Chapter 82 Profiteering
Xie Mingzhe did not have the experience of being a detective, but he calmed down when encountering things and soon thought of a way to find out this person.
The store’s purchase records are very detailed. At what time a certain card was sold to whom, all of them can be found clearly. He asked Chi Qing to call out the records from the background, and then made a statistical table in Guang’s mind, extracted keywords, and removed the familiar faces of major guilds and the casual players who only bought one or two cards. Soon, he discovered something was wrong.
There is a player named "Playboy" who squats in the store every day and always grabs cards at the moment when it opens at 11:30. He actually doesn't care about the repeat cards, and bought **Daiyu at noon on Wednesday, and two more **Daiyu at noon on Thursday and Friday - normal players cannot spend money to buy repeat cards unless they are used to resell.
In addition to him, there is also a player named "Boss Lin", who also squats every day and buys more than a dozen instant cards.
Players who play in the arena in the game have their own decks, and they also have their own decks. Usually, buying three or four dead cards to supplement the card pool is enough. Those who collect the full set of dead cards are either those big guilds and Ren Tuhao who have the collection control, and then they are those who aim at the interests of the dead cards and resell them.
Xie Mingzhe searched the names of "Playboy" and "Boss Lin" in the guild member list, and found that they had indeed joined the Nirvana Guild, and their points were almost enough to exchange for welfare cards. Moreover, judging from Chi Qing's guild dungeon grouping, these two people happened to be in the same dungeon team - how could it be such a coincidence?
The only explanation is that the two profiteers targeted the profits of Fat Uncle’s original cards, and waited in the card store, bought a batch of original dead cards, and joined the Nirvana Guild, hoping to exchange Zhou Yu and Sun Ce for sale. If you guessed correctly, these two people might have queued up a large number of dead cards to auction. If nothing unexpected happens, a batch of dead cards will appear in the auction store tomorrow, the day after tomorrow.
It’s so beautiful that you two profitable merchants can earn 100,000 without any effort!
Of course he couldn't bear to use his cards to make high profits.
After thinking about it carefully, Xie Mingzhe simply issued an announcement in the store: "From tomorrow, all the cards in the card store are sold in large quantities, and the reservation mode is opened. Customers who have not bought a certain card in the booking area can deliver a deposit of 1,000 in the booking area. The store management will email you the card you want within 36 hours."
At the same time, he asked Chi Yingying to post on the forum, and took the opportunity to post advertisements that the store was about to sell a large number of instant cards and to open a reservation model. Chi Yingying also said as Xie Mingzhe's instructions: "No surprise, there will be instant cards for sale in the auction in the past few days. Some unscrupulous merchants are reselling. Don't be fooled, come to our store to buy them!"
A post on the forum that scolded the fat uncle, an ad post posted by Chi Yingying, and two popular posts that had been flipping through dozens of pages pushed the Nirvana Guild to the forefront. Many passers-by were watching, and even members in the guild were looking forward to what the management would do about this matter.
The next day at 11:30 noon, the moon and half card store opened on time.
Countless people who wanted to buy cards and onlookers flocked to the store, but as soon as they entered the door, they were stunned by a large number of original cards-
In addition to the ten dead cards that had been available before, Xie Mingzhe placed the "Dongwu Fire Attack One Wave" competitive team and the "Shu Kingdom Cavalry Regiment" competitive teams all placed on the card display area on the first floor, and a simple and interesting card encyclopedia was written below each card.
The great god Pangu placed it in the middle of the display area, with a three-meter-high magic card, holding a giant axe, and was imposing.
The reason why Xie Mingzhe publicly displayed the cards he made was, first, to fulfill his wish to open a "card exhibition hall"; second, his cards have been hung on the competitive forum for discussion anyway, so it is better to let more people discuss them directly; third, he is telling everyone in this way: I have endless inspiration, and I can't count the number of characters, so I don't need to rely on the means of a profiteer to make that little money.
The display area on the first floor is extremely lively. Players who like to read stories are attracted by the card encyclopedia and are enjoying it. Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei surrounded countless people, took photos and discussed the deep brotherly love of the Taoyuan franchise. Sun Shangxiang of the Eastern Wu attracted a large number of beautiful characters such as Lu Xun, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Zhao Yun, and even became the male gods mentioned by many players.
Players who love to watch stories linger on the first floor, while players who want to buy cards collectively rushed to the second floor.
Unlike the few cards in the past, today's second floor is simply dazzling - all the display cabinets are almost filled with instant cards, and there are seven or eight hundred cards at a glance!
Since the system stipulates that each player can produce no more than one hundred cards per day, Xie Mingzhe cannot make so many cards in one day, so he borrowed the card production limit of the studio friends and transferred the copying rights of several cards to Chi Qing, Yingying, Xiaopang, Jin Yue and others, and even his master Chen Qianlin used a small account to help copy 100 cards.
Each person will copy 100 pictures, and today the store will release 800 cards at one time!
So many instant cards are released in batches, which makes people who want to buy a card but can't grab it. Moreover, the store has opened a reservation area, and there is an NPC responsible for booking. As long as you pay a deposit of 1,000 and write your ID and the desired instant cards, within 36 hours, the store management will send the corresponding cards in the form of "paid mail".
