Chapter 2595: The Purpose of Monopoly

However, it is already nearly the end of the month, and news from the Seven Towers should arrive soon; Xia Duo does not want to worry too much about this for now.

"By the way, how is the production of the new Communication Magic Tools going recently?"

"It has already entered the right track. We will notify the Ming Shui Chamber of Commerce to start sales after the Cultural and Arts Festival, but they are not optimistic about the sales volume of the new Communication Magic Tools after testing them."

"Oh? Why?" Xia Duo asked curiously, "What did the Ming Shui Chamber of Commerce say?"

"They said that the new Communication Magic Tools do not have a significant functional gap compared to the previous ones, and even the improvements in appearance are very limited, yet the price is still a bit more expensive."

Speaking of this, Niya could not help but reveal a worried expression, but Xia Duo had already anticipated this point. He continued to ask Niya, "Then did the Ming Shui Chamber of Commerce use this as an excuse to demand an increase in the profit-sharing ratio or to extend the payment collection time?"

"Yes, they did say that."

"Then you might have been fooled by them. While the new Communication Magic Tools may not have much improvement compared to the previous ones, one selling point is enough: it has enough room for upgrades by connecting to the Mythallar, which is difficult for the old version of Communication Magic Tools to achieve."

The essence of the new Communication Magic Tool is nothing more than a Mythic Lock Connector. Except for the appearance, the implementation of all functions is carried out on the Mythallar. Although there is only a communication function now, adding new functions in the future will just be a matter of updating the Mythallar.

Of course, for users who have already purchased the new Communication Magic Tool, if they want to use the new functions, they will still need to pay an upgrade fee that is negligible to us.

After finishing the conversation with Niya, Xia Duo went to see Jieyin again. Seeing that the season had not yet entered autumn and winter was far off, and now that the Territory had newly received over 700,000 residents from the Tianshui Three Planes, many people had not yet been properly settled.

……

But since the residents' down jackets were borrowed, besides paying rent, they must also give the residents some other compensation, such as the opportunity to purchase Magic Heaters.

Mythallar users can purchase Void Warehouse services, thereby obtaining more personal storage space than traditional Dimensional Bags, and can also perform safer and more convenient remote material transportation.

Xia Duo once again explained his plan for the Communication Mythallar to Niya. This time, Niya was still as serious as before, listening very carefully and appearing to agree, but in the Spirit Thought Network, she still revealed traces of doubt.

Of course, the Tower of Time no longer promotes the traditional master-apprentice system of the past. This teacher-student relationship is more like Xia Duo giving Jieyin a convenience permission for his actions; in reality, Jieyin can receive complete Magic Education at the Tower of Time. Xia Duo just stopped by to see how Jieyin was doing and to encourage him; after all, he had only taught this student for a very short time, and most of the time he was left to his own devices. He was somewhat unqualified as a teacher.

Although Niya had heard him talk about the mysteries of this several times before, Niya's thinking still could not break away from the traditional model of manufacturing and selling Magic Artifacts.

Xia Duo had previously asked Laiton to tell Jieyin to conduct research in this area. Two days ago, Jieyin wrote back saying that the mass production design had been completed, and it could be put into production immediately as soon as the Magic Technician Department of the Tower of Time had spare capacity.

But just lighting a fire for warmth is not enough. The Tianshui Three Planes have a pleasant climate, which also means that most of the new residents have never experienced cold, and it is even less possible for them to prepare anything in advance; everything needs to be prepared by the Territory.

All services are exactly as described, and what users experience is what is described. There is no deception, no exaggerated publicity, and they will actively listen to user suggestions to improve service quality.

For example, warm down jackets, which are winter-specific clothing filled with feathers from poultry like chickens and ducks. But even though the Territory tried its best to collect poultry feathers over the past year, it is difficult to provide them to all new residents.

Even if they are settled, the living environment cannot compare to the previous residents. With the cold winter approaching, the new residents must be helped to survive this winter.

After all, in Xia Duo's description, the prospect of binding everyone to the Communication Mythallar was too exaggerated. People who have not personally experienced that era find it hard to imagine that such a scene could truly exist.

It is to bind everyone to the Communication Mythallar; of course, a more elegant way of saying it is—the Communication Mythallar has won the unanimous love of everyone.

In short, there is one principle: only by constantly purchasing new services from our Tower of Time can one have the opportunity to obtain some small benefits that are affordable and cost-effective.

Not to mention that it was not considered earlier that the people from the Tianshui Three Planes had no cold-weather preparation at all, and making them on the spot was too late. Laiton's approach was to borrow from residents who already had down jackets while having the workshops under the Territory's logistics department step up production.

And now, the Tower of Time's Communication Mythallar not only possesses software-level functions but will also possess actual physical material intervention capabilities, such as adding Void Warehouse components.

It was not until it formed a monopolistic giant with tentacles spreading in all directions that people realized a small communication software could have such potential.

Xia Duo's long-term goal is to allow every Mythallar user to obtain everything they need for daily life from the Mythallar, including both spiritual and material levels.

Even in Xia Duo's hometown, only a few people could recognize the development potential of this new thing in the early stages of the Internet, and the same was true when communication software first emerged.

It was not until Xia Duo appeared that a down jacket industry was created in the Territory, turning the large amount of poultry feathers generated after expanding the scale of poultry farming into waste-to-wealth.

Regarding heating, the Great Xia Territory, which is still in a state of development, is not short of wood; one could even say there is an excess of wood. Even before the new residents arrived, Laiton had already started specifically storing fuel for the winter.

In the future, if there are more users and more Mythallar functions, Xia Duo is even willing to give new users a Mythic Lock Connector as a benefit when they sign up for the service.

Of course, the existing users and new users here are not just targeting the Communication Mythallar. If the Tower of Time develops new products in the future, the existing users of the Communication Mythallar can also be converted into new users of the new products and have the opportunity to obtain new benefits.

"You just tell the people from the Ming Shui Chamber of Commerce that the Communication Mythallar will undergo an upgrade next year, and all users who purchase the new Communication Magic Tool can get a free upgrade service."

People in the Main Plane who can live until now have more or less some means of resisting the cold. Standardized down jackets were first created in the Nan Jing. Some poor people in the Inner Land mostly just stuffed dry leaves, thatch, or wheat straw into their clothes, or directly wrapped themselves in animal fur; it is hard to have a unified standard.

This is also why Xia Duo was willing to give such benefits at the beginning of the promotion of the Communication Mythallar. In the future, all benefits will mostly be related to new users; existing users will just be meat in the pot—it is enough to maintain them well, there is no need to give too much.

Of course, as someone who has tasted the bitter fruit of monopoly, Xia Duo is very clear about people's dislike of monopoly. Although he is doing a monopoly business now, he will not wantonly harvest the users like leeks.

Because Xia Duo does these things not just to make money; he hopes to let more people feel his order, accept his order, and integrate into his order through such a way.
