Twenty-eight-year-old Pellelot, a self-reliant traveling merchant who has been a solo traveler for several years, yawns unconsciously in a guided transporter.

After a few days of traveling, I barely had normal sleep, just took time to take a few naps.

Because he has a very difficult mission on his shoulders, he has to earn money and earn enough money to buy something called freedom for his family.

Before going to the location marked by the treasure map, the 'Forgotten Lake' in the middle of this forest, stayed for about an hour and a half, circled around the lake for a small half circle, and didn't see any clues, he even stripped naked, dived into the bottom of the lake to wake up, and as a result, it was naturally nothing.

Either the treasure map is fake, or the treasure has already been taken, or the treasure is still at the bottom of the 'Lake of Forgotten Life', which will be time-consuming and laborious to search, and it is absolutely impossible for Pelelot to spend energy and time on the treasure hunt.

If he wants to have this energy, he might as well continue to travel and do a few business.

A successful merchant would not waste his time on the impossible, and when he was ready to return to Kalmat, he sold the treasure map to a treasure hunter for a high price. Or to a treasure hunting organization.

The value of a treasure map can be seen by those treasure hunters.

From the material, the age, the handwriting, the topography...... And so much more information can see the value of it.

Of course, there are also people who buy at a loss, or go and don't find anything at all, and spend time and money in vain.

But for those treasure hunters, it's their business, and if you find it once, it's worth anything. The older something is, the more valuable it is. Antiques are highly valued in the antiques market, especially those that are well preserved and have not been damaged.

So Pelelot can choose to sell to the treasure hunters of the individual groups on the exchange, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to sell.

The Treasure Hunt Guild has a rule that the treasure found in the treasure map bought by the members themselves belongs to the individual.

Of course, you can also choose to give it to the treasure hunting guild, and they will send members to hunt for treasure, and the person who provides the treasure map will sit back and enjoy it, if you don't find the treasure, you will naturally find nothing, if you find it, then the treasure hunt guild and the person who provides the treasure map will get a share, the treasure hunt guild will be thirty percent, and the person who provides the treasure map will get two percent.

Each treasure map will be kept in the vault, and if it is repeated, the treasure hunt guild will naturally tell you that the treasure map is already there, the treasure has been found, or that there is no treasure at all.

Selling it to an individual group would be equivalent to buying it out, and giving it to the Treasure Hunt Guild, and if they found the treasure, Pelelot would get a 20% share.

This in itself is a gamble, whether it is a small profit or a sudden rich, or nothing.

For Pellelot, of course, that was the choice...... It's a small profit!

After all, this treasure map also requires a cost, and if nothing is found, wouldn't it be a waste of money?

Pellelot wouldn't choose to lose all his money like this.

However, whether it is to sell a personal treasure hunt organization or hand it over to the treasure hunting guild, it needs to be matched firmly, whether the treasure hunting guild has registered this treasure map, if it has already been registered, then no one wants it.

These are of course things to consider back in the city of Kalmat.

Now he was going to drive along the trail first and see where the end of the man-made paved road led.

If there are roads, there must be isolated villages, this is the intuition of merchants.

Of course, the map does not show that there are any villages in the vicinity of the forest next to Kalmat.

But Pellelot was well aware that some villages were deliberately not labeled, such as the city he had visited, where wine was abundant, but the most famous and expensive wine was not made by the big wineries in the city, but by a small village next to them that had been growing grapes for hundreds of years. Originally, there were wines made 50 or 60 years ago.

As a result, the wine was bought at a low price by the profiteers and then resold at thousands of times the price.

What businessman makes the most money, it is naturally a profiteer.

Buy goods from people who don't know the market at unimaginably low prices, and sell them at a high price. This is a very lucrative business.

Sometimes, the principal is multiplied dozens of times, and that is also a very easy thing.

Therefore, the maps used by ordinary people on the market today will not tell you the location of those villages, lest people with intentions will explore the past to dig up some trade secrets, you know, depict these maps, make these maps and sell them, and those maps that are put on the Internet, who is doing these things, that is the businessman.

