Chapter 0007: Money-Making Plan
Your Highness, I must admit that this lottery called "Double Color Ball" is indeed far more powerful than those currently sold on the market, completely capable of overshadowing them. Once it starts selling, it is sure to be extremely popular. Karl also wore an excited expression. He is only two years older than Qintian and does not possess the emotional control of those old foxes.
The lottery that Qin Tian decided to sell was entirely modeled after the later version of the Double Chromosphere game. With thirty-three red balls and sixteen blue balls, if one were to draw six red balls and one blue ball, it would constitute the first prize, with a jackpot reaching five million marks
Qin Tian left the palace with only a simple luggage, of course, he did not forget the most important bankbook. Karl von Jonalait also chose to leave with Qin Tian. Although Qin Tian's plan seemed fanciful, Karl instinctively believed that Qin Tian would surely succeed.
Upon arriving in Berlin, Qin Tian and Karl checked into a luxury hotel. Although it cost a considerable amount, once Qin Tian's money-making plan succeeds, this will hardly be a concern.
"Karl, this is my proposal, take a look at it." Qin Tian took out a few sheets of paper from his suitcase and handed them to Karl
Even though Qin Tian is a prince of the German Empire, he is ultimately just a prince who is not favored by Wilhelm II. Once the German lottery company established by Qin Tian becomes a commercial success and generates substantial profits, it will inevitably arouse the envy of other capitalists. At that time, they will surely resort to various means to plunder Qin Tian's wealth
The German royal family possesses its own fiefs and various industries. These fiefs and industries generate substantial income each year. The royal family members receive a fixed income from this. As a prince of the German Empire, Qin Tian certainly ranks low in terms of inheritance rights. However, his annual income is considerable. Over the years, he has accumulated a significant amount of savings. The figure on his bankbook prominently shows five million marks. This sum will serve as Qin Tian's startup capital.

When Qin Tian and Karl returned to Potsdam, it was already evening. However, Qin Tian did not spend the night in the palace, but instead moved out of the palace at the first opportunity. He knew that the agreement he had reached with Dean Ludwig Berkenhagen would soon be known to Wilhelm II. In fact, it might have already been known to Wilhelm II, so to avoid any prolonged complications, it was better to leave early.
The success of the Double Color Ball lottery is beyond doubt. Now, what lies before Qin Tian is how to preserve this gold mine.
Your Highness, what exactly do you intend to do? Earning at least 40 million marks over the past four years is no small amount!" Karl expressed his concerns. In the hotel room, Karl voiced his doubts.
Indeed, among the many princes in the palace, Qin Tian is considered the most unpretentious. This has made Karl, who is of a similar age, very willing to spend time with Qin Tian. Even though Qin Tian does not stand out among the numerous princes, he still chose to serve Qin Tian for this reason
From the popularity of the Double Chromosphere lottery in Huaxia, Qin Tian has no doubt that once this lottery is launched, it will undoubtedly create a sensation throughout Germany and even all of Europe. The wealth generated from it will also be an astronomical figure. Of course, Qin Tian plans to first sell it within Germany, and only after establishing a solid foothold will he promote it to other countries, striving to earn enough funds before the outbreak of war
Qin Tian and Karl went directly to Berlin. If they want to earn enough money, they must go to a big city
It seemed that Carl was also influenced by Qin Tian
Qin Tian nodded in satisfaction. If the Double Color Ball lottery could indeed sell explosively in Germany, without saying much, as long as they could earn one million marks per issue, then with three issues a week, that would amount to one hundred fifty-six issues a year, thus allowing them to earn at least two hundred million marks. Building a battleship only requires several tens of millions of marks. Their annual profit would be sufficient to construct several battleships.
Although there were only a few sheets of paper, Karl took a full half hour to read through them. As the son of the emperor's steward, Karl received a good education from a young age and is very intelligent. While reviewing this plan, he was also contemplating the likelihood of its success
During this period, the term "lottery" was not something new. In Germany and throughout Europe, there were many lotteries being sold in various countries. However, after conducting an investigation, Qin Tian discovered that the prizes for lotteries during this time were not substantial, and the gameplay was quite simple and rudimentary. Although there were many purchasers, the market had not truly developed.
Of course, Your Highness, we will definitely succeed. Germany has more than 60 million people, and millions participate in the lottery. Since the introduction of the Double Color Ball, we can even expand this market further. Although the lottery industry is heavily taxed, after deducting taxes and costs, we will certainly be able to make a substantial profit
This proposal primarily outlines the establishment of a company named Deutsche Lottery, which aims to generate profits through the sale of welfare lottery tickets
Qin Tian nodded. The plunder and expansion of capital are inherently bloody. Once there are sufficient profits, those greedy individuals will inevitably go mad. Therefore, Qin Tian must find a way to protect his wealth. He regards lottery sales as an important source of income. Many of his future ventures will rely on lottery sales to obtain substantial funds. Otherwise, everything will be mere talk.

Qin Tian chose the Double Color Ball lottery because it offers large jackpots and numerous smaller prizes. As long as one selects a blue ball, they can win a prize. For lottery players, such a lottery is undoubtedly worth purchasing and pursuing
However, Your Highness, if the sales truly become explosive, it is likely to attract the covetousness of others
"Karl, have you truly made up your mind to work with me? There is a significant possibility that we may fail. If we do fail, I need not elaborate on the consequences; you must already be aware of them." Qin Tian did not respond immediately, but instead looked calmly at Karl, waiting for his answer.
"Alright, Karl. Since you have such faith in me, I will not let you down. I believe that before long, we will astonish the entire German business community and high society," Qin Tian said with great confidence.
Karl, do you also believe that we can succeed
Of course, Your Highness. You are my best friend, and I believe you will surely succeed. Carl replied without a moment's hesitation
