I Have a Wealth Gathering Array-Chapter 354: Collapse
Who doesn’t have the mindset of hoping to become the lucky one? However, with the grand prize taken, their chances are gone.
Hearing the person holding the ticket, the manager of the Yangyu Clothing store’s face changed slightly. After yesterday’s incident, today they’re too scared to fake anything.
But there’s only one grand prize, with so many raffle tickets, it’s not that easy to draw it.
"Hello, I’m the manager of this store. Could I take a look at the ticket?"
The manager stepped forward, smiling as she spoke.
"Sure, you can see it, just don’t try to destroy it under the eyes of so many people," the young man said, glancing around.
"Everyone, help me watch. I don’t trust this Yangyu Clothing store. If they take my ticket and don’t give the prize, I won’t be able to explain."
He let everyone have a good look at the ticket, and the string of zeros on it made the surrounding people envious.
"Bro, this ticket is real."
"Don’t worry, with us here, this Yangyu Clothing store surely can’t deny it."
"I’m recording a video; they’d never dare to fake it."
A few people said.
Seeing everyone gather around, the young man finally felt assured and handed over the ticket.
"Is it verified? Give me the three hundred thousand!"
Just two seconds passed, and the young man urged again.
Hearing his urging, the manager didn’t know what to feel inside.
So quickly, the grand prize is claimed. She could imagine she would get scolded.
She forced a smile and said, "There is no problem with the ticket. Please wait a moment, sir. We will redeem it immediately."
With so many eyes here, she couldn’t deny it; otherwise, trending online again would mean suicide for Yangyu Clothing store.
After a while, the young man received the money, his face filled with excitement, and he left under the envious gaze of the crowd.
"Alas, the grand prize is gone, we can’t get it."
With the grand prize gone, the urge vanished for many people.
"Keep drawing, other than the three hundred thousand, there are still four ten-thousand cash prizes!"
"Yes, maybe we can draw it."
Though a bit of the urge had disappeared, people still continued to buy clothes.
However, after half an hour, someone else came.
"Boss, my ticket won!"
Under everyone’s envious eyes, a ten-thousand cash ticket appeared.
Soon after, one after another, ten-thousand cash tickets were claimed, and even five-thousand ones...
As if prearranged, people constantly came, some suddenly to claim prizes, while others bought clothes without checking their tickets, then walked out, returning in a few minutes to claim.
This situation made everyone think they just drew the ticket.
If everyone suddenly came to claim, it would be suspicious, definitely using tricks to show the "reality" of the prize claiming.
By around five in the afternoon, all the large cash prize tickets had appeared.
"Three hundred thousand, ten thousand, five thousand... all big prizes have been claimed!"
"These people are too lucky! How fast it happened!"
"Now, the biggest ticket value in the draw box is less than ten thousand."
"Boring! Leaving, can’t win anyway."
With those large cash prizes redeemed, many people’s urge almost vanished.
They came for the big prizes; with them gone, why continue buying?
The points remain; they can come buy when they need clothes, isn’t that better?
For a moment, the customer flow at Yangyu Clothing store plummeted.
Not just this one, but the other four encountered the same situation, with big prizes constantly being redeemed under public eyes.
"What the heck, the grand prizes are all claimed in just one day!"
"Could it be Yangyu Clothing store’s deliberate trick? They didn’t release the prizes before, now releasing them just to have them drawn through special means."
"Right, must be Yangyu Clothing’s doing."
"This brand is unreliable. I’m never buying clothes here again."
People were buzzing with speculation, some even suspecting Yangyu Clothing store, given their history.
Briefly, Yangyu Clothing faced another wave of criticism, which heavily overshadowed praise.
...
What happened in the store soon reached Jason.
"What? All grand prizes have been claimed?" Hearing Tom’s report, Jason’s face changed and darkened.
"How is this possible?"
In such a short time, all grand prizes are claimed; though possible, the probability is so small, nearly impossible, like hitting the lottery jackpot.
Yet, this improbably small chance is happening here.
"Jason, now with the grand prizes gone, people’s enthusiasm for shopping has significantly diminished. Evening’s flow is less than a fifth of the morning." Tom also looked grim.
Jason was looking at numerous comments online, with many suggesting Yangyu Clothing orchestrated it themselves.
"Are these people idiots!"
Reading the comments, Jason cursed inwardly. If they orchestrated themselves, would they claim all prizes on the first day? Then let them suspect? Let them rant?
He’d be a fool to do that.
Cursing internally, Jason felt heartache.
The five stores’ grand prizes together totaled over five million! Claimed in less than two days!
After compensating Qin Xiaotao before, he had already spent a million in vain!
Here in Huaxia for market expansion, he had just over ten million flexible funds post-store opening, meaning he’s now out of money.
Now, Jason felt on the verge of collapsing.
"Damn it! What’s happening?" Jason couldn’t help but think.
Meanwhile, Tom asked again: "Jason, what should we do in the store now?"
With big prizes gone, they must think of other ways to boost the business.
Jason said nothing, face dark, seemingly pondering.
At this time, his phone rang.
Seeing the caller, Jason quickly answered.
"Jason, my son, what are you doing over there in Jinling?"
Jason’s father, Hebrew, spoke with a hint of anger in his voice.
Clearly, someone had already reported the situation back.
"Dad, it’s all Celestial Fortune’s doing," Jason promptly replied, "It’s Qin Yun’s trickery."
Clearing out the draw box must be Qin Yun’s doing, but he wasn’t sure about later occurrences.
However, blaming Qin Yun was certainly not wrong.
"Hmph, I told you earlier that Qin Yun is tricky, now you see," Hebrew said in a deep voice.
