Reading: Beginning as the Dean of the Academy

Chapter 153 All Crazy

Less than 15 minutes after Chen Ke called Su Le.

The official account of the Huaxia Go Association released a message.

The content of the news is very simple. The mysterious master of Xinzhou Academy decided to play against AlphaGo.

As soon as this news came out, the entire Internet was instantly shocked, and discussions began among those who knew Go or those who didn't.

And the domestic media, whether it's financial or entertainment, have reposted the news, and even started looking for experts in Go and artificial intelligence to make inferences.

But compared to Go experts, there is really nothing to say, because they don't know this mysterious master at all.

In the entire Go world, only Chen Ke knew about it. Even at this time, Chen Ke was still tight-lipped and did not reveal the identity of this mysterious master.

They don't know their identities, and they don't have any previous performance analysis. How can they comment?

Compared with Go experts who don't know any comments, the experts on the artificial intelligence side at this moment have expressed their opinions one by one, analyzing from their respective professional perspectives to support their predictions.

The people from the Alpha Company, of course, also knew the news, and they responded very quickly. They will bring the Alpha Dog to China to participate in this game immediately.

……

"Jiaxin, this is all your savings. If you lose, you will lose everything."

"It's okay, I won't lose, the odds are [-] times, hehe, I will be a billionaire in the future."

Shen Jiaxin smiled, immersed in the joy of becoming a billionaire soon, but Jiang Hui who was at the side didn't know where Shen Jiaxin got such confidence?

That's artificial intelligence. The scientific community has long proven that the human brain is no match for a computer.

What Jiang Hui didn't even know was that when Su Le called Shen Jiaxin, she just asked Shen Jiaxin to bet 100 million for her, but Shen Jiaxin bet all the more than 1000 million deposits in her bank card.

If he wins, he is not an ordinary billionaire, but a billionaire.

"I still have no money. If I have money, I will give the next [-] million."

Shen Jiaxin muttered something, and Jiang Hui rolled her eyes when she heard this, and bet another [-] million. If she really wanted to bet [-] million, even if she won, the gaming company probably wouldn't be able to afford it.

Don't look at those foreign gaming companies that pay billions of dollars in compensation at every turn, but in fact the gaming companies themselves don't have much reserve funds. All the markets they open adjust the odds according to the amount of bets. No matter what the final result is, it will make a profit.

For example, in a ball game, the odds of winning or losing at the beginning may be 2:1, but if there are too many people betting to win, the odds of winning will be lowered, and the odds of losing will be raised, which will guide other players to lose. Those who bet will turn to lose, even if there are few people who bet and lose, it’s okay. After reducing the odds, it can be guaranteed that if you really win, you will not lose money.

Therefore, even if there are some extremely high unpopular odds, but it will really go down, there are only a few people who are betting on luck, and the bets will not be too much, which is harmless.

This time, the foreign gaming company opened the market and gave such a high odds. They also felt that as long as they were normal people, they would not bet on the Chinese to win, and they set the odds for artificial intelligence so low. There will be a few people who will bet, just thinking of attracting attention.

But this time, the gaming company found that it was wrong.

"Smith, are you sure these Chinese are not betting on artificial intelligence?"

At the headquarters of the gaming company, General Manager Cass was already in a cold sweat on his forehead. Just when Huaxia Go announced his challenge, their company received several big bets.

All the funds came from Huaxia, not the small bets made by some patriotic Chinese people as they originally expected. These sums all exceeded one million, and the highest one was as high as [-] million.

[-] million, that's because the upper limit they can set is [-] million, otherwise it is estimated that the other party will bet more.

"Boss, there's nothing wrong with that. Can the opponent increase the betting limit?"

"If you raise the upper limit again, does he want us to go bankrupt?"

A compensation of 100 billion is enough for their company to go bankrupt. Although Cass firmly believes that AlphaGo will win, such a big matter is no longer in his hands and must be reported to the directors.

Soon, Cass convened a board meeting and informed the directors of the situation.

Needless to say, these directors also know that artificial intelligence will definitely win, but the key is the risk...

They are not the kind of underground companies, but formally licensed companies. They have licenses in several countries. If there is a problem of non-payment, the other party can sue. Although the company does not have so much funds, those licenses are valuable. .

"What if the Huaxia people cheated?" Some directors raised their own doubts.

That's right, this is in China's territory. If the Chinese people cheat, such as uploading a virus to AlphaGo, or turning off the network, it is really impossible to unplug the wires. Although this possibility is unlikely, it still needs to be counted. .

