Li Dayin's "guarantee" was not so detailed, but Zhao Ran and Pei Zhongze could hear it, and they were full of confidence. This self-confidence consists of two things: one is that he has the ability to run this tournament well, and the other is that he has the ability to make it impossible for others to do it here.

After a little thought, there is no need to say anything more, Zhao Ran and Pei Zhongze can be sure of his "guarantee".

If he had changed before, Zhao Ran didn't have any idea of cooperating with Li Dayin, but since he knew that the framework had been set above, there was no great need for him to screw it with the other party.

Zhao Ran thought for a while and said, "If Li Viceyin makes up his mind to do this business, I think there is a directional problem that needs to be changed. ”

"Directional?" Li Dayin was a little puzzled.

"Relying on opening gambling markets to make money, this direction is inappropriate, the level is too low, not high-end. ”

"What does it mean not to be high-end?"

"Public opinion is not good, reputation is bad, you will be scolded if you say it, and it is easy to lead to a lot of right and wrong in the future. Moreover, such a gambling method will ruin many families, and people in my generation of cultivators are also prone to get involved in too much cause and effect. ”

Li Dayin said disdainfully: "I want to earn money and make a reputation, is there such a good thing in the world? People want to scold them, we earn the silver in our hands, what can he do if he scolds the heavens? How can Abbot Zhao act so benevolently? As for cause and effect, I will talk about it after the conformity, and if I don't like it, I Li Dayin don't expect anything to be in harmony, and I can live a few more decades, and enjoy a few more decades of glory and wealth, which is enough to comfort my life. ”

Zhao Ran said: "Can you listen to my method first? We don't open a gambling plate, we open a practice lottery." For example, if you and I play a match, set one person as the defending side, the defending side wins, it is a win, the defending side loses, it is a loss, if the two sides have the same number of strokes, it is a draw. We arrange twelve pairs of monks to compete in each period, and there will be twelve results, and then according to the order of appearance, we will get twelve permutations of victory and defeat and a combination of three characters......"

Li Dayin said: "This is not very different from our opening market......

Zhao Ran continued to say patiently: "We released the profiles of the twelve pairs of players in the "Junshan Notes" in advance, so that everyone can guess the order of the winners and losers of this group, and buy the corresponding lottery tickets in this order. For example, a piece of silver. Let's say we sell 1,000,000 lottery tickets and we make a public commitment to give 50,000 taels of silver to the prize, which is called a jackpot. Then we redeem the prize according to the proportion, for example, 20% of them will reward all winners, 20% will reward 11 out of 12, 20% will reward 12 out of 10, and so on, as long as you can guess 8 out of 12, you can participate in the division of the prize pool. ”

"Fifty percent of the prize pool? What if there are a lot of people in the whole group?"

"Suppose the total amount of each lottery ticket is 100,000 taels, no matter how many of them are all won, they will be divided in this 10,000 silver. ”

"If there is only one, then it is equal to 10,000 taels in a penny?"

Zhao Ran smiled: "Isn't it very exciting to have a 100,000-fold income?" Therefore, our slogan is to build a 10,000-dollar household in the first phase!"

Li Dayin gasped, and then smiled: "Even I was moved when I heard it." This is really, more exciting than taking silver to bet in a gambling house, which gambling house can let you win 10,000 taels with a penny of silver? never!"

After thinking about it, he said: "The only problem, a million lottery tickets, I'm afraid I can't sell them, right? I'm afraid that everyone in the whole capital buys this kind of lottery tickets from old to young, and it's enough to count......

Zhao Ran said: "That's not it, for example, Li Viceyin, if you go to buy a lottery ticket, will you only buy one? According to my speculation, as long as you have the ability to pay a penny of silver to buy a lottery ticket, most of them will not buy only one, and it is more likely that he will buy all the three results of the few competitions that he is not sure of." ”

Li Dayin nodded: "Makes sense!"

Zhao Ran continued: "In addition, if you only sell lottery tickets in Beijing, no matter how good the sales are, the prospects are still limited, so it is necessary to distribute points throughout the country, and strive for at least one lottery spot in each province in advance, both sell lottery tickets and exchange rewards, so that people do not leave the province, you can get the lottery according to the results of the competition announced on the "Junshan Notes". In the second step, we will spread to more than 100 state capitals to include more bettors. Remember, because of the price, our lottery tickets are sold not only to monks, magnates, gentry, and wealthy merchants, but also to rich peasants, craftsmen, peddlers, pawns, and officials ......who are well-fed and clothed."

Zhao Ran pointed to the bank of the Qinhuai River outside the curtain: "Even these Qinglou women." Remember our slogan, a training ball competition, the birth of a million silver households! And we really promise not to compromise, we will do it!"

Li Dayin's eyes were full of light and he praised: "This is good! I completely agree." ”

Zhao Ran asked: "I wonder if Li Vice-Yin has the ability to set up a lottery ticket sales outlet?"

Li Dayin hesitated: "Relying on the government?" Without waiting for Zhao Ran to speak, he denied this idea: "No, these gang of money beetles, if you really want to let them do it, I'm afraid I don't know how much ...... will eat me"

After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll do it myself!" but he was still embarrassed: "I'm afraid it's too late to ...... time."

After thinking about it for a long time, he had to surrender to Zhao Ran: "Abbot Zhao, it's better to rely on the distribution points of "Junshan Notes", what do you think? ”

This was proposed by Li Dayin, Zhao Ran had no opinion, Li Dayin built a distribution network from scratch, not only was it too late, but the cost was too expensive, since he chose to give up, then Zhao Ran took it over.

The reason why Zhao Ran dared to issue lottery tickets in the two capitals and thirteen provinces,The biggest reliance is two,One is the mature distribution point of "Junshan Notes",It has been paved to more than 100 state capitals across the country,The other is that the cost has been initially reduced significantly.

In May last year, with the financial support of Zhao Ran, Long Qingjian, a scattered person in Yangcao Mountain, finally developed the cost reduction method of the flying talisman, and the method was to split the rune function of the flying talisman and continue to simplify.

The part of the rune that carries the message is proposed and refined separately, and the part of the rune used for the load is also processed separately. Although the principle is simple, it is extremely difficult to operate, at that time, Zhao Ran was fighting the drought with all his might, even if he was too busy to touch the ground, he also took time to discuss the principle of runes with Long Qingjian.

As a result, two kinds of flying talismans have been formed, one is a flying talisman that can only transmit information, and the content of its message has been greatly reduced to no more than 140 characters, and the other is a flying talisman that can only transmit items, and the total weight of the items contained does not exceed one catty.

After this split, the refining consumables of the flying talisman have been reduced a lot, and the refining time has been greatly shortened, and the cost of the flying talisman has been reduced to five coins of silver, and the cost of the flying talisman has also been reduced to one or two silver.
