SEC Chapter 1800 Renting a Shop in Tianxu!
Chapter 1800 Renting a Shop in Tianxu!
"I spent 50 million to hire hundreds of shills to line up in front of the stalls and buy things, creating the illusion of a hot buying frenzy."
"You know, people have a herd mentality. When they see so many people rushing to buy it, they naturally think it must be a good product and buy it too."
“I limit the supply of each product, and only sell a fixed quantity at a time. Once they are sold out, I put up a ‘sold out’ sign.”
"In this way, those who didn't get one will get anxious and will immediately line up when I release the news, or even pay a premium to buy it from someone else."
"I also implemented a limited-time discount, which is only available during specific periods each day. Once you miss it, the price will revert to the original price. This way, we can concentrate customer traffic during specific periods and create a more bustling scene."
"Finally, there's bundled sales."
"For example, if you buy ten catties of Stardust Sand, you will receive one tael of Wind and Thunder Stone as a gift; if you buy five catties of Wind and Thunder Stone, you will receive a bottle of Earth Vein Elixir as a gift. This can not only boost sales, but also help to get rid of unsold goods."
Qian Duoduo became more and more excited as she spoke: "And I also discovered that the people here in Tianxu are particularly interested in the specialties of the New World."
"They believe that the materials in the new world are purer and the laws they contain are more primal, so they are willing to pay a high price to buy them."
"I seized on this point and emphasized the gimmicks of Blue Star Domain specialty products and unique products in all the heavens in the publicity."
Ye Chuyun nodded repeatedly as she listened.
Qian Duoduo truly deserves to be called a business genius. Although these marketing methods are common on Earth, they seem particularly novel and effective in the world of gods and demons, especially in a place like Tianxu.
"Well done," Ye Chuyun praised.
"However, the supply problem does need to be solved. Production in the Blue Star Region is limited, and it is impossible to supply without limit."
Qian Duoduo nodded: "Yes, so I have an idea..."
"Alliance Leader, we can purchase shops in Tianxu."
"Buy a shop?" Ye Chuyun was taken aback.
Qian Duoduo said excitedly, "Yes, the shops in Tianxu have permanent property rights. After purchasing them, you can operate them freely. If we can open a shop here, we can sell Blue Star Domain specialties for a long time and in a stable manner."
"With shops, we can establish a stable supply channel. Blue Star Region can regularly ship goods here, and we can replenish the stock whenever we run out, so we don't have to worry about supply disruptions."
"Moreover, the location of a shop is fixed, which allows you to build a stable customer base, unlike a stall where you have to rearrange the stall every day and the customers are not fixed."
Qian Duoduo became more and more excited as he spoke: "I have already inquired. The shops in the core area of Tianxu are very expensive, often costing hundreds of billions, but the shops in the outer areas can be bought for about 10 billion to 30 billion."
"With our current sales volume, we can break even as long as we operate stably for a few months."
Ye Chuyun thought for a moment.
Opening a shop in Tianxu is indeed a good idea.
Not only can it bring stable income to the Weiyang base, but it can also allow the special products of the Blue Star Region to truly enter the market of all the heavens and myriad worlds.
The problem is that he is currently short of funds, and he has to compete for the Primal Rune Crystal tomorrow, so he can't make a decision about buying a shop casually.
Qian Duoduo noticed his concerns and smiled, "Actually, you don't necessarily have to buy; renting is also an option."
"Tianxu has a dedicated shop leasing service. The rent is paid annually, and it is approximately one to three billion yuan per year, depending on the location."
"We can rent a small shop first to test the waters. If business is good, then we can consider buying it."
Ye Chuyun's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea. Leasing would reduce the financial burden considerably."
Qian Duoduo nodded: "And I've inquired, and the management office of Tianxu is nearby, responsible for the leasing and sale of shops. We can go and ask them now."
Ye Chuyun stood up: "Let's go take a look."
The two left the stall and, following the direction Qian Duoduo pointed out, arrived at the management office of Tianxu.
It was a magnificent palace-style building, with two rows of guards standing in front of the gate, each with a powerful aura, at least at the peak of the Heavenly Realm.
As Ye Chuyun and Qian Duoduo entered the main hall, staff members immediately came to greet them.
"Gentlemen, what can I do for you?"
Ye Chuyun said, "We would like to inquire about shop leasing matters."
The staff member nodded: "Please follow me."
He led the two to a side hall, where an old man was sitting, leisurely sipping tea.
"Manager Wang, these two people want to rent a shop," the staff member introduced.
Manager Wang raised his head, his gaze sweeping over Ye Chuyun, and suddenly his expression changed.
He put down his teacup, waved for the staff to leave, and then carefully examined Ye Chuyun.
Ye Chuyun was slightly startled. Had she been recognized?
Sure enough, Manager Wang smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you are the guest in the number one VIP room, aren't you?"
Ye Chuyun felt a chill run down her spine, but said calmly, "Manager Wang has a good eye."
Manager Wang laughed and said, "Guest, there's no need to be nervous. I just received a message from the Lord of the Ruins saying you would be coming."
"The Lord of the Ruins specifically instructed me to do you a favor."
Ye Chuyun breathed a sigh of relief; so that's how it is.
Qian Duoduo looked surprised, clearly not expecting that Ye Chuyun had already established a relationship with the Lord of the Ruins.
Manager Wang continued, "If the customer wants to rent a shop, that's easy."
"However, the market lord instructed that there is no need to rent; he will give you a free shop directly."
Ye Chuyun blinked: "Tell me the conditions."
The old man was taken aback, then burst into laughter: "As expected of someone favored by the Ruins Master, your reaction is indeed quick."
"The conditions are simple. First, you can't choose the location of the shop yourself; you can only choose from a few locations designated by the market owner."
"Secondly, although the shops are free, they must achieve a minimum sales volume of 10 billion yuan each month. If this is not achieved for three consecutive months, the shops will be taken back."
"Third, Tianxu will take 10% of the sales revenue as management fees."
Ye Chuyun quickly calculated in her mind.
With Qian Duoduo's capabilities, achieving sales of 10 billion yuan should not be difficult.
Although the 10% management fee is high, considering that the shops are free and in a place like Tianxu, this percentage is actually reasonable.
Most importantly, with a fixed shop, Weiyang's residence will have a long-term foothold in the myriad realms.
"I accept," Ye Chuyun said decisively.
Manager Wang nodded in satisfaction: "Great idea. Please follow me to choose a seat."
He took out a map and spread it on the table.
The map is a detailed floor plan of Tianxu, with various areas, streets, and buildings marked on it.
Manager Wang pointed to several red dots on the map: "These are the locations designated by the Lord of the Ruins. Take a look."
Ye Chuyun looked at it carefully.
There are five red dots in total, distributed in different areas of Tianxu.
The first one is located near the core auction area, where there is the highest foot traffic, but the competition is also the fiercest, and it is surrounded by shops owned by top-tier entities.
The second area is the materials trading zone, where the main customers are weapon refiners and alchemists, who have a high demand for raw materials.
The third area is the cultivation technique zone, which caters to cultivators who have a high demand for cultivation resources.
The fourth is located in the leisure and entertainment area, where the customer base is diverse but has strong spending power.
The fifth one is near the teleportation array, where there is a large flow of people, but most of them are just passing through and stay for a short time.
Ye Chuyun looked around for a while, then turned to Qian Duoduo and asked, "Which spot do you think is better?"