Naturally, they want to bring the tourist consumer group to the place where their chamber of commerce sells goods.

Obviously, the price of tens of thousands of Star Glory Coins is not enough to buy anything in those big cities, but when I go to those villages and towns, it is an emperor-like enjoyment.

People are not stupid, one is to spend tens of thousands of dollars and be treated as a turtle, and the other is to spend thousands to be an uncle and tens of thousands to be an emperor.

Those who only have a budget of a few thousand or tens of thousands of tourists will naturally know how to choose.

If this is the case, the merchants still make a lot of money, and after some things are known by others, then no one will pay a high price to buy them.

After all, there are only a few people in the world who are stupid and have a lot of money.

If most people knew that the things of a few Star Glory Coins were bought by the merchants of the Chamber of Commerce, they would be sold for hundreds, thousands......

When you buy it, you will have palpitations, is it really appropriate to spend so much money to buy? More likely to ask, where are the Stars Shower Coins sold?

This is the normal reaction of the human heart.

If you don't know it, you may feel cheap when you have thousands of Star Glory Coins, and you will be crazy to grab it if you come to a discount promotion, if you know that its original value is only a few Star Glory Coins, no one will be crazy about it.

However, businessmen will think that other people's goods are counterfeits, pirated copies, and fakes...... to fight back.

Merchants have money, others smash a small wave, businessmen use money to smash out stormy waves, no means, how to be a profiteer...... Profiteers also have to be credible as a cover-up.

The Chamber of Commerce has an ironclad rule, that is, a businessman must be reputable, which is the basic and most important one.

In recent years, with the rise of online public opinion, people often secretly expose the purchase price of businessmen, as well as the price sold by businessmen.

At first, people didn't believe it, what, something that was priced at 50 Stars could be sold for 5,000 Stars? It's not just.

Today's most popular communicator, Banana 4S, originally cost only 7,000 Xingyao coins, but it was sold for hundreds of thousands, but those banana fans felt that it was too much and could not be forgiven.

Some people were stupid when they heard the news, and they almost cried and shouted, their foreheads dripping their kidneys......

Later, more and more exposure aroused public opinion, and they boycotted the Chamber of Commerce together, and did not buy anything from the Chamber of Commerce......

But this can't last long, don't you buy daily necessities, don't you want those ingredients? Do you want to live?

Boycott, that is to be based on the premise of not affecting life, feel that this matter is very excessive to boycott, don't you buy the things of the Chamber of Commerce, they will go out of business? It doesn't ......

But the speed at which the Chamber of Commerce dealt with this matter was very fast, and it was not difficult to imagine what a figure the president of the Chamber of Commerce was.

After investigation, it will be found that the suppliers who are exposed on the Internet are actually the suppliers who sell the goods to the merchants, and watch their goods sold to the merchants at a low price, but the merchants sell them at dozens or hundreds of times the price, and anyone will have an imbalance in their hearts.

There is such a provision in the confidentiality agreement that the price of the supply to the merchant shall not be disclosed to the outside world without authorization, otherwise it will be blocked by the Chamber of Commerce.

There are always some bold delusions to challenge the strength of the Chamber of Commerce.

Do they think that in other cities, if they ask a passer-by to post something through a communicator and spread the truth of some facts, they will not be found out that they did it, and they can pretend to be innocent in front of the Chamber of Commerce? That would be naïve.

They also finally realized what a terrifying existence the Chamber of Commerce was, and what kind of power it had.

As long as they put pressure on them, these suppliers will not survive.

The Chamber of Commerce also stipulates that when trading with merchants, you must sign a confidentiality agreement, and at the same time, you cannot sell wholesale to others except for people from the Chamber of Commerce.

This is a bit of a feeling of buying and selling, and bullying others.

But that was a long time ago.

The Chamber of Commerce now allows competition between merchants, which greatly benefits the vendors and the traveling merchants.

