Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Have the flat-headed guy lead a group to set up a lottery ticket sales point on every street in Yau Tsim Mong. They will sell lottery tickets, but the tickets can only be sold to people who have bought the "Tai Shan Daily".

Because of Blue Whale's instructions, Jordan Boy and Flathead had no doubts about Xiao Shan's orders.

Meanwhile, Xiaoshan also had the newspaper print news about giving away lottery tickets in the Taishan Daily for the next few days.

After today, most of the regular customers of the Taishan Daily will know about this.

Jordan Boys' publicity efforts have been quite effective, and many of his aunts and uncles know about it.

Time quickly came to the day when the lucky draw began.

On the first day, most of the people who came to draw prizes were regular customers of the Taishan Daily. They were all there to try their luck and see if they could actually win the prizes.

Many people became interested after seeing that they actually redeemed prizes from the sales point using their lottery tickets.

You should know that people in Hong Kong are very interested in gambling!

Although the Taishan Daily called this event a lottery, they considered it no different from gambling.

Although the first lottery ticket was given away for free, and subsequent tickets cost two yuan each, many people still bought two tickets on the spot to try their luck.

In their view, spending a few dollars to try their luck at winning is definitely not a loss!

At least compared to losing everything at a casino, you can at least get some consolation prizes like oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar!

At first, these people were relatively restrained, but when they saw someone actually win prizes like TVs, washing machines, and fans by scratching them and redeeming them on the spot, they went completely crazy!

Before leaving get off work that day, Zhao Yida came to report to Xiao Shan that more than 5 million of the 20 million lottery tickets had been sold, which meant more than 10 million yuan had been earned!

After deducting the cost of printing the lottery tickets and the prizes that were redeemed, they must have made at least several million!

If you're going to make this much money selling newspapers, I wonder how long it will take!

"Boss, judging from the situation, there will only be more and more people coming to buy lottery tickets tomorrow. Should we work overtime to print more lottery tickets?" Zhao Yida asked Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan shook his head: "The main purpose of this event is to enhance the reputation of our Taishan Daily. Making money by buying lottery tickets is secondary!"

Seeing that Xiao Shan rejected his suggestion without hesitation, Zhao Yida was somewhat disappointed but also felt admiration.

After all, not everyone has the same level of self-control as their boss!

Meanwhile, Flathead and Jordan are reporting the daytime events to the blue whale.

Although they didn't know exactly how many lottery tickets were sold, they were very clear that Xiaoshan had made a lot of money from this!

After listening to the reports from Flathead and Jordan, Blue Whale said with some surprise, "It seems that this Xiao Sheng is really quite capable!"

"Boss, I didn't expect these little cards to be so profitable. Should we jump on the bandwagon and get some too?" Jordan suggested to Blue Whale.

Blue Whale looked at Jordan with some speechlessness: "Where are we going to get so many things as prizes in such a short time? And do you think the Hong Kong government won't do anything about this?"

"They call it a lottery, but isn't it just like gambling? You'll see, in a few days, the Hong Kong government will issue a notice to restrict this kind of behavior!"

Hearing Blue Whale's words, Jordan said with some disappointment, "That's such a pity! I was hoping to jump on the bandwagon and make some money!"

"Don't even think about following the trend!" Blue Whale laughed, looking at Jordan's expression. "Making a fortune is still no problem!"

Jordan immediately perked up: "Boss, what do you mean?"

"Xiao Sheng borrowed people from our Sanlian this time. After the event, Sanlian will definitely get some benefits!" Blue Whale said with a smile. "You two are working hard by Xiao Sheng's side, and he'll reward you in some way!"

"I understand, boss! We'll definitely do our best!" Jordan felt as if he was suddenly filled with energy.

The next day, at eight o'clock in the morning.

Against the blue sky, a ray of sunshine rises from the east, and Hong Kong's daily routine begins.

In Hong Kong's money-driven society, the pace of life is extremely fast, and you could be left behind if you're not careful.

Especially for migrant workers, almost all of them set off for work at this time.

Li Ying, a newcomer who has just joined the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit, has a bright future ahead of him.

Moreover, Li Ying is extremely hardworking.

Although the Major Crimes Unit's working hours are flexible and there's no need to rush, he always makes sure to be on duty at 8 a.m. every day.

But today, an accident happened.

For some unknown reason, a long line of vehicles had formed on West Kowloon Highway.

Along the roadside, groups of elderly women, seemingly just out buying groceries, were rushing in the same direction.

The sounds of horns, shouts, and greetings mingled and echoed throughout the air.

"What's going on?"

"Who knows? I've been stuck here for half an hour, and there's no sign of it moving at all."

"Hey driver, why aren't you driving? I'm going to be late."

"Yeah, hurry up, why are you stopping?"

"I'd like to leave, but there's a traffic jam!"

……

Li Ying was sitting on a bus, which was also carrying many people rushing to work.

The bus, which had been traveling smoothly, was stuck in traffic shortly after entering West Kowloon Highway and could not move.

Such a situation is extremely rare in Hong Kong.

After all, private cars in Hong Kong are not yet rampant.

Traffic jams only happen a few times a year.

"Could there have been a major car accident up ahead?" Upon seeing this, Li Ying, driven by a strong work ethic, immediately stood up from his seat and called out, "Driver, open the door, I want to get off."

