My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! Chapter 532: Internal and external contradictions, “decaying” Liberty City!
Chapter 535 Internal and external contradictions, "decaying" Liberty City!
After has completely emerged, the Saltfire Exchange is no longer independent.
The opening time and the distribution of shopping guide time, unified with the top ten exchanges, changed to 9:00 in the morning.
Winter is approaching, and there are still many people who come to trade today, but there are still very few people who actually buy and sell.
Most traders just regard commodities as stock funds, and keep repeating the operation of buying low and selling high, delusional to earn a "price difference" that others cannot see.
But it's a pity that even Turner, who was not very sensitive to the market standing in the back hall, shook his head with their operation.
"Their approach is really too simple. Although it seems that they can make money every day, or they don't lose money, but in fact, what they earn can't meet the speed of depreciation of contribution points."
"Our Liberty City has already built everything. Except for some controlled goods that cannot be traded, where is there such a big market to digest these goods? Every day, different people take over. False market circulation, but in fact, these things in the store, what they looked like when you left, Hal, are still what they look like now”
Pointing to the "big items" in several rooms, and seeing someone happily buying them again, with an expression of waiting to make a fortune, Turner helplessly sat back on the counter.
I have experienced the exhilaration of earning hundreds of thousands of contribution points in one day. On the first day Su Mo left, he had the ambition to earn more than 200,000 contribution points. go up.
And the fact is indeed not much different from what he expected.
Relying on the promotion of the previous day, the popularity of the Xinhuo Exchange did not decrease the next day. In just one day, the goods with the original price of 150,000 were sold, and a full price difference of 30,000 was made. !
What is the concept of 30,000?
Based on the basic labor in Liberty City, the third-level dwarf craftsmen lurk in the dwarves, and the salary they can earn a day is only equivalent to 80 contribution points.
Three days, maintaining the template needs to consume 100 contribution points, but the salary that can be earned is only 240. If the two are reduced, only one day can really get it.
46 points!
Now, an income of 30,000 points a day is directly equivalent to a dwarf craftsman working without sleep for two years without any accidents and without any expenses.
That night, Turner couldn't sleep all night.
From twelve o'clock, his mind kept flashing the majestic figure with millions of contribution points and a seventh-level template.
Until the bell rang at eight o'clock in the morning, his eyes were still round and swollen, without any sign of sleepiness.
Wash up and finish breakfast.
It was just after 8:30, and Turner couldn't wait to go out, preparing to go to the top ten exchanges to buy a batch of new goods.
However, the reality is a bit different from what he thought.
Yesterday, the other party who was so straightforward that he didn't even need to pay in advance, today smiled and rejected his purchase request, and gave a kind reminder.
"Wait until today is over before considering whether to buy or not?"
Thinking about the other party's words, Turner returned to the firewood exchange full of doubts.
And the following day also taught him thoroughly what market trading is.
The sellers are still familiar faces, the buyers are also old acquaintances, and even the products are those that were just sold yesterday.
When it closed in the afternoon, Turner did some calculations and found that today's transaction volume was still more than 100,000.
But the profit in hand is still.
Thirty thousand!
The entire market is like a pool of stagnant water. The raw materials of more than 200,000 yuan earned more than 30,000 yuan yesterday, and today they spent more than 100,000 yuan, and the money earned remains the same.
Even if inflation is included, the exchange not only failed to make money, but even lost about 3% in one day!
And on the third day, it was the same as yesterday.
The people who trade are still those who came to join in the fun on the first day of opening, and the materials bought and sold are still the goods purchased with more than 200,000 contribution points on the first day.
It is only because of the commodity price regulation of the top ten exchanges that today's profit has increased slightly, but compared to before, it has just offset the profit reduction caused by inflation.
There is no consumption, no demand market, and there will be no change at all because of the false daily turnover.
The demon souls who stayed in the city did not dare to use their contribution points to improve their strength, and then went to the outside world to continue fighting and transfer benefits to the city.
Liberty City, which lacks the presence of a lord to check and balance, looks glamorous on the outside, but its foundation can be broken with a single poke!
"Where is the lord? Where did the lord go?"
Subconsciously, Hao Qiang wanted to ask where the Lord of the Demon Soul Clan was going.
Fortunately, with Su Deben's training, before speaking, Hao Qiang stopped the first half of the sentence that was about to blurt out, and only asked the second half.
