When Dafei returned to the trading house, the surrounding merchants were all cursing and swearing.
Pfft, are you done with your righteousness? Are you sure you were the victims just now? Tell me, you must have been bought by that idiot to scold me, right? Alright, Blood Waves, from today onwards, I will respectfully call you the Director of the Poverty Alleviation Office! Just you wait, I will also make you one of the top ten youths in the country! I will make you the leader of the Red Letter Society!
Dafei nonchalantly started his first trade with the trading house's NPC.
— System Notification: You sold 80 units of fruit wine at 38 gold coins per order, earning 3040 gold coins.
— Newbie Notification: Because your selling price is lower than the purchase price, you are unable to gain EXP from this trade.
It couldn't be helped. After all, fruit wine was a product of this city. It was good enough that they didn't sell it at half price. If it wasn't for the fact that I had to clear out the warehouse for ship repairs, I wouldn't have sold it at a loss.
— System Notification: You sold 125 units of fragrant nuts at 65 gold coins per order, earning 8125 gold coins. You have made a profit of 1825 gold coins. You have gained 182 EXP.
— System Notification: You sold 40 units of Lavender at 200 gold coins per order, earning 8000 gold coins. You have made a profit of 1500 gold coins. You have gained 150 EXP.
— System Notification: You sold 300 units of Morning Wheat at 45 gold coins per order, earning 13500 gold coins. You have made a profit of 1700 gold coins. You have gained 170 EXP.
The trade was completed. I have made a total of 32665 gold coins. This was a huge sum of money in the hands of the current players.
Sure enough, people can't get rich without a windfall. I don't actually want to scam so much money. I just want to get rid of my red name. Sigh, sometimes when the God of Fortune wants to enter the door, I can't even stop him. Wahaha!
Speaking of business, I have to talk about business experience and the city's specialties.
Under normal circumstances, the EXP gained from doing business was only 10% of the profit. However, this was the fundamental difference between a high-level merchant and a low-level merchant.
Doing business required a lot of skill. The prices of goods could change at any time. There were a few situations where merchants could gain EXP. The most common was when the city was in urgent need.
The trader muttered to himself, "Oh my, the city is in urgent need of fragrant nuts!" As such, the merchant would immediately ship a batch of fragrant nuts from Port City to sell and receive a 100% increase in experience. In other words, experience equals profit. There would also be an additional reputation reward. If the merchant was happy, they might even be rewarded with a piece of equipment or a low-grade treasure. When the city was in urgent need, the profits were quite high. It could be said that it was a triple harvest of Gold, Experience, and Reputation.
Then there was the disaster. If a city had a disease, famine, or other negative status, the merchants would transport medicine and food to the city, which would increase the price by another 100%. Then there was the festival. When a city celebrated a festival, merchants would bring wine, sweets, and flowers to sell. The experience gained would also be increased by 100%.
But even so, even if all three buffs appeared in the same city at the same time, the EXP gained by the merchants was still nothing compared to the EXP gained by the players. After all, it took a long time to travel, and at the same time, the Beginner Merchant Ships were small, and the volume of transactions was small.
Then here comes the real blockbuster, cross-border transactions, especially the cross-border delivery of specialties!
When the goods from the Kingdom of the Elves were transported to the Human Kingdom, the profits would be 8 to 10 times that of the goods. The reason why the profits were so high was because the goods were not ordinary goods, but "specialties" designated and certified by the Alliance! Specialties added 100% experience points.
Take Dafei's current situation as an example. If he spent 30,000 gold to buy the city's specialties, the "Oak Statue of the Goddess," and spent 1 month in the game, which was 3 days in real time, to transport it to the Human Kingdom to sell, then the highest price he could sell it for would be 300,000 gold coins. That would mean 300,000 experience points!
300,000 was too little?
The purchase price of the Oak Statue of the Goddess was 100 gold coins per unit. 30,000 gold coins could only buy 300 units, which was not enough to fill the warehouse. So, if he had 100,000 gold coins as capital, and a full load of 1000 units, then transport it over to see what would happen? 1,000,000 experience points!
Earning 1,000,000 experience points in 3 days in real time, who would dare to complain that it was too little? Well, players above Level 60 would still complain that it was too little. However, earning 100,000 gold coins in 3 days would become 1,000,000 gold coins. It shouldn't be too little, right?
