Chapter 175: Merchant Gu Fei
Hoarding large quantities of goods is something that merchants only do at certain special times.
For example, from the open beta to the official operation of the game, a large number of players have entered the game, which has increased the demand for goods, and the price will definitely rise to a certain extent. Many people seized this opportunity to stock up on equipment at a low price during the open beta and sell it at a high price after the official operation, which is a successful case.
But in fact, it's far from that simple. The influx of players into the market has caused the price increase in equipment to be short-term. After all, in the game, each player is not only the first consumer, but also the first productive force. It's just that high-level players are advanced productivity, while low-level players are relatively backward. However, the price of advanced equipment produced by the advanced productive forces is not low, and not just anyone has the ability to vigorously hoard and resell it. The average businessman hoards nothing more than middle-class equipment.
This part of the equipment, as the level of the new player increases, they will soon also be able to play. So the price of this part of the equipment has risen, in fact, there is only a short cycle. When a large number of new productive forces pour into the market and the number of commodities increases, it is certain that even if prices do not fall, it will become difficult to sell.
Buy low and sell high, it sounds like just four very simple words, but in fact, there is a lot of knowledge inside.
There will always be only a few people who can really make money by doing these four words, otherwise there will not be more poor than rich.
Take the business opportunity from this open beta to the official operation, there are many people who have seen this opportunity, but a considerable number of them only know the surface and do not know the inside. I couldn't do it, and finally hoarded too much equipment and smashed it in my hands.
The law of online games: As time goes by, the more initial the equipment, the more worthless it becomes. At present, the price of this batch of equipment, in stock terms, has fallen below the issue price, and it is still difficult to sell. Because although there are no more hoarders, normal transactions in the market still exist, and the competition is quite fierce.
At this time, Gu Fei threw out this pile of equipment, and when a discerning person took a look, he immediately found that most of them belonged to the middle-class equipment at that stage. immediately associated Gu Fei with one of the failed businessmen in the wave of scalping. And this person actually held this rotten stock for a long time until now, it is really a failure in failure!
A group of people looked at Gu Fei happily, without any sympathy.
For these scalpers, the new generation of gamers hates them for taking the opportunity to make their money; The old players were jealous that they had seized the opportunity to make money, so both groups felt disgusted in their chests for the failure of the resale.
And these two groups of people are already all the players, so now that Gu Fei is such a suspected loser, everyone's faces are full of schadenfreude.
Gu Fei didn't know what to do, seeing that he seemed to be quite concerned, he was happy in his heart, and felt that his business would be bright all the way. Then he crouched down and carefully sorted out the equipment that had fallen to the ground. Although there is no level requirement for equipment in parallel worlds, it is still obvious that there are levels based on the caste data of the equipment. Based on the additional family name, the value of a piece of equipment can be determined.
The equipment on hand by Gu Fei is all blue-character equipment, and there is no market for white-character equipment unless it is of a super high level. Blue equipment is the mainstream, and the equipment of general players is based on a blue equipment, and then try to start from the parts that you pay most attention to, and find a way to make a golden equipment to update. As for the purple character equipment, it is a completely non-mainstream thing, and ordinary people have not reached that realm at all, that is, they are in a dream.
Gu Fei quickly sorted the equipment into alternative codes. There are all kinds of wearing on the head, wearing on the body, holding in the hands, hanging fingers around the neck, covering the chest, and pedaling on the feet. The open space in front of Gu Fei was full. Gu Fei nodded with satisfaction, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and raised his head.
Someone was already paying attention to Gu Fei's actions, and Gu Fei immediately responded with a kind smile: "Equipment, do you want anything?" ”
Everyone shook their heads happily.
Gu Fei's smile stiffened a little, so everyone was even happier.
Let's not mention that Gu Fei's things are a little outdated, and these people in front of him don't need them. It's just that they need it, and they don't want to buy Gu Fei's equipment in their hearts. The trading street is so long, Gu Fei has some of the most ordinary goods in his hands, and he doesn't have to worry about not being able to buy them elsewhere. So, "Let him die in his hands!" "Everyone has this mentality. With a boo, they dispersed. Many people lingered, and looked back many times to appreciate Gu Fei's expression.
Gu Fei was puzzled.
Is your gear too outdated? Gu Fei also thought of this, most of his equipment was obtained by him from his 20s to 30s, and it was quite cheap equipment at present. But along the way, Gu Fei paid attention to the stalls of other players, and similar equipment was often seen, because he felt that these things were not completely unmarketable. However, there will be very few people who will choose these equipment, so you should be patient and wait! Thinking like this, Gu Fei was no longer anxious, found a comfortable posture to sit on the ground, and began to wait patiently.
