Seeing the increasingly excited onlookers, Xiao Shan was very satisfied. He bowed slightly and gestured to Turkey, saying, "Come on, ma'am, please stand up!"

"Okay, okay!"

The turkey was overjoyed when it heard that the ticket and the prize were real.

As soon as Xiao Shan called out, she immediately climbed onto the wooden table and stood next to him.

The turkey looked radiant, grinning from ear to ear, as if it had just found a gold ingot.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Shan shouted in a booming voice, "I am Xiao Shan, the owner of Taishan Daily and the initiator of this event!"

"On behalf of our company, I would like to congratulate this lady on winning the grand prize of our reward voucher: a brand new Mercedes-Benz sedan!"

"Congratulations, ma'am!"

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Xiao!" Turkey grabbed Xiao Shan's hand and shook it vigorously.

If Xiao Shan hadn't pulled his hand away, judging from her excited state, they probably would have held hands for several minutes.

"Alright, enough with the chit-chat. I'm sure you're all eager to see this lady's prize." Xiao Shan pointed to the end of the street. "Come on, everyone, look over there!"

Following the direction Xiao Shan pointed, everyone turned to look.

At the end of the street, three brand-new cars were parked quietly.

Xiaoshan is giving away three big prizes in this lottery, and two of them will be awarded today.

The remaining one will be released tomorrow.

The reason for this arrangement is that Xiaoshan is well aware that after yesterday's warm-up, there will definitely be a lot of people coming to draw prizes today, and the remaining prize tickets will probably only last until tomorrow.

So naturally we need to make a big splash today so that everyone can remember the name of Taishan Daily!

Xiao Shan said to the turkey, "Madam, congratulations again! You can drive away in your Mercedes anytime!"

"Of course, if you need our people to take you back, that's fine too!"

"Here, this is the key!"

"Please wait a moment while the procedures are completed; our staff will get it done for you as soon as possible."

Turkey's eyes lit up when he saw the bunch of car keys Xiao Shan took out. He quickly grabbed them and laughed wildly, "Hahaha, thank you, thank you, Mr. Xiao!"

"Xiao Sheng, you are such a good person to organize such an event to give back to the community."

"Don't worry, when I get back, I'll definitely promote your company's Taishan Daily!"

"These days, there aren't many bosses as handsome and honest as you, Mr. Xiao!"

……

Turkey was already somewhat incoherent, but no one said anything to her.

After all, getting a car for two dollars is more exciting than gambling!

In this situation, it's already a good thing that the turkey hasn't fainted, as it's just rambling nonsense!

"Turkey?" Xiao Shan was surprised to see a character from "The God of Cookery" here. He thought to himself, "I wonder if a bodhisattva will actually descend to earth when the plot of 'The God of Cookery' unfolds!"

On the surface, Xiao Shan maintained his charming demeanor: "Ms. Turkey, you flatter me! I should thank you for your support of our Taishan Daily!"

"This event will last for three days, so we hope you win many big prizes!"

Turkey nodded repeatedly and said, "Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Xiao! You can just call me Turkey, that's what everyone who knows me calls me!"

"Alright then!" Xiao Shan nodded slightly. "Turkey, whose name do you want to put on that car?"

“Of course it’s mine,” the turkey said without hesitation.

After thanking Xiaoshan again for a while, the turkey finally got off the table.

Xiao Shan also jumped off the table and asked the Taishan Daily staff to take the turkey to complete the formalities.

Seeing the turkey leave, her two henchmen quickly followed.

After Xiao Shan left, the people buying lottery tickets became even more frenzied.

I wonder how many people started buying whole boxes of scratch cards, hoping to win a car like the turkey.

Xiao Shan returned to his office, and Zhao Yida came looking for him.

Zhao Yida told Xiaoshan that many newsstand owners had called them, asking them to deliver newspapers to their stalls.

But they've already delivered all 100,000 copies of the newspapers they printed today!

"Print another 50,000 copies!" Xiao Shan said to Zhao Yida after thinking for a moment.

Zhao Yida couldn't help but ask with some concern, "Boss, isn't this too much?"

It should be noted that the Taishan Daily used to have a maximum daily circulation of only 30,000 copies.

Now that sales have surged to over 100,000 units, Zhao Yida is genuinely worried that he won't be able to sell them all!

