196 Do not sell equipment, sell services
"10,000 gold coins is too little?"
Wutong didn't expect this player trainee priest to give him such a sentence, and subconsciously asked: "With the value of these two documents, how much can you borrow at the maximum amount?" ”
Lean Pig thought about it for a while, looked at Wutong and said, "At least 50,000!" And if I use the identity of the 'Vorking Sect Trainee Bronze Priest' to vouch for you from the inside, the maximum amount can be lent to you 100,000 gold coins! In addition"
After hesitating slightly, he looked around for a while, leaned closer to Wutong and lowered his voice: "If you can choose to handle this business with me, I can also use the name of the Vortex Temple venture capital, and then bring you an extra 50,000 gold coins, finally, the Vorgold Temple has a tradition of believers donating, if you promise to donate a certain amount of wealth to the temple regularly, you can also get a return of the temple to the internal believers, and the amount of wealth donated is about 10% of the investment."
Wutong was a little surprised, if you calculate it this way, you can get 50,000 gold coins for the mortgage of two documents, 50,000 gold coins for the priest's internal guarantee, 50,000 gold coins for the venture capital of the Waujin Temple, plus he only needs to donate 10% of his wealth to the Waujin Temple, and he can get another 100% return on the investment!
According to Lean Pig, the return required by the external venture capital of the temple is that, in addition to the return of the principal, one-third of the profit in the first month after the investor begins to make a profit, and the return surname investment only needs to return one-quarter of the profit after the principal!
For example:
Wutong borrowed 100,000 gold coins from Lean Pig, and the interest was 2,000 gold coins per month, and if the loan was repaid within a month, the total amount with interest would be 160,000.
Obtained 50,000 venture capital, although he did not have to pay interest, but in addition to the principal of 50,000 gold coins, he earned 100,000 gold coins, and he also needed to take out the profit of 33,333 gold coins to hand over to the temple.
And if you donate 5,000 gold coins and get a return on investing 50,000 gold coins, so as to earn 100,000 gold coins, you need to take out 25,000 profits and give them to the temple!
Although I don't know how much it will cost to create a chamber of commerce, if you want to build a marketing point in each village, just renting or buying a shop and other property is a huge expense!
If such a large loan can really be pulled, both the "Islands Chamber of Commerce" and the "Secret Shadow Guild" will gain great momentum for development, and they can spread their influence all over the islands in the shortest possible time!
The most important thing is that his cooperation with Hadron is based on Hadren's capital contribution and these two documents to obtain a 50% stake, and if he has a large amount of money himself, he can further reduce the proportion of Hadren's shares.
But can you repay such a huge amount of money with a loan all of a sudden?
Perhaps seeing Wutong's hesitation, Lean Pig was ruthless and added: "If I do this business, I can get a 5% commission of the net income of the business, and I can do without this part as your rebate!" ”
10% net income commission? According to the Wutong estimate, it is 3000 + 1666 + 1250, nearly 6000 gold coins! That's a lot of money for a solo player!
But why is this guy so generous? Sycamore's eyes fell on the slightly eager lean pig.
As a financial officer, Lean Pig's eyesight is naturally not weak, of course, he saw Wutong's doubts, and said with a dry smile: "The reason why I don't want the profit in this is mainly for the performance of this business, which can quickly improve my identity and status in the Waujin Temple, to be honest, this is more than the business If you find a higher-level priest in the Waujin Temple, you can get a larger amount, and the interest percentage reduction will be more, but"
He looked into Wutong's eyes and said with a smirking smile: "If I'm not mistaken, you should be a trialist, that is, a player like me, right?" I guess since you were able to get such a gorgeous piece of equipment at the beginning of the game, and you also got such two incredible things, there must be some power behind it, right? And I, as a person with no power for the time being, my existence, and my status in the Waujin Temple, should be of some value to you."
Lean Pig paused and said confidently: "In other words, the higher my status in the Worjin Temple, the greater the authority, which will be of great benefit to the cooperation between the two of us in the future." ”
Wutong's eyebrows jumped, and then he understood, although his shape looks very much like an NPC, but his eyes and behavior can't deceive people, and it is naturally easy to deal with ordinary players, but for Lean Pig, the financial personnel who are the best at speculating on the psychology of customers, it is difficult to hide the past.
