Chapter 276: Leave Your Name When Doing Good Deeds (Begging for Monthly Votes at the Start of the Month)

A grand prize has been won at the Mong Kok Garden Street lottery kiosk!

The news spread like a whirlwind, reaching other lottery kiosks in a very short time.

There was also a timely broadcast announcement from the organizers: "Dear guests, dear customers, a grand prize has just been scratched at the Garden Street lottery kiosk, and the winner has already received an Audi sedan!"

Boom!

Almost all the lottery kiosks instantly erupted as if they had exploded.

The lottery players, already full of enthusiasm, were now even more spirited and filled with anticipation.

This was only the first day of the lottery, and someone had already won the grand prize!

If others could have such good luck, why couldn't they?

The lottery players' gazes subconsciously turned toward the nearby prize redemption area, where various prizes were piled up like a mountain.

Especially the Audi sedan in the most prominent position, along with rows of beautiful motorcycles; their eyes and hearts were filled with longing.

With their emotions stirred, they naturally bought lottery tickets even more eagerly.

Wu Feng, who was patrolling everywhere, saw this and was quite satisfied in his heart.

This, naturally, was his arrangement again!

Fifty luxury Audi cars, with five given out every day, constantly stimulated the lottery players' buying sentiment.

It was much like buying lottery tickets in later generations; only big prizes and heavy rewards were the most exciting.

Of course, five of the fifty Audi luxury cars set as grand prizes had already been given away through the lottery; this was a very necessary public relations tactic.

The police stations in various parts of Yau Tsim Mong that had set up lottery kiosks all received a box of two hundred lottery tickets, worth two million Hong Kong Dollars.

The District Government and the District Councilors also each had a box of prize lottery tickets.

As for how they distributed them, that was not something Wu Feng needed to worry about.

As for the higher-level foreigners, they didn't use these methods.

In short, the budget for this aspect of expenditure alone was as high as thirty million!

There was no help for it; the lottery event organized this time had too much momentum and scale.

In the entire Yau Tsim Mong District, there were fifteen lottery kiosks set up alone!

Although the event had been going on for less than half a day, Wu Feng, who was strolling around patrolling, could roughly estimate the turnover for the half-day, and it was definitely an astonishing number.

If nothing else, the wholesale price of the prizes he prepared alone reached five hundred million Hong Kong Dollars!

If all the prepared lottery tickets could be sold, the total value would be an astonishing two point five billion!

Wu Feng was very optimistic about the purchasing power of the Hong Kong Island residents, and the prizes could continue to be increased.

This did not even include those residents who specifically wanted to buy discounted New Year goods!

When formulating the plan earlier, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he naturally understated the amount of prizes; otherwise, how could the lottery event have started so smoothly?

By the time those interested parties and certain business tycoons reacted, the large-scale event Wu Feng had stirred up would probably already be coming to an end.

At that time, even if some people and forces wanted to get involved and get a piece of the pie, they could only sigh in helplessness.

In all likelihood, the Hong Kong British Government would immediately legislate to prevent other forces from imitating it.

Still the same saying: the money in the pockets of Hong Kong Island residents was the Hong Kong British Government's own property, and they would absolutely not allow other forces to easily lay a finger on it.

Wu Feng making such a big move actually involved a certain amount of risk.

But fortunately, the allies tied to the same boat through interests were no pushovers; at the very least, he could easily retreat unscathed this time, and that was enough.

The five hundred million worth of prizes, despite being at the lowest wholesale price, involved quite a few suppliers, and they were all very powerful ones.

The Yau Tsim Mong District Government and District Councilors who were pulled in and received many benefits, as well as the numerous police officers from the police stations and some higher-level foreigners, were all part of the interest alliance.

Ahem, and there were also the university student volunteers; that was a group that could not be ignored!

In short, through phone contact, the lottery kiosks managed by Jiang Tiansheng and Han Bin were also packed with people and bustling with activity; clearly, the momentum was no worse than the areas Wu Feng was responsible for.

During this period, the entire Hung Hing was operating again!

Just to maintain order at the lottery kiosks, one powerful veteran member of the society after another personally stepped forward, and some even sat in command on-site.

As for the numerous branch Spokespersons, they were also sitting in their branches, remotely directing the Underlings in their territories to maintain order.

Up to now, there had been no obvious mistakes or omissions; it was clear they had done quite well.

……

On the other side, the Hung Hing Underlings previously responsible for delivering colorful flyers to the public housing estates, such as Chen Haonan and Shanjie and others, had also arrived early at the familiar public housing estates by minibus.

Here, a group of aunties and older women had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as the row of three minibuses stopped, Chen Haonan and Shanjie and the others had just appeared when they were crowded by a group of familiar aunties and older women.

"Nan Zai, this time for buying New Year goods, it's all thanks to you!"

Grandma Jin sat next to Chen Haonan, her wrinkled old face full of joy.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. It just so happens that the company has business in this area; rather than letting others benefit, it's better to let the neighbors in the street benefit!"

