Chapter 190: The First Business
It's just that even in the private space, the two of them don't dare to say too much, after all, the two of them are not sure that they can cover up confidential things under the nose of a true god.
If it is really released, I am afraid it will attract the attention of Cthulhu Sue.
So the two just discussed some topics that would not attract attention, such as how to ensure their source of livelihood when they first arrived in an unfamiliar place.
Although the two of them have a part of the living security, this money is only enough for the two of them for a few months.
If you only rely on these funds to live, it is tantamount to sitting on a mountain and eating nothing, and the ending will definitely be tragic at that time.
Their goal is to stay here for a long time, even to get close to the core of the power of the World Destroyer, so that they can get enough information.
So in order to be able to live a normal life here, the two of them are facing a very serious problem, that is, they can't find a job.
Raleier is an alien city, but in the end it is also a city, a remnant of a city that has many functions like many cities in the mortal world
It's just that because he is an alien race established by the outer gods, his infrastructure and the direction of development of his civilization, as well as the overall environment, are different from the rest of the gods.
For example, there is no currency in circulation here, and what is used for trading and circulation here is the worship of faith.
For example, the living security money stored in Li Youcai and Kalikettka, which is not currency, but the faith value given by the outer gods or the rulers of the old days after the sacrifice to the gods.
That is, in this city, if you can give enough sacrifices to the gods you believe in, you can become a rich man and live a carefree life, and the question is how to get those sacrifices.
The most common. It was to hunt fish in the waters around L'Alleye, and to sacrifice the flesh and blood of this food to the gods.
The second is to buy low and sell high to earn the difference through various forms of transactions, after all, there is a need for services on the Rong side, and there will be room for businessmen to operate.
This in turn creates a variety of jobs, all of which are based on faith points given by the gods.
Faith Points are in complete control of the gods, both in terms of timing and quantity.
So here, the gods who are enshrined act as the central banks of the mortal world, and they orchestrate the trading market of the entire Ralaye.
In addition to the fact that faith can be used as a payment for life, its biggest role is actually that it can be exchanged for power from the outer gods to improve one's own cultivation.
Laleye is the city of Cthulhu, and the practitioners here are naturally also practitioners of the faith cultivation system.
Therefore, the ultimate purpose of sacrificing in exchange for faith is actually to win the favor of the gods, and then exchange it for power.
Thus a unique phenomenon has been formed here, in the city of Llalay, a rich man himself may have little active faith value in his hands, and he may not have a large number of goods or valuable things in his hands.
But he must have great strength, because he dedicates all the faith points he has earned to the gods he believes in, so as to improve his strength.
Of course, for those who are poor, they can only barely survive with the faith points they get, in exchange for the necessary living materials, and the remaining surplus can be used to improve their strength.
Li Youcai and Carrickt are naturally unwilling to be fishermen or farmers who grow seaweed.
Carrickett himself is the head of the Great Chamber of Commerce, and although the Chamber of Commerce was inherited from his father, he also has extremely strong management capabilities.
And the two of them happened to have some start-up capital in Kari, so after the two discussed, they decided to use their Carrie faith value as the start-up capital, and Carricket would operate it and set foot in Lalaie's business circle.
From there, the two want to create a business empire.
Li Youcai trusted Carrickett's earning ability very much, and he had witnessed the scale of the Black Ocean Chamber of Commerce with his own eyes.
Especially in recent years, the Black Ocean Chamber of Commerce has developed rapidly in the hands of Carrickett.
In the past few months, Li Youcai has witnessed this with his own eyes.
So next, Li Youcai transferred most of the faith points of the money in his identity card to Carrickett.
This identity card is also quite interesting.,As long as you set the value in it with your divine thoughts.,And then touch the two cards.,The set value will be directly transferred over.,It's very convenient.。
And now Carrickett has a considerable amount of start-up capital in his hands.
Then the two of them began to wander around the city again, and this time the awakening photon was purposeful.
It was to allow Carricket to collect business intelligence in the city of Laleye, so as to pave the way for the rise of his business empire in the future.
In this way, the two of them walked around the city for three times, and during these three hours Carrickett had been collecting the data he needed.
