In fact, I understand what they are saying. If opening a store really makes a lot of money, it is impossible for the game company to delegate this authority. Especially the official auction house has been the leader for a long time, and its status is simply unmatched.
It has also led players to form a consumption pattern with a fixed mindset, and they have determined that buying and selling equipment must go to auction houses, just like people now go to Taobao to buy. It is not impossible to fundamentally reverse this situation, but it is very easy.
Disaster.
However, I had my own plan. All their worries were based on the fact that the store tax was higher than that of the auction house, so I had no choice but to use my trump card.
I said calmly: "The tax rate the city lord gave me is only 10%!"
As soon as this statement came out, they were shocked again!
"What? Only 10%??" Mu Xue shouted uncontrollably, "Even the venue rental fee is more than this amount!"
"No way? Is that city lord's brain burned out? It's only 10% of the tax?" Murong Mingyue also said incomprehensibly.
Maybe they have been used to being exploited by game companies for a long time, and tax rates of %, 40% are already commonplace, so they have such a big reaction when they suddenly hear a 10% tax rate.
But I actually think that this tax rate is already very high. In real life, the small self-employed people complaining when we open a store and charge 6%. In the game, they actually think that the 10% tax rate is an extra-legal mercy!
"Brother, how did you get the city lord to agree to only charge 10%?" My sister also asked curiously, "Because the equipment in the game does not cost anything and is exploded from monsters, the tax rate is extremely high.
!Why is he willing to charge you only 10%?"
"Think about it, has anyone ever bought equipment in the armor shops and weapon shops in the four major squares?"
They shook their heads in unison.
"Isn't it because of this that there is no business there?" Shangguan Wan'er asked weakly.
"So the city lord dumped it to me as if it was a loser!" I said excitedly.
They suddenly realized it, but Murong Mingyue rolled her eyes and said, "Isn't that just a loser?"
Mu Xue said extremely calmly: "If it is a 10% tax rate..." Suddenly her eyes lit up and she shouted, "Someone has done it!"
I exhaled and said, "Now you know it!"
In fact, what was not done before is because the system is very stuck in this aspect, almost violating normal economic principles, so there is no room for players to participate at all.
But after the city lord Fatty gave me a privilege, the situation changed.
My store only charges 10% tax. In other words, it is lower than the auction house. What does this mean? It means that I can steal all the auction house's business!
However, you can’t go too far as a person. Once I do this, Tianhen Company will definitely block my account first, so I have to keep a low profile.
Mu Xue said excitedly: "Then what are you going to do?"
I said proudly: "With such a treasured Feng Shui land, it is naturally impossible to sell street goods! My idea is that we only sell high-end equipment!"
"However, high-end equipment is currently in very short supply. Will anyone take action?" My sister said hesitantly, "There are not many pieces in the auction house!"
"Moreover, we must also give priority to supplying members within the guild..." Murong Mingyue also said in a low voice, "Then what other equipment do you think is high-end but can be sold!"
I smiled and said: "These are not problems! Silver Moon City has a population of one million, and not every guild and every player like us keeps all the best equipment for their own use. It is equally difficult to have equipment but no money.
Hard work! Moreover, we may attract more excellent equipment to arm our own troops!"
Even Mu Xue was a little moved by what I said, "Well, it makes sense! If all the high-end equipment in Silver Moon City falls into our hands..." She showed a sly smile when she said this.
"Haha, I know!" Murong Mingyue suddenly laughed and said, "Use this method to attract those good equipment to flow into our hands! And money is not an issue, haha!"
I'm ashamed. Compared with the top-quality equipment in the auction house that is priced at sky-high prices, which is clearly for show off and not really for sale, my method can indeed make the price of the originally sky-high-priced equipment closer to reality. If it is acceptable,
We can digest it ourselves.
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
"Since I have no objection, then the next step is the financing issue! To put it bluntly, I don't have that much money..." I said directly.
Mu Xue said with a smile: "How much does it cost?"
"The price I asked from the clerk ranged from one hundred thousand to one million. The key is to see the effect of the decoration. If it is exquisitely decorated, it may cost hundreds of thousands!"
My sister and Shangguan Wan'er both looked at me with wide eyes, and my sister said directly: "Tianhen Company is robbing money! The decoration of a store in the game costs 100,000 to 1 million, no.
Just write a few codes? Do you want it to be so dark?"
"Well, that's too cruel! In reality, spending two to three hundred thousand yuan on decoration is already amazing!" Shangguan Wan'er also said in agreement.
"There is nothing we can do about it. Who wants us to hang out on other people's territory?" I said helplessly.
"Then how much money are you going to spend on renovations?" Mu Xue asked flatly.
"I don't know yet. Do you know anyone who knows about interior design?" I asked, "I want to give you a plan first, and then ask how much it will cost!"
Murong Mingyue stood and said, "Leave this to me! When do you want it?"
"Of course the sooner the better, give me the best now!"
"Aren't you in a hurry? The server will be refreshed at twelve o'clock in the evening. Then we will give us the territory and also arrange our headquarters in the fortress!" Mu Xue said intoxicatedly, "We finally have our own territory!
"
"Yeah! The decoration should be warmer and make people feel like home!" I said in agreement.
Many people say that the generation that plays games is a generation that is indifferent to family ties. They will be immersed in games for a day and a night, or even longer, and sometimes ignore their loved ones around them; and more gamers are those who live far away.
Lonely wanderers in foreign lands, thousands of miles away from home, lack the warmth of family, so they place their love in virtual games.
These are all my own personal experiences, so I can really understand the feeling of being alone. If we can create a warm family atmosphere in the game, let all guild members regard the territory as their own.
Home, the cohesion generated is undoubtedly very powerful.
