Chapter 211 Black Market Trading Center
Chapter 211 Black Market Trading Center
Zhong Yi was troubled by how to establish effective foreign trade channels.
What is certain is that the trade model combined with gold coins and souls can bring considerable additional benefits, but the situation in the monster world is too chaotic.
Honesty is meaningless, only force is the key to solving problems.
If you don’t show deterrence, no matter how honest you are, you will be robbed.
On the contrary, if you have enough strength, you don’t need to trade at all. It’s better to just rob for higher profits.
Therefore, trade must be conducted in a “using the weak to deter the strong” manner.
Only the weak need to trade; the strong have always used force to drain the pond to catch all the fish.
And the monster world has endless fish to fish.
If there is military support from the Temple Guild behind them, the small tribes in the sea will have nothing to fear.
The united battle group that emerged from the Novice Village simply crushed the small tribes in the nearby sea areas.
But the God King obviously would not pay any attention to him.
He is just an ordinary player whose main soul level is 42, and behind him is a group of fishing party players who post pictures and brag crazily every day.
If you ask them which areas in the sea are good for catching big fish, they are all experts and have the most detailed sea fishing maps among the player camp.
He is particularly good at making fishing rods, choosing fishing lines, and using baits... He has contributed a huge amount of spiritual fish ingredients to the player army, and is also the main supplier of various spiritual foods that spiritual chef players can make.
But let them fight.
Only when a large number of players gather together can they go up and do some work. The combat effectiveness is indeed at the bottom among all the gameplay styles.
Although there are powerful players among the fishing party, strength is a key factor if you want to fish for powerful marine creatures.
But this type of players is a minority in their group.
It is unrealistic to expect to gain safe haven from the fishing gangs.
As for other player groups, no guild would pay attention to them unless they offered sufficiently attractive benefits.
Suddenly having a target, fishing suddenly became boring.
After collecting the club, Zhong Yi sat on a rattan chair and looked at the sea, lost in thought.
Think about how to establish a trading system with gold coin soul as the core.
After a long time, he couldn't figure it out and decided to post on the forum to seek help from netizens.
Calling up the forum interface, he spent half an hour editing and posted his ideas on the forum in the form of a post.
[Everyone, come in and discuss how to maximize the benefits of gold souls. 】
OP: I need to drink milk in the middle of the night.
Contents:
After the gold coin soul appeared, I always felt that this soul was very powerful.
But I can't think of a reasonable application method.
There is only one core problem: we cannot use the peaceful and stable trade model in reality to view the situation in the monster world.
An extra 8% profit may seem like a lot, but in reality it may not be as high as hunting output.
Unless you can establish long-term and stable trade connections with various ethnic groups in the sea area, you can achieve continuous growth in wealth through trade income + wealth income from gold coins and souls.
The future development model will become to establish trade with more races and obtain more additional wealth benefits.
This is essentially a growth path as well.
The increase in trading partners can be viewed as the expansion of territory, and future wealth will inevitably increase.
In the future, perhaps a "merchant flow" gameplay will be formed.
But if you want to be a businessman, you need military protection.
In a world of monsters where the strong prey on the weak, it is better to rob than to trade.
The benefits of plundering a group of people are far greater than those of doing business.
Players have countless forces to plunder, so there is no need to make profits through business.
From a global perspective, doing business has become a very stupid growth model, only suitable for players who are not strong enough but want to make a lot of money.
So the question is back to the starting point. How can players who are not strong enough form a military deterrent against foreign races?
I want to ask you guys, is there any solution to the problem?
Comment area:
Invincible Hot Wheels: It is definitely impossible to play the game with a systematic business model, just like what the original poster described in the post, if you have the strength, just go and rob, and if you don’t have the strength, you can’t establish stable trade relations. Instead, you can refer to the NPC model that is prevalent in other games and become a "mysterious merchant" wandering around the islands in the sea, and trade with the ethnic groups on the islands through occasional refreshes.
Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms: The Mysterious Merchant gameplay requires a huge investment. Thirty thousand sacrificial powers are only the starting capital for purchasing life souls. Purchasing goods also costs money. Assuming that the goods are sold at cost price, you can earn an additional 8% profit by selling goods worth ten thousand sacrificial powers to earn 800 points of sacrificial powers. You must prepare at least tens of thousands of sacrificial powers as starting capital to purchase goods to be sold to aliens, so the comprehensive starting capital must be at least fifty thousand or more... The point is, aliens may not necessarily buy your goods.
