Zhao Ran smiled and shook his head and continued to pay attention to the competition. After the competition of the Jindan Mage category was completed, he took a break for half an hour in the afternoon and then began the highlight, the four games of the Archmage level.
In the eyes of others, Zhao Ran felt a lack of interest in the game. As an organizer, his mentality when watching the game often changed. The focus was always away from the game itself and more about whether the game satisfied the players and whether
Making the audience happy, whether there are any loopholes in the rules, and whether the penalty can convince the audience. There should have been a highest standard - whether it can satisfy the leader, but now it does not exist for him. This criterion has also been replaced by whether it can make money.
Losing the original fun, perhaps this is also the tragedy of most event organizers.
On that day, all twelve games in the first round of the winter competition were over. The audience was happily talking about leaving. In addition to "Junshan Notes", "Gossip" and "Longhu Mountain", more than a dozen other players had sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
The interview teams sent by small publications were also busy rushing to publish articles. The competing monks either went to celebrate their victory or received comfort from relatives and friends. All kinds of joys and sorrows were staged one after another, while Xiangluxuan was a busy mess, starting to count the lottery tickets.
The number of winning bets.
Mo Buping watched all the games with satisfaction, and then walked out of the field happily. He was excited but also a little nervous. He knew clearly that the lottery he bought had won two bets, but he still felt a little uneasy. He didn't see the official announcement of the competition, so it didn't count.
You can’t win the prize, no, if you don’t get money from Four Seasons Bank, you can’t win the prize!
The next day, Mo Buping came outside Chaotian Palace, where many lottery players had gathered. Everyone was exchanging their views on yesterday's game, laughing or regretting. The official announcement had not yet been released, and everyone was
Waiting.
Mo Buping was patted on the shoulder from behind, and he was startled. He turned around and found that it was the old man he met when he was buying lottery tickets that day. The old man looked at him with a smile and said: "Thanks to Xiao Mo that day, old man, I
I won a mysterious prize, otherwise it would only be a yellow prize, and I don’t know how much silver the mysterious prize can be exchanged for.”
Mo Buping said: "Senior, I only made two wrong numbers. It's not easy. How can I have a hundred and ten taels? I'm not talking about seniors, how can I buy Gu Sui Yuan Sheng?"
The old man sighed: "If I had to buy according to your first bet, wouldn't it be a heavenly prize? Alas, there is no luck in wealth, and the money I got is gone..."
The two chatted for a while. It turned out that the old man's surname was Gu. If Mo Buping, who was not familiar with Gu's Villa, had never seen this man, he would have thought that the old man and Gu Suiyuan were the same family. Otherwise, how could he buy Gu Suiyuan?
I thought again, it’s a good thing you didn’t buy the same one as me. The prize pool is only so big. If you win, wouldn’t mine be less? It seems that I need to keep a tighter seal on the tickets I buy in the future and not let others look at them easily.
"
In the afternoon, notices began to be posted outside Chaotian Palace. It was the announcement of the lottery winnings. It was just one line of twelve words, and I don't know how many people's hearts were touched.
Three bets for the Heaven Prize were won, totaling 7,900 taels, each bet was more than 2,600 taels; thirty-five bets for the Earth Prize were won, with each bet being 225 taels; and 430 bets for the Mysterious Prize were won.
If you win the yellow prize, you will bet eighteen taels or three cents for each bet; if you bet more than 6,100 gold prizes, you will be worth one, two or three cents of silver for each bet; if you bet more than 35,000 yuan for the human prize, you will be two cents of silver for each bet.
Mo Buping clenched his fists hard. He won two bets, one for the sky prize and one for the ground prize, which added up to two thousand nine hundred taels! And his contribution was one tael and one silver. There is nothing more profitable than this.
It's a matter of fact. The income is more than 2,000 times, which is more profitable than entering the lottery. No, the lottery is incomparable with the lottery, and it is not worthy of carrying shoes for the lottery!
All this is thanks to Zhang Tengming. If I hadn’t bought it wrong at the time, I would have won a land prize at most. Do you want to find time to invite Zhang Tengming to dinner to express your gratitude?
In addition to Mo Buping, there are also many winners present, but most of them are human prizes. There are more than ten yellow prizes and only three black prizes. The only one who can win the sky prize and the earth prize is Mo Buping. Because the old man
With a sigh, Mo Buping was immediately surrounded by the crowd. Many people were beating their chests and regretting it after hearing that Mo Buping bought eleven bets at a time.
Someone immediately said harshly: "In the next round, I will buy twelve bets, no, buy thirty-six bets. It only costs three or two six cents of silver. I can afford it! I bought them all..."
Immediately, several people rolled their eyes: "You want to buy all the thirty-six bets? Brother, are you having some misunderstanding?"
Others sneered: "I'm afraid this man's arithmetic was taught by an equestrian teacher..."
Mo Buping joked with them for a while, and then the dozen or so winners rushed to the Four Seasons Bank at the east end of the Qinhuai River. When they arrived, there was already a long queue.
Seeing this scene, Old Man Gu said to Mo Buping: "Little friend Mo, I suggest you come back at another time. There are too many people. Old man, I will leave first."
Before Mo Buping could figure out why he had to come back at another time to redeem his prize, a smart man who was traveling with him shouted: "Everyone, give way, the winner of the Heavenly Prize is here!"
This voice immediately attracted the attention of hundreds of people. Amid countless envious glances, a group of people came to the front. The shopkeeper personally welcomed him in, checked the authenticity of the lottery ticket, and checked the signature. After checking that it was correct, he issued the ticket on the spot.
Twenty-nine silver notes were handed over to Mo Buping in front of hundreds of people.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen reporters from various magazines who had been waiting here for a long time rushed forward, asking questions one after another, asking Mo Buping to talk about his gratitude for winning the prize...
After Zhao Ran and Pei Zhongze finished their afternoon homework, Li Dayin went to Jingyang Building. He breathed a long sigh of relief and sat down in the top chair on the platform: "The first issue has finally been successfully issued, and the redemption of prizes is also very good.
It went well, and the response was extremely enthusiastic! The next issue will be released soon, and it is estimated that it will be driven by the redemption of prizes in the first issue and achieve greater growth. Thanks to Four Seasons Bank, they have enough positions to handle withdrawals, otherwise I really don’t know
Will there be any trouble? Zhiran is really considerate."
Pei Zhongze was also very happy, but he was just a little worried: "Our original slogan was to create a 'ten thousand silver account' in one phase. In this phase, we only won more than two thousand silver at most. Will we be criticized for this?"
Zhao Ran said: "There may be some impact, but the major journals are in our hands, so we are not afraid. I even thought that this was a gimmick that could be hyped up. The title was 'When will Wan Yinhu appear——
Stay tuned for the next lottery draw'.”
Li Dayin laughed loudly and clapped his hands.
Mo Buping became popular, and he himself did not expect it to become popular in this way. This issue of "Junshan Notes", "Bagua", "Longhu Mountain" and "Inside and Outside the Imperial City" and other publications have published it
The news that he won the Sky Prize was also published with an on-site interview with him, asking him to talk about his betting experience and the use of the bonus. On the contrary, the other two winners who also won the Sky Prize rarely mentioned it.
So much so that when walking on the streets of the capital, he is often recognized by people - the report is accompanied by a bust of him, which is vividly painted and easily identifiable.
