Chapter 212 Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, Trade Starts
Chapter 212 Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, Trade Starts
The site for the trading center has been chosen, and the development model of the trading center has also been clearly planned.
Group members all supported "Shou Jili" to be the president of the Chamber of Commerce.
The topic of discussion then turned to what name to give the Chamber of Commerce.
During this period, group members put forward various ideas, and finally voted to determine the name of the Chamber of Commerce: Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce.
Named after the original "gold coin" of the Five Dynasties, this is also the initial motivation for group members to become businessmen.
After the group name was changed, Shoujili, who was already the group owner, began to explain the Chamber of Commerce regulations in more detail.
Collect the power of sacrifice (group leader):
Since we have decided to form a chamber of commerce, let’s work together to make it bigger and stronger.
It is better to explain some issues in advance to avoid various conflicts due to details in the future.
The first is the changes in the Chamber of Commerce’s personnel.
After the Chamber of Commerce was established, our interests are tied together, but incompatibility issues may still arise during development.
For example, some players joined early but did not actually make any contribution, yet they still want to continue to benefit from the development of the Chamber of Commerce.
We must kick out such members.
Therefore, it is necessary to establish a complete contribution points system.
Points are calculated based on the activities of Chamber of Commerce members, including but not limited to, earning points through overseas solicitation of clients, construction of trading centers, and docking of trading centers with other races. I will explain this in detail later.
In the future, each player’s contribution will be checked according to the contribution points, which will be counted every 3 months. If the score is below the passing line twice in a row, the player will be kicked out of the Chamber of Commerce.
The second issue is possible contradictions in decision-making.
In the future, there will definitely be differences of opinion among us regarding the development of the Chamber of Commerce.
How to solve the problem? I think it can be solved by voting.
Since everyone has elected me as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, I would like to propose that I have 5 votes and each member of the group has one vote. In the future, any disagreements will be resolved by voting and then implemented according to the voting results.
The third issue is joint fund management.
The fourth issue is the spending on infrastructure construction.
……
Finally, Shou Jili put forward his own idea.
He said that since he was chosen to be the president of the Chamber of Commerce and be responsible for future development decisions, he wanted to have a fixed 5% share of the Chamber of Commerce's profits, and the rest of the profits would be calculated separately according to contribution.
After reading the content, the group members have realized that the new group leader Shou Jili is definitely a professional boss.
They all said that there was nothing wrong with a fixed income of 5%.
After clarifying the operating rules of the Chamber of Commerce, Shou Jili immediately began to arrange the construction of the trading center.
The first step is to raise funds.
There are 87 members in the group, and Shoujili said that each member would contribute Jili as the start-up capital of the Chamber of Commerce.
Ten thousand sacrificial powers is obviously not a small number, and there are many players in the group who cannot afford it.
But the group leader collected his strength and gave the group members two days to prepare.
Group members can collect 10,000 sacrificial power through hunting, cleaning space bags, borrowing sacrificial power from friends, etc.
During this period, some group members expressed that they wanted to contribute more power and purchase a fixed income of 1% in the future.
But this idea was rejected by "Shou Jili", who said that doing so would undoubtedly affect the future earnings of other group members.
Except for the president, other chamber of commerce members will not have fixed income.
But as long as we can establish a stable trade channel, we will be able to obtain long-term trade benefits through this stable trade channel in the future.
Unless the race providing trade is exterminated and no longer provides trade profits to the Chamber of Commerce.
……
Two days later.
The Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce was officially established.
The president, Shoujiri (Alan), decides to meet with the group members at Neverland.
Dream Island is located to the north of the Caiwu Coast, 13.7 kilometers away in a straight line. It is an island closer to the Caiwu coastline.
Surrounded by clear blue water, the island is dotted with towering ancient trees and low, growing colorful flowers and plants. The air is filled with the faint fragrance of plants, mixed with the salty and humid air brought by the sea breeze, forming a unique and refreshing smell.
As soon as he stepped onto the island, A Lan was attracted by the scenery in front of him.
