"This can't be how air transportation works... How much does this cost?"
"If I remember correctly, Jude Wang only chartered fifty helicopters last time when they were looking for someone."
Looking up again, the sky was hazy. The intense sun was blocked by the dense bodies of the helicopters, turning the sky overcast.
"At least two hundred..."
Are they crazy?
The cost of running two hundred helicopters for an hour was... six million yuan.
Such a high transportation fee, and Jude Wang was only using it to transport food ingredients?
The camera lenses of mobile phones were all turned on. The voices of the passengers on the ground trembled. "Jude Wang is up to something big again."
"Two hundred planes! Guess what Jude Wang is using them for? To transport food ingredients! If this trip costs ten million yuan, just the transportation fee is six million. What a big spender!"
"I'm here at Jude Wang to see the world again. They spent six million to charter two hundred planes just to transport fresh food for the customers' meals!"
"The value of Jude Wang is still rising!"
The employee who came to attract customers was stunned.
What was going on?
The local procurement channels in the city had been blocked. The cost of cross - city procurement couldn't be earned back in just two days of business.
Plus the round - trip cost of these helicopters in the sky, how could it possibly be just six million yuan?
He swallowed hard.
Two hundred helicopters in total, flying all the way here from elsewhere just to transport some fresh food ingredients!
Was Jude Wang driven crazy and forced to swallow their pride and fight their way out regardless, or was the elaborate siege by Yaoyang nothing but a trifle to them?
The man's hand holding the restaurant's promotional flag trembled. The helicopters in the sky were like a swarm of bees preparing to fight back. But this wasn't a war of tiny insects. It was the first counter - attack thrown by Miss Zhu of Jude Wang, just by swiping her magnetic card, against the all - powerful Yaoyang.
Was it a competition of who could spend more money?
Then let's have a competition!
"Hey, you over there. Didn't you say that if Jude Wang couldn't accommodate the customers, you'd eat shit while standing on your head? When are you going to do it?"
"Ugh, I can't stand those who belittle others when they can't achieve their goals. Jude Wang will actively guide the customers they can't accommodate to other businesses in Haicheng, so that everyone in Haicheng can make a profit. But they, they just look down on others. What a bunch of villains!"
"When they say the name 'Jude Wang', it's like an insult. They can't even compare with Jude Wang in terms of vision. They just belittled Jude Wang's ability to handle a large number of customers, and then Jude Wang chartered two hundred planes to transport food ingredients. I'm just asking, does it hurt your face?"
It hurt!
It hurt so much.
The indignant scolding from the people around made him blush and his neck thick. He was so embarrassed that he had nowhere to hide.
"What's so great about chartering two hundred helicopters? Jude Wang is under a full - scale siege. How much money can their boss have to waste on all the enterprises in the city?"
"Jude Wang is about to go under!"
"Really?"
A male voice interrupted. Everyone turned their heads and then let out exclamations.
Behind Song Ya.
There was the familiar convoy of cash - transporting trucks!
The armed trucks were lined up neatly, like a long black dragon.
One, three, five, eight, a total of ten trucks!
Twice as many as the previous lottery event!
The tourists who had heard of Jude Wang's grand lottery held their breaths at the same time.
Was it what they were thinking?
Was Jude Wang going to hold another lottery?
The young man stood in front of the steel dragon. "We don't know that Jude Wang is about to go under. How come?"
The cash - transporting trucks stopped. The familiar process of closing the windows, hanging the huge banners, moving the tables, and setting up the money - counting machines was repeated.
Everyone's hearts started beating violently.
Here it comes.
No one in Haicheng could be unaware of what Jude Wang was about to do.
That man was completely stunned when he saw the special police evacuating the crowd, the doors of the cash - transporting trucks opening, and the neatly stacked mountains of money inside.
One, one billion?
The man was in a daze. Song Ya coldly withdrew his gaze and ignored him completely.
"Everyone, today Jude Wang has indeed experienced some troubles due to the manipulation of some people with ulterior motives. But the situation has been resolved, so there's no need for you to worry. As I've said before, we welcome you all who have traveled thousands of miles to Haicheng. We sincerely welcome you. Now, we've specially set aside one billion yuan as lottery prize money to give back to everyone. We hope you'll have a great time in Haicheng!"
After his words, the billboard was erected. The words "One - billion - yuan lottery" were especially eye - catching.
There were still seven prize levels including the grand prize.
But the number of winners for each prize level was directly doubled. The number of grand - prize winners with one - million - yuan prizes increased to six. There were twelve first - prize winners with five - hundred - thousand - yuan prizes, and the number of second - prize winners with one - hundred - thousand - yuan prizes doubled from forty to eighty!
What was most shocking was that the number of one - thousand - yuan consolation prizes directly expanded to two hundred thousand!
That meant as long as you participated in this lottery, you were guaranteed to win one thousand yuan!
The crowd erupted in an uproar.
"Five hundred million last time, and now one billion. How much money does Jude Wang plan to spend on these activities?"
"My friend calculated that all the publicity, manpower, discounts, and lotteries of Jude Wang in the past three days cost at least two billion yuan! Maybe even three billion!"
"Three billion? Then, adding today's one billion, Jude Wang has spent four billion yuan in just four days!"
"No, it's more than four billion. Today, it's full - amount prize money, which means Jude Wang has already paid 250 million yuan in taxes. It's not one billion, but 1.25 billion!"
There was another commotion.
Someone was so shocked that they screamed. "1.25 billion. Did they spend 4.2 billion in three days?"
"You're underestimating it. The food ingredients transported today and the discount activities announced by Jude Wang are all real money!"
Buzz!
People's minds were in a daze from all the shocks.
Who on earth was Miss Zhu of Jude Wang? She could casually throw out tens of millions or even billions of funds.
Didn't she feel any pain?
Amid the shock, Song Ya announced the new lottery rules. "You can get lottery chances based on your consumption records. But there are two things to note. First, only today's consumption records count. Second, consumption in the following enterprises does not qualify for the lottery."
The notice board was erected, and a row of enterprise trademarks and names appeared. The tourists below immediately checked their consumption records.
Someone immediately pointed out. "Hey, aren't these the enterprises where the employees who came to attract customers work?"
That man immediately looked and indeed found his company's name on the list of enterprises not eligible for the lottery.
Song Ya said, "Jude Wang is particularly disdainful of the behavior of some enterprises that only focus on immediate interests and ignore the overall situation. We're not willing to collude with them, so we've excluded them from the lottery list. Except for the above enterprises, consumption in other stores in Haicheng is valid."
After his words, the tourists who hadn't understood at first finally got it.
It turned out that the so - called people with ulterior motives that Jude Wang mentioned at the beginning were you guys!
