Section 7: Bundling of Interests (II)
The large table is covered with all kinds of cards and counters, and each person has an item called a 'character card' in front of him.
Dice are played, chips, character figures, event cards, and a large map for the game is placed in the center of the table.
"Ahh It's already dawn. ”
A group of adventurers gathered around the table had just finished selling their cattle and noticed the darkness outside the window that had not yet risen the morning sun, and although it was not enough to say that there were dark circles under their eyes, the faces of Akiwa Yuba and Miyagawa Hinata still had a tired look.
Is it dawn?
Isn't that weird? It's normal!
Fork Bao and Fat Chuang have long been accustomed to this.
It's a multiplayer board game on a bit scale...
Explain the rules of the beginner for one hour, meet the stupid blunt point for two hours, and play for 3~4 hours, and the eastern sky will be white after two games of board games.
On the table, the 'Great West Rail' fork bag that had not yet been put away picked up a cow card and asked with a smile: "How do you feel?" There should be a market for board games on your side (Akihabara), right? It's not like our side is still tense, and it doesn't let people have the leisure to entertain at all. ”
On the shelf beside him was a box full of board games.
It's all the result of their reproduction of memories and impressions into this world.,But there's no special feeling when you play it for the first time.,In fact, the newly reproduced game undoubtedly belongs to the category of village rules in terms of the rules.,But it's not a problem.。
"This can be expected." to respond.
Although Qiuting Xiye has just entered the pit, he has already recognized the market of board games in his heart.
For adventurers who used to have a variety of entertainment methods such as computers, mobile phones, and movies, the way of entertainment has been reduced to stage opera, and the most fashionable thing is nothing more than the situation of the radio station.
If it's still like the tense atmosphere in front of the park, people don't have the heart to think about entertainment.
However, the situation in Akihabara, which has been in the middle of the peace for half a year, is different, and the basic problem of survival and clothing is solved, and the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable, and all kinds of things that everyone has suppressed in their hearts will blow out.
Adventure genre games may not be as appealing (after all, they are now in fantasy RPG worlds), but adventurers' need for entertainment hasn't changed.
After thinking about it in his heart, Qiu Ting Xiye walked to the edge of the shelf where the board game was placed and said, "Fork bag, you can get ten or twenty models according to the type of theme and the difficulty of getting started!" ”
"If you can't let your brand occupy a share of the market, you will only become a pioneer who helps others open the way, but I think since you have proposed this business, you should also be prepared."
"Look at what you said!" Fei Chuang casually took out a box of board games from the shelf and responded: "As far as the mainstream is concerned, we have reproduced the popular ones on the market, including the strategy, management, and role games. ”
"Of course, it doesn't mean that you can help, just go to Akihabara to get a storefront and set up a shelf, and we will open a board game bar over there as a promotion to let players over there accept our products."
A simple conversation to get a general idea of what the other party thinks.,Of course, the girl is supportive of the students' plans.。
Xianban's side did not hesitate to act after confirming that he had overseas connections as a help.
Out of the woo, of course, Garan Garden will vigorously support and promote it to become an important profit point for the HHH group, and in Akiwa Yuba's opinion, there is nothing better than a stable profit to consolidate the friendship between himself and his old classmates.
The turbulent environment can't keep capital, and there must be a lot of adventurers (players) in front of the park who are tired of this atmosphere, right?
Maybe it was because he saw the girl's absent-mindedness, or maybe it was a sleepy relationship after an all-nighter, and the two sides agreed roughly on it verbally before saying goodbye and parting.
Walk down the early morning street back to the station.
The stomach "gurgling~" sounds, but unfortunately the streets on both sides of the street seem to be separated by shops, and all the entrances are closed, and some places are piled up with debris or rubble from collapsed buildings like the background of the game before the apocalypse.
"It's so lonely! In Akihabara, at this time, people have already opened shops and are ready to do business, right? ”
Autumn garden Yuba is talking about the crescent moon diet and restaurants of different sizes.
Because of the ringing of the stomach, I realized that this economic center, which has a long history in the south of the Celestial Empire, seems to be so depressed at this time (in the game).
Therefore, it also strengthened the girl's temporary thought in her heart, that is, to attract adventurers in the place in a planned way to strengthen her own strength.
Returning to the station, I slept with Miyagawa Hinata beautifully.
Just in front of the park, the armored cruiser USS United was planning to recruit people to replenish the team, and on the other side, the armored cruiser USS United Force was undoubtedly causing an earthquake.
The Silver Leaf Heavy Manufacturing Plant, where Akihabara is located, is shrouded in night.
The sleepy-faced Daolong, Karasin, and Loderick came to the factory conference room full of resentment.
Daolong: "Hmph! "A butt made on a chair, without any good face at all.
Karasin and Lodrik are roughly the same, after all, as the presidents of the three major production guilds, the three of them can be said to have a lot of opportunities. After a tiring day, I was suddenly woken up by someone in the early morning and ran to the factory with emergency communication, can I feel good?
The other party didn't dare to play tricks on them, so they rushed over as soon as they received the emergency contact.
Loderick sat down and asked, "Is there something wrong with Garan's second boss calling us over in the early hours of the morning?" ”
However, after the three of them saw that Cuicui also looked like she had just woken up and woke up in her sleep like herself, her tone was also kind.
Karasin also made a joke to adjust the atmosphere: "Could it be that the dangerous goods stored in the storage warehouse have exploded?" We didn't hear the explosions or the fires when we came. ”
"Just now I received a message from the returning United Forces, President that guy is playing big, otherwise I wouldn't have called you up in the middle of the night."