After retracting the vehicle, he looked up and forward.
This place is in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the Colorful Mist Coast Beach, and all you can feel is the tranquil atmosphere of nature.
He conducted a detailed investigation before choosing this island.
What is certain is that the islands are not inhabited by any race, nor do they have any spiritual resources to exploit.
This is obviously also the reason why no ethnic force is willing to develop Dream Island, and its original ecology is still preserved.
In fact, Dream Island was once quite popular on the forum.
The cause had nothing to do with the island, but was because a very lucky "control flow" player picked up a dying cultivator near Dream Island.
He also successfully implanted the "control" mark into the corpse of the immortal cultivator and obtained the first super pet since the launch of the server.
As a result, the Ascending Clan appeared in the players' field of vision.
After that, apart from the occasional fishing party players, basically no other players came to explore Dream Island.
Because this island is too ordinary and has no highlights.
This is also the main reason why Alan chose to establish a black market trading center in Dream Island.
The process of island development does not require clearing the indigenous people, which reduces a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Secondly, there are no spiritual resources on the island, and it will not attract the attention of those powerful tribes. After all, occupying this island will not bring any benefits to the powerful tribes.
A Lan arrived early and stood on the beach waiting for the arrival of the Chamber of Commerce members.
At this time, the number of members in the Chamber of Commerce group reached 128.
Among them, 41 players joined later through the forum and also paid a membership fee of sacrificial power.
The Chamber of Commerce will gradually grow in the future, and in Alan's opinion, the current team is far from enough.
Although the trading center he envisioned could not guarantee the personal safety of traders, it must ensure the absolute safety of the resources brought by aliens.
This will require that many members will take on the role of mobile warehouses in the future.
Except for the barter mode in the early stage, the transactions are basically completed by players who serve as mobile warehouses.
For example, when the Night Sky Clan arrives on the island, they hand over resources to the player who serves as the "mobile warehouse" on the shore and record the amount of resources.
After entering the island, trade between different ethnic groups in the trading center was conducted using recording paper.
On the outlying island, players acting as mobile warehouses will hand over the goods obtained after the transaction with the Night Sky Clan on the shore.
There is no physical object in the entire transaction process, which ensures the absolute safety of trade resources on the island.
However, we are not responsible after leaving the island.
Even if the goods are robbed the next second after leaving the island, the loss will be borne by the ethnic group that came to trade.
This is just the preliminary trading model that Alan envisioned.
If he wants the chamber of commerce to develop better and better and take its influence to a higher level, he will also need to consider issues such as customer privacy and resource distribution in the future.
Customer privacy.
A Lan considered that some ethnic groups might have rare resources.
However, regardless of whether the ethnic group can use it or not, such resources cannot be easily displayed.
Perhaps after coming into contact with the black market trading center, these ethnic groups wanted to take out their rare resources and exchange them for living resources, but they were also afraid that this action might be targeted by other ethnic groups, leading to a crisis of genocide.
Therefore, they are reluctant to sell their precious resources to black market trading centers.
After all, although there is no physical object in the transaction process, as long as the customers meet each other, too much information will inevitably be leaked.
It is inevitable that some powerful tribe will note the discovery of the trading market and lead their tribe to plunder after leaving the island.
In a world of monsters where the strong prey on the weak, not showing off your wealth is an important rule of survival.
It is best for the two parties to a transaction not to meet in person to avoid revealing too many secrets of the tribe.
The services that trading markets can provide are essentially inconsistent with the laws of how the world works.
But since they are players, they can have many supermodel settings.
There are many ways to reduce the number of meetings between customers.
For example, building a digital trading market.
In the future, technological products in this area can be completed through the mechanical city in the cave world.
The assembly line mass-produces technological products and delivers them to the trading center.
Each customer who comes to the island in the future will be given a tablet.
Just like players buy goods in the trading house, they can place orders directly, and then the players will be responsible for connecting the two parties to the transaction.
Even if the buyer wants to bargain, or the seller wants to negotiate, they can convey this indirectly through the player who connects the transaction without having to meet in person.