The directors were discussing a lot, and Cass saw that it was obvious that the discussion could not reach a result, so he couldn't help saying: "Everyone, let's make a statement first. If all means are excluded, does the Chinese chess player have a chance to win?"

Many directors in the video raised their hands at the same time, thinking that it was impossible.

"If this is the case, why don't we and the AlphaGo company request that our company's people be allowed to be present at the competition site, so that if the Huaxia people do anything, they can't hide it from us."

"This is a good idea. I will contact AlphaGo Company." One of the directors spoke, and he is also one of the shareholders behind AlphaGo Company.

"I think we can lower the odds. Although we have to gamble, we just need to keep the profit at around 100 billion."

After the discussion at the board meeting, Cass ordered his subordinates to act, which also caused an uproar on the Internet.

Chinese Chess Player VS Alpha Dog.

Odds: 90:1.33.

It's down, the bookmaker is down.

Many people who don't play gambling don't understand why those netizens are so shocked by this news.

"You don't understand that the odds decided by the gaming company before any game starts will not change unless there is an accident. The only reason for the change is that there are too many bettors."

"Too many people bet? No way, there are still people betting at the odds of 1.01. What's the point of earning 1 yuan for 100 yuan?"

"Jiulouyu? It's obvious that there are many Chinese chess players who win. The gaming company increased the ratio of AlphaGo to win, hoping that more people will win by playing AlphaGo to hedge against it."

"No way, does anyone really believe that Chinese chess players can beat AlphaGo?"

"It is estimated that the Huaxia people made the bet. The Huaxia people are like this. They have their so-called national dignity. But in this way, we can also play. The odds of 1.33 are almost half of the odds, and a little bit more can be won." make money."

At this moment, netizens all over the world are crazy.

In just one hour, Cass looked at the amount in the background, and his heart was trembling. In just half an hour, the foreign side won AlphaGo and reached 30 billion. Although it only needs to pay 1 million, it can't stand the number. It's still going crazy.

"Quickly increase the proportion of Chinese chess players winning, and keep the gap of 50 billion unchanged."

Half an hour later, seeing that the odds had changed to 96:1:28 again, this time domestic netizens were elated.

"What does the gringo mean? Do you think it's money? I'll support our mysterious Go player, so I'll buy 100 yuan."

"I'll buy it too. Anyway, if you lose, it's like buying less skins."

Foreign netizens are right in saying that Chinese people are still very united at certain times. The 5000-year history gives them a sense of national honor that foreigners do not have.

"My God, the Chinese people are crazy, are they rushing to send money?"

Looking at the data collected from Huaxia below, although each transaction is not large, it cannot hold up to a large number, and because of the odds, the 100 yuan here is equivalent to 1 yuan.

The odds change again.

But when the odds changed, Western netizens went crazy again.

Of course, at this juncture, some sensible people began to worry. The odds fluctuated so quickly, and the amount was obviously huge. What if the bookmaker couldn’t pay out?
It was Western netizens who raised their concerns, and they were quickly recognized by other netizens on the Internet.

Cass listened to his subordinate's report, pondered for a moment and said: "Contact the bank and let the bank underwrite the insurance for us. After contacting the notary department, invite notary personnel to come to the company for notarization, and promise not to operate in secret. This time our company will become famous all over the world. .”

Cass moved very quickly, and then several banks expressed their willingness to underwrite the insurance. Of course, the reasons why these banks would be willing to underwrite are that the company Cass works for is their major customer, and the second is that Cass maintains 50 billion yuan. The amount, the bank assessed the company's property, is still worth the money.

With the bank's guarantee, western netizens bet even more crazy, and the odds came to 200:1.08.

……

Tongcheng.

"Mr. Luo Yang, because you have overdue... legal summons many times..."

In the shabby rental house, Luo Yang looked at the debt collection information sent by text message, and smiled wryly. Who would have thought that he, who was a prosperous entrepreneur a year ago, would become a pauper with millions of debts today.

The business failed, his girlfriend ran away with others, and Luo Yang's life fell into darkness.

Ding dong.

The latest news message suddenly appeared on the screen of the mobile phone. Luo Yang originally planned to click on it, but the title attracted him.

The gamble in history, the contest between the West and China, the game between human wisdom and artificial intelligence.

After reading the news, Luo Yang opened his mobile bank, and there was still a balance of 13680 yuan on it. This amount of money was just a drop in the bucket for the millions of debts he had to bear.

"Anyway, the money will be useless to me immediately, so let's show my support to the people of the country."

Luo Yang logged on to the Internet, entered this company and placed a bet, then threw the phone aside, and silently turned on the valve of the gas pipe at home.
