Chapter 041: Get Support
I actually understand what they said, if there is really a lot of money to be made by opening a store, it is impossible for the game company to delegate this authority. In particular, the official auction house has been dominating for a long time, and it is simply unattainable in terms of status, and it has also allowed players to form a fixed thinking consumption model, and it is determined that the auction house is used to buy and sell equipment, just like people now shop online on Taobao, and it is not impossible to fundamentally reverse this situation, but it is difficult.
However, I have my own plans. All of their worries were based on the fact that the store tax was higher than that of the auction house, so I had to resort to the killer idea.
I said calmly: "The tax rate given to me by the city lord is only 10%!" β
As soon as these words came out, they were shocked again!
"What? Only 10%?? Mu Xue couldn't sit still and shouted, "Even the venue rental fee is more than that!" β
"Wouldn't it? Did the city lord's brain burn out? Only 10% tax? Murong Mingyue also said incomprehensibly.
Maybe they have been used to being exploited by game companies for a long time, and the 20% or 40% tax rate is already commonplace, so there will be such a big reaction when they suddenly hear a 10%.
But I still think that such a tax rate is already very high, we open a store in reality, and charging a 6% has already made those small self-employed people miserable, and 10% in the game They actually think it is an extrajudicial favor!
"Brother, how did you get the city lord to agree to only 10%?" My sister also asked curiously, "Because the equipment in the game doesn't cost and is exploded from the monster's body, the tax rate is particularly high!" How can he only take 10% from you? β
"Think about it, have anyone from those armor shops and weapon stores in the four squares gone in to buy equipment?"
They shook their heads in unison.
"Isn't it because of this that there is no business there?" Shangguan Wan'er asked weakly.
"So the city lord threw it at me like a loss of money!" I said excitedly.
Only then did they suddenly realize, but Murong Mingyue said with a roll of eyes: "Isn't that just a money-losing goods?" β
Mu Xue said unusually calmly: "If it's a 10% tax rate...... suddenly her eyes lit up and exclaimed, "Then some have done it!" β
I exhaled and said, "Now you know!" β
In fact, what I didn't do before was because the system was very tight in this regard, which almost violated normal economic principles, so there was no room for players to participate.
But after the city lord fat man gave me a privilege, the situation was different.
My shop pΓΉ only charges 10% tax, which means that it is lower than the auction house, what does it mean? It means that I can take over all the business of the auction house!
However, I can't be too many, once I do this, the Sky Scar Company will definitely be the first to seal my account, so keep a low profile.
Mu Xue said excitedly: "Then what are you going to do?" β
I said proudly: "With such a piece of feng shui treasure, it is naturally impossible to sell land stalls!" My thinking is, we only sell high-end gear! β
"However, at present, there is a shortage of high-end equipment, will anyone make a move?" My sister hesitated and said, "There aren't many in the auction house!" β
"Moreover, we also have to give priority to supplying the members within the guild...... "Murong Mingyue also said in a sullen voice, "Then what equipment do you say is high-end but can be sold!" β
I smiled and said, "None of this is a problem!" Silvermoon City claims to have a population of one million, and not every guild and every player has all the best equipment like us to keep for their own use, and it is also very hard to have equipment but no money! And we may be able to attract more great gear to arm our own men as a result! β
Even Mu Xue was a little moved by what I said, "Well, it makes sense!" If all the high-end equipment in Silvermoon City flows into our hands......" She smiled a little as she said this.
"Haha, I see!" Murong Mingyue also suddenly laughed and said, "Use this method to attract those good equipment to our hands!" And money is not an issue, haha! β
I'm ashamed, compared to the auction house's sky-high prices that are clearly showing off and not really want to sell, my method can indeed make those equipment that were originally sky-high prices more realistic, and if it is acceptable, we can digest it ourselves.
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
"Since there is no opinion, then the next question is financing! To put it bluntly, I don't have that much money......" I said directly.
Mu Xue said with a smile: "How much does it cost?" β
"The price I asked from the clerk ranged from 100,000 to 1 million, and the key was to see the effect of the renovation. If it is delicately decorated, it may cost hundreds of thousands! β
My sister and Shangguan Wan'er both looked at me with wide eyes, and my sister said directly: "Tianji Company is robbing money!" The decoration of a store in the game costs 100,000 to 1 million, isn't it just a matter of writing a few codes? Do you want it to be so dark? β
"Well, that's ruthless! In reality, I don't know how good it is to spend two or three hundred thousand yuan on decoration! Shangguan Wan'er also said with great agreement.
"There's no way around it, who let us mess around on other people's territory?" I said helplessly.
"And how much money are you going to spend on renovations?" Mu Xue asked very calmly.
"I don't know for the time being, do you know any friends who can understand interior design?" I asked, "I'd like to give a proposal first, and then I'll ask how much it costs!" β
Murong Mingyue stood up and said, "I'll leave this to me!" When do you want it? β
"Of course, the sooner the better, now can give me the best!"
"There's no hurry, right? At twelve o'clock in the evening, the server will be refreshed again, and then the territory will be given to us, and by the way, we will also set up our headquarters in the fortress! Mu Xue said intoxicatedly, "We finally have our own territory!" β
"Hmmm! Be cozy and feel like home! I agreed.
Many people say that the generation that plays online games is a generation that is indifferent to family affection. They will be immersed in the game for a day and a night, or even longer, and sometimes they will neglect their loved ones; And more online game players are those wanderers who are lonely and adrift in other places, they are thousands of miles away from home and lack the warmth of their families, so they will put their daring in virtual games.
I've experienced it myself, so I can really feel the feeling of being alone, and if I can create a warm atmosphere of family in the game, so that all the members of the guild can make the territory their home, then the cohesion generated is undoubtedly very strong.
