Chapter 623: Traffic jam

[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site" ", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] Since the beginning of the game, Fang Jie has not taken the normal route, so he is not very clear about some of the basic systems of the game, and through some dialogue. He learned from Lao Sun Tou that the running merchant system is a means of making huge profits in the game, giving ordinary players the opportunity to make money, learn martial arts, and improve their talents. A relatively fair environment has been built between Rm** players and Rm** players, of course, rich people don't have to spend a lot of time running businesses to make money, but players without money may not be able to fill up their talents and learn good martial arts, which is a basic principle that the game system has always adhered to: diligence can make up for clumsiness. Efficiency and money are interchangeable.

Of course, although it is very profitable to run merchants, especially popular goods, it is not without restrictions. Next, Lao Sun Tou mentioned that it would not be possible to transport popular goods from Yangzhou City in the south to Hetuara City in the north for a month, because it could not be transported when running merchants, and the distance was too long. Even if you hurry up and rush day and night, it is impossible to catch up, which has been verified by many runners and players at a loss.

Therefore, running popular goods depends on the cooperation and logistics management between runners and players, in general, there are two types of runners in the whole Jianghu, one is from ** city to Hetuara city, that is, in the pass. The long-distance line outside the gate is also the line that Lao Sun Tou is running now; The second is the medium and short-distance routes between various cities in the Guannai, such as the Foshan-Hengyang-Yangzhou line in the south, and the Dali-Kunming-Jingzhou-Xiangyang-Luoyang line in the southwest...... Wait a minute.

This kind of line is different from the line outside the customs and will often be adjusted accordingly according to the situation of the popular goods in each city, which is characterized by flexibility, the distance is relatively short, the time is relatively small, and the popular goods between the two cities can be completed within a month, and even can run back and forth. However, the corresponding profits are also relatively small, and many of the 5o-1oo popular runners mentioned by Old Man Sun are 5o times the bottom 5O times, and sometimes even only about 3O-4O times the profits.

However, if you want to run outside the customs to be popular, you must rely on the merchants in the customs.

Every month, the bazaar in each city will refresh a fixed amount of popular goods, although these goods may not be popular goods in Hetuara City this month, but maybe next month will be, so the players in the customs are in the process of running the popularity. If the destination is **, sometimes some non-popular goods will be shipped over and sold at a higher price to some reselling player middlemen in the city, and the next month after the popular refresh. When these middlemen have the popular goods of Hetuara City on hand, they resell them to the runners outside the customs at a high price, so that although the profits of the runners outside the customs are diluted, they do not have to purchase goods from Yangzhou City, which saves a lot of time and makes the popular runners outside the customs feasible**.

Fang Jie had a question in this, thinking to himself, since the popular players in the customs can earn at least 3o-4o times the profit, why do these players in the customs run merchants sell non-popular goods to middlemen by the way? Wouldn't it be more profitable to bring all the trendy goods with you?

Lao Suntou's explanation for this is that the popular goods in each city are fixed every month, that is, there is only a quota of 1oo million sets of weight for each type of goods. Don't look at the 1oo 10,000-point weight, it sounds scary. There are so many runners in the customs business, if one person transports a little, the 1oo million loads of popular goods will be divided up at once, and those who are late and do not enter or are not full of popular goods can only get some other goods to press the road, but despite this, these goods are transported to the destination at least 5-1o times the profit, if there is a middleman acquisition, sometimes it can even reach 2o times the profit, not a loss, but also for the convenience of players outside the gate.

After listening to these introductions, Fang Jie couldn't help but be secretly speechless, daring to love the merchant system in the game has formed a relatively mature industry, not only there are special restocking runners, there are intermediaries specializing in logistics, but also related to external terminal runners, which also has by-products, player escorts and player horse thieves, it is really the world's biggest, there are no surprises, it is hard to imagine that this will appear in a virtual reality online game.

