Chapter 40: Sending away 10 million

Someone is coming from above, Hui'an must be safe.

No matter who makes trouble at this critical juncture, they will all be investigated and dealt with strictly. If they are not killed, they will be skinned alive.

No one dares, not even Gao Wu.

For the next two days, Lei Zhen concentrated on arranging the preparations before the lottery.

He visited Sixth Brother and asked him to assign some people to maintain order on the scene during the lottery to ensure that various problems would not arise.

Secondly, at a price of 50 yuan a day, they hired many people to carry lottery advertising banners around the city to attract as much attention as possible.

Not only that, all the surrounding towns and mines also sent people to advertise.

On Wednesday night, the tiger head was brought in and placed in the center of the roller skating rink.

On the left are piles of cash, on the right are gold bricks and gold bars, and in front are more than ten Santanas lined up in a row.

The prizes and the grand occasion drove the citizens who saw it crazy.

"The special prize is a Tiger Benz, the first prize is a Santana, and the second prize is a Golden Brick..."

"Oh my God, this is real, not fake!"

“…”

No matter how good the advertisement is, it is not as shocking as the real thing. That night, the whole Hui'an fell into a sleepless night.

Everyone was anxiously waiting for the long night to pass so that they could rush to the scene to draw the lottery as soon as possible tomorrow. Maybe they would be the lucky winner of the grand prize.

At seven o'clock in the morning, when Lei Zhen walked out of the lounge, he was shocked by the huge crowd in front of him.

Looking around, there were crowds of people in all directions, even the surrounding roads were paralyzed. And now is just the starting point, and there is still an hour before the lottery.

“Not enough manpower!”

This was Lei Zhen’s first reaction. He quickly called Su Fengyi.

"Sister Su, immediately arrange for 300 people to come to the lottery site. I didn't expect so many people. Hurry up, the lottery will start in an hour."

After hanging up the phone, Lei Zhen called Leopard Head over.

"Print 20 million more lottery tickets!"

This was the second thing scheduled. Because there were unexpectedly many people coming, we deliberately decided to schedule it on Thursday.

Don’t you all go to work?

But what is certain is that today is only the first wave, and it is far from reaching the peak. The real peak will come after people from surrounding towns and mines arrive.

"Hurry up and open the door for the lottery!"

"Don't dawdle, it's really frustrating!"

"Hurry up, the scented oil on my hands is almost rubbed off..."

All twelve passages are guarded by the men led by Sixth Brother, and the deterrence of uniforms can ensure that there will be no chaos.

The lottery venue inside was staffed by hundreds of staff members, plus hundreds of people led by Abin to maintain order and ensure the safety of the prizes.

More than half an hour later, the three hundred public security police officers contacted by Su Fengyi arrived and were responsible for maintaining order in the periphery.

It’s eight o’clock, and the lottery begins!

The first group of people ran in from 12 channels and took out money to recharge their membership.

"I topped up 100 yuan and touched it 20 times!"

"I'll top up 200 yuan, please register quickly!"

“…”

The registration process was quite fast. There were four people at each entrance responsible for registration, who then summarized the information for Xiao Ran and entered it into the computer.

This is necessary. Recharging membership to obtain lottery qualification is considered a legal circumvention.

"Damn, my hands shouldn't be that smelly, they're all laundry detergent!"

"Haha, I won a color TV!"

"Mercedes-Benz! Mercedes-Benz! Mercedes-Benz! ...Haha, I didn't win a Mercedes-Benz, but I won a gold bar. I'm rich!"

At the lottery scene, some people were upset while others were ecstatic. In a short period of time, some people won gold bars and made tens of thousands of dollars.

There are also many people who won refrigerators, bicycles, color TVs and other items.

"Santana! Hahahaha..."

"I won Santana! Hahahaha..."

A young man shouted in ecstasy and came to the prize redemption office holding the lottery ticket.

"Congratulations to this gentleman for winning the first prize!"

As the prize redeemer gave an affirmative voice, the sound of firecrackers rang out.

In the end, the young man chose to exchange 200,000 yuan in cash and left with the money under countless envious gazes.

The appearance of the first prize instantly pushed the enthusiasm to a new level.

Throughout the day, many prizes were given out, including three Santanas, seven or eight gold bricks, and dozens of gold bars.

Plus refrigerators, color TVs, washing machines, etc., such a high winning rate has driven many people crazy.

At the beginning, these people were relatively restrained and spent only a few dozen dollars to play, but later on, after getting addicted, they would spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

At 6 pm, the membership draw and grand prize draw ended.

Lei Zhen sat steadily in the lounge, waiting for Xiao Ran to finish the statistics.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, more than a dozen bulging sacks filled with money were brought into the lounge.

"Eighteen million...Eighteen million..."

Xiao Ran, who walked in, was absent-minded and kept repeating "eighteen million" in his mouth.

"How many?"

"Eighteen million!"

Lei Zhen was also scared, this was 1995.

Sales in one day reached 18 million, which means 3.6 million lottery tickets were sold.

It’s only the first day, it’s so fucking scary, it turns out that lottery tickets are a blatant robbery.

After deducting the prizes redeemed today, I made at least over 10 million!

"Isn't it just 18 million? It's still early." Lei Zhen spread his hands: "The jackpot is still there, and it can be increased at any time, hehe."

"Brother Zhen, what should we do with this money?" Xiao Ran asked.

"Put it here first and clean it up later." Lei Zhen lit a cigarette and said with a smile, "You guys should go and rest. Eat something and get enough energy to continue tomorrow."

"Um!"

Watching Xiao Ran and the others leave, Lei Zhen waited calmly. He knew that someone would definitely come tonight, and there would be more than one group.

"Bang!"

The lounge door was violently pushed open and a group of people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau walked in.

"Are you the person in charge?" the leader said arrogantly, "The lottery you held today doesn't comply with the regulations and is illegal..."

"Take as much as you can."

Lei Zhen interrupted the other person and pointed at the sack with the hand holding the cigarette.

"What?"

"Make friends and take whatever you want."

The businessmen were stunned. When they saw that it was all money, their eyes were filled with greed and they immediately took as much as they could.

After taking it, he turned around and left without saying anything.

The tax officials came, the market regulators came, the bank officials came...

They all came in a threatening manner and left politely.

No one would refuse the three words "take whatever you want". Even if the lottery organized by Lei Zhen was really illegal, it would be legal and reasonable after taking whatever you want.

In the blink of an eye, only about one million yuan was left of the 18 million yuan, which was equivalent to Lei Zhen giving the money away with a wave of his hand.

"Where's the money?"

When Xiao Ran walked in, she felt dizzy.

"There's still about a million left," Lei Zhen said. "Give this money to the police officers on duty. They work so hard."

Xiao Ran was so heartbroken that she cried, but she could only accept the fact, take out the remaining one million yuan, and implement it as instructed.

The lounge fell silent.

Lei Zhen took out a handheld DV camera from the corner, clicked on the playback, and enjoyed the greedy faces of those people with relish...
