My Master Knows It All

507: 182_4 507: 182_4 By then, there will definitely be many people who will come to bet at our betting shop because of this new way of placing bets.

They may not only bet in this “double selection” or “triple selection” manner, but they might also bet on just one event.

However, once they come to bet at our betting shop, naturally, after betting on the “double selection” or “triple selection,” they won’t go through the trouble of running to other betting shops to bet on other events.

They will continue to bet at our betting shop, which in turn will help drive the overall business of our betting shop.

Therefore, we should thank Master, or perhaps…”

Yi Qiancheng nodded with satisfaction and said, “Indeed, that is the logic.”

At this, Yi Jin, who was standing to the side, heard and his heart stirred, suddenly thinking of another problem.

He hurriedly said, “Sister, what you said is correct, but you have overlooked another problem.

That is, this method is very easy to imitate.

Once other betting shops learn that our betting shop has this novel approach to attract more customers, they will definitely imitate it.

By then, we will no longer have any advantage.”

After speaking, he looked at his father with a smug expression, thinking about how his father had always said that he was the least business-savvy among the four adult children.

Now what?

He had identified a problem that even his sister had not noticed.

Shouldn’t his father be praising him by now?

Yet, when he turned his head and saw his father’s expression, his eyes immediately froze, filled with confusion.

His father’s face showed no sign of happiness, and even more so, he felt a veiled warning in the glance his father cast his way.

Yi Qiancheng sighed deeply.

How could he have fathered such a foolish son?

Their Yi Family was a merchant dynasty.

When he took over the position of Family Head, the Yi Family was indeed a well-known family in the Human World of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, but it was nowhere near as prestigious as it was today.

Back then, the Yi Family was just a member of the Xing Kui Business Association, and he was not the association president.

But with his own abilities, he became the association president.

He maneuvered through the business world and eventually reached today’s status, being called the richest man in the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.

But how could he have such a foolish son?

This foolish son, why couldn’t he think that, in that situation he described, having navigated the business seas for so many years, wouldn’t he himself understand?

Wouldn’t his genius sister have thought of it?

He was considering how to give Peak Master Cao some benefits, even trying to tie his own family to Peak Master Cao.

He was just looking for an opportunity to speak, and his daughter had proactively brought it up.

All he needed to do was to continue the conversation from there.

But then, this foolish son of his jumped out and directly interrupted his daughter’s words.

If it weren’t for his son’s resemblance to him, he would have even questioned whether this was truly his own flesh and blood, for he was just too foolish.

“Father, others offering ‘double selection’ or ‘triple selection’ is easy to imitate.

But we can prepare in advance for ‘double selection four,’ ‘double selection five.’ These offer a kind of error tolerance.

For instance, if you bet on four events, and you get three right but one wrong, isn’t that a pity?

So, we provide other options, like any three right out of four events count as a win…

And we can offer ‘quadruple selection five’ for even higher error tolerance.

For example, if you bet on the outcomes of four individuals, any three-person combinations that are right count as wins.

That will be even higher if all four are correct.

But that means there will be more events to bet on since there are different combinations, and the principal will be higher…

These methods need to be calculated in advance; they cannot be imitated in a short time.”

Yi Jin listened for a while, finally understanding the meaning.

In short, these methods seem to offer you more choices, making it easier to guess correctly but, in fact, they cost more.

In the end, the betting shop is the one that profits.

He didn’t understand how these ideas were conceived.

“Brilliant, truly brilliant!” Yi Qiancheng kept on exclaiming in admiration.

He was genuinely impressed now that betting could be made so varied and intricate.

Yi Sheng continued the conversation that her brother had interrupted earlier, “Father, since our Master has helped us to this extent, shouldn’t we show our gratitude?

For instance, with the money we earn from using Master’s method this time, shouldn’t we give a portion to Master?”

“This…

That’s not the right approach because we can’t calculate how many people will come to our betting shop due to these novel betting methods.

Moreover, with Peak Master Cao, in this Heavenly Conflict of Immortals, our Xing Kui Betting Shop will undoubtedly be the most profitable among all betting shops!

It will also become the most famous betting shop, and our reputation will skyrocket, the benefits of which are incalculable.

Just offering Peak Master Cao a portion of the money earned from betting during the Heavenly Conflict of Immortals is simply not enough, it is far too little.”

After a brief moment of thought, Yi Qiancheng looked at Cao Zhen and said, “Peak Master Cao, I know you are a man of great ability, but since you have helped us, we, being mere mortals, do not know how else to show our gratitude.

How about this, I currently hold a sixty percent share in the Xing Kui Betting Shop, and I wish to gift ten percent of the shares to Peak Master Cao as a token of our gratitude.

Please, Peak Master Cao, you must accept.”