What could 1,000,000 gold coins do? Angels were 5000 gold coins each, so he could buy 200 of them! If he had enough Reputation, he could even build a small city in the new world.
Of course, whether it was Angels, large ships with more than 1,000 cargo holds, specialties, or building a city, these were all things that would only appear in the distant future. It was not something that players should consider now. In particular, specialties required players to have high Reputation in the city, the Alliance Reputation, and the level requirement for an overseas travel permit. What was even more troublesome was that specialties were distributed according to the amount of investment the players had in the city.
What was the distribution of investment? A city had a Prosperity Level. Players could spend gold coins to increase the city's Prosperity Level, which would increase the production and quality of the city's goods and specialties. When the quality was high enough, they could even develop new specialties. Of course, it would also increase their own Reputation Level. For example, players who invested 20% of the city's total investment could only buy 20% of the specialties' production. Therefore, during the open beta, there would be large guilds with deep pockets who would engage in a commercial war. They would invest crazily to monopolize the port and squeeze out the investment of other players. The cruelty of this was comparable to invading someone else's territory. The loser would lose everything.
In short, specialties were not that easy to obtain. Normal players would focus on high-quality goods. They would be able to earn 2-5 times the profit if they went overseas to resell the goods.
Dafei held the 30,000 gold coins in his hand. Amidst the scolding from the surrounding merchants, he sighed at how useless the gold coins were. If he had followed his original plan, he would have shouted, "Here's a high-priced order!" There would have been a large number of merchant players coming forward to trade. Then, his cargo hold would have been full. Even if it was not a speciality, as long as he sold it overseas, it would be a huge sum of experience, Reputation, and gold coins. Then, his money would be rolling like a snowball!
Sigh, he had angered the public. Even if he didn't, there would definitely be people who would not tolerate his ship. Life was like a drop of water on the ocean. Life was like a wandering river. He could only repair the ship and prepare for a long-distance mission. What a waste of his talent.
Wait! Specialties? I have them!
Dafei hurriedly opened the items in his bag.
— — Tuna Eggs: Seafood. Tuna can be bred in the fishing grounds of a territory near the sea. Tuna is a very delicious large marine fish. It is very difficult to catch and is very popular in the market.
According to the introduction of new products on the official website, regardless of whether this thing would be recognized as a speciality by the Alliance, as long as it was handed over to the city, it would be equivalent to adding an industry to the city. Not only would his Reputation immediately rise, but he would also be able to monopolize at least 10% of the supply quota of the product. This 10% quota was specially reserved for him. There was no need to limit the amount of goods that could be purchased. Other merchants would not be able to buy it even if they had the money.
In other words, when that time came, he would be too lazy to go out to sea. He would just go to the market and buy all of his tuna stocks. Then, he would just clear the list and throw it out. "Selling the fish at a high price! Big Boss, come and collect it! "
Although his original intention was to keep it for later and sell it according to the market, he could no longer keep it in this situation. Business opportunities were one step at a time. Not to mention that he was in a disadvantageous situation and was losing his advantage. He had to make a big move! Of course, the most important thing was to vent his anger! He had to show off! If he didn't show off, people would think that he was about to die. They would even add insult to injury. Would he still be able to have peace?
So, Dafei made a prompt decision and found the NPC manager of the market. "I want to hand over the seafood."
The manager looked and was pleasantly surprised. "Thank you for supporting the development of our city. We are a coastal city and are suitable to develop this kind of seafood! You will make a great contribution to the development of our city! This is my recommendation letter. Please go to the city hall and find Mayor Oseliman to receive your reward! "
So that was it! Directly meeting the mayor, what kind of concept was that? Students, do you know what level you need to be to meet the mayor directly?
Amidst the chattering and cursing of the merchants, Dafei laughed and walked out. No one knew that it was Lychee!
。。。。。
— — Eroline City Broadcast: Warm congratulations! Dafei has contributed new products to Eroline City. He has made a great contribution to Eroline City. Mayor Oseliman has conferred the title of "Eroline City Honorary Citizen" to player Dafei. Player Dafei's reputation in Eroline City has become "Respected"!
All the players in the city were stunned. Then, the anger of the whole city exploded. "F * ck! Is there any justice in this world! "
