The so-called hunger marketing refers to a marketing strategy in which product providers intentionally reduce production in order to regulate supply and demand and create the "illusion" that supply exceeds demand to maintain product image and maintain higher selling prices and profit margins.
If you just look at the output of siege equipment, it looks a lot like hunger marketing. But unlike hunger marketing, the supply of siege equipment is really in short supply, and neither the Silver Empire nor Zeng Yi deliberately created the illusion that the supply exceeds demand.
, they have been increasing their production efforts, and the supply is really in short supply.
As the player Xueyiwei said, have you ever seen a monopoly business that is driven by hunger marketing? Monopoly businesses are always about whether you want to buy or not. Except for Zeng Yi and the others, you can't buy it from anywhere else.
Those guild players were not stupid either. They soon realized that Zeng Yi might really have no siege equipment in hand. Now some people panicked. The war was about to begin. Without siege equipment, they were completely lagging behind. You know
The next thing to compete for is the core area of the Persian Empire. If you fall behind, you may really not be able to keep up with the pace of other guilds.
The guilds that had not received the siege equipment were anxious and thought of various ways. In the next few days, Zhou Yi received several flying pigeon letters every day, and some guilds could not help but raise the prices themselves, which made it difficult for them to do so.
Zeng Yidu regretted that he should have left a few siege equipment at that time.
But no matter what those guilds think of, Zeng Yi really has no siege equipment at the moment.
The guilds that couldn't get the siege equipment panicked and even complained to the officials. Zeng Yi was relying on monopoly business and even asked the officials to investigate, but they didn't know that the game company was the biggest monopoly business.
There are also various posts on the game forum asking for siege equipment, and the prices have been raised to several times the original price. Some small and medium-sized guilds that have won a few guilds cannot resist the temptation and actually sell some siege equipment.
Zeng Yi was really angry. He directly told the big guilds that had obtained many siege equipment that if they dared to resell the siege equipment, he would be directly blacklisted. Siege equipment are also consumables and have a certain lifespan. Once
If it is damaged, you have to purchase new siege equipment, and the war is about to start. The major guilds are not so short-sighted and resell the siege equipment in order to make a profit difference.
Another thing that the big guilds have to consider is that Zeng Yi has the franchise rights for arms. All the major guilds basically know that they don’t have such franchise rights. If Zeng Yi is angered, they can use the court to crack down on reselling.
City equipment, that would be troublesome. The major guilds knew very well that it affected Zeng Yi's interests. Zeng Yi was capable of doing anything.
Having siege equipment does not mean that you are invincible. The Western Region has been engaged in siege battles with NPCs for such a long time. Players from major guilds know very well that siege equipment, especially catapults, have a very short range and must be clicked.
It can only be effective at a very close distance from the city wall. If the distance is already within the range of the ballista, players must also conduct certain tactical training on the siege equipment if they want the siege equipment to exert its due combat effectiveness.
Zeng Yi asked Jingfeng and others. Currently, the Tianxiang City Alliance has selected a group of powerful players to form a team of sword and shield soldiers, equipped with huge shields to protect siege equipment.
All the major guilds have similar ideas. This is entirely the player's life to protect the siege equipment. However, in the eyes of the major guilds, the player's life is indeed not valuable. If you can capture the city of the Persian Empire, you will die.
It was worth it the last few times, and at the most, some compensation would be given, but the benefits brought by winning a city in the core area of the Persian Empire would be much greater than the compensation given to the players!
All the major guilds are training frantically, and supplies have begun to be mobilized to the front lines. The situation in the Central Plains is calm, but in the front lines of Persia, undercurrents are already surging. Those guilds that have not taken down the siege equipment will not just watch.
Actively contact those guilds that have goods in hand and form alliances.
What people didn't expect is that those siege equipment actually greatly contributed to the birth of some guild alliances. Now the guilds can no longer satisfy the players' ambitions for hegemony, and all they play is alliances.
Zeng Yi and the four of them had a very good return on their investment. After all the costs, each of them received 50,000 taels of silver. You must know that it only took a few days in total, and most of the money for the four of them was borrowed. This is simply worthy of being said.
It's a huge profit.
After getting the money and paying back the money, the four of them did not leave Persia. Instead, they went directly north and returned to the front line of the Tianxiang City Alliance. After all, they were also considered members of Tianxiang City. Here, they may be the key to the distribution of the guild's power in the future.
They have to be present no matter what they say at all times.
The Bloody Guards have also returned to the front line. During the previous period when the major guilds were encroaching on the territory of the Persian Empire, the Bloody Guards made a lot of money. As the most famous mercenaries in the game, the Bloody Guards have always wanted money rather than their lives.
famous.
In the past, many guilds would hire blood-clad guards as suicide squads when the war was unfavorable. They could dismount and attack the city, and mount their horses to charge. Although the blood-clad guards were few in number, they were really strong, and they didn’t have to worry about being easily sent away by gods.
The issue of divine difficulty is very popular among various guilds.
However, when facing the cities and fortresses in the core area of the Persian Empire, the Blood-Shirt Guards were a little overwhelmed. The defense system of the fortresses and castles in the core area of Persia was too complete. Faced with such a defense system, the Blood-Shirt Guards had nothing to do.
.
Business was not good, so Xueyiwei and the others followed Zeng Yi and the others back to the Tianxiang City Alliance.
The Xueyiwei's business is not very good now, but Zeng Yi knows very well that their business will soon pick up again. If the war starts again, the offensive and defensive battles on the city wall will definitely not be as fierce as before. With the siege equipment
Players, relying on city walls and gates, the Persian Empire probably cannot stop players.
The next main battlefield is basically the street fighting in the city. Street fighting is always the most intense. However, the blood-clad guards are very familiar with street fighting. Following Zeng Yi, they also fought a lot of street fighting, and these guys were dressed in gold.
Against heavy armor like this, the last thing A has to fear is cold arrows. In street fighting, although the speed is slow, it is really effective as an assault force. After the war begins, there will definitely be many guilds hiring them to fight in street fighting!
When Zeng Yi and others arrived at the front line, the Tianxiang City Alliance was almost ready. Jingfeng, Hua Qianyuexia and others were already studying when and where to launch an attack.
