Volume 19 Chapter 118: You need to have a brain when doing business
The reason is actually very simple, but it is also very complicated.
The reason is simple because these people who are attacking our city are actually my customers, so the more people they have, the more I will make. The reason is complicated, which is naturally why the people who attack me will be my customers, and the relationship between them is quite complicated.
To know why the person who attacked me was my client, it has to start with the guild forces in the United States.
In the United States, the main guilds are divided into several large guilds, among which the Holy Guns of the Gun God and the Rainbow Alliance of Eusina are the leaders of that kind of guild, and Terry's Neptune's Palace is considered the top strong war guild. It goes without saying that the three guilds have the status of the United States, and their influence on American players is also amazing.
It is precisely because of the incitement of these three guilds that many American players who "loving freedom" picked up their weapons and launched a battle of freedom against our "evil Eastern organization". As for how many people in this army of purely scattered players and small guilds are really fighting for freedom, how many people are racism, how many people are for the sovereignty of the United States, and how many people are purely for fun, that is not something we need to care about. In short, these people gathered for various purposes, and then participated in this protracted and unprogressive war of attrition for a Chinese guild like us in the United States.
Originally, this war seemed meaningless, but it had different meanings due to the participation of the three major guilds. On the surface, the significance promoted by the Holy Gun Alliance and the Rainbow Alliance was that their battle prevented the further expansion of the evil Chinese forces in the United States. However, in secret, the only benefit of this war is to promote consumption. Yes, it is to promote consumption.
Wars cost money, and the Holy Spear Alliance and the Rainbow Alliance naturally cannot fully contract this fee. Of course, as large guilds, they cannot afford a penny, otherwise others will definitely not pay. Therefore, in the end, the external publicity of the Holy Spear Alliance and the Rainbow Alliance is to support the war at a loss. All the materials consumed in the battle are produced by the Holy Spear Alliance and the Rainbow Alliance, but for players participating in the war, only the production materials fee will be charged, and the two major guilds will pay personnel to contribute to the war against the invasion of our guild.
Such propaganda can be said to be full of incitement, and the supplies sold by the two major guilds are indeed much cheaper than those sold outside. At this price, many people will come to buy these supplies and participate in the war. As the strongest war guild in the United States, the Aquaman Hall was naturally the first to stand up to respond to the call. Not only did they buy a large amount of supplies, but they also sent people to directly participate in the war from time to time. This vanguard and exemplary role naturally attracted a large number of people to participate, thus making the battle large and protracted. But what is the truth?
The truth is that the Holy Spear Alliance and the Rainbow Alliance have not produced any war materials at all. Everything is made by our guild. In other words, the shells, bows, scrolls, and the medicines used by American players to hit us, are all made by us. Of course, we did not make it for nothing. Didn’t those players pay? Although the price is indeed much lower than what was sold outside, it is not really low to the point of losing money. Although based on the price we sold to the Holy Spear Alliance and the Rainbow Alliance, our profit for each item is only about 8%, but we are wholesale to the Holy Spear Alliance and the Rainbow Alliance, and we don’t want us to sell it ourselves. The profit of 8% is a little low, which is also a profit. Moreover, although this project has a low profit margin, it is because it is large in volume and stable demand, so it is still very profitable.
As for why the Holy Spear Alliance and the Rainbow Alliance are willing to help us do this, isn't this obvious? Our guild will sell the things produced by spending 100 crystal coin costs, and add an 8% profit point directly to the Holy Spear Alliance and the Rainbow Alliance. They will get the things and add 8% to the price and sell them at 116%. If this 8% is removed from the cost of sales channels, they can at least make 5% to 6%. The things are not made by them, but they can get 5% to 6% of the profits by just one hand. Why don't you do such a good thing? As for the matter of leaving us alone in producing materials and eating alone, no one with a brain will do it. It seems that you can get 8% more profits by producing materials yourself, but the materials are transformed by themselves.
Is it? Does it take no equipment and labor to produce those things? Do you don’t need to manage these things? Do you don’t need to pay for hiring people? Our guild has several super production bases. In terms of cost control, the Holy Spear Alliance and the Rainbow Alliance are definitely much stronger. We can get 8% of the profits of production, and it would be good if they could produce 2% by themselves. Besides, the fundamental reason why these materials are consumed so quickly is the war against *** City. *** City is our industry. If we don’t cooperate, they can’t continue this matter at all. Even if they solve all these problems, aren’t they afraid of offending me? For such a little profit, they turn against me and turn against the Frost Rose Alliance, and fools do that.
It is precisely because our guild and the Holy Gun Alliance have such a cooperative relationship that for me, the people outside the city are not siegeing the city, but helping our guild generate revenue. They are not enemies but customers to me. Of course, such customers must not be promoted, otherwise the customers will really become enemies.