But this is not important, Wutong thought about it for a while, and decided to discuss this matter with the uncle before making a decision, because he didn't know how big the situation was that the uncle was preparing for now, and he would lose so much money if he didn't use it at all, and it would be a bit silly to take out a loan to pay interest in vain.
"I'll think about it, give me a way to get in touch?"
Sycamore nodded, Lean Pig also understood such a big thing, no matter what the origin of the mysterious player in front of him was, he would need to discuss it with someone, and he understood and gave Sycamore his contact information in reality.
Sycamore, who turned around and left, thought while walking, speaking of which, this matter is really a win-win thing, the reason why the lean pig will take the initiative to show favor so diligently, and does not charge any fees, in fact, if Sycamore can handle this business in his hands, it will be the most beneficial to him.
If according to the normal procedure, the players apply for a loan of two gold coins in his hands, he will have to survive for a long time before he can really gain a certain status in the Worgold Temple, and he will also have to face the competition of more player priests in the intermediary, and when he slowly develops, I am afraid that he will miss the excellent advantage in the early stage of the game.
After finishing the things in hand, Wutong was dazed for a moment, looked around for a while, and decided to go directly to the hotel, planning to open a room to study hard, and the underground ruins made him find that it was terrible to be uneducated!
If he had read through the large number of books that the teacher had given him, such as [History] and [Occultism], he would not have been able to figure out what age the underground ruins belonged to when he was in the ruins!
If he had studied [religion], he would not have failed to see that the underground ruins of the suspected temple belonged to that god!
If he had studied [Dungeon], he wouldn't have lost out what those strange monsters were in the underground ruins!
If he learns [Engineering] and [Construction], he will not be unable to discover the secret rooms and mechanisms, which will lead to many dangers!
From this point of view, the game "Endless", sometimes some settings seem to be very cheating, but they are very delicate in details, and it completely depends on the player's own decision, because even if you don't waste time to learn these things, it will not affect your mood in the game, and you can be like the vast majority of players, brutally and forcefully use corpse laying tactics to achieve the goal, although the cost is a little bigger, there is no technical content, but who cares? It's good for the players to be happy.
If you want to reap, you have to give.
This is probably the original concept of the R&D creators of "Endless", and their intentions are very sinister, integrating this concept into the worldview of "Endless".
casually found a hotel, Wutong opened a guest room, but was shocked to find the official's sinister intentions:
Inferior room: 2 credits/day, 30% of bad condition can be restored.
Ordinary room: 5 credits/day, 50% of the bad state can be restored.
Superior Room: 10 Credits/day, 100% of bad condition can be restored.
The hotels in the main city are much more expensive than the small inns in the village, and the effect is also better, not only can quickly recover physical strength, health, trauma, bruises and negative states, it is said that there are more luxurious staterooms on top of the upper rooms, which can add special status to the guests.
Players will occasionally suffer injuries that are difficult to recover from during battle, and can only recover by recuperating in hotels in addition to spending more expensive money to find a pharmacist, physician, or priest to buy medicine or receive treatment.
Obviously, recuperation in a hotel is faster than natural recovery, but it is slower than receiving treatment, and the price is cheaper than receiving treatment.
"Endless" does not charge any game fees, even the game equipment is distributed for free, and it is unlikely to be like some traditional online games that collect money, selling game props in the game, many players are curious, how the official spent such a huge amount of money to develop "Endless" to recover the investment and profit?
The key lies in the various services in the game, although it is not yet visible, but the official "Endless" can get a part of the money from the national tax at that time, and also get a part of the income from the service projects of the towns in the game, such as restaurants, hotels, bars, commercial shops, carriages and horses, etc.
Although it may seem that these are sporadic small amounts of money that cannot be sporadic anymore, considering the player base that Endless may have in the future, this income is very terrifying!
"Don't sell equipment, sell services!" That's what Endless is officially about
In the simple single room in Shell Village, which is much more comfortable and luxurious, Wutong sat at the specially equipped desk in the guest room, enjoying the fragrant black tea, while looking at the large pile of books he took out from the [moving bookshelf], it is really not easy to be a mage, and there is a long way to go to study the task!
