Chapter 2653 Chamber of Commerce Progress Free Strategy
Soon, Xia Duo saw Orepus who had arrived in Evereska to open up the market some time ago in the shop. After the two parties sat down, Xia Duo took the lead in asking his doubts:
"How did you rent this shop? I remember that the business of the magic supply shop was pretty good when I came here last time?"

"It was good before, but that was before."

Orepus said with a smile: "Not long ago, Amanda's magic supplies store was taken back by the Evereska official because of its involvement in the demon incident, and it entered the bidding and leasing process. At that time, I happened to come to hear After learning about this, I participated in the auction with the attitude of giving it a try, but I didn't expect that I actually got it."

"Such a coincidence? No other factors?"

"It should be a coincidence. At that time, I just came here, and I hadn't registered as the Void Chamber of Commerce. No one else knew my identity, but the possibility of an official arrangement from Evereska was not ruled out."

"Is that so—"

Xia Duo thought for a moment, and felt that it should be a coincidence. If it was the official arrangement of Evereska, after Orepus won the No. 18 of the Mellon Bazaar, he should have given him a hint or something.

Could it be that the elves are so high-spirited and upright, is it really "flick off your clothes when things happen, and hide your body and name deeply"?

And he didn't hide his identity when he came here this time. If the Evereska official has nothing to say, it's a pure coincidence, not a deliberate arrangement.

"Let's talk about the auction of the shop first. Whether it's a coincidence or not will come to light in the future. Let's treat it as a coincidence now. Let's talk about the situation of the chamber of commerce!"

"Yes."

Orepus thought for a moment, and then began to introduce, "Currently, the regular employees of the chamber of commerce are those I brought with me when I came here. The empty warehouse is not an ordinary commodity, and not all elves have the ability to consume it.

"So the chamber of commerce is not blindly promoting it now, but is trying to contact some chambers of commerce in Evereska City. If some chambers of commerce can be persuaded to use it first, it may have a good effect."

"Then has the Chamber of Commerce agreed now?" Xia Duo asked again.

"Most of the dozen or so Everesca chambers of commerce I have contacted so far are interested in introducing void warehouses, and they have all tried out the void warehouses in our Tower of Time, but they are still hesitating. Just a small-scale trial does not mean that What, empty warehouses generally involve large-scale storage, and almost no chamber of commerce dares to take such a big risk."

"Have you mentioned a plan to gradually cooperate and expand the storage scale little by little?"

"Of course it has been mentioned, but this does not completely dispel their doubts. Now many small chambers of commerce are waiting and watching, hoping that larger chambers of commerce will try it out first. They will follow up if they are sure that there are no problems."

"Have you considered signing a contract, and then specifying a deposit in the contract? If there is a problem with the stored items, we will compensate them." Xia Duo asked again.

Orepus has still considered this issue, but he also put forward the opposite point of view, "The deposit is not a problem, the key is that if all the responsibilities are placed on the chamber of commerce, the risk is too great, and it may There are some chambers of commerce that come here to cheat on insurance.”

"Then how did the empty warehouse on the elf side do it in the first place?"

Xia Duo only knew that there was a Void Warehouse on the Elf's side, but he really hadn't investigated how it was built in the first place, but he also had a rough guess in his mind about this issue.

"The Elven Chamber of Commerce almost never directly operated the Void Warehouse. The earliest Void Warehouses were used by the superior families, and later they were gradually opened to the vassal families or vassal chambers of commerce. Those families and chambers of commerce had reached mutual trust before the Void Warehouse, or had to provide .

"Later, some large chambers of commerce with relatively good reputations also began to lease empty warehouses to small and medium-sized chambers of commerce. It was the foundation of the existing large chambers of commerce with relatively good reputations that they had the business of empty warehouses.

"It would be difficult for us to start as a void warehouse from the very beginning. Our only advantage at present is that the price is cheap enough, but this also brings about a problem, that is, the problem of trust."

In the end, Orepus mentioned the low-price strategy again, which was decided by Xia Duo early in the morning, but he raised objections to this when Xia Duo first approached him.

The low-price strategy is not necessarily a good thing in the world of elves, especially for special services like the Void Warehouse. If he hadn't had enough trust in Xia Duo, he would have suspected that Xia Duo might have done this to embezzle the inventory of the small chamber of commerce.

Now, Orepus has brought up the matter again, but Xia Duo still insists on his own opinion, "It is impossible to increase the price. Now the price is the only advantage of our chamber of commerce. If it is the same or even higher than the price of other empty warehouses , Then why should we compete with others!
"Besides, we have already announced the low price. If we raise the price again, what will others think? There is no need to mention the price increase in the future. The biggest dilemma for the chamber of commerce now is not the price, but the trust of others."

After thinking about it for a while, Xia Duo proposed a new plan and asked Orepus for reference, "Since the low price is not enough to attract those small chambers of commerce, then announce to the public that the first chamber of commerce that signs a contract with the Tower of Time Chamber of Commerce will receive ten One-year free use period, five years for the second contract, and three years for the third, do you think there will be chambers of commerce willing to sign this way?"

"This--"

Orepus really didn't know what to say now, he stared at Xia Duo inexplicably, and finally asked what was in his heart, "My lord, what are you trying to do by doing this?"

The service contract of Void Warehouse is signed once every ten years, and once every ten years, the approach of looking for Xia Duo is tantamount to directly looking for a chamber of commerce to give him ten years of free use.

If the other party's mind is bad, the actual maintenance costs incurred in the past ten years may completely bankrupt a normal void warehouse merchant. He really doesn't understand what Xia Duo is planning.

Xia Duo did not disclose his idea of ​​spreading cloud announcements throughout the elves, but used the most common business language in his hometown, "I don't want to do anything else, I just hope to bring cheaper and more experience to the elves. Good void warehouse service."

Even Xia Duo himself doesn't quite believe this, let alone Orepus, but since Xia Duo said so, Orepus will take this sentence as true and promote it.

"The free strategy may indeed attract the first batch of users, but the lord must be prepared to lose money. In addition, you must also consider that other chambers of commerce will continue to wait and see to obtain more free possibilities."

However, Xia Duo didn't care much about this kind of worry. As long as someone started to use it, it would be his victory. Even if he wasn't worried about being boycotted by the elves from all over the world, he would even give the empty warehouse to the elves for free.

Compared with the strategic significance achieved by becoming a cooperative void warehouse provider of many elf chambers of commerce, the maintenance cost is almost negligible!

You must know that the Void Warehouse is essentially in the hands of Xia Duo. To put it bluntly, this is like taking a large number of hostages. There are too many places where you can ask for money in the later stage!

This is how the communication software on the earth works. Put it here in Xia Duo. In the future, the Void Warehouse can also be used to promote the communication fan lock of the Tower of Time.