In the trading street, the most commonly heard sound is naturally the sound of bargaining. Gu Fei waited for customers to come to the door, and at the same time learned market knowledge through this kind of audit.
As for the price of equipment, Gu Fei has never studied it. Originally, it was envisaged that there would be a flat price, with 10 gold coins for each item, and you could earn enough 200 gold coins. But after paying attention to the situation of the bargaining in the surrounding stalls, Gu Fei developed himself to overestimate the value of the little thing in hand.
The pile of expired products in his hand, I'm afraid most of them are not worth 10 gold coins at all. In the stall diagonally opposite, a pair of shoes was better than these surnames on Gu Fei's stall, and the final turnover was only 8 gold coins.
Then he observed the items sold in several other successful transactions, and after comparing the surnames sideways, Gu Fei finally found that he was really blindly optimistic. Let's not talk about whether the pile of goods in my hand can be sold, even if I sell them all, I'm afraid I won't even be able to make up 50 gold coins. That's enough for 200 gold coins, and I have to go back and forth several times.
Gu Fei sells things, and like his characters, he pursues speed. He only wanted to save 200 gold coins as soon as possible, and he didn't care if he made money or lost money. Thinking like this, Suo opened his voice: "One dollar store, each piece of equipment only costs one gold coin, what you want!! ”
Low prices are always the most beautiful and moving temptation on the market. As soon as Gu Fei shouted, countless players immediately rushed over. Even some players who had originally set up stalls couldn't help but come over and take a look.
Gu Feile blossomed, thinking in his heart: "One piece of equipment is 1 gold coin, 200 pieces can make up 200 gold coins, and all the ones in my warehouse should be almost this number." As long as you make a few more trips, 200 gold is no problem. ”
But I didn't expect this to be another blind optimism. The players who were greeted by the shout of "One Dollar Shop" quickly shook their heads and went to the vast majority after carefully looking at everything on Gu Fei's stall.
It's tempting to be cheap, but it's useless to be cheap if it's something you don't need. And Gu Fei's little miscellaneous pieces have no value in buying low and selling high. A few stall players who came to take a look with this mentality also left happily after seeing it.
In the end, there are some players who stay, all of whom are absolute newcomers dressed in novice costumes and barefoot. Since there are no level requirements for equipment, it is tempting for them to wear level 20 equipment. But for such a new player, the wallet is also deflated. They were more familiar with silver and copper coins, and as long as they carried the word gold coins, it was a huge amount of money for them.
For this reason, they also stubbornly wanted to bargain with Gu Fei for a gold coin.
Gu Fei said forcefully, "It's cheap enough, don't bargain", and walked three on the spot.
The remaining two were very patient, and Gu Fei was soft and hard for a while, and "brother" alone called countless times. In the end, he insisted on making a buy-three-get-one-free promotion for Gu Fei, spending three gold coins per person, taking four pieces of equipment from Gu Fei each, and happily going.
Finally earned 6 gold coins. Gu Fei sighed with emotion, took out his money bag and threw six gold coins in, lowered his head and counted them again. It's a pity that Gu Fei didn't have a few before, and at this time his gold coins were 37 plus 6,43, which was 157 short of 200 gold coins.
"Do these sell for 1 gold?" Gu Fei was calculating the money, and suddenly someone asked.
"Ah, yes!" Gu Fei replied and hurriedly raised his head.
"It's !! you" The two were stunned at the same time.
The people who came to Gu Fei's booth to ask the price were actually reckless.
Gu Fei was just surprised to meet an acquaintance, and he was reckless, but there were more doubts in addition to that. The Gu Fei she knew was the one who helped her out of the siege outside Cloud City. A master of six people in an instant.
In online games, being a master often means being wealthy. It's not so absolute, but it's not too poor. Like Gu Fei, who needs to sell such a pile of garbage to earn one gold coin after another, this frustration really makes the reckless vastness feel too surprised.
Anyway, with Gu Fei's current level, wouldn't it be faster to sell a few high-level equipment than to sell these expired equipment for 1 gold coin and 1 gold coin?
The reckless vastness that Gu Fei thought of was indeed the most suitable way for Gu Fei to make money. Everything in online games will be linked to the level, and with the highest level, it can be said that you have the first productive force. The highest-grade equipment produced from this can dominate the market, and how many masters in the game have become rich first.
There is no level requirement for parallel world equipment, which can make this way of making money even more exciting.
But unfortunately, because of the difficulty of leveling up, the player's level can't be opened too wide, so this way of making money is not in the hands of a few people.
However, Gu Fei has unique conditions. Because he has the ability to fight monsters over level 20.
