Chapter 227: Betting
Cobos is a blacksmith, the importance of rank is lower than that of a merchant, and his greatest use is only to go to the main city so as not to be looked down upon by others.
Therefore, from level 15 to level 1, Cobos has nothing to be reluctant to, only to breathe away. So far, he has not gotten any bargain in Ling Chen's hands.
After swearing that one day he would create a purple light equipment or rare item with an additional state against the sky, and Ling Chen cried and begged before giving it, Kobos began to blow himself up again and again.
When Cobos exploded at level 1, Ling Chen almost lost his level of anger when he burst out, and immediately strode back to the city while calling up the friend menu and contacting Xue Wuqinyan.
Not long after, the voice chat was connected, and the voice of Xue Wuqin Yan sounded: "Are you out of the killing proving ground?" ”
"yes, still being besieged?" Ling Chen asked.
"It's already the twelfth time, count the time, and in an hour or two, the thirteenth will begin." Xue Wuqin Yan said indifferently.
"How have you considered my conditions?" Ling Chen asked.
"Can we meet and talk again?" Xue Wuqin Yan asked.
"Okay, give me the coordinates!" Ling Chen was crisp and neat.
After getting the coordinates, Ling Chen also walked to the teleportation array, and the ten gold coins were deducted, disappearing in the envious eyes of the surrounding players. Under the hostile relationship between the main cities has not been lifted, those who can afford to use the teleportation array are either super masters or big merchants in each city.
Back in Yuhan City, Ling Chen ran wildly towards the coordinates given by Xue Wuqin Yan. Half an hour later, we arrived at a grassland.
In the middle of the steppe. is a large plantation. Through the fence, you can see that the rows of rare medicinal herbs inside are lush and neat.
At the door, the snow dance piano stood with smoke. Under the magic robe, the figure is exquisite. There were two female players standing on both sides, one fat and one thin, the same as Xue Wuqinyan, although Ling Chen had only seen it once, he still had some impressions. Especially the fat one, Ling Chen's impression was even heavier than Xue Wuqinyan, it was the reality that the gathering technique was so strong that it was terrifying. The other is small fragrant tea.
"Sunset Star, we are also friends, how can you take advantage of the fire to rob?" As soon as Ling Chen approached, Xiao Xiangcha crossed his hands on his hips. Embellishment.
"Just kidding, how could I rob a friend while it's hot?" Ling Chen shook his head indifferently, he actually wanted to make the word friend a little heavier, but he couldn't help thinking about it.
"Then why did you prescribe the condition of asking for Demonic Beast cubs and rare medicinal herb seeds?" Xiao Xiangcha said dissatisfied: "And when we were besieged by unknown forces, isn't this taking advantage of the fire to rob?" ”
"Are you also short of seeds for demonic beast cubs and rare medicinal herbs?" Ling Chen was puzzled.
Xiao Xiangcha choked. Speechless. As the largest supplier of materials and equipment and potions in Yuhan City, it would be strange if he did not have a large reserve of even these most basic things.
Ling Chen's gaze moved to Xue Wuqin Yan, with a slight displeasure. He could feel that Xiao Xiangcha should have been instructed by Xue Wuqin Yan to make such an opening statement. The reason is probably to try to see if you can use a friend to trap him.
There is nothing wrong with talking about business and playing with some means. But taking himself for a fool, Ling Chen was a little unhappy. I've only met once. Even if he has an employment relationship, even if he is a friend, then he can have too many friends to count.
Xue Wuqin looked at Ling Chen without squinting, smiled indifferently, and said, "How about our cooperation?" I've always had this idea, but I thought you just wanted to earn as much gold as possible by relying on the NPC villagers of Guanghui Village, but I didn't expect you to be interested in getting involved in the auxiliary industry. ”
…,
"How to cooperate?" Ling Chen also smiled.
"I am responsible for providing you with sufficient fertilizer and feed, pesticides and veterinarians, as well as various auxiliary tools and seeds, monster cubs, and all the medicinal herbs and monsters produced by your plantations and farms, all of which will be sold by us. In terms of price......"
Xue Wuqin Yan looked at Ling Chen quietly, and said slowly: "Remove all kinds of costs, and calculate it for you according to our selling price." In other words, not only do you not have to worry about any sales channels, raw materials, etc., but you can also reduce the cost of sales and raw materials to the same extent as us, and increase the benefits. ”
"That's a good idea, but ......" Ling Chen hadn't talked about business, but he wasn't stupid, and smiled at the moment: "My interests are high, but what medicinal materials to grow and what magical beasts to raise are all in your hands, and there is no way to establish your own sales channels and raw material sources, which is equivalent to being swallowed up by you." ”
"The benefits are high enough, aren't they enough?" Xue Wuqin smoke was noncommittal.
Ling Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "Otherwise, how about I hire all the auxiliary professions you have cultivated?" ”
Xue Wuqin frowned slightly, Xiao Xiangcha and the reality were thinner, and they also frowned, obviously feeling that Ling Chen was a little unreasonable. The number of auxiliary professional players they have cultivated has now reached as many as 10,000 or 20,000, and the number of auxiliary professional players with employment relationships has reached 50,000 or 60,000. Ling Chen opened this kind of mouth, in their eyes, it was more like looking for trouble.