Of course, some people may say that our guild will also suffer losses and consumption in battle, so it is not cost-effective to do such things for the 8% profit. However, what I want to say is that this is actually cost-effective because this matter needs to be calculated separately.
First of all, although the defense war will cause material consumption and property losses of our guilds, this consumption itself is inevitable. Even without the incitement of the Holy Gun Alliance and the Rainbow Alliance, those American players will not allow a city of Chinese guilds to stand on the land of the United States, which is seriously contrary to the national self-esteem of the American people. Because of this, the incitement of the Holy Gun Alliance and the Rainbow Alliance only increases the frequency and scale of attacks, and the increase in the amount of investment in our guild is not very large.
Secondly, although the defense war is a war, this is a game, a game with combat as its main theme. In such a game, fighting will not only cause damage and losses, which is different from in reality. War in reality will only cause damage. Although many people can whitewash the fact that there is no construction without damage, they have to admit that damage first occurred in construction, and it is quite serious. However, the situation in the game is not exactly the same. Players in the game can be resurrected when they die, although the level will be
It's down, but relatively speaking, the loss is not large. Furthermore, because the personnel of our guild are not part of the same national camp as American players in the battle, we kill each other with experience points and various war points. This is also the reason why our guild always rotates the players on duty in *** City. It's not because the players here have a lot of casualties, but because the upgrade is very fast here. In other words, in addition to bringing us financial benefits, this war also directly creates a large-scale leveling venue for our guild players.
Unlike the general field leveling points, the defense battle in *** City is a city war and is also a national war between different national camps. Although its scale is very small in national war, the system recognizes it as a national war. In the battle, we can get various guild points and get national war points to kill players from other countries, as well as a series of points such as city defense points, enemy personnel massacre points, guild comprehensive points, guild kill points, guild war points, etc.
In short, if we look at the money consumption alone, it may be a small profit, and sometimes we will even lose a little money. However, the huge points and experience benefits it brings are things that you can't buy even if you have money, let alone we can occasionally make some money from it. What's the idiot that is not done with such a cost-effective thing is an idiot.
Standing on the city wall, looking at the American players charging everywhere below, I said to the Blade Queen and the Ghost beside me with a little excitement: "Look, these people are here to give us money."
"Hmm...ah?" The ghost didn't react at first, but after that, he found something wrong. "President, what do you mean..."
"Hehe, you just need to know that these people are crystal coins to us."
"Then can't we attack these people?" asked the Queen of Blade.
I smiled and shook my head. "How can I make money if I don't take action? Of course we have to take action, just be careful not to exaggerate it. Eliminate some people or destroy some supplies. As long as it doesn't affect the balance of the battlefield, it's no big deal."
"I do not understand."
"You don't have to understand. Now you just follow me." As I said that, I summoned Ye Ying and turned over and climbed up. Ye Ying stepped onto the city wall and stepped on the shoulders of the famous unlucky ghost. With a bang, the guy was stepped into the ground like a wooden stake, leaving only half of his head still on the ground.
As soon as Ye Ying landed, I grabbed Yongheng and swung it beside me. The softened Eternal instantly popped up long gun rods and hook blades to both sides. The super-long heavy hook and sickle spear was formed instantly, and then I rushed to the side. I immediately splashed blood. Three American players who rushed up with long swords and rode a war horse with long swords and fell to the ground, and then they were stepped into mud by the war horses behind.
Seeing that I had gone down, the Ghost and the Blade Queen also jumped down. Their fighting style was different from that of the players. Although they could also launch various skill effects through magic devices on their bodies, under normal circumstances they did not like to use that skill. For them, directly slashing with weapons is a common trick, and they have to admit that their common tricks are quite useful.
Although there are masters among the players who were inspired by the Holy Spear Alliance and the Rainbow Alliance, it has to be said that such people are rare, so we didn’t meet a person who was slightly hindered along the way. Of course, it may also be because we were too strong and we killed them without even realizing it when we met a master.
After easily killing a pair from the attacking troops of American players, we went straight away from the rear of the battlefield. Although we were the best opponents to earn guild points, we couldn't use it to kill the enemy here. Naturally, there were many players in the city waiting to score points.
Because we cannot use the teleportation array, after leaving the battlefield, we directly used the flight method to find the headquarters of the Holy Spear Alliance. Of course, we must go in quietly. Although many people in the Holy Spear Alliance know that we have a secret agreement with the Holy Spear Alliance, this matter is shameless after all, so it is always good to be careful.
I only removed the disguise after entering the guild headquarters of the Holy Gun Alliance in disguise mode. There will be no one else here except the middle and high-level personnel of the Holy Gun Alliance, so there is no need to worry about being discovered here.
