Chapter 738: Fighting
Qingzhou, City Lord's Mansion
When the Qingzhou District opened, Lu Songli came in person with her team, but the itinerary was kept secret.
The Qingzhou City Lord's Mansion is where Lu Songli is currently staying.
Qin Sheng, dressed in a black and gold suit, dismounted from his horse. He casually threw the whip in his hand to the personal soldier beside him and strode towards where Lu Songli was.
People along the way bowed and greeted him when they saw him.
"Sixth Master!"
"Sixth Master is back!"
"Sixth Master, good morning!"
Qin Sheng pushed the door open and saw Lu Songli working at her desk, "Li Li!"
Lu Songli looked him up and down, her eyes full of admiration. "This riding outfit suits you very well. The way you looked so heroic on the horse just now was so fascinating."
When Qin Sheng heard this, his eyes were filled with smiles, as if inlaid with fine gold.
At this moment, Hongluo also came in with a bag of money. "Governor, I sent someone to the redemption point to exchange the cash. It's all here."
Lu Songli nodded towards Hongluo and looked at Qin Sheng, "I bet you 10,000 yuan, this is 400,000 yuan."
Then she added, "I know you won't let me lose."
The corners of Qin Sheng's mouth curled up, and he couldn't suppress it no matter how hard he tried.
She only bet ten thousand yuan lightly to tease her husband and make him happy.
The 400,000 yuan bonus she exchanged was just money flowing from her left pocket into her right pocket.
In fact, neither of them cared about the money. What they cared about was the meaning of the matter itself.
At this time, Lu Songli's action of betting 10,000 yuan on number 6 caused a sensation in the prize redemption area.
First of all, it was the first time that the horse racing competition was held in Qingzhou District, and someone dared to bet so much on one number at once.
Secondly, she bet 10,000 yuan on number 6 and directly withdrew 400,000 yuan. The prize redemption area in Qingzhou paid the money without blinking an eye.
Now the whole Qingzhou District is in an uproar because of this matter, and the people are discussing it with great interest.
Pingzhou's navy was also making a move. Besides the example of a single bet of 10,000 winning 400,000, there were also some cases where a single bet of 1,000 won 40,000, and even more cases where a single bet of 100 won 4,000...
Gambling is prevalent in the Sanzhou Free Trade Zone because the people in charge of Dali and Xianbei intentionally do so.
Even though the common people gathered here didn't like gambling, they were familiar with it. This example of overnight wealth was like a drop of water splashing into a boiling pot of oil, stirring everyone's heart and making it itch.
…
Pingzhou Qingzhou District is in trial operation, while Dali Xuzhou District and Xianbei Yanzhou District are as expected deserted.
Wang Yun, Tuoba Jin and others were waiting for news.
As news from Qingzhou District continued to arrive, the more Wang Yun and others listened, the uglier their expressions became.
Is this the trick Pingzhou has been working on for two months?
But anyone with a discerning eye can see how successfully Pingzhou has built Qingzhou District.
Zhang Xian must have been skeptical when he heard this. "How could it not be successful if the entire state spent two or three months to build the Qingzhou Free Trade Zone?" How much material had been brought to Qingzhou by ship and land recently?
"Young Master, come and take a look at this thing!"
Wang Yun saw his subordinate coming in in a hurry, holding a strange thing in his hand.
"Young master, this is called a telescope." The subordinate taught him how to use it and he could use it.
As soon as Wang Yun used the telescope, he could see the entire scenery in the distance. His face changed immediately, and he held the telescope tightly in his hand and asked his subordinates, "Where did you get it from?"
The subordinate replied, "Didn't Pingzhou open a large entertainment venue in Qingzhou? They've built a racecourse inside. These binoculars are for VIPs to use to watch the horses in the races."
"A big customer there used the telescope and thought it was great, so he asked the racecourse manager if he could buy one."