"Hey, I'll get off and run too!"

"Get off the bus, I'm getting off too. Judging from the situation, we won't be able to move for a while."

"Are you kidding me? You're getting off here?"

……

Following Li Ying's actions, many passengers also got off the bus.

After getting off the bus, everyone went their separate ways.

Li Ying followed the traffic jam forward, trying to find the source of the problem.

Soon, Li Ying arrived at a lottery ticket sales point of the Taishan Daily.

Huge banners were fluttering in the breeze, and a dense crowd of people surged about, creating a festive atmosphere reminiscent of Christmas.

Some people are going in, and some are going out.

Li Ying took a closer look and found that most of them were elderly women in their forties or fifties who were buying groceries.

Their behavior was very strange; some of them looked unhappy, grumbling and cursing, while carrying groceries that they had clearly just bought.

Some people, however, were all smiles, carrying large and small bags.

What's most astonishing is that there are rectangular pieces of paper scattered all over the ground nearby.

It was almost one picture per step, and the whole place looked like a garbage dump.

"What is this?" Because there were too many people, Li Ying couldn't squeeze in for a while, so he could only pick up a piece of paper from the ground and look at it.

"Thank you for your support! Taishan Newspaper Group is giving back to its readers with a free lucky draw!"

"Thank you for participating. I wish you good health."

After looking at it from both sides, Li Ying still couldn't figure it out.

Just then, the words of the older women reached his ears.

"Seventh Aunt, you're so lucky! You snagged a fan! How much did it cost?"

"Twenty yuan, bought ten tickets."

"Such good luck, only bought ten tickets? Why don't you keep scratching?"

"Um, I just came out to buy groceries this morning and stopped by. I didn't have much money on me! I'll go back and get some now, and come back to scratch the car later! I'm having such good luck today, maybe I can scratch a car for my son!"

"Ugh, I'm so unlucky today. I scratched twenty tickets and only got a few packets of salt. What a loss!"

"Third Aunt, haven't you been praying to the gods lately? Your luck is so bad! Look at me, I just went to pray to Wong Tai Sin yesterday, and today I only spent two yuan and won a watch!"

"What you said seems to make sense. Let's go pray to the gods..."

The conversation between the aunties and grandmas was very fragmented and somewhat nonsensical, often veerging far off-topic.

But the astute Li Ying still figured out what game they had played and what prizes they had won.

"Oh, that means there are no more cases!" Li Ying, who was eager to solve a major case, immediately lost interest.

He's not some old lady buying groceries, and he doesn't care about taking advantage of others.

Since he was already there, Li Ying decided to squeeze forward and take a look, just to satisfy his curiosity.

Soon, Li Ying, sweating profusely from the crowd, finally reached the street.

A huge banner stood out: "Taishan Daily is giving away millions of yuan worth of gifts to thank its new and old readers!"

Ten rectangular wooden tables were placed under the banner.

Behind the rectangular wooden table sat a group of women.

These women were recruited by the crew-cut men and Jordan Boys to sell lottery tickets.

After all, compared to these gangsters, these women seemed more approachable and wouldn't frighten the gossipy aunts and uncles who came upon hearing the news.

Since many readers of the Taishan Daily won prizes yesterday, news of the Taishan Daily's event has spread like wildfire.

That's why so many people want to try their luck today.

It wasn't just this lottery ticket sales point; almost all the lottery ticket sales points that Xiao Shan had Ping Tou and his team set up were just as bustling.

In front of these women were boxes filled with playing cards.

What's even more striking is that right behind them, there are piles of large boxes.

Judging from the signs, there are refrigerators, televisions, fans, washing machines...

Of course, daily necessities such as salt, MSG, and soy sauce are also indispensable...

Just as Li Ying was carefully observing the sales point, the people behind him were already urging him on.

"Hey young man, are you buying or not? If not, get out of the way!"

"Hey kid, what are you standing there for? If you're not going to buy it, hurry up and move on, or you'll keep me from scratching your car."

"You damn bastard, look at your pathetic state, you're having a run of bad luck too. You're ruining our sisters' fortune, can you afford to compensate us?"

"Yeah, you loser, get lost!"

……

Although Li Ying was a policeman, he couldn't withstand the overwhelming public outcry!

Especially those who cursed him from behind, most of them were old ladies buying groceries who wanted to get something for nothing.

These people are not to be trifled with, and Li Ying didn't want to get into a fight with them on the street.

So he quickly reached into his pocket, took out his wallet, and said to the woman behind the table, "How much is one? Give me two!"

However, to Li Ying's surprise, the woman smiled and said to him, "I'm sorry, sir, you haven't purchased the 'Taishan Daily,' so I can't sell you this lottery ticket!"

Li Ying was taken aback: "What do you mean? What do you mean you can't sell it to me without the Taishan Daily? It's not like I'm not willing to pay!"

The woman behind the table patiently explained, "Sir, these raffle tickets are a way of giving back to our readers of the *Taishan Daily*, so if you want to buy a ticket, you must first be a reader of the *Taishan Daily*!"

"Furthermore, you'll receive a free raffle ticket when you purchase the Taishan Daily!"

Li Ying then realized why everyone here was holding a newspaper!

"Excuse me, excuse me, I'll come back later!" Li Ying retreated from the crowd with a face full of embarrassment.
