Volume 2 The Age of Mountains and Seas Chapter 39 Agreement
Unfamiliar merchants brought news from far away, and also brought potential business opportunities. Wu Qi was originally a "businessman", so he was naturally keenly aware of the stakes involved, not to mention that he now had thousands of people under his command who had to provide food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Although he is now the so-called "Emperor of Heaven", he is not so transcendent. Even though he has made a lot of money from the game, if he can continue to gain greater benefits from the game, who is willing to give up such a good opportunity?
Woolen cloth?
Wu Qi politely received these business travelers in the administrative hall of Abei City. The administrative hall is a single-story conjoined building. From the outside, it looks like a royal palace. It is leaning on the left front of the temple, that is, it faces east and west, and opposite is Tianyan.
Temple, a place where magic is studied and learned.
From the moment they entered the city gate, the merchants were amazed and shocked by the grand scene of Abe City. According to their travels in recent years, the places they visited were extraordinary. However, since the game changed again, the original game civilization
After the destruction, most of them were NPC villages. Although the influx of a large number of players spontaneously appeared many primitive small towns dominated by players, there were still only a handful of such large-scale towns, and Abe City was one of the best.
Even Old Dream City is not even one-tenth of its size.
On the surface, the current Abe City is not even as good as the small towns of the past, but the leader of the caravan, the chubby Xu Shang, praised: "Abe City has a grand plan, neat functions, and has great development prospects."
"You are also a player and have a high status in the local area. Let us not hide it. We are the only government-owned company of the game company - Tianqi Group. We have Xingtian Trading Company and Shiqi Bank under our jurisdiction. Our main purpose is to bring the official currency to the entire game.
The world, promotes the logistics of Longhua Continent, haha..." Xu Shang's plump face bloomed with a proud smile.
"But aren't game companies not involved in games?" Wu Qi was a little confused. He was standing in the middle of the hall, looking like an emperor. The merchants were on the left below, and the nine elders were on the right.
For NPCs like the Nine Elders, Xu Shang and Wu Qi have no taboos. The world has developed to this point. Except that NPCs cannot go into the real world, their wisdom is almost indistinguishable from players.
Players have interacted with NPCs a lot, and through detailed explanations, they can even understand what state they are in. Of course, complete understanding is impossible. Even if aliens come to explain their technology to us, we can’t understand it either!
"Otherwise, just because you can't get involved in the game, you need to set up a company to participate in the game!" Xu Shang smiled and looked around with an eloquent gesture: "In order to ensure the interests of all players, we must ensure that the official gold coins can be widely circulated. What I mean
It is a gold coin that can be exchanged for real currency at the bureau. Just like you, owning such a city of Abbe is not a small fortune, but if there are no gold coins, then your wealth is empty."
"Your Excellency, Emperor of Heaven, my colleagues are very envious of you. According to conservative estimates, the value of Abe City should be around 500,000 gold coins, which is equivalent to 5 million yuan in reality! Of course, you also know that in your current situation, it is impossible to sit still
You have a treasure mountain but you can’t use it!" A thin and handsome young man in the business trip stood up and gave a deafening appraisal.
Wu Qi waved his hand and laughed twice, thinking he was joking! In fact, Wu Qi didn't understand the market, so the valuation might not be much different!
The caravan is quite respectful to Wu Qi. Although they haven't had a close relationship with Wu Qi yet and don't know much about Wu Qi's past, the mysterious aperture behind Wu Qi's head is exactly the same as the one behind the Bodhisattva in Buddhism, showing invisible pressure. Even if it is
Government-run companies are also very polite, although this is mostly due to professional habits.
According to the instructions of the company, in recent years, it has not been easy for them to run this company in the game. When they travel around, they are easy to talk to when they meet someone who sells their accounts. When they meet someone who does not sell their accounts, they just fight against you, rob you of property, and shout and kill you.
Small things...the bitterness of them is not something outsiders can appreciate.
"Just kidding, Abe City does not belong to me personally..." Wu Qi waved his hand and was about to explain to Xu Shang and others.
"Master is above me. If it weren't for Master, we would not know where we would be suffering. Master, no one would dare to disobey us if we were given orders. Not to mention Abe City, our lives are ours, but it depends on Master's disposal."
!" The nine elders suddenly left their seats and knelt respectfully in the hall, expressing their feelings in unison!
Xu Shang and others looked at each other, and a few couldn't help but cover their mouths and snickered. They didn't expect to encounter the legendary cult in the game! Everyone's expressions were different, naturally they were envious, and more jealous. For Jiu
The elder's actions seemed to have been rehearsed and naturally showed surprise and interest.
"Don't let the guests laugh!" Wu Qi quickly stood up to dissuade them. Seeing that the old men were quite stubborn, he had to assume a dignified posture and smiled awkwardly at Xu Shang and others.
"Ahem, His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven, we hope to discuss with you the establishment of a bank and trading company in Abei City, and sign a contract, etc..." Xu Shang gave a slight gesture, and a middle-aged man in the caravan stood up and talked non-stop.
The intention to cooperate came up, and he came prepared, as if he had already had countless talks.
The nine elders were completely outsiders in these matters, so Wu Qi had no choice but to agree on the major principles himself.
Finally, an agreement was reached with Tianqi Group:
1. Allow Xingtian Trading Co., Ltd. to set up a branch in Abe City to operate various industries and ensure employment;
2. Allow Shiqi Bank to operate exclusively in Abbey City and use official currency;
3. Tianqi Group is responsible for the external publicity of Abbey City;
4. Abbey City protects the interests of the group and halve the tax, that is, only levies 10% tax;
5. Tianqi Group has priority to enter the cities under Wu Qi’s jurisdiction.
Finally, there is a clause that Tianqi Group must share the maps of the villages and towns it explores with Wu Qi.
Originally there was no such thing, but there happened to be an episode. One of the caravan members accidentally dropped a scroll from his arms and unfolded it. Wu Qi looked carefully. It was based on the real map of the terrain of villages and towns near Yuanshi Mountain...
...Anyway, Wu Qi was asking for a high price and insisted on sharing Tianqi Group's map resources. Unexpectedly, Xu Shang and others agreed after muttering.
Wu Qi couldn't help but have doubts about Xu Shang's background. It seemed that he was definitely not as simple as a department head. He could even decide on sharing the group map. But that was not the point. Wu Qi had already developed the idea before he knew it.
Abbe City serves as a template for the ambition of building a country dominated by NPCs.
Regarding point 5, Wu Qi smiled and said it was optional, but Xu Shang and others insisted on joining. This inadvertently reminded Wu Qi of something. It seems that the position of game companies in the game world is not so stable.
.
According to the current situation, there are only two ways for the "Agency" to benefit. One is the handling fee drawn from the exchange of real currency and game currency, and the other is the profit obtained from selling golden elixirs. The first way is naturally
It’s a business that is sure to make money without losing money, but the second way is not safe. Who knows what day there will be negative growth. As for selling game equipment and charging monthly fees in reality, it can only be regarded as a traditional business.
The real excess profits are in the game. The growing number of players and the ultra-real game world contain so many business opportunities and economic benefits. If the fat in your mouth is taken away by others, then what will happen?
Called unfair, this is probably the real reason why Tianqi Group was established!
Just imagine, in reality, after it is officially opened to players from all over the world in another month, there will not only be 200-300 million players in China, but billions or even more players, and no one in this world knows yet.
How many NPCs are there? There is no doubt that most of the current NPC gathering places do not use official gold coins. Assuming that official gold coins cannot be circulated and other substitute coins are used, the losses will be huge. The interests of players cannot be guaranteed. It is a small matter, and the company cannot
