121 Counting on your head

Now the lottery shop is crowded with people. The three carriages on the street have now become the center of onlookers. The flow of people has hindered half of the street. The sheriff wants to maintain order, but when he heard that something happened in the crowd, they also went in with a baton to watch.

At the door of the lottery shop are workers guards with live ammunition. They surrounded reporters from all over the country, and some even moved cameras as big as mountain cannons and pointed them at the door.

The four heroes of the Presbyterian Church have come out. They stand in a row at the door, and each person raises the large registered lottery in his hand towards the reporters and the crowds.

"I! Qi Yunlu bought 2,000 lottery tickets for Qi Yunlu!"

"I! Wang Yu's family bought 2,000 lottery tickets from Wang Yu's family!"

"I! Li Guangxi bought 2,500 lottery tickets in Li Guangxi!"

"I! Zhang Qijie bought 3,000 lottery tickets for Zhang Qijie!"

They shouted, causing a stir in the crowd. This group of people was too rich or too crazy!

Journalists flocked to ask this and that.

"Wait, let's take a photo first!" Li Guangxi friendlyly persuaded the reporter to leave, and asked the reporter of the "Imperial Daily" with a mobile camera to take a photo first. This time, the Presbyterian Church must have taken the headlines of the "Imperial Daily"!

"In order to benefit my hometown, I have the confidence to be elected as a member of parliament, so I bought my own large lottery tickets to prove my confidence. This is also a loyalty to the emperor and love God, and supporting the imperial lottery career..." Zhang Qijie blushed at the reporters and said such big words, but the reporters did not realize it, and they all recorded it in the notebook.

Fan Linhui squeezed into the reporter group and grabbed Wang Yu's family, who was surrounded by fewer people because of his rigid speaking, and shouted: "Old Wang, are you crazy? I just bought 8 lottery tickets, and I felt it was a waste to spend 8 yuan! How do you buy 2,000 or 3,000 yuan?"

Wang Yu's family spread their hands, looked at the three brothers who were happily talking to the reporter, and whispered: "We have all calculated that if we can win, we will make a profit and no loss. After all, we are not only the lottery bet horses, but also candidates! Otherwise, how can we compete with the circus?"

Fan Linhui was dumbfounded by his words.

At this time, Fan Xijue, the contractor of the lottery store, walked out. It was the first time that he encountered such a terrible thing. The first time that he had so many people stared at him. The first time that he met a full reporter. Fan Xijue, who was holding a paste cup in one hand and holding a large note in the other hand, immediately walked away under the prick of the dazzling sunlight.

"You are the owner of a lottery shop? How do you think they buy so many lottery tickets?"

“How do you feel when you see so much money buying lottery tickets?”

"We are Xinsongbao. Can we exclusively interview your mental journey?"

The reporters immediately surrounded him, but Fan Xijue closed his mouth tightly and said nothing. It was not that he didn't want to say it, but that he could no longer say anything. He only put all his energy into stopping himself from fainting.

Under everyone's gaze, the silent Fan Xijue painted paste on the lottery rules posted on the wall, and posted a large piece of paper on it like a wanted notice, which was the large amount of lottery purchased by the four people and the candidates they chose.

This is what he was required to do during the release of "New Booth Ticket", but just like a large registered lottery, he really never dreamed that he really wanted to execute this order.

This order turned out to be: "Purchase lottery tickets above 1,000 yuan will be announced immediately!"

=======================

At the same time, Jin Zhongji, who was in charge of the yamen and replaced Liu Guojian as the temporary mayor, listened to the report and stood up from the chair excitedly, clenched his fists and shouted: "It's true as Your Majesty foresaw!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and said to his secretary: "Send a congratulatory message to the court immediately!"

The radio waves were transmitted from Longchuan Yamen to the General Administration of Telegraph City along the telegraph lines, and from the General Administration of Telegraph City along the telegraph lines to an inconspicuous small building under the Haihuanglan Palace.

The reporter from the small building ran into the Blue Palace with a telegram.

Half an hour later, His Majesty's former secretary sat in a black carriage, hurriedly set out from the Blue Palace, bypassed the Empire Square, and entered the building adjacent to the Blue Palace, where there was the Empire's Press Office. Then the clerks took a carriage, rickshaw or ran and scattered in all directions.

At the same time, the reporter rushed back to the small building with the telegram clamped the telegram and immediately added a telegram machine from Haijing, the heart of the empire, entering the various yamen of the empire's limbs in the form of electricity.

The adults' reporters were busy listening to the Imperial emergency telegram and decrypting it.

While they were deciphering the secret, the editors of major media in Beijing, together with the boss of the lottery company's opium carriage, gathered towards the building where the News Agency was located like water drops on a spider web.

At this moment, the adults were already reading urgent telegrams from the capital. With their personal character and piousness to the doctrine, they were either confused or furious or confused, but they ordered the copying of the telegrams in Xuanhuafang in front of the yamen to make public announcements.

The people of the Song Dynasty looked at the notice just posted by the officials in confusion, telling them that in Longchuan, a small town in a distant place, a famous small town for destroying the yamen in the Public Security Bureau, something strange happened: a few fools forced a large amount to buy the newly issued "New Booth Ticket" lottery, and the amount they purchased was as follows...

The people talked about the strange small town that a few fools had appeared, and they actually bought gambling lottery tickets in units of thousands of yuan.

But lottery players come back to their senses first: Slow down! Slow down! Are they really stupid?

===========================

Longchuan is 4:00 pm.

Fang Bingsheng received a report: Several guys from the Presbyterian Church suddenly made efforts to buy large-scale lottery tickets.

At first he didn't understand because he was just like Zhang Qijie, so smart that he never got involved in gambling.

