On the third day of the event, sales reached 4.5 million yuan, and the electronics mall's sales also hit 150,000 yuan.
Adding the 7.6 million yuan from the previous two days, the event's total sales for three days exceeded 12.1 million yuan!
Before the Lantern Festival, Fang Bai's personal wealth was approximately 2.2 million yuan.
His family's disposable funds were nearly three million yuan, but most of it was loans, and a portion was member top-up balances.
Now, Fang Bai's personal wealth has surged to 9.6 million yuan!
He is only 400,000 yuan away from a mid-level upgrade!
The three-day event increased his wealth by more than seven million yuan.
Of course, this was before paying taxes, employee salaries, and other expenses.
Not only did his wealth surge, but his connections also increased by 7: County Leader Gu Wen (+2), Executive Deputy County Leader (+1), Li Bo (+1), County Secretary (+1), Luo Gang (+1), and Jin City Collotype Printing Factory Director Mo Junkang (+1).
The total number of connections reached 27.
This was also the fastest period of connection growth, and he was still 13 connections away from the next upgrade of the Fang Bai's Middle Finger Golden Finger.
Through this investment and event, Fang Bai completely established his connections in the county, so he wouldn't have to worry too much about his family's affairs after he went to university.
Currently, Xinghai Company plans to make a large investment, and the County Leader expects Fang Bai to create the nation's first large-scale comprehensive plaza, which would bring them prestige.
It was precisely for this reason that the scratch-off event could proceed so smoothly.
Otherwise, Fang Bai would not have dared to organize a scratch-off event; he wouldn't have been able to get the approval.
After the event, anyone wanting to cause trouble for Fang Bai's family would have to consider their background; they were not to be trifled with.
Tomorrow or the day after, Fang Bai plans to visit some connections and give them some electronics scratch-off tickets.
They wouldn't dare accept car and motorcycle scratch-off tickets, but some electronics scratch-off tickets were fine; Fang Bai specifically printed some tickets for gifting.
Organizing such an event for gifting allowed him to give gifts openly, and people dared to accept them openly; with the entire city holding the event, everyone knew about it, and buying and winning scratch-off tickets could withstand scrutiny.
It was another matter if someone was too principled to accept the tickets, but Fang Bai still had to fulfill his social obligations; simply delivering the gift meant the favor was extended.
After this event, when he applied for bank loans again, it was estimated that not only Bank G but also other banks would want Xinghai Company to take out loans.
Currently, the banks hadn't reacted yet, but in a few days, they would likely come knocking on Fang Bai's door to seek cooperation.
Since the first day, when 3.2 million yuan entered Bank G on Nanxi Road, President Ye was shocked.
During the event on the second day, President Ye personally sent several staff members to count the money and build a good relationship with Fang Bai; the 5 million yuan bank loan discussed previously was no longer an issue, and he would find a way to apply to the Wen City Head Office for an increased loan amount.
Ye Fan saw clearly that as long as Fang Bai prospered, by securing this major client, he wouldn't have to worry about performance and would have a chance for promotion.
Now, Fang Bai had not only established connections with the County Leader, industrial and commercial departments, and public security departments, but also secured major banks, progressing step by step; although this recent period affected Fang Bai's college entrance exam review, it was nothing.
His current grades were already sufficient to get into a key university in Shanghai, though still a bit far from the scores for Jiao Tong University and Fudan University; however, he still had several months, which was enough for him to push for high scores.
After this event, he would pause the renovation of televisions and dedicate more time to his college entrance exam preparation.
Additionally, Fang Bai had another method for getting high scores.
Currently, he was still 400,000 yuan short of wealth, and he was eager to see what it would be like when the Fang Bai's Middle Finger Golden Finger upgraded to Level 4.
That night, he had some trouble sleeping.
The surge in wealth over these three days made him feel light-headed, and his parents felt the same.
It wasn't just Fang Bai's family; especially the four lucky winners of the car grand prize had very complex feelings.
Two special prizes were awarded today; one winner knew how to drive, and unlike the others, this lucky person was a small boss in his forties who had spent ten thousand yuan, originally intending to buy a motorcycle.
