After the first day of popularity,Daqi military funds to prepare for the next few days of lottery sales,Just like Bai Qing expected,Gradually become stable,Basically daily sales,Hovering around 3~40,000,But Bai Qing is very sure,After the end of the next first lottery,With the stimulation of the grand prize winner,Lottery sales will once again usher in a large wave of climax.
Therefore, in Bai Qing's script, in order to stimulate the next sales, today's jackpot must be won, regardless of whether someone actually buys it, it is not shady, it is just a marketing tool.
Whether it is in the future, or in this Daqi, the mentality of the Chinese people is the same, why can others win the jackpot, but they can't? Even if you understand that there is only one lucky person who can be hit by the pie falling from the world and get rich overnight, why can't that lucky person be yourself? It is this mentality of not admitting defeat that prompts them to persevere and go on willingly in the face of the big cake that Bai Qing painted for them.
In just five days, the sales of lottery tickets have reached an astonishing more than 200,000 yuan, which is enough to prove to the princes that it has a strong ability to absorb gold, and the crazy enthusiasm set off in Bianliang City, which also surprised many people who are concerned about this matter, it is hard to believe that the one who caused this situation was the Qinglou guy who was laughed at by them before.
At noon on the sixth day of December, at noon, Yunqi Bridge, Daqi Military Preparation Lottery Issuance Office.
The venue in front of which is enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people has long been surrounded by water, and tens of thousands of eyes are all focused on the same place, that is, the one that has just been built this morning, a huge stone platform that rises high, at this time, on the stone platform, in addition to a huge panel pasted with red paper, there are two iron cages with a height of three meters, fixed on the shelves on both sides, and above the shelf, there is a thing similar to the handle, a long pipe, connected to the bottom of the iron cage.
I don't know what the two iron cages on the stage are for, and the people below can't help but talk about it, but a few clever people can vaguely guess that it should be related to the lottery lottery, but with their knowledge, they naturally don't know how to operate.
Below the high platform, there is a huge red lacquer cowhide drum, on the trees on both sides, at this time all have been wrapped with red satin, and there are eight long strings of firecrackers hanging on the treetops, a jubilant scene, such an arrangement, can not help but make those who are waiting for the lottery below, for the upcoming lottery more longing up.
Today's weather is really good, the sun hangs high in the air, bringing some warmth to the people who are anxiously waiting, although it is noon, but many people have come here early in the morning to wait, want to occupy a good position, in order to be able to get the lottery information for the first time, and even many people are the whole family, the whole morning has not dripped, a family of old and young or squatting or standing, although the stomach is hungry cooing, but the face is full of fantasy after winning the lottery, it can be said, At a time when everyone is infinitely close to winning the lottery and is only one step away from 20,000 guan, their faces, in addition to the anxiety caused by waiting, are more of a joy, which is the joy of chasing dreams in the depths of their souls!
When the sun shone on the shadow of the sundial, and finally pointed to three o'clock in the afternoon, there was a burst of noise in the crowd, and then, a large group of soldiers far larger than the previous scale walked out of the Daqi military preparation lottery issuing office, opened a narrow road in the crowd, lined up in two teams on both sides of the road, and several staff, dragged two cars, came out of the house, went straight to the stone platform, and then several people moved the boxes on the car to the platform.
Looking at their busy appearance, everyone present became silent again after the initial noise, and they all held their breath and stared intently at the busy appearance of the staff above, for fear of missing a little.
And the dragon dance, Di Xiaobai and the princes sat on the viewing platform that had been prepared for a long time early, witnessing the scene of the first lottery of Daqi.
Not only these partners, as the most popular thing in Bianliang City recently, today's first lottery naturally attracted the attention of countless people, countless big names or the eyeliner of various families, all mixed in the crowd, Shi Shiran waited for the lottery.
Tong Yu is no exception, on the carriage not far from the square, through the window of the carriage, he looked at the scene of the loud voice in the distance, but his face did not have the anxiety of those days, but unhurriedly shook a newly made red sandalwood folding fan, and the corner of his mouth showed a slight cold smile.
After the staff had completed all the preparations, Bai Qing wore a brand-new black robe and walked onto the high platform unhurriedly, holding a simple megaphone in his hand.
"Dear fellow villagers and elders of Bianliang, thank you for your support to our Daqi military preparation lottery...... Then right away, our first draw is about to begin...... Which numbers will be drawn today? Let's wait and see if there is any lucky winner who won our first 20,000 yuan prize today! β
Bai Qing's speech was very brief, there was no tirade that annoyed people with crooked words, he knew what people wanted to see most at this time, and it was very simple to end today's speech and officially start today's lottery ceremony.
