On July 1, the Olympic lottery tickets were officially issued, and all countries that joined the Northern Alliance went on sale at the same time, and the Truth Church printed them in conjunction with newspapers in various kingdoms, adding anti-counterfeiting logos and adding second and third prizes.

If the first prize needs to win 7 numbers, then the second prize only needs to win 6 numbers, the third prize needs to win 5, and so on.

The first prize is a five-person Olympic tour, the second prize is a limited souvenir award, which is made by the Truth Church itself, and the third prize is a cash prize, and the winner will receive 5 yuan.

You must know that the lottery ticket is only 5 cents a piece, if you can win 5 numbers, you can get a hundredfold return, although it is not rich, at least it can be called a conscience.

The second and third prizes were issued, or Ma Wei felt that Dino had put his mind on the Olympic lottery tickets, and let him arrange it, and the church made too much money, so he added other rewards.

Dino has been scolding Ma Wei for having a grudge against money after knowing about this, but in fact, even if the second and third prizes are added, the church can still make a lot of money.

As far as Ma Wei knows, the advertising space behind the lottery tickets issued every day alone has sold a staggering 700,000, which is also 100,000 when converted into gold pounds!

What is this concept?

The annual income of an ordinary worker should be about 20 gold pounds, which is 140 yuan when converted into northern currency, and the advertising space of the Olympic lottery ticket is worth the annual income of 5,000 ordinary workers!

That's still the price per day!

Advertisers spend 700,000 and can only advertise on Olympic tickets for one day!

The next day, it will be replaced by another advertiser and earn another 700,000!

In addition, a series of derivative products such as limited commemorative banknotes, stamps, and postcards of the first magic Olympics are all issued by the church bank.

Of course, 10% of the profits from the derivatives will be given to the Stockholm city government to subsidize their expenses for hosting the Olympics, and for most of the year they have mobilized almost all the workers in the city to prepare for the Olympics.

Putting aside the awards added by Ma Wei on a whim and the dividends and costs to all parties, the money that the Church of Truth can earn by virtue of this Olympics is initially estimated to be about 18 million, and if the cost is included, then the total sales should be around 30 million.

What does it mean to turn a loss into a profit?

What does it mean to turn the tide?

Despite Ma Wei's toss, Dino still made the church make money, even if it was not as much as before, the yield was still very considerable.

After all, lottery tickets belong to huge profits, if you use your hands and feet in it, deceive those who want to get rich overnight to buy, in fact, the winners are their own people, and the profit margin will definitely be as high as the sky!

But Dino knew that this kind of pickling trick of cutting off children and grandchildren was too inferior, not only destroying the integrity of businessmen, but also damaging the reputation of the church, not to mention that Ma Wei did not agree, even if Ma Wei agreed that he would not do it.

Who doesn't know that he gray wolf Dino is the most honest?

Were the dignitaries willing to do business with him because he was richer than other merchants?

Of course not!

It's because he gray wolf Dino never sells counterfeit and shoddy products!

Saying one is one, saying two is two, and negotiating a good business, even if it is a loss, it will be fulfilled!

Lottery tickets have long existed on the market, and the church will issue its own lottery tickets in the future, but Dino will never cheat and engage in some tricks to enrich his own pockets.

The money earned by the Pluto Chamber of Commerce relying on the Church of Truth will not be spent in ten lifetimes, and at the same time, Dino also understands that if his children and grandchildren do not fight, no matter how big the family business is, he will lose it, so he does not plan to leave too much money for his children, but will only pass on all his business acumen and experience to the next generation.

Dino would have this kind of thought, largely because he saw the fate of the nobles, whether they were hereditary nobles or military nobles, they would all decline, no family would endure, no era could be eternal.

Of course, ideas are ideas, Dino is still a money addict at heart, but he has experienced a low point, unlike those who are hungry for profit, he knows what he is doing, and he also understands what he should and should not do.

The popularity of the Olympic lottery ticket far exceeded everyone's expectations, I don't know if it was because the newspapers had already started to publish news about the magical Olympics or because the rewards of the Olympic lottery tickets were too rich, and it caused a rush as soon as it went on sale, selling 400 million copies on the first day, and the sales reached a terrifying 20 million!

