I Have a Wealth Gathering Array-Chapter 348: Lavish Spending, Emptying the Lottery Box
Upon hearing Qin Xiaotao’s words, the cashier’s face changed immediately. Just as she was about to say something, a woman in her thirties suddenly walked over.
"Manager." Seeing the woman, the young cashier quickly called out, as if she had seen a savior.
Obviously, now there was another customer causing trouble, and such matters were not easy for a cashier to handle.
"Hello, I am Wu Lan, the store manager of the clothing store." Looking at Qin Xiaotao, Wu Lan smiled and said, "Sir, is there an issue you would like to discuss with me?"
Qin Xiaotao pointed at the sweepstakes box and repeated, "I suspect that your clothing store didn’t put the grand prize in the sweepstakes box."
Hearing this, Wu Lan maintained her smile and said, "Sir, you must be joking. Our Yangyu Clothing store wouldn’t resort to fraud over a grand prize of three hundred thousand."
"Fraud?"
Qin Xiaotao pointed at a sign in the Yangyu Clothing store that read: "Yangyu Clothing is a major international brand worth billions, and if we were to commit fraud, we would compensate five times the amount! I don’t believe they would do that either."
He paused, then continued, "I just want to ask, if there really isn’t a grand prize in the sweepstakes box and you’re deceiving us to make us spend money, how would you handle that? Would the compensation be fivefold as well?"
"Yeah, if there really isn’t a grand prize, that would be fraud!"
"I spent so much money; if there’s no prize, I want my money back!"
At this moment, many people in the store gathered around to watch the spectacle, some shouting loudly.
Many people must have felt a bit of resentment for not winning a prize.
At this point, quite a few people were using their phones, holding selfie sticks, seemingly livestreaming the event.
Noticing the situation, Wu Lan’s expression finally changed slightly.
This was obviously not a trivial matter; if mishandled, it would be a major blow to Yangyu Clothing, which had not been open for long!
However, her psychological resilience was strong, and she quickly calmed down, saying, "Please rest assured, sir. The grand prize is definitely in the sweepstakes box; we would never deceive our customers. If it weren’t, naturally, there would be a fivefold compensation."
Given the current situation with some people even livestreaming, they definitely needed to handle it properly.
Clarifying their stance was crucial; first and foremost, it was important to calm everyone down.
Could anyone really test all those sweepstakes tickets one by one? Arranging for someone to win a prize tomorrow would solve the problem perfectly.
Wu Lan thought to herself, but at this moment, Qin Xiaotao didn’t give her any time to respond. Calmly, he said, "Alright, I’m ready to verify it then!"
He looked at the crowd and said, "Please bear witness for me. I’m going to buy all these sweepstakes tickets to see if there’s really a grand prize of three hundred thousand. I’ll check for everyone!"
"Haha, my man, you’re bold!"
"I have things to do this afternoon, but I want to stay here to watch you draw lots."
"Bro, I’m live-streaming this, and all my viewers and I will be your witnesses."
As soon as Qin Xiaotao finished speaking, several people in the crowd responded.
They looked interested; clearing out the prize pool was bound to be intriguing.
After speaking, Qin Xiaotao looked at Wu Lan, whose expression had slightly changed, and said, "Since the grand prize is in the prize pool, your Yangyu Clothing store should be more than happy to let me empty the prize pool, right?"
Like buying a lottery ticket with a jackpot of five million, but buying all the tickets would cost millions more, meaning you’d end up spending more.
Similarly, even if Qin Xiaotao emptied the prize pool and obtained the grand prize of three hundred thousand, plus some other rewards, the total would definitely not equate to what Qin Xiaotao had spent.
"Yeah, you’re emptying the prize pool for Yangyu Clothing, which will significantly increase the revenue! Your boss would probably wake up laughing from such a dream."
"You’re not going to disagree, are you?"
"Could it be that there’s really no grand prize in that sweepstakes box?"
Seeing Wu Lan not speaking, the crowd immediately chimed in.
Could there really be something fishy?
Over ninety percent of them believed there was a grand prize; after all, three hundred thousand was nothing for Yangyu Clothing.
At this moment, Wu Lan’s heart sank.
Was Qin Xiaotao really going to draw all the sweepstakes tickets?
The situation was so sudden, with so many people watching and others livestreaming, how was she going to handle it?
Could she not let Qin Xiaotao draw?
In truth, if there was actually a grand prize, the business would be thrilled if someone drew all the tickets. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
That way, the business would be hugely profitable.
Like hoping everyone buys a lottery ticket.
If they didn’t let him draw, before long, there would likely be countless news articles and videos online.
"A major international brand like Yangyu Clothing deceiving customers, not willing to give out three hundred thousand."
"Yangyu Clothing didn’t place the grand prize in the sweepstakes box, afraid to let anyone draw."
If such news came out, Yangyu Clothing would quickly fall into the center of public opinion, receiving a torrent of abuse and potentially facing resistance from many, collapsing the favorable situation they had built.
A newly established store fears these situations the most; well-established stores have ways to mitigate them, but they do not.
With many thoughts racing through her mind, the crowd began to discuss further. Wu Lan knew she couldn’t stop it.
She was already in a difficult position.
Despite her anxiety, Wu Lan maintained a smile and said, "If you want to clear the prize pool, sir, you’re most welcome. However, purchasing all the tickets currently in the sweepstakes box would require spending approximately two hundred twenty thousand on clothes."
There are tens of thousands of tickets, with corresponding grand prizes worth around sixty to seventy thousand, but drawing all the tickets requires spending two hundred twenty thousand on clothes to have that many draw attempts.
That’s why, even if someone was suspicious, they wouldn’t attempt it.
If Yangyu Clothing did put the grand prize in the sweepstakes box, would they spend over two hundred thousand to get sixty-something thousand?
Wouldn’t they be fools to do that?
They didn’t dare to gamble, but Qin Yun dared!
"What’s Qin Xiaotao doing? How can he come up with over two hundred thousand?"
The crowd gathered around, and salesperson Yue Siya, who was also present, watched Qin Xiaotao with a trace of shock in her eyes.
She had met Qin Xiaotao on a blind date before and knew his situation; he had no car or house in Jinling, so how could he produce that much money?
Even with a monthly salary of twenty thousand, it would take ten years without spending another cent to accumulate that amount.
"Alright, swipe the card! I have two hundred thirty thousand here!" Qin Xiaotao said calmly, producing a bank card.
Before returning, Qin Yun called Zhao Tianqiang to swiftly pull the funds from the store.
These were earnings from the past two days, squeezed from each clothing store.
Qin Yun knew this gamble carried no risk and was determined to bet on it!
After swiping the card, Wu Lan’s heart sank even more. Qin Xiaotao actually produced the money, just to draw lottery tickets.
In fact, she was just the store manager here and didn’t know Qin Xiaotao.
"I’ll choose the clothes later, but can I draw these tickets now?"
After paying, Qin Xiaotao asked.
Wu Lan forced a smile and said, "Of course you can."
