The qualifiers for the first Coconut State International Dragon Boat Races started in March.
You can imagine how many participating teams and attention a competition with a prize of 1 billion yuan can attract.
After May, the official competition will begin.
Early in the morning, Chen Mo drove Ellie to Haikou Airport in a Maybach Zeppelin. Ellie was more than six months and almost seven months pregnant, so Chen Mo had to be careful every time he took her out...
Arriving at the airport, at the airport gate, Ellie saw a man and a woman standing and shouted: "Li Meitong, hi, here..."
Li Meitong...
Ellie's roommate at Princeton University, the girl from Bayan Province who taught Ellie how to speak Chinese.
Li Meitong was slightly startled when she saw the car and came over dragging her luggage.
Ai Li opened the car door directly, ran over with a smile, and hugged Li Meitong...
"How many months pregnant are you?"
"Almost seven months." Ellie smiled and touched her belly with a look of motherly love on her face.
"It's so annoying. It seems that I will soon be an aunt." Li Meitong carefully touched Ellie's belly and giggled: "Let me introduce you to Liu Zihao, my cousin."
Ai Li went over and pulled Chen Mo out of the car: "My husband, Chen Mo."
"Hello, super handsome husband. My name is Li Meitong. I am from Wanwan. I was roommate with Ellie at Princeton University." Li Meitong smiled and stretched out her hand to shake Chen Mo's hand.
"Chen Mo." Chen Mo smiled and shook hands with Li Meitong.
Li Meitong seemed to have been shocked and looked at Ai Li miserably: "My super handsome husband looks better than on the camera."
Li Meitong grabbed Chen Mo's hand and refused to let go. Ai Li slapped her hard twice: "Let go, let go."
The small suitcases they carried could just fit into the trunk of Zeppelin...
Liu Zihao sat in the passenger seat, while Ai Li and Li Meitong sat in the back.
"Wow, this car is so cool. It doesn't feel bumpy at all."
"It's okay. By the way, have you graduated from college?"
"Well, I just got my diploma. You transferred to Stanford, didn't you graduate?"
"No." Ellie puffed up her cheeks: "I met him not long after I went to Stanford. Then he kidnapped me and I didn't graduate."
Chen Mo smiled and did not expose Ai Li. He abducted her, but she was shameless...
Along the highway in Dongzhou, they came to the Coconut Corridor and arranged for them to go to the Coconut Oasis Resort...
"Old Mo." Bai Xiaoou held Bai Xue and walked over with a smile.
Bai Xue was one and a half years old. When she saw Chen Mo, she bit her fingers and stumbled towards him...
Chen Mo chuckled and picked up the little girl, kissed her on the face, and gave it to Bai Xiaoou: "I was just looking for you. Is there anything wrong?"
"It's okay. Why don't you bring the kids here to play?"
"Let's go watch the dragon boat race later. In today's 500-meter final, it seems that a team from Huafeng Group has entered the final."
"Well, the game starts at 10:20."
The 500-meter race is a 20-meter dragon boat. There are 23 people on the boat, including 1 coxswain, gong player, drummer, and 20 rowers. There are also 2 substitutes... This is a standard competitive dragon boat team.
Unified competitive dragon boats for the convenience of competition.
But when it comes to the rally, traditional small dragon boats and large dragon boats are needed.
A small dragon boat with thirteen gears and twenty-six people rowing the boat. There is one person on the boat to manage the flag, two at the back, one for singing, two for drums, two for holding gongs, and two for supporting incense... 36 people.
A large dragon boat with eighteen stalls, thirty-six people rowing on both sides, plus twelve deacons including drums, canes, gongs, flags, singing gods, and holding incense and fighting, we need forty-eight people.
In the 17-kilometer final, there were only 36 people in the small dragon boat and only 26 people in the rowing boat.
As for the dragon boat, there are 48 people on the boat and 36 people rowing the boat.
