chapter 32(1/2)
"What? Five cents per piece of bamboo, not only will the lottery be drawn on the spot, but there will be a prize of 50,000 in the end?!"
After hearing the servant's report, Han Lu's chin almost shocked to the ground. He didn't expect Han Tao to have such a way to deal with it.
Han Chong was also surprised, although he thought that Han Tao would definitely have his own tricks to seize the market.
But I never expected that the other party would take the method of increasing the second prize draw and increasing the prize amount to 50,000 at once.
"Son, let's quickly add the second prize draw and grab everyone back!" Han Lu suggested to Han Chong anxiously.
Han Chong sighed helplessly: "Dad, the bamboo slices of others were prepared in advance, and the numbers for the lottery were written on them."
"We don't have any on our bamboo pieces. Now we want to draw a second prize, and it's impossible."
"Then let's make new bamboo slices to sell immediately." Han Lu was anxious to call the servants to prepare the materials.
"It's too late. It will take at least a few hours when we're done. It's almost dark at that time, and we can't sell much."
Han Chong stopped Han Lu's impulsive behavior.
"Then reduce our current bamboo slices to five cents per dollar for sale. This will at least ensure sales volume." Han Lu suggested.
"It's useless, doing so is equivalent to increasing our costs in disguise."
"While reducing sales revenue, the odds of winning are also increased accordingly, and the final result is that you can't make ends meet."
"What's more, we still lack the temptation of a second prize draw. No one will buy it. This way, we can't compete with Han Tao." Han Chong explained to Han Lu with a sad face.
"What should we do? We can't do nothing here, right?"
Han Lu was almost crazy. Seeing the victory, he failed at the last moment, and he couldn't bear it at all.
"We are indeed too late to do anything." Han Chong sighed long and said to Han Lu.
"Son, you just gave up like that, right? This is not like your personality!" Han Lu saw Han Chong's emotional changes and asked anxiously.
Han Chong sat down slowly, shook his head helplessly and sighed: "What can I do if I don't admit defeat? We really have no chance to turn the tables."
Han Lu sat on the ground with his butt, and his eyes started to cry and howl.
"It's over. We made so many preparations, but in the end we were defeated by someone with a few bamboo pieces. I don't agree, I don't agree!"
Han Chong looked at Han Lu who was crying, and looked helpless.
Although he was also unwilling to admit it in his heart and could not accept the result of the crushing defeat, reality was right in front of him.
Han Tao, the playboy who has been trampled by him since he was a child, ignorant of his skills, and does not even know the word "big" and only knows how to find flowers and willows every day.
But in just one month, he used one unexpected trick after another to achieve a counterattack in his life.
Especially Han Tao's attack on the last day was completely beyond Han Chong's expectations, and he was indeed at a loss for a turnaround at this time.
Although he won the first game in three games, it was also because of Han Tao's underestimation. In fact, he lost all three games.
Only then did he realize that he was facing such a terrible opponent. Even though he had tried his best, he still couldn't escape the fate of failure...
The sun gradually sets westward, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the market.
Many stalls arranged by Han Chong were ignored in front of them, and there were still a large number of bamboo pieces left.
Most of the bamboo baskets on the flat carriage that Han Tao and others set up stalls were empty, and only a very small number of bamboo slices were still left.
Nearly a thousand people were surrounded by carriages, all of whom were tilting their heads to look at the skylight, waiting for the final moment to draw the grand prize.
At this time, several guys were quickly counting the money earned from selling bamboo slices in bamboo baskets.
Although the final accurate result has not yet been released, it should be no less than one million yuan in roughly.
At this time, a shabby Guizhou-style man with worn clothes and many patches on it was flew over.
He rushed to the carriage and stuffed all the money in his hand into the man's hand.
"Come on, buy them all!"
The guy took the money and hurriedly counted it. It was nearly five hundred yuan in total, which means he could buy 100 bamboo pieces.
The guys hurriedly helped him count the bamboo pieces. The Qianshou excitedly picked up the scraper and was about to start scraping the prize.
A woman carrying a child on her back cried and shouted, "Can't buy it, can't buy it anymore!"
The woman rushed to Qianshou, pulled him tightly, begging: "Master, you sold all the valuable things in our family before you exchanged for this little money. You can't buy all these bamboo pieces!"
Qianshou threw his wife away: "What do you know? As long as I win the grand prize, our family will turn over completely and we can live a rich life in the future."
"Where is it so easy to win the grand prize?! The head of the family, don't be confused. We don't want to live a rich life, just live a down-to-earth life!" The woman begged bitterly.