A pillar supporting the sky: In addition to the initial capital, you also have to invest a huge time cost. Sea voyages take time, which can take hours or even days. Since you have chosen to become a mysterious merchant, you must have a high-quality vehicle to improve your travel efficiency. This is another investment. The time it takes to travel back and forth between the major sea areas is enough for hunters to earn hundreds or even thousands of sacrifices. Therefore, the mysterious merchant mode is too difficult to start, and it is all about spending money. It is not as stable as hunting.
Happy Intestines: I have a plan. I will take in the strange butterfly and gain the ability to jump across space. This way I can save a lot of time on the road and travel back and forth between the major islands to make money crazily. My income will be huge every day (funny.jpg)
Why did the unfilial son hit me: I also thought of an extra cost. When you do business, you need to expand your space and luggage, which is also a considerable expense... The author of the post should set up a communication group. I am also very interested in the merchant flow of gameplay. Let's brainstorm and find a solution.
……
Forum players gave a lot of ideas.
But most of them are unreliable.
A player suggested setting up a stall to sell grilled fish.
According to the normal selling price, the price of an ordinary spiritual grilled fish is between 20 and 90 points of sacrificial power.
Based on the average price of 55 points of sacrificial power, if 100 grilled fish are sold every day, 440 points of additional income can be earned every day.
It takes too long to recover the cost and it also requires a lot of time investment, so it is better to go fishing leisurely in the sea.
Zhong Yi felt that the only reliable suggestion on the forum was the mysterious merchant gameplay.
But this gameplay also has an unsolvable problem: the efficiency of sea navigation is too low.
It takes a lot of time, and the profits from selling goods are very unstable.
According to normal logic, as the principal grows, the profits from each trade will also continue to grow.
The profits created by trade with a principal of 10,000 sacrificial power and a principal of 100,000 sacrificial power are obviously different.
But this is just an idealized business model.
Although Monster World is a game, unlike the products in simulation business games, every sale can be sold in full.
For example, if you carry 1 sacrificial power to an alien island, the small tribe on the island may only need goods worth sacrificial power, and no other goods.
This means that the benefits of long journeys are not stable.
Increased wealth does not necessarily lead to higher returns.
Because there is a difference between market demand and player supply.
It is far less stable than the income from hunting.
Unable to think of a solution to the problem, Zhong Yi decided to form a business group according to the ideas of the forum players and brainstorm to find a solution.
After setting up the group chat, he sent invitations to players who had ideas in the post.
Soon, dozens of players joined the chat group.
Zhong Yi also decided to embark on his first trading journey.
He reluctantly spent the 20 sacrifice powers he had worked so hard to save to purchase the "gold coin" soul. After decomposing the force soul in the third star vein slot, he upgraded the gold coin soul to level .
Additional benefit increased from 8% to 12%.
With 7623 points of sacrifice power left, he decided to set off now and become a mysterious businessman.
After calling up the map function and zooming in on the sea scene where he was, he chose to sail southwest.
There is an island called "Night Sky Island" occupied by aliens.
After the 4-hour voyage, the boat approached the coast and turned into pixel light spots covering Zhong Yi, forming a set of black light armor.
Jump onto the shore and look up.
Before my eyes was a lush forest of bone trees.
Tall and straight bone trees are arranged in an orderly manner, and their white leaves rustle in the breeze.
Walking along the beach into the island, you will see colorful shells scattered on the sand.
Just as I was about to enter the jungle, I saw a figure running towards me at an extremely fast speed, and a cold light appeared before my eyes.
With the rising energy, Zhong Yi suddenly threw a punch at the attacking figure.
The strong energy condensed into a fist shadow in the air, knocking the attacking figure back with one punch, and the figure crashed into a bone tree and slid down.
"Ahem..."
Zhong Yi saw the approaching figure clearly.
The other person was about 1.5 meters tall, holding a spear made of polished bones, and his body was covered with symbols painted with unknown paint.
At this moment he was staring at him viciously.
The parsing capability is turned on at this time.
