So that weekend, the family of four drove to the newly opened shopping mall on the outskirts of the city.
I thought the location was a bit remote, so there wouldn't be many people.
Unexpectedly, the mall was packed with people that day. From what I heard from the people next to me, it seemed that most of them came here after seeing the flyers.
At that time, Ye Xiuchun also sighed that there are really many people who like to take advantage of small opportunities these days.
After entering the mall, they were quickly attracted by the central stage.
The mall's opening ceremony was being held on the stage, and the host was holding a microphone to tell everyone how much discount each store in the mall would offer that day, how much spending would lead to a lucky draw, what the different rewards were, and so on.
But in fact, not all of these people who come here will buy anything. Some of them even come here just to watch the fun.
As for the guests who come to increase popularity, the manager also said that they will not let their trip be in vain.
At the end of the opening ceremony, the mall will distribute "gold coins" uniformly. Everyone can get "gold coins" at that time, and when the "gold coins" accumulate to a certain amount, they can go directly to the mall to exchange for small gifts, without any charge.
When we heard it was free, we were naturally excited.
Then everyone waited patiently for the host to finish the opening ceremony procession, and then prepared to grab the "gold coins".
At first, they didn't know what the form of grabbing "gold coins" was, and they wondered if they needed to play games to get them.
Unexpectedly, the supporter said that "gold coins" would fall from the sky from time to time, and everyone didn't need to do anything at all, they just needed to pick up as many as possible.
As the organizer explained the rules clearly, gold coins soon began to fall from the top of the mall.
The gold coins were actually made of paper, and they fell lightly. In an instant, the entire shopping mall looked like a golden ocean, and the floating things in the air were all "gold coins."
Knowing that these "gold coins" can be exchanged for prizes for free, everyone is very active.
Some people jumped up to grab the "gold coins" in the air before they fell, some people reached out to catch them, and some people simply took off their coats and put them on their heads so that they could catch more "gold coins".
Maybe it was because of the gimmick of "exchange for free gifts", or maybe it was because everyone was scrambling for them. This excitement infected the people around them, so in a few days, everyone in the entire mall was scrambling for the "gold coins".
Ye Xiuchun and his family are naturally no exception.
However, their standing position was not very good at the time, and there were too many people, so they did not grab many "gold coins" in the end.
The family of four only managed to get a total of more than 20 "gold coins", which was more than 70 short of the minimum exchange amount stipulated by the holder.
But the organizers also said that this activity will be effective in the long run.
When the mall opens on the first day, a wave of "gold coins" will be distributed to everyone for free. If you don't grab enough on the first day, you can get the mall's free "gold coins" every time you shop in the mall in the future.
Get one "gold coin" for every order.
Of course, if you spend more, you will get more "gold coins".
However, if you just come here to exchange "gold coins", it's fine to buy a toothbrush and toothpaste, and all of these will be counted as one order, and you can even charge the toothpaste and toothbrush separately.
When the host explained these rules, no one actually found it strange.
After all, this is not the only shopping mall that uses this method to maintain customer flow. Other shopping malls have their own methods to a greater or lesser extent.
But most of them are based on the points system, but this mall has changed to the "gold coin" system.
Moreover, when this shopping mall opened, it gave everyone a lot of free "gold coins", which invisibly attracted a lot of goodwill.
After the "gold coin" throwing session was over, Ye Xiuchun saw that everyone was holding "gold coins" and happily went shopping in the mall.
They also walked around, bought some things, and finally exchanged the receipts for some gold coins before going home.
They had collected more than 60 "gold coins" from picking up trash and buying things as gifts, and they were only about 30 coins away from exchanging 1,000 "gold coins" for gifts.
Therefore, Ye Xiuchun and the others brought all the "gold coins" back, planning to buy enough things next time they went to the mall, and then take out the remaining thirty or so "gold coins" to exchange for prizes.
After bringing those dozens of "gold coins" home, they placed them on the cabinet in the utility room for easy access.
However, before they could go shopping in that mall again, their family members met with accidents one after another, and they had no time to exchange these "gold coins" in the mall.
…
After listening to Ye Xiuchun's story, her sister Ye Xiuxia suddenly looked annoyed.
"There's this event. I would have participated if I had known about it. Why didn't they send the flyers to my house?"
Not only would the mall have many discounts during the grand opening, but the "gold coin" grabbing segment also sounded quite interesting. Ye Xiuxia was a person who loved to join in the fun, so she felt a little regretful that she didn't join in.
When Lin Xi heard what Ye Xiuxia said and looked at the so-called "gold coins" in his hand, he couldn't help but shook his head and said.
"If you really die, I'm afraid you'll be among the people who get into trouble one day."
When these words were spoken, Ye Xiuchun and her sister were both stunned.
Ye Xiuchun's reaction was even more intense, staring at Lin Xi with wide eyes in surprise.
"Master, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that our family's troubles this time are because of the loss of that shopping mall?"
That shouldn't be the case.
That mall is a regular mall, and the goods sold there are all genuine products.
Besides, they hadn't encountered anything strange when they were in the mall.
How did he get into trouble?
Upon hearing this, Lin Xi picked up the small piece of "gold coin" paper and asked the two of them.
"Don't you think this paper looks familiar?"
look familiar?
When the two heard this, they immediately widened their eyes and carefully examined the "gold coin".
Perhaps because of the preconceived notion of "gold coins", Ye Xiuchun still couldn't see what was so special about these "gold coins".
It was her younger sister Ye Xiuxia who picked up a gold coin, turned it over and over, and suddenly exclaimed.
"This, this angle makes it look like a shrunken piece of paper money!"
Although the "gold coin" in front of you is rectangular, the ingot pattern on it is horizontal, so it looks longer from top to bottom and wider from the left, which is the correct way.
But when Ye Xiuxia turned it at an angle, it became wider at the top and bottom and longer on the left.
In this way, if you don't look at the ingot pattern in the middle of the paper, the whole piece of paper is a proportionally reduced paper money!
When Ye Xiuchun heard the word "paper money", her heart skipped a beat.
She quickly picked up a "gold coin" and looked at it upside down.
The more I looked at it, the more frightened I became.
No matter the material or color of the paper, it is exactly the same as the yellow paper money they use when visiting graves for sacrifices!