"Don't worry!" Xiao Shan said with a smile, "At least we don't have to worry about not selling out today and tomorrow! We'll print 200,000 copies tomorrow!"

Zhao Yida nodded: "I understand! But what about after tomorrow?"

"Let's print 50,000 copies first and see how it goes!" Xiao Shan said after thinking for a moment. "Once Guan You and the others finish writing the novel I gave them, we'll increase the print run!"

"Okay, boss!" Zhao Yida nodded and then left Xiao Shan's office.

After watching Zhao Yida leave, Xiao Shan went to the gunmen's office to check on their progress.

After some observation, Xiao Shan discovered that several ghostwriters with excellent comprehension skills had already begun to try publishing their work.

They all wrote novels with historical backgrounds.

Therefore, it seems that works with a historical background are more likely to help ghostwriters adapt to writing and get into the flow more quickly.

After all, the great martial arts novelists of this era all created martial arts novels with historical backgrounds, and writers tend to read a lot of these kinds of novels.

"It seems that it won't be long before these novels are published in the Taishan Daily!" Xiao Shan thought to himself as he looked at the ghostwriters deep in thought.

I returned home in the evening and had dinner.

Xiao Shan was just about to take a rest when he heard someone knocking on the door.

When Xiao Shan opened the door, he found it was Lou Xiao'e.

After inviting Lou Xiao'e to sit down at his home, Xiao Shan asked with some curiosity, "Sister Xiao'e, what brings you here today?"

"I heard your Taishan Daily held some kind of lucky draw event, it's causing quite a stir!" Lou Xiao'e asked Xiao Shan with some curiosity, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Seeing Lou Xiao'e's curiosity, Xiao Shan explained the lottery event.

Upon hearing that Xiao Shan had given away two Mercedes-Benz cars today, Lou Xiao'e looked at him in shock and said, "Won't you suffer a huge loss by giving things away like this?"

"You won't lose money, you might even make a profit!" Xiao Shan said with a smile.

Lou Xiao'e was somewhat incredulous: "No way!"

"Really!" Xiao Shan said to Lou Xiao'e, "The prizes I gave out this time cost a total of 5 million yuan. I printed 20 million lottery tickets, each costing 2 yuan!"

Lou Xiao'e almost exclaimed in surprise: "If that's the case, you'd make 35 million? Is this lottery event really that profitable?"

"I can't earn that much. I still need to cover printing costs! And I have to pay for the travel expenses of the people I borrow from the gang!" Xiao Shan said with a smile. "All things considered, the costs aren't low, but earning 2000 million shouldn't be a problem!"

"Xiaoshan, you really are a business genius!" Lou Xiao'e looked at Xiao Shan with admiration and said, "If you do this a few more times, won't you become a billionaire?"

Xiao Shan shook his head: "This can only be done once! The Hong Kong government isn't stupid. After seeing me do this once, they will definitely come up with policies to close this loophole immediately!"

"That's such a pity!" Lou Xiao'e said with some disappointment. "Since we can only play once, why not go big? Print hundreds of millions of lottery tickets!"

Xiao Shan said somewhat speechlessly, "How many people are there in Hong Kong? Who would I sell hundreds of millions of copies to? Besides, the main purpose of this event is to increase the reputation of Taishan Daily!"

“That makes sense!” Lou Xiao’e nodded. “But isn’t it a bit of putting the cart before the horse to hold such a big event just to increase the reputation of the Taishan Daily?”

Xiao Shan held up a finger and shook it in front of Lou Xiao'e: "No, no, no, the Taishan Daily is far more important than earning this little bit of money!"

"Twenty million? You actually said that's a small amount of money? You're really talking big!" Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan chuckled and didn't dwell on the matter: "By the way, Sister Xiao'e, I'd like to find two assistants. Do you know anyone reliable who you could recommend?"

"An assistant?" Lou Xiao'e thought for a moment, then looked at Xiao Shan and smiled, "Xiao Shan, what do you think of me, Sister Xiao'e?"

Xiao Shan was taken aback when he didn't expect Lou Xiao'e to volunteer herself.

However, she then smiled and said, "Sister Xiao'e, of course you can! But if you become my assistant, what will happen to the Kyushu Restaurant?"