Just when Fang Jie sighed, the old grandson smiled proudly and said, "Hey, so I said, there are many friends in this mall, there are many roads." Other people enter the popular goods from the ** city and often can't buy them, and even if they do, they can't fill the warehouse. After all, there are hundreds of popular goods, those middlemen are purely lucky, and there may not be this month's popular goods at hand, but there are many apprentices and grandchildren of the merchants in the customs, and those people can always give me some popular goods in terms of friendship, so every trip down is always not a loss. ”

"I see!" Fang Jie couldn't help but be impressed.

If Fang Jie used to think that Lao Sun Tou was just sincere to others, then now in addition to this, he feels that the other party is very shrewd and quite business-minded, although it is now a material society, everything talks about interests, but most of the benefits that can bring rich benefits rely on connections and relationships. Lao Sun Tou's trick is all over the world, it can be said that he has grasped the essence of connections, and other people will make 5o times the profit after a trip, and he will go down a trip. You can make a hundred times the profit without saying a word, and Fang Jie can only sigh to himself in this regard.

It seems that because Fang Jie has a very good impression, Lao Sun Tou did not hide his experience at all: "If you want to run a business, I suggest you run the customs first, because the distance is short." The danger is small, you can first familiarize yourself with the process, learn some experience, and wait for the business skills to be high, and then come to run outside the level, so as not to lose all your money! ”

"I'm a businessman?" Fang Jie was stunned, although he was more interested in running business, but he didn't plan to delay a lot of time to do it, it was just a whim beforehand, but after understanding the game, maybe he would use it, but at present, how can he have this plan, there are still more than 2o billion in the money bank, and there are more than 200 million put there, to quote a sentence, it is - we are not short of money!

However, in front of the old grandson, Fang Jie was not good at telling the truth, and shocked the other party's interest, so he just looked around and asked along the topic: "I always hear you say that running a business is dangerous, but I don't think it's dangerous?" ”

"Hehe" Old Sun Tou was amused by Fang Jie's ignorance, and couldn't help laughing: "This running merchant is actually the same as you martial arts players doing tasks, when you do sect tasks, whether there is npnetpnetpc sent by the system, not to mention, as for those players, some of them are purely to kill people and sell goods, but more of them are coming after receiving special sect tasks, and when the time comes, either he dies or I die, and I die, there is nothing, this large pile of goods is gone, and there will be no return!" ”

"So that's ......," Fang Jie nodded knowingly, thinking that this would be tantamount to making martial arts players interact with runner players, although it wouldn't hurt the bones of runner players to lose goods once. But it also has to bleed once, but if the martial arts player fails to rob and be killed, it is also a very depressing thing, this is the PK system that the game system has painstakingly created, what are you, hello, I am good, everyone, there is not much living space in this system, in the end, it is to see whose money is more capable of ** a large number of master guards, or whose martial arts are high-level and capable of fighting a hundred - this is more like a river and lake.

Thinking of this, Fang Jie looked around again, counted and counted, but now that there were less than twenty caravan guards with more than a hundred carriages, plus him, this manpower seemed to be a little too small, right? With this thought, Fang Jie couldn't help but ask, "Your old merchant team has at least a hundred or two carriages, right?" But only ** twenty guards will encounter a situation, will they not be able to take care of it? ”

Old Sun Tou smiled and said, "The carriage has an attached NPC, and the coachman doesn't need us players to drive it personally...... Twenty people really can't take care of it, but look at ......"

Speaking of this, Lao Sun raised his head and pointed around. Fang Jie took a look, and saw that there were other caravans around the caravan hurrying slowly, and some of these caravans were not very manpowered, seeing this, Fang Jie seemed to have guessed something, and the old grandson also gave an answer in time: "There is an unwritten rule on this line." That is, once a caravan encounters robbers, the nearby caravans are obliged to send people to help, and my caravan is not manpowered, but what about adding up the escorts of other caravans? Hey, speaking of which, this rule was the first thing I set at the beginning, and when I encountered other caravans, I sent someone to help, and as a result, everyone did it. ”

"This ......" Fang Jie glanced at the old Sun Tou with admiration, in his eyes as a realist, this kind of rule of voluntary help is simply impossible to exist, after all, people now have the mentality of sweeping the snow in front of the door, but the facts tell him that this impossible thing was born in front of his eyes, and it is this old Sun Tou who advocates the boat. Fang Jie had to admit that this touched him a lot, and he felt that there was still a better side to this Jianghu.