After privacy is protected, many alien races will choose to sell their rare resources that they originally dared not to take out in the black market trading center, providing more transaction fees for the gold coin chamber of commerce they have established.
In terms of resource distribution, he also took into account the serious risks in the transportation process after leaving the island.
When they find that they cannot plunder resources on the island, the powerful races will choose to wait outside the island and plunder as many as possible.
Think of the Neverland they created as a hunting ground.
To address potential problems, the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce will provide delivery services to customers in the future.
Let the player who is responsible for the mobile warehouse task follow the customer who has completed the transaction until he escorts the resources to the island where the other tribe lives.
At that time, the fees can be calculated based on distance or a percentage.
For example, for 1 nautical mile, the charge is based on the amount of resources of equivalent power.
If the transaction amount of this order is large and the distance is short, and there is little delivery profit, a commission will be taken as a percentage of the resource price.
Players are responsible for delivery, and even if the voyage is robbed, the resources can be guaranteed to be delivered safely.
At worst, the dead player can be resurrected and start again from the Colorful Mist Coast to continue delivering goods.
This can significantly improve the sense of security of all ethnic groups in transactions.
In order to avoid being targeted by a group stronger than oneself and bringing disaster upon the clan.
Even after the transaction is completed, there is no need for players to follow the escort, they can directly deliver the goods.
As long as you pay, everything will be easy.
Therefore, the black market trading center in the future will need a large number of trade delivery personnel.
In addition to the deliverymen in the Chamber of Commerce, A Lan plans to recruit some non-Chamber of Commerce staff in the future who will not enjoy profit sharing and will be paid according to their work.
For example, new players.
Many new players often complain in the forums that they don’t have enough energy to spend.
He can provide a platform to earn extra sacrificial power.
In the future, players who have time can come to the black market trading center to do a few delivery business. As long as the capacity of the personal space bag meets the requirements, and then give the Chamber of Commerce administrator a deposit, you can take the order and set off. The specific income will be distributed by the Chamber of Commerce after the delivery service is completed, and a certain profit will be extracted from it.
In Alan's opinion, the trading market has a very broad room for expansion.
The foreseeable future.
The black market will become the most bustling and prosperous place in several nearby sea areas, and a large number of alien caravans will travel back and forth in this sea area.
Dream Island will also become the most lively area for players besides the space nodes.
It can even siphon off various commercial activities along the Colorful Mist Coastline, providing ordinary players with opportunities to interact with alien races and sell homemade snacks.
But they still have many problems to deal with before establishing a black market trading center.
Thinking about the future, the first wave of Chamber of Commerce members arrived.
There are three players in total, riding a blue boat.
As soon as they landed and saw A Lan standing on the beach, the expressions of the three players who arrived became very interesting.
He also subconsciously glanced at the player name above Alan's head to confirm his identity.
"President?"
"Yes, it's me." A Lan walked forward with a smile, nodded and greeted.
“Fuck, creatures from the upper realm, aren’t you playing version A of Monster World?” the leading man said in surprise.
Hearing this, A Lan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then immediately explained:
"The monster world of version A has ended. In the future, players of the Eclipse Clan will gradually enter version B, which is the current version."
It turns out that the Eclipse Clan’s impression in previous virtual games was too cool, which led to them becoming an outsider in the monster world.
This is not a good phenomenon.
Although players call him a creature from the upper realm, this is by no means a compliment, but rather a mockery of the Eclipse Clan's once indifferent attitude.
There is a natural, unexplainable barrier between players of any race when they come into contact with members of the Eclipse Clan.
This is a trend that A Lan does not want to see.
In the future, the Eclipse Clan will be integrated into the Player Corps, and will also need to cooperate with the various forces of the Player Corps in future development.
Only by integrating can there be a future. Being unique and even causing players of other races to feel disgusted will only affect the development of the Eclipse Clan.
This obviously requires the joint efforts of him and the Eclipse Clan members who will qualify for the game in the future.
