Nie Yan and Xie Yao took a stroll around Huahai. The city scenery of Huahai was quite good. More importantly, they were both very familiar with the place and had a different feeling for the city.
As Nie Yan drove the car, he glanced at Xie Yao from time to time. Against the backdrop of the night, Xie Yao, dressed in a long white dress, looked increasingly bright and attractive, like an elf in the night.
"Dad called me and said that my grandpa asked you to go to their villa in eastern Hunan when you are free." Xie Yao looked at Nie Yan, an intoxicating blush flashed across her cheeks.
Nie Yan was silent for a moment and said, "Let's wait a little longer." He didn't want to go to Xie Yao's house now. If he went at this time, he would inevitably have to look at the faces of Xie Yi and others.
"Well, I will tell my father." Xie Yao understood Nie Yan's thoughts and nodded.
The two enjoyed this peaceful time together. Xie Yao had to go back to accompany her parents. Nie Yan still had a lot of things to do in the game. When it was almost time to go online, Nie Yan and Xie Yao went home separately.
Nie Yan returned home, ate some food, and then entered the game.
The time of faith continues to move after a day of stagnation during the day.
If you want to build a territory on a large scale, the amount of money you need to spend is an astronomical figure. Nie Yan looked at the accounts of the Niu Ren Tribe Guild and found that there were about 2.2 million gold coins left. The Starry Sky Pharmacy also had nearly 2 million gold coins on its accounts.
, the Assassin's League has two million gold coins on its books, and Nie Yan's own personal warehouse has accumulated nearly three million gold coins, which is the income of major auction houses and shops.
But this money is still not enough to build a territory, because in a territory, a large city like Carol City can be built from small to large. In addition, any fortress can be built in a suitable place.
A construction project is a huge expense.
What Nie Yan looks forward to the most is that in the territory, he can make his own laws and tax rates, and recruit NPCs to become his mercenaries. If he is willing to pay enough, he can even recruit very powerful high-ranking NPCs.
Class elite.
If there is a powerful NPC army, the foundation of the Niu tribe will be stable, and they can attack the angel hegemony at any time.
There are so many places that cost money to build a territory. Where does the money come from?
The Mist Dispelling Scroll and the gems purchased last time have been sold almost completely. The Niu Ren Tribe has gained a large amount of money from them, but he still needs more ways to make money!
Nie Yan had an idea in his mind. The money that could be earned through ordinary methods was quite limited. Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of gold coins were nothing more than a drop in the bucket for the talented tribe.
If you want to play, play big!
Nie Yan thought of the very cruel methods in the real world, which are dumping and monopoly! The British Empire used this method to achieve the legend of the Empire on which the sun never sets.
When a country's production capacity reaches a certain level and its products want to completely occupy the business of another country, it will often adopt some means, that is, dumping and monopoly. First, a large amount of low-priced goods are used to fill that country's market.
market, suppressing the price of the commodity, making the companies in the other country that produce the commodity have no money to make, so the companies that produce the commodity in that country went bankrupt. They allowed the commodity to form a monopoly in the other country, and then slowly improved.
price, which can generate huge profits.
Nie Yan's goal has been determined. From now on, he will completely control the pharmacy market of the Saturn Empire and the Greenland Empire! The most powerful commercial force that Nie Yan can use is the Starry Sky Pharmacy.
Currently, there are a total of three grand master-level pharmacists in the Greenland Empire and the Saturn Empire, all of whom are in the Starry Sky Pharmacy. However, they did not rush up on their own, but wore long-cherished wish necklaces. Some time ago, Nie Yan asked his men to search everywhere.
I obtained eleven materials for long-cherished wish necklaces and produced three long-cherished wish necklaces with pharmacist skill level +1. Twenty-one of the other twenty-six master-level pharmacists are in Starry Sky Pharmacy, among more than five thousand master-level pharmacists.
Nearly 90% of them are also from Star Pharmacy. In addition, there are a large number of senior pharmacists and mid-level pharmacists.
After Nie Yan's long-term operation, the production capacity of Starry Sky Pharmacy is quite astonishing, accounting for nearly 60% of the market share of the Greenland Empire and the Saturn Empire. Although the Niu Ren tribe has mastered the pricing power of some medicines, the remaining
The 40% of pharmacists under the command are also a force that cannot be underestimated. Every time the awesome tribe has just raised the price of a certain medicine and wants to increase some profits, many pharmacists will immediately rush to produce that medicine.
The price of medicines will soon be suppressed, so Starry Sky Pharmacy has not yet formed a true monopoly. The most important aspect of a true monopoly is to control pricing power!
Nie Yan estimated that if Xingkong Pharmacy could occupy more than 90% of the market, profits would increase at least five times. This is the terrible thing about monopoly.
Dumping is a method to eat up 30% of the market, but dumping must be backed by strong financial resources!