[Night Sky Warrior: Night Wolf]:
Hunting Level: Level 29
Target introduction: A new generation of warriors from the Night Sky Clan, currently on duty around the island.
……
"My friend, please don't do anything. I have no ill intentions."
Thinking that he was here to do business, Zhong Yi decisively dispersed the aura surrounding his body and raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions.
What he said was translated through the Challenger system and understood directly by Night Wolf.
However, Night Wolf raised his head with a vigilant look, crouching slightly, as if he would spring up at any time and attack him again.
"I advise you to stop making trouble. If I really wanted to kill you, you would have died long ago."
Seeing that Yelang still had the desire to fight, Zhong Yi couldn't help but complain.
"What is your purpose in coming to my Night Sky Clan island?"
"Business."
"Business?"
"Yes, I want to ask what goods your tribe needs. I have a way to bring them to you."
When Night Wolf heard this, he looked puzzled and said:
"Gift?"
"Take me to meet your elders. I'm afraid your pig brain won't understand. I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you." Zhong Yi couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"You insulted me." Yelang's face turned red.
"Take me to see your elders quickly. If you keep talking nonsense, I will kill you." Zhong Yi said viciously and threw a punch to the right.
The released vital energy and soul smashed a bone tree in half.
"Okay." Seeing this, Night Wolf nodded vigorously.
This made Zhong Yi completely convinced.
This is indeed a monster world. A kind tone cannot solve the problem. Fists are the core of negotiations.
Soon, Zhong Yi followed Night Wolf to the Night Sky Clan’s territory.
What comes into view is a majestic white waterfall.
A huge curtain of water roared down from a height of a hundred meters, hitting the rugged rocks and splashing layers of white water.
The Night Sky Tribe villages are scattered around the waterfalls. The architectural style is simple and the houses are mostly built with logs and stones.
The nearby walls are covered with strange symbols, and statues painted in various colors stand along the way.
As soon as he entered the Night Sky Clan’s territory, Zhong Yi was surrounded by a group of Night Sky Clan warriors.
After analyzing and scanning, he found that the average hunting level of these Night Sky Clan warriors was around 40. If a fight really came, he would surely die.
The next negotiations will depend on words.
His fists are no longer effective.
At this time, the Night Sky Clan warriors retreated to the sides, and a figure with a cane walked towards him.
After analyzing and scanning, Zhong Yi found out that the other party was the leader of the Night Sky Clan and the person he would negotiate with next.
The Night Sky Clan leader came to him and stood still. He raised his head and spoke to him with a complicated expression:
"My tribe is under the protection of the Ice Eyes tribe, and we cannot provide any resources to your tribe."
After hearing this, Zhong Yi was filled with questions.
The other party obviously misunderstood something.
In the subsequent exchanges, both sides gradually understood each other's ideas.
Zhong Yi also understood why Chief Yekong said those words at the beginning.
In fact, there is trade between tribes in the Cangxing Sea, but this kind of trade can be more accurately described as exploitation, and the two parties in the trade are more like a master-servant relationship.
For example, the island where the Night Sky Clan lives can produce a spiritual plant called "Kacui Fruit". After the Ice Eye Clan discovered this island, they did not kill all the Night Sky Clan.
Because the Ice Eyes knew that if they wiped out the Night Sky Clan, the "Kacui Fruit" produced on the island would have to be planted, cared for, and picked by the Ice Eyes themselves.
In their eyes, the Night Sky Clan posed no threat, so they chose to establish trade relations with them.
But this is a one-way trade.
Every once in a while, the Night Sky Clan would offer a batch of Kacui Fruits to the Ice Eyes Clan, but all they got was verbal protection from the Ice Eyes Clan.
But to Zhong Yi, the so-called asylum is just another explanation of protection money.
If something really bad happens, the Ice Eyes Clan will definitely not stand up for the Night Sky Clan.
But the Night Sky Clan was powerless to refuse this kind of trade relationship.
The Night Sky Clan does not have any racial cooperation organization like the Earth Alliance behind them, and the price of not giving in is genocide.
So when Chief Yekong heard that he was coming to trade, he subconsciously thought that another tribe was coming to collect shelter fees.
After learning the details, Zhong Yi immediately explained the purpose of his visit and his idea of bartering.
