85: Lucky Chamber of Commerce Opening
Xiao Xing had no choice but to comfort her. With her here, she added a beautiful scenic line to the Chamber of Commerce.
People who came here to Shop could not only buy treasures but also see many beauties, which naturally gave them a good impression of the Lucky Chamber of Commerce.
Don't think that a Chamber of Commerce can't make a lot of money. Once players become familiar with it, they would bring all kinds of things here to sell.
For each item, the Chamber of Commerce would take a certain commission. If the quantity was large, this alone could earn a terrifying amount of gold coins.
After all, there were too many players in this game. Even if you only earned a few gold coins from each person, it would add up to a huge amount, and this was a long-term source of income.
For this reason, Xiao Xing specifically allocated one floor to serve as a warehouse. Otherwise, there would be no place to put all the items players put up for sale.
Not long after Xiao Xing arrived at the Chamber of Commerce, You Lan brought several women from the Guild. They planned to add to the festivities for the Lucky Chamber of Commerce's opening.
It seemed helping them wasn't in vain.
Xiao Xing gave the women management permissions, letting them play around as they wished. Then, he went to a Cashier System and began configuring it.
To add some fun, he set up a lottery event.
Anyone who came here to check-in could participate in the lottery by spending 1 copper coin.
Every hour, the System would randomly select 100 lucky winners, rewarding each with 10,000 gold coins.
Even ordinary people had a chance to get gold coins, which indirectly helped some average players.
Even though he wanted the players of Dragon Country to grow quickly, with so many players, he couldn't possibly help everyone.
As soon as the lottery was set up, You Lan and the others eagerly came over to participate. 10,000 gold coins were still quite substantial at this stage.
Apart from those Super Rich Players and Guild Big Shots, probably not many people could afford to take out that much.
Immediately, Xiao Xing went to the ninth floor to wait.
This ninth floor had already been configured. Each time someone came up, they needed to pay 1,000 gold coins.
This setup was a necessary measure. Otherwise, countless players would come up to join the fun, and the Tycoons, Super Rich Players, and big shots would have no place to stand.
Each floor of this Chamber of Commerce building was over a thousand square meters, but there were simply too many players. A thousand or so people would pretty much fill it up.
Xiao Xing checked and saw there was still some time. He placed the remaining 40 billion gold coins for sale on the Trading Pavilion.
In less than a minute, the gold coins were instantly bought up. After deducting platform fees, he gained another 30+ billion dragon coins.
Those rich people always had people stationed at the Trading Pavilion, waiting. No matter who was selling, as soon as they saw gold coins, they would instantly buy them up.
After so many days since the server opened, many players had obtained good treasures from grinding and sold them for money, then listed them for sale on the Trading Pavilion.
This situation was common. It's just that as soon as items were listed, they were instantly bought, so it looked like no gold coins were for sale, but in reality, people were frequently selling gold coins.
He kept some Attribute Treasures for the women and sold all the rest.
Various property deedss could also be paid for with gold coins. If someone didn't have that many gold coins, they could directly pay with dragon coins.
That's why Xiao Xing was here, waiting to trade with those Guild Big Shots.
Time quickly arrived at 7 PM.
When the doors around the Lucky Chamber of Commerce opened, countless players swarmed in. The entire square and the area around the Chamber of Commerce were densely packed with figures, with no end in sight.
Most people wanted to see if there really were large quantities of equipment for sale. A small portion had no doubts; they came specifically for the treasures, afraid that if they were slow, the treasures would be sold out.
In moments, the entire first-floor hall was completely packed. People behind couldn't get in at all.
Because it was marked at the Chamber of Commerce entrance what was sold on each floor, players already knew.
When they saw that teleporting to the ninth floor required gold coins, many retreated. Only a small portion were willing to spend the money to go up.
But after those Super Rich Players and big shots entered, they didn't hesitate at all. They went directly to the ninth floor, afraid there would be no space left up there.
For those rich people, 1,000 dragon coins couldn't stop them at all. Only those who were just there to join the fun were unwilling to spend.
Xiao Xing sat in an office on the ninth floor. He wasn't in a hurry to go out. Instead, he opened the Chamber of Commerce interface to check the data for the entire Chamber of Commerce.
Within less than ten minutes of opening, the turnover had already soared to over a hundred million and was still growing continuously.
He roughly estimated that millions of pieces of equipment had been sold, averaging 2,000 to 3,000 gold coins each. The total value of these equipment was only tens of billions of gold coins.
The two types of Attribute Treasures, each increasing all attributes by one, were estimated to sell for about 1 million gold coins each. There were roughly 12 million of them. Their total value was unimaginable.
The specific price was unknown. He had enabled an autonomous bidding mode—highest bidder wins. The final price they could drive it up to would only be known later.
When the Shops were bought, the average price per Shop was around 1 million gold coins. Now that all the Shops in the entire Divine Country were in his hands, the price was naturally up to him.
If he hadn't bought them then, the City's prices would have at least doubled by now. So, Xiao Xing was selling them for about double the price, which made him a fairly conscientious seller.
But now he discovered a problem. Because too many players came, most couldn't even get in, making his Chamber of Commerce feel very cramped.
If this continued, expecting the Chamber of Commerce to remain consistently popular was a bit unrealistic. He thought of a use for the middle floors.
Those Crafting Rooms could make money, but given his Chamber of Commerce's capabilities, these Crafting Rooms seemed redundant.
Because the Crafting Rooms charged by the hour. Although they could earn gold coins continuously, calculated daily, they didn't even earn as much as the spare change from the first floor.
These Crafting Rooms not only took up space but also didn't earn much money. What was the point of having them?
Immediately, Xiao Xing quickly sent a message to You Lan, telling her to go to the Administrative Hall to arrange modifications.
All Crafting Rooms were to be removed and replaced with rows of Cashier Systems. This way, across nine floors, more people could be accommodated.
The equipment he obtained only needed to be placed in the warehouse. Regardless of which Cashier System a player used, they could see and purchase it. So, just replacing them with Cashier Systems would work.
Following Xiao Xing's instructions, You Lan quickly ran to the Administrative Hall to make the changes.
This kind of modification was very simple. The NPCs could complete it in less than 10 minutes. This was the efficiency of the System.
Half an hour after opening, except for the two warehouse floors, all other floors were fully opened.
But within a few minutes, all floors were once again packed with players. Those behind still couldn't get in.
They had brought quite a few gold coins with them, but now they couldn't even enter.
After the people in front spread the word, everyone knew there really were large quantities of treasures for sale. This drove the players who couldn't get in crazy.
Xiao Xing also saw this situation, but the Chamber of Commerce was only so big. He could do nothing about it. After all the items were sold out, the players should calm down a bit.
Opening this Chamber of Commerce, his main purpose was to sell some high-end treasures. For other various equipment and treasures, he still needed the players to provide them.
