Chapter 21 Lotteries
"If there are too many people, I will retreat!"
Liu Xiangyang blurted out.
Liu Xiangyang hesitated for a while, then sighed helplessly and said: "Datou, is there really no other way but to retreat?"
He is not a fool. In the current situation, there are three partnerships over there, and there is only one here. Doesn't it make it clear that there are many partners?
It's just that he was unwilling to give in. He finally made some money and escaped in despair. It's really not as good as what Li Qiming said. It's better to fight. If you win or lose, it's another matter, even if you get beaten up. , it is worse than retreating without a fight like this.
This not only involves improving family life and relaxing the frowns of his parents, but also this period of making money suddenly makes him feel like the pillar of the family, and he seems to have more responsibilities on his shoulders.
.
"Baby, is there really no other way?" Li Qiming also said.
Wu Maocai raised his eyebrows and thought about what to do next. Fang Chen was quite generous to him. He could give him five yuan a day, which was almost equivalent to the income of a second-line factory worker. He didn't want to give up too much.
If he really gave up, he was ready to go south again. He finally saw clearly that inland cities like Luozhou had no future and were lifeless.
Fang Chen chuckled, "Don't be nervous, don't be anxious. I'm just saying that we won't do the business of making money by writing numbers. I'm not saying we won't do business anymore. We can do other things."
Although Fang Chen hadn't said what to do next, the other three people couldn't help but let out a long breath and felt a lot more relaxed.
At this time, it seemed that they had a blind trust in Fang Chen and felt that Fang Chen could succeed in whatever he did.
After all, during this period, Fang Chen led them to earn more than 10,000 yuan, and he built a household worth 10,000 yuan in twenty days. How could they not trust him? This is simply a miracle!
They themselves took 1,600 to 700 yuan each from home. Such a large amount of money was something they had never dreamed of before.
"I'm going to win the prize." Fang Chen said slowly.
"Pick for prizes?"
“What is prize picking?”
Several people looked at Fang Chen with confused faces.
Fang Chen smiled. Picking prizes is a kind of reward. It is not a novel thing for people in later generations. They even have a certain immunity after seeing various prize games.
However, at this time, business activities were still in a wild era, and prize-picking was still a new term.
"I'm going to make a box, which is divided into a hundred grids, and each grid will have a cash reward." Fang Chen said.
In fact, this is what was often seen on the small vendors at the school entrance in later generations. There were some small plastic toys, small puppets and other random things inside, or some notes with various words written on them.
Various rewards, snacks, toys, and comics.
Later, when the game got bigger, I would put some more valuable things like Transformers, Gundams, toy guns, etc.
It's just that Fang Chen doesn't plan to do this. He plans to put cash directly. After all, he doesn't plan to defraud the children of their pocket money. He is still dealing with adults.
"Isn't this just a lottery ticket?" Wu Maocai blurted out.
Fang Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes, yes, although they are different in form, they are actually the same thing. They can be regarded as a kind of lottery tickets. In essence, they are a way of raising money by drawing lots to give prizes."
The history of lottery in China is not long. After the founding of New China, various prize-winning savings certificates with different denominations and names can be regarded as the prototype of lottery. In this way, the nature of lottery with face value and the redemption of prizes are maintained.
The attractiveness of the lottery also ensures that the principal of the savings can be repaid upon maturity, without the risk of lottery tickets.
The first real lottery was printed in Tianjin three years ago.
At this time, trials are being carried out in major cities one after another. It will probably take three to five years before the power of the lottery will be truly revealed.
At that time, almost every household in China was buying lottery tickets, and the lottery rooms were overcrowded. People were arriving one after another. All kinds of lottery experts appeared on stage. Various prediction methods were popular in the local area, setting off a wave in the land of China.
Waves of wealth storms have completely activated people's desire for wealth.
This turmoil lasted for nearly two decades. After 2010, people's enthusiasm for lotteries slowly waned.
Of course, Fang Chen didn't plan to win any lottery tickets. This thing was too big for him to hold, and there were too many interests and bosses involved. He could be crushed to pieces with just a little finger.
He was just going to play with this kind of small reward, make some small money, kill time, and accumulate more ammunition and food for the walnut business.
Hearing Fang Chen's compliment, Wu Maocai glanced at Liu Xiangyang proudly, indicating that he was well-informed.
Liu Xiangyang twitched his lips and didn't bother to pay attention to Wu Maocai's provocation. He asked eagerly: "Can anyone play with this? Will we lose money?"
"Playing, there must be people playing. As for whether to lose money or not, this can be controlled." Fang Chen said with a smile.
If no one plays this game, it only means that the Chinese people no longer desire wealth, and the gambling instinct in their hearts has disappeared.
is it possible?
Totally impossible.
How could a country that dares to bet on life, refuses to lag behind, and always strives for first place not have a gambling spirit?
Just like the high-speed rail and new energy in later generations, why would China, a country with an average per capita of only 8,000 US dollars, dare to make such a big bet? The money earned by high-speed rail is not even enough to earn interest, but it still invests countless resources in the country of new energy vehicles.
The subsidy can account for half of the car price.
This can be said to be gambling on the fate of the country.
Li Qiming said: "Well, Fang Chen, how big are you planning to reward?"
After hearing this, the ears of the other two people also perked up. Li Qiming's words were on point. How big the reward is is the key. If the reward is too small, no one will play. If the reward is too much, they will lose money.
"It's still two yuan a time. The minimum reward is fifty cents and the maximum reward is one thousand yuan!" Fang Chen said.
Hearing this, the three of them took a deep breath!
One thousand dollars!
This is a bit too much fun.
After all, when writing numbers, the highest reward is only 100 yuan. After playing for so many days, they have never seen anyone get it.
Seeing the shocked expressions of the three of them, Fang Chen sighed helplessly, "It's not up to us to decide how much the reward will be. How can we possibly lose money?"
The size of the reward does not actually matter, what matters is the probability of winning.
Let's take the lottery as an example. The minimum lottery reward is five yuan, and the maximum is five million or even hundreds of millions.
The upper and lower limits are higher than Fang Chen's, but did the lottery center lose money?