In the eyes of the Night Sky Clan's leader, this idea was obviously too advanced.
It is incomprehensible that in the monster world there are still forces willing to trade in this way. It is truly outrageous.
But after Zhong Yi explained his idea, the thought that came to Chief Yekong's mind was:
This outsider may not have any background, otherwise why would he choose to trade through barter?
Chief Yekong, whose tribe has always been short of resources, suddenly had a greedy idea.
"I want to know your origins?"
“Is it important?” Seeing the tone of Chief Yekong’s voice change from humble to peaceful, Zhong Yi’s mind popped up a sentence: The weak wield their swords against the weaker ones.
Faced with the oppression of the Ice Eyes Clan, the Night Sky Clan could only offer humble tributes.
This is not kindness, but a choice made out of necessity.
But when facing a target weaker than oneself, humility can turn into greed and even a butcher's knife.
Zhong Yi did not hide his thoughts and looked at the Night Sky Clan leader helplessly:
"Old Patriarch, your thoughts are too obvious. I just want to have normal trade with you. Can you please not make trouble right away? Anyway, there is someone behind me that you cannot afford to offend. I can wipe out your entire clan in a snap. Do you understand?"
The old patriarch was a little embarrassed. He laughed twice in a strange tone to ease the atmosphere, and then asked:
"Foreign guest, there are only Kachui fruit on our island, no other spiritual resources."
As he spoke, the old patriarch called on his tribesmen to bring the Kacui fruit.
Zhong Yi analyzed it and found that this was a level 2 spiritual plant, and the price of sacrificing it to the Emperor's Omen was 219 points of sacrificial power.
Assuming the transaction is conducted at the original price, after deducting the 5% commission of the trading house and adding the additional income of 12%, he can earn a 7% profit.
Of course, you can earn a guaranteed 12% profit by trading directly with other players without going through the trading house, but the process is more complicated.
Before making the transaction, Zhong Yi asked what he was thinking:
"Old Patriarch, tell me first, what does your Night Sky Clan lack now?"
After a brief silence, the old patriarch began to talk about the tribe’s predicament.
Zhong Yi called out the forum interface and recorded the keywords of the content described by the old patriarch.
After sorting, there are three categories of tradable commodities.
The first category is food.
There is still enough space on the island to accommodate more Night Sky Tribe members, but the population growth of the Night Sky Tribe is limited by food shortages and can only maintain its current size.
The second category is spiritual ore.
This is also an important resource that affects the Night Sky Clan's ability to improve their combat effectiveness. Without spiritual ore, they cannot create enough weapons, equipment, or even fishing tools.
The third category is medicines.
There are many poisonous insects on the Night Sky Island, and the Night Sky Tribe is often troubled by them. Those who are bitten for a long time do not live long, so they need products that can detoxify.
After clarifying the goods that can be traded, Zhongyi called out the mall panel.
After careful consideration, he spent 1 point of sacrificial power to buy a can of food, opened it and handed it to the old patriarch.
"This is food. How many crunchy fruits do you think you can get in exchange?"
The old patriarch took the can, lowered his head and sniffed it, frowned slightly, then used his fingers to dig out a piece of meat from the can and put it in his mouth to chew.
His expression suddenly changed, he spit on the ground, and looked up at Zhong Yi in disbelief:
“Is this food too?”
Zhong Yi: ...
Although canned food doesn't taste very good, it is the main food for players in the early stages of transition.
"It's better to chew leaves than to eat this stuff." The old patriarch said angrily with a red face.
The old patriarch's words made Zhong Yi immediately realize the problem.
This is not Earth, and food is not just about filling your stomach.
If you think about it carefully, the island is covered with lush vegetation, so how could there not be enough food?
The old patriarch was obviously referring to spiritual food.
So he decisively changed the product and bought an energy paste produced by the Counter Tide Legion, which was sold in the mall for 11 points of sacrificial power.
The old patriarch took the energy paste and looked around him, as if looking for a space prop, and then took a bite with suspicion.
This time the old patriarch's eyes lit up, and then he nodded excitedly:
"This food has a very high energy content, and we in the Night Sky Clan need it very much." "Can you exchange it for a few Crunchy Fruits?"
