Li Dayin's "guarantee" was not so detailed, but both Zhao Ran and Pei Zhongze could hear it. It was full of confidence. This confidence included two things: first, he has the ability to run this competition well;
It is he who has the ability to make things impossible for others here.
After thinking about it for a moment, there was no need to say anything more. Both Zhao Ran and Pei Zhongze were convinced of his "guarantee".
Before, Zhao Ran would have had no idea of cooperating with Li Dayin, but since he knew that the structure had been set by the superiors, he didn't have much need to forcefully fight with the other party.
Zhao Ran thought for a while and said: "If Li Fuyin is determined to start this business, I think there is a directional issue that needs to be changed."
"Directional problem?" Li Dayin was a little confused.
"Relying on gambling to make money is not appropriate. The level is too low and not high-end."
“What does not high-end mean?”
"The public opinion is not good and the reputation is not good. If you speak out, you will be scolded by others, which will easily lead to a lot of trouble in the future. Moreover, gambling like this will ruin many people's lives. As a practitioner, we are also prone to too many karma."
Li Dayin said disdainfully: "I want to make money and fame at the same time. Is there such a good thing in the world? If people want to scold them, let them scold them. We have made the money in our hands, so what can he do if he scolds God? How can Abbot Zhao act like this?
Such a woman's benevolence? As for cause and effect, we will wait until after the Tao is achieved. To put it bluntly, I, Li Dayin, don't really expect to be able to survive the practice, live for a few more decades, and enjoy a few more years.
Ten years of glory and wealth are enough to comfort me for a lifetime."
Zhao Ran said: "Can you listen to my method first? We don't open a betting market, we open a practice lottery. For example, if you and I compete in a competition, set one person to be the defender. If the defender wins, it will be the winner.
, if the defending team loses, it will be a loss. If both sides have the same score, it will be a tie. We arrange twelve pairs of monks to compete in each period, and there will be twelve results, and then they will be sorted according to the order of appearance.
Get twelve permutations of winning and losing and three-character combinations..."
Li Dayin said: "This is not very different from our opening..."
Zhao Ran continued patiently: "We publish the profiles of the twelve pairs of players in "Junshan Notes" in advance, allowing everyone to guess the order of the winning and losing sums of this group, and buy the corresponding lottery tickets in this order. For example, a
One piece of silver. Suppose we sell one million lottery tickets, and we publicly promise to use 50,000 taels of silver as bonuses. This is called a bonus pool. Then we redeem the prizes in proportion, such as 20% of the reward.
For those who get all the answers, 20% will be rewarded for those who get 11 out of 12, and 20% will be awarded for those who get 10 out of 12, and so on. As long as you can guess eight out of 12 correctly, you can participate in the prize pool."
"50% is used as a bonus pool? What if there are many winners?"
"Assuming that the total amount of lottery tickets sold in each issue is one hundred thousand taels, no matter how many people win, they will all share the profits in this ten thousand taels."
"If there is only one, is it equivalent to ten thousand taels of silver for one coin?"
Zhao Ran smiled: "Isn't it exciting to earn 100,000 times the income? Therefore, our slogan is to create a 10,000-bank account in one phase!"
Li Dayin took a breath, and then smiled: "Even I was moved when I heard it. This is really more exciting than betting in a gambling house with money. Which gambling house can let you win with one dollar of silver?
Ten thousand taels? Never!"
After thinking for a while, he said: "The only problem is that one million lottery tickets cannot be sold, right? If everyone in the entire capital, from old to young, buys this kind of lottery ticket, then it will be enough..."
Zhao Ran said: "That's not the case. For example, Li Fuyin, if you were to buy lottery tickets, would you only buy one? According to my guess, as long as you can afford to spend a penny to buy lottery tickets, most people will not buy just one.
Zhang, is more likely to buy all three outcomes of those competitions that he was unsure about."
Li Dayin nodded: "That makes sense!"
Zhao Ran continued: "In addition, if lottery tickets are only sold in Beijing, no matter how good the sales are, the prospects will still be limited. Therefore, we must set up locations across the country and strive for at least one lottery point in each province in advance to sell lottery tickets and redeem rewards.
, people can get bonuses based on the competition results published in "Junshan Notes" without leaving the province. In the second step, we will spread to more than 100 state capitals to include more lottery players. Remember
Live, because of the price, our lottery tickets are sold to not only monks, dignitaries, gentry, and wealthy businessmen, but also rich farmers, craftsmen, traffickers, and subordinates who are well-fed, clothed, and warm with plenty of money..."
Zhao Ran pointed to the bank of the Qinhuai River outside the curtain: "Even these brothel girls. Remember our slogan, one training ball competition will give birth to a millionaire! And we really promise not to compromise, and we will definitely do it!
"
Li Dayin's eyes gleamed and he praised: "This is good! I completely agree."
Zhao Ran asked: "I wonder if Li Fuyin has the ability to operate an outlet selling lottery tickets?"
Li Dayin hesitated and said: "Relying on the government?" Before Zhao Ran could say anything, he rejected the idea: "No, these gangsters are money beetles. If I really let them do it, I'm afraid they 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 I won't have enough time..."
After deliberation for a long time, he had no choice but to surrender to Zhao Ran: "Abbot Zhao, why not rely on the distribution points of "Junshan Notes", what do you think? You can share part of the profits to these distribution points."
This was Li Dayin's initiative, and Zhao Ran naturally had no objection. Li Dayin would not only have no time to build a distribution network from scratch, but it would also be too expensive. Since he chose to give up, Zhao Ran naturally took over.
The biggest reason why Zhao Ran dares to issue lottery tickets in two capitals and thirteen provinces is based on two factors. First, the mature distribution points of "Junshan Notes" have been spread to more than 100 state capitals across the country. Second, the cost has been initially realized.
The flying talisman dropped significantly.
In May of last year, with Zhao Ran's unswerving financial support, Long Qingwei, a Sanren from Yangcao Mountain, finally developed a cost reduction method for the flying talisman. The method was to split the rune functions of the flying talisman and continue to simplify them.
The part of the runes that carried the message was extracted and refined separately, and the part of the runes used to carry the goods were also processed separately. Although the principle was simple, the operation was extremely difficult. At that time, Zhao Ran was doing his best to fight the drought, even if he was busy
With his feet off the ground, he also took out time to discuss the principles of runes with Long Qingwei.
As a result, two kinds of flying talismans were formed. One is a flying talisman that can only transmit messages, and its message content has been greatly reduced to no more than 140 words; the other is a flying talisman that can only transmit items.
The total weight of the items carried does not exceed one kilogram.
After this split, the refining consumables of the flying talisman have been reduced a lot, and the refining time has been greatly shortened. The cost of the communication flying talisman has been reduced to five coins, and the cost of the teleportation flying talisman has also been reduced to one or two silver.