Even in the face of tens of thousands of onlookers, Bai Qing still looked like he was lightweight, looking very calm, without any nervousness or stage fright, so that several princes couldn't help but look at him even more, you must know that in the face of so many eyes, even those princes who claim to be well-informed, they will inevitably have nervous feelings, let alone others, and Bai Qing's expression has to be said to be eye-catching.
After hearing Bai Qing's order, a staff member below opened a box, and what appeared inside was a pile of silver ingots that were full of small mountains high, and the pile of white flowers and silver reflected the glittering brilliance under the sunlight, which instantly blinded the eyes of many people, and the crowd suddenly made a "boom" sound, and there was a sound of snorting in the venue, almost all of the people, when the pile of silver appeared in front of them, their eyes were straight, and there were many rich people with thousands of wealth, you must know that even them, I see a lot of them on weekdays, and most of them are just large silver bills issued by the national bank, and the silver made of the 20,000 guan is piled up there, and the visual impact is not something that anyone can see casually.
As soon as the real money came out, Bai Qing could hear it, almost everyone's breathing was subconsciously much heavier, and everyone's heart was trying their best to suppress a desire.
Without waiting for the people below to wake up from their distractions, the staff opened a box again, which was filled with many basketball-sized red balls, and they were also full of numbers, and poured all these balls into the iron cage.
As soon as the drum of "dong dong dong" sounded, some staff members shook the handle on the bracket vigorously, and with the rotation of the handle, the huge iron cage, in the stunned eyes of everyone, rumbled and spun rapidly, and the round balls in it also rolled up and down quickly.
As soon as the drum sounded, at the moment when the drum stopped, Bai Qing shouted: "Open" Then, the staff who shook the handle stopped urgently, and at the moment of stopping, opened the small door under the cage, and a ball rolled out of it, along the pipe under the cage, and rolled directly in front of Bai Qing, with the number 8 densely written on it (Arabic numerals have already been popularized by the Empress of the Peace), so, in full view of everyone, Bai Qing picked up a huge brush comparable to a brush, A large "8" was written on the board with red paper.
After doing this qiΔ, the drum suddenly sounded intensively again, and the staff on the stage began a new round of repetition, and the six numbers in the red ball area have all been shaken out, and in this process, from time to time you can hear the sound of joy or sigh, or regret, and the expressions on everyone's faces are also different, but most of them are destined to be just disappointed.
However, the disappointment on their faces has been doomed in the scripts of the game organizers, and in fact, most people have already been mentally prepared for this disappointment in their hearts, they do not think that they have been deceived, but more of a psychology of not admitting defeat, just a little bit, next time to buy more, it will definitely win!
Bai Qing ignored the crowd below, and he directly sent a signal, asking the staff to pour another box of blue balls into another iron cage to prepare for the basketball draw.
When the final blue ball number was drawn, Bai Qing first copied the number on the panel as usual, and then turned around, and was just about to say something, when he heard a happy voice below: "Won!" I'm in! This sound was tantamount to a thunderclap in the flatland, and the crowd suddenly stirred, and many people followed the reputation to see who the lucky winner who won 20,000 yuan was.
Since someone has won, then the earlier arranged "color trust" no longer needs to play, Bai Qing signaled, and then shouted at the place where the voice sounded: "It seems that today's jackpot has been won, please come forward with this brother, and those who have not won the lottery folks should not be too discouraged, our lottery tickets will continue to sell, as long as you persevere, the chance of winning the lottery is!" β
"I won, I won 20,000!" After the man heard Bai Qing's words, he squeezed to the stage with great effort, and then with an ecstatic expression, he kept saying to Bai Qing, the happiness of being smashed by the pie was overflowing, so that those who didn't win the lottery below were really envious, jealous and hateful in their eyes.
"First of all, congratulations to this friend, who was very, very lucky to win the grand prize of 20,000 yuan!" Bai Qing congratulated the man with a smile.
"I can claim my prize now!" The man's mouth was already smiling at this time, and he looked impatient, Bai Qing patted the man's shoulder, signaling him not to be anxious, he still needed to say a few words to incite the atmosphere before receiving the award, and sometimes it was often more incendiary to show up.
After the man said a few words incoherently, seeing that the atmosphere at the scene had almost been inflamed, Bai Qing reiterated a few precautions about redeeming the prize, and then he was ready to redeem the prize for the lucky person.
It's just that when Bai Qing's eyes fell on the lottery ticket he handed over to him, his face instantly became gloomy, and then he raised his head and looked at the "actor" in front of him with a smile!
"It's not a small ...... to dare to fake"