"You are a thing with long hair and short knowledge. If you have the opportunity to get rich, you want to live a poor life! Let me go away!"
The man shook his strength, shook the woman and the child behind her back.
The woman staggered and almost fell down. Fortunately, a hand supported her and the child behind her back.
The person who held her was Han Tao. He began to pay attention since the couple started arguing. When he saw the man throwing his wife away, he hurried forward to catch the woman.
"She is still carrying a child on her back, how can you do this?!" Han Tao accused the man dissatisfied.
The man was angry: "She is my wife. What do I want to treat her? What does it have to do to you? Get me bamboo pieces quickly and don't delay me winning the prize!"
Han Tao knew that in this era, men are superior to women, and women are inferior to women, and women have no status.
Although the man's words were unreasonable, he really had no right to interfere in his family affairs, so he could only stare at her helplessly.
The woman knew that she could not stop her husband, so she could only hold the scared child in her arms tightly and constantly coax him.
The man quickly scraped all the bamboo pieces in his hand, but only won some small prizes.
He chose to exchange bamboo slices again to continue scraping until there was no bonus again, so he held a stack of bamboo slices and waited for the final lottery.
Han Tao looked at the woman who was coaxing the child, turned to look at the Qianshou who were holding bamboo pieces and waiting for them, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
In this era, the government's corruption and various harsh taxes have put the Qianshou head in a heavy burden.
The severe drought, floods and locust disasters over several consecutive days have caused sharp declines in the harvest, and many people's lives have reached a difficult point.
If it weren't for this, there wouldn't be so many people who would do anything to see the opportunity to get rich overnight given by Han Tao.
I bought all the remaining money in my hand, just to win that vague opportunity.
Soon, the results of the inventory came out, and a total of more than 1.16 million yuan was sold that day.
Because some people won the prize and redeem the money, some people chose to continue to buy bamboo slices, so the final amount was a fraction.
"Now the lottery is drawn, the amount of the grand prize is 110,000 yuan, and a total of three people can be won!" Han Tao announced loudly to the people present waiting for the lottery results.
Everyone cheered in unison, 110,000 yuan was definitely a number that could make them crazy, and it might be a wealth that they would never make in their entire lives.
Han Tao then drew three prize numbers from the lottery box and announced in public.
The three winners were ecstatic and left happily with the prizes they received.
The man who came to buy bamboo slices at the end did not win the grand prize. He collapsed decadently to the ground and could not accept the facts in front of him.
His wife was crying loudly while holding the child.
Then, there were many people who did not win the prize next to him, either beating their chests and stamping their feet, or crying in a burst of voices, and immediately became a mess.
Looking at the sad Qianshou in front of him, Han Tao felt a strong sense of guilt in his heart.
In order to win the competition, Han Tao had no choice but to choose this kind of side-minded way to make money.
Although he adjusted the winning rate to about 40%, it could really make some people make money and even make them rich overnight.
But for most people, the money they invested wasted wasted.
Many Guizhou people invested the food for a family’s day in the food. Now there is no harvest, and the family will be hungry.
There are also those who are like the three who just lost all their money and bet on their last hope, but are hit like this.
Han Tao was deeply touched and felt that he had done something very sinful...
"Don't leave, everyone!" Han Tao looked at the crying people who were about to leave in all directions and shouted loudly.
Everyone looked at Han Tao in confusion, not knowing what he wanted to do.
"Everyone, I'm very sorry. I forgot to announce that those who have not won any prizes can come to my house with the bamboo slices they have in their hands the day after tomorrow, and each bamboo slice will be returned to you one penny." Han Tao announced loudly.
"What, can you still get the money back?!" Those who did not win the prize were instantly excited.
They hurriedly put away the bamboo pieces they wanted to discard in their hands and dissipated with a satisfied expression.
Seeing this, Ma Yuan was anxious, and stepped forward to pull Han Tao aside and asked in a low voice.
"Boss, why do you have any refunds? Do you know how much money we made?"
"Apart from the prize redemption bonus, we made more than 700,000 yuan today, but you don't know how much you will withdraw from when you withdraw."
"I have made money, and the day after tomorrow's competition is over. Refunding part of the money to these poor people can prevent their families from being destroyed." Han Tao explained to Ma Yuan.
"Boss, I know you are kind-hearted, but we are doing business."
"You are willing to sell, they are willing to buy, you don't need this at all."
Han Tao shook his head firmly: "A gentleman loves money and gets it well. In order to win the game, I have to make this side-by-side money."
"I withheld part of it to teach them a lesson, and refunding one money is to give them a glimmer of hope!"