This number stunned everyone, and even the newspaper in charge of printing the lottery tickets was out of stock, and all the tickets prepared for the previous day's sales were sold out!

At this, Ma Wei was only slightly surprised, and quickly regained his composure.

The Olympic lottery is indeed very popular, but when you consider the total population of the Union countries, this number is still within the understandable range.

5 cents is indeed not expensive, it is equal to 2 pence, the price of a pound of black bread, and since the establishment of the Northern Alliance on March 1, the advanced industrial technology of the Kingdom of Windsor began to be imported into other Union countries, and the expansion of the market coupled with the sudden increase in taxes and land after the overthrow of the aristocracy, a more favorable business environment

The economies of all Union countries began to flourish.

The economic environment is very good, you can make money by doing anything, there is a shortage of workers everywhere, wages are starting to rise, bread that you can't afford to eat before can now be eaten to your heart's content, and meat that can only be eaten once a week is now eaten every day.

Everything is going in a good direction, 5 cents, what is it?

What's more, this is an official lottery ticket issued by the church!

It was also at the moment when he got the report that Dino realized that the credibility of the church in Mavi's mouth turned out to be more terrible than the personal credibility he had always believed.

There is no need for a reason, no rate of return, no bells and whistles, just a need to tell the public that this is a lottery issued by the Church of Truth, and the sales must be good.

The time has come when everyone believes and everyone supports it.

All the hard work that was put in before, all the cost, paid off in this moment.

"Maybe the Golden Gods, the Odin Gods, and the Apocalypse Gods have all experienced something similar, but this time."

Dino put down the report, took a puff of his cigarette, and said quietly: "The times belong to us." ”

The next day, the newspaper published the winning numbers of the previous day, and the winners could take the lottery tickets to the local church to redeem them, considering that some winners were inconvenient to participate, the church did not care about the transaction of the winning lottery tickets, in short, the winners could give up the opportunity and sell the lottery tickets to others for money.

The 5 places of the lottery ticket alone can be sold for at least 300 yuan, and if you count the special souvenirs, the price will be doubled several times.

This money is enough for an ordinary family to live a good life for a whole year.

As the Olympics approached, more tickets were sold, the weather began to get hotter, and the sun became hotter and hotter every day.

On August 1, half a month before the opening of the Olympic Games, the first batch of competitors from the Kingdom of Manitoba arrived in Stockholm and stayed at the hotel designated by the organizers.

In the next few days, delegations arrived in Stockholm one after another, and the farther countries arrived before the closer ones, such as the Kingdom of Queensland, which is the farthest away from the United Kingdom of Ruiwei, but it was the third delegation to arrive in Stockholm even though it was separated by two oceans.

In contrast, the delegations of the Romanov and Windsor kingdoms were last in line, a full day later than the delegations of the First Bonaparte Empire and the Roman Republic.

Mavi also came to Stockholm and stayed in the local church, and he didn't have to come, but he had recently received a letter from Napoleon, so he made a special trip.

In the letter, Napoleon first greeted him as a standard, and then euphemistically proposed to take advantage of the opportunity of the Olympics to discuss the future international situation, and to hold a secret world conference in Stockholm led by the First Bonaparte Empire.

As a gesture of goodwill, Napoleon personally came to Stockholm, and at his invitation, Caesar, William V, Saladin, and a total of 72 kings, including Abraham Lincoln, the new president of the United States of Citi, accompanied the delegation.

Ma Wei didn't expect them to have such courage to dare to set foot on the land of the enemy in the face of opposition.

He was very courageous, and Ma Wei admired it very much, and did not intend to take this opportunity to do it, but instead took on the right to host this international conference to ensure the personal safety of the kings.

To be honest, Mavi also wanted to know what medicine was sold in Napoleon's gourd.

The letter only said that it would discuss the future international situation, but the specific content was still unknown.

The news of the arrival of the 72 kings in Stockholm quickly spread, and people speculated about the reason behind it, some people said that the Church of Truth had signed a gambling agreement with the Apocalypse, and the losing side would surrender unconditionally to the other, some said that it was an important importance to the Magic Olympics, and some people thought that the kings would definitely have something important to discuss when they came together.