Finally, on the fourth morning, Calicott made her decision.
After these observations, Carricket found that the biggest difference between the city of Laleier and the Sea of Freedom was that the world in which Laleye existed was the presence of the sun.
Although this sun is not the mortal sun, but a huge luminous sphere that floats in the sea, it still has light.
Previously, because Carricket himself was a Ignorant, Li Youcai also gave up his vision when he transformed into a Ignorant, so the two did not react at the first time.
And now, when he discovers that there is light in the city, a profitable business flashes through Carrickett's mind.
The Sea of Freedom is a world without light, and if you want to have light there, you have to look for objects that emit light, or creatures that have the ability to emit light, which is the biggest gap between those who worship light and those who ignore it.
Carrickett had traveled to other realms of the Sea of Freedom, so he knew that there was a strange ore in the hands of the Light Worshippers.
One of the amazing properties of this ore is light absorption, which can absorb and store light and then release it in a specific environment.
Many light worshippers with low status who have no ability to find luminous objects but cannot emit light on their own will use these ores to go to other light worshippers to steal light."
To put it simply, it is to go around those light worshippers who can emit light on their own, and fill up the ore stores that can store light.
Then they were taken back to their homes and lit up the stones in a special way, so that the poor losers would have their own light source.
What Carrickett wants to do is this kind of light-storing stone business.
L'Aleysun is a large and prosperous metropolis with a large population, but its technological level is not very high.
Although there is a magical element that makes it very prosperous, there is no unified energy supply here.
In addition, because it is in the seawater, it is not possible to use cheap lighting equipment such as flames, after all, there is no flame in the seawater.
When it was night in Lalleye, the rich and nobles could use the night pearls or magic lamps to illuminate them, while the poor could only touch the colonel in the dark
And the kind of light storage stone that Carrickett thought of was just enough to meet the needs of ordinary people for light at night.
The most important thing is that this kind of light storage stone has a very long history in the Sea of Freedom, and in the later period, light worshippers have studied the principle of storing and releasing light from light storage stones.
And then developed an artificial light storage stone, its effect is similar to that of the natural light storage stone, the same is to absorb light and store light, and release the light source when needed.
Surrounded by the sun, L'Alleye can be charged in white and used as a lamp at night.
And the cost of this stone is not expensive, and it is safe for ordinary people to use it.
In Lalleye, if there is a magic lamp that can be lit at night, it is a status symbol.
If Carricket could make cheap light stones in large quantities here, it would definitely be able to take ordinary people by storm.
Moreover, Carricket himself is a demigod-level follower of the outer gods, and his own identity is enough to deter Susa and cut off others who snoop on this business.
Hearing Carricket's plan, Li Youcai was a little strange, you must know that you Youcai and Carricket were not the first batch of refugees to come to Lalaie, why did no one come to this business among the previous deep divers and ignorants.
Carricket explained to Li Youcai with a smile: "Most of the people who came here before were children of big families, and they didn't worry about how to make money in their lives, but devoted themselves to cultivation. ”
"I'm different, I wasn't favored in the family at the beginning, and my father chose the way to inherit the family, as you know, in order to stand out, or at least not be killed by my siblings, I have been trained everywhere. ”
"And the children of other big families who have hardly been out of the realm of the True Liberals, even if they know about the existence of the Light Reservoir Stone, I am afraid that they do not know the production method of the artificial Light Reservoir Stone, and even if they know the production method, they are likely to disdain to do such a business. ”
"And in order to be able to better manage the Black Ocean Chamber of Commerce, not only do I know most of the commodities in other territories, but I also know a thing or two about the production principles of those commodities, which naturally includes the extremely common artificial light storage stones. ”
After hearing Carricket's explanation, Li Youcai realized that most of the other demigods were disciples of the family, and the president of the Black Ocean Chamber of Commerce in front of him was from a grassroots background.
It's a bit too much to be from the grassroots, but it's definitely from the bottom, so it's not surprising.
Taking advantage of this business opportunity that no one had seized yet, Carricket used his and Li Youcai's faith to buy a large number of goods.