At present, the Niu Ren tribe has a total of nine million gold coins in liquidity. Every day, the income from Starry Sky Pharmacy, Guild Fortress, major shops, major auction houses, Assassin's League and other projects, excluding guild expenses and other expenses, can reach a net profit of about one hundred
With around tens of thousands of gold coins, such a powerful financial resource, if fully utilized, would be extremely powerful.
Maybe it won't be possible to make a lot of money in the short term, but if a monopoly is really formed, the money earned in the future will be enough to cover the huge expenses of building a territory.
Nie Yan already had a perfect plan in his mind, and he quickly called Guo Huai over to prepare for full rollout.
After receiving the news from Nie Yan, Guo Huai hurried over.
"Did you ask me to come here for something?" Guo Huai asked.
Nie Yan briefly explained the plan in his mind. The more he listened, the more frightened Guo Huai became. He exclaimed: "This plan is so incredible. If it really succeeds, only our Starry Sky Pharmacy will be left in the Greenland Empire and the Saturn Empire."
"!" Guo Huai can't imagine how huge profits will be generated if a monopoly is really formed. Moreover, even if the plan fails, the Niu Ren Tribe will only make profits but not lose money. Whether it is short-term or long-term, it will be of great help to the Niu Ren Tribe.
.
Guo Huai suddenly thought of something and said: "But we have to be careful about guilds like Angel Hegemony. They may also get a share of the pie, and they may use financial resources to stop us."
"Even if they succeed in intercepting it, we can still make what we should earn. As long as we keep confidentiality in advance and take it step by step slowly, it will be too late by the time they react." Nie Yan said confidently.
"Okay, you arrange the task, I will do it immediately."
"We will take the first step now. First, we will find some confidants to spread out to major cities and start purchasing medicinal herbs in an all-round way. Our actions must be concealed and try not to attract attention. In addition, we must mobilize a large amount of funds. We only rely on the nine hundred dollars we have on hand.
Ten thousand is not enough. We must gather all the players and subordinate branches of the Niu Ren Tribe, pool their money together, and give them 30% interest a month." Nie Yan said, in reality, 30% interest is no different from loan sharking.
, but in faith, this interest rate is relatively normal, because the gold coins in the game depreciate seriously. Under normal circumstances, the interest rate for ordinary loans is about 20%.
"How much money do you want to borrow?" Guo Huai asked.
"The more, the better! The more money you borrow, the more effective you can achieve, at least 30 million gold coins." Nie Yan said, considering the wealth of the players of the Niu Ren Tribe and its several branches, 30 million gold coins
Not much to them.
Guo Huai opened his mouth and said: "Is this method a bit too radical? If the plan fails or we don't make that much money, we will have to tighten our belts for a while in the future."
"You can do it with confidence, I have a sense of discretion." Nie Yan's attitude was very determined.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Guo Huai immediately began to mobilize people. There were about a hundred confidants, all of whom Guo Huai knew and trusted in real life. Each of them took nearly 70,000 to 80,000 gold coins and began to rush to various places.
Big city.
Nie Yan's plan is actually very simple. Faith is an intelligent system. The number of herbs it produces every day is fixed, which is relatively rare. Some of them are collected by players every day and put on the market to be bought by pharmacists.
Go, and then make various potions and sell them to players. The number of herbs is limited. Basically, every player consumes a large amount of potions when grinding monsters, leveling up or downloading dungeons, so the potions on the market are generally maintained at a balance between supply and demand.
state.
There is not much supply of medicinal herbs on the market. Once Nie Yan's funds enter on a large scale and he starts hoarding medicinal herbs in large quantities, this supply and demand balance will be broken. When Nie Yan's acquisition of medicinal herbs reaches a certain level, medicinal herbs become even more scarce.
When it rises, its price will be pushed up significantly. At that time, the large amount of medicinal herbs Nie Yan has hoarded will suddenly become valuable.
This is not over yet. The increase in the price of medicinal herbs will inevitably push up the price of pharmaceuticals. Because pharmacists want to make money, they will add some processing fees on top of the cost of raw materials. That is the money they make. If this
At that time, Nie Yan used the herbs he had purchased at low prices to produce potions on a large scale. The price of the potions sold was basically the same as the price of raw materials on the market. The situation in the market suddenly became subtle. Starry Sky Pharmacy produces potions.
All of them are low-priced herbs that I bought before, so I still make a profit. However, because the pharmacists outside did not stock up on herbs in advance, if the price of the medicines they sell is the same as that of Starry Sky Pharmacy, they will not make any money or lose money.
As time goes by, pharmacists outside of Starry Sky Pharmacy will definitely not be able to survive. If Nie Yan releases the news at the right time and recruits pharmacists with high salaries, those pharmacists with no way out will naturally gather in Starry Sky Pharmacy. If the market
If all the top pharmacists join Starry Sky Pharmacy, Nie Yan's goal of monopolizing the pharmaceutical market will be achieved.