"The manager at the time said he wouldn't sell it, but several major customers had the same purchase request, so he had no choice but to ask his superiors for instructions."
"Later, they said they could sell a few, but they were very expensive and hard to come by, so the price wasn't cheap."
"Those big customers aren't short of money, and they've all expressed their desire to buy. The manager had no choice but to give them a price of 20,000 each."
The subordinate reported the situation truthfully.
A telescope costs only 20,000 Pingzhou treasure notes, which is ridiculously expensive.
But those big customers had all bought it, and he knew that Dali would definitely need it, so he paid for one too.
Upon hearing this answer, Wang Yun's face changed. He thought to himself, are Zhang Xian and Wu Ren stupid? Using such a good thing for observing horses? If this telescope were used on the battlefield, wouldn't it be twice as effective with half the effort?
At this time, Tuoba Jin spoke up, pointing at the telescope in Wang Yun's hand and said, "Sir Wang, can you let me see this thing?"
Wang Yun tightened his grip on the telescope, and after thinking quickly, he handed the telescope to Tuoba Jin.
After seeing it, Tuoba Jin also recognized that it was a good thing, and finally returned it to Wang Yun reluctantly.
Wang Yun took it, handed it to his subordinate, and instructed, "Send it back to the court and have the Shaofu see if they can replicate it."
After discussing the telescope, Wang Yun and Tuoba Jin decided to proceed according to their previous plan.
…
On the fourth day of the trial operation in Qingzhou District, in the middle of the huge conference hall in the City Lord's Mansion, Gu Huaisheng and his men were checking the accounts.
The golden abacus was in his hand, and he plucked it to create a rhythm.
Lu Songli, Qin Sheng and others sat around, drinking tea and waiting for the results.
Half an hour later, Gu Huaisheng handed the account book to Lu Songli and said, "Governor, I've calculated it. This is the total revenue of Qingzhou District in the past two days. Please take a look."
Lu Songli took it, took a look at it, and then handed it to Qin Sheng.
After Qin Sheng finished reading it, he handed it to Zhang Xian. After Zhang Xian finished reading it, he handed it to Wu Ren...
Soon, the account books were rotated.
Everyone who looked at the numbers in the account books gasped. These people had only one thought in their minds, that is, this free trade zone really makes money.
It’s only been three days and I’ve made so much money. I can’t imagine how much more money I’ll make in the days to come.
They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, it has to be the governor.
The current situation is very clear. Once the Qingzhou District is opened, the Dali Xuzhou District and the Xianbei Yanzhou District will basically be destroyed.
Their Qingzhou District siphoned off almost all the people from the Free Trade Zone.
The situation is like this now. Next, it depends on how Dali and Xianbei will act.
In fact, Lu Songli, Zhang Xian and others all knew that Wang Yun, Tuoba Jin and others had made moves one after another.
After the Qingzhou venue opened, the response was very good.
Wang Yun and Tuoba Jin felt a sense of crisis in their hearts. In order to regain traffic,
Their place gave out some chips for free every day, and the brothel even held a lottery, with each draw costing two yuan, and the biggest prize was a night with the top prostitute.
Anyway, they use all kinds of tricks to attract customers to come back.
But even so, it still cannot save the decline.
Many of those gamblers were there to take advantage of the situation. They received free chips, left when they won, and left when they lost. They all flocked to Qingzhou District.
This has been happening every day these days.
This is the situation of gamblers in the free trade zone, as well as the situation of ordinary people. These people have begun to move to Qingzhou District one after another.
There are many job opportunities in Qingzhou District, and ordinary people can find work there.
This was an effort made by Dali Xuzhou District and Xianbei Yanzhou District to cope with the siphon effect caused by the opening of Qingzhou District, but it did not work.
Now Zhang Xian and others are waiting for the other side to make another move, some effective tactics.
Looking at the serious expressions on the faces of his subordinates, Lu Songli smiled, and the smile was somewhat meaningful.
