The Red Leaf Grain Store is quite popular in Danga King City. In addition to the high quality of the goods it sells, the lucky draw is also a big reason for this.
In particular, as long as you draw the lottery, you will win 100%, which is really conscience in the eyes of the orcs.
Even the lowest level commemorative award can make people happy for a while.
Even the green handbag has become a fashion trend.
There was no way. Although this handbag looked very tacky to Zhang Feng, the problem was that he had never seen it before. It was the first time he saw this kind of handbag. The bright color of green was difficult to adjust. Green cloth was considered to be relatively expensive. In the eyes of the orcs, this handbag alone was worth a lot of money.
Not to mention the meal coupons, although you need four meal coupons, but free things are just comfortable! In addition, the Hongye Chamber of Commerce restaurant, which has not yet opened, has also become popular.
Everyone was talking about the Red Leaf Restaurant, wondering what kind of place it was and how it differed from a pub.
The restaurant hasn't opened yet, no official news has been leaked, and it's basically all speculation, but this makes people more curious.
However, the most popular store right now is Hongye Grain Store.
Originally, this event was only for one day, but because there were too many people, one day might not be enough, so the Hongye Chamber of Commerce was merciful and extended the event for another three days! This attracted many people's applause, because the big prizes had not been taken away yet!
Seeing others occasionally draw a lottery to get an instant discount of 100, or draw a lottery to get the entire meal free, these orcs' eyes turned red with envy.
Although the commemorative prize is not bad, the third and second prizes are better!
As for the first prize, no one has drawn it after such a long time. Some people think that the first prize is theirs and are even raising money to buy food. Others think that this is a scam and there is no first prize at all!
Originally, those people thought that this lottery was a scam and it was impossible for anyone to be so kind!
But one moment someone won a 100 yuan discount, and the next moment someone else won a free meal. This situation severely slapped the faces of those who were skeptical.
The winners include strangers and acquaintances, which reduces the number of skeptical voices.
However, there are still some people who doubt it. In their opinion, free tickets for the whole venue are not worth much money. A steam car can be sold for tens of thousands of gold coins. It is impossible for someone to take out such a precious thing for a lottery! It has been three days, and the second and third prizes have been drawn, but the first prize has not appeared yet, which is indeed a bit suspicious.
Facing these doubts from the outside world, Shu Daqiang's expression remained unchanged. Except for the first person, the other winners were not dragging their feet at all. The Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce was not someone who could not afford to play tricks on them.
However, the first prize was not announced for a long time, which was indeed Shu Daqiang's fault, because there was no first prize in the lottery box.
"It's been three days, and the time is almost up. Let's put the first prize in now..."
Shu Daqiang thought silently. He asked someone to bring in the lottery box and said he wanted to count how many prizes were left. The beastmen did not doubt it.
Soon, Shu Daqiang stuffed the note with the first prize written on it.
There is definitely a first prize, but it is impossible for it to be drawn on the first day, otherwise the effect in the next two days will be poor. Although there are so many prizes, the probability of winning the first prize is very low, but there is still a chance.
After all, this lottery is a real lottery, not a scam like the modern ones.
Soon, the staff took the box out and posted a notice saying that there were not many prizes left in the box and this was the time when the probability of winning the first prize was the highest.
Although some people don’t believe this, the majority of people still do, especially those who have won the third or second prize before. They feel that they are just one step away and maybe they will win with luck this time!
So, on the evening of the third day, Hongye Grain Store was caught in a buying frenzy.
Sales in the period before the sun goes down are greater than the entire next day!
When the Hongye Grain Store was about to close, Shu Daqiang was ready to intervene again and give away the first prize. Finally, someone actually won the first prize!
But this person was somewhat beyond Shu Daqiang's expectations.
"Is it him?"
Conrad looked at the first prize in his hand with some disbelief.
“This is… first prize?”
"Sir, congratulations on winning the first prize in our store!"
The saleswoman looked at Conrad with a big smile on her face.
“Did I really win the lottery?”
Conrad opened his handbag and looked at the countless bills inside. For a moment, he almost cried.
He risked almost all his fortune for this lottery draw!
Originally, Conrad didn't believe in these lotteries or anything like that; he was a rational orc.
He felt that the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce was trying to trick people, but after seeing so many people winning the lottery and getting a 100 yuan discount or even a free meal, he couldn't help it.
"How about I play too?"
This was Conrad's original idea.
"Just give it a try. The chance of winning is 100% anyway. It's not bad to get a commemorative prize. Besides, you can also buy these delicious foods. It's worth it."
So Conrad withdrew 100 yuan from the bank and drew a commemorative prize.
At that time, he thought to himself: Sure enough, they are all lies.
But what he didn't expect was that the orc who drew the lottery before him won the third prize and got a 100 yuan discount, and the one after him won the second prize and got a free meal! This really stimulated Conrad.
Why! Why did both of them win, but I won the commemorative prize! At this moment, Conrad didn't even consider whether it was a lie or not. He was very dissatisfied. He even felt that the reason why the two of them won the prize was because they sucked away his luck! Then, Conrad fell into buying, buying, buying.
By the time he came to his senses, he had almost spent all the money. Looking at the pile of commemorative awards in his hands, Conrad felt like crying but had no tears.
We agreed to be rational and only play once!
I can't control my hands like this!
Conrad hated it so much that he wanted to chop off his hands.
The money in his hands was all the "activity funds" for this operation. Now that the money has been spent, not to mention anything else, it is even a problem how he will get back.
Should he sell the food he bought? No, no, he couldn't sell it. He wanted to take it back and let the king taste it.
Just when Conrad was struggling, the staff of Hongye Grain Store posted a notice saying that there was only one hour left for the lottery. There were not many prizes left in the box. The second and third prizes had been drawn, leaving only the commemorative prize and the first prize! Conrad felt his blood boiling when he heard the other party's "deceptive" words.
