Plane Merchant 201 The Core of Life
"Of course our Zhuge Crossbow can be sold!" Peter Pan opened his mouth wide and said with a little confusion: "But isn't this our most powerful weapon? Are you not afraid of being copied after sale?" Never sell the most advanced goods or weapons in your hands to others, this is universal no matter where it is.
With no concern, Lin Jia would not care about these weapons that use wood and branches as ammunition. In his original world, there were countless more terrifying weapons. If it weren't for the lack of raw materials and energy, not to mention the firearms on the Earth's plane, even the energy weapons represented by the silicon-based civilization represented by XP could be built, and the current base has been gradually built to take on the manufacturing task.
"It doesn't matter. If they want to imitate this thing, they can imitate it. Unless they can make a crossbow arrow, it will not have much effect even if it is imitated!" Lin Jia laughed twice.
Although the various types of combat crossbows made by P are exquisite, they are not impossible to imitate. They are nothing more than differences in accuracy. However, if the combat crossbow can exert the power of Lin Jia's hands, the crossbow body and crossbow arrow must achieve a very high accuracy. A polished crossbow arrow that does not meet the requirements will definitely destroy a combat crossbow.
So Lin Jia was not too worried about this issue. It was not impossible for you to imitate it. Maybe there was some force to use some means to make the imitation products exactly the same as the combat crossbow in his hand, but the crossbow arrows used by the combat crossbow cannot fully meet the usage requirements.
It’s not that others can’t make it that meets the requirements, but how much effort does it take for you to do a crossbow that needs to be carefully polished? With the shooting rate of various combat crossbows in Lin Jia’s hands, how many crossbows are needed for a war? Even if you can do it, the cost is too high and the quantity cannot meet the needs of combat crossbows.
Therefore, Lin Jia did not intend to sell the various combat crossbows at hand too expensive. In this main material plane, the price of a military heavy continuous crossbow is around 40,000 gold coins. He planned to set the most basic standard type of charge combat crossbow to 1,000 gold coins, the sniper combat crossbow to 2,000 gold coins, and the three ballistic rioter crossbow to 5,000 gold coins.
In terms of the cost-effectiveness of weapons, this price is almost no different from free gifts, but don't forget that these high-energy-consuming weapons require a lot of ammunition to support them. As for crossbow arrows, the continuous crossbow arrows in this world are 1 gold coin and 5 pieces/magnets. Lin Jia decided to set the charge crossbow ground crossbow arrows to 1/5 silver coins, and 50 pieces of a magazine are 2 gold coins. Buy a charge crossbow and get two magazines. If you want more, you have to spend money to buy them.
Imagine if a wealthy man bought a luxurious ten-ballistic rioter crossbow, then just one launch would be 5 gold coins, and with the rate of fire of the crossbow...
The profit is huge! The more Lin Jia thought about it, the more he drooled, and decided on the spot that the merchants of the plane began to sell the weapons and equipment of the lava collar, and could customize special models of combat crossbows. However, a customization fee must be paid. In addition, if the materials are provided, special materials can be made of crossbows. After all, the current crossbows of the lava collar are all hard wooden crossbows made of soaked asphalt and then dried, so their lethality cannot be compared with metal crossbows.
"Oh big boss! You are such an unprecedented profiteer!" Peter Pan sincerely praised after hearing Lin Jiadi's plan: "I can conclude that if this news is released, the plane merchants of the entire Ether Plane Chamber of Commerce will be crazy. Do you think it is necessary to open up a market as a trading place for the plane merchants coming?"
There are countless chaotic places like the Star Continent among all planes. There are even more countries in the war zone. And the number of high-level warriors and spellcasters is a minority. In the end, war still depends on the army mainly composed of ordinary warriors. Therefore, it can be foreseeable that once such terrifying destructive weapons are put into the plane market, then how huge their demand will be.
"Yeah! This matter is left to you. Let's open a market on the plains of the lava lord. Let's make it on the spot and sell it on the spot." Lin Jia nodded.
Peter Pan excitedly reached in front of him: "Then can you issue more plane passes? You should know that there are probably large plane merchants in the plane chamber of commerce who are interested in arms trading. They are here to transport goods in person. They can save a lot of our energy!" He pointed to the "plane pass" on his neck that can connect to the main material plane. Lin Jia was stunned for a moment. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "It's no problem. But how do you plan to deal with these passes? Give them for free?"
