Although the System did not interfere with the sales process, it was obvious that a tribe, empire, or even a region would not be able to satisfy Mo Tiankong and the System.
Mo Tiankong needed spirit stones to increase his cultivation. If he had an exclusive supply, it would take a long time to obtain spirit stones. It would not be as fast as eating from a big pot of food. Furthermore, he was running a store, not a supplier. He would not do this.
This was just a shortcut to complete the Main Mission. He could choose to cooperate with some trading companies. Otherwise, he could just open a branch store.
For example, as long as he opened a branch store in the entire continent, it would not take long for it to become popular. There was no need for an exclusive supply. It would not be a problem to create a brand for his own grocery store.
Anyway, the System would take care of the logistics. If he could not take down the grocery store, he could only accept it.
An exclusive supply meant that idle warriors would not be able to buy from him. The System would probably not agree to only supply to the Wei Clan and let the Wei Clan sell it.
A long time ago, there was a Hu trading company that wanted to do this. Mo Tiankong had also directly rejected it. At that time, the sales were not as high as now.
Mo Tiankong still had the ability to see the big picture, so this was impossible. Otherwise, why would he spend so much effort to get warriors to buy from the Aquamarine Empire's grocery store?
"I'm afraid Manager Wei doesn't know that I'm running my own store. I don't specialize in supplying to the Wei Clan, so I'm afraid it's impossible." Without thinking much, Mo Tiankong directly rejected.
One hundred million spirit stones was indeed very tempting, but Mo Tiankong was not a short-sighted person. The bargaining chip was not enough.
If he gave ten billion spirit stones a year, the System might also agree. Mo Tiankong did not even need to be mentioned. However, the Wei Clan might not be able to accumulate so many spirit stones even if they gave them another hundred years.
One of the reasons was that the formation of spirit stones was slow. Another reason was that spirit stones were usually consumed. The size of the tribe meant that the consumption was also very large. Taking out 100 million spirit stones to purchase every year was already the limit of what the tribe could afford.
No matter how much he had, he couldn't take it out. Moreover, he had to take it out one after another in a year. He was thinking of using the spirit stones he had earned after selling the items to continue purchasing.
"Store Manager Mo, do you think 100 million Spirit Stones is too little? Then I'll make the decision. How about adding another 50 million Spirit Stones?" Wei Ling put down his teacup and pondered for a moment.
An additional 50 million was already the Wei Clan's bottom line. It was already very difficult to take out so many Spirit Stones in the first year of the transaction. After all, this was not their only business.
The other businesses also required a lot of spirit stones. In addition to the running of the tribe, there were also the cultivation resources required by the high-ranking martial artists in the tribe. This could be a huge expenditure.
Previously, they had only agreed on 100 million Spirit Stones. However, as the general manager of the Wei Clan's trading company, he was clear about the finances. An increase of 50 million Spirit Stones within his scope of authority was also the bottom line in terms of purchasing.
"General Manager Wei, you've misunderstood. It's not about the spirit stones. This time, we just happened to pass by Wei City, so we casually sold some items in the store." Seeing that Wei Ling's understanding was a little off, Mo Tiankong explained.
This was impossible. Mo Tiankong would not agree on this point. He was only a small shareholder. The major shareholder, Brother System, would probably not agree.
From the value of the items and the selling price, the System did not want inflation or the like. It also did not want to destroy the existing economic system. Therefore, the prices of the items were relatively cheaper than those on the mainland.
However, in terms of value and selling price, the intention of snatching the market was greater. However, this was also a good thing for martial artists.
If the Wei Clan exclusively supplied the goods, then the Wei Clan could really sell them at whatever price they wanted. Judging from the effect of the items in the grocery store, it could really affect the economy of the entire mainland.
At that time, not only would the Wei Clan not be able to handle it, but the grocery store would also be implicated. Even if the items were really good, if it caused resentment among the people and most martial artists boycotted it, then it would be difficult for the grocery store to move forward.
If the number of people who bought it was small, the accumulation of turnover would be slow, the improvement of cultivation would be slow, and the System would not be able to earn spirit stones. Then, the store would not be able to continue operating.
This kind of thing was not impossible. For example, on Earth, the existence of those who humiliated the dignity of the country would be boycotted by the people no matter how good the items were. Even if a small number of people bought it, it was just a last-ditch effort.
Of course, if this kind of thing happened on the mainland, it would cause dissatisfaction if the price of the items was too high. If the five element marbles were sold for 100 million, martial artists who wanted to break through and had the ability to buy it might buy it. However, for martial artists who could not afford it, this was no different from a sky-high price. Most people would not be able to afford it until they died.
Wouldn't this cause resentment among the people? So what if the items used by Wangzai, a martial artist and martial master, were sold for 1000 spirit stones? Would people be stupid enough to buy it?
If the price was too high, there would be no market for it. The worst thing was to sell it at an average price. There would be a market for it, but there would be many people who could not afford it. It would be a very awkward situation. This was the easiest way to cause resentment among the people.