Because the light storage stone itself is a product of the sea, most of its raw materials can be found in Lalaie, and even if some cannot be found, they can be replaced with similar things.
In some of them, I can't find them and I don't know what to use instead, but I can also let Li Youcai use the space stomach bag from other parties to transport.
While there was a risk of exposure in doing so, it could also be explained that Li Youcai had a large stomach pouch, an ability he had plundered from the other species he had devoured before, which was not too strange for the believers of the Dream Witch.
All in all, the two hurriedly began to build their own business empires.
In addition to buying raw materials, Carrickett also used the faith to rent a stall at a market.
Then, after some preparations, this lamp shop in Carrickett opened.
The name of the shop is called the Civilian Lighting Store.
The shop sells light-storing stone lamps that are made into various shapes.
At the beginning of the opening, there were not many customers who came to the light drum, and as Carrickett had learned before, lamps and lanterns were something that only nobles and big businessmen could afford.
At night, ordinary people can only rely on their powerful night vision ability to touch the former colonel
Fortunately, the green stones that built the city of Llalayah can glow green at night, so that the commoners will not be in complete darkness when they go out into the streets
But when he returned home, he still had to touch the former colonel in the dark
After all, this kind of green cornerstone, brought by the great Cthulhu, no commoner dared to knock a piece off a statue or a building, and take it home to use as a lamp.
Therefore, the homes of ordinary people are still dark.
Even though Carricket's lamp shop is called a civilian lamp shop, it is still a lamp shop.
It's like someone hanging a sign saying that the price of cabbage is gold, but as long as you understand it, you can imagine that even if it is cheap, gold is gold, and it is impossible to really have the same price as cabbage.
So first, not a single customer entered the shop at all.
This is a civilian vegetable market, and the people who come here are ordinary people who can't afford to play with lamps, and the big nobles and big businessmen who can really play with lamps and lanterns will not come here.
Li Youcai couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw that there were no customers when he opened.
On the contrary, it was Carrickett who comforted him: "Don't worry, gold will always shine, our business is not worrying about buying and selling, you can wait with peace of mind." ”
Second, there were some people who stopped at the door to watch, but they hesitated for a while, and still did not enter the store, and even most of them did not have the urge to ask the price.
Until the third. A middle-class looking diver passes by a civilian lamp shop.
He looked at the shop with some hesitation about the extraordinarily ornate lamps carved by Carrickett and Li Youcai.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and walked into this lamp shop.
Seeing that a guest had finally arrived, Carricket greeted him with a smile and asked in a friendly manner, "Sir, what do you need?"
The guest was a little nervous and explained to Carrickett: "Well, that's right, my girlfriend has been visiting my parents' house recently, and I've always wanted her to brag about having a light in my house, so I've always wanted to save up for a lamp and not lose face in front of her." ”
"It's just that I've been to a lot of lighting stores before, and their prices are too expensive, so I want to ask you how the prices are here?"
After listening to the other party's explanation, Carrickett led him directly to an extremely gorgeous lamp, which was a one-person tall floor-standing lamp.
The entire lamp is made in the shape of a coral tree, with a total of 12 light spots from top to bottom.
The light emitted by these twelve luminous points does not irritate the human eye, but the twelve lights are superimposed, and there is enough brightness to illuminate the entire room.
Moreover, these twelve rays have extremely subtle color deviations, and finally superimposed together to form a light that is both beautiful and warm, but at the same time not dazzling.
Seeing that Carricket had led himself to such a noble lamp.
Before the customer could wait for Carrickett's introduction, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I just want to buy a lamp, I definitely can't afford this kind of large lamp." ”
Even this deep diver had the urge to run away, but he was grabbed by Karri, and he couldn't break free after breaking free several times.
This made this deep diver can't help but glance at the boss in front of him in surprise, you must know that he is a master of the silver peak.
Although he looks shy on the surface, he has no strength on his body, and he has not been able to break free from the palm of the lamp boss several times.
Then this lamp shop owner is at least a gold-level warrior, and the deep diver's heart immediately cooled half, could it be that the other party wants to buy and sell strongly? Then it seems that he is going to bleed hemorrhage today.
