Chapter three hundred and forty first family history(2/2)
What is needed at this time is a fixed source of supply.
So Cornucopia began to visit street stalls in various places to look for candidates.
To say that you are looking for something is actually a bit exaggerated. The cornucopia is just to see who looks more pleasing to the eye, and more importantly, the level is higher. After all, the higher the level, the better the things for sale.
For these street stall players, it is undoubtedly an extremely attractive condition that the items they buy can be exchanged for cash immediately. Although the price given by the other party will be relatively low, it saves them time, produces equipment and then sells it. This account
It is still extremely cost-effective. In addition, by saving time, you can make a faster leap in level martial arts. After all, this is the ultimate goal of most people who come to the game. The tangible assets and the intangible assets are really profitable.
Of course no player with a bit of brains can refuse it without any harm.
Both the customer base and the supplier base are constantly expanding, and the business of Cornucopia is certainly getting more and more popular.
For medicines or other items that are mainly sold through the system, Cornucopia gets them directly from the system, and putting them in their store is just for show. What they really use to make money is what they collect from those players.
Things. Players often come to Cornucopia’s grocery store to buy medicine, accidentally discover a piece of equipment that they urgently need, and are overjoyed to buy it immediately. The repeated occurrence of this situation makes Cornucopia very proud of its marketing strategy.
While the scale continues to grow, Cornucopia has also made its operations more standardized. At first, I wanted to open as many stores as possible, but later I gradually found that I couldn't take care of it by myself. The NPCs in the system could only stand in front of them.
The store charges money to pick up the goods, but you have to do things like purchasing and distributing the goods yourself.
So Cornucopia finally chose to open its doors in some of the more popular cities, and most of them chose locations near the city gates. This was also a move that was convenient for players - it was the closest place to the leveling point!
Compared with Cornucopia's grocery stores, ordinary players' small stores are really not competitive at all. Many of Cornucopia's original partners opened their own stores after they had money on hand and stopped supplying to Cornucopia.
I found that my price can indeed be higher this way, but I can only set the price myself and play with it. I don’t put it in the store and someone will buy it immediately. It is far less enjoyable than when I cooperated with Cornucopia.
As a result, many players were tempted to turn back, and this time they were determined to cooperate with the cornucopia and could not drive them away.
Of course, Cornucopia is not without competition at all. First of all, there are players like him. Of course, such players cannot be the only one in the world, but because he made a fortune due to "basic martial arts" at that time, he suddenly jumped to the top.
, but he is the only one. His strong capital allows him to start earlier than everyone else. And these players are chasing behind him at this time. On the surface, it seems that everyone is in danger of grabbing the supply of goods, but in fact, the supply of goods
The quantity is completely disproportionate to those of them, and there is no possibility of disputes over the shortage of supplies.
The second type of competition is a store opened jointly by several players. This type of store is self-sufficient for several players, and the goods are relatively complete, but after all, they open the store to save themselves time and have someone to handle things.
They are not as concerned as the Cornucopia. Basically, they just throw the equipment in and let it fend for themselves. They will not do things like the Cornucopia where they also buy systematic things to support their appearance, so
There is also a gap between this kind of store and the Cornucopia.
The third type is a new one recently, and it is not only targeted at the cornucopia, but almost all players' shops will be challenged by it, and its strength cannot be underestimated. This category is the shops opened by gangs. By gangs
Of course, for a shop opened in the name of a gang, members of their own gang can take things for consignment. How to coordinate the future is their internal matter and unknown to outsiders. But in short, this kind of shop is supported by all gang members.
Needless to say, the source of goods, as for the source of customers, first of all, people from one's own gang will naturally source materials nearby. And with the support of gangs, there may be some tricks they can come up with.
Cornucopia has always been talked about with great joy, but until here, it gradually turned into a sad look.
Feng Xiaoxiao said: "No wonder I've been a little depressed during this period, and I've thought about giving up doing business. Is it because I'm afraid that I won't be able to compete with others?"
Cornucopia said: "Think about it! If it's just one family or two gangs doing this, it's okay, but there is always a pattern in the world. Once this family does it, the next family will immediately follow suit. I guess it won't be long before everyone
Every gang will have its own shop, and this will become a scene. At that time...hey...you also know that in this world, people like you who don’t have gangs, and players like me who are full-time businessmen, will be
They are very rare. Take the people I am currently suppliers to, none of them are gang-free. When their respective gangs open shops, even if their gangs do not require it, the purchase price here has always been relatively low.
, the sales of shops like gangs are definitely much better than those of ordinary players’ small shops, they don’t have to worry about not being able to sell things, will they still choose to deal with me at a low price?”
Feng Xiaoxiao nodded and said: "That's right! It seems like it will only be a matter of time before your shops close down!"
Cornucopia spat on the ground several times, calling Feng Xiaoxiao bad luck. Then he said: "These gangs are really good. If you have nothing to do, just go and help fight. Why are you getting involved in our business and not letting people live?"
Got it!"
But Feng Xiaoxiao touched his chin and muttered: "It turns out that the saying 'there are many people, there is strength' is true wherever you put it! I thought it was only useful when fighting and working!"
Cornucopia rolled her eyes and said, "Get out of here!"
Feng Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "No wonder you suddenly want to form a gang!"
Cornucopia said helplessly: "That depends on the situation!"
At the end, he suddenly said: "Hey, it seems I asked you to come here. Why did I ask you to come here?"
Feng Xiaoxiao also suddenly realized that he had been listening to his nonsense for half an hour, and he had forgotten what he was here to do! He quickly said: "Yes! You asked me to tell you who is the biggest bettor!"
Cornucopia patted her forehead and said, "Yes, yes, yes!"
Feng Xiaoxiao asked anxiously: "Who is it?"
