Chapter 497 Sweeping 4 Countries
It is worth mentioning that after the Summoner System devoured four Sky Tree seeds one after another, it can be regarded as completely stabilized, and it no longer disappears from time to time like before. As more and more pocket watches were released, Zhou Bo was a bit too busy alone, so he decided to squeeze the remaining value of the summoner system, and finally found that this guy really has unlimited potential, he is simply a super server, acting as a paging station for In fact, it is simply overqualified, and there is no burden at all.
So far, Zhou Bo no longer has to worry about his rest being disturbed. At the same time, he has the information collection function of the summoner system and can also summarize all the information, which is equivalent to adding the most high-end intelligence network.
"Price reduction! The price must be reduced!" Previously, in order to take the high-end route, Zhou Bo set a very high price. Each pocket watch with paging function was priced at 10,000 taels of gold. One tael of gold, and even a limited time period for the communication. Now with the help of the summoner system, there is no need to be so harsh. The price can be lowered and more funds can be absorbed.
If Hu Tianbiao listened to these words, he would definitely feel very puzzled, but Zhou Bo, who has experience in his previous life, clearly knows that whether it is a BP machine or a mobile phone, the biggest profit is not the phone itself, but the call fee. In the previous life, the mobile phone But it has entered thousands of households, and almost everyone has one, and the monthly phone and data charges are astronomical.
Sure enough, when Ye Xin communicated the price reduction idea to Hu Tianbiao through the pocket watch, he couldn't sit still immediately, and ran over in person, asking what happened, and wanted to reduce the price of the pocket watch.
"Actually, it's not a price reduction, it's just a different way of charging, which is equivalent to paying in installments." Ye Xin was actually a little confused, she didn't understand business matters, and she was just passing on her son's words.
"installment?"
"That's right, it originally required 10,000 taels of gold. Buyers can pay 1,000 taels of gold or less first, and then pay the balance when they use it, or simply rent out these pocket watches. They only need to pay the rent and phone bills." !"
"So that's how it is!" Hearing this, Hu Tianbiao finally understood, but he still resisted. He always felt that the money he got was reduced like this, and he was a little unwilling: "What if someone deliberately sabotages it?"
"Then you need a guarantor. You must be able to find a way to do this!" Ye Xin said with a smile.
"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll arrange it, but how much is the installment payment and rent suitable?"
"The installment payment can be divided into twelve installments. The first payment is 1000 taels of gold, and then the monthly payment is 850 taels of gold. to continue. As for the rent,
Let's set it at 100 taels of gold every month, but there must be more than three guarantors. "
"In this way, it is true that many people can rent communication pocket watches, and even use this to start a communication business. It is indeed very convenient!" Hu Tianbiao nodded in praise, and at the same time he was also a little worried: "I bought a communication pocket watch before that. What if people want to return it? It’s not fair to them to rent it so cheap!”
"This involves another issue. I plan to start a banking business by the way. Everyone can pay more money when paying the phone bill, or even put the remaining money here, and then rely on the balance of the phone bill in the communication pocket watch. Consumption or cash withdrawal is equivalent to the function of a bank note, but a password is added. Even if outsiders get the communication pocket watch, they don't know how much balance there is on it, and there is no password to withdraw cash or pay for the goods. And Users who have purchased a communication pocket watch can directly obtain a level 3 membership. After depositing additional funds into the communication pocket watch, not only do they not need to pay storage fees, but they can get a period of interest based on the amount deposited. The more you get, the higher the interest you will get. Although the interest cannot be withdrawn, it will be automatically recharged into the phone bill, and you can also help others recharge the phone bill. Basically, if the deposit amount reaches 100,000 taels of gold, you can send out a lot of money every day. Then, users who pay by installments can obtain the second-level membership after paying the down payment, and do not need to pay storage fees after depositing money. Finally, users who rent pocket watches can obtain the first-level membership, You can also save money, but you have to pay a certain storage fee and a handling fee for withdrawing from another place.”
"Hiss!" Hearing this, Hu Tianbiao couldn't help but gasp, he could feel the huge business opportunities contained in it.
...
If the installment payment is not attractive to those small rich families, then this leasing business is really a great boon, completely losing the middle class who thought that the magical communication pocket watch was out of reach. Losing their resistance, they flocked to the Tianfu firm run by Hu Tianbiao, picked their favorite styles, and rented them out.
As for the guarantor, who doesn’t have a few relatives and friends? It’s really not good. Mortgage of real estate and land deeds is also possible. Although Tianfu Commercial Banks all over the four countries are mainly engaged in the business of communication pocket watches, they have not let go of other businesses. No matter what the other party takes as collateral , can be easily eaten.
Moreover, the mortgage here is only a means to prevent the communication pocket watch from being intentionally damaged, and it is not for the purpose of profit. It is fundamentally different from the pawnshop, so it does not make people feel conflicted.
It is under such circumstances that the communication pocket watch business has swept across four countries including Sky Blue Kingdom, Xingyue Kingdom, Sea Heart Kingdom, and Eternal Night Empire almost faster than Zhou Bo's previous BP machine in the 1980s and 1990s. They are all proud of owning a communication pocket watch. Anyway, renting it for a month is only 100 taels of gold. Many small rich families can afford it, let alone some people will use the communication pocket watch to give gifts and build relationships.
Only on the second day after these two new businesses appeared, the major Tianfu trading houses in the four countries rented out thousands of communication pocket watches.
At the same time, due to the introduction of the membership system, those wealthy families often spend a large sum of money once and for all to obtain the qualification for exempting phone charges in disguise. The 100,000 taels of gold that I received was not spent directly, but kept there all the time, and can be accessed at any time, and can even be withdrawn from other places without handling fees. It can be said to be very safe, so why not do it?
