Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2591 The Purpose of Monopoly

However, this month is almost at the end of the month, there should be news from the Seven Towers soon, Xia Duo doesn't want to worry too much about it for the time being.

"By the way, how is the production of the new communication artifact going?"

"It's already on the right track. After the Cultural and Art Festival is over, I will notify the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce to start selling it. However, after the test there, the sales of the new communication instrument are not optimistic."

"Oh? Why?" Xia Duo asked curiously, "What did the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce say?"

"They said that the function of the new communication instrument has not been significantly different from the previous ones, and even the improvement in appearance is very limited, but the price is even more expensive."

Speaking of this, Niya couldn't help showing a look of worry, but Xia Duo had already expected this, and he continued to ask Niya, "Then, does the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce use this as an excuse to increase the share ratio or lengthen the return?" What's the payment time?"

"Well, they said so."

"Then you may have been fooled by them. Although the new communication magic weapon is not much improved compared to the previous one, it is enough to have a little selling point. It is connected with the fan lock and has a large enough upgrade space, which is difficult for the old version of the communication magic weapon. of."

The essence of the new communication magic weapon is just a fan lock connector. Except for the appearance, all functions are implemented on the fan lock. Although there is only one communication function now, adding new functions in the future is just an update for the fan lock Just a moment.

Of course, for users who have already purchased new communication instruments, if they want to use new functions, they still need to pay an upgrade fee which is insignificant to them.

In the future, if there are more users and functions of Misuo, Xia Duo is even willing to give new users the benefit of Misuo connector when they activate the service.

The mystery of this is that although Niya has listened to him several times before, Niya's thinking still hasn't broken away from the traditional model of magic weapon production and sales.

"Just tell the people from the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce that the communication fan lock will be upgraded next year, and all users who purchase new communication artifacts can get a free upgrade service."

This is why Xia Duo was willing to give such benefits at the beginning of the promotion of communication fansuo. In the future, all benefits will only be related to new users. Existing users are just meat in the pot. Just maintain it well. Necessary to give too much.

Of course, the existing users and new users here are not only for communication fansuo. If the Tower of Time develops new products in the future, the existing users of communication fansuo can also be converted into new users of new products, and they will also have the opportunity to obtain new benefits.

In a word, the principle is that only by continuously buying new services of My Tower of Time, can you have the opportunity to get some small benefits that are not costly.

Xia Duo once again told Niya about her plan for the communication fan lock. Niya was still the same as before, listening very seriously and seemed to agree, but in the Lingsi network, there was still a trace of doubt.

After all, in Xia Duo's description, the prospect of binding everyone to a communication fan lock is too exaggerated. It is difficult for people who have not experienced that era to imagine that such a scenario really existed.

Even in Xia Duo's hometown, only a few people were able to realize the development potential of this new thing in the early days of the Internet, and the same was true in the early days of communication software.

It wasn't until a giant monopoly with tentacles spreading everywhere was formed that people realized that a small communication software had such potential.

But now, the communication fan lock of the Tower of Time not only has the function of the software level, but also has the actual physical interference ability, such as adding void warehouse components.

Fansuo users can purchase the void warehouse service, so as to obtain a larger storage space than the traditional dimension bag, and can also carry out safer and more convenient remote material transmission.

Xia Duo's long-term goal is to enable every Misuo user to obtain all the daily necessities from Misuo, including spiritual and material levels.

That is to say, everyone is tied to the communication fan lock. Of course, to put it in a more elegant way - the communication fan lock has won everyone's unanimous love.

Of course, as a person who has experienced the bitter fruit of monopoly, Xia Duo is well aware of people's aversion to monopoly. Although he is doing monopoly business now, he will not wantonly cut the leeks of users.

For all services, what is described is what users can experience, without falsification or exaggeration, and will actively listen to user suggestions to improve service quality.

Because Xia Duo didn't do this purely to make money, he hoped that through this method, more people could feel his order, accept his order, and integrate into his order.

……

After talking with Niya, Xia Duo went to see Jay again. Seeing that the season has entered autumn and winter is not far away, there are now more than 20 people from the third plane of Tianshui in the territory, many of whom are still Not well placed.

Even if the resettlement is completed, the living environment cannot be compared to the previous residents. The cold winter is coming, and the new residents must be allowed to survive this severe winter.

In terms of heating, the Great Xia Territory, which is still developing, has no shortage of wood, and it can even be said that the wood is too deep. Long before the arrival of the new lords, Leiden had already started to stockpile fuel for the winter.

But just lighting a fire to keep warm is not enough. The three planes of Tianshui have a pleasant climate, which also means that most of the new residents have not experienced severe cold, and it is impossible to prepare anything in advance. Everything needs to be prepared by the territory.

Such as warm down jackets, and winter-specific ones filled with chicken, duck and other poultry feathers, but even if the territory has collected poultry feathers as much as possible in the past year, it is difficult to provide them to all new residents.

Not to mention that it was not considered earlier that the people of the third plane of Tianshui had no preparations for cold resistance, and it was too late to do it temporarily. What Layton did was to borrow from the citizens who already had down jackets, and at the same time let the subordinates of the territory's logistics department The workshop stepped up production.

People on the main plane have survived to this day, more or less have some cold-resistant means, and the standard down jacket is the first in the south. Some poor people in the interior just stuff their clothes with dead leaves, thatch or straw. Or directly wrapped in animal fur, it is difficult to have a uniform standard.

It wasn't until Xia Duo appeared that a down jacket industry was established in the territory, and the large amount of feather waste produced after the expansion of poultry farming was utilized.

But since he borrowed the down jacket from the leader, in addition to paying the normal rent, he also needs to give the leader some other compensation, such as the opportunity to buy a magic heater in advance.

Xia Duo had previously asked Layton to tell Jay to carry out research in this area. Jay wrote back to him two days ago saying that the design for mass production has been completed, and it can be put into production as soon as the Magic Technician Department of the Tower of Time has spare capacity.

This time, Xia Duo just stopped by to see Jay's recent situation, and to encourage him. After all, he only took this student for a short time, and most of the time he spent it as a freelancer. He is somewhat unqualified as a teacher.

Of course, the current Tower of Time no longer respects the traditional master-apprentice system in the past. This teacher-student relationship is more like a convenient authority given to Jay by Xia Duo. In fact, Jay can receive a complete magic education in the Tower of Time. .
