Chapter 9 The first bucket of gold (for collection)
At 8 pm on November 20th, under the witness of reporters from dozens of newspapers and the staff of the Berlin Notary Office, the Deutsche Welfare Lottery Company issued the first batch of Shuangseqiu lieutenant general numbers.
Six red **** are 02, 09, 14, 17, 18, 31, and the blue ball number is 08.
As the general manager of Deutsche Welfare Lottery, Carl von Jonareit announced in public that the staff of the lottery company will check all the lottery numbers immediately, and strive to complete the preliminary check before tomorrow afternoon. Once someone wins the first prize, they will notify the major newspapers as soon as possible.
The entire German lottery industry, and even the society, are also very concerned about the lottery of the double-color ball. Everyone wants to know if there will be any lucky ones who will win the first prize. The bonus of five million marks, even after paying taxes, is still a lot left. This is an absolute fortune overnight!
"Your Highness, we have succeeded. Preliminary statistics show that more than 10 million lottery tickets have been sold this time!" Carl looked excited.
Each lottery ticket is two marks, although it is already a very high price. However, there are still not a few people who can afford to buy lottery tickets. This makes their lottery, will have a huge market.
"Well, when the winning results are counted, we will know how much profit we can make." Qin Tian also looked forward to it.
In order to count the winning lottery tickets, the Deutsche Welfare Lottery Company specially recruited a professional statistical team of more than 200 people. Although, the salary expenses of these statisticians are not a small amount. But compared to the huge profits they made, it was nothing at all. In the era without computer networks, everything can only be done manually, which is also impossible.
"Your Highness, even if there is a first prize, our profit will exceed two million marks." Carl was confident about this. He invested a million marks in the company. If the profit this time exceeds 2 million marks, he can get 200,000 marks according to the profit share. It only takes five installments, and he will be able to recover all his investment.
Qin Tian nodded, if he can make a profit of two million, he can get a profit of one million. In this way, there are tens of millions of income a month. Fulfilling his promise to build a battleship for the German Navy, that wouldn't be a big deal at all.
"Let our people speed up the statistics. Once there is a big prize, immediately notify all the newspapers and let them start the second wave of publicity. Let more people buy our lottery tickets!" Qin Tian said.
Although tens of millions of lottery tickets were sold in the first phase, he was not satisfied with it. The lottery market in Germany as a whole should be bigger than this. With the various advantages of Shuangseqiu, they should be able to make the market bigger and earn more profits.
Carl nodded. He knew that the ability to attract money from a lottery like Shuangseqiu would be terrifying. Of course, this is not harmful to them. Who would think that they earn too much money?
Carl left immediately and personally sat in the review team to review the lottery tickets. Strive to complete statistics and calculate profits in the shortest possible time.
The bonuses for the two-color **** sold by Qin Tian are all fixed. The first prize is 5 million marks, the second prize is 100,000 marks, the third prize is 3,000 marks, the fourth prize is 200 marks, the fifth prize is 10 marks, and the sixth prize is 5 marks.
If after deducting various costs and bonuses this time, he can save a profit of two million marks, Qin Tian will already be very satisfied. After all, Shuangseqiu has three sessions every week. At the same time, their lottery sales have only just begun. Once it is on the right track, more lottery players will inevitably buy it. At that time, they will be able to grow with their profits.
Early the next morning, Karl reported the statistical results to Qin Tian with two dark circles under his eyes.
"Your Highness, the results have been calculated. There is a total of one first prize and eighteen second prizes. Including the following awards, the total prize money is almost twelve million. After deducting taxes and various costs, we The profit is 2.12 million marks." Carl looked excited.
"Great job, this is definitely a good start! Immediately send the prize money to those betting outlets, so that the winning lottery tickets can be easily redeemed. In addition, please report this matter to the newspapers we cooperate with." Qin Tian said excitedly .
"Okay, Your Highness. The sales of our second lottery ticket will also start today. We have prepared 15 million lottery tickets before, and I don't know if it will be enough."
"It's too late for the printing factory to print more. However, 20 million lottery tickets can be prepared for the next issue. If the sales are good, we can further increase."
As long as sales continue to boom, they can expand steadily step by step until the market is fully saturated. In this way, their profits will also be maximized. As the next step, you can start thinking about expanding to other countries.
Düsseldorf, a coal mine was off work, and a large number of coal miners poured out of the factory gate. They were covered with soot, and all in black.
Although Germany's industry is very developed, the life of the workers at the bottom is still very difficult.
Hans is one of these coal miners,
"Hans, how about going for a drink tonight?" said a big miner.
"No, Lina and the child are still waiting for me at home." Hans shook his head.
On the way home, passing by a lottery betting shop, Hans couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then took out a crumpled lottery ticket from his bag.
This was when the two-color ball was on sale, and he bought it when he passed by. Although, two marks are already very expensive for Hans. But he still hoped that God would have mercy on him.
After hesitating for a moment, Hans took the lottery ticket and walked towards the betting shop.
At this moment, many people in betting stations are buying lottery tickets or claiming prizes.
"Excuse me, did I win the lottery ticket?" Hans asked.
The staff here is a young and beautiful woman. Looking at Hans's dirty body, she couldn't help frowning. But her professional quality still made her smile and accepted the lottery ticket.
When the staff saw the numbers on the lottery ticket, their eyes widened.
"Oh my god! The headquarters is right, the grand prize is indeed sold at our betting shop."
"Sir, congratulations. You won the first prize in the last two-color ball. You will receive a pre-tax bonus of five million marks." The staff member said excitedly, as if he had won the big prize .
"What? He won the first prize?"
"God! How lucky!"
The whole betting shop was boiling.
