Zhang Fan originally wanted to keep the water flowing slowly, grow it first, and then slowly cut the leeks.
But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. He planned to merge into the center of the city before the countdown ended. There was a very important problem.
That is, once merged, the clouds of their Xuanwu City Gate will be connected with the clouds of other city gates.
Now, the price of ordinary Double King equipment here at Xuanwu City Gate is around 25 cores after 40% off.
In the same city, the ordinary double king equipment of Suzaku City Gate only costs 18 crystal cores, and the ordinary double king equipment of Baihu City Gate originally only costs 15 crystal cores, but because it was merged into the center of the city, it is now the same as the ordinary double king equipment of Qinglong City Gate. The equipment is the same, with 12 cores in one piece.
As time goes by, the price of their equipment in Kuncheng will be in line with that of Qiancheng. It is not an imitation, but the price of Qiancheng will basically tend to be balanced, which is a meager profit situation that can barely give the fifth-level team the motivation to complete the copy.
In addition, there is another problem, which is the membership system of the Barbarian Equipment Shop.
Currently, Xuanwu City Gate is limited by development and has only one equipment shop, the Man King Equipment Shop, which is the only one in this three-thirds of an acre of land.
But once it is merged into the city center, members of his Xuanwu City Gate will not be able to use it in other stores. This means that most of the more than 5,000 pieces of equipment currently on sale in the city center from more than a dozen equipment shops can only be purchased by others. Come and buy it at the listed price.
Therefore, Zhang Fan must collect all the leeks that can be harvested before this happens, otherwise he will not be able to get anything by then.
Fortunately, he has control over when to connect to the city center.
At this stage, except for himself, the elite team formed by other teams can only pass the elite dungeon. It is even out of reach of the lord level, let alone the king level dungeon.
Especially now that the prestige mission has been released, the Peach Blossom Queen has almost given up on exploring the lord-level dungeon and tried her best to win a prestige mission.
"Lord Barbarian King, if you do this, your reputation may be completely destroyed in the future. After all, the equipment of Qinglong City Gate is sold very cheaply..."
In a conference room in the Blue Building, Xu Sulan said with some worry.
After advising Zhang Fan several times, she almost turned down most matters related to ordinary people, and even gave up part of her power to Yuan Jian, focusing mainly on matters related to people with superpowers.
"There is nothing I can do if it collapses. I will definitely merge into the center of the city when the countdown ends..."
Zhang Fan shrugged. Now, if he has anything to do, he will ask Xu Sulan. After all, this woman is very smart, and with Wang Nannan in the camp, her loyalty can be guaranteed.
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhang Fan plans to wait until the countdown ends and the second wave of power balls arrives to give Xu Sulan a power so that he can contract her, which will make it even safer.
Xu Sulan nodded, pondered for two seconds, and then said: "Lord Barbarian King, I have a way to continue to profit from these members after your reputation has collapsed... "
Zhang Fan was startled for a moment, his eyes quickly lit up, and he asked: "What can I do?"
Xu Sulan was not in a hurry to come up with a solution, but went through the details of how she was going to cut the leeks.
"At the moment, what we can harvest is that the first part is the old members, whose level is not high, and then the upgrade fee is upgraded to 40% off the membership..."
"The second part is to open new member registration..."
"The third part is to take advantage of the fact that it has not yet merged with the city center to reduce the price of the equipment in advance and harvest a batch of crystal cores on a large scale..."
Xu Sulan paused, brushed the hair on one side of her face behind her ear, and then continued:
"After three harvests in this way, when we are connected to the city center, members will find out, no, not only members, but also those who are not members but have bought our equipment..."
"Almost everyone at Xuanwu City Gate will find that there are cheaper equipment in the center of the city, and their members will not be able to use it in places other than the Barbarian King Equipment Shop..."
"At that time, your reputation will completely collapse..."
"Of course, this is not important. What is important is how to make money from it..."
"My idea is to sign a supplementary agreement with all members before merging with the city center. This can be explained in front of the cake..."
Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment and said: "What supplementary agreement?"
Xu Sulan smiled slightly and said sweetly: "All members are not allowed to disclose membership information to non-members."
"Um?"
Zhang Fan was stunned, not quite understanding what this meant, and asked for the reason.
Xu Sulan said calmly: "After the city center is connected, our current prices will definitely not be maintained, and they must be consistent with the city center..."
"However, since we have cut everything, why not cut the center of the city as well?"
"One thing we know now is that the equipment in the center of the city is basically controlled by the people from Qinglong City Gate. Their equipment is purchased from Qiancheng just like you. However, they occupy a dominant position in the market and can flow smoothly.
, slowly lower the price, slowly cut..."