Lou Xiao'e is currently in charge of the finances of Jiuzhou Restaurant, and Lou Bancheng will likely hand over the reins of Jiuzhou Restaurant to Lou Xiao'e in the future.

"This seems to be a problem!" Lou Xiao'e frowned. "I'll look for someone for you later, and I'll let you know as soon as I have any news!"

Xiao Shan nodded and said with a smile, "Then I'll thank you in advance, Sister Xiao'e!"

After chatting for a while, Lou Xiao'e got up to go home.

As soon as Xiao Shan saw Lou Xiao'e off at the door, he saw Lou Bancheng coming over.

Lou Bancheng was followed by a blond, blue-eyed foreign middle-aged man.

"Dad, what brings you here?" Lou Xiao'e asked in surprise as she looked at Lou Bancheng appearing at the door.

Lou Bancheng laughed and said, "What? You can come and chat with Xiaoshan, but I can't?"

"Dad, what are you saying!" Lou Xiao'e said, somewhat speechless.

At this moment, Xiao Shan stepped forward and said to Lou Bancheng, "Uncle, please come in and sit down!"

Lou Bancheng nodded and led the foreign man into Xiao Shan's home.

Lou Xiao'e was curious, so she turned back.

After they sat down in the living room, Xiao Shan personally poured them tea.

Lou Bancheng said to Xiao Shan, "Xiao Shan, I've been asked by this Mr. Johnny to bring him to visit you!"

"Mr. Johnny?" Xiao Shan glanced at the foreign man with some curiosity.

"Xiaoshan, this is Mr. Johnny, the president of BMW Asia Pacific!" Lou Bancheng introduced the two. "Mr. Johnny, this is Mr. Xiao Shan, the owner of Taishan Newspaper and a major shareholder of our Kyushu Group!"

Upon hearing Lou Bancheng's introduction, Johnny looked at Xiao Shan and smiled, saying, "Mr. Xiao, hello. My name is Johnny South Joe, and I am German."

"I've taken the liberty of coming to your door tonight because there's a matter of cooperation I'd like to discuss with you, Mr. Xiao."

Johnny's Cantonese is quite fluent, which shows that he has been in Hong Kong for quite some time.

Xiao Shan looked at Johnny with some doubt and asked, "Mr. Johnny, hello. We're all out doing business, so there's no need to be presumptuous. But I'm just wondering, Mr. Johnny, what kind of cooperation do you want to discuss with me?"

Johnny didn't mince words: "Mr. Xiao, I heard that you recently held a customer appreciation event, which caused quite a stir in Hong Kong!"

"Just luck!" Xiao Shan waved his hand and said.

"Mr. Xiao is too modest!" Johnny exclaimed with a broad smile. "I've been working in Hong Kong for over ten years, and I've never seen a business event cause such a sensation here!"

"Mr. Xiao's talent in promotion and publicity is probably unmatched by anyone in Southeast Asia!"

Hearing Johnny's words, Xiao Shan had already guessed Johnny's purpose in coming.

Although this guy was praising himself in every sentence, he wasn't referring to his business acumen, but rather to promotion and publicity.

Their intentions are quite clear!

I just didn't expect that the people from Mercedes-Benz wouldn't come, but this guy did!

It seems this guy really has some skills to become a CEO!

"Mr. Johnny, you flatter me!" Although Xiao Shan guessed his purpose, he did not point it out and continued to watch his performance.

“I’m speaking from the heart, and there’s absolutely no exaggeration in my words,” Johnny said seriously. “Take today for example, Mr. Xiao’s small lottery ticket has made everyone in Hong Kong talking about our Mercedes-Benz. The publicity in one day is equivalent to their publicity over the past few years!”

Upon hearing Johnny's words, Lou Xiao'e, who was standing nearby, understood Johnny's purpose in coming.

So this guy saw the promotion for Mercedes-Benz in the lottery event in Xiaoshan and came to poach their customers!

Before Mr. Johnny could finish speaking, he continued, "Mr. Xiao, you may not know this, but BMW's business in Hong Kong has never been very good."

"People in Hong Kong love Japanese cars! According to our company's survey, Japanese cars accounted for 80% of all car purchases made in Hong Kong last year!"

“I’ve tried many methods: advertising, hiring people to promote, top-tier promotion… I’ve used everything I could.”
