My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

After it has completely emerged, Xinhuo Exchange is no longer independent.

The opening time and the time for issuing shopping guides are unified with those of the top ten exchanges, and become 9 am.

It's almost winter, and there are still many people coming to trade today, but there are still very few people actually buying and selling.

Most traders just treat commodities as stock funds and constantly repeat the operation of buying low and selling high, hoping to make a "price difference" that others cannot see.

But it is a pity that their operation made even Turner, who was standing in the back hall and not very sensitive to the market, shake his head.

"Their approach is so simple. Although it seems that they can make money every day or not lose money, in fact, the amount they earn cannot satisfy the depreciation speed of the contribution points."

"Everything has been built in our Free City. Except for some regulated goods that cannot be traded, where is there such a big market to digest these goods? Every day, different people take over, maintaining the false The market circulates, but in fact, these things in the store, Hal, what they looked like when you left, and what they still look like now.”

Pointing to the "big items" in several rooms, and watching others happily buying them, with an expression on their faces as if they were waiting to make a fortune, Turner helplessly held his forehead and sat back on the counter.

Having experienced the exhilaration of earning hundreds of thousands of contribution points in one day, Sumo had the ambition to earn more than 200,000 contribution points on his first day. He also wanted to show off his skills and increase the transaction volume.

And the facts were indeed not much different from what he expected.

Relying on the promotion the previous day, Xinhuo Exchange continued to be popular the next day. In just one day, it sold goods with an original price of 150,000 yuan, and earned a full 30,000 yuan price difference!

What is the concept of thirty thousand?

Calculated based on the basic labor force in Liberty City, a third-level dwarf craftsman lurking among the dwarves can only earn the equivalent of 80 contribution points in a day.

In three days, maintaining the template requires 100 contribution points, but the salary you can earn is only 240. If you subtract the two, you can only get what you really want in one day.

46 points!

But now, the income of 30,000 points a day is directly equivalent to the dwarf craftsman working without sleep for two years without any accidents and without any expenses.

That night, Turner couldn't sleep.

Since twelve o'clock, his mind has been flashing with the majestic image of sitting on millions of contribution points and possessing a seventh-level template.

Until the bell rang at eight o'clock in the morning, his eyes were still open and bulging, not showing any signs of sleepiness.

Wash up and have breakfast.

It was just past eight-thirty, and Turner couldn't wait to go out, preparing to go to the top ten exchanges to purchase a batch of new goods.

However, the reality was somewhat different from what he thought.

The other party who was very straightforward yesterday and didn't even need to pay for the goods in advance, today smiled and rejected his purchase request and gave a kind reminder.

"Wait until the end of today before considering whether to purchase the goods?"

After pondering what the other party said, Turner returned to the Xinhuo Exchange full of doubts.

And the following day also completely taught him what market trading is.

The people selling the goods are still familiar faces, and the people buying the goods are also old acquaintances, and even the goods are the same ones that were sold just yesterday.

When the business closed in the afternoon, Turner did some calculations and was surprised to find that today's transaction volume still amounted to hundreds of thousands.

But the profit in hand is still

Thirty thousand!

The entire market is like a stagnant pool. The raw materials worth more than 200,000 yuan were earned by more than 30,000 yuan yesterday. Today, the turnover is more than 100,000 yuan, and the money earned remains the same.

Even if inflation is taken into account, on this day alone, the exchange not only made no money, but even lost about 3%!

And on the third day, it was the same as yesterday.

The people doing the trading are still those who came to join in the fun on the first day of business, and the materials purchased and sold are still the goods purchased with more than 200,000 contribution points on the first day.

It's just that due to the commodity price control of the top ten exchanges, today's profits have increased slightly, but compared with before, it has only just offset the decrease in profits caused by inflation.

A market with no consumption and no demand will not change at all due to daily false sales.

The Demon Soul Clan who stayed in the city did not dare to use their contribution points to improve their strength, and then went to the outside world to continue fighting and deliver benefits to the city.

The Free City, which lacks the lords to act as a check and balance, looks bright and beautiful on the outside, but its foundation can be broken with just one poke!

"Where is the lord? Where has the lord gone?"

Subconsciously, Hao Qiang wanted to ask where the Demon Soul Tribe Lord was going.

But thanks to Su Deben's training, Hao Qiang stopped the first half of the sentence he was about to blurt out before speaking, and only asked the second half.

