Chapter 196 The barbarian king's equipment spread out
Chapter 196 The Barbarian King equipment store opens (please subscribe!)
After appointing Wang Juting as the deputy store manager, Zhang Fan emphatically told her about his contract with the Peach Blossom Queen, the Tiger, and the Rock King.
"Remember, the three of them only have the right to put equipment on the shelves, and do not have any other rights. Moreover, the equipment on the shelves is also divided according to the proportion of 53 for me, 27 for Taohua, 11 for Tiger and 9 for Rock King..."
As if hearing Zhang Fan's voice, the system actively responded with a prompt.
[It has been detected that the Barbarian King has a contractual relationship with other people. Do you want to start a discount membership system for purchasing equipment?!]
Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment, and then found that all the membership contract discounts that he and everyone else had told him were displayed in the frame in front of him.
The lowest is a 20% discount for first-level members, and the highest is a 40% discount for ninth-level super members. The number of members is clearly stated at the back.
"Turn on!"
brush!
As soon as he finished speaking, a membership system was added to the store interface, and all the people who had previously contracted with Zhang Fan appeared in this system.
[Note: When members purchase equipment, they will purchase the goods at the member price...]
"This saves me the trouble..."
Zhang Fan nodded, considered some details, and checked other conditions of the store. There was indeed no major problem, and then he notified Taohua, Yanwang and Menghu.
After waiting for a few seconds, there was no response. Zhang Fan guessed that these three guys might be in the two teams that played the elite copy.
He sent the male clerk in the shop out, stared at the stone statue in the square, and told him to tell him when someone came out. Then, Zhang Fan turned to Wang Juting and said, "Move your grain business here and the price will double again."
, limited to 100 crystal cores per day..."
"ah?"
Wang Juting was startled and said: "Master Barbarian King, is this too little? Can others buy it?!"
"I'm not forcing them to buy it. Wang Juting, do you think I can afford this grain business now?!"
Zhang Fan said calmly: "I can easily get tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of crystal cores now, how can I afford this little food business?"
"You remember, I, the Barbarian King, opened the door to do the food business, not to make money, but for the sake of other people in the Sky City. Even when my own food is not enough, I am willing to give some of it..."
After getting to know He Qin, Zhang Fan suddenly discovered that the only food seller in Suzaku City was called Poison Toad King. Not only was his price high, but he also had a good reputation and was known as a great benefactor.
On the other hand, there are two grain sellers on their side who have been selling grain for a long time. They have been raising prices all the time, which makes them look like profiteers like the Peach Blossom Queen, and their reputation is not very good.
Wang Juting probably understood Zhang Fan's idea, which was to use food as a means of operation to change the problem of word-of-mouth.
After thinking for a moment, she said again: "Lord Barbarian King, can I stop the grain business for a few days?!"
"How to say?!"
"If we raise prices rashly, others will think that we are profiteers. We might as well stop for a few days and say that there is not enough food. Then, I will send people to act at the door, begging for a wave of food to save lives, and finally take advantage of the trend to increase the price and sell the food to make a profit."
Word of mouth..."
After Zhang Fan heard this, he couldn't help but nodded. He felt that Wang Juting still had something in his mind, so he agreed.
The grain business has become meaningless as he has grown in power. It's not that he's not making money, but he's making too little money. He still has an opening for 100 crystal cores, just to cultivate others' awareness that he has resources here.
It would be even better if we could also cultivate word-of-mouth.
At this time, the male clerk who was watching at the door ran in excitedly and said: "Lord Barbarian King, someone is coming from the stone statue!"
"Um!"
Zhang Fan nodded and said: "Wang Juting, you allocate your own time. I require that the store be watched by someone 24 hours a day..."
Over at the Suzaku City Gate, many shops are guarded 24 hours a day, in order to facilitate the collection and transmission of various intelligence.
Here, there is Wang Juting and two superpowers, who happen to work in three shifts. If there is any big event, we can pass the message to him through Wang Juting, the fifth level.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps at the door.
Rock King, Taohua and Menghu, a group of twelve people, all rushed to the door of the store.
"It's finally opened. Barbarian King, you guy, chasing after the Mulius King, you even forgot about the real thing..."
A group of people poured into the store and looked around, very curious about the place.
"There are a total of 500 equipment grids here. According to the previous contract, I will take 265, Peach Blossom will take 135, Tiger will take 55, and Rock King will take 45. Do you have any questions..."
The three of them came together, calculated it carefully, and found that it was indeed this ratio, so they agreed immediately.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Fan received a reminder from a special store clerk. According to the proportion in the contract, the quantity that the three store clerks could put on the shelves was limited.
So, he directly assigned the quota of three special clerks to three people.
"Okay, I've given you the right to put the equipment on the shelves. Now, it's time to talk about the price..."