"Huh? Isn't this President Zi Ri? Why did you have time to come to me?" As soon as I removed my disguise, the Gun God walked out of the headquarters with two people and just ran into us head-on. I glanced at the two people around the Gun God, meaning that it was inconvenient for them to disclose the relationship between us. The Gun God is also a guild leader, so his brain was naturally not slow. When he saw my eyes, he immediately understood what I meant. "Oh, I'll introduce it to you." The Gun God said to the person on his left: "This is Miller, the president of the Magic Technique Research Association."
"Hello." After being introduced, Miller immediately reached out to me and said, "President Zi Ri has always been my idol. Today I finally met the real person."
I shook hands with Miller in a little surprise, then turned politely, and finally asked, "What, I don't seem to have any positive image in the United States, right? This idol...?"
"Oh, I'm talking about technical achievements." Miller quickly explained: "The technical level of your Frost Rose League is really aspiring to me. If I have the chance, I really want to go to your place for research."
I looked at the eyebrow god and said, "I want to dig you back, but I'm afraid that the front foot will take you away, so the back footbrow god rushed to Aisinger."
When the Gun God heard my joke, he just smiled, and then briefly introduced the other person. Obviously, this person is not very good, and it may be just Miller's entourage or something.
After greeting these two, the Gun God asked me to wait, then sent them out of the gate and handed them over to a member to continue seeing them off, and then turned back. "Why are you free to come to me?"
"Why do you have to say hello first when you come here?"
"I just think that busy people like you shouldn't be so idle."
As the Gun God spoke, he walked towards the inside of the guild first, and naturally I followed. Seeing that I was moving, the Ghost and the Blade Queen naturally had to follow him. However, just after we walked through the hall and entered the core area of the guild headquarters behind, two players from the Holy Gun Alliance reached out to stop the Ghost and the Blade Queen.
There are not many people who don’t know me in the game now, and it is even more impossible for such people to exist in a guild like the Holy Spear Alliance that has direct contact with us. So the two guards did not stop me, but they stopped the Ghost and the Blade Queen. Obviously they regarded them as my entourage.
It was nothing to be stopped, but it was bad because Blade and Ghost were not easy to mess with. Since they just showed their personalities, I discovered that the personalities of these two guys were obviously the kind of people who refused to suffer losses. And because they had the habit of pretending to be stupid in front of outsiders, after being intercepted by those two, Blade and Ghost pushed the two people who stopped them at the same time.
If it's just an ordinary person who pushes it, it's nothing, but can ghosts and blades be viewed by ordinary people? These two are simply perverts. With just two bangs, the two players seemed to have just been pushed, but they flew out like shells, and then smashed into the buildings on both sides.
The Gun God looked back at the Blade and the Ghost in surprise. To be honest, he regarded these two as my minions or new demon pets before, but it was not until now that he realized that these two were definitely not ordinary people.
Seeing the reaction of the Gun God, I quickly turned around and scolded the ghost and the blade in a pretentious manner, "Turn off the attack mode, do not attack any personnel or items before leaving here. Ask me first if you need to take action."
"Command, confirm." Blade and Ghost really began to pretend to be stupid again, and answered directly in a mechanical and rigid voice.
"Zi Ri, are these two...motor angels?" The Gun God was really surprised. He didn't notice before, but now he heard their dull voices and looked at their appearance carefully, and immediately he was associated with the ordinarymotor angels in his memory. After all, the two still have a lot in common in appearance.
I pretended to be helpless and sighed: "Oh... don't mention it! These two are the new mobile angel technology verification machines just created by our guild's research department."
"Isn't this good? Why are you sighing? The mobile angels in your guild are more powerful than the next. If the output has not been rising, we wouldn't know how to fight you. This new product has been released, so the combat power must be stronger, right?" The Gun God said with envy and jealousy.
I still felt helpless and explained: "The combat power is indeed very high, which can be said to be ridiculously high. You know my combat power, but if the two of them join forces, I can only hold on for one hour without summoning the magic pet."
"So powerful?" The Gun God was surprised at first, and then suddenly realized. "What's the point of losing you so strong?"
"You don't know! These two guys are indeed strong enough in combat, but I don't know what to do. The artificial souls used in the original mobile sky will be burned as soon as they are loaded in. Finally, I secretly killed two gods, got two gods' souls for them to install. As a result, they can be used when they can be used, but the head is like water. Not only does the reaction always fail to keep up with the speed of the body, but also makes nerves from time to time, and they are all mentally retarded children."
"Damn it, it's really depressing to say that. But technology will always break through."
"Yes, so I'm coming to you now?"
The Gun God looked at me in confusion and said, "What's the use of finding me? You don't know that our Holy Spear Alliance does not have any research on puppet technology."
"I don't want your skills, I only want the soul, the soul of the Free Gods."
"What? Do you want me to help you kill God?"
I pressed the Gun God's mouth and said nervously: "Speak quietly, are you afraid that no one will hear what's going on? Let's go in and talk about it."