Reverse the stereotypes of players of all races towards members of the Eclipse clan.
At this time, A Lan chose to lower his posture and take the initiative to communicate.
Soon, members of the Chamber of Commerce arrived one after another.
When the Chamber of Commerce members saw him after arriving on the island, the first thing they said was generally surprise at his identity as a member of the Lunar Eclipse Tribe.
Some Chamber of Commerce members even joked that there was an internal modifier that could help their brothers change their attribute data for fun.
It would be best if the sacrifice power value could be increased by a few zeros.
In response to this, Alan also said in a joking tone that if there was a cheat, he would definitely use it on himself first, and he was also troubled by the difficulty of obtaining sacrificial power.
By using self-deprecating methods, he places his own needs on the same level as those of the Chamber of Commerce players.
This will bring us closer to chamber of commerce members and reduce barriers.
As communication increased, the sense of strangeness faded.
After all the members of the Chamber of Commerce arrived, A Lan stood up and looked up at the lush forest on the island.
Then he called up the map function, drew a circle in the central area of Dream Island, and shared it with the Chamber of Commerce members who had already formed a team.
"Let's get started and clean up the area according to my plan." After saying this, A Lan led the Chamber of Commerce members towards the center of the island.
The island is covered with green plants, but there is no suitable site for building a trading center. In the initial stage, a large number of trees need to be cut down and a piece of open space needs to be cleared.
During this period, eight routes connecting to the coast will be opened up.
The players following A Lan also summoned their weapons at this time and began to clear the green plants along the way.
The brute axe chopped, the black flame fireball burned, the wind whip lashed... the members of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce used their soul abilities to carry out pioneering actions.
Cleaning up the island is no small task, but members of the Gold Coin Guild can also earn a small profit from it.
Felled ancient trees can be disassembled into wood blocks and sold in the trading house. There will be various types of players who will spend their power to buy them, such as setting up stalls to grill fish on the coast, building guild settlements, making sailboats, etc.
But these common resources that can be found everywhere in the monster world cannot be sold at much price.
An ancient tree can only be sold for a few points of sacrificial power.
The purpose of selling items on the trading house is more to clear up space on Dream Island and save the process of transporting and destroying them, so players in the Chamber of Commerce are willing to do so even if it is given away for free.
During this process, the members of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce worked extremely hard.
Expectations for the future have been raised to the maximum, and all members feel that early efforts will inevitably bring high returns in the future.
As time goes by, the cleanup work gradually progresses.
The members of the Chamber of Commerce worked in perfect harmony under A Lan's command, and every step from felling to dismantling and putting the trees on the shelves was done in an orderly manner.
The central area of Dream Island was originally covered by lush green plants. Giant ferns nearby stretched out their feathery leaves, vines coiled around ancient tree trunks like snakes, and drooping roots swayed in the wind. Layers of branches and leaves intertwined to form an impenetrable green dome.
The ground was also covered with thick fallen leaves, which were soft and silent when stepped on, and one would sink into them.
Due to the long time, the fallen leaves on the lower layer have rotted and the air is filled with a damp, rotten smell.
As the cleanup work progresses, the true appearance of this green environment gradually reveals itself.
During this period, ancient trees were cut down one after another and listed on the trading house at the lowest price of 0.01, and would soon be bought by other players in need.
When the old trees in the central area disappeared, the sunlight shone like a sharp sword on the newly opened space.
This area, which has not seen sunlight for who knows how many years, has finally welcomed the first ray of brightness in the new era.
Looking at the fine wood dust floating in the air, the players of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce had sweat on their foreheads, but smiles on their faces.
This kind of effort that can see the future fills their hearts with the desire to strive.
A Lan, who was standing in the center of the venue, also looked around at this time. The cleared space formed a sharp contrast with the dense jungle around it.
Use guiding sight to look up and down.
The clearing was like a sudden blank spot on a carefully manicured green canvas, allowing sunlight to pour in unhindered, illuminating the tangled tree roots and mottled moss on the ground.