Carrickett didn't care about the mind of the diver, and said to him with a smile: "This gentleman, please don't worry, we are known as a civilian lamp shop here, naturally we will not sell things with inflated prices, you can come and take a look at this lamp." ”
"It's very beautiful, I don't need more, and the most important thing I think is what you care about the most, is the price. ”
"This lamp is relatively good in my store, and the price is relatively high, but you are only the first customer after we opened the store, so I am going to give you a nine-percent discount, and it is enough to charge you one hundred and eighty faith points. ”
The deep diver was still shocked by Carricket's strength at this time, and dimly heard Carricket's price tag: "One million and eight thousand faith points, this is more expensive than my house, I can't afford it." ”
Carrickett: "You heard me wrong, it's not 1.8 million for the first move, it's 180 faith points for it. ”
This time, the deep diver finally heard Carricket's price clearly, and the whole person froze for two seconds, and asked in disbelief, "One hundred and eighty points is enough?"
This made him suspect that there was something wrong with his ears, and you must know that the reason why lamps and lanterns have become the playthings of big businessmen is because of the most ordinary light bulbs, which are calculated in tens of thousands.
The deep diver is now discussing marriage with his partner, and needs money at every turn.
If he is really asked to spend tens of thousands of faith points to buy a lamp, it will have an impact on his quality of life in the future.
And now that he heard that such a good-looking floor-to-ceiling one-person tall coral lamp was enough for only one hundred and eighty faith points, it was no wonder that he was shocked.
Carricket naturally knew why the other party was shocked, but he didn't break it, but still said with a smile: "Sir, because you are the first customer, I have already given you a nine-percent discount." ”
"This is already the lowest price I can offer, and if you still think it's expensive, I can only advise you to consider other lamps. ”
The applicant finally came back to his senses and confirmed again and again, and determined that the lamp in front of him only had a faith value of 180 points, not 180,000 or 1.8 million.
Aricht is also in three, yes, as long as one hundred and eighty faith points, this lamp can be packed and taken away.
The Deep Diver customer began to think in his heart, and soon he "understood" the crux of the matter, he had just heard that the Carricket shop had just opened, and it was clear that the clerk in front of him had just been hired.
The owner of this store must have taken a fancy to his strength and asked him to be a bodyguard or something, and after he worked part-time as a salesman, he misremembered the price.
Selling the noble lamp so cheaply, I am afraid that even if this thing is sold, he will be scolded by the boss and even fired.
But the diver does have a great dilemma to solve, and if there are no lamps at home, it is likely that his object will be ruined.
The applicant gritted his teeth and said to Carrickett, "I bought this lamp." ”
In fact, he really didn't want to buy it here, not because he was afraid of being deceived, or because the owner of the lamp store would come to him in the future and chase him for money.
You must know that the city of L'Elleh is forever under the watchful eye of the great Cthulhu, although Cthulhu wants the world to be destroyed, but for his base camp, it still wants to maintain a certain order.
After all, only when order is maintained can Laleier be able to continuously provide it with sacrifices of faith to enhance his strength.
Therefore, as long as it is within the boundaries of the city of Lalleye, the agreement between the two parties cannot be reversed, and it is not possible to use force to fight for other goods and property, which will be punished by the great Cthulhu.
Because of this, the young diver was actually full of guilt, because as long as this business was completed, the clerk in front of him was afraid that he would be fired by his boss.
But for the sake of his future happiness and love, this deep diver can't care so much.
He hurriedly completed the deal with Carrickett, picked up the coral lamp and turned around and went out.
Li Youcai watched Carricket complete the deal, and said to him with some puzzlement: "Look at the Rao reaction just now, you sell these things for tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, and no one should buy them, why do you want to buy them so cheap?"
Carrickett: "Making money has never been the ultimate goal of my business, don't you think that when that person is happy because of this lamp, you will get a great sense of accomplishment?"
Li Youcai looked at Carricket seriously, this was the first time he felt that Carricket would have feelings and human feelings.
Feeling Li Youcai's gaze, Carricket smiled: "I know what you're thinking, people like me can have feelings and think about others?"
The first is the latest.