The old patriarch did not answer directly. He put the energy paste in his hand and muttered something. Then a white mist spread in the palm of his hand and covered the energy paste.
"Based on the energy content of the food, give me 15 and I can give you a Crunchy Fruit."
This answer made Zhong Yi suddenly delighted.
The reasonable price in his mind was around 200 sacrificial power.
However, he didn't expect that the other party only needed 15 energy pastes, costing 165 sacrifice power, in exchange for the Kacui Fruit priced at about 219. With the bonus of the gold coin soul characteristics after the transaction was completed, the profit was higher than expected.
What Zhong Yi didn't know was that this kind of energy food made from a mixture of spiritual materials would inevitably involve certain losses during the production process.
The old patriarch was not stupid. He took into account the potential losses in production and priced the product at 15 pieces.
Once it is clear that the other party has the intention to trade, the next step is how to trade.
Give it directly. Zhongyi is afraid that he may not be able to receive the goods, so it is better to inspect the goods first.
I now have 7612 sacrificial power, which is enough to buy 693 energy pastes.
"Old Patriarch, this is our first trade. How about you give me 46 Kacrunch Fruits and I give you 693 Energy Pastes?"
"Okay, follow me." The old patriarch nodded without hesitation.
Following the old patriarch to a stone house, the old patriarch pushed open the door, and immediately a rich fragrance hit us in the face. The house was filled with kacuit fruits wrapped in leaves.
Zhong Yi's heart was pounding, and he suddenly understood why plundering was the main theme of the monster world.
The transaction process is cumbersome and the returns are not high.
But plundering is different; it’s the path to getting rich quickly.
The old patriarch then entered the house and began to carry out the Kacui fruits, placing 46 of them in front of Zhong Yi.
Zhong Yi did not hesitate. After opening the mall and shopping, 693 energy pastes were piled in front of him with a wave of his hand.
But just as he was about to pick up the kacui fruit on the ground, the old patriarch's skinny hand grabbed his wrist:
"Foreign guest, how many Kacrui Fruits can you exchange for your space device?"
Seeing the greed on the old patriarch's face, Zhong Yi couldn't help but sigh:
"Old Patriarch, I know what you are thinking. Do you want to gamble with the lives of the entire clan?"
Seeing the indifference in Zhong Yi's eyes, the old patriarch hesitated, and finally withdrew in disappointment.
Greed briefly prevailed in his heart, but was eventually suppressed by fear, and he did not dare to gamble the future of the tribe for his immediate interests.
Zhong Yi appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually very panicked inside.
If this is robbed, more than 7000 sacrificial powers will be gone.
This was worse than killing him.
Once I got back to the little dark room, I had to cry for three days before I recovered.
After putting the 46 Kacui fruits into the space bag, Zhong Yi turned around and left accompanied by Yelang.
During this time, call out the trading house to start loading goods.
He marked the price of one Kacui fruit at 220 points of sacrificial power for consignment.
The profit from 46 Kacui Fruits, minus the handling fee, is 9614 points of sacrifice power. With the bonus from the gold soul characteristic, it is 10767 points of sacrifice power.
The benefit after deducting the cost is: 3155 points of sacrifice power.
Make big!
He now had to sell the Kacui Fruit as quickly as possible and then come back to continue trading with the Night Sky Clan.
All the Kacui fruits that the Night Sky Clan needed to offer as tribute were picked up, and then the next round of transactions would be carried out after a few months when the Kacui fruits were ripe.
It turns out that the mysterious businessman's route is entirely feasible.
A round of transactions can earn tens of thousands of yuan at least.
The only problem is, it's not very secure.
Even a weak tribe like the Night Sky Tribe dared to have ideas about him. If they met a powerful tribe, they would probably take direct action.
Not long after the boat left the island, reminders from the trading house kept ringing in his mind.
All 46 crunchy fruits were sold out in just five minutes.
This made Zhong Yi feel that he had left too early, so he immediately turned back to Night Sky Island to prepare for the next round of transactions.
The deal continued into the next day.
The old patriarch was confused the whole time.
I can't understand why this guy who calls himself a businessman has to take a break after each transaction and then continue trading.
Why can't the transaction be completed in one go?