However, it didn't take long for this beautiful feeling to be shattered by an incident that people have long been accustomed to in reality - traffic jams!

The game is not as good as reality, there are no one-way streets, traffic lights, and traffic police, and npnetpc officers and soldiers are within the scope of their duties, so although the official road is wide enough, it can't withstand the crowds of running businessmen gathered together, especially some people are born with the kind of scum who have no social morality, and they do whatever they want without the constraints of the management mechanism.

In fact, after years of running-in, the runners in the game have gradually formed a traffic **, that is, similar to the real high-speed driving rules, the official road of five carriages in parallel is divided into five driving lines, the middle driving line is used as the emergency passage, and the two lines on both sides are used as round-trip driving lines, and these two driving lines are divided into fast lanes and slow lanes, and the farthest is the slow lane. (eb users please land, .net download TxT format novel mobile phone users land; The reason why there are fast and slow lanes is because according to the skill level of the runner and the amount of money invested, single-wheeled, two-wheeled and four-wheeled trucks can be rented or purchased from various city markets, and the weight of different levels of trucks is different, and the endurance loss of horses is also different. You can also increase the number of horses to improve the degree of transportation, and the runner can also adjust the degree according to the actual situation to save the horse's endurance. In short, in this way, there is a difference in the progress of the trip, and the fast lane used for the "car" is born.

This was originally the default of almost all runners**, after all, no one wants to see a chaotic traffic situation affect their own runners' plans, but this is just like queuing up in the cafeteria to buy food or buying tickets at the station in reality, there are always some social scum with low quality, moral turpitude, and relying on their own skin thicker than the city wall, ignoring the reality of public morality, not to mention the game that speaks with their fists, not to mention that what makes Fang Jie depressed is that he has encountered this kind of disgusting thing now.

The cause of the matter is actually very simple, it is the kind of scum mentioned earlier, occupying the fast lane, but moving slowly like a snail, which is nothing, after all, there are not always people on the slow lane, and sometimes they can be used as a lane. But the question is. The degree of this caravan is exactly the same as that of a caravan in the slow lane, and after the two teams come side by side, the caravan behind them will not be able to pass.

What if there is no way to pass? The people in the back began to be anxious, thinking that if you broke the rules in front of you, then I would be welcome, and immediately led the team to the emergency passage in the middle, wanting to pass quickly. But the problem came out again, once or twice, and there was no problem, but there were always some caravans whose degrees were not much faster than the scum caravans in front, and those caravans that were fast in the back were gradually blocked behind.

If things continued to evolve, it would be out of control, and some caravans drove directly to the opposite side of the official road, blocking all the passages to and fro, and as a result, thousands of carriages were lying on the official road, and no one was willing to take a step back. The situation is almost no different from the big traffic jam in reality, if there is a little difference, that is, if you don't solve the problem yourself. This is possible for a year, after all, there is no law enforcement traffic police here to deduct fines and points, and there is no trailer to tow these wagons full of goods away.