"Don't believe me?" Ling Chen asked with a smile.
"You're in Yuhan City, you don't have any shops, right?" Xue Wuqin Yan asked rhetorically.
"It doesn't matter, after it starts, business will naturally come to the door." Ling Chen said lightly.
"After it starts, business will naturally come to the door?" Xiao Xiangcha couldn't help but be a little unhappy and said, "Do you know how business is done?" Don't think that you are the first person in Yuhan City, you can also become the first person in business. With your reputation, it's true that a large number of players will come to the door of the store as soon as you go to the door, but do you know how many stores are needed for your size? Are you standing alone enough? Besides, the store is only about 80% of the total business volume, and there are 20% and even the major guilds, and when the guild war breaks out, it can be as high as 50%. If you want the major guilds to ask for equipment and potions from you in large quantities, do you think that the reputation of the first person in Jade Han City alone is enough? I didn't expect you to want to get involved in potions and equipment, you really have a big appetite. ”
Ling Chen said leisurely: "I think it's quite simple, it's nothing more than attracting players to come to the store to buy medicinal materials and equipment materials, or buy potions and equipment. ”
Xiao Xiangcha slapped her forehead and said weakly: "My God! Do you understand the difference between an unclear auxiliary industry and a main industry? If you really want to think it's easy, why don't you build a guild and try to scoop down the main city? It's a bit more profitable, and it's a little easier, as long as it can attract a large number of super masters to join the guild. ”
"What a waste of time!" Ling Chen shook his head very seriously.
"You're involved in the auxiliary industry, and you still want to spend a lot of time leveling? You don't understand, the shopkeeper is just talking, and if you want to do this, you don't just have to have a trustworthy person. It also needs a trustworthy and capable team that needs to ......"
Xiao Xiangcha was emotional and was pulled by Xue Wuqinyan.
"Unexpectedly, the first person in Yuhan City also likes to tease little girls." Xue Wuqin Yan looked at Ling Chen.
"Is there one? I think it's pretty simple. Ling Chen looked innocent and insisted on pretending to be stupid to the end. The one in front of him, but the current number one equipment dealer and pharmacist in Yuhan City, is also his future competitor, and if he is guessed by his various battles, he will definitely not hesitate to suppress it. …,
Compared to plantations and farms, as long as he can figure out how to enter the main city when the guild war breaks out, and persuade the city lord to let Guanghui Village have the right to expand indefinitely, it is equivalent to an endless stream of NPC villagers in Guanghui Village, plus the advantages of feed and fertilizer, the cost will always be in the lead. Compared to the auxiliary profession of building equipment and refining potions, he has the villagers of Immortal Village, plus the Immortal well water, high-end equipment and potions will be far ahead, and he only needs to develop low-end equipment and potions on this basis.
His biggest disadvantage is only that he does not have enough financial resources, and then there is no sales channel. And these things happen to be the biggest advantage of Xue Wuqin Yan, when he first started, he was completely able to suppress him without any power.
"My proposal, can you seriously consider it?" Xue Wuqin Yan said seriously.
"I also hope that your proposal will be seriously considered." Ling Chen also said with a serious face.
Xue Wuqin couldn't help frowning: "I don't like people with flamboyant tongues." ”
Nima, I don't like people who are as cold as ice!
Ling Chen secretly scolded himself, but the expression on his face was careless: "If you think I'm a flamboyant tongue, you can agree to it, as long as you dare to respond, I dare to accept it." Whether there is that much money or not, that's my business. ”
"Light Yao, or Radiant Knight?" Xue Wuqin Yan still looked indifferent, but in her heart, her good impression of Ling Chen had been greatly reduced. A person who tries to soar with the help of his friend's financial resources is too selfish.
"Perhaps! So I'm asking you to seriously think about it. Ling Chen didn't explain anything.
"Aren't you worried that I'll take action to suppress you? Your strength is indeed strong, but this is an auxiliary industry, and it is not just strength. Xue Wuqin Yan said tentatively.
"Just give it a try! Perhaps, what killer feature do I have? Ling Chen smiled, but he was only forced to relax. Xue Wuqin Yan really wanted to suppress him in the early stage of developing plantations and farms, and with his financial resources, he was completely vulnerable.
Xue Wuqin looked at Ling Chen quietly for a moment, and suddenly said, "Since no one wants to retreat, how about we make a bet?" ”
"Bet?" Ling Chen was slightly surprised, and looked Xue Wuqin up and down, a little surprised that she would actually think of making a bet.
Xue Wuqin Yan nodded slightly, and there was still a faint cold frost on her beautiful face.
"What bet? Let's hear it. Ling Chen spoke.
"Within a year, I promise not to suppress it, if you can accumulate a month's daily sales and surpass me, count me as losing. In turn, even if you lose. Xue Wuqin said slowly.
"What if I lose, what if you lose?" Ling Chen asked.
