The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 275 Madness (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"I won! I won!"

At a lottery sales point on Fa Yuen Street in Mong Kok, a middle-aged man laughed heartily, his face beaming with excitement.

"What did you win? What did you win?"

The customers nearby immediately gathered around, all looking on with envy, and asked questions one after another.

"A motorcycle worth eight thousand, what great luck today!"

The middle-aged man who won the prize laughed heartily, and then, surrounded by other customers, he arrived at the prize redemption area.

After a thorough inspection by the staff, and finding no problems, they immediately brought out a brand new motorcycle.

Then, amidst the envious gazes of many customers, the brand-new motorcycle was ridden away by the middle-aged man who won the prize.

This scene, however, stirred a burning passion in the hearts of the lottery buyers.

"Give me a box of lottery tickets!" "Give me fifty!" "I want a box too!"

"..."

The average wage for workers on Hong Kong Island had reached three to four thousand dollars by this time.

Therefore, when buying lottery tickets that cost two yuan each, you would buy at least ten tickets at a time.

Fortunately, the distribution of the winning lottery tickets was quite even.

As advertised, with a 20% chance of winning, basically one out of every five lottery tickets will be a winning ticket.

And so it is true that almost all lottery players can experience the joy of winning.

Every now and then, someone would shout that they had won a big prize, drawing envy and jealousy from the surrounding lottery players.

This was naturally Wu Feng's deliberate arrangement!
As long as you can win, you'll experience plenty of participation and surprises.

Even if the input and output are not proportional, at least you won't get nothing at all.

Compared to the frustration of losing money in a mahjong parlor or underground gambling den, the mood is definitely much better.

Of course, to avoid the possibility of insiders 'cheating', Wu Feng also took many preventative measures, the most important of which was to prohibit lottery sellers and their immediate family members from buying lottery tickets.

In addition, the lottery boxes are delivered directly to the sales points by security personnel, and the opening is supervised to prevent the sales staff from interfering.

These salespeople have no idea which lottery boxes contain the grand prize!

Furthermore, Hung Hing henchmen and employees from their subordinate companies were also present to supervise the operation.

In short, plug as many potential loopholes as possible.

If someone still tries to take advantage of loopholes, the amount is small and the impact is not significant, so Wu Feng will not be too harsh.

But if he takes advantage of people too much, then you can't blame him for being ruthless.

Some things can be handled by Hung Hing; their deterrent power is undeniable.

The lottery sales points were bustling with activity, and the prize redemption area was equally lively.

Over here, there are a large number of Hung Hing gang members dressed in uniform, as well as a large number of police officers maintaining order.

Those small prizes, like toilet paper and soap, and a lot of daily necessities, are fine.

For prizes that are more valuable, worth thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, the prize redemption counter will ask the winner if they need their escort.

These services are all free of charge, and the relevant subsidies will be distributed uniformly after the event ends.

Prizes like motorcycles and bicycles are entirely up to the winners to ride away themselves.

Prizes like televisions, refrigerators, and air conditioners often required escort by the event organizers. In short, lottery sales points and prize redemption areas were packed with people and vehicles, extremely bustling.

In addition to the large number of Hung Hing gang members and police support from the Yau Tsim Mong District Police Station, the organizers also recruited many volunteers from universities to help.

Wu Feng rode in an inconspicuous modified van, constantly wandering around several lottery sales points.

While inspecting the specific situation, they also handled emergency matters.

He was quite surprised when he saw police officers in uniform mingling with lottery buyers at several lottery outlets.

"Boss, what's so surprising!"

The quick-witted henchman beside him said dismissively, "Officers are normal people too. They also want to earn extra wealth, and they have the pressure of supporting their families!"

"It's said that at least 70% of the police officers regularly bet on horse racing!"

"Since it's all just spinach anyway, might as well buy a lottery ticket and try your luck!"

"If you're lucky enough to win the grand prize, it's equivalent to several years' salary!"

"Even if you just happen to buy a home appliance, you'll still make a fortune!"

Wu Feng smiled slightly and didn't say much. This is the current situation in Hong Kong.

"I won! I won the grand prize!"

Just as his modified van was about to leave, a shout of jubilation suddenly erupted from the crowd, instantly igniting the already noisy crowd into a frenzy.

"What? Someone won the grand prize? That's a luxury Audi sedan!"

"An Audi luxury sedan? I've never heard of it before. What country is it from?"

"German luxury cars are on par with Mercedes-Benz, they're just not well-known in Hong Kong!"

"How much is that car worth? Two hundred thousand or three hundred thousand?"

"I heard it costs at least 200,000, definitely not cheap!"

As the lottery players discussed loudly, they instinctively gathered around the lucky winner.

In an instant, the crowd surged and swarmed, a truly astonishing sight.

"Make way, make way, everyone please don't push!"

At this moment, the surrounding security personnel immediately sprang into action, forcefully parting the increasingly crowded crowd while rushing to the side of the lucky winner of the grand prize and surrounding him.

No one proactively inquired about the lucky winner's lottery ticket. Instead, they moved it step by step to the lottery sales point so that the salesperson could help verify its authenticity.

During this time, the number of lottery players who heard the news gathered around, almost completely surrounding several lottery sales points in the area.

They shouted loudly, wanting to show them what a top prize lottery ticket looked like.
As for the reminders from security personnel, police officers, and university student volunteers, very few people listened; they were all excited and overjoyed.

Wu Feng saw this and signaled the driver of the modified van to stop.

He got off the bus immediately and felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the surging crowd in front of him.

Damn, if a stampede happens here, that would be a real disaster.

Fortunately, the Hung Hing Group, responsible for maintaining order at this lottery sales point, brought enough henchmen.

The local police station also has a large number of officers, and thanks to their concerted efforts, the worst-case scenario did not occur.

Meanwhile, the winning lottery ticket had been confirmed, and the lucky winner, surrounded by security personnel, police officers, university student volunteers, and a large crowd of onlookers, made his way to the prize redemption center.

The prize redemption area was also well-prepared. Staff members distributing the prizes and reporters filming nearby were all on high alert, waiting for the lucky winner to claim the grand prize.

Soon, after confirming the validity of the winning lottery ticket and inquiring whether the lucky winner had a driver's license, an Audi sedan parked in the most conspicuous position in the prize redemption area slowly drove away under the watchful eyes of everyone!
