Chapter 1184: The Rise of Western Union
When people are busy, time always flies.
So much so that after Xue Qingling suddenly appeared in the Hundred Gu Stars, Yu Ling was quite surprised why she came back so early.
"It's early, it's been five months and twelve days since you left the Hanging Star. Xue Qingling thought about it seriously.
"It's been so long. Yu Ling couldn't help but sweat, he was already so busy that he had no concept of time at all.
Because after returning from the evil Fang clan, he convened a plenary meeting of the Western Union, formulated a complete set of normative regulations, and sent a delegation to Xuefeng Star for a signing ceremony. Because Du Yichen readily agreed to this matter, this set of regulations has come into effect at the beginning of this month, and the Western Border Corridor has also been transferred from the trial period to the right track.
It has to be said that the regulations were introduced at the right time, and many of these funds have helped Western Union to alleviate the trouble to the greatest extent. For example, in the article "life and death", many cultivators went to the western realm to explore but accidentally died, and their unreasonable relatives and friends threw the black pot on the head of the Western Union, and justifiably ran to ask for compensation. But after this set of regulations is implemented, warriors who don't follow the rules will stay in the north honestly, so as not to go to the west like touching porcelain.
If the passage to the western realm is just completed, Yuling will make a lot of rules and regulations to restrict everyone, maybe this group of warriors will have a temper and would rather operate in the north than go to the west. But now after the buffer of the trial period, many people have tasted the sweetness, after all, there are many safety precautions written in the promotional brochure, and some fixed space turbulence zones are also marked, most of the martial artists have gained something, and they are preparing to gather friends to go to the second and third time.
In particular, Western Union has specially announced that the entire northern territory will be free of charge for teleportation arrays during the trial period, and will gradually return to normal fees after the trial period, increasing by 100 star coins per month, until it finally stabilizes at 1,000 star coins per person. The first 1,000 martial artists who come to the Hundred Gu Stars every month can also enjoy a nine-percent discount from now on, valid for life (non-repeatable), and stop the activity after one year.
This measure has greatly increased the flow of people during the trial period, and it has also made it so that after the regulations were introduced, the number of people going to the western realm has not decreased too much, after all, everyone has the intention of taking advantage, and many martial artists don't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, they will first come to Baigu Star to get a nine-percent discount.
When the number of people really stabilizes, I'm afraid it will be a year later.
And the most important one in the entire regulation is actually aimed at the major forces. The regulations stipulate that any martial artist is only allowed to go to the Western Territory in his personal capacity, and can form a multi-person squad, but during the same period, the upper limit of the same force (including but not limited to sects, families, alliances, regional countries, etc.) shall not exceed 100, the number of Vajra warriors shall not exceed ten, the number of Guyuan warriors shall not exceed two, and the martial artists of the Immortal Realm shall only be able to use the Western Union Teleportation Array after consultation.
Supplementary provisions: This article does not apply to members of the Western Union and members of the Western Union, and other forces must obtain permission from the Western Union high-level meeting if they need group activities.
As long as you chew this article twice, you can perceive the restrictive meaning in it, and the Fire Refining Sect was the first to refuse to recognize this clause, and the Western Union was not to be outdone and issued a statement the next day, announcing that the Fire Refining Sect was no longer qualified to use the Western Union Teleportation Array.
But except for the Fire Refining Sect, the other major forces, even the Hai family, remained silent, even though they knew that this clause greatly restrained their hands and feet.
Because for the second- and third-rate forces, they didn't have a few King Kong and Guyuan warriors, and if so many people were dispatched to the Western Realm in one go, would they still want to sit in their own base camp? Exploration is also a hobby, and guarding the house is the most important thing.
And the five major sects and the six major families are different, King Kong warriors, they have hundreds casually, and Guyuan martial artists also have dozens, if they take a large number of people and horses along the Western Union Teleportation Array to easily go deep into the Western Realm in the name of experience, and use the space knowledge on the propaganda brochure to bypass the dangerous area and colonize the Western Planet on a large scale, the consequences will be extremely serious.
If the Western Union did not have the backer of Xuefeng, it would definitely be fancy to dare to promulgate such an ordinance, but now with Xuefeng's support, other forces have to remain silent even if they are aggrieved, after all, on the bright side, the old monster at the peak of Xuefeng's immortal realm is the strongest person in the north.
As for the resolute attitude of the Fire Refining Sect, it is easy for everyone to understand that these two major sects are also incompatible, and if the Western Union chooses to go to the Snow Peak, it will inevitably be the enemy of the Fire Refining Sect. But Yu Ling knew that the Fire Refining Sect was also an ally of the Heavenly Cave Sect, and they probably really didn't care about the Western Passage opened up by Yu Ling.
After all, the rules are maintained by violence, so the evil clan became the second ally of the Western Union, and it turned into a bombshell that shook the northern border. There are some people who have never heard of the evil clan, and Yu Ling only needs to announce the number of resources, stars, and masters that this ally has mastered, and the northern martial artists will automatically understand.
This world is so direct, to assess the strength of one party's power, it is basically to look at the territory, the second is to look at the masters, and the third is to look at the money. As for the network and heritage, it was also based on these three at the beginning.
In fact, this news frightened the Western Union themselves, Yuling and Tian Miaoling only took care of the matchmaking, and the follow-up matters were naturally negotiated by their subordinates, so in the past month, the Western Union and the evil people have been very busy.