Chen Haonan said modestly: "Everyone sit tight, the motorcade is about to set off!"

The group of aunties and older women didn't stop even after getting on the bus, chattering endlessly; only after hearing Chen Haonan's greeting did they restrain themselves somewhat, but their faces were full of anticipation.

Soon, the three minibuses took them to the largest vegetable market nearby.

"Scarface Rong, I've brought the customers, don't you try any tricks, kid!"

Chen Haonan strode to a very large pork stall and shouted at the tall, burly stall owner with a face full of flesh: "This matter is personally overseen by several Big Brothers of the society; the consequences will be quite serious!"

"Relax, relax, I, Scarface Rong, am still very trustworthy!"

The pork stall owner spoke very generously, his gaze toward the group of aunties and older women filled with the color of Hong Kong Dollars.

"Boss, Nan Zai has already said it, is the pork here thirty percent off?"

"That's right, all customers brought by Brother Nan get thirty percent off!"

"That's good, give me ten catties of hind leg meat, and another three catties of pig trotters!"

"I want five catties of tenderloin, and another five catties of pork ribs, the best kind!"

"..."

In an instant, business at the pork stall became booming; the thousand catties of pork the stall owner had prepared early on were snapped up in just a short time.

Such a lively scene even attracted quite a few regular customers to follow suit and make purchases.

It was just that they didn't have such good luck to enjoy the thirty-percent-off discount.

"On what grounds can those aunties get a thirty-percent-off discount, while we don't have such an offer?"

Immediately, a customer became unhappy and shouted directly: "If you don't give a reasonable explanation, don't bother doing business today; I'll ruin it all for you!"

"Right, right, right, give us a reasonable explanation, otherwise we aren't leaving. Let's see how you can do business normally; how can there be such discriminatory treatment?"

"Exactly, why can't we enjoy the thirty-percent-off discount?"

"..."

Bang!

The pork stall owner was clearly not a person with a good temper; he slammed a cleaver onto the chopping board, giving the group of customers who were shouting loudly a fright, and their voices immediately quieted down.

"What are you all doing?"

The stall owner revealed the well-developed muscles on his thick arms and said irritably: "Those aunties being able to get a discount is something that was agreed upon in advance!"

"This is Hung Hing running an event, a discount strategy for these aunties to purchase New Year goods!"

"See that handsome guy in charge of maintaining order? He is a newly promoted Red Pole of Hung Hing in Causeway Bay!"

"If it hadn't been discussed in advance, would I have given up such a large profit?"

"At thirty percent off, a thousand catties of pork means several thousand in revenue!"

"You aren't brought here by Hung Hing brothers, so why should you want to take advantage?"

These words left the customers looking at each other in dismay, feeling confused and unable to make heads or tails of it for a moment.

Is Hung Hing trying to do charity, have they turned over a new leaf?

Chen Haonan and Shanjie, however, paid no attention to these ripples and chaos.

At this moment, they were leading the neighborhood residents who had followed them to storm the nearby fresh fish shop.

Here, naturally, it had also been discussed in advance; the fresh fish purchased by the aunties was also thirty percent off!

Then, it was the candy specialty store, the pastry shop, and the fruit stalls, among other places.

They were all uniformly priced at thirty percent off, causing the aunties who followed along to go on a crazy shopping spree.

Many Hung Hing Underlings like Chen Haonan and his brothers were doing this kind of thing at the moment.

They led familiar neighborhood residents to purchase large quantities of New Year goods at vegetable markets and various shops, all at thirty percent off, with a quite significant profit concession.

Such 'charity' activities were not only filmed and recorded by reporters throughout, but also had related reports.

Since they had done a good deed, they had to promote it well.

There was no need to hide it; it wasn't anything shameful.

Of course, to do such an activity well, relying on Hung Hing alone was far from enough.

The vegetable markets in Hong Kong had almost all fallen under the control of major triads, which could be considered one of the triads' sources of income, and they could also arrange for many Underlings to do legitimate business.

It just so happened that previously, including Tung Sing, Wo Shing, a certain branch of the 14K, as well as the Shui Fong and Luen Ying, these first-rate triads all owed Hung Hing a big favor.

With Hung Hing asking them to cooperate a little, these triads naturally wouldn't refuse to give face.

Things went quite smoothly, and no unexpected changes occurred.

Thinking about it, one knew it was unlikely!

If things ordered by a triad Big Brother couldn't be done honestly and well, that would be losing face all the way to Hung Hing; could the triad Big Brother remain indifferent?

It wasn't a major matter involving vital interests; if they didn't even give this little bit of face, it would really be unjustifiable, and they still had requests for Hung Hing.

As for things like candy and pastries, finding the source manufacturers directly was quite appropriate for cooperation.

In this process, Wu Feng had smuggled in quite a lot of private goods.

Many famous related products from the Mainland were smuggled into the procurement sequence.

As for whether they could be remembered, that would depend on the quality of the products themselves.