It was not too high, but it was definitely not low. Although everyone knew that the better the item, the harder it was to obtain it. However, if it was too expensive, one could only choose not to use it.
The System definitely did not want to not be able to earn spirit stones by opening a store in the Tianxuan Continent. Therefore, the price was set in such a way. Moreover, the items in the middle were carefully selected and needed.
Moreover, how did Mo Tiankong analyze the System? The cost was not high. It was clear just by looking at the structure of the mainland. The difficulty of obtaining resources was much lower for those who were strong.
Based on the System's … From the looks of it, items like Wangzai really did not cost anything. It was very easy for Mo Tiankong to earn spirit stones now. He could hunt some Martial Emperor level demonic beasts or use the Treasure Hunting Compass to slowly search for heavenly treasures and spirit stone veins. It was also very easy.
Even without the Treasure Hunting Compass, with Mo Tiankong's mental strength and his long lifespan, he should have been able to accumulate some wealth.
However, it would not be as fast as the System. Therefore, Mo Tiankong was too lazy to do these things. Tens of thousands of spirit stones to hundreds of thousands of spirit stones were still too slow. He could earn a million spirit stones every week just by sitting at home.
Moreover, these were only the current items in the store. In the future, when more expensive items were added, the speed of earning spirit stones would be faster. Efficiency was a must.
In addition, Mo Tiankong also had to run the store, so in summary, he did not have much time to do these things. The speed of earning money now was not slow.
There was also the lottery. After such a long time, he should have accumulated a group of loyal fans. When he went back, he would be able to play something big.
He could also try to use the inheritance pearl as a prize. The construction of Sentry Town should have started. There would definitely be many martial artists who would settle in the city. With the increase in population, there would also be more martial artists who would play this kind of entertainment.
He would talk about these when he went back. He was not sure what the situation was now, but these martial artists were probably tired of the martial technique pills. After all, when they left, they left the martial technique pills as lottery prizes.
The number of lottery tickets sold was also limited. He was not in the store, so it was easier for Luo Ruo to operate alone. In addition, there were only a few spirit stones left at that time. Even if he wanted to buy something slightly more expensive, he could not afford it.
It was all set. The price of 50,000 lottery tickets was two spirit stones each. After deducting the cost, he could still earn 50,000 spirit stones every time it was sold out.
"Store Manager Mo, don't you want to consider it?" Seeing that Mo Tiankong still refused, Wei Ling continued.
His tone was a little cold. In Acropolis City, the Wei Clan had always done whatever they wanted. As the manager of the Wei Clan's business, it was naturally the same. Mo Tiankong's continuous refusal angered Wei Ling a little.
The Wei Clan really wanted to take Mo Tiankong's exclusive supply rights. Money moved people's hearts. It was precisely because they knew the value of these items that they asked again and again.
If Mo Tiankong himself agreed, that would be the best, but this could not be forced.
"Manager Wei, if you want to buy items, you can still buy them now. I plan to leave Acropolis City tonight." Mo Tiankong did not answer directly, but his meaning was very obvious. It was impossible.
Moreover, he also revealed his intention to leave tonight. Although Wei Ling definitely knew, there were several layers of meaning in this.
"That's really a pity. When I have time, I'll go to the Aquamarine Empire to visit Store Manager Mo." Wei Ling picked up the teacup and took a sip, then sighed.
Mo Tiankong also understood that Wei Ling had the intention to chase him away. He did not delay any longer and stood up.
"Manager Wei, then I'll take my leave."
After speaking, Mo Tiankong turned and walked out. He still remembered the way he came. When he reached the entrance of the courtyard, the warrior guarding outside did not lead the way anymore and still stood at the door.
He had finally dealt with the Wei Clan. Everything was done. It was impossible to stay in the city tonight. Even if it was in the wild, it would be relatively safer. If something really happened, it would be easier to deal with it.
In fact, Mo Tiankong's last sentence was also a test. After the Wei Clan made the request for exclusive supply, they did not buy any items. This already explained some things.
Some of the direct descendants of the Wei Clan did not buy any items. In addition, they invited him over today. Their intention was very obvious. They had a big appetite.
Perhaps they did not consider that he would refuse, or perhaps they had other ideas. In short, it was estimated that after leaving the city, it would not be too peaceful.
In the end, although Wei Ling did not ask him to stay, this also explained some things. After all, Acropolis City was the Wei Clan's headquarters. No one would want to cause trouble at home. Mo Tiankong was also a warrior in the Martial Emperor Realm. His destructive power was still very strong.
Of course, these were all Mo Tiankong's guesses. Perhaps the Wei Clan would just let him go. Perhaps he was thinking too much.
However, the probability of this guess was very high. After all, Wei Ling did not buy anything in the end. He even said that he would visit him in the Aquamarine Empire. If he really wanted to buy something, he would not buy it when he was here. He would like to go further to buy it.