After the Evil Fang Clan joined, the flow of people in the Western Passage skyrocketed again, because Tian Miaoling deliberately burned down a lot of Jedi images, and then processed them into exquisite and exciting advertisements by Western Union, and finally spread the advertisements again, this chain is quite perfect.
However, Western Union will also mark the danger level on the recommended expedition Jedi, indicating the mortality rate of martial artists of each level and some safety tips to avoid danger, so it is not an unkind pit person. As for the warriors themselves who were attracted by the list of rare treasures produced by the Jedi, it was none of the business of Western Union.
Therefore, although this period of time is busy, the star coins in the account are also rising geometrically, and Tian Miaoling, a business wizard who has been delayed by the position of patriarch, has also put forward a lot of ideas to make money.
Not only did the third-level authority make the Western Union and the Evil Fang Clan make a lot of money, but she immediately sold the information fee, such as the maps of the various Jedi of the Evil Fang Clan, each person can receive a free version, and at the same time, the Evil Fang Clan will advertise by the way, and sell the fine version of the map with a detailed introduction to the Jedi, and the Western Union will also have a corresponding profit share.
And after these warriors come back from the Western Realm, the Evil Fang Clan will also pay attention to the state of each person, which one accidentally hangs up, which one is seriously injured, and which one has gained a lot, and they will inform the Western Union to form a detailed data form. Yuling observed for about a month, and then decided to start an insurance project, the specific way of operation is of course to learn from those insurance companies, anyway, calculate the mortality rate and don't let yourself lose.
I have to say that after learning that they could buy insurance, the "simple and kind" warriors in the north actually had a good impression of Western Union, and even thought that they were doing charity. After all, many martial artists practice so desperately to take risks, just to let their families live a better life, but they are also afraid that if they miss, they will not bury the future of their family.
But with insurance, they can rest assured that they can go to the west to try their luck, if they can come back alive, then they will have something to gain, if they are unfortunate to die, the family can also rely on the insurance money to survive.
Thinking of insurance, Yuling also thought of more ways to make money, although he didn't have any business acumen, and he couldn't learn the methods of those financial tycoons to manipulate the lifeblood of the global economy, but he had never seen a pig run or eaten pork, and it was always okay to get a lottery ticket and lottery after completing insurance.
Yuling's general idea is this, people who have used the Western Union teleportation array and purchased Tassel Pavilion goods will record consumption points, and after reaching a certain level, they can redeem the number of lottery draws and different levels of lottery tickets for free. It's still a novelty to people in this world, and there must be a lot of people who want to try it.
Then this idea was handed over to Nirabe and others to improve, after all, many ideas are good, but the implementation of many aspects of consideration.
For example, how to record the consumption points? The result of everyone's discussion is to give each martial artist an "ID card" card, with the assistance of the master of the Soul Clan, the identity card and the martial soul wave are linked, the person is stuck, the person dies and the card is destroyed, if the soul wave does not correspond, then it cannot be consumed, lest there are always some people who specifically rob other people's ID cards and get a lot of consumption points for nothing.
And with the identity card, many things are much more convenient, whether it is public security management or making money.
Most of the warriors who don't cooperate with the card application have ghosts in their hearts, and Western Union will not do anything to them, at most, they will be expelled from the country, and when they will figure it out and when they will come in.
Next, the Western Union began to engage in the taxi industry again, and the Soul Clansmen came in handy again, they didn't need much training to operate the Star Boat, so they all turned into mysterious taxi drivers, the safety is definitely much stronger than those warriors themselves, and don't doubt the industrial level of the Li Yan clan in terms of comfort.
The most important thing is that many casual cultivators can't drive the Star Boat, and after they have a rental business, they can directly hire a Soul Brake Clan driver wherever they want. Therefore, following the Great Expedition to the West, the construction and development of tourism in the West has also been put on the agenda.
To sum up, throughout this period of time, the major forces in the north looked at the dazzling series of measures of the Western Union, and they were all in a state of confusion, whether it was an identity card, or insurance, or lottery and lottery, or star boat rental, it was something that had never been seen or heard of in the north before.
This made them feel new and at the same time, it also surged a great sense of crisis and unease, because these seemingly simple small means are driving the rise of Western Union at a terrifying speed. Even the Yishang Guild had to sigh that an immature business empire had risen from the cradle.
Savvy businessmen know that the flow of people is the basis of business development, because only people can bring consumption and promote production.
Western Union's initiatives may seem complex, but without exception, their most fundamental goal is to attract traffic, especially ...... Those second- and third-rate small forces and numerous loose cultivators.
It is this huge group that has been ignored for a long time that has become a terrorist force that has boosted the growth of Western Union, so that the five major sects and six major families have to look sideways.
Maybe these people can't spend a lot of money, and they may spend only a few hundred or thousands of star coins at a time.
But there are many of them, and the generosity of ten wealthy nobles is not comparable to the small expenses of 100,000 ordinary warriors.
This is the secret of Xilian's rapid fortune, and the heavenly treasures given by the Heavenly Cave Sect only provide an opportunity.
When Xue Qingling quietly listened to what had happened in the past few months, a hint of brilliance flashed in her eyes: "Sometimes I really admire you, I can always think of things that others can't think of." ”
"Actually...... This is not something I came up with either. Yu Ling was a little embarrassed, so she simply changed the topic and said, "Anyway, what's going on over there?"
