"These are the most recent income and expenditure statistics for the Hearthstone Tavern."

Lady Marina handed the written account book to Josiu, who opened it and flipped through the pages.

From the opening of the Hearthstone Tavern to the present, the income and expenses of each of the taverns have been carefully written on it, and the total expenses will be counted once a month.

Lady Marlena did a very good job in managing her finances, after all, the old woman had rescued a depressed chamber of commerce by herself.

How many card packs were sold in this month, Qiao Xiu recorded them in the server of the original crystal lizard.

As the Hearthstone Tavern has tripled in size, and the number of magical machines that carry Hearthstone has expanded, the Protocrystalline Lizard has two new companions.

However, even if these lazy creatures are gathered in large numbers, they usually only hibernate with their eyes closed.

Qiao Xiu checked the money earned from selling card packs in the account book with the number of card packs sold, and found that there were no errors.

"Mr. Qiao Xiu... I think we need to hire a few more acolytes. ”

Mrs. Marina took out another list of the 'Register of Employed Persons'.

"That's fine, but I'm curious where you got these squires from."

Qiao Xiu took the list handed over by Lady Marina, flipped through the contents, and found that it was terrifyingly detailed.

These acolytes hired by Marlena not only have basic information such as names and genders, but also past experiences and home addresses.

If it weren't for the fact that the 'lamp' Qiao Xiu was using now was the primordial crystal engraved with the light technique, Qiao Xiu would even suspect that he had returned to Earth.

These directories can be used as a resume, the kind without photos.

"Nolan is a city that respects contracts, Mr. Qiaoxiu, and there are some chambers of commerce here that can provide some places to hire workers." Lady Marlena explained.

"It's not... Slave? ”

For this kind of market, the first thing that Qiao Xiu thought of was the most common slave market in the Middle Ages.

"I'm old and my memory is a little declining, but the slave trade disappeared decades ago, and maybe other countries do, but Nolan absolutely forbids it." Lady Marlena said.

"The most prosperous city in the world... Is it? ”

Qiao Xiu could no longer describe this city in the Middle Ages, the magic workshop across the river of gears has been in operation for more than fifty years, and the magic guide machinery produced in it has taken the rudiments of modern technology.

For example... Cars, Qiao Xiu had seen a magically powered 'car' drive through the street not long ago, and although it attracted a lot of spellcasters at the time, Qiao Xiu believed that it would eventually replace horse-drawn carriages in the near future.

Nolan has ushered in the first industrial revolution, and has even opened the door to the second industrial revolution under the catalysis of magic.

And Qiao Xiu helped the residents of Nolan to pry open the door to the information age first.

"The next time Lady Marlena goes to the market to hire a waiter, please bring me with you."

Josiu gave the list to Lady Marina.

The technology tree of humanity in this world is climbing too fast, both civilian and military...... And the social ecology of the demon world, according to the memory of the third prince, is still in the 'medieval' class.

Although Qiao Xiu didn't want to participate in the struggle to enter the demon realm, the demon realm was also Qiao Xiu's hometown, and it wouldn't be fun if the human race used some 'three hundred and eighty mm cannon' to blast the door open.

However, this is not something that Qiao Xiu needs to worry about, Qiao Xiu's sister Cexili has been working hard to change the pedantic and backward demon world, hoping that after she gets the magic net, she can have a better understanding of the current human world.

Now Qiao Xiu should consider expanding the manpower of his 'Entertainment Guild', and Qiao Xiu only thinks of two ways to expand.

The first is to look for suitable actors at Sir Bradhorn, and the other is to look at the 'talent market' that Lady Marlena mentions.

"No problem, Mr. Joshy... Also, about the price of the Hearthstone Pack you've set. ”

Lady Marlena didn't know whether to talk about this proposal or not, and the price of the card pack set by Qiao Xiu was originally three gold coins, but in the end it was reduced to one gold coin.

"Is it too expensive?"

Qiao Xiu had already guessed what Marlena was talking about.

Even if the price of the card pack is set at one gold coin in the end, there are still many customers who complain that the price is too expensive.

In particular, Cheryl, a certain poor Inquisitor and part-time online writer, often posts on the caster forum, such as 'Recently, I have been so poor that I have to live on eating dirt, begging a good Samaritan to give 328 gold coins and eat a full meal, I don't know what new card packs, and I don't know what goblins vs. gnomes'

The high cost of card packs has also led to the high cost of cards, and the most expensive card currently on consignment in the Hearthstone Tavern is the golden Fire Demon King, which costs up to 4,000 gold coins, which is more than enough for spellcasters to buy a staff of good quality.

For a big dog like the Dwarves who made their fortune by selling primordial hedrons, a gold coin really didn't have to blink an eye, but for some poorer civilians or spellcasters, a gold coin was enough for them to live for a week.

Although Joshua has a task in the system to get a card pack for winning three rounds a day, the majority of players still complain that the card pack is too expensive, and this complaint has become more and more common on the caster forum since the release of the new card pack.

"Mr. Qiao Xiu, I don't think there is a need for a price reduction." Lady Marlena said.

While the price reduction will satisfy the poorer players, it is the wealthy spellcasters or dwarves who actually buy packs in large quantities to spend...... If the price is reduced, it will have a psychological imbalance on players who have spent a lot of money on card packs.

"There is no price reduction, but it can be discounted." Qiao Xiu said.

"Discount ......"

Lady Marlena watched as Joshua took out a blank piece of paper and a pen, on which Joshua wrote the words '50% OFF'.

"I think you also know that it's a very common way to sell card packs at some festivals in Nolan, where we can sell them at 90 percent, 70 percent, or 50 percent."

Regardless of the world, discounts are always a means of stimulating intelligent beings to enter the state of buying, buying, buying, and this world is no different.

The exchange rate of Nolan Gold to Silver Coins is stable at 10 to 1, so after the discount, the card pack can be sold as silver coins.

"It's time to celebrate the release of the new card pack these days, and it's up to you to set the price for the discount, Lady Marina."

Joshua handed the paper with 50% OFF written on it to Lady Marina, the businesswoman knew far more money than Josiu knew how to make more money with this method.