Seeing that the front was jammed, the busy trucks couldn't be seen at all, and Bian Fangjie said extremely depressedly: "When will this be blocked!" Can't you just leave the official road? ”

Although the old grandson was already surprised by this, he still couldn't help but sigh and said, "Alas! I have no choice but to consider myself unlucky. Now you know why you don't necessarily catch an epidemic once a month, right? It's not impossible to walk from the side of the official road, but it's a little better in the pass, you see, both sides of the official road are icy and snowy, and the horses entering the snow not to mention the impact will also lose a lot of stamina. This endurance is money, and it needs to be supplemented with forage, which is fine, if it is in the snow for a long time, the horses are tired and died, but the goods are not delivered, then it is really called every day, and the earth is not working! ”

Speaking of this, the old grandson seemed to be a little unfinished and said, "Besides...... Alas, this person doesn't want to suffer, especially when he hasn't done anything wrong, and he can't stand being wronged. Who wants to let themselves suffer because others have no public morality? ”

Fang Jie nodded approvingly, "Hmm." If it were me, I wouldn't want to suffer this kind of loss in vain, and if I want to say that the responsibility should be borne by that scum, I am only a victim. ”

"That's what I said." Old Sun Tou glanced at Fang Jie very understandingly, but said, "Isn't there a saying called taking a step back and opening the sky?" What's the big deal about suffering a temporary loss. Could it be that everyone will be better off after being stuck here for a year? ”

Hearing this, Fang Jie smiled disapprecatingly. said: "Boy, I'm not as open-minded as you are. I do things with all my conscience, worthy of others, and worthy of myself, the so-called people fight for a breath, some things I can take a step back, some things I can't retreat from no matter what......" Speaking of this, Fang Jie thought about it and asked tentatively: "Since you always say that, do you want to go down the official road and continue to move forward?" ”

The old grandson smiled bitterly: "You kid deliberately squeezed me?" I want to leave the official road, but my horses can't stand it, after running for so many years, I have asked for a set of the most economical and efficient running business plan, if I get off the official road, I'm afraid the team can't get to the front of Ningyuan Town, so I have to take a break! ”

Fang Jie couldn't help but laugh and said proudly: "Yes, so I said that some things can't be retreated, and sometimes you have to fight!" ”

"Fight? How to fight? The old grandson was slightly stunned, but he guessed something, and hurriedly grabbed the reins in Fang Jie's hand, and warned in a low voice: "You kid, don't come nonsense!" geezer

I've seen more of the world than you've eaten, and some things aren't as simple as you think......"

Speaking of this, the old grandson looked left and right for a while, and then used his shallow internal strength to transmit the secret voice: "The boy is not an old man, I look down on you, you can't fight for this." Usually, there are occasional things like this on this official road, and since the caravan in front of him dares to block the road, it is definitely a bit confident. I have encountered this situation once before, and people are relying on being disciples of the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau. There is someone behind it...... You may not know it yet. Zhenyuan Dart Bureau is on the official road of the **-Ningyuan-line, that is, a tyrant, and after provoking them, this line will not be able to run. ”

"Zhenyuan Dart Bureau?" Fang Jie was slightly stunned. Xindao: "The helm of the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau is in ** City." And it's reasonable to do the kind of dart and running business, and it makes sense to control this running business route......"

Seeing that Fang Jie was silent, the old grandson thought that Fang Jie was scared, and hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "The people in the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau don't pay attention to the rules, grabbing the road and blocking the road are just a trivial matter, and when you arrive in Ningyuan Town, you will know, just such a broken checkpoint, enter the city, each carriage has to pay 1oo taels of gold toll, the cost of eating, drinking, Lasa and sleeping in the town is a hundred times more expensive than other towns, you are not convinced, you can only endure it, otherwise even your goods will be confiscated."

"And that kind of thing?"

Although Fang Jie did not object to this kind of disguised collection of protection fees, he also felt that the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau's fees were too dark, and when he was about to say something, he saw that the caravan blocked in the middle of the road actually began to slowly squirm forward, and at this moment. I saw a horse galloping forward with billowing dust and smoke, and immediately the man repeated in a loud voice every time he walked a certain way: "Passing caravans, please pay attention to keep in formation!" We are the law enforcement brigade of the Hu family outside the Guanwai. The road ahead has been cleared, please consciously abide by the traffic laws! ”

Hearing this nondescript shout, Fang Jie couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Huh? Guanwai Hu family? That's right, this should be the Hu family's sphere of influence......"