He squatted under a tree, scratching tickets one by one, not caring if the surrounding crowd watched.
The prizes he scratched earlier were small, with the biggest being a fourth-prize bicycle.
"Damn it, I've scratched over four thousand tickets, and the biggest prize is just a bicycle!"
"What's the use of a bunch of eighth and ninth prizes?!"
"I bought ten thousand yuan worth of tickets, at least give me a motorcycle, this is my motorcycle money."
He himself was scratching until his eyes were red, not knowing how long he had been scratching, certainly more than two hours; there were many discarded tickets under the tree, and the winning tickets were stuffed into his bag, which was full, but it was just a pile of small prizes.
As a result, his entire mindset somewhat collapsed, and he started shouting hysterically; this was his hard-earned money from a year of work.
The surrounding crowd, who had been watching him scratch, couldn't help but mock him; how foolish he must be, having scratched nearly ten thousand yuan worth of tickets, and the biggest prize was only a bicycle.
Only after he shouted did the surrounding crowd realize that he had used his motorcycle money to buy scratch-off tickets.
It was just bad luck; a motorcycle turned into a bicycle?
The small boss looked at the dozens of tickets still in his hand and almost threw them away, not wanting to scratch anymore.
However, he suddenly remembered that his business also had its ups and downs, so he calmed himself down and continued scratching.
Suddenly, he saw the words "Special Prize ★ Car" on a ticket; he was about to throw it away but quickly picked it up and looked at it carefully.
He rubbed his eyes, and after he saw the words clearly, he stood up, jumped wildly, and shouted loudly:
"I won, I won, I won the special prize!"
"God has eyes, I almost threw the ticket away!"
The small boss had no interest in scratching the remaining tickets; he stuffed them into his bag and went to claim his prize first.
The surrounding crowd really couldn't believe it; a motorcycle turned into a car?
They thought it was a joke, as they hadn't seen his ticket.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, sure enough, the small boss went on stage to give his acceptance speech, saying, "Today is the most dramatic day of my life. I bought five thousand tickets and only scratched the special prize at the very end, and I almost threw the ticket away.
I must say, I am very lucky; I went through many twists and turns, just like my life has been.
Although I won the special prize, I hope everyone doesn't act impulsively like me.
What if you don't win?
I think the probability of not winning is very high.
Of course, although I advise everyone this way, I am very grateful to the organizers for giving me a santana car. I hope everyone buys more tickets, but don't be too impulsive."
After the small boss finished his acceptance speech and left the stage, he planned to drive the car home first and then bring it back tomorrow to complete the paperwork.
The three hosts explained every day that the winning cars needed a few days for paperwork and license plates; if someone could drive, they could certainly drive it away, but it would affect the license plate process. They hoped to handle everything together, and Xinghai Shopping Mall was right there, so they wouldn't run away or deceive anyone, especially since there were notaries present.
This explanation finally enlightened some skeptical people; so that's how it was, they thought they couldn't drive it away.
After more than ten minutes, the winning small boss registered and personally drove the car away, with the organizers sending staff to clear the way for the car to exit.
The small boss planned to drive home for a spin, then bring his family back to redeem all the unredeemed tickets; if the tickets weren't winners, some might expire tomorrow, as the scratch-off background color was different from yesterday's.
Although everyone heard the small boss who just won the special prize advise them not to be impulsive, who would believe him? He himself won a car, yet he advised people not to buy so many; only a fool would listen to him. This small boss would definitely buy more secretly.
This small boss winning the special prize instantly ignited the passion of the crowd, making countless people go crazy.
As a result, people who had decided not to buy anymore continued to dig into their pockets and scratch tickets until they ran out of money and then realized: he was right!
Countless Wen City residents who participated in the scratch-off event were still thinking about the lively scene of the daytime lottery event as they slept that night, unable to forget it.
Another lucky winner of the special prize today, who lived in the countryside and had average economic conditions, excitedly completed the procedures, then bought a large bundle of firecrackers to set off at home, burned incense and prayed to Buddha, and the whole family had a big meal to celebrate that night, filling the house with joy; after the car arrived, he even planned to invite relatives and friends for a feast.
