Chapter 207 Discount

"These are Hearthstone Tavern's most recent income and expenditure statistics."

Mrs. Marina handed the written account book to Joshua, and Joshua opened the account book and flipped through a few pages.

From the opening of the Hearthstone Tavern to the present, every income and expenditure of the tavern has been carefully written on it, and the total expenditure will be counted every month.

Mrs. Marina has done very well in terms of financial management. After all, this elderly lady rescued a down-and-out chamber of commerce by herself.

How many card packs were sold in this month, Joshua recorded it in the server of that primordial crystal lizard.

Since the size of the Hearthstone Tavern has tripled, the number of magical machines carrying Hearthstone legends has also expanded a lot, so the primordial crystal lizard has two brand new companions.

However, even if such lazy creatures gather together in numbers, they usually just hibernate with their eyes closed.

Joshua checked the money earned from selling card packs and the number of sold card packs in the account book, and found that there was no mistake.

"Mr. Qiao Xiu...I think we need to hire a few more attendants."

Mrs. Marina took out another list of the 'Employee Register'.

"That's fine, but I'm curious where you got these attendants from."

Joshua took the directory that Mrs. Marina handed over, flipped through the contents, and found that it was terribly detailed.

These attendants hired by Marina not only have basic information such as name and gender, but also have past experiences and home addresses.

If it wasn't for the fact that the 'lamp' that Qiao Xiu was using now was a primordial crystal engraved with the spell of light, Qiao Xiu even suspected that he had returned to the earth.

These directories can be regarded as a job resume, the kind without photos.

"Nolan is a city that respects contracts. Mr. Joshua, there are some chambers of commerce here that can provide places to hire workers." Mrs. Marina explained.

"Not...slave?"

For this kind of market, what Joshua immediately thought of was the most common slave market in the Middle Ages.

"I'm getting old and my memory has declined, but the slave trade has disappeared decades ago. Maybe other countries have it, but Nolan absolutely prohibits it." Mrs. Marina said.

"The most prosperous city in the world...?"

Qiao Xiu could no longer describe this city in terms of the Middle Ages. The magic workshop across the river of gears had been in operation for more than 50 years, and the magic machinery produced there had already taken the prototype of modern technology.

For example... a car, Joshua saw a 'car' driven by magic power passing by on the street not long ago. Although it attracted many spellcasters to watch, Joshua believed that this thing would eventually become Replaces the wagon.

Nolan has ushered in the first industrial revolution, and has even opened the door to the second industrial revolution under the catalysis of magic.

And Qiao Xiu helped the residents of Nolan open the door to the information age first.

"Mrs. Marina, please take me with you when you go to the market to hire servants next time."

Joshua handed over the list to Mrs. Marina.

In this world, the technology tree of human beings is climbing too fast, whether it is for civilian or military use... However, the social ecology of the demon world, according to the memory of the third prince, still stays at the level of the "medieval".

Although Qiao Xiu didn't want to participate in the struggle against the forces of the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm was Qiao Xiu's hometown after all, and it wouldn't be fun if the gates were blasted open by humans with '380mm cannons'.

But this is not what Qiao Xiu needs to worry about. Qiao Xiu's sister Cecily has been working hard to change the pedantic and backward demon world. I hope that after she gets the magic net, she can have a better understanding of the current human world.

What Joshua should consider now is to expand the manpower of his 'Entertainment Guild'. At present, Joshua only thinks of two ways to expand.

The first one is to look for suitable actors in Sir Whitebud, and the other is to go to the 'talent market' mentioned by Mrs. Malina.

"No problem, Mr. Qiao Xiu... Also, there is a question about the price of the Hearthstone card pack you set."

Mrs. Marina didn't know whether to make this proposal. At first, the price of the card pack that Joshua set was three gold coins, but in the end it was reduced to one gold coin.

"Is it too expensive?"

Joshua had already guessed what Marina asked.

Even if the price of the card pack is set at one gold coin in the end, many customers still complain that the price is too expensive.

In particular, Cheryl, a poor judge and part-time Internet writer, often posts on the spellcaster forum, "Recently, I am so poor that I have to live on dirt. I beg good-hearted people to donate 328 gold coins and have a full meal. I don't know." What new card packs, and I don't know about Goblins vs Gnomes' posts.

The expensive card packs also lead to the expensive cards. Currently, the most expensive card on consignment in the Hearthstone Tavern is the golden Balrog. The price is as high as 4,000 gold coins, which is enough for spellcasters to buy a high-quality magic spell. stick.

For the dwarves, who made their fortunes by selling raw crystals, one gold coin is indeed a no-brainer for them, but for some poorer civilians or spellcasters, one gold coin is enough for them to live for a week.

Although Qiao Xiu has the task of winning three rounds a day to get a card pack in the system, the majority of players complain that the price of the card pack is too high. become more and more.

"Mr. Joshua, I don't think there is a need to lower the price." Mrs. Marina said.

Although the price reduction can satisfy those poor players, it is the wealthy spellcasters or dwarves who really buy a large number of card packs for consumption... If the price is reduced, it will cause psychological imbalance to those players who have spent a lot of money to buy card packs Influence.

"No price reduction, but a discount." Qiao Xiu said.

"Discount……"

Mrs. Marina watched as Joshua took out a piece of white paper and a pen, and Joshua wrote the words '50% off' on the white paper.

"I think you also know that it is a very common commercial sales method. During some festivals of Nolan, we can sell cards at 90%, 70%, or 50% of the price Bag."

No matter in which world, discounts are always a means to stimulate intelligent creatures to enter the state of buying and buying, and the same is true in this world.

In Nolan, the exchange rate between gold coins and silver coins is stable at ten to one, so after the discount, the card pack can be sold in the form of silver coins.

"These days are just in time to celebrate the release of the new card pack, Madam Marina's discount is up to you to set the price."

Joshua handed the paper with 50% off to Mrs. Marina. This businesswoman knew far better than Joshua how to use this method to earn more money.