Seeing that Cuicui was not joking, Daolong, Karasin, and Loderick all straightened their sitting postures, and their attitudes were obviously serious.
"First of all, I want to explain that the production plan of Silver Leaf Heavy Industries has been misled by the Free City Alliance Istal, and there is a serious misjudgment of market demand."
Karasin's brows furrowed and he asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Since the evaluation of the market is basically done by the eighth shopping street in Karasin, I can't help but be careful.
"Because of the existence of our Round Table Council, and the obligation to stabilize the regional order, the local lords do not need much weaponry to arm themselves." Cuicui couldn't help but raise her hand to support her forehead when she said this, and then after gritting her teeth, she raised her head and looked at the other party and said: "Although the detailed situation is still on the returning ship, but through Yalai's contact, I have roughly understood that the artillery in the Nanyue region is extremely huge, and so far there have been 800 orders, including supporting facilities, etc., which is about 250,000 gold coins, and according to the assessment over there, it should reach about 40 million if you dig deep into the market." ”
"What! How much do you say!? ”
At this moment, the drowsiness on the heads of the three major production guilds has completely disappeared, and not only that.
The deputies present all looked at Cuicui in astonishment, as if they had misheard.
"Na! Cuicui. After grinding for a while, he asked: "It took us nearly a month or more to get more than 30 million gold coins through threats and other means and negotiations?" How long has that guy been in the past? It's only been about half a month, right? Did she point her naval guns at others and force them to sign this order? ”
"I don't know, the devil knows what's going on over there until Arei goes ashore and reports the details."
Cuicui waved her hand, "Let's not talk about this yet!" Then he turned back to Daolong, Karasin, and Lodelik and said formally: "This time I called everyone late at night for two purposes, the first is to ask the factory to enter the mobilization situation, and the second is to discuss the matter of increasing capital and shares. ”
Hearing these two points, the three of them nodded in agreement without an opinion.
If the overseas news brought back by Yalai is true, there is no doubt that it will increase investment and expand production.
The initial investment of Silver Leaf Heavy Manufacturing totaled 8 million gold coins, and the market value once exceeded 21 million gold coins under the stimulation of the arms purchase agreement of the Free City Alliance Easter, and the current market value has stabilized around 18 million gold coins, but it can be seen that once the news of the huge military purchase in the Nanyue region spreads, the market value will definitely soar again like a rocket.
At present, the four major shareholders of Silver Leaf Heavy Manufacturing (15% of Garan Garden, Marine Agency, Eighth Store, and Loderick Chamber of Commerce 20% each) gathered urgently in the early morning in order to divide this tempting big cake.
"According to the situation in the Celestial Empire Continent, there are already 30 million in Nanyue alone, and it seems that it is not difficult to achieve a trade volume of more than 100 million." Karasin smiled happily and said casually, "So are you going to open four more or eight more lines?" ”
Instead, Loderick groaned and objected, saying, "Hmm... I think the top priority should be to upgrade the existing production line, at present our production mode is still in a semi-manual workshop production state, I think we should take this opportunity to enter the modern assembly line production mode, get rid of the excessive reliance on adventurer (player) skills, and expand the proportion of earthlings involved in production. ”
"I think Loderick has a point, it's really not easy to expand blindly at the moment."
After pondering for a moment, Dowlon echoed Loderick's opinion, forming a disagreement with Cuicui and Karasin, who advocated a massive expansion of production.
However, this difference of opinion did not affect the relationship between the four guilds, after all, profit is the last material to bridge the rift and cover up the contradiction, and until the four of them discussed the whitening of the sea level in the east, they had preliminarily decided on the expansion of 120,000 gold coins, including upgrading the existing production line, adding two production lines and supporting the factory building.
The armored cruiser USS United Forces, which did not wait for the news to be brought back, returned to port.
The share of 18 million gold coins had already been internally digested by the internal members of the 'Round Table Council' that dominated Akihabara and the four guilds of Silver Leaf Heavy Manufacturing, and by the time the news spread outside, it was already out of stock and hard to find.
Eventually, Silver Leaf Heavy Manufacturing's shareholding ratio became 12% for Garan Garden, 20% for the Marine Agency, 15% for the Eighth Shop, 15% for the Lodrik Chamber of Commerce, 10% for the rest of the seats in the Round Table Council, 12% for the old retail investors, and 18% for the individual retail investors affiliated with the members of the Round Table Council Guild (8% for the Garan Garden, 48% for the Marine Agency, 16% for the Eighth Shop, 13% for the Lodrik Chamber of Commerce, and 15% for the rest of the Round Table Council)
Not to mention that after the binding of interests, the 12-seat guilds of the Round Table Council have become more close, and they have gotten rid of the previous state of negotiating and resolving things only when there is something to do, and each playing its own role when there is nothing to do.
The most obvious thing is that as the most direct beneficiaries, the guild members of the four guilds of the Garan Garden, the Marine Agency, the Eighth Shop, and the Lodrich Chamber of Commerce, these adventurers who participated and occupied the vast majority of the internal digestion have gained a lot of benefits from the influence of the guild, and it can be said that the internal cohesion has been unprecedentedly improved.
Not only are the old members more united, but the new members are also genuinely identifying with their guilds.
Qiu Ting Xiye, who was far away in front of the park, did not know what was happening in his old nest, otherwise he would have sighed at the unity and harmony of the 'Round Table Council' without distinguishing between each other, you have me, and I have you.
Akiwa Yuba didn't expect the rear at all, but she had already done what she wanted to do in front of the park, and sometimes things went so wonderfully.
