Chapter 144: Geely Firm
"Wow-this is the legendary Geely Firm?" Pei Pei looked at the hexagonal tall building in front of him and exclaimed, "What a magnificence!"
This high-rise building is ideally located at the intersection of several major streets in the city. The building is made of almost entirely cut stone bricks, complemented by wooden windows and diamond murals, giving it a grandiose yet exquisite look. There were faint magic fluctuations coming out of the outer wall of the tall building, and it was obvious that there was a defensive magic array arranged on it, which could not be easily damaged.
"Of course, this hexagonal building, which represents the six-pointed star array of magic, is the logo of the Geely Trading House. Lina looked at the four big characters of Geely Comptoir on the main entrance and explained to the two beside her, "And there are ten floors in this building, which represent the level of magicians from the first to the tenth order. β
Gangu Yu was immediately impressed by her: "It turns out that you still know so much?"
"You don't look at who the old lady is. Speaking of which, most of the magic crystal magic materials that the old lady used to get from hunting demonic beasts were sold to them. Lena remembered the scene when she used to be a bounty hunter, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh, are they offering a high price?" said Gangu Yuqi.
"On the contrary, their purchase price is notoriously low in the industry. Lena shook her head a little self-deprecatingly, "But people still prefer to make deals with them." Because this Geely firm is also well-known for its undeceived children, the quotation is fair and transparent, and it will never cheat people. β
"What's the point?" Pei Pei wondered.
Lena nodded: "I remember that someone found a bone with faint magic fluctuations out of nowhere, and he was going to give it to Geely Commercial Bank to exchange for three melons and two dates." As a result, people saw that this was actually a keel! Then Geely Commercial Bank took the initiative to say that it would buy this keel at a price of 10,000 third-order magic crystals. β
After listening to this, Gan Guyu smiled noncommittally: "Qianjin Shigu, but she is quite good at business." β
"This is not the end, Geely Commercial Bank is afraid that the person who picked up a big bargain will be robbed halfway, and sent someone to escort him home. Lena continued, "Later, Geely Commercial Bank also released the word that whether they come to Geely Commercial Bank to buy or sell things, as long as people are robbed under the protection of Geely Commercial Bank, all losses will be counted as theirs." β
When Gan Guyu heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "What if the person being protected dies?" or what if the person deliberately found someone to rob him?"
"In the beginning, a lot of people had similar thoughts. Lena looked at Gangu Yu and smiled wickedly, "It's a pity that such a situation has never happened in thousands of years. No one can kill people and sell goods under the protection of Geely Commercial Bank. β
"So strong?" Pei Pei said in surprise, then seemed to remember something, gasped and continued to ask, "This Geely Firm, it won't have anything to do with the Su Jili family, right?"
"That's right. Lina said with an expression that you had finally thought of, "The owner behind Geely Trading House is Su Jili, one of the four major magician families. Therefore, the things of Geely Commercial Bank cannot be grabbed by ordinary people, and those who can rob them cannot rob them. β
Hearing this, Gangu Yu nodded secretly. The ancient family that has stood for thousands of years is indeed not to be underestimated.
The most important point is that the Su Jili family did not act arbitrarily because of their semi-monopoly leader position in the industry, but put people first and worked public relations and advertising. At the same time, they have not forgotten to regulate themselves and carefully protect their image and goodwill.
Regardless of the attitude of the Su Jili family in resisting the famine on the mainland, as far as a business empire is concerned, they are indeed doing very well.
The three of them had just walked into the Geely Commercial Bank, and there seemed to be no other guests on the first floor. A young woman with a smile on her face immediately greeted her: "Welcome to Geely Commercial Bank Cypros Store, I am the welcome shopping guide Xiao Tao, how can I help you?"
Gangu Yu smiled at Xiao Tao and said, "We're just here to take a look, you don't have to pay attention to us." β
When Xiao Tao heard this, the smile on her face did not decrease at all, but continued to smile: "Okay, if the three of you don't have a VIP card from the store, you can choose your favorite items from the first to the fifth floor." There are shopping guides on each floor of the store, so you can consult us if you have any questions. β
Gangu Yu secretly praised the quality of the clerks here, compared to the dogs he had met before, who looked down on people, or saw that you didn't buy anything, and immediately didn't give a good face to the shopping guide, I don't know how much better.
He nodded, and then casually strolled around with Lena Peipei. After a cursory glance, Gangu Yu found that the goods on this floor were not all worthless low-grade goods, but some distinctive goods, with excellent faΓ§ade filling effect.
For example, there is a fur labeled "Arctic Ice Wolf Skin" on the wall here, with a price tag of 1,000 third-order magic crystals, but it also notes the words "Extremely rare monster skin, I don't know what specific uses it is for the time being, please be cautious when buying".
Another example is that there is a red and blue mottled magic crystal in the window, with a price tag of 500 third-order magic crystals, but the note on the side reads: Third-order water and fire dual-system hybrid magic crystal, only this one has been found on the mainland. Except for the mana supplement equivalent to that of ordinary third-order magic crystals, no use has been found for the time being, so please be cautious when purchasing.
Obviously, such a thing has little practical value, and no one except the extreme collector of curiosities will pay such a price for it. However, these displays can attract a lot of people.
And the Su Jili family, which has thousands of years of history, really doesn't know anything about the usefulness of these things? But as long as he doesn't say it, there will always be people who will come to see the strange.
After Xiao Tao served them tea and snacks, she was about to step aside, but she heard Gan Guyu suddenly ask, "Why do I think, the prices you guys here are very high?"
"Yes, the prices of the goods in the shops are more expensive than the ones you see in the small shops outside. β
Xiao Tao generously admitted it, and patiently explained: "However, the store can guarantee that these goods are absolutely genuine. Once a customer buys a product that does not match the description function, or even a fake, the store will return the amount of 100 times as compensation. β
Seeing that Gangu Yu nodded, Xiao Tao continued: "At the same time, if you have become a VIP customer of the store, you can enjoy a certain discount, and the store will also be responsible for escorting the goods and even you to the safe place you designate. β
"So how can I become your VIP customer?" asked Peipei, leaning over to him.
"Guests who have consumed a total of 1,000 third-order magic crystals on the first to fifth floors will automatically become first-class VIPs in the store, and they can go to the sixth floor to purchase goods. Guests who spend a certain amount of money on the sixth floor can become a second-level VIP and have the right to purchase goods on the seventh floor, and so on, until the fifth-level VIP can go up to the top floor. Xiao Tao explained with a smile still on her face.
"A thousand third-order magic crystals!" Pei Pei couldn't help but stick out his tongue. According to the market price of a third-order magic crystal of 1,000 Radiant Coins, isn't that one million Radiant Coins?
"Hehe, but if it's three of them, you can call the shots and give you a first-class VIP card directly. Just then, a voice came from the stairs upstairs.