Peter Pan said inexplicably: "What else? Without a pass, merchants in other realms cannot enter the main material plane to trade. They rely solely on our own transportation. The price is too high. Our dimensional bags can't hold much! It's still more cost-effective to transport merchants in our own high-dimensional bags or high-level large-scale planes in the Dimensional Cave.
"Why are you so stupid? You should know that since our local arms are popular, there will inevitably be a large number of local people rushing to get cheaper arms in the place of origin. Then spend money to buy a pass. Of course, it doesn't necessarily require gold coins. It's okay to exchange materials or plane coordinates for land..."
Peter Pan's eyes lit up. The reason why it has never been able to improve its level is that it has too few coordinates of the position. If Lin Jia said, it can completely use this to exchange plane coordinates with other plane merchants to improve its level of the land.
Peter Pan stuttered excitedly and said, "I'll deal with this matter now! I'll be able to cover the entire lava collar with gold coins!" After that, he stumbled out, but as soon as he turned around, he suddenly touched the table and almost overturned the things on the table. The small bag Lin Jia put on the table for "carbon-based bioenergy nuclear crystals" rolled down, and the eight bioenergy nuclear crystals inside fell.
Peter Pan, who almost fell to the ground, suddenly froze, his eyes straightened at the eight core crystals. After a while, his neck turned stiffly, and his face showed a twisted and ferocious expression that he didn't know if it was a smile or a crying look: "Boss, where did you get these level 1 life cores?"
"The core of life? This is not the core of life, this is my biological energy core crystal!" Lin Jia was stunned. These are the level 1 carbon-based biological energy core crystals condensed in his body. Why did they become the core of life that plane merchants must continue their lives?
"No, no! This is the core of life! I can feel the energy of life inside!" Peter Pan grabbed the nuclear crystal on the ground and waved excitedly.
"The carbon-based bioenergy nuclear crystal is the core of life?" Lin Jia also moved his mind. It is correct to think about it. The carbon-based bioenergy nuclear crystal is a crystal condensed by energy extracted from the living body. It is correct to say that it is the "core of life". According to this, even if the carbon-based bioenergy nuclear crystal is not the core of life required by the plane merchant, it must be something of the same nature as the core of life.
"It's a pity that there is no level 2 life core..." Peter Pan flipped over and over and muttered with regret.
"Can you use these level 1 core crystals to change to level 2 core crystals?" Lin Jia asked. Because of his embarrassment, he snatched a level 2 life core that he regarded as his life from Peter Pan. If he could change to one, he would return it to it so that he would not always complain that he was an exploiting capitalist.
"Yes! Three level 1 can be exchanged for one level 2. The extra ones are enough to squander it as the funds to buy a large number of materials!" Hearing that Lin Jia wanted to replace it with a level 2 life core, Peter Pan nodded happily. It was not uncommon to use the life core as currency among plane merchants.
After all, this thing is the ultimate goal of making money between planes, which is much more valuable than any currency. Although it is only level 1, there are quite a lot of materials that can be purchased. You should know that Peter Pan had worked hard for thousands of years to save money to buy a level 1 life core. I believe that a large number of small plane merchants would squeeze their heads and exchange their property for these level 1 life cores in Lin Jia's hands.
Why can the large plane merchants of the Ether Plane Chamber of Commerce control and exploit small plane merchants with lower levels than their own? The reason is that they have a large number of low-level life cores traded from higher-level astral plane merchants. With these things, it is equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of small plane merchants, and they do not worry about not being obedient, consciously begging them to accept their own property.
"Having the core of life means you have the entire plane!" This slang term between plane merchants describes the amazing value of the core of life and a private plane.
However, the life core that can be switched to a private plane will definitely not be such a low-level life core. This is not tempting for Lin Jia, who already has the main material plane. He can't even handle his own plane now, so he has no intention of considering other small planes.
Lin Jia, who didn't expect that the "Life Core" in his hand would be so valuable, immediately flicked his mind, calculating what he needed frantically, and looked at Lin Jia, who kept muttering: "Steel, gold, food...", and Peter Pan carefully suggested: "Boss, since you plan to sell these Life Cores, why hold a bidding meeting?"
Lin Jia was stunned for a moment and realized that yes! Holding an auction-like bidding meeting, throwing these life cores to those who need small plane merchants, can get the higher price, and letting them be responsible for supplying the materials they need. This is a good way to do it once and for all.