After the three of them got the authority, they didn't look much further and started discussing the price with the Barbarian King.
"King Man, we have thought carefully about it. You got the maximum 40% discount on memberships. You took the money, but we didn't gain anything at all. Therefore, the price must cover the 40% discount..."
"The ordinary Neptune and Night King equipment currently on the market is 40 crystal cores, and the price is higher than 67 crystal cores. It is 40 crystal cores at a 40% discount. Therefore, I think this type of equipment should be priced at 70 crystal cores.
nuclear……"
"No, 70 cores is too high. My idea is 65 cores. In this way, others can get a discount..."
"65 is a bit of a loss. I think 67 is just right. If you discount it by 60, it's exactly 40 cores..."
The three people's opinions were basically similar, and they all considered the issue from the perspective of their own interests.
Zhang Fan, on the other hand, has to consider the members' thoughts. After all, his members have the most discounts of 30%, and 40 cores is equivalent to the price of 57 cores.
Before you became a member, you could buy it for 40 crystal cores. But after you become a member, it’s even more expensive. Who can accept this?!
There is no doubt that by agreeing to the price of three people, his membership system will be completely abolished, and his reputation as a barbarian king will be completely stink. He will be trampled on the ground and will be stinky for thousands of years.
Zhang Fan naturally cannot let this happen. For him, equipment is only a part of making money. There is another way to make money, which is to become a member. This is his only benefit, and the other three people cannot do it.
member.
Think about it, before less than 1,000 people signed up for membership, he received 450,000 crystal cores. Compared with the scale of Sky City, which exceeds 10,000 people, the follow-up potential is huge. Moreover, the people of Sky City,
It is still increasing continuously, which means there are more potential customers.
"50 cores, this is the price I give for equipment like the Night King!" Zhang Fan said calmly.
Once this price comes out, no matter what level of membership you are, they will be satisfied and it will be conducive to long-term development.
"50 crystal cores? No! Your price is too low. If you guys want to buy it at a 40% discount, wouldn't it be possible to get a piece of Neptune equipment for just 30 crystal cores?!"
The three people had the same attitude and directly opposed it. For them, it was true that they did not lose money. After all, they did not receive the benefits of membership.
Moreover, they also thought about the membership system, which might allow King Man to make a lot of money in the future, so they had discussed it privately before they met. One person quoted 65, one person quoted 67, and the other person quoted 70, so that Man King could make a fortune among these three.
Choose from a price range.
No matter which one the Barbarian King chooses, the three of them will not lose, and in the long run, the Barbarian King's membership system will be abolished...
"There's nothing we can do about it. The membership has already been approved, so we can't trick people. I, the Barbarian King, am a benevolent, righteous and moral person..."
"..."
The three of them rolled their eyes for a while, knowing in their hearts that the Barbarian King did not want to give up the profits from subsequent memberships.
"Barbarian King, 50 crystal cores will definitely not work. If you price it like this, the three of us will lose 10 crystal cores every time we sell one piece of equipment. This will definitely not work..."
King Yan paused and said, "Unless you take the equipment we sell and make up the price difference to supply it to us..."
"hehe!"
Zhang Fan smiled lightly and said: "I will make up the difference for you, how can you think so beautifully?!"
On the side, Taohua also said: "Barbarian King, it's not that we are unreasonable, but now you have taken advantage of yourself and tricked us in..."
"You think to yourself, you collected 740,000 crystal cores from membership and didn't share it with us, but our equipment is also sold in your store, which means we are losing money to you in vain..."
"That's right, Barbarian King, why do you care about those members? If there is money to be made, let's make it. Set a price of 65, and they have to buy it even if they don't want to buy it. Isn't the profit much more than your price of 50?!"
The three of them spoke to each other, and they obviously did their homework. They acted emotionally and rationally, and tried to convince Zhang Fan from multiple angles.
Zhang Fan shook his head and said: "Don't bother, this is not written in the contract. We discussed the price verbally, so no matter what you say, I will only price 50..."
The three of them suddenly looked like they had eaten a dead fly.
They had also thought about this situation. It was the best situation for the Barbarian King, but it was the worst situation for the three of them. Unexpectedly, the Barbarian King really chose this path.
"Barbarian King, you would rather give profits to those mud-legged people than offend the three of us?!"
"Do you know what it means to offend the three of us?!"
"Pfft~!"
Zhang Fan couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud, saying: "Why, I've offended you three, I can't survive in this city in the sky?!"
"Still, you three pay me membership fees every month?!"
This shop is rented on a monthly basis, and the membership agreements he has with other people are also calculated on a monthly basis. Therefore, even if there are no new members, he can still make some money from the old members by the next month.