As long as they are merchants of the Chamber of Commerce, they can negotiate and can choose to sell to merchants of other Chambers of Commerce at a price of 10% to 20% higher than the agreed supply price.

In the past, suppliers could not sell goods to anyone other than their partners in the Chamber of Commerce, not even the merchants of the Chamber of Commerce. The uniqueness of the cooperation agreement must be respected.

Traveling merchants who want to reload their goods are also running into walls everywhere.

Now, even if a cooperation agreement has been signed, traveling merchants can buy goods for 10 to 20 percent more than 10 percent or 20 percent more.

Even if the price is higher than 10% or 20%, it is still a big profit.

In the past, the cooperation agreement was signed for five to ten years, which greatly damaged the interests of suppliers.

After all, prices are rising every year, and it is impossible to sell at past prices, so the supplier is not shipping, but bleeding, and it will not be long before it will go out of business and not be able to do it.

Now the contract of cooperation is generally half a year or a year for a term, when the time comes who gives the right price of cooperation, and which businessman will sign a cooperation agreement, the agreement lasts for half a year to a year, when there is a new businessman to seek cooperation at a higher price, then the person who signed the contract will change......

This strategy also reduces supplier dissatisfaction and gives travel merchants a healthy competitive market environment.

I have to admire that the current president of the Chamber of Commerce is an amazing talent.

Money has to be earned, but it can't be too black-hearted.

If others knew that the current president of the Chamber of Commerce was the son of Einstein Norton, who was known as the smartest in the world, no one would be surprised.

A son of a genius is not necessarily a genius, but it will never be to the point of being said to be stupid. Although he did not engage in scientific research like his father, he was definitely a very wise man, and he used his wisdom to do business, creating a business empire that spanned the Twelve Kingdoms in just a few decades.

Pelelot drove the guide transport vehicle along the trail slowly, he drove the guide transport vehicle rented from the Chamber of Commerce, and he had to pay hundreds of thousands of rental fees every year, with an automatic guided driving system, which can travel unhindered by land, sea and air. However, it does not continue to fly in the air like a flying car, and can only fly into the sky with jet fuel in case of emergency escape, flying at a speed close to the speed of sound.

Most of the time it is driven on land, but if it is modified to change its shape, it can be used as a yacht.

However, it doesn't mean that it will automatically deform at the touch of a button, and the guide transporter has not yet reached such a high-tech level.

It was a man-made modification to assemble many parts such as airbags under the car...... At Pellelot's speed, it only takes more than half an hour to make the switch.

When he went to explore Lake Forgeti before, he didn't remodel it.

It takes more than an hour to renovate back and forth.

For traveling merchants, time is money, and even if they don't do anything, they are burning money every minute, after all, this guide transport vehicle is not cheap at all if you want to buy it, so you have to rent it.

In fact, there are many grades of guided transport vehicles.

Pelelote rented only a two-person transporter, 2.5 meters long, 1.5 meters wide, 1.5 meters high, although the appearance is similar to the common transporter, but the material used is more special, even if you encounter those D-class beasts blocking the road, just drive directly and hit it, there is no doubt that it must be a D-class beast that is knocked away, if it is an ordinary transporter, then it is not a transporter that hits the beast, and the moment it hits those D-class beasts, the car will be destroyed and killed.

Therefore, there is a guide transport vehicle to ensure the maximum safety of merchants during transportation, such as the transport vehicle rented by Pellelot, which can carry a ton of goods at a time.

If it were the guiding transport vehicles of those merchant groups, it would be very powerful, and it would be no problem to carry a hundred tons of goods.

Moreover, the conductive transporter does not need any fuel to drive, and the energy it uses comes from an ore called nephaluscene, which is placed in a conductive magnetic shock device, which produces a fission of energy and releases the energy required by the conductive transporter.

Although the energy in it is not as close to infinite as the native starstone, it is still enough to maintain it for a few years, and the only drawback is that after a period of use, there must be a cooling time. Therefore, every time it travels a distance, the guide transporter has to stop and rest for a while.
