Arcane Lord

Soon, Xia Duo met Oripus in the shop, who had arrived in Everesca some time ago to open up the market. After the two parties sat down, Xia Duo was the first to ask his doubts:

"How did you rent this shop? I remember that the magic supplies store was doing pretty well when I came here last time, right?"

"It was good before, but that was also before."

Oripus said with a smile: "Not long ago, Amanda's Magical Supplies Store was involved in the demon incident, and the store was taken back by Everesca officials and entered the bidding and leasing process. At that time, I happened to come over and heard that When I heard about this, I participated in the bidding with the attitude of giving it a try, but I didn’t expect that I actually got the shot.”

"What a coincidence? No other factors?"

"It must be a coincidence. I had just come here at that time and had not yet taken the name of the Void Chamber of Commerce. Others did not know my identity, but I do not rule out the possibility of official arrangements by Everesca."

"That's it-"

Xia Duo thought for a moment and felt that it must be a coincidence. If it was the official arrangement of Everesca, after Oripus won No. 18 Mellon Market, he should have given him a hint or something.

Could it be that the elves are so upright and upright that they really just "go away and hide themselves and their names"?

Moreover, he did not hide his identity when he came here this time. If there is no official statement from Evereska, it would be a pure coincidence rather than any deliberate arrangement.

"Let's stop talking about the store bidding here. Whether it is a coincidence or not will come to light in the future. Let's just treat it as a coincidence now. Let's talk about the situation of the Chamber of Commerce!"

"yes."

Oripus thought for a moment, and then began to introduce, "The current official employees of the Chamber of Commerce are still the ones I brought with me when I came here. The Void Warehouse is not an ordinary commodity, and not all elves have the ability to consume it.

"So the Chamber of Commerce is not blindly promoting it now, but is trying to contact some chambers of commerce in Everesca City. If we can convince individual chambers of commerce to take the lead in using it, it may have good results."

"Has any chamber of commerce agreed now?" Xia Duo asked again.

"Most of the dozen or so Evereska Chambers of Commerce that we have contacted so far are interested in introducing void warehouses, and have already tried our Tower of Time's void warehouse, but they are still hesitant. Just a small-scale trial does not mean that What, void warehouses generally involve large-scale warehousing, and almost no chamber of commerce dares to take such a big risk."

"Have you ever mentioned a plan to gradually cooperate and expand the scale of the warehouse bit by bit?"

"Of course they have been mentioned, but this does not completely dispel their doubts. Now many small chambers of commerce are waiting and watching, hoping that larger chambers of commerce will take the lead in trying it. If they are sure that there are no problems, they will follow up."

"Have you ever considered signing a contract and stipulating a deposit in the contract? If there is a problem with the stored items, you will pay them compensation." Xia Duo asked again.

Oripus has still considered this issue, but he also put forward the opposite point of view, "The deposit is not a problem, the key is that if all the responsibilities are placed on the Chamber of Commerce, the risk will be too great, and it may There are some chambers of commerce that come here specifically to cheat on insurance.”

"Then how did the Void Warehouse on the Elf side be made in the first place?"

Xia Duo only knew that there was a void warehouse in the elves, but he had not really investigated how it was originally done. However, he also had a rough guess in his mind about this issue.

"Almost no Elf Chamber of Commerce directly operates Void Warehouses. The earliest Void Warehouses were used by high-ranking families for their own use. Later, they were gradually opened to vassal families or vassal chambers of commerce. Those families and chambers of commerce had already reached mutual trust before the Void Warehouse, or had to provide services for them. .

“Later, some large chambers of commerce with good reputations also began to rent empty warehouses to small and medium-sized chambers of commerce. It is the existing large chambers of commerce with good reputations that have the empty warehouse business.

"It would be really difficult for us to start a void warehouse if we started out. Our only advantage at present is that the price is cheap enough, but this also brings about a problem, that is, the issue of trust."

At the end, Oripus mentioned the low-price strategy. This was decided by Xia Duo early on, but he had raised objections to it when Xia Duo came to him.

The low-price strategy is not necessarily a good thing in the elf world, especially for special services like Void Warehouse. If he didn't have enough trust in Xia Duo, he would also suspect that Xia Duo might be doing this to embezzle the inventory of the small chamber of commerce.

Now, Oripus has never mentioned this matter again, but Xia Duo still insists on his opinion, "It is impossible to increase the price. Now the price is the only advantage of our chamber of commerce. If the price is the same as other void warehouses, it may even be higher." , then why should we compete with others!

"Besides, we have announced a low price now. If we increase the price again, what will others think? There is no need to mention the price increase in the future. The biggest dilemma of the Chamber of Commerce now is not the price, but the trust of others."

After thinking carefully for a moment, Xia Duo proposed a new plan and asked Oripus for reference. "Since the low price is not enough to attract those small chambers of commerce, let's announce to the public that the first chamber of commerce that signs a contract with the Tower of Time Chamber of Commerce will receive ten With a free use period of one year, five years for the second contract, and three years for the third contract, do you think any chamber of commerce would be willing to sign the contract?”

"this--"

Oripus really didn't know what to say at this moment. He looked at Sha Duo in confusion and finally asked what was in his heart, "Lord, what are you doing this for?"

The service contract of the Void Warehouse is signed once every ten years, and signed for ten years at a time. To find Xia Duo to do this is to directly find a chamber of commerce to use it for free for ten years.

If the other party had bad intentions, the actual maintenance costs incurred in the past ten years could completely bankrupt a normal Void Warehouse Chamber of Commerce. He really didn't understand what Xia Duo was trying to do.

Xia Duo did not reveal his intention to spread the moiré announcement throughout the elves, but used the most common business language in his hometown, "I have no other intentions, I just hope to bring cheaper and better experience to the elves." Good void warehouse service.”

Even Xia Duo himself didn't quite believe this, let alone Orepus, but since Xia Duo said this, Orepus would promote it as true.

"The free strategy may indeed attract the first batch of users, but the lords must also be prepared to lose money. In addition, they must also consider that other chambers of commerce will continue to wait and see for more free possibilities."

However, Xia Duo didn't care much about this kind of worry. As long as someone started using it, it would be his victory. If he wasn't worried about being boycotted by the officials of various elven countries, he would even be willing to give the Void Warehouse to the elves for free.

Compared with the strategic significance of becoming a cooperative void warehouse provider for many elf chambers of commerce, the maintenance cost is almost negligible!

You know, the Void Warehouse is essentially in the hands of Xia Duo. To put it bluntly, this is like holding a large number of hostages. There are too many places where you can ask for money later!

This is how the communication software on Earth works. If it is placed here in Xia Duo, the Void Warehouse can also be used to promote the communication mystery lock of the Tower of Time in the future.
