Chapter 486: Let's Have an Auction
Looking at the rather unscrupulous smile on Jiang Yan's face, Kamon seemed to faintly see two big characters from above.
- Profiteers!
He was slightly stunned, and after reacting, some guesses popped up in his heart.
"What do you mean, my lord......" Carmon asked tentatively.
Jiang Yan didn't sell it, and directly affirmed his conjecture: "Take out this kind of space storage made by ordinary alchemists in the alchemy department, and sell it to the outside world." ”
"Even if the problem with this storage hasn't been solved yet?" Carmon thought for a moment, but confirmed again.
"Yes. Jiang Yan smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Of course, although it is to be sold, we should not hide the current problems of this kind of space storage, and we will also announce it when it is sold." ”
Carmon understood Jiang Yan's thoughts, and then continued to ask a question: "Then in this way, the price must be lowered." ”
"Of course, the defective version of the storage sold is discounted by fifty or sixty percent on the basis of the normal market price of the perfect version of the storage without defects, what do you think?" Jiang Yan estimated for a moment, and then asked.
"Uh...... Lord, are you asking me what I think?" said Carmon, but he was slightly flustered.
It stands to reason that Jiang Yan, as the sovereign he is loyal to, as long as he wants to do it, the entire fantasy sect will become his Yiyan Hall, and this sovereign has absolute dictatorial authority.
Even if Camon is now a member of the "United Council", the top-level authority of the Dream Sect, and can participate in any major decisions of this huge force, and has great power, he always has a clear understanding of the upper limit of his status
After all, from the moment he chose to surrender and join the "child network", Carmon was already very clearly aware that he had truly become a 'slave' existence of the seemingly incomparably young lord in front of him.
If he dared to provoke this lord to be dissatisfied with him because of his inappropriate words and deeds for a while, Carmon had no doubt that the noble and powerful positions he now possessed, which countless people in the Fantasy Sect and even many outsiders in the outside world were equally envious of, would collapse in an instant.
Especially compared to other veteran members like Zos, he can only be said to be a newcomer, so when facing the new lord, he needs to pay more attention.
When he first joined, he tested the new lord with some words, which was actually a bit risky at the time, but fortunately, it seems that the new lord did not criticize it at the time.
At that time, Camon somewhat understood the new lord's personality, so he let go of his worries about his future.
And now that Jiang Yan asked him for his opinion so casually, it made Carmon's perception of this seemingly young new lord clearer.
'This one...... I really don't care much about the superiority and inferiority between masters and servants or subordinates. But also, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't have imagined that a powerful person with dictatorial authority would just leave all the affairs to his subordinates and almost completely ignore the affairs himself. ’
But now that I think about it, there is a "submachine network...... As long as this kind of management system established by this mysterious power still exists, even if the minions below control the most powerful power, there will be no problem, right?'
As long as there is no problem with the one who stands at the top, then this organization, this kingdom, will basically never have an internal crisis! All the forces of the whole kingdom can be perfectly twisted together and unanimous to the outside world...... At present, with the character of this person, it seems that it is really not a bad thing for my clan to join this country. ’
Looking back on the past, several thoughts flashed through Carmon's mind.
The thoughts that had been lingering in the deepest part of Carmon's heart for several months, and that were originally hidden that he was unwilling to surrender to others, naturally faded most of them directly.
Jiang Yan didn't deliberately probe Carmon's thoughts, but he could feel that this new subordinate didn't know what he was thinking just now, and then this guy's respectful attitude towards him suddenly became much more sincere than before in just a few seconds.
raised his eyebrows, although he was a little curious, Jiang Yan still didn't use the authority of the handset network to explore the other party's psychological thoughts.
You treat me with sincerity, and I treat them with sincerity. This can be regarded as Jiang Yan's principle.
Anyway, he can confirm that this guy Carmon has no ill will towards him, so there is no need to deliberately spy on the other party's **.
As a superior, it is also necessary to appropriately give subordinates some ** space on the premise of ensuring that subordinates will not betray.
Jiang Yan is very clear about his own catties. If he didn't have the help of his abilities, he probably wouldn't be able to be the ruler of such a huge kingdom that rules over tens of millions of people, at least not to the point where he is now able to make all the members of the entire kingdom submit and operate almost perfectly around him.
Without Zos's subordinates, whether Jiang Yan could develop his forces so smoothly is probably a very doubtful question. How to make the forces under his command better develop and grow is inseparable from the help of these subordinates.
Therefore, Jiang Yan has always hoped that these subordinates can be more sincere in their loyalty to him and do things for him. Although subordinates who are subdued through the "data protocol" can be forced to surrender, whether the other party is active or not depends on their own mentality.
There is obviously a big gap between perfunctory and sincere response.
What Jiang Yan can do is to try to mobilize the enthusiasm of these guys, so that they are willing to solve problems for themselves more sincerely and actively.
There is a lot of reason why Jiang Yan's practices are aimed at achieving this goal by opening up all kinds of rights, establishing all kinds of fair and generous welfare benefits, and even taking the initiative to show sincerity and kindness to them.
Now it seems that the results are very good.
Everyone is a smart person, and Carmon obviously felt the kindness given by Jiang Yan, and also made the correct response with great interest.
Well, don't worry that there will be a guy like a white-eyed wolf under Jiang Yan's command. Although he will not take the initiative to probe the hearts of his subordinates, with the faint induction brought by the connection of the "child machine", Jiang Yan can more or less feel what kind of true attitude the other party has towards him in his heart.
It is impossible for him to develop a white-eyed wolf after giving a favor. A guy with that kind of heart, as long as he gets along with Jiang Yan a few times, he can identify it, and when the time comes, what will happen to the other party, naturally there is no need to go into detail.
