The sound of gold coins beating continued, and more than 200,000 gold coins were directly deducted from the system.
In the empty store, shining white light began to appear. In front of the players' eyes, neat counters, tables and chairs continued to appear, and the warehouse function on the second floor was officially opened.
The first step of the store's infrastructure has been set up, which cost Li Ming more than 200,000 gold coins.
But the more expensive thing is still to come. One is to name the store, and the other is to open the store's sign. Whether it is opening or setting the content, it will cost a lot of gold coins.
What's even more outrageous is that one word in a store advertisement costs one thousand gold coins...
"Please help me come up with a name for the store." Li Ming asked for help.
"The name must be more grand, it will have a great impact on business." Avril said with a smile.
"Our store will only sell top quality products from now on, let's just call it a top quality store." Fan Hua suggested with a smile.
"This name is too tacky, can it be more upscale?" Lonely Ruyan was not satisfied.
"It's the most troublesome thing to come up with a name. You can just think of any one." Tianya Piaopiao said with a headache.
"If a top-quality specialty store doesn't work, let's call it a top-quality supermarket. It means that our products are not only good, but also cheap." Renshan said with a smile as he was deceived by the pig.
"Tch..." Everyone despised him.
"Since we are going to build a store in the future, the reputation must attract people's attention. Players will have the urge to enter the store at a glance." Li Ming said with a frown.
"I think the name of the Artifact Pavilion attracts the most attention. When players look at the sign and think, wow, there is an artifact, they will come over one after another to see what it is. The popularity can also attract a lot of attention." Fan Hua suggested with a smile.
"The name is not bad, Divine Artifact Pavilion..." Lonely Ruyan did not object this time.
There is no doubt that the word "artifact" is attractive to players...
"Then it's settled. The name of the store will be [Artifact Pavilion]. As for the store advertisement, just write down the purchase of materials on it. After indicating the price, mark the quantity and charge as much as you want." Li Ming said.
"Okay, the material purchase price on the first day is 10 gold coins per type. If no one comes to trade, it will be raised to 20 gold coins tomorrow, up to the upper limit of 40 gold coins. We will not increase the price no matter how much it is." Lonely Ruyan nodded.
"As long as the quantity purchased is sufficient, the price can be lowered to 20 gold coins per piece. We will purchase it for a long time in the future. It is best to monopolize all these materials." Li Ming said with a smile.
"Then hurry up and set it up." Lonely Ruyan said with a smile.
Li Ming quickly set the name of the store and wrote the advertisement in detail, earning tens of thousands of gold coins in total.
Now comes the last step...hire an NPC clerk!
This kind of system store can be open 24 hours a day. Under normal circumstances, it is no problem if players act as store clerks, but players cannot be online for such a long time. If it is really inconvenient, you can hire an NPC clerk to take care of the store on your behalf.
.
NPC shop assistants will faithfully take care of the store according to the settings set by the players. The price of any product will also be sold according to the set price, and no bargaining is allowed.
However, the salary of NPC clerks is not low, and there are also different initial prices for hiring NPCs...
After Li Ming finished setting the name of the store, the long curtain hanging outside the store went blank, and three big words appeared in an instant... Artifact Pavilion!
As soon as you enter the store, a tall signboard is erected, which details the materials and prices that Li Ming needs to purchase, and indicates that it is a long-term cooperation.
Now the last thing left is to hire a clerk.
Opening the store's personnel interface, Li Ming found the employee employment option at first glance. After clicking it, three rows of NPC clerks immediately appeared, and their names were also displayed in different colors...
These shop assistants are all female NPCs, with different heights, beauty and ugliness.
Most of the clerks whose names are displayed in white are ordinary clerks with ordinary looks and figures who only work 8 hours a day.
The hiring price of an ordinary clerk is 100,000 gold coins each, and the daily remuneration is 100 gold coins.
After being hired, unless the owner dismisses it, it will stay in the store to take care of the business until the closing time at the end of each day, then disappear directly and start working again the next day.
The clerks with green names are obviously better looking than the white clerks, and their daily working hours have reached the upper limit of 10 hours.
But their hiring price is also very considerable, each one costs 200,000 gold coins, and the daily working fee is 200 gold coins.
In the third row, there are shop assistants whose names are displayed in blue. They are all as gorgeous as model cars, and their daily working hours have reached the upper limit of 12 hours.
But their prices are also quite scary, with a recruitment fee of 300,000 gold coins and a daily salary of 300 gold coins.
"Let me check, the system is robbing money. Whether the business is open or not, we have to pay the clerk's salary every day..." Fan Hua said speechlessly.
"Sure enough, the store is not something that ordinary players can afford. How much does it cost?" Tianya sighed.
"In my opinion, it's better to recruit two beautiful ones, so that they can operate 24 hours a day, but the salary of 600 gold coins per day is indeed not low." Avril said with a smile.
"I thought that if you gave me 1 million gold coins, I would always be able to leave you a lot. It seems that there is not even a penny left." Li Ming shook his head and smiled.
"We can't save the money we should spend. If we hire two blue clerks, we can at least ensure that the Artifact Pavilion is open all day long." Lonely Ruyan said grandly.
"That's it. The Artifact Pavilion will never close from now on." Li Ming smiled and directly chose to recruit two beautiful NPC clerks wearing classical cheongsam and with graceful figures...
Ding ding ding!
The heart-wrenching beating sound of gold coins continued to sound, 600,000 gold coins were deducted from the system, two blue lights flashed, and two tall and beautiful shop assistants fell from the sky.
"Staff No. 1 has met the boss, please set working hours for me."
"Shop clerk saw the boss on the 2nd, please set working hours for me."
…
A clear and melodious female voice sounded at the same time, and the two beautiful clerks bent down and saluted.
Seeing the beautiful salesperson's perfect figure, Fan Hua and his three teammates suddenly opened their eyes with excitement...
"The working hours of clerk No. 1 are from 0 o'clock to 12 o'clock; the working hours of clerk No. 2 are from 12 o'clock to 24 o'clock." Li Ming immediately ordered.
"Yes, boss." The two beautiful clerks nodded in unison, and one of them turned into white light and disappeared, leaving only the beautiful clerk No. 1 walking behind the counter and standing there quietly.
Li Ming knew that the clerk's job was not only to look at the store, but he could also order the clerk to walk out of the store during working hours and promote the store's products within the vicinity, thus attracting customers.
But this also costs money, and it seems that such a function is not needed yet.
Li Ming deposited all the remaining gold coins in the store's vault, because the clerk's salary will be paid from the store's vault in the future, and he must ensure enough gold coins for expenses.
"The store is open and one million gold coins are gone. Let's see when we can make it back." Caribbean said with a smile.
"Earn it back? Do you know how much this store is worth? It would be scary to make it back..." Tianya Piaopiao said speechlessly.
"Don't worry, you can make it back in the future." Li Ming said confidently.
"I also believe that we will definitely be able to make money." Lonely Ruyan said with a smile.
With the clerk in place and everything ready, Li Ming selected the store to officially start the trial operation.
He and the players put all the unused equipment into the store's warehouse, and then set the sales price. The rest was for the beautiful clerk to automatically put them on the counter, mark the price and start selling...