"I don't know, no one knows where our lord has gone. Some people said that the lord has gone to other tribes, and he may not be able to come back temporarily due to other factors"
"So our strategy can only be to shrink back, preserve resources as much as possible, and wait until this winter disaster is over before making plans"
"But judging from the current trend, one month later, people in the city will be able to say, these people outside."
"Without them, the circulation of goods will only get worse, and the conflicts in the city will only intensify, alas."
Bringing a lot of worry, Turner couldn't see the momentum from five days ago.
The only thing I have is the same as the treasurer of the top ten exchanges
Decadent!
Unwilling!
Want to change, but can't!
"Shopkeeper, there are distinguished guests at the door, and you want to recharge our membership, please go out and draw up a contract!"
The black curtain of the inner hall was lifted, and the reformed man with a silly smile stuck out his head.
"Okay, you go first, I'll come right away!"
Shut away the reformer, glance at Sumo who is still sitting calmly, Turner gathers himself together: "Then I'm going out first?"
"Go ahead, just stabilize the transaction first, don't worry!"
"Good!"
Compared with the last time, Sumo this time is more straightforward. In terms of behavior and habits, he has completely given up all the previous disguises.
Turner, on the other hand, didn't know if he was used to this change, or because his business was not going well, so he didn't have the heart to ask this or that.
As the black curtain was lowered, only the faint light from the oil lamp remained in the inner hall.
"How to do it, what do you think about the current situation?"
Placing down the ledger in his hand, remembering the names of the materials with huge shipments that he saw just now, Su Mo raised his head.
Hao Qiang raised his head: "I have some ideas for the time being, but we need enough information to support them. The dilemma we face is actually not difficult. In the past history of the earth, there are many cases that can be used for reference."
"Oh?"
Hao Qiang: "The situation in the city is very clear now. It is because the market is not circulating that it is difficult for us to make money from it. In the past, it was a chaotic world!"
"In such troubled times, how can money and materials be moved"
After a pause, Hao Qiang mouthed a war.
Want to make a fortune in this situation, ranked second, the shopkeeper of the Demon Exchange, who is in charge of weapons and equipment, has already handed in an answer sheet to everyone.
In the city, all profitable businesses have been completely monopolized.
For example, the food and materials consumed by tens of thousands of people every day are controlled commodities, which cannot be brought to the market for large-scale transactions.
As for other circulating items, most of them are materials that can improve personal strength or prepare for camouflage, and there is no such a big demand at all.
The only way to get money out of everyone's hands, or to make everyone move is.
External contradictions!
Minor external contradictions can be replaced by infrastructure.
Like a depression, everyone can earn money and have a place to spend it.
The money you earn with your ability today can be used to improve your strength to earn more tomorrow, or the money you earn can make your life better, forming a positive cycle.
Intense external conflicts can only be the main theme of the New World, war.
Forcibly create an enemy, let everyone have a sense of urgency, and exchange the money in their hands for items.
Then, through the method of fighting to support the war, the strength of everyone is continuously improved in the process.
In addition, as long as you can conquer the opponent's territory, you can get new resources, make the whole cake bigger, and increase your wealth invisibly.
"No, this method cannot be realized by us alone, and they are not without enemies now"
"The Demon Soul Race is different from us, they are not born to be stronger than fighting races!"
Neglected Hao Qiang's first thought, Su Mo continued to listen.
With the powerful enemy of the Empire of Light, all members of the Demon Soul Clan can continue to stick to their hearts and carry forward their muddled days.
In this situation, it is hard to imagine what kind of enemy can put pressure on them.
"We can't expand the external contradictions, let the market flow, everyone can make money, then what we do next is a bit risky"
"After all, no one in the market makes money, only we are making a lot of money, and it is easy to attract the attention and jealousy of these people!"
"My advice is to wait!"
"Our strength is not strong, and our goal is also very small. In addition to the current situation, when the right time comes, we will be the driving force behind it, and it will be easy to succeed!"
Using his hand to write, dipping the water in the glass, Hao Qiang began to write and talk on the table.
"The current situation is a bit like the end of the version in a game. Everyone is hoarding things for the next version. No one knows how the next version planning will change the situation."
