"There's a new kind of game in Toposo. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info," said the big businessman Kahn at a regular meeting of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Is there commercial value?" asked Ralph.

For a merchant, there is nothing more worthy of care at a meeting than gold coins.

Karn was a merchant directly under a certain marquis in the imperial capital, and he would not do anything without profit.

"It's a card game, the cards are quite beautifully made, I bought a set. ”

Karn handed out Lynch's printed cards to the merchants.

They were all wealthy and high-status people who served the great nobility as well as themselves.

"Excellent brushstroke, a good painter. ”

"Landscape painting is better than figure painting. ”

"Most of these Warcraft seem to be fictional and do not exist in the Warcraft Encyclopedia. ”

"The card paper, which is made of yellow-leaved trees from the Lasang Mountains, is not cheap and quite hard. ”

The merchants here are all accomplished figures, and their knowledge is not inferior to that of ordinary nobles, and many of them are more or less advisers to the head of the family.

Their network of relationships also brought them great wealth and power.

"Does Lord Karn want this kind of game to be popular in the Imperial Capital? Although this kind of card is not as collectible, it should be liked by many noble young masters. "Ralph is very responsive, and these beautiful cards can really make a merchandise, like an oil painting.

"This kind of card, sold to the outside world, is five silver coins each, and these forty cards cost two gold coins. ”

"Also, this is a print, not a real thing. Karn added.

"It seems too expensive, and if it's genuine, it's pretty much the same. Anderson frowned and said that although he was well aware of Mr. Kahn's ability and would not deliberately fool himself with these worthless things, Anderson was in the business of buying and selling art.

As long as the painter is not famous, his products will not be valuable and will not be sold to a high level.

Prints still want to sell at this price, it's too dark.

"At the moment His Excellency Elliott, the legendary magician, is obsessed with this game. ”

There was an uproar in the audience.

Just like the earth, in ancient times, the upper class determined the popular trend, and once there were people in the upper class who liked it, it would cause the following imitation, and they determined the social trend.

Similarly, in the Wyvern Empire, if it is rumored that Elliott is a magician who likes something, it may also cause a trend.

"Recently, His Majesty the Emperor also went to Toposso to receive it, and brought back a gift, a rather beautiful card, which is dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor. Karn was so well informed that the other businessmen in the room simply caught the attention.

How did he know these things, intelligence is yellow, orange and orange gold.

It seems that Kahn is being taken more seriously.

"It is said that this game was invented by a god who would love to see other people play this game, and the way to worship this god is to play this card game. ”

The audience buzzed.

The Wyvern Empire does not reject other faiths, although they all worship the goddess Nabis, who has performed the most miracles.

As for other beliefs, burning more incense on weekdays may be useful, and the church pantheon is dedicated to countless gods.

If you can believe in a god in such a simple way, the businessmen here don't mind adding an extra faith.

"So, Master Karn, are you going to do this business, or are you all going to do it together?"

"The import price of five silver coins is shipped to the imperial capital, even if the freight is not high, but the single selling price is too high, and there doesn't seem to be much profit at all. ”

The purpose of the Chamber of Commerce is more to coordinate the buying and selling of merchants in order to prevent accidental competition and hurt the peace.

In other words, through the Chamber of Commerce, they realized the monopoly.

If Karn had just wanted to inform them that I had done the deal, they wouldn't have objected too much, but it was unlikely that he would have said it in such detail.

But to unite everyone to do this business, the plate is too small.

"No, this kind of card, I'm going to sell it for a silver coin. ”

Everyone was silent, they didn't think Karn was mad, there must be some other reason.

"This game, according to the rules, if you want to play, you must have at least forty cards, two gold coins are too expensive for small and medium-sized nobles, they probably won't spend so much because of such a game, we want to set off a trend, the price can't be too outrageous. ”

"Also, I didn't say that my card was to be bought from Toposo, that we could print it ourselves. Karn had the characteristic expression of a profiteer.

If Lynch knew that he had finally come up with propaganda and was actually facing piracy, his first reaction would have been, I was really a dog.

In order to promote the cards and also take the opportunity to make a profit, Lynch made full use of the celebrity effect and sent corresponding beautiful cards to His Majesty the Emperor and Elliott.

By the way, spend money on publicity.

However, since this is not the information age, there is a certain lag in the flow of messages.

When the rumors promoted by Lynch fly to the imperial capital, it will take at least half a month.

For businessmen who are sensitive to news, they can use these news to make a time difference, and then the time caused by the trend to make a lot of money.

"I've had people evaluate that if you want to imitate the card you want to figure out, you can suppress the cost to 50 copper coins, we don't need to use paper made of yellow leaf trees, just use tissue paper, and add the God Capital Magic Printing Factory, which can reduce the cost even lower than Toposo's collar. ”

"Second, we don't sell them directly, but take a pack of five cards and a pack of five silver coins to sell, so that the nobles who have a hobby of collecting will buy more and more. ”

Even under such a monopoly trade, the merchants of this world still have countless ways to make money.

"This business doesn't make a lot of money, but it's a long-term deal. ”

"I'd like to share it with you. ”

The reason why Karn was willing to share this deal was because the news could not be hidden, and once he started it, others would follow suit, and it was not worth it to have all kinds of competition for this business, so it was better for everyone to get rich together.

The good thing about this business is that there is no conflict and it is not related to the business that everyone has run before.

Karn didn't just want to be a rich man, he also had ambitions of his own to truly unify the entire Chamber of Commerce and make them all willing to do his bidding.

In this way, the Chamber of Commerce is a real behemoth.

So how do you use it to unify the Chamber of Commerce?

That is to let everyone understand a truth, follow me to make money.

Karn was able to manipulate the other merchants of the Chamber of Commerce through his prestige, allowing him to take himself a step further.

Why can't he become the biggest merchant in the empire?

The best businessman, the one who can drink with His Majesty the Emperor.

Lynch was furious, and he finally managed to get the next generation doctor to make a barely usable printing press, and spent a lot of money to recoup some money by selling cards at a high price, but he encountered piracy.

I'm just selling a card, and I'm not selling any precious gadgets, but there are pirated copies.

However, in this world without copyright, is this a piracy of wool?

"Don't be angry with Lynch, the gods will be happy to be able to promote the game in this way. ”

"Second, the quality of this card is much worse than ours. ”

"Their main force should be to put the sales group in the hands of the small and medium-sized nobles, and we should focus on the hands of the big nobles. As the daughter of Lady Dulcinea, Norma analyzed, she was equally proficient in business.

"But there are only a few big nobles, and the market is too small to sell much. Lynch calculated the cost and thought that in terms of the vast market, he could not do the group of pirates in the imperial capital, and too few people bought the high-quality route.

"So we're going to raise the price even further, make it genuine, and add magic runes. Norma thought for a moment and suggested.

"I see, I'll talk to Raphael about it. "Lynch has seen the skills of the Imperial merchant this time, and it's good, he remembers.