The next day, when Zhong Yi left the island, he had bought up all the goods that the Night Sky Tribe had for sale.
The total profit reached: 31700 points of sacrifice power.
The positive flow of wealth generated 38 gold coins for him, and after sacrificing the Emperor's Omen, he gained 3800 points of sacrificial power.
The sudden increase in wealth gave Zhongyi confidence in the trade routes.
It turns out that the mysterious merchant route is simply a shortcut to wealth and making money is too easy.
Calling up the map, he began to select the next island.
Two days later, Zhong Yi landed on the volcanic island.
This is an island full of active volcanoes, and the air is filled with heat.
Zhong Yi, who had finally landed on the island, was not so lucky this time. Before he could come into contact with or communicate with the alien races on the island, he was quickly sent back to Dizhong Village.
He was so angry that he started cursing and felt that he had wasted a lot of his time.
But after his anger, he shared his situation in the "business group" and then began to look through the chat records of group members.
I found that group members have summarized three ways to obtain extra benefits through the gold coin characteristics in recent days.
The first method is called by group members: Goblin Merchant.
The name of goblin merchants originated from the ancient times of Earth, before it joined the Earth Alliance.
There were also gamers on Earth at that time, playing mobile games and PC games.
He didn't know the history of that time. He only knew that goblins were a kind of monster in fantasy works, and were often used to refer to players who were greedy, shrewd, good at business and hoarding wealth.
This name has been passed down through the ages.
Goblin players are very similar to Hamster Party players, but the characteristics of Hamster Party players are that they hoard goods, are reluctant to use various resources, and enjoy the sense of security brought by the growth of supplies.
What goblin players like is the increase in wealth.
Therefore, the name "Goblin Merchant" is both a mocking term and a recognition of their business acumen.
The gameplay of the Goblin Merchant does not produce goods, but earns profits by buying low and selling high, operating the goods on the mall shelves.
For example, they stockpile silk from ironworms in the early stage, and then sell it at several times the price when the price goes up, making a lot of profit.
The Goblin Merchant gameplay requires players to pay real-time attention to price fluctuations of items in the trading house and have a keen sense of market changes. If they don't play well, they will easily lose money.
The second method is called the mysterious businessman by group members.
The mysterious merchant is a common character in many games. He is a special NPC designed by the game officials for fun.
The mysterious businessman's trading method has three notable characteristics.
The first feature is that it appears in random locations and at random times, which gives players a sense of anticipation and increases the fun.
The second feature is that the goods sold by the mysterious merchant are difficult to obtain through regular channels in the game, such as rare equipment, special materials, limited props, etc.
The third feature is limited-time transactions. Mysterious products generally stay in one location for a limited time and then disappear, making it easy for players to miss them.
The mysterious merchant gameplay requires players to play the role of a wandering merchant to contact different regions and alien races.
Sell goods that aliens cannot obtain through normal channels, and then make a profit from them.
Just like he was willing to sell the energy cream developed by the Counter Tide Legion to the Night Sky Clan, which was a special product that the Night Sky Clan could not obtain from other channels.
The third way is what group members call: trade merchant.
This mode of play is the most difficult and requires the cooperation of a team or even several teams.
Negotiating with those powerful tribes and establishing stable trading channels is an upgraded version of the mysterious merchant mode, which increases one's own voice through cooperation between players.
Now the players in the group are playing the "Mysterious Merchant" mode.
Of these three modes, the most unstable is the Goblin Merchant.
The price changes of commodities in the trading house are affected by many factors, especially sudden updates, which can cause the price of a certain commodity to rise sharply and unpredictably.
The version updates too quickly, making it difficult for players to seize opportunities.
And this kind of gameplay is not welcomed by mainstream players.
In the game Monster World, all players are a whole, and the act of reselling goods internally will inevitably be condemned.
……
After looking through the contents of the file summarized by group members, Zhongyi scrolled down the chat box to the latest one.
Upon learning that he was killed by aliens on the volcanic island, many group members said that they had similar experiences.
It is not easy to complete a transaction normally, which shows that the Night Sky Clan who can conduct transactions safely is just an exception.
The worst case was that one player went to three islands and ended up dead each time.
When faced with invaders, any ethnic group with some strength will definitely strike first.