"I don't know. No one knows where our lord has gone. Some people said before that the lord has gone to other tribes and may not be able to come back due to other reasons."

"So our strategy can still only be to retreat, preserve resources as much as possible, and wait until this winter disaster is over before making plans."

"But judging from the current trend, one month from now, people in the city will be fine, but those outside will be fine."

"Without them, the circulation of goods will only get worse, and the conflicts in the city will only intensify, alas."

Full of worry, Turner still couldn't see the same enthusiasm from five days ago.

The only ones that exist are the same as the shopkeepers of the top ten exchanges.

decadent!

Not willing to give in!

I want to change but I can’t!

"Shopkeeper, we have a distinguished guest at the door who wants to top up our membership. Could you please go out and draw up a contract!"

The black curtain in the inner hall was lifted, and the reformer with a silly smile stuck out his head.

"Okay, you go over there first, I'll be right back!"

After sending the reformer away and taking a look at Somo who was still sitting calmly, Turner calmed down and said, "Then I'll go out first?"

"Go ahead, just stabilize the deal first, don't be in a hurry!"

"good!"

Compared with last time, Somo this time is more straightforward. In terms of behavior and habits, he has completely given up all the previous pretense.

As for Turner, he didn't know if he was used to this change or if it was because of the unsatisfactory business situation that he didn't have the time to ask about this or that.

As the black curtain was lowered, only the faint light from the oil lamp remained in the inner hall.

"What should I do? What are your thoughts on this situation?"

Putting down the account book in his hand, and remembering the names of several materials with huge shipments that he had just seen, Sumo raised his head.

Hao Qiang raised his head: "I have some ideas for the time being, but I need enough information to support it. The dilemma we face is actually not difficult. There are many cases that we can learn from in the past history of the earth."

"oh?"

Hao Qiang: "The situation in the city is very clear now. It is because the market is not circulating that it is difficult for us to make money from it. In the past, it would have been troubled times!"

"So in troubled times, how can we make money and materials move?"

After a pause, Hao Qiang made a war mouth gesture.

If you want to make a fortune in this situation, the second-ranked owner of the Demonic Exchange, who is in charge of weapons and equipment, has already given everyone an answer sheet.

In the city, all profitable businesses have been completely monopolized.

For example, the food supplies consumed by tens of thousands of people every day are controlled commodities and cannot be brought to the market for large-scale transactions.

Most of the other items in circulation are materials that can enhance personal strength or prepare for disguise, and there is simply no such big demand.

If you want to get everyone's money out of their hands, or if you want everyone to move, the only way is to

External contradiction!

Milder external conflicts can be replaced by infrastructure.

It's like a depression, allowing everyone to make money and have somewhere to spend it.

The money you earn from your own abilities today can be used to improve your capabilities to earn more tomorrow, or the money you earn can make your life better, forming a positive cycle.

More intense external conflicts can only be the main theme in the New World, war.

Forcibly create an enemy, give everyone a sense of urgency, and take out the money in their hands and exchange it for items.

Then, through fighting to support fighting, everyone's strength will be continuously improved in the process.

Moreover, as long as you can conquer the opponent's territory, you can obtain new resources, make the whole cake bigger, and invisibly increase your wealth.

"No, this method cannot be achieved by us alone, and they are not without enemies now."

"The Demon Soul Race is different from us. They are not naturally a race that is good at fighting!"

Rejecting Hao Qiang's first idea, Sumo continued to listen.

With the Bright Empire as a powerful enemy, all the people of the Demon Soul Clan can continue to stick to their true intentions and carry forward their lives.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult to imagine what kind of enemy could put pressure on them.

"We cannot expand external conflicts and let the market flow so that everyone can make money. Then what we do next will be a bit risky."

"After all, no one in the market is making money, and we are the only ones making a lot of money. It is easy to attract the attention and jealousy of these people!"

"My advice is to wait!"

"Our strength is not strong, and our goals are also very small. Coupled with the current situation, when the right time comes, we will be the driving force behind it, and it will be easy to succeed!"

Hao Qiang wrote with his hand and dipped it in the water in the cup. He started writing and talking on the table.

"The current situation is a bit like the end of a game version. Everyone is hoarding things for the next version. No one knows how the next version planning will change the pattern."

