Datang: Angry at Li Er, he still begged me to come out of the mountain

Chapter 16 The Flaws of the Lottery

"Impossible, isn't it? It's been five or six days, and someone bought it just to save face?"

"Yeah, these geniuses sold a thousand coins."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, never."

Jiang Yunqing knew what a lucrative business the lottery was, and it was a money printing machine without capital.

Those nobles and descendants of aristocratic families, some of them have serious business, they are all thinking about how to play, looking around for things that imitate thin threads.

The lottery is such a good thing after more than 1000 years that these people don't even look at it?
There is definitely a problem, there is definitely a problem!
Jiang Yunqing was sure that something must have gone wrong.

Later, after Changsun Sanniang explained the whole process to Jiang Yunqing carefully, Jiang Yunqing finally understood what the problem was.

The number of bonuses in the prize pool was set at the beginning of the prize pool of the lottery tickets that everyone bought, but not many people bought it at the beginning, so the amount of the prize pool was not much, no one would care, so naturally no one would to sell.

"Auntie, then we have to put some money in first. The prize pool must have enough bonuses at the beginning, it's like going fishing. If you don't put down the bait, which fish will be hooked?"

"Also, when newcomers come, they may not make money by buying lottery tickets, but we must also set an example of making money by buying lottery tickets."

"Yunqing, you think that if someone wins a lottery, others will see that someone has won a lottery and let others know the prize money in the prize pool, which will attract more people to continue buying, right?"

Some people are born to do business, and it hurts at a little bit. The eldest grandson Sanniang really deserves the title of Chang'an's number one businesswoman, and she really has a business mind.

Empress Changsun also suddenly understood, "The best role model is the most famous nobleman in Chang'an City. The initial bonus should be set at [-] guan, right?"

"Yes, but my idea is that the initial bonus in the prize pool should be set to one thousand coins. If you win, you will get half of it, which is five hundred coins. If it exceeds five hundred coins, the other party will buy all of them. If not, we will lose a lot of money."

"These are not problems. As long as we are the banker and we are the banker, we have the final say on the rules. Whatever we want to do is how we do it."

The eldest grandson Sanniang immediately understood what was most important, "The next step is to find the most famous nobleman in Chang'an and give them this award. Is that what I said?"

"Yeah, with this person winning the big prize, we still don't want to publicize it everywhere, and we still don't charge for the promotion. Then we will release a big prize every few issues, and the number will gradually decrease. If someone gets the sweetness, they will There are a steady stream of people coming to buy.”

"Yunqing, then I'll tell you what I think, and you can help Auntie take a look."

The eldest grandson Sanniang immediately understood and knew what to do, so she told Jiang Yunqing the thoughts in her heart, "We will get the grand prize at the beginning every half a month. It doesn't matter if we start paying some money ourselves. Then once a month, every two months, every three months, but at this time, we still have to give out some small prizes."

"Yeah, that's what I thought too. Auntie is very smart." Suddenly, Jiang Yunqing flattered the eldest grandson Sanniang.

Every industry has its own tips for making money.

If every industry has a continuous high enthusiasm, and can maintain this high fiery enthusiasm for a long time, there is only money, bonus money and winning role models.

Cutting leeks can’t be uprooted all at once. If you want to make them have a hope, you will definitely lose nine out of ten bets if you go to a casino. is practical.

Twenty Wen coins can be exchanged for five hundred guan, which is simply a huge profit.

Grain is the most expensive for a stone, and the best is usually only about [-] renminbi.

Ordinary households only eat one stone of rice a year.

When the price of goods in the Tang Dynasty was the most expensive, a penny of copper coins was like fifty cents in later generations, and it was always 500 yuan, one hundred coins was five thousand, and five hundred coins was twenty-five thousand.

Moreover, it is the early Tang Dynasty when the price of goods in the Tang Dynasty was the lowest. The current five hundred guan is equivalent to the millions in later generations.

But, most of the time, these big prizes have to be given to the common people, so as to show the authenticity of the Datang lottery.

Not to mention other people's income, that is, the one-year salary of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, such as Fang Xuanling's high-ranking official and prime minister, plus various miscellaneous benefits, it is only more than 100 per year.

This is still very attractive to them.

Although they can't let them eat it, they should occasionally see someone eating it. If someone eats it, they will feel that one day they may win a big prize like that.

But if the lottery is really spread in the Tang Dynasty, the aristocratic effect and the money of the aristocrats can only be an appetizer.

If you really want to fertilize this leek plate field, you have to distribute more of those bonuses to the common people. Only in this way can Datang’s lottery be more real. Many people win a big prize at the same time with an average score, and at the same time, those small prizes are kept in the fur.

There can be many kinds of people in the Tang Dynasty, but there can't always be people who get rich suddenly. Once this kind of thing is formed, everyone is a leek, it will only be counterproductive.

At that time, everyone will be busy buying lottery tickets and get rich overnight. Whoever wants to work hard or work honestly should buy lottery tickets with a fluke mentality.

According to Jiang Yunqing's calculation in his heart, this business invested 20 ren, and the maximum return was 500 guan. If they did not include the subsidies from them earlier, they should have a maximum monthly income of [-] guan.

So the most important thing is to set a good example of winning the lottery, this can determine the number of buyers, and the number of buyers can determine the income.

Datang is not popular with those who advertise, but they also have their own unique communication methods, which can quickly spread a certain event among the people. These are storytellers.

After confirming the operation process of the lottery bureau and certain rules, then advertising is to go to the storyteller.

There are at least hundreds of storytellers in the huge city of Chang'an, all of whom hang out in densely populated places such as teahouses, restaurants, small grocery stalls, and taverns. As long as some of them help to tell something, it won't take long for the entire Chang'an city to be overwhelmed. Everyone knows something.

As long as they come up with a role model who has won the grand prize, it will take less than a day for everyone in Chang'an to know about it.

The most indispensable thing in Chang'an is all kinds of nobles and relatives of the emperor.
