages of the bill.

"Crack..."

Xiao Lai tore off the receipt under the carbon paper and handed it to Suo Luodao, "Please keep the receipt. After winning the prize, you can redeem the prize with this receipt."

"Here we come!" Xiao Lai saw someone calling him again, and hurried away.

Today, he was called by Deputy Director Niu to help. He heard that after the competition, he would receive three hundred copper coins as a reward.

"Uh..." Solo looked at the note in his hand. This one was clearly not the one just written. He looked down at the note in his hand, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "Eh? How is this possible?" ?”

This bill is actually exactly the same as that person wrote. Although some places are a bit blurred, they can still be distinguished.

"This, my lord, what is this?" Solo held up a note and asked for advice, he felt that this was the most incredible.

He was thinking, if he has such a magical thing, if he does business with people, he will not be afraid of being cheated at all.

"Oh, it's the carbon paper newly researched by the City Lord's Mansion." Liu Feng said calmly.

He underestimated the people in the scientific research department a little bit. He didn't expect to get out the carbon paper for him in just two or three days. Although it will stain and it won't last long, it can fully meet the needs at this stage.

"My lord, when can I buy it in the big market?" Solo asked nervously.

Chapter 0235 dog big?

"Buy it? No, no... Carbon paper is still in the experimental stage, and it may take a while before it is actually put on sale."

Liu Feng shook his head. The things researched by the scientific research department must at least have the latest generation of products, before the old generation of products will be sold on the market.

This is called the accumulation of technological products. It is a bit like the fruit phone company on the other side of the earth. They released the fruit machine 6. Then, the fruit company must have accumulated the fruit machine 7.

And the advantage of all this is that you can have enough time to make adjustments. Even if someone else comes out with more advanced things, you can release your own accumulated next-generation products in the next moment, and have always occupied a far-leading position.

How important is the number one position in the industry? There is no need to say anything at all, everyone thinks of you as the number one, and you will choose the number one choice, and the other options are price screening.

"My lord, can you really sell it to me? I can offer you a high price."

Solo was in a hurry. He was tricked several times by those unscrupulous businessmen, that is, on the issue of contracts. This time, he left the capital because some businessmen falsely accused him of having a problem with the quantity of goods.

There was a businessman from the north who offered a high price and asked for a large quantity. Then, during the handover, the quantity and quality were randomly checked, and both parties said that there was no problem, and signed a contract with each other.

But not long after, the businessman repented, saying that the quantity given was wrong, and asked Solo to make up for the missing 20% ​​of the goods, which blew up Solo.

If he makes up 20% of the goods, doesn't that mean he will die at a loss?

Originally, Solo wanted to develop the northern business line with that batch of goods. He had already lowered the price to attract the northern merchants, so he didn’t make much money. Now he is asked to pay 20% more of the goods, which is to let him work for nothing.

This matter is not a big deal, as long as the contract written during the handover is shown, it can be solved easily.

But in the end, the problem was in this contract. The northern businessman sued Solo to the government officials of the royal capital, and took out the contract to ask Solo to make up for the missing amount.

Solo was furious at the time, and took out the contract to confront him on the spot, but found that there was a certain number in the other party's contract that did not correspond to his.

No need to think about it, Solo knows that the other party has changed the number. The contracts in this era are all handwritten, and there is an obvious gap between the two contracts.

Now, the administrative officer didn't know whose contract to believe was real and who was forged, and this matter broke up badly.

But the next thing that disgusted Solo happened. The northern businessman actually spread rumors in the capital, saying that he was an unscrupulous businessman, short of money, etc., which affected his reputation a little. As for the northern trade route, it was completely broken.

If you make trouble with Solo, leave the capital directly and come out to relax, and find some business that can be done by the way.

Solo encounters such disputes once or twice a year, all of them are caravans from outside the Kingdom of England. Those people are like wild dogs. As long as there are loopholes for profit to exploit, they will use various means. If you can't get it, you will be disgusting.

"Oh?" Liu Feng also saw that Solo was in a hurry, thinking that he would use the other party's caravan in the future, it's not impossible to sell some of this experimental product to him.

"The price is not cheap!" Liu Feng said lightly.
