Carnival

The moment Lin Qi announced that bidding slots could be purchased, Richard wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he was stopped by a look from Lin Qi.

This is another part of Lin Qi's income from this plan. How can you make money, make a lot of money, without taking any risks?

There is no love without a reason in this world, and there is no saint like Lin Qi who takes all the risks and leaves the benefits to others. From the beginning, one of his goals was to be in these seats.

Even for people like Richard, their free seats will gradually be canceled in the future. Is it possible to make money without putting in any effort?

Working in a factory is less risky, but it also pays less. Risk and return are definitely proportional; the greater the risk, the higher the return. Of course, sometimes the definition of risk is not just as simple as the increase or decrease of wealth.

The fact that the children won first place in sales commission was something Lin Qi deliberately wanted to show off to others.

Perhaps only Richard understood why the kids were number one in sales: because they had more seats.

Seats represent potential; the more seats a company has, the greater its potential. This is a simple process of quantitative change.

If one out of ten people is willing to buy something, then ten out of a hundred people will be willing to buy something, and twenty out of two hundred people will be willing to buy something. The spending power of twenty people may not necessarily be higher than that of ten people, but it may not necessarily be lower than that of ten people either.

After some people calmed down, they might start to consider the risks and back out. But Lin Qi gave them some hope—as long as they got into the top three, if their share was less than 10,000, Lin Qi would make up the difference to 10,000 for them! This gave these people some other ideas. Even if their share couldn't exceed 10,000, as long as it was higher than others, Lin Qi would make up the difference.

In other words, they spent nine thousand dollars on the auction, and if they can make it into the top three, they will have a profit of one thousand dollars!

This is a very simple calculation, everyone can do it, yes, everyone! This is one of Lin Qi's goals. There are fourteen cities in the entire state, some are larger and some are smaller. If each city has an average of three thousand seats, then fourteen cities would have forty-two thousand seats.

With 42,000 seats and each seat costing five dollars, Lin Qi's weekly income would be around two hundred thousand dollars, and that's just the cost of the seats.

These salespeople are unlikely to resign themselves to fate. As long as someone is making a fuss, Lin Qi's income will increase dramatically. He will include some flashy but impractical and overpriced products in each period.

These products are prepared for these salespeople who have ulterior motives; they are special tools for them to aim for the top three in the region.

With a weekly seat fee of 200,000, that's 800,000 a month. Add to that the actual income and bonuses outside the profit line, these people can provide him with at least 1 million in income every month! Is that all he's planning? No, far from it!

After posing a question, Lin Qi gave them some time to think about it, and then invited everyone to celebrate together with a smile.

Apart from two people who lost their free seats and left, everyone else, including Vera and her two accountants, went with Lin Qi to a rather nice hotel in Sabine City.

A variety of sumptuous and exquisite dishes were laid out on the table one after another. Lin Qi had actually informed the hotel staff in advance that this dinner would be held in the form of a buffet.

They even opened a small Conference Hall specifically for Lin Qi and gave him three songs for free—the hotel had a dedicated band, and after those three songs, there would be a charge, but Lin Qi wasn't stingy with the money; he wanted these people to experience what it meant to be extravagant and decadent! The long tables on both sides were filled with all kinds of food, the band was playing on stage, and a mezzo -Mezzo-soprano singer who was somewhat famous locally sang soothing songs with her captivating voice. Lin Qi had also arranged services from a talent agency.

Just as everyone was enjoying all of this and thought that was all there was to it, Lin Qi showed them things they couldn't normally see.

Models dressed in revealing outfits suddenly appeared on the scene, and the Mezzo-soprano singer left with a smile, replaced by a younger girl singing a popular song.

Lin Qi walked onto the stage, his arms around two scantily clad girls, holding two bottles of champagne. The moment he stood in front of the Mike, he raised the champagne and poured it over the girls' heads and bodies.

Aside from being slightly startled at first, they quickly recovered and even started dancing while being splashed with alcohol, instantly making the atmosphere in the conference room more lively.

Immediately afterwards, fans suddenly started spinning on both sides behind him, and staff kept throwing stacks of banknotes into them. The banknotes spun and flew everywhere, and everyone held their breath in that instant! "Ladies and gentlemen, the party has begun!"

Food, alcohol, wealth, hormones—everyone was immersed in it! After an extremely brief moment of stillness, everyone went wild!...

Lin Qi struggled out from among the girls. This was the first time he had demonstrated how to squander money after making it. Since making money was so easy, these people would soon learn how to do it.

You can't expect someone who adheres to social morality to become an accomplice in your acquisition of wealth, but these people can. They will gradually lose themselves in money and become Lin Qi's money-making tools.

In less than ten minutes, the young models sent by the agencies taught these young people how to enjoy themselves.

Lin Qi escorted the two girls out; one was Vera, and the other was the girl who had come with Vera. "I'm sorry I didn't inform you beforehand..."

He apologized for his behavior, after all, the people inside who had gone mad were indeed a bit unseemly. Vera blushed and said it was okay, and the girl also expressed her understanding.

The girl's gaze towards Lin Qi was somewhat unusual. She had initially thought it was an ordinary job, but it was clear from the current signs that it wasn't.

Afterwards, Lin Qi took the two women to the hotel restaurant for a sumptuous dinner, and then arranged for a car to take them back, as he still needed to clean up the mess later.

Just as Vera got into the car and it started to leave, she suddenly asked Lin Qi a question, "Do Grand Duke... also celebrate like this?" Her face was a little embarrassed, but also a little angry.

Lin Qi nodded. "They'll only get crazier..." he said, then whispered something in Vera's ear. She covered her face and pulled her head back. The two looked at each other for a moment, then Lin Qi said goodbye again, and the car quickly disappeared into the traffic.

When Lin Qi returned to the small conference room, the whole room was filled with a strange smell. Some people were groaning as if they were in great pain, but not so much pain. Some girls' clothes had been blown away and they were kneeling on the ground picking up the banknotes one by one, completely unconcerned about their rather unseemly appearance.

The only thing that seemed out of place here was the children; they were still eating, and some were even putting food into their bags.

When they saw Lin Qi arrive, they were terrified. The children, holding plates of steak, didn't know what to do. Lin Qi smiled, waved to them, and led them to a lounge... no, a VIP room.

When he opened the lounge, it was already occupied, so he led the children to the VIP room.

In the VIP room, he looked at the children, nodded, and asked a question, "Were you sent here by your parents, or did you come from Welfare Home?"

"Some were sent by their parents, but there are more from Orphanage ..." the oldest child in the group answered.

It is actually a minority of parents who send their children to work as Child Labor. Apart from stepparents and families that can't survive, most people wouldn't do this. In the hands of the Newspaper Boss, these children mainly come from various Welfare Home.

Lin Qi nodded again. "If I apply to become your guardian, would you be willing?"

He leaned back and crossed his legs. "You don't need to call me father or dad. I'm just your boss. This way, we can save you money that would otherwise go to the Welfare Home, and we can give you more autonomy. What do you think?"

The older child was somewhat tempted, but he didn't agree immediately. Instead, he cautiously replied, "We need to go back and discuss it with everyone."

Lin Qi nodded repeatedly, "Okay, also have the waiter at the door pack up the food for you. Even if you don't mind getting the food dirty, be careful not to get your bags dirty..."
