Chapter 215 Issuing Lottery Tickets
The red coral sparkled under the light, and its shape was natural and very beautiful. This was a red coral that was rarely seen in a century. Bi Yue had found it on the seabed. She knew it was very valuable, so she had kept it in her treasure bag. Today the auction would open, and she could sell it at a high price through bidding, which would be another deal with no capital investment for her.
Chen Xia picked up the microphone and began to introduce the guests below and the VIPs in each box.
"This is a complete piece of red coral, uncarved, fished out from the deep sea. It's of very good quality. The current bid price is 10 taels of silver, and each bid cannot be less than 2 taels."
"One hundred thousand taels."
"One hundred thousand taels."
"28 taels"
"One hundred thousand taels."
"One hundred thousand taels."
No one followed, so Chen Xia said, "40 taels for one time, 40 taels for two times, 40 taels for three times, deal, VIP room 906, the red coral is yours."
After all the items are confirmed, Chen Dong and Chen Nan will take the goods to the bidders' private rooms to deliver and collect the payment on the spot.
In another VIP box, here are Biyue, Luochen, Chenchen, Chen Qingyun and his wife, and grandparents.
This private room is reserved for family use. It is relatively large, with an area of 15 square meters. It is elegantly decorated with sofas, chairs, mahogany armchairs, fragrant tea brewed on a small red stove, fruit platters, peanuts, melon seeds, nuts, water, and everything else.
Everyone has seen the first auction today. It was very successful and the harvest was rich. Everyone had a happy smile on their face. My daughter/granddaughter is so capable.
Chen Xia picked up the microphone and said to the guests, "Today's auction ends here. Let's meet here again in half a month."
Some people in the audience only knew about the auction, which is only held twice a month. The items in it are really coveted by many people, but the prices are not cheap. However, there are still many customers who hope to buy their favorite items in half a month.
The first auction was very successful, with huge transaction volume, earning nearly 200 million taels of silver. Money makes things easier, so in the following time, they began to expand into the lottery market.
He first bought three courtyards facing the streets in the east, south and north of the capital, demolished all the doorways and turned them into lottery windows.
The first one is a window that sells lottery tickets, as well as several types of scratch tickets.
The second window for redeeming lottery tickets has a trend chart on the wall.
There is also a storefront that sells various beverages, snacks, bottled water, tea, etc.
Because the emperor's order has been issued, all the veterans registered across the country have been registered. They are riding on the flying instruments issued by Bi Yue to handle this matter across the country. This way, they can act more quickly.
The lottery center is currently in the capital, and has opened three sales outlets. Retired soldiers with some disabilities who can read and write are given priority. After ten days of training, they are arranged to sell lottery tickets here, and their monthly salary is two taels of silver.
Those who were not married had to eat in the cafeteria behind the auction center. Each employee was given a card with his or her name and portrait on it. Each person, regardless of gender, was given one or two taels of silver per month for meal expenses.
If they didn't finish the meal, they could continue to use it next month. If they had a bigger appetite, they could buy their own meal ticket after finishing the meal. All the employees were very satisfied. Such a good thing happened to them, and everyone was very happy. Even the soldiers who had not yet been discharged were envious when they knew their friends were treated now.
The lottery was in full swing, and Bi Yue sent people to nearby counties to send homeless orphans and poor people to the Ciyou Home, and recruit children over 10 years old.
The younger ones were taught to read and write, and the older ones helped with things within their ability while learning. As his business grew bigger and bigger, more and more people were needed, so he recruited these children and ended their wandering and miserable days. Now, not only can they have enough food and clothes and lie in a warm bed every night, they can also learn cultural knowledge and live a fairy-like life.
Bi Yue makes money in the hope of helping more people escape from suffering and live an ordinary life.
The auction caused a huge uproar in Kyoto the next day, and the news spread like a flood to the surrounding counties and prefectures. People were talking about bone-breaking pills, hemostatic pills, limb regeneration fluid, and longevity pills.
The teahouse and the wine shop were very busy. Whenever people sat down to eat, they would always discuss this matter. Some people just complained that the price was too high.
Some people retort, "You still think it's too expensive? This is a medicine that the goddess bought from her immortal master in heaven. How can there be such a miraculous medicine in the mortal world?" You don't even think about it. You are so stupid. Don't you know that rare goods are valuable?
Biyue’s current goal is to make money, lots of money, so that she can do more things and help more people.
We certainly cannot sell such a precious thing at a low price at the moment, otherwise it will lose its value.
The farther the news spreads, the better, so that people in other countries will also know that she has such a heaven-defying treasure in her hands, so that it can gather more wealth. What she wants to do is not only for this country, but also for the beliefs in her heart. Coming here must leave a colorful page.
Do some good things for the people here, do what I can, and think to myself that the second auction will definitely be even more popular.
The format and operation of the lottery are promoted and issued according to the welfare lottery model of the previous life. The prize is drawn every two days. Today is the first day of the draw. I am sure that there must be many people at the sales point and it must be very lively.
Biyue, Xiaomai and Chen Chun went to the lottery sales point in Dongcheng to see today's lottery results.
There are currently only three types of lottery: 1. Double Color Ball, 2. In the past, there was a sports lottery, which was renamed Changping National 7-Star Lottery, 3. Fortune Lottery,
There are 30 numbers on it. Choose 5 numbers at random and match them with the winning numbers. The prize money is divided into two levels, first prize and second prize. The winner is determined by how many numbers you matched, and the corresponding silver money is returned.
There are scratch tickets, 5 cents per ticket, with rewards. Fortunately, the lottery station had two windows, otherwise it would be crowded.
At the beginning, I chose three kinds of lotteries. During the process of claiming the prizes, someone won the prize. They called out and shouted excitedly, took their lottery tickets and went in to claim the prizes.
Bi Yue was very pleased to see this scene. She had finally established the lottery business in this feudal dynasty. Fortunately, the monarch of this country was relatively open-minded and supported what she wanted to do, so she also wanted to help more and protect the people of this country together.
Disabled soldiers from surrounding areas also came to the capital one after another.