You cheated him once, but you still want to cheat him again? But he looked at the last 123 yuan and 50 cents in his hand and decided to try again! For the last time! At worst, he could sell some food. He didn't believe he couldn't go back!
Then, he won the first prize.
This made Conrad feel a little dreamy. Did he really win?
In a daze, he was taken by the saleswoman to a fenced-off area where a shiny black steam car was parked quietly.
The area was already crowded with people, and everyone was extremely envious of the lucky guy who won the first prize.
"Sir, this is the first prize you won, a Red Leaf car!"
Conrad looked at the black steam car. Compared with the trucks in Danga, this car was much smaller. After all, the trucks could seat a hundred people, while this car could only seat six. But it looked more exquisite, with its shiny black paint, smooth and transparent crystal windows, and neatly arranged rivets and pipes...
The more I look at Conrad, the better he looks. The more I look at him, the more I like him!
“Is this car really mine?”
Conrad was a little unsure.
"Of course, sir, but before that you need to go through a procedure to legally own this car. The procedure is free of charge."
The saleswoman explained with a smile.
"I'm so envious of a steam car!"
"How much money does this cost? It would be great if I won..."
"Oh, my luck is so bad, I only won the second prize, it's so sad..."
"I won ten commemorative prizes in a row!"
The orcs around him started talking, and looking at their envious eyes, Conrad subconsciously straightened his body.
Don't mention it, this feeling is really great! "So...how much is this car worth?"
Conrad suddenly spoke as if possessed by some strange impulse.
After he finished speaking, he blushed a little. It was so vulgar. How could he ask how much it was worth? As an envoy of the Kingdom of Hobro, he started talking about money. This was too embarrassing for the Kingdom of Hobro! "According to the current market price, this car is brand new, so the price is about 1.5 million Red Leaf Coins."
"One million and five hundred thousand Red Leaf Coins!"
Although Conrad had expected this, he was still shocked when he heard the number.
One million and a half Red Leaf Coins equals to 15,000 gold coins! His entire fortune totaled only over 3,000 gold coins, and more than 2,000 of these 3,000 gold coins were the funds given to him by His Majesty the Kingdom for this long journey.
More than three thousand for fifteen thousand?
What a great profit!
No, it’s not more than three thousand, because the food we bought is also valuable, and it may even be sold at a higher price in Hobro.
Conrad was originally worried about how to get back, but now he doesn't have to worry anymore, he can just drive back! By the way, he can also bring these food home!
Under the envious gazes of the crowd, Conrad followed the staff in and began to sign the contract.
"This Red Leaf Steam Car was presented to Mr. Conrad by the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce. It belongs to Mr. Conrad's personal property. You can give it away or resell it without any restrictions..."
"Thank you!"
After Conrad looked at the contract, he decisively signed his name.
"By the way, Mr. Conrad, you probably don't know how to drive yet. We offer free lessons if you need them."
The saleswoman spoke very considerately.
"Of course we need to. Can we start now?"
"OK."
The female salesperson called an orc over, who was the driver. They came to the steam car again, and the driver told him how to use the steam car. This small steam car was very easy to use and did not have any complicated functions. You only needed to add fuel, start the engine, shift gears, turn off the brakes, and you could go.
Sitting in the car and watching the driver's operation, Conrad wished he could try it himself.
He had forgotten all about the mission. He just wanted to drive! When the car drove out of the city and there were few people around, the driver let Conrad drive himself while he watched from the side.
Conrad learned quickly. After an hour's study, he was basically able to drive. Of course, he was still far from having perfect skills.
Conrad was still a little excited when he returned to the hotel.
"A car worth 15,000 gold coins! I actually have such a car. I definitely can't sell it. I want to drive it back and let them see what a steam car is! I'll go back tomorrow - wait, I seem to have forgotten something?"
Conrad was suddenly stunned.
"Task!"
Only then did he remember that he still had a mission to accomplish.
This steam car must be very satisfying to him, but it is of no use to the entire Hobro Kingdom! Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce!
I must meet the boss of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce!
Conrad slowly calmed down, and he decided to use his status as the first prize winner to request a meeting with the boss of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce tomorrow!
That night, Conrad felt a little excited, a little uneasy, and even a little in awe of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce.
How did they make such an amazing steam car?
Since there is such a magical car, there must be something else. This Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce is definitely not simple. Could it be the Chamber of Commerce of the Sirius Empire? But I have never heard of it? Could it be... from another continent? Conrad was a little sleepless.
That same night, Conrad became the talk of the streets among the orcs in the royal capital.
After all, the first prize is the envy of everyone.
Of course, there is also the Hongye Grain Store and even the Hongye Restaurant which will open tomorrow.
Some people were discussing the origins of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, while others were wondering if they could join the Chamber of Commerce. They heard that the benefits of working in the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce were amazing.
As for the Red Leaf currency, there was surprisingly little discussion, as if everyone had forgotten about it. But looking at the banknotes in their hands, it was clear that they had not forgotten it, but had slowly gotten used to it.
After all, the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce has now begun to infiltrate various fields. Only with Red Leaf Coins can one consume in the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce. Within these three days, some people have used Red Leaf Coins to buy things, and sellers also accept Red Leaf Coins. This is a good start.
the next day.
Conrad didn't even bother to practice his steam locomotive, and went straight to the Red Leaf Grain Store, saying that he wanted to meet the head of the Chamber of Commerce to discuss something.
Shu Daqiang was a little surprised when he got the news. He thought Conrad would just leave. After all, it was normal to want to take something good back and show it off.
This time, Shu Daqiang decided to meet Conrad.
