Zhou Yangqing said, "Little Xu, you explain."
"Yes, Patriarch."
President Xu glanced at Lu Chengwen. "CEO Lu, the situation is getting a little out of control. We need to place a huge amount of bets on the other side to balance the figures. But we don't have enough people, and... if you lose the match, the money will be paid jointly by our organizing committee and the Great Sage Group. We need to think of something!"
Lu Chengwen rubbed his chin. "We do need to think of something."
President Xu said, "There are only two options now. First, raise the odds on your side to attract more bets there, then use the accumulated wagers to cover the payouts. Second... adjust the odds on the other side so that someone betting ten million can only earn a little over ten million. That's the only way to ensure we don't lose money."
"Hm?" Lu Chengwen raised his head. "Oh, there's no need for that."
Zhou Yangqing said, "CEO Lu, if you lose, we'll have to pay out a billion! A full billion! That's not a small sum! And it's still rising. The bets on you winning are only a few tens of millions. We can't afford this."
Lu Chengwen spread his hands. "Then what do we do? I heard that bastard from the Xiong Jian Sect is still over there stirring things up, calling on everyone to bet on him winning. I think... before betting closes, it might break two billion."
Zhou Yangqing said, "We only spent a few million organizing this event. You were the one who proposed this betting pool, and now the wagers have collapsed into this mess. Do you have anything to say?"
Lu Chengwen looked at them. "I'll cover it. Is that enough?"
That was exactly what