"It is very possible that the value of the things that are hoarded now will be multiplied by dozens of times when the next version is released, or it may become waste overnight"
"So, in the past, when we revised the version, we would not completely change our appearance and let all the merchants who maliciously hoard goods and manipulate prices lose money. After all, this will cause turmoil in the game, and then cause a large number of people to quit the game."
"There is a good way, what is it? Yes, it is a win-win situation!"
"We plan to open some trumpets in advance, use "inside information" as an excuse to win over a group of merchants, and disclose to them the change information of the next version in advance, as well as some items to be stocked. Of course, this news It is definitely not free, usually we will collect half of the profit, and even 70% for those who are unscrupulous!"
"And what about these merchants? We took profits from them and got the information about the items that will be sold in the next version. In order to make more money, they will not rush to buy these items, but will reverse thinking One thing"
"Yes, it is to snap up those worthless items that will drop in the next version, further causing the price of the items they want to buy to plummet"
"Wait until it is about to be updated, they will take these high-priced items to the so-called apprentices, friends, and casual people, leaving only those who have received the news."
"In this way, after the version is updated, the merchants we support will make a lot of money, while other small merchants can only attribute their misfortune to luck, cursed at the dog planning, and announced that they will delete their accounts and quit the game , greatly maintaining the game environment”
Not in a hurry, Hao Qiang said something that seemed completely irrelevant to the current situation!
But sitting next to him, looking at some words written by his hand, Su Mo's face was full of thoughtful affirmation.
At the beginning, I did not invite executives and marketing talents, but now it seems that I am on the right track!
In the current situation, what is needed is not hard power, but a whimsical idea that can break the situation.
Hegou planned to deliberately use entrustment to disrupt the market balance, and let businessmen kill each other without any effort, just like maintaining the game environment.
If you want to make money without expanding external conflicts, you can only let the internal people die, and there will be fewer people who share the cake.
In this way, while everyone can share the money, even if the salary exchange gets a little more, it will not cause other people's reactions.
If you want to do this, the balance point at which the Xinhuo Exchange is now naturally has a huge advantage!
"Very well, you are right, we really have to wait until the right opportunity to make a call!"
Seeing that Su Mo understood, Hao Qiang wiped it on the table casually, and the handwriting that just appeared turned into irregular drops of water.
From a latent point of view, Hao Qiang has become more and more proficient after the tense period of just entering the city.
Similarly, they didn't rush out, and sat in the inner hall, the two of them continued talking seemingly meaningless nonsense.
The discussion didn't stop until Turner came in at noon.
"How is it, has there been any change in today's transaction volume?"
Turner shook his head: "It's still the same, except for three people who came to recharge their membership cards with 1,000 contribution points, the goods received are still the same as before, and the goods sold are just kept in their hands "
"Forget it, let's not talk about this, we are going to trade mercenaries later, and buy some people back?"
"Okay, that's what I mean, and I can also deal with Hao Qiang's identity by the way!"
Stand up and pat the crumbs off his body. Seemingly indifferent, Su Mo told the real reason why the two waited.
Different from other places, where mercenaries are traded, Sumo was not able to see the open part of the ground when he visited the city last time.
And this thing is certainly no stranger to the people in the city.
"His identity? He is not a mercenary, is it"
"Yes, I forced him to transfer his identity, and he didn't pay the fine, so I need to go and deal with it!"
Using the excuse given by the two guards before, Turner was not surprised when he heard it, and nodded honestly.
Then, along the back door ~IndoMTL.com~ led by Turner, the three walked out.
Compared with a few days ago, today's Liberty City is still bright and beautiful, all the gates of the exchange are open, and a steady stream of people come and go from there, with a patterned smile on their faces.
The guards in charge of patrolling, still wearing straight armor, strode across the street in a dignified manner, maintaining a seemingly chaotic order.
In this city, everyone plays their own "role", day after day.
For those who are not familiar with it, this is an open, inclusive and developed port city.
But for the three people who have already figured out the inside story, everything here exudes a disgusting smell of decay.
Greeting the people around in a formulaic manner, and as he walked through more and more streets, Su Mo narrowed his eyes as he recalled the terrain he had memorized in his mind.
As I guessed, the place responsible for trading mercenaries is not in the public area.
For this business that may generate huge profits, the guards still conservatively bring it under control, and there is no accidental setting in this location.
Within the high walls!
