"How about we team up?"
Huo Jiujian indeed made his request.
When faced with money, as long as it's not a matter of right and wrong, most basic moral principles can be abandoned. Besides, Li Lechen felt that buying it online shouldn't pose a significant problem.
So he replied, "Okay, then give me the method, and I'll stock up when I have the money."
But Huo Jiujian was clearly not someone who would easily trust people, which was completely different from Lin Sen. Lin Sen had been pampered since childhood, always having a smooth life, getting whatever he wanted, and wasn't afraid of being bullied because he had plenty of ways to get his revenge.
Seeing Huo Jiujian hesitate, Li Lechen quickly added, "That garlic head was worth a billion. You said you owed me a favor. What, you don't even have that much trust now?"
Since that's what he said, Huo Jiujian naturally couldn't make any other demands. Instead, he said, "How about this, I'll use my method to get you some money first. Once our cooperation is going smoothly, I'll give you the whole method."
This is reasonable.
Li Lechen's camera pans to the prize draw booth.
"They're having a lucky draw right here. The grand prize of 5,000 yuan hasn't been drawn yet, and there are three first prizes of 3,000 yuan each. They're in these cards," Li Lechen explained.
"What is the cost price of one of those pills?" Huo Jiujian asked.
One costs over a hundred.
However, Li Lechen thought for a moment and replied, "In our currency, it's 10,000 yuan per coin."
"It's not very expensive. It seems you should try to win the grand prize and the three first prizes."
"Winning one grand prize and two first prizes is enough."
Li Lechen didn't know if Huo Jiujian's math was taught by his Chinese teacher, or if he was a bit of an idiot in some very basic things because he had removed the smart chip without permission.
After that, Huo Jiujian stopped talking. He was using his big data system to collect various information from the other side of the camera. This work was actually similar to the information he usually collected from various live broadcast rooms, except that there was an additional analysis process.
Only Huo Jiujian could do this, since he's a professional at posting ads and manipulating information.
Soon, the results of the information summary and analysis came out.
"The grand prize has a 100% chance of being in the second stack, a 94% chance of being in the first card from the top, a 5% chance of being in the fourth card, and a 1% chance of being in the ninth card," Huo Jiujian said.
That's incredible! So precise!
"You should tell us about the first prize first, I'm afraid that drawing the grand prize at once will scare them."
"The first stack has a 100% chance of containing a first prize, the last one has a 99.2% probability of containing a first prize, and so on..."
"That's enough, that's enough!"
For Li Lechen, this was already a 99.2% probability, and it only cost ten yuan, so he had to buy one and give it a try.
So he decisively stepped forward, took out ten yuan, and handed it over, saying, "I want to draw a ticket."
The salesman smiled and took the ten yuan, but didn't forget to remind him: "If it's just one ticket, the chances of winning the grand prize are relatively small. Like that lady just now, she won a first prize with a hundred yuan."
Lotteries are like this: one out of a hundred people put in money wins. There are only a few big prizes, and the total prize money is only so much. The more people participate, the greater the profit for the organizer.
Of course, if the grand prize is revealed too early, it will greatly affect the sales of subsequent tickets. Therefore, many event organizers will deliberately not reveal the grand prize at the beginning.
Compared to this, the organizers of this event are quite conscientious.
However, Li Lechen couldn't care less about that at this point. If he didn't try his luck, how could he win five million in the future?
So he shook his head and said, "I'll draw one first and see. If I win, then I'll buy another one."
"You're guaranteed to win!" the salesperson said with a smile.
After paying the money, Li Lechen started the lottery draw.
Heading straight to where Huo Jiujian had mentioned the first prize was, to the first stack, to the last one—
The saleswoman's expression subtly changed. In fact, her expression had already changed when the middle-aged woman took a drag.
It looks like we're going to have two first prizes in a row.
This student has really good luck.
It seems that the first or last card isn't necessarily safe. Many people, without much thought, might just bet on the easiest card to win. This proves the saying: the most dangerous place is the safest place.
Looks like I'll have to readjust things later, especially regarding the grand prize, which is practically right under my nose...
Sure enough, when Li Lechen scratched off the lottery ticket, the words "First Prize" were clearly visible.
Actually, the salesperson already knew. Oh well, there are always some people who will get lucky, even if they only spend ten yuan.
So he picked up a megaphone and announced, "Congratulations to this student! You've won a first prize of 3,000 yuan with just one yuan!"
Afterwards, the salesperson naturally didn't forget to continue promoting: "Ten yuan for one scratch, top prize is five thousand yuan! 100% chance of winning!"
Even more people gathered to watch.
Of course, even more people are spending money to enter the lottery.
However, there's always a first-come, first-served order, because Li Lechen still needs to draw.
"The bonus will be given immediately, right?" Li Lechen asked the salesperson before taking out his money again.
"Of course!"
As he spoke, the money counting machine had already counted out three thousand yuan.
Of course, this money is for that middle-aged woman from earlier; she also won three thousand yuan. Most importantly, prizes under ten thousand yuan are tax-free, so winning three thousand yuan means getting three thousand back – it couldn't be better!
The middle-aged woman excitedly accepted the three thousand yuan, feeling that her more than an hour of calculation had not been in vain.
Then, Li Lechen took out a 100-yuan bill: "I'll draw ten more."
This is something salespeople are happy to see; it's usually like this: if you win, you draw again; if you lose, you draw again. Casinos basically use the same tactic—they always give you a little something to whet your appetite, otherwise, who would fall for it?
Of course, this student is already incredibly lucky. Unless he is extremely greedy and wins three thousand dollars and then throws it all back in, he has already made a profit today.
After receiving the hundred-yuan note, the salesperson ran it through the money counter to confirm it was genuine.
"I just drew the first stack, now let's draw the second stack," Li Lechen muttered to himself. "I started from the bottom last time, this time let's start from the top."
"!!!!"
Hearing this rambling, the salesperson was already sweating profusely.
But she couldn't say anything suggestive at this time, or things might get worse.
So, all we could do was watch as the student counted out ten tickets from the top of the second stack.
"There are so many, and we have to scratch them off one by one," Li Lechen complained, feigning innocence.
The saleswoman's hands were already trembling slightly. She felt she shouldn't have known where the big prizes were located beforehand; otherwise, she wouldn't have felt this heartache so early on.
But it was too late.