"After you go in, you may not be able to beat them in terms of equipment sales. The most important thing is that you and him are in a competitive relationship. If you want to make a profit, you have to cut your flesh from their hands..."
Zhang Fan nodded. The cake at Xuanwu City Gate was only so big and there were only so many people. Before merging, he harvested it first and basically finished the cake. The rest could only be grabbed from other city gates.
He opened his mouth and asked: "How do you say you want to cut the other cities as well?"
Xu Sulan smiled and said: "If the price is lower than the market price, you can naturally get it..."
Zhang Fan frowned, "But if we lower the price, won't they also lower the price?"
"Have you lowered the price?"
Xu Sulan smiled and said: "Master Barbarian King, take a look, what is the selling price of your equipment now?"
My equipment?
Zhang Fan separated a part of his consciousness, went up to the Sky City, clicked on the cloud, selected the price in ascending order, and saw the cheapest ordinary double king equipment.
"The cheapest ordinary double king equipment costs 40 crystal cores..."
Zhang Fan was stunned. This was the original price. According to the 40% discount membership price, it was actually only 24 cores.
But the problem is that people in other city gates don't know that the equipment hung in the clouds like Qinglong City Gate sells 15 crystal cores, which is really 15 crystal cores, and there are not so many twists and turns.
"You mean, the bosses at Qinglong City Gate don't know if we lower the price?"
"That's right!"
Xu Sulan Yongrongya Trail: "At that time, we only need to sell 25 crystal cores, which will be the same as their actual price. As long as it is lower than this, it will be enough..."
"Besides, I think that since we want to cut, we should play a big one and directly open membership with 50% discount..."
Zhang Fan frowned and shook his head: "We will talk about the 50% discount membership later. Have you ever thought about it, even if we sign a confidentiality agreement for members, but other non-members know about this, can you guarantee that they will not
Tell the people at Qinglong City Gate?"
This kind of thing is based on the fact that the store owners at Qinglong City Gate don't know about it. If they know about it, they will naturally adjust the price.
Xu Sulan's face was radiant, her eyes were bright and she said: "Then let everyone become your member!"
"ah?"
Zhang Fan was stunned, looked at her blankly, and then said after a while: "You just said let everyone become my member?!"
"right!"
Xu Sulan smiled and said: "I thought about it carefully, the only way to cut off other shop owners is to develop everyone into your members, like the three of them, Tiger, Taohua, and Rock King, even if they have control over the shelves
I have the power of equipment, but I can only watch you make a lot of money selling members, and there is nothing I can do to you..."
"In this way, I have a membership and can cut whenever I want, and I can make a lot more money than others!!"
Zhang Fan was a little excited, but then he frowned and said: "But, how can I make other people become my members?!"
Members are just like the WeChat of the Penguin Empire in peacetime. After gaining a dominant position in social networking, as long as Penguin does not seek death, any new communication and social software will no longer be able to compete with it.
And relying on the huge number of users, Penguin has mastered huge traffic. Even if it does not directly generate profits, it can still use this as a basis to tilt the traffic to other software and obtain huge profits from it.
The same is true for the members of the Man King Equipment Shop. As long as the number of members is large enough, no one else will be able to set up another membership system. After all, those who have paid the money first will definitely not be willing to pay it again.
At that time, the owners of other equipment shops may open memberships for free. However, under the same service conditions, if one side is paid by oneself and the other side is free, normal people will choose the one where one has paid by oneself.
.
Because those who have paid can resist and protest if the barbarian king introduces any deceptive policies, but those who have not paid can be cut off and you have nothing to say. Of course, more people are reluctant to bear their own sunk costs.
Human nature is inherently worried about wasting resources. Members who have already paid money to buy them are naturally not willing to throw them away easily, but hope that they will get better and better.
Xu Sulan, with her beautiful hair, raised her head and raised her eyebrows and said: "This is what I think..."
"Before merging with the city center, we will first catch everyone in our Xuanwu City Gate and recruit them all as members..."
"Let the public opinion ferment for a day tomorrow, and guide other members to be dissatisfied with the 40% discount members selling equipment, mainly in the direction that their members have almost no use. After all, most people can buy equipment from 40% discount members, even if the members have 77% discount
It doesn’t even taste good anymore…”
Zhang Fan worried: "What if someone asks me to refund the money?"
"Just cause trouble for you!"
Xu Sulan smiled and said: "I'm afraid that if they don't cause trouble for you, let those members with 10% off, 20% off, and 30% off come to cause trouble for you, so that you can implement the policy the day after tomorrow..."
"What policy?"
"Tomorrow, public opinion will force you to give an explanation to everyone. At that time, you will take the opportunity to be forced to give up your profits..."
