Chapter 17 The right should be borrowed and repaid later
If all of them are sold, only one person out of 10,000 will get the car.
There are a total of three sets of home appliances for the first prize, which means that there is only a 1 in 2,500 probability that you can get a car or a set of home appliances.
This probability is not large, but it is enough to make the people in front of them restless, even some uncles and aunts who usually save feel that they may be the lucky ones today, and they gritted their teeth and stomped their feet to pay for it.
From a psychological point of view, everyone is used to feeling different, so some people in areas with few people, it is clear that the same type of shop has collapsed, and there will still be people who will open the same store. There are also people who know that they will be caught for committing crimes, but they think that they will not be so unlucky.
Some people happen to have money in their pockets, and in order to increase the probability of winning the lottery, they buy more than a dozen tickets.
They felt that they needed to save half a year in the past to buy such a car, so it was better to try their luck with two or three days of wages.
This is exactly what Han Chudong wants to see.
10,000 tickets can't be sold to 10,000 people, that's too difficult to sell, I wish someone had all of them all at once.
The money for the prize has not yet been settled, and the donations promised to those charities must also be given, and at this moment, I saw a long queue in front of the three Fa Xiao, and there was a steady stream of newcomers joining in, and the mood was good.
Of course.
If he sells enough, he will deduct a part of the "handling fee" from it and keep it as the next venture capital.
It's not a good thing to deduct nominal charity funds, but Han Chudong is very short of money now, and he wants to rely on legitimate capital accumulation to get money too slowly, thinking that it's a big deal to wait for the future to get rich, and then donate more money and goods to people in need.
Pay the money, issue a donation certificate, and remind the other party not to throw it away.
After continuing to shout for a while, he found that the processing speed of the three of them was too slow, so he simply sat down with a pen and paper, and placed a thick stack of numbered certificates in front of him.
Those who know words can see the general process from the poster behind them, and those who don't know words should know if they ask other people around them, and those who are willing to buy can't be stopped, and those who can feel distressed for a few dollars are really not necessary to persuade them to buy.
Han Yigun stood there, not only to maintain order, but also to stare at his little rabbit cub, not too angry, but complaining that he didn't learn the craft, and came here to make fun with a group of friends.
Staring at the car and home appliances, my heart is itching, and I can touch the money with my hand in my pocket, but I haven't seen the doorway yet, and I'm going to talk about it later.
Sun Laosan was found in the crowd.
Father Han leaned over and asked, "What is this for, why do you put charitable donations here?" My family is still mixed in in the early winter, if it is really a liar, then my reputation will not be ruined!"
"I can't. ”
Sun Laosan was holding the money in his hand, and he was also excited to see others buy him, but there were too many people at this time, and he wanted to wait for less people to buy two more to try.
Because of the lack of money and the banner of charity fundraising, many people think the same as him, thinking that if they can't win the lottery, they will do a good deed, and they are not gambling on the table, even if they lose these few dollars, it will not hurt.
He continued to tell Han's father: "The Chinese Association sent someone to say hello, saying that they wanted to cooperate with those charities to raise donations here, and there were only 10,000 tickets in total, but they could not be sold for 30,000 US dollars. ”
Come to think of it, I think that's the truth.
Since the general association sent someone to say hello, Han's father was even more relieved, handed a cigarette to his son, the master, took a lighter to help light it, and said: "The Chinese who have heads and faces in Los Angeles have a relationship with the association, and they will definitely not cheat this money, but those charities are also smart, and they have even come up with this way to attract people to raise donations......
There is a lot of traffic at this intersection.
I don't think it's difficult to collect money, I registered until my wrist hurt, and after more than half an hour, a stack of certificates was issued, and when I picked it up again, the number had been lined up to more than 1,600.
Most of them were small bits and pieces of banknotes and coins, and I took the time to look at the cardboard box at hand, which was half small.
Someone bought a piece before going grocery shopping, but felt that he had bought less on the way, so he turned around and continued to queue.
There are also people who buy cool at one time, and take twenty or thirty at once.
The two friends of Zhou Nan, the watermelon head, were still shouting around, but almost everyone who got up early and went out knew that there was an activity at this intersection, and many Southeast Asian residents and Koreans who came and went also stopped to join in the fun.
