Song Xintong hurried into Lu Yunkai's study with a skirt. He was cooking tea. The tea smoke was curling and the aroma was overflowing.
Lu Yunkai frowned and helped her: "what do you do in such a hurry? Be careful not to fall. "
"I watch the road." Song Xintong sat on one side of the chair with a smile, "I thought of a way to do business from the lottery today. I think it's profitable."
Lu Yunkai: "tell me about it?"
Although there have been scholars, peasants, industry and Commerce since ancient times, in the early days of the founding of the people's Republic of China, the State Treasury was empty. In order to fill the state treasury, merchants were not restricted. Instead, they were encouraged to do business. Nowadays, although the rich businessmen are not as good as the officials, they are in the same position as the peasants and workers, and even more than them.
Anyway, the rich and powerful are the boss.
Therefore, Lu Yunkai doesn't mind whether his wife is in business or who is an official. His family doesn't run a shop. It's just a matter of whether the business is good or bad and whether there are more or less shops.
Moreover, his wife did not appear in public, and Lu Yunkai did not care.
Song Xintong immediately put forward his own idea, "we can make wooden bumps like today, with numbers written on them, from one to twenty or more. People can draw seven numbers for only two Wen, and sort them in order. A few days is one issue. When the time comes, they will randomly draw them out in public, If someone buys as like as two peas, they will get a big prize.
"How much is the grand prize?"
"It can be divided into three numbers, four numbers, five numbers, six numbers and seven numbers. The specific number is set by us. Generally, three numbers are five Wen, and the extra money is for the number." Song Xintong recalled the rules of buying lottery tickets in her previous life. It seems that if she won a few lottery tickets, she would get rich. She bought less and never won. So it's not very clear what the rules are, so she had to say it carelessly and didn't say it in depth.
"What do you think?" Song Xintong pause, "unless luck is very can win, bad luck is to give us money, one person two Wen money, suppose 1000 people buy, also have two liang silver."
Lu Yunkai thinks about it carefully. He thinks it's similar to guessing odd and even numbers on the street. He can guess once for a few Wen. If he guesses right, it used to be yours. If he doesn't, the money will go to the boss.
"It's a bit like that, but the temptation of that is not big, and we must open a shop to do this, and we won't play tricks. It all depends on luck, and our boss is there, and we won't run away." Song Xintong said: "and I have other different ways. I'm afraid we'll get a lot of income every day."
"We only need a small shop. The shops with less than 10 square meters in the county have less than two liang rent a month. We only need to sell them once to earn money."
"What if they all win?"
"How can it be? The probability is too small, and the order should be right, where is such an easy thing." Song Xintong added: "we can also set up three figures, all pairs are less than ten Wen, and we can also set up some other lucky draw items. It is certain that many people give us money for nothing."
"If we open one in every county or big city, how much money can we make a day?"
The more song Xintong thinks about it, the happier she is. Let her think about it. What kind of lucky draw is there in the lottery shop?
Seeing that his wife was so happy, Lu Yunkai couldn't help saying, "but have you ever thought that this kind of business like gambling house is easy to be envied by people, and it's easy to be targeted by the hooligans in the city, and how can gambling house allow you to be big?"
Song Xintong frowned. It's true. If she is highly respected, places like gambling houses will certainly be envious. Moreover, she doesn't have a strong backstage, so it certainly won't work.
"What if Lajiang Mingzhao joins the gang?" Asked song Xintong.
Lu Yunkai shook his head, "Jiang Mingzhao, they only do business in commercial banks. They don't involve gambling, and they don't dare to do it easily."
"Really not? You can make a lot of money. " Song Xintong sighed and didn't want to give up the business. "Do you have to have a senior official as the backstage? Is there an elder in Jiang Mingzhao's family who is an official in the court
"Because of this, I dare not touch it." Lu Yunkai said lightly.
"So." Song Xintong was a little disappointed, but he also wanted to think that it was not so easy to make a living under the emperor's feet. It was not as easy as the ordinary people like them. As long as they had a little money, they could live happily.
"What about working with the casino?" Asked song Xintong.
Lu Yunkai said: "it's possible to have a try, but the gambling houses in the county and the city are not very good, and we don't know what kind of temperament their owners are. If we cooperate, we will suffer some losses."
Song Xintong understands that most of these gambling houses are vicious people. If they can't make an agreement, they may be robbed of the way to make money and can't earn a cent. It's really not cost-effective.
What's more, how can she not do such a lucrative opportunity? What a fire!
Lu Yunkai looked at his wife's disappointed eyes and said, "if you really want to do this, I'll write to Jiang Mingzhao to see if he has other ways."
"Good." Song Xintong immediately responded. If he could sell this method or make a small profit, it would be OK.
Her courage is not small, but in this great Zhou Dynasty, it's better to be careful. After all, she is just an ordinary people, and she doesn't want to have more right and wrong.
"If it's too dangerous, let's forget it. Originally, our restaurant has attracted people's attention. If we have more business, I'm afraid we won't have a safe life." Song Xintong sighed. "The day before yesterday, uncle Yang said that our restaurant business in Lingnan city was not bad. Now that fresh energy has passed, there are still more than 100 taels of silver in the account every day. There are more than 200 taels of silver in the account every day, which is not as good as those big restaurants in Zhuangyuan building, but compared with the small pubs and small restaurants nearby, it is already one of the best."
"Then you don't have to worry about it. You can have a baby at home." Lu Yunkai patted song Xintong on the back of his hand.
"Well, don't worry now." Song Xintong also gently patted the folds on Lu Yunkai's clothes. "I want to wait until the end of next year to collect the silver. You can read without worry. "
"Good." Lu Yun moved at the bottom of his heart and gently lowered his head to kiss song Xintong's eyebrows. The warm touch made song Xintong's heart move. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, smiling and gently pushed him.
Lu Yunkai, who was pushed away, was aggrieved. "Don't you like it?"
"I like it." Song Xintong angry at him, "the door is not closed."
"What are you afraid of? Nobody sees you."
"Dabao, they are outside. Stop making trouble. It's time to have dinner."