Even if you are given time to express your ideas, the aliens will only want to plunder the resources you carry with you rather than allowing you to continue the transaction.
Just when Zhong Yi and his group friends were worried about how to establish a stable trading model.
A group member who had never spoken before suddenly posted a long message:
Collect the power of sacrifice: Brothers, I have an idea.
After two days of testing, I came to the conclusion that the benefits brought by the gold soul characteristics can be shared.
You can understand it this way. Suppose a transaction is completed by 10 players together, then these ten players can share the additional 8% profit brought by this income (equally divided).
It is equivalent to hunting in team mode, and team members share the hunting rewards.
In essence, the interests of businessmen are in conflict.
Suppose a player discovers an island that can continuously produce trade income.
Then other players can also go to this island to trade, and even lower the price, intercepting the continuous profits that should belong to the player who first discovered it.
Therefore, how to bundle everyone's interests together is something we must consider.
Otherwise it will only lead to endless internal strife or even armed conflict.
Here I offer a suggestion that can lead to a win-win cooperation.
There is an uninhabited island to the north of the Colorful Mist Coast, called "Dream Island".
I think players with ideas can form a guild together and then establish a black market trading market in Dream Island.
There are three benefits to doing this.
The first is traffic acquisition.
After the trading market is established, as long as it reaches a certain scale, the news that there is a trading market in Dream Island will spread quickly among the various ethnic groups in the sea area.
Customers with whom you can establish business will come to you on their own initiative, and you won’t even need to search for them anymore in the future, as you can continue to receive traffic.
It is equivalent to establishing a stable traffic acquisition channel.
It also saves the extra manpower cost of upgrading vehicles, and saves a lot of time in crossing the sea to search for customers.
The second benefit is shared benefits.
All players are part of the Chamber of Commerce. Only when the Chamber of Commerce becomes bigger can the collective benefits be greater, and more benefits can be distributed to each player.
As for how to distribute profits, it can be done through the shareholding system.
For example: Suppose player A discovers a trading island that can generate stable profits. During this period, player A tells the residents of the island that they can go to Dream Island to trade in the future. Then, when the aliens on this island come to Dream Island to trade in the future, the profits generated are player A's shares and are included in the total profits. When the profits are divided up each month, the player A will get a certain amount of the total profits (tentative).
If there are alien forces that are not registered during this period and seek to trade because of the influence of the trading market, the profits they produce will be distributed to all members of the Chamber of Commerce according to a percentage.
With common interests, expanding the trading market will be the goal of every player in the Chamber of Commerce.
The third benefit is concentrated funds.
Concentrating funds can allow the Chamber of Commerce to quickly expand the market size, attract more alien forces to come and trade, and enhance its attractiveness to aliens.
Secondly, it also allows us to establish trade with powerful races.
For example, a certain race needs a certain expensive resource, and a single player cannot come up with enough money to purchase it, but collective fundraising can solve this problem and give us a higher starting point.
In summary, with Dream Island as the core, we will concentrate our efforts on building a black market trading center.
In addition to our trade with various races, we can also provide a trading platform for the various races in the sea area to exchange resources.
In the early stages of the development of the trading center, we need to go to various islands to solicit customers.
This part of the effort will account for a proportion of the total revenue according to the subsequent customer flow. As the scale expands and the customer source continues, the revenue will only get higher and higher.
……
After seeing the idea of “collecting sacrificial power”, the group members were amazed.
I think this idea is totally feasible.
At this time, a player asked a key question:
Picking Nine Lotuses: Brother, your idea is really good. After reading it, I just want to say it is awesome. However, there is still a problem that has not been solved. It is easy to establish a trading market, but how to prevent potential risks of plundering? The monster world is full of crises. If the powerful tribes know that there is a trading market on the Dream Island, where various spiritual resources are stored, it will inevitably attract the coveted efforts of plundering forces, who will want to eat up all the resources on the island... If we encounter a sudden plundering incident, how should we defend ourselves?
Collecting Sacrifice Power:
Well, this is a risk that is bound to exist.
In fact, no matter how much we take precautions, we cannot solve security problems.
Providing profits to seek protection from powerful guilds, spending sacrifice power to buy security weapons (arms dealers), etc. are not feasible.