Father Han finished discussing with other colleagues who were responsible for maintaining order, and also pondered sending a representative to buy two tickets to get over it, as for Sun Laosan, see that there will be no shortage of people in this team for a while, so go back to his store to do business first.
Minutes and seconds passed.
At more than ten o'clock in the morning, after calculating the number on the certificate, I found that it was barely a return to the capital, and such small change and shredded banknotes were enough to pay for the car and household appliances.
There were fewer people than before eight o'clock, and at noon some children also came to join in the fun, and were brought over by parents to pay for it.
Registering hundreds of numbers and names, Han Chudong's hands trembled and his eyes were dazzled, and he was lazy at this time, and asked people to sign after registering a number.
When he saw his own Lao Tzu again, he grabbed Zhuang Ding and asked him to help buy some food, sandwiches, hot dogs, bread and other simple foods, he was still excited, but the watermelon head and glasses were hungry, and they called friends to come over to change shifts, help register and write, and he took time to go to the toilet and move his body.
The percentage of Chinese Americans in Old Chinatown in Los Angeles has been high in recent years, but there are also people from other countries living here.
For example, Kameri Furi, a small merchant who sells adult products.
He was a natural gambler, and he had been standing around for a long time, and was curious about this kind of play.
At this time, the Turtle Pear Erhe finally couldn't help it, and when he came to Han Chudong, he said in a strange accent that he wanted to buy fifty tickets, which was the biggest business since the morning, and he bought more than a big black brother who was more famous in Chinatown.
Han Chudong looked at him, and decisively began to count the small donation certificates the size of a palm to him, and after receiving the money, he was not busy stuffing it into the box, ready to return it to Sun Laosan first, and he still owed him a hundred dollars yesterday.
Knowing that he was rich, there were not many people at noon, Han Chudong smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Sir, don't you donate more?" On the one hand, you can increase the proportion of winning the lottery, and on the other hand, you can also do good deeds, today's 10,000 tickets are estimated to be difficult to sell, only 2,000 tickets are sold, and the probability of winning the lottery is very high!"
The Turtle Pear Duo is quite good at math, and he is not clear about the rules, so he asked: "You mean that if you draw an empty number that is not sold, it will be invalid and continue to draw?"
"Of course, if you buy two thousand, it is equal to half of the probability of winning, and if you can't win the lottery, you will keep drawing, and this prize will definitely be given away today!"
has already guaranteed the capital, Han Chudong is more satisfied, and now he sells more money, and he also has his own share.
Just now, the turtle pear Erhe took out a stack, which was worth thousands of dollars, and after hesitating for a moment, he shook his head and said, "The car and other prizes are not worth so much money, I'll buy them again...... Thirty sheets!"
"Well, the Lord will bless you!"
Han Chudong continued to count the votes, he was more skilled before, and asked when he met people, "Buy two?"
Some originally only wanted to buy one, but in the end they nodded and agreed to say two, and after handing over the skills to the three of them, they also learned the same.
There were not many people at the meal, and after the meal, a group of people were ushered in, probably after hearing others talk about it, and they made a special trip to join in the fun.
Han Chudong first took the money and hid in Sun Laosan's repair shop, tied it into a small bundle of twenty US dollars, counted the money and called the bicycle dealer and electrical appliance seller, and asked them to come and get the money.
The hundred dollars owed to Sun Laosan, turned around in Sun Laosan's hand, and offered to help him buy lottery tickets, this guy has always wanted a car, but he couldn't afford it, and gritted his teeth and said that it was a luck.
There is no need to dissuade him, if he is lucky, it is really possible to win the lottery, Le Hao took the money and asked Sun Laosan to get the certificate by himself.
By the end of the evening, more than 4,700 copies had been sold.
The payment was settled by Han Chudong first, and there was a lot of money left, and the number of people increased one after another at five o'clock.
Until the early eight o'clock, and sold 3,000 pieces, the archway was full of people waiting for the lottery, feeling that they bought less, and there were a lot of people who came to buy more, and most of them did not just buy one or two.
It's not too successful, but it's been very successful, Han Chudong is satisfied at this time, and reminds him with a loudspeaker half an hour in advance that the lottery is going to be held, and if you want to buy it, hurry up and come quickly.
By nine o'clock, more than 8,300 tickets had been sold, and he announced the draw......