There are countless gossips outside, and Ma Wei doesn't pay much attention to it, what he really cares about is the safety of this group of kings!

72 kings, even if each person has one room, you have to find a big enough hotel, but how can a luxury hotel have 72 top suites?

You don't suffer from inequality, you live in a top suite for Napoleon, you live in a top suite for Caesar, you can't let the kings of those small countries go to live in ordinary rooms, right?

Isn't this a discrimination against Chiguoguo?

Accommodation problems, travel problems, food problems. Napoleon had a problem for Mavey, who received the letter the day before yesterday, and when he knew that Napoleon and the other king were going to Stockholm, there were only three days left for him to prepare!

To solve a series of problems such as accommodation and travel for 72 kings in three days, you can imagine how much pressure it will be.

Just when Mavi was in a hurry, Christopher proposed a solution: "Father, it is impossible to find a grand hotel, and Stockholm cannot be compared with cities like London and Mosk, and even London cannot find a hotel with 72 top suites!" ”

"In my opinion, instead of letting these kings live separately and dissatisfying everyone, and it is not good to carry out matters such as safety and travel, it is better to gather them all together!"

"Together?" Ma Wei frowned: "You mean, looking for a hotel with 72 suites?" ”

"That's right!" Christopher said quickly: "In order to welcome the huge number of tourists for the Olympic Games, Stockholm has built a lot of hotels for most of the year, and there are still two or three hotels with 72 junior suites!" ”

"But they're kings, is it abuse to let them stay in an ordinary hotel?"

"It's time to experience life! I'm used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and it's not bad to eat coarse grains occasionally! Besides, the church is also responsible for their safety, and if they are scattered, it is difficult to ensure the safety of their lives! ”

72 kings, how many bad intentions will be attracted?

Not to mention others, just say that the United States of Citi, which has just finished the Civil War, the new President Lincoln, was assassinated not long ago, who knows if the killer came to Stockholm with him?

Stockholm has seen a surge in the number of tourists recently, with at least hundreds of thousands of people pouring into the city, and there are not enough cats, let alone the Witchers and the Aurora Society.

In this chaotic situation, if the kings are still scattered, if they are not careful, I am afraid that something big will happen.

Compared with the living experience, safety is definitely the primary consideration, it's okay if you don't live well, it's okay if you don't eat well, it's okay to be shot twice by the murderer in the head!

There is an eternal realm, there is a high probability that you can't die, but you are not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if the king runs around, he happens to go to a place that the immortal realm has not covered, and he happens to run into the murderer, and there are no people around to protect him

Is this pot to be carried by the Church of Truth?

It's a bit of a deal!

Affect the international image, dear mother!

After much thought, Mavi finally made up his mind on the first night of the king's arrival in Stockholm, renting the largest hotel in the center of the city, and having the church members replace all the staff inside, replacing the cooks and waiters with nuns and monks, and the priests in charge, the first layer of security to be given to the witchers, the second layer of security to the Aurora Society, and the third layer of security to the Bloods.

The blood clan that can identify the identity through blood and qi, as long as it does not encounter special magic, it is still no problem to deal with some wrongdoers, it is simply a walking infrared detector.

Mavi greeted Napoleon and others at the station, and after some greetings, he took them to the center of the city, looking at the magnificent church in front of him, Napoleon nodded slightly, raised his feet forward, and just walked two steps before he heard Mavi shouting on the side: "This way!" ”

"Not here?"

Napoleon stopped, followed the sound and turned his head to look, only to see Marvey standing in front of a newly built five-story building beckoning to him, Levine winced his eyebrows, and motioned to the bishop next to him to hide the hotel sign.

Looking at the bishop who was quickly hiding his sign, and then at the hotel in front of him with a narrow window like a prison cell, Napoleon was silent: "Pope Mavi, is this?" ”

"The hotel prepared for you, sitting north and facing south, with excellent lighting, Levine, don't be stunned, hurry up and bring the box!"

"Got it!"

Levin quickly brought a wooden box with a hole in it to fit an arm, and Napoleon wondered, "What is this?" ”

"Lottery box, whichever number is drawn, you will stay in which room!"

Levine grinned:

"Fair, right?"