Moreover, another reason why Zhang Fan wants to retain the membership system is that in the future, there will definitely be more and more teams that can use equipment. To make money from equipment alone, in the short term, the income will be high, but in the long term, the income will be
On the other hand, the membership system is a huge profit and can continue to operate. No matter how the equipment increases or decreases, the membership money he should collect will not be less!
The two sides broke up unhappily, and Zhang Fan directly asked Wang Juting and others to lay out their equipment in person.
"Neptune equipment is priced according to durability. If the durability is full, the price will be 50 crystal cores. For every 10 points less durability, the price will be reduced by 5 crystal cores..."
Zhang Fan really intends to pursue a long-term profitable development route, so he has to consider the members' experience. On the contrary, he doesn't care about offending the three Taohuayan King Tigers.
As early as when he signed the contract, he knew that he would definitely offend these three people, and there was no way to compromise. First, he would definitely not be able to distribute the members' money to the three people. Second, he would definitely not be able to deal with the issue of subsequent membership recruitment.
It will be given to three people, and then there is the issue of pricing. He will definitely have to follow his own pace.
Taking the three aspects together, he had almost no room for relaxation with the three of them.
"Get your equipment!"
Seeing Zhang Fan like this, the three of them were also very angry. They each started to buy equipment. The prices were as they had thought before. One settled at 65, one at 67, and the other at 70.
Compared with the equipment priced by Zhang Fan, it is difficult for the three of them to sell it at this price.
Soon, the Neptune-level equipment was finished, and Zhang Fan started to equip the mini-boss Sanhong-level equipment.
This time, he didn't bother to talk to the three of them. He directly set a price of 600 cores based on the current market price of 450 cores, which was 10% higher than the standard of the Neptune set.
The reason why the price is higher is because he knows that people who can afford this equipment get at least a 30% or even 40% discount, so the price is set slightly higher.
At this time, Wang Juting was on the side, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she sent a private message: "Master Man King, can we add a reward to members, such as how many levels of membership can limit how much food can be purchased every day..."
privilege!
Zhang Fan couldn't help but take a second look at Wang Juting. This simply took advantage of the members' mentality of enjoying privileges.
After thinking for a while, he replied: "That's right. Think carefully about the details. If you don't do it this time, I will add this privilege next time when I recruit members..."
Now, because of this shop, many people in Sky City have been stabbed, and there are not many crystal nuclei in their pockets. Therefore, Zhang Fan wants to wait for a while for the leeks to grow vigorously before harvesting.
Soon, the equipment for the mini-boss was also put up, and Zhang Fan started to put up the black arm equipment again. This time, he directly put up 8,000 crystal cores per unit price.
In this way, if the member with the biggest discount wants to buy it, he will need 4800 cores at a 60% discount, which is 200 cores lower than the market price.
The reason for this is because most of his members can't afford this equipment now. The price is too low, and Taohua and others may secretly cut it off.
Therefore, Zhang Fan didn't sell much Xuansu equipment. He knew that the sales volume was definitely not good, and the two kings equipment and the three flood equipment were mainly used.
Glancing at the three people gathered together to discuss the price, Zhang Fan took out two pieces of elite black armor and hung them up one after another.
Each piece is priced at 100,000 crystal cores.
One hundred thousand crystal cores, even if you buy it with a 40% discount membership, it still costs 60,000 crystal cores.
To be honest, Zhang Fan thinks this price is not worth it, especially at the Suzaku City Gate next door. The price of the same elite Suzaku equipment is as low as 20,000 a piece. It is also expensive but has no market. Almost no one is willing to buy it.
of flower crystal cores to buy.
"Elite Black Arms Equipment!!"
At this time, the three of them finally discovered the equipment Zhang Fan had hung up, and their eyes turned red.
[Elite Xuanwu Armor (Blue): Increases physical strength by 3 points, increases strength by 1 point, and increases defense by 8 points. Durability 99/100]
"Hiss, if you can put this elite Xuanwu armor on for me, I will immediately gain a little more physical strength and five more points of defense..."
After King Yan was envious, he shook his head again. He was now wearing an ordinary Xuanwu suit. If he changed to just one piece, he would not be able to activate the attribute effects of the full suit, so he just had a look and had no desire to buy it.
Zhang Fan also knew very well that this kind of suit was good and good, but too expensive. Before he could collect a set, he almost only looked at it. Putting it up was also to show everyone his strength as a barbarian king.
After loading the equipment, Zhang Fan explained a few words to Wang Juting, and then took Daiyu off the line directly. He didn't sleep all night, and he was really sleepy.
Seeing the Barbarian King leaving, Taohua, Menghu and Yanwang once again gathered into a small group of three.
"What do you think will happen if the three of us work together to eat all the equipment of the Sea King and the Night King that the Barbarian King hangs out?!"