"It is very possible that the value of the things we are hoarding now will increase dozens of times when the next version is released, or it may be turned into waste overnight."

"So, in the past, when we revised the version, we would not completely change the appearance, so that all the merchants who maliciously hoard goods and control prices would suffer losses. After all, this would cause turmoil in the game, and then trigger a large number of people to quit playing."

"There is a good way, what is it? Yes, it is a win-win situation!"

"We plan to open some small accounts in advance, use "internal information" as an excuse to win over a group of merchants, and reveal to them in advance the update information of the next version, as well as some items to be stocked. Of course, this news is definitely not It’s free, usually we charge half of the profit, and the more sinister ones may even charge 70%!”

"And what about these merchants? We have taken profits from them, and they have also obtained information about items that will be sold in the next version. In order to make more money, they will not rush to grab these items. Instead, they will think in reverse and do one thing. "

"Yes, just to snap up those items that will be worthless in the next version, further causing the price of the items they want to purchase to plummet."

"When it's about to be updated, they will take over these high-priced items to their so-called apprentices, friends, and lay people, leaving only the group that got the news."

"In this way, after the version is updated, the merchants we support will make a lot of money, while other small merchants can only attribute their misfortune to luck, curse the dog plan, announce the deletion of accounts and withdraw from the game, and greatly maintain the game environment”

Without haste or delay, Hao Qiang said something that seemed to have nothing to do with the current situation!

But sitting next to him, looking at the words written by his hand, Sumo's face was filled with thoughtful affirmation.

We didn’t hire senior executives and marketing talents at the beginning, but now it seems that we were indeed on the right track!

What is needed in today's situation is not hard power, but fantastic ideas that can break the situation.

It's the same as Gou Planning deliberately using entrustment to destroy the market balance and letting businessmen kill each other without any effort to maintain the game environment.

If you cannot expand external conflicts and still want to make money, you can only let people inside die and reduce the number of people sharing the cake.

In this way, while everyone can share the money, even if the Xinhuo Exchange gets a little more, it will not cause reactions from other people.

And if you want to achieve this, the balance point that Xinhuo Exchange is currently at naturally has a huge advantage!

"Very good, you are right, we do have to wait for the right opportunity to take action!"

Seeing that Su Mo understood, Hao Qiang casually wiped it on the table, and the handwriting that just appeared turned into irregular water droplets.

From a lurking perspective, Hao Qiang has become more and more proficient after the tense period when he first entered the city.

Likewise, there was no rush to go out and they sat in the inner hall, the two of them continuing to talk nonsense that seemed to have no meaning.

The discussion didn't stop until Turner came in at noon.

"How's it going? Has there been any change in today's transaction volume?"

Turner shook his head: "It's still the same. Except for the three people who came over to top up their membership cards with 1,000 contribution points, the goods received were still the same goods as before, and the goods sold were only temporarily kept in their hands."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's go to the mercenary trading place later and buy some people back?"

"Okay, that's what I meant. By the way, I can also deal with Hao Qiang's identity!"

He stood up and patted the debris on his body. Seemingly not caring, Sumo revealed the true reason why the two of them were waiting.

Unlike other places where mercenaries are traded, Somo did not see the public part of the ground when he last visited the city.

And this thing is definitely not unfamiliar to people in the city.

"His identity? He is not a mercenary, is he?"

"Yes, I forcibly changed his identity for him without paying the fine. I need to go over and deal with it!"

Using the excuses given by the two guards before, Turner was not surprised and nodded honestly.

Then, along the back door, with Turner taking the lead, the three of them walked out.

Compared with a few days ago, today's Liberty City is still bright and bright, with all the exchange doors open, and a steady stream of people walking in and out, with stereotyped smiles on their faces.

The guards in charge of patrols still wore straight armor and walked through the streets with dignity, maintaining the seemingly chaotic order.

In this city, everyone plays their own "role", day after day.

For those unfamiliar, it is an open, tolerant, and developed port city.

But for the three people who had already figured out the inside story, everything here exuded a disgusting smell of decay.

He greeted the people around him in a formulaic manner. As he walked through more and more streets, Somo narrowed his eyes as he recalled the terrain he had memorized in his mind.

As expected, the place responsible for trading mercenaries is not in a public area.

Regarding this business that may generate huge profits, the Guards still conservatively brought it under control, and there was no accident at this location.

Within the high walls!