Even with the military deterrence provided by the Temple Guild, it is impossible to establish absolutely reliable security in Dream Island.
Not to mention that the core development direction of the Shentang Guild is in the Emperor's Tomb Mountains. Even if all members of the Shentang Guild are stationed on Dream Island, there may be a super power that they cannot contend with and come to plunder.
As long as they show up, all the resources left on the island by the tribes coming to trade will be lost, and it will be easy for our hard-earned reputation to collapse.
These two days, I have been mainly thinking about how to solve this problem.
For this purpose, I consulted a senior in my clan and got a nearly perfect solution.
That is the contract trading model.
In the early stage, transactions are conducted in kind, but later on, as long as trust is established with the alien race, it can be changed to contractual transactions.
Take the Night Sky Clan that the group owner traded with last time as an example.
In the future, when the Night Sky Clan comes to Dream Island to exchange resources, they will directly hand over the "Kacui Fruit" they carry to our players. Our players will register them, put the Kacui Fruit into their space bags, and give the Kacui Clan a piece of record paper (the record paper is not important, even if it is forged).
After storage, Night Sky Clan has two options.
Sell the Kacuit Fruit directly to our players, and we will directly redeem the goods they need.
If you do not want to sell to us players and want to trade with other ethnic groups in the trading market, then we players will guarantee the transaction.
After both parties reach a consensus on the transaction, we will take out the resources stored by both parties from our space bag, pay them to both parties, and charge a transaction fee (5% is recommended, and it can even be free in the early stage to enhance the influence in the early stage of development).
After this transaction is completed, we can not only get the transaction fee income, but also the transaction fee + 8% profit brought by the gold coin characteristics.
Assuming that a powerful plundering force attacks during this period, the worst that can happen is that the entire army will be destroyed.
But we players can guarantee the absolute safety of the goods.
After the crisis is over, we can go to the island where the tribe that provided the goods is located and return all the resources in the space bag.
What everyone needs to understand is that this is a world where trust between ethnic groups is very low.
After we established the Chamber of Commerce, integrity needs to be accumulated bit by bit.
As long as we return resources once, the tribes that come to trade will trust our player tribe and will be able to continue trading in the future.
This trust will also spread, allowing more people of different ethnic groups to trust us and form a consensus of trust.
It will form an impression to the outside world that the trading market established by the Player Chamber of Commerce cannot guarantee the personal safety of members of each race, but as long as they bring the resources of the island, it is absolutely safe.
There is no means to plunder the resources they bring.
The space bag is a strong guarantee for the credibility of our chamber of commerce.
In the future, some tribes may even take the initiative to store their resources with us, and we can even charge them a "security fee" (provided that the Chamber of Commerce has established a reputation and credibility that resounds throughout the sea).
In the future, we can even set up a trading board on Dream Island, on which the resources provided by various races will scroll.
Change the way of stall trading (setting up contracts) to something like a trading house, providing an efficient trading model that can filter goods.
The trading partners do not even need to meet in person. They can simply place an order at a price set by one party, and the players can connect and pay for the goods on both sides.
As for the future construction costs of the island's infrastructure, they will be deducted from the Chamber of Commerce's total revenue and everyone will share the payment.
The cost of expanding the storage space also needs to be paid by everyone. We need to select a few trustworthy players, expand their storage capacity, and let them take on the role of mobile warehouses in the Chamber of Commerce.
In theory, this trading model is extremely attractive to all ethnic groups in the sea area.
Apart from us players, no other force can guarantee the absolute security of their resources.
……
After reading the logically rigorous idea of establishing a chamber of commerce, the group members all reached a climax.
Many people spoke up to express their admiration for the player who came up with the idea.
The construction of the black market trading market perfectly solved a series of problems mentioned in their discussion.
If we can achieve a certain scale in the future, there will be no need to explore everywhere, as alien races will come to us just by lying down.
In addition to trade transactions, the trading center can even expand into profit-making models similar to banks and intermediaries.
After reading the concept, Zhong Yi decisively transferred the position of "group leader" to the player to "collect the power".
He also said: We are all playing games, but your understanding and creative thinking of games are far beyond my reach, and you deserve the position of group leader.
Other group members also expressed their admiration.
Even before the Chamber of Commerce was established, there was already a consensus on who would be the president.
