At the Sili government office, all the spies who had previously disguised themselves as ticket scalpers had gathered, and the young man in white robes was also among them.
Everyone was excitedly talking about what they had gained from the trip.
"Commander Yang has arrived!!"
With a loud shout, Yang Qiu, with a cold expression, walked out from the back hall.
The group of secret agents quickly stopped talking and bowed to Yang Qiu.
"We greet the Captain!"
"No need for formalities!!"
"Thank you, Captain!"
After taking his seat, Yang Qiu turned to Li Li, who was at the head of the group, and asked, "How much did we make this time?"
Li Li hurriedly and respectfully replied, "Reporting to the captain, according to the statistics, our men resold a total of 1,200 tickets for the first and second rows, earning a total of 2.2 million coins!"
"Hmm! Well done!"
Yang Qiu nodded in satisfaction upon seeing the profits his men had brought back.
Immediately, Yang Qiu took out two stacks of tickets, totaling one thousand for the first row, from his sleeve and handed them to Li Li.
"Let's continue tomorrow and try to raise the ticket price a bit more. The Detective Division has been a bit short on funds lately, so this will be a good opportunity to replenish them!"
"Yes, Captain!!"
Li Li also accepted the two stacks of tickets with a happy expression.
Then Li Li looked at Yang Qiu and asked in a deep voice, "Captain, what would be a suitable price for the tickets?"
Yang Qiu thought for a moment, then said, "It would be best if it could be ten thousand coins per sheet!!"
"Hiss...!"
Upon hearing Yang Qiu's words, everyone present couldn't help but gasp. This was too shady!
Li Li said with some concern, "But... Captain, if it's sold at such a high price, will anyone still buy it?"
Yang Qiu waved his hand dismissively, "It's alright, those rich people aren't short of money! If it really goes up to ten thousand coins a note, they won't think it's expensive; on the contrary, they'll think it's worth every penny!"
"this......!"
Seeing their captain in this state, everyone couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.
Those rich people aren't stupid; why would they spend such high prices to buy tickets that only allow them to watch for one day?
"Heh~, what? Do you think I, the captain, am treating those rich people like fools?"
Seeing the puzzled looks on his subordinates' faces, Yang Qiu couldn't help but chuckle.
"Uh~!"
Upon hearing Yang Qiu's words, everyone was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered their heads, and no one dared to respond to Yang Qiu's words.
Seeing this, Yang Qiu glanced around at everyone, then said in a deep voice:
“You’re right. Those rich people aren’t stupid. They won’t waste money buying things that don’t reflect their true value!”
However... you've overlooked an important point!
"Oh? Please enlighten me, Captain!"
Upon hearing Yang Qiu's words, everyone's expressions changed, and they all looked at Yang Qiu with curiosity.
Yang Qiu's lips twitched, then he looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "I ask you, what do those aristocratic families, powerful clans, and wealthy merchants value most?"
Li Li thought for a moment, then said, "What they value most is probably face, status, and position!"
Yang Qiu nodded. "That's right. Besides power, the thing that best demonstrates status and position is wealth. And how can one use wealth to show their uniqueness?"
Upon hearing Yang Qiu's words, Li Li's eyes lit up, and he immediately said:
"Does the captain mean... that they should buy things that ordinary people can't afford?"
Yang Qiu glanced at Li Li with admiration in his eyes, and then said:
"That's right. Tickets are tiered, and people are naturally tiered too. A thousand coins and fifty coins make no difference in the eyes of the rich."
Therefore, we need to make the price of front-row tickets so high that they are out of reach for those in the back. Only in this way can we greatly enhance their sense of superiority.
Spending money to buy a better life—while not everyone will do it, most people are willing to do so!
"The captain is right. Those wealthy young men would spend a fortune to compete for a prostitute in a brothel, let alone sit in the front row under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of people."
"The captain's method is truly insightful; he has those people firmly in his grasp. I am truly impressed!"
Everyone chimed in, looking at Yang Qiu with admiration.
Despite the compliments from the crowd, Yang Qiu remained expressionless, because he had only said what Liu Hong had instructed him to say.
Everyone says that it's hard to make money from the rich, but that's just because they haven't figured out what's in their minds!
Yang Qiu then looked at Li Li and the others, and said in a deep voice:
"Alright, no need for flattery, get down there and get on with your business!"
Also...make sure to keep a close eye on the prices of the back row tickets; there absolutely cannot be any fluctuations!
"promise!!"
Immediately, everyone hurriedly left the Sili government office and began their own actions.
After noon, the second day of the sports meet officially began.
The stadium was packed to capacity, with 80,000 spectators cheering excitedly, their enthusiasm even surpassing that of yesterday.
As the exciting final match of Cuju (ancient Chinese football) came to an end, everyone got up and left the field.
Chen Xing, the young man in the blue robe, and his friends walked out of the sports field with satisfied expressions.
"Tsk tsk tsk, those few thousand dollars were definitely well spent. Such an exhilarating match, so satisfying!"
As they walked, Chen Xing kept talking.
"Brother Chen is right. So, shall we still go queue up to buy tickets tonight?"