"Forced to give up profits..."
Zhang Fan seemed to realize the key point and said excitedly: "What kind of profit transfer method?"
Xu Sulan licked her dry lips and seemed a little thirsty. Seeing this, Zhang Fan directly presented a bottle of water and handed it over.
Xu Sulan reached out and took it, feeling quite satisfied. These actions showed that Zhang Fan already valued her.
She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In addition to her status being improved by Zhang Fan, on the other hand, she felt that after the countdown ended, Zhang Fan had said that she should have a place for ordinary people to become superpowers.
Already.
However, she hopes that she can help her daughter Wang Nannan get a place...
Xu Sulan talks carefully and slowly, drinks water elegantly, and exudes a noble temperament in her movements, which makes people want to surrender.
Zhang Fan will naturally not be affected by this aura, but he feels that Xu Sulan seems to be more attractive today, especially with the bonus of her wisdom, she looks pretty and delicious.
After the conversation slowed down, Zhang Fan had time to look at Xu Sulan and found that she was wearing a lavender sleeveless cheongsam, with a stand-up collar, side slits, and a half-open upper placket, which was uneven and filled with a unique air from top to bottom.
smell.
Especially Xu Sulan's eyes, looking into the distance, seemed to have broken through time and space, and everything in the world had no secrets in her eyes.
What a woman of substance!
Zhang Fan couldn't help but sigh. Although Xu Sulan's outfit today was very charming, which made him a little excited, what she revealed more and more charmingly was her intelligence that could not be concealed.
He didn't notice that although Xu Sulan didn't look at him, the corners of her mouth raised slightly inadvertently.
These days, Xu Sulan has been analyzing Zhang Fan's behavior and thinking about how to keep her and her daughter safe.
A smart person has always had the characteristic of a wise person worrying too much. Even if she is already in a high position, in the eyes of many people, she is already a high-level figure.
But Xu Sulan herself knows very well that in these last days, strength is the most important, especially when there are people with super powers.
Now, she can still block some snoopers by relying on her reputation as a senior executive in the Central Academy, but as time goes by, there are more and more people with supernatural powers, and it is inevitable that some people with evil intentions will be targeting them.
She is fine with herself, after all, she is following everyone, but her daughter cannot be wronged in vain. Even if she wants to be with a man, she must be with the strongest one. Only in this way can she stop all those with bad intentions.
In this camp, there is only one person who can be said to be the strongest, and that is Zhang Fan.
Especially the character that Zhang Fan showed during this period made Xu Sulan a little surprised and admired. She felt that he was simply a born hero, and in this end of the world, he would definitely be able to achieve great success.
After careful consideration, Xu Sulan finally made a plan for herself. She would first become a superpower under Zhang Fan, and then use her own abilities to go one step further and become irreplaceable, just like Daiyu.
Daiyu appeared very suddenly, her status rose quickly, and she became Zhang Fan's friend almost as soon as she came back. This surprised Xu Sulan, who felt that Zhang Fan was not such an easily emotional person.
After careful observation, she came to the conclusion that Daiyu was a superpower, and her ability could make Zhang Fan feel safe.
In other words, in Zhang Fan's eyes, Daiyu is a person so important that he must keep her in his room.
With such an example in front of him, Xu Sulan naturally knows how to do it.
Show your own value first. How important this value is depends on Zhang Fan’s own decision.
But in this manifestation of value, she will definitely become a superpower. As for whether she can be like Daiyu in the future and become so important in Zhang Fan's eyes that she needs to get close to each other and be frank, she doesn't know, but she feels that she hopes
Very big.
Zhang Fan wants the world, and she has the ability to help him conquer the world. On this point, Xu Sulan believes that her goal will be achieved sooner or later, it is just a matter of time.
Zhang Fan needs her wisdom, and she needs the sense of security provided by Zhang Fan. On this basis, love, love, flesh and pleasure can all be used to whitewash it all.
Seeing Xu Sulan sipping water in small sips, as if it would take him a while to quench his thirst, Zhang Fan thought for a moment and probably understood what Xu Sulan meant. He wanted to take the opportunity to ask for benefits.
Zhang Fan said: "When the countdown ends this time, a wave of power balls will drop in reality. At that time, I will control all the power balls and give them to those who have made great contributions..."
He glanced at the vivid texture on Xu Sulan's cheongsam and said lightly: "Your contribution is enough. When the time comes, you will be the one in the superpower ball..."
Seeing the joy in Xu Sulan's eyes, Zhang Fan paused and then said: "If this can happen, I wouldn't mind getting a superpower for your daughter Wang Nannan..."