"What does this mean? Are they crazy?" Monk Fang Bingsheng, who was enjoying the cool under the parasol outside the circus tent, was confused.

The pheasant next to him cried: "Do they buy lottery tickets? Oh, I should buy more, buy our Democratic Party. Now the lottery pool has more than 10,000 yuan for their foodies, and it has become 210,000 yuan, haha."

"What do you mean?" Fang Bingsheng asked in surprise.

Shan Ji smiled and said, "I heard from the guy that the newly issued "New Booth Ticket" is to bet who can win the election. I originally wanted to be cooler this afternoon and buy more lottery tickets for our Democratic candidates, the combined lottery, and the lottery pool is a bonus of 200,000!"

"Who said it? Where did you see it?" Fang Bingsheng asked. He felt that the four bastards of the Presbyterian Church would not spend money indiscriminately.

Shan Ji quickly found a literate subordinate, who touched his head and said, "Isn't it published in the Imperial Daily?"

Fang Bingsheng hurriedly found a copy of the "Imperial News" he had read, but he himself ignored the news just like Zhang Qijie.

He carefully studied the lottery rules, and the more he read, the colder his hands and feet became, and his whole body was trembling: What kind of lottery is this? This is simply an election money-selling tool!

The rule is very simple: it is the Matthew effect mentioned in Matthew, the winner takes all!

It is the first "Popular Opinion Award". Whoever buys more money by himself will definitely win!

Whoever invests more money will be able to call on more people to follow him. The more lottery sells, the more money it will be, and you will definitely win! As long as you win, you will make a profit without losing money! Not only that, the winner of the first round may oppress the lottery holders to vote for themselves and get double bonuses in the votes.

This kind of thing was actually used by the Presbyterian Church first?

"How much did the Presbyterian Church invest?" Fang Bingsheng, who put down the newspaper, asked the subordinates of the news in fear.

"I heard that it is nearly 10,000..." my subordinate reported.

Only felt a dizzy feeling in his head, Fang Bingsheng fell back, leaned against the back of the recliner, stood up again, waved the newspaper and shouted in disbelief: "Is one candidate bought nearly 10,000?"

"No! The most is Zhang Qijie. He bought three thousand, and the others are two thousand." said the subordinate.

Fang Bingsheng breathed a sigh of relief, but then he fainted and came up again: his goal was to be elected by all four people, and his opponent Zhang Qijie bought 3,000 yuan, and each of his subordinates had to buy 3,500 yuan. Four people had 14,000 silver dollars!

14,000 silver dollars! How is that possible!

Fang Bingsheng, who was cold in his hands and feet, was stunned for a while and said, "Don't let those Democrats perform, call me over quickly, something big happened!"

Four Democratic candidates ran over obediently, and Fang Bingsheng said the matter: None of the four understood it.

"If they are willing to burn money, just burn it. We will definitely win with the circus." Li Meng said.

"That's right, they're wasting money in vain!" Zhuang Fei agreed.

"Hey, are there new lottery? I perform on stage every day and don't care. I'll buy some quickly." Zhong Erzai said.

"We will definitely win the second round of "Bole Award"! We will definitely make money when we buy our own. The elders will give us 10,000 yuan, and we are embarrassed to not want it." Lin Liuming shouted with a smile.

"You bunch of fools!" Fang Bingsheng shouted, waving the newspaper in his hand and said, "Do you think the other party will throw money in vain? The lottery rules are set to win whoever has more money! There are 200,000 silver dollars as a pot! Those gamblers will buy it with them! Once they follow the first wave of "Popular Opinion Award", the "Bole Award" will suppress them to vote for the first wave of winners!"

All four of them were speechless, and they could only pass on a copy of the "Imperial News" in their hands. Although they didn't understand what was going on, after all, Mr. Fang spoke, so he would definitely not have calculated it wrong.

After a while, Li Meng spread his hands and said, "But... we have collected hundreds of good citizen certificates and voter certificates, and most of them have mortgaged money to us. If they buy lottery tickets from the Presbyterian Church, they can't vote, and the money will be wasted. They must vote for us, so there is no need to worry."

"You are stupid!" Fang Bingsheng roared: "You said you lost the good citizen certificate. Isn't it okay to go and get a replacement? We can mortgage them 4 yuan and 500 yuan to stop them from following the trend to buy Presbyterian lottery tickets and get money that is profitable and not lost?"

The four of them were silent for a long time, and Zhong Erzai asked in fear: "What do you want us to do?"

Fang Bingsheng was silent for a long time before he raised his head and said, "How about you each buy 3,500 yuan?"

One sentence made the four big men dumbfounded, and then the four of them were all furious and screamed:

"3500 silver dollars! Mr. Fang, are you crazy?"

"We have money, but we don't have to spend a few thousand to buy lottery tickets. What should we do if we lose?"

"Yes, if you lose, you will give it to the other party!"

"Mr. Fang, you are Zhuge's rebirth, think of a way. 3,500 silver dollars? That's crazy!"

"We are running for Mr. Zhong Jialiang. When we ran for the election, we never said we wanted to take our own money!"

"Yes, the four of us will have to get 14,000 silver dollars. How is this possible?"

………

Feeling that this move was too difficult, Fang Bingsheng waved helplessly and asked, "Forget it first, I must know Mr. Zhong Jialiang before making a decision. But who would like to use more than two thousand to get an anchor so that we will be wiped out?"

The four of them looked at each other, and Lin Liuming said, "If Mr. Fang is in a dilemma, I am willing to buy my own lottery with 2,000 yuan."

"Okay! Thank you Lao Lin!" Fang Bingsheng stood up in surprise and held Lin Liuming's hand. After all, there was someone who was quite sensible.

But Lin Liu's words made Fang Bingsheng furious.

Lin Liuming said: "I have to be reimbursed."