In long-distance competition, there are many people and few people, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages... Anyway, the dragon boat team of Yunshan Group has prepared 48 dragons to participate in the finals. But now, the dragon boat team of Yunshan Group has not won the finals.
qualifications……
After arranging the accommodation for Li Meitong and the others, Chen Mo wanted to go to Houhai now. After sitting in the car, Chen Mo accepted Li Meitong and the others from Bai Xiaoou.
"Are you the chairman and founder of Huafeng Group?" Li Meitong had noticed Bai Xiaoou just now. She had seen Bai Xiaoou in the American Fortune magazine... Bai Xiaoou was still the cover star, and it was just her first meeting.
Not sure.
"Well, do you know me?" Bai Xiaoou turned his head and looked at Li Meitong and said with a smile.
"I've seen you in Fortune, and you've been on the cover of Fortune. Oh my god, I didn't expect to see you in person..."
Bai Xiaoou chuckled: "You're talking about the issue in mid-March... The person "Fortune" originally wanted to interview was Chen Mo. Chen Mo didn't want to be interviewed, so he gave me an advantage."
Li Meitong opened her mouth...
"Chen Mo... Mr Chen?" Li Meitong hugged Ai Li's arm: "Oh my God!"
According to reports, Chen Mo has a net worth of nearly US$30 billion.
Chen Mo holds more than 700 million shares of Hehehe Animal Husbandry, and each share is now worth US$30.62, which is more than 20 billion. But the current market value of Hehehe Animal Husbandry is not equal to its true value, it is just sought after by the market... He is in
The shares of Hehehe Animal Husbandry cannot be cashed out in the short term... By July, the bearer shares raised by Hehe Hehe Animal Husbandry before its listing will be unfrozen. By then... the share price of Hehe Hehe Animal Husbandry will definitely fluctuate violently... After that,
Only then can we detect the true value of valley animal husbandry.
Li Meitong was a little dizzy and looked at Ai Li, waiting for Ai Li's answer...
Ellie shrugged and spread her hands.
"Wow."
In Houhai, many people come to watch the dragon boat race.
In this competition, Brother Xiaohu will broadcast the entire process online, and there will also be a large team doing various publicity and promotions. Anyone who surfs the Internet should know that an international dragon boat competition is being held here in Coconut State, and the total prize money of the competition is
1 billion yuan...
The total bonus of 1 billion yuan seems to be a lot.
But in the dragon boat race, there are 23 people on each competitive dragon boat. In the competitive part, the highest prize is the 1,000-meter round-trip race. The prize for the champion of a single competition is 100 million. The runner-up is 10 million, the third runner-up is 5 million...
Followed by 1,000 meters, the winner is 10 million, the runner-up is 5 million, and the third runner-up is 3 million.
In today's 500-meter final, the championship reward is 5 million yuan. A regular team has 25 players, and then there are coaches, assistants, etc. A team comes with almost 30 people, at least...
30 people share 5 million, which is less than 170,000 per person.
Of course, the top five in each event will be qualified to participate in the rally. The reward for the rally champion is 300 million yuan. But there are 36 players on the dragon boat boat, even a small dragon boat...
Huge bonuses will attract attention and more people will participate.
For example, in the International Dragon Boat Race held in Wannian County last year, the highest prize for the champion was 1.8 million yuan. Even if it was divided equally among the 23 contestants, each person would only receive 80,000 yuan. The dragon boat race... This is a very money-consuming competition. A competition.
It takes more than ten days and one month to grow up. It costs money to come here for food, accommodation, accommodation and transportation... Moreover, the teams that come to participate in the dragon boat race are basically sponsored by local governments. A team will win the championship... and it will win the championship if it participates in the competition.
, you may lose money throughout the game.
Dragon boat racing is not like football or basketball. In China, not many people pay attention to dragon boat racing... It is really difficult for a professional dragon boat team to get sponsorship.
But this year is different.
There is a prize of 1 billion. Coconut State has also invested a lot of energy in organizing this competition... There are 786 teams registered for the competition, a total of more than 30 countries. There are more than 400 domestic teams, some representing cities and companies.