Chi Yingying is responsible for this matter. No one has reserved yet, because there are too many cards released today and it is still too late to sell.
The practice of card store has gradually changed the direction of the forum. People who called Fat Uncle a profiteer turned against each other.
"I think it's not the one who sells cards at the auction. He can make so many original cards, so he won't destroy his reputation, right?"
"Uncle Fat is a talented person. The 14 new arena cards released in the display area are all very good. If he really wants to make money, he will make a few cards and sell them, more than 100,000 yuan."
Players of Nirvana Guild took the opportunity to clarify: "There must be some profiteers who are buying and selling back. You misunderstood Uncle Fat. Uncle Fat Man is very good. Nirvana's welfare card requires half the points less than the Grand Guild!"
At three o'clock in the afternoon, several death cards appeared at the auction!
Because the system mandates that cards entering the queue sequence cannot be withdrawn, it is too late for the two profiteers to regret even if they notice that the signs are not right.
All the instant dead cards in the auction house failed to be sold, and no one bids, and the atmosphere is very awkward.
The two present were restless and always had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, as soon as the auction ended, both of them received a reminder - Uncle Fat, vice president of Nirvana Guild, has kicked you out of the guild and added you to the blacklist.
Immediately afterwards, a post that Chi Yingying had edited long ago appeared on the forum: "Two playboys and Boss Lin, bought the dead card from the Yueban card store and sold it at a high price to redeem it at an auction to earn the difference. The two also sneaked into the Nirvana Guild and wanted to redeem points for member welfare cards to be auctioned. Nirvana has added the two to the blacklist."
The post lists clear evidence below, including the record of two people re-purchasing dead cards in a specialty store, as well as the time when these cards appear at auction, and the time when normal cards enter the queue sequence - all the evidence is fully matched.
This powerful evidence is like a bombshell. All the people who were still watching before turned to Uncle Fat. Those who scolded him came out to apologize. The trumpet of the black Nirvana that set the rhythm was completely quiet as a chicken. The members of Nirvana were deeply shocked by Uncle Fat's decisive handling of things!
Within one day, the plot completely reversed, and the suspicion was cleared, and two profiteers were kicked away.
The members who had a good impression of Uncle Fat are now completely convinced - although our Vice President Pang Pang usually smiles and looks kind and kind, if he becomes serious, his methods will definitely be ruthless, and the two profiteers who were kicked will probably be confused.
The points I finally saved were sold, and I wanted to exchange them for Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to sell them, but now it was useless!
There was too much noise in Nirvana. After the other Fenghua and Judgment were found out, they also brought these two people to the blacklist.
The forum followed by a large number of players, accusing Boss Lin and the bad businessman who reselled cards in the black market. Many of them had been deceived by them. The two men suddenly became rats crossing the street that everyone called for, and the guilds related to them were also exposed - it was a third-level guild, and they couldn't stand Nirvana, so they took the opportunity to step on the fat uncle on the forum. This guild was all blacklisted by the fat uncle, and the so-called "auction rich victim" was faked by one of their members - it was simply a group of drama artists.
Xie Mingzhe saw a wonderful drama and couldn't help but sigh that there are really a world of martial arts where there are people.
Tang Muzhou also watched the whole process and after watching it, he sent a like to his junior brother: "The movement is fast enough and the handling is good."
Xie Mingzhe was praised and was in a happy mood, and his voice smiled: "Actually, I have a responsibility for this matter. I don't have enough experience in opening a store for the first time and ignored the problem of limited-edition cards being easily resold. Now, there is a reservation area, so I don't have to worry about someone reselling my cards to make money."
Tang Muzhou said: "Nirvana has made a strong sense of existence this time. Our Hongzhun girl is saying that your crisis was handled beautifully in public relations and the truth will be clarified within one day."
Xie Mingzhe smiled and said, "I found out from the purchase record. Before, for the level of the Odder Card Master, I didn't care about the guild. It's time to worry about it. After all, Nirvana is my future base camp, so there can't be any chaos inside."
Tang Muzhou founded the Fenghua Guild in one fell swoop, so he was very experienced in this area. He suggested: "With the moment Nirvana Guild is very popular in the forum, you can add more fire to participate in some guild activities and make you famous."
Xie Mingzhe nodded: "I plan so too. We will register for the Nirvana Club for next week's guild activities. I also want to customize a few useful cards for the guild activities and send them to members in batches, so that everyone can have more guild honor and belonging."
Tang Muzhou smiled: "Then I'll wait for the name of your guild to be announced in the world."
Seeing that the younger brother was heading for a path similar to that of himself back then, Tang Muzhou felt relieved.
The clever junior brother took only one day to deal with the negative storm in the guild. Those who stepped on Nirvana inadvertently made a good publicity for Nirvana. With this momentum, Nirvana guild will soon be able to align with the largest club guild in the game. With this strong backing, Xie Mingzhe and Chen Xiao entered the professional league and had no worries.
The author has something to say:
Pipizhe is still very capable of leadership. Uncle Fat will attract a large number of loyal fans because of this incident. He will issue a new card in the next chapter and swipe the guild's presence.
Chapter completed!