The air was filled with the fragrance of fresh grass and trees, completely different from the previous dull and damp atmosphere.
"Everyone take a break, and we will continue to open up the wasteland in an hour."
Seeing from the team list that the fatigue values of the Chamber of Commerce players were a bit low, A Lan immediately asked the players to rest, and then he put away his weapons and stopped working.
The process of land reclamation cannot be completed in one day.
He felt there was no need to rush, as there would be plenty of time to advance the construction of the trading market in the future.
……
three days later.
Relying on the attributes and abilities granted by the characteristics of the soul, Alan led the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce to successfully complete the initial development of Dream Island.
Then they used some of the wood left over from the land reclamation to build a simple shed on the open space.
This is the prototype of the black market trading center.
The simplest first step has been completed, and then A Lan began to give instructions for the next task.
The second step is more difficult and is also a key step in the future development of the black market trading center.
Chamber of Commerce members are required to travel to alien islands in various seas as mysterious merchants and try to establish trading connections.
During this period, some players will inevitably be killed.
But what players have to do is to go back and forth, trade on the islands, and gradually attract various tribes to Dream Island.
This step will also determine the early profit sharing.
Every alien customer will be a quota for the player’s share in the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce.
At Alan's request, after the development was completed, players went overseas and began to expand the market of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce.
At this stage, there are three alien races with which trade relations can be established, namely the Night Sky Tribe, the Stone Tribe, and the Violent Wing Tribe.
These three ethnic groups have traded with players in the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce. Next, we need to try to get them to come to Dream Island to trade. In the early stages, we can give them more profits to enhance the attractiveness of Dream Island.
For example, last time the Night Sky Clan spent 46 Crunchy Fruits to buy 693 energy pastes from Zhong Yi.
This time, Zhong Yi followed A Lan's request and prepared to inform the Night Sky Clan that as long as they went to Dream Island to trade, they could exchange 40 Kacui Fruits for 700 energy pastes.
From a future perspective, early profits are not important; expanding the influence of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce is the key.
Only by establishing sufficient influence can the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce obtain continuously growing future profits and stable customer flow.
This step requires the joint efforts of all members of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce.
……
Leaving two temporary management members on Dream Island, A Lan also turned back at this time.
Returning to the Colorful Mist Coast space, he came to the cave world space through the teleportation array.
Walking out of the space, what appeared before our eyes was a scene of dilapidated mechanical ruins.
After regrouping with his teammates, he called out the map.
The positions of teammates are shown on the map in the form of blue cursors.
A Lan immediately jogged towards the area where his teammates were.
Recently, his main focus has been on the mechanical ruins scene in the cave world.
He wanted to see with his own eyes whether the Tower of Eternity in the concept of the Mechanical Guards really existed.
It has now been made clear that StarNet can enter the game world by competing for qualifications.
However, it is currently unclear whether it will enter in the form of an ordinary life form, or a replica of a half-mechanical, half-biological intelligent brain in the real world.
So the Tower of Aion becomes very important.
Assuming that Starnet came to the monster world in the form of an ordinary life form, the Tower of Aion can be used to carry Starnet's consciousness in the future, allowing Starnet to become the master of the mechanical ruins city.
If you enter with the main body, you can also combine it with the Mechanical Ruins City.
Inherit the legacy left by the Mechanical Guards and take control of the huge mechanical city.
Countless arsenals can operate under the will of the Star Network, mass-producing technological products and mechanical arms.
But what is certain is that repairing this mechanical city will require a huge amount of manpower.
The Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce is one of the sources of funds for the Eclipse Clan to repair the mechanical ruins.
Looking at the development of the Eclipse Clan in the monster world from a first principles perspective, the source of funding is certainly important.
But the ultimate goal is to convert it into power, so the importance of the mechanical city is self-evident.
This may be the key to helping the Eclipse Clan establish initial armed forces in the monster world.
After meeting with teammates, the fusion mode begins.
Alan led his teammates towards the central area of the mechanical ruins city.
