Chapter 64

"Then what do you want?"

Qin Luo asked.

He naturally knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch, and Ye Junwei wasn't that kind-hearted; he must have some ulterior motive.

After all, Lords were all very busy; who would go to such trouble to do things for others!

"First point, if your exchange is successful, I will charge a handling fee of 1,000 Energy points!"

"Second, I hope that in the future, when I buy metal resources from you, the price can be a little lower!"

Ye Junwei said. "No problem, right?"

"That's no problem at all!"

"However, you also do this kind of business?"

Qin Luo guessed that Ye Junwei was a broker, that is, an intermediary role!

This was also a way to make money!

By integrating and matching resources, he could collect some handling fees.

Or by buying and selling, he could earn the price difference.

"I used to be in business, and now I'm trying to find some channels to make money!"

"After all, as a Lord, there's no need to go out and kill; there's plenty of time!"

"I'm just doing small things, and whether I can even get this handling fee is a question!"

"Compared to that Ouyang Guan who earns from information gaps, I'm far behind!"

Ye Junwei said.

"Yes, I just read Ouyang Guan's post; even though there are pirated versions, the number of paid users has already exceeded 150,000!"

"That's 150,000 Energy points!"

Qin Luo sighed.

He couldn't even earn 150,000 Energy points in a day!

And 150,000 Energy points were enough for him to recruit 60,000 Skeleton Soldiers!

"He has a smart brain, and he was the first to eat the crab, the pioneer of earning Energy points through information flow; we can't compare, we can't compare!"

Ye Junwei sighed lightly. "By the way, what are your requirements for the treasures to be exchanged? For example, if it's an exchange for territory equipment, do you have any requirements for the attributes of the territory equipment?"

"It's best if it's territory equipment!"

"As for the attributes, either it has no racial restrictions or is applicable to all races, or it is exclusive to the Undead race!"

Qin Luo said.

The Sigh of the Rat Race was territory equipment exclusive to the Rat race; other races could not enjoy its attribute bonuses!

As for paying Ye Junwei 1,000 Energy points as a handling fee after exchanging for satisfactory territory equipment, that was a small problem.

After all, the bonus brought by a piece of territory equipment was worth far more than 1,000 Energy points!

"Fine, then I'll go get busy; look forward to my good news!"

After Ye Junwei finished speaking, he closed the chat interface with Qin Luo and then clicked on his friends to send messages one by one.

"This Ye Junwei is quite interesting."

Qin Luo touched his chin.

Both of their development paths required a large number of connections as a foundation.

However, Qin Luo didn't want to be a broker earning price differences or handling fees.

"Continue adding friends!"

Qin Luo came to the friend application interface and filtered to add some Transcendental Lords.

Afterward, Qin Luo went to the trading market and sent friend applications to some Lords.

These Lords were all those who had sold metal resources!

Although Qin Luo's fame was not as great as Ouyang Guan's, he was quite well-known in the trading market.

One reason was that Qin Luo had been continuously acquiring various monster corpses.

The second was that Qin Luo was one of the first merchants to sell a large amount of food, which also received a lot of attention.

The third was the Red Iron and Bronze ore, as well as various equipment, currently being sold at high prices.

He was already one of the big merchants in the trading market.

In the eyes of many, Qin Luo was not only a merchant who sold large quantities but also a powerful 'Transcendental' Lord!

Seeing Qin Luo add them as friends, the vast majority of Lords would accept and exchange a few polite words with Qin Luo!

And the reason Qin Luo did this was actually very simple.

That was to monopolize the market for rare metal resources!

Once successful, the Energy points earned would be a terrifying number!

Of course, the difficulty was also very high; after all, uniting a large number of metal mine merchants was not a simple matter.

So what Qin Luo needed to do now was, first, continue to increase his fame, and second, continuously unite merchants to establish a Resource Trade Alliance and then set a unified price!

Under normal circumstances, the price of resources depends on the supply and demand relationship in the market.

And with a united Resource Trade Alliance, they would be able to control the supply, thereby controlling the market price!

The success rate of this matter was quite high; after all, once the Resource Trade Alliance was established, it would benefit not only Qin Luo but all merchants selling metal resources!

In this way, everyone could make money together!

Judging from the current price of Red Iron ore, the market price was generally around five Energy points per unit.

In private transactions, Qin Luo could at most sell it for seven Energy points per unit. Any higher, and he couldn't sell it at all; Lords would rather keep watching the trading market to snatch up some low-priced Red Iron than spend a high price at Qin Luo's place.

Moreover, the quantity sold was small, and the speed was slow.

It took most of the day to sell only a few thousand units of Red Iron.

If, after the Red Iron Mine was fully developed, tens of thousands of units were mined a day, then he wouldn't even be able to sell them.

According to the supply of Red Iron ore on the market, if it developed normally, it would definitely be the same as the previous food, experiencing a continuous decline, and even if a large amount of Red Iron ore appeared, the price might even plummet!

Especially since some Lords were not very sensitive to prices and didn't know how to maximize profits at all; they just wanted to sell the metal resources and set a price lower than the market price.

This was simply destroying the market!

What was being damaged was the interests of all metal mine merchants!

Of course, adding friends one by one was too slow. Qin Luo published relevant information on his personal merchant homepage, asking merchants with metal resources to add him as a friend!

When the number of merchant friends reached two hundred, Qin Luo set up a group chat and pulled everyone in.

【Hello everyone, I am Qin Luo, I won't make too many introductions!】

【I pulled everyone together today because I have a win-win idea to share with you all.】

Qin Luo simply stated his proposal to establish a Resource Trade Alliance and unify resource prices.

【As everyone knows, metal resources are one of the essential resources for territory development!】

【Especially Red Iron, which is in a stage of shortage, which is why the price is so high!】

【Currently, the market price is maintained at around five Energy points per unit!】

【But a big factor determining the price is the supply and demand relationship!】

【Although it is still in a stage of supply not meeting demand, the market supply is increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. According to my deduction, I am afraid it won't be long before Red Iron experiences a wave of decline. The best case is that the price steadily slides from five Energy points per unit down to four, then to three and two. If the situation is not good, it is very likely that a cliff-like drop will occur!】

【Therefore, I thought of establishing a trade alliance to unify resource prices, thereby stabilizing transaction prices. In this way, everyone's interests can be guaranteed, and it won't be like those merchants selling food. By the way, those Lords who paid attention to me on the first day should know that I started selling food from the first day, but the later price fell too miserably; it was really unbearable to look at, and I couldn't make any money at all. I would rather let the food rot in the warehouse than bother to take it out to sell.】

【What I want to do is prevent metal resources from plummeting like food. Everyone can say what they think!】
