Chapter 66 Lottery Players (Part 4 of 515 Activities)
Those who only bought one bet did not show any nostalgia, but those who bought five, ten, or even more bets all stayed. Dozens of people gradually gathered near the lottery ticket point. As the crowd grew, it affected the people behind.
With the intervention of the monks from Chaotian Palace, the team that bought lottery tickets all retreated more than twenty feet away, and leaned against the wall of Chaotian Palace to exchange their thoughts lively.
Mo Buping is a monk who made it to the second round of the group stage. He can be said to be a professional among those who buy lottery tickets. Therefore, after a few brief comments about the top eight players mentioned above, he immediately attracted the interest of many "lottery players".
Among them, there are especially many ordinary people without cultivation.
An old man nodded after listening for a while, and came over to look at the bets he bought. When he saw the first bet, he couldn't help but shake his head: "Let's not talk about the rest, let's just talk about the last one, you actually bought Longhushan Zhang Tengming
Winning, what is the meaning of this? Betting cannot only be based on the reputation of the sect. Longhushan is the leader of the Taoist sect. This is true in itself, but it is the overall strength of the sect, which is supported by dozens of senior practitioners above the refiner level.
, when it comes to individuals, it cannot be calculated like this. For example, if you compare the high-level cultivators above Lianxu alone, Longhu Mountain is actually not very strong, there are only three of them, which is slightly unmatched by the strength of the sect... I mean
, Although Zhang Tengming is a direct descendant of Longhu Mountain, his personal cultivation is far behind, so he will definitely lose this battle!"
Being able to say these words shows that the old man must be a monk, but he is not wearing a monk's robe, so his cultivation level cannot be seen. His views are actually the same as Mo Buping's. If he had not clicked the wrong button, he would not have bought such a thing.
One note.
But Mo Buping had made a lot of comments earlier, and he already regarded himself as an expert in this group of people. If he admitted that he had made the wrong choice, he would not be able to live with it, so he defended himself even more for Zhang Tengming.
"Have seniors seen Zhang Tengming's performance in the three rounds of the group stage?"
"Of course I have. I have been obsessed with football in the past few years. I never failed to win every game when I had this opportunity. Zhang Tengming was almost eliminated in every round. If it weren't for his amazing luck, he would have been eliminated long ago... By the way, I'm looking at you.
Looks familiar. I remember you. You were the No. 17 who was in the same group as Zhang Tengming during the re-election, right? Haha, I also watched your re-election. No wonder... Speaking of which, it was a pity for you in the second round. What about that shot?
Playing? Playing against the stars in the sky? And in the first round, you will make a major mistake in almost every game..."
Mo Buping's face was slightly red and he said: "Senior, as you said, Zhang Tengming is surprisingly lucky. If I buy him to win, what I buy is his luck! As for the juniors, their luck is far worse. We can only work hard next year.
.”
The old man was startled: "Luck?"
Mo Buping said: "Buying lottery tickets is just to try your luck. If you don't buy it, who will win?"
The old man woke up from a dream and clapped his hands and said: "That's right, I am indeed an expert. Is I a descendant of the Lingshan Mo family?"
"yes."
"Let's talk later, I'll go make up my mind first!"
There was a long queue, and more than ten sales points in the capital were overcrowded, so Li Dayin asked Zhao Ran for more lottery wooden boxes. Zhao Ran immediately flew the talisman and asked the San people of Yangcao Mountain to rush to make ten of them overnight.
, and sent it to the capital as a teleportation flying talisman, which slightly eased the pressure on each sales point.
That night, the wooden lottery ticket box at the Chaotian Palace sales point ran out of paper and ink. The monk couldn't keep an eye on it anymore. He stopped asking for more paper and ink from Xiangluxuan and said to the people who were still queuing: "This is the end of today's sale, everyone.
Come back tomorrow morning." Ignoring the uproar of the crowd, he checked the money he received in his storage artifact. After verifying that it was correct, he twisted the mechanism at the bottom of the wooden box, fired the talisman array, and sent the lottery records for today's sale to Purple Mountain.
Incense Burner Pavilion.
In Xiangluxuan, Li Dayin's junior brothers each divided their provinces into provinces. They constantly received sales receipts from sales outlets in various places, and then stuffed the receipts into a large cabinet that was about ten feet high.
The wooden box and cabinet are the lottery instruments developed by the San people of Yangcao Mountain with the ideas provided by Zhao Ran. The principle is very simple. The wooden box is a recording instrument. By storing the special paper and ink (anti-counterfeiting) in it, the bettor can click the button.
The winning and losing and three words are tapped on the paper. After typing a group, the operator "turns back" to change the line.
After all the knocking is done, the name of the bettor is marked using the principle of a copying table, and the bottom copy is kept. The copy copy is spit out and given to the ticket purchaser. At the end of each day, the bottom copy is sent directly to the recipient with a flying talisman in the wooden box.
The recipient then sends it to the receiving cabinet.
The structure of the receiving cabinet is a little more complicated. The identification array is composed of Wei Dao symbols, and then another set of symbol arrays are specially designed for induction and arrangement to calculate the number of bets for various combinations.
When the battle results come out, compare the results from the cabinet, filter out the winning betting numbers, and send them to the designated partner bank of the competition - Four Seasons Bank.
The bettors check the lottery tickets in their hands according to the results published in "Junshan Notes". The one who wins all the tickets will be awarded the sky prize and will share 20% of the prize pool. The one who wins 11 out of 12 will be the ground prize and will share 20% of the prize pool.
By analogy, those who score 8 out of 12 are guaranteed to win, while those who score 7 out of 12 or below are not.
When redeeming prizes, go to Four Seasons Bank in various places to get silver, and exchange the anti-counterfeiting and signed lottery tickets in your hands for bonuses. Four Seasons Bank is a time-honored bank opened by Ge Zaoshan. It has branches in every province and capital of the Ming Dynasty, and more than 50% of the
There is also a branch office in the state capital, which is strong and has a wide network coverage.
After Zhao Ran and Ge Zaoshan reached this deal, Four Seasons Bank became a partner of the competition. All competition money was stored and transferred in Four Seasons Bank. The specific person in charge was Amber. An from Chunyang Pavilion on Lushan Mountain.
Bo Xiang swore to Zhao Ran that Sihai Bank would take advantage of this opportunity and strive to achieve full coverage of all prefectures in the Ming Dynasty within two years, so that every bettor can purchase and purchase lottery tickets conveniently without leaving the house.
exchange.
On the last day of September, various lottery sales outlets completed the sale of the first phase of the practice ball lottery of the 28th year of Jiajing. According to the statistics of the receiving cabinet, a total of more than 78,000 taels of lottery tickets were sold. This is more than what Zhao Ran said
The said one hundred thousand taels is less, but considering this is the first time it is released, it is enough to make people look forward to its prospects.
The lottery pool accounts for half, totaling more than 39,000 taels. The heaven prize, the earth prize, the mysterious prize, the yellow prize, and the human prize are each 7,900 taels. If someone can win the sky prize, it will cost seven thousand taels for one coin of silver.
Nine hundred taels can barely be called a "ten thousand silver account".
Another 39,000 taels, more than 10,000 taels were given to Jian Jiguan, 7,880 taels were given to the Ministry of Household Affairs, 3,990 taels were given to Li Dayin, 5,880 taels were given to Huayun Pavilion, and the last nine thousand taels were handed over to Li Dayin and Qingyun Pavilion.
Half and half.
It may not sound like much, but if this income can be achieved "every week" in the future, it would be amazing.