After feeling the changes in Carmon now, Jiang Yan silently removed this guy from the 'list to be investigated' in his heart, and instead divided it into the range of 'reusable'.
At the same time, Jiang Yan continued: "Yes, what do you think of this idea?"
After relieving a lot in his heart, Carmon's attitude towards Jiang Yan also relaxed a lot, and the kind of respect in his tone, which originally seemed a little deliberate, changed slightly, and became a little more sincere and natural.
"Half price...... Isn't it a little too expensive?" he pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "No, 'rare things are expensive', the preciousness of space storage is there, under normal circumstances, it is priceless, especially in the environment of this world, it is very precious. ”
Although the various transcendent technology systems in this Lingzi world are not weak, they are not very developed in the manufacture of portable space storage utensils.
Although space treasures such as 'storage rings' do exist, they are definitely not to the extent that they can be popularized in the civilian circle, and even for the middle and lower level of noble lords, this thing is a superb treasure that can be encountered but not sought. Only a truly upper-class nobleman at the level of a duke of a great country can have it.
A long-term public sale of a fantasy country as a mass commodity would not be possible under normal circumstances, at least not in a world of this level.
In the powerful world where the level of strength is extremely terrifying, such as cultivation, immortal cultivation, and gods and demons, that kind of situation may only appear.
In the final analysis, in addition to the difficulty of refining such treasures, the rarity of the core raw materials for manufacturing is the biggest reason.
"Void Crystal" is a kind of secret treasure of the best heaven and earth treasure level that will only be born by chance under certain conditions under certain conditions. Generally speaking, the 'space' thing is very stable, and even if there is a change under the impetus of manpower, the probability of condensing into an empty crystallization is also very small.
In addition to the "Void Crystal", it is not that there are no other materials that can be replaced, but without exception, these things are extremely rare and rare things, and they are all rare and unattainable for most people who have not been able to reach the realm of Heaven and Earth.
And this common sense was broken in Jiang Yan's hands. It has actually achieved the artificial mass production of "Empty Crystals"!
Well, in fact, Kamon also knows that the "Void Crystal" manufacturing technology in the hands of the Dream Realm today was only developed after combining the 'artificial energy crystal' manufacturing technology of the Demon Energy Clan. The energy used by their magic clan to open up large wormhole passages is supplied by this artificial energy crystal.
However, even without the technical inspiration of the Demon Clan, Carmon believes that this dream country can also develop the technology it needs...... After all, the other party has already gathered the conditions for independent development, and what is lacking is just some inspirational experience that can be obtained sooner or later through independent exploration.
After thinking of the magic of this dream country, Carmon also unconsciously developed a strong expectation and confidence for the future of this country, after all, he is already one of them.
It can be called 'sharing honor and disgrace'.
Although the Dream Realm's mass production capacity for the "Void Crystal" is not yet large-scale, it is only a matter of time before more and more alchemists who have mastered this manufacturing technology are trained.
Even if the finished crystallization is still defective, it is enough.
"If there is an opportunity, as long as they can afford it, even if we sell it for a high price, the customers outside will pay for it......, right? I'm not afraid of 'high prices', I'm afraid of 'prices but no market'. The more Carmon said, the brighter the light in his eyes became: "This technology, we are the first 'monopoly'!"
In the past, because of his special status, Carmon had not been exposed to much in this area, so he couldn't think of it for a while. But now, reminded by Jiang Yan, he is enlightened.
Not only is the monopoly sales based on the "Void Crystal", but there are many other violent industries that have extended on the basis of the Dream Country, and there is a lot of room for operation.
Following this line of thought, Carmon thought of one more thing: "Moreover, although the storage made by this version of the "Void Crystal" cannot guarantee a long life due to quality problems, this is exactly where we can use it!"
After all, the space storage is an auxiliary, not something that is directly used in frontal combat, such as weapons and armor, so it will not be frequently worn out and quickly replaced, and it can even be passed on from generation to generation by a wealthy family.
If you sell non-defective storage, under normal circumstances, the service life of these storage devices is very long. Then as things are sold more and more, sooner or later, it will reach the point where the demand market is relatively saturated.
At that point, unless you sell it again and again at a reduced price, there will be a problem: those who can afford it already have the goods in their hands, and those who can't afford it, no matter how much you produce, they will not pay for it.
This is not in the interest of the Dream Nation. Although the market situation does not develop to that point in a short period of time, this problem still exists.
However, if the main product is replaced with a defective version with a very limited lifespan, this problem will not exist.
After getting used to the convenience of storage, even if they know that they are going to be slaughtered repeatedly by the Dream Country, most of them will have to continue to pay for one storage after another.
"This kind of long-term buying and selling method is obviously more beneficial to the dream country. Carmon concluded.
"Well, that's right. Jiang Yan nodded with satisfaction.
Jiang Yan had already tried this method before, and the 'Rune Sumeru Bag' sold by the Red Jade Mansion over there in the Canglan Domain had similar commodity defects at the beginning, but in the end it was still selling well, and it is still continuing to bring a steady stream of huge benefits to the Red Jade Building, which has already demonstrated its feasibility!
Carmon looked at Jiang Yan: "Lord, according to this line of thought, we can already start to develop this strategy. Although the alchemy department's manufacturing efficiency for the Void Crystals is not very good now, it can first sell the defective version of the storage device to the famous nobles of various countries and make it famous. Of course, it is best to let the business staff who are more familiar with this aspect have a good summary of the specific price. As for the first public sale...... What do you think, release the news first, and then carry it out in the form of an 'auction'?" I want to talk about "The Almighty Supreme of All Worlds" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "Youyue Literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find a confidant~
