Chapter 2839: Sales Exceed Ten Thousand, Revenue Exceeds Ten Million
Niya's words also made Xia Duo think of some sayings from his hometown, which claim that when old people become idle, they quickly grow weak; in reality, it is because their bodies have reached a limit, and they are relying entirely on their mental strength to hold on, and that mental strength is the things they want to do.
Although the situation with Niya's father is not yet that severe, if it is not taken seriously, it is inevitable that some unfavorable things might happen.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo proposed an idea, "How about letting Aipusi go to Saville's side? It just so happens that Saville is short on people, and for your father, doing research alongside his own grandfather would also be a brand-new beginning."
Of course, to avoid Niya feeling that he was being too perfunctory, he added, "If he feels uncomfortable after arriving at the Plane Exploration Center, I also support him in establishing his own Independent Research Lab, and he will also have a share in the Level 3 Laboratory."
"Let him follow his great-grandfather first!" Niya agreed with Xia Duo's proposal, but also said, "Let's skip these few days, so he doesn't feel like we find him annoying and want to drive him away; I will bring this up with him after some time."
"Mm, you handle the specific timing."
……
The night passed without incident.
Early the next morning, after finishing breakfast, Xia Duo returned to the Study, organizing his thoughts on the research of the Order Force and planning the next research projects, while waiting for his secretaries to deliver the daily briefing.
However, today was a bit different from usual; along with the four secretaries, Saixili also arrived with a face full of excitement. Seeing this scene, Xia Duo had some guesses about Saixili's intentions, and he felt a surge of joy in his heart.
Hearing that number, even though Xia Shao had already made some estimates about the sales volume, he had not expected it to actually exceed ten thousand units. This number might be unremarkable in his hometown, but one must know that Netheril is currently still in the classical era.
Thinking of this, Xia Shao looked at that weekly revenue of over ten million again, and in reality, it was just so-so; in the future, it might not even be enough for a week of promotional expenses!
It is not yet time to burn money!
But now, those ten thousand-plus users have likely reached a certain limit, and from here on, it will rely on time to increase bit by bit. However, Xia Shao is not in a hurry; in fact, he even hopes that this growth speed is a little slower!
Even if the appearance is much better than the Second-generation Communication Magic Artifact, how many people are willing to spend an extra 800 Gold Coins for the appearance!
The Void Warehouse itself is a high-end service of a special nature; lowering the price slightly to open up the market is justifiable. If even the Communication Magic Artifact has to engage in a price war, that would indeed be a bit inferior.
It is best to wait until Niya breaks through the current 420,000-node limit of the Communication Mythallar and completes the Mythallar update before launching another wave of rapid development; that would not be too late.
"I also have something to report!"
The Third-generation Communication Magic Artifact's cost is actually about the same as the second generation, both around 800 Gold Coins, but the pricing given to the Ming Shui Chamber of Commerce is 2,000 Gold Coins (consignment settlement price), an increase of 800 Gold Coins directly over the second generation!
And just as he put down the briefing in his hand, Saville, who had not said much since entering the Study, could no longer hold back:
Now, for the first week—let's count it as the first week, since the Mythallar updated with new functions—over ten thousand Third-generation Communication Magic Artifacts were sold, which is equivalent to over thirty percent of the Mages in Netheril having bought one!
"It's about the sales situation of the Third-generation Communication Magic Artifact, right? Just looking at the expression on your face, I know the recent sales have been very good. Tell me, how many were sold exactly?"
Besides that, there are also some groups outside the Mage population that cannot be ignored, such as Merchants, Adventurers, or officials and their families in various territories outside the Great Xia Territory, and so on.
"According to the data obtained from the Ming Shui Chamber of Commerce this morning, the number of Third-generation Communication Magic Artifacts sold in various places has currently exceeded ten thousand units; more specifically, it is 【Number】 units!"
But selling over ten thousand units all at once is indeed a bit exaggerated, completely exceeding Xia Shao's expectations.
According to this current sales volume, in just this short period of less than a week, the Tower of Time can earn over ten million Gold Coins from the Third-generation Communication Magic Artifact!
Although the price of the Communication Magic Artifact is not expensive to the point of reaching the heavens, it is not something everyone can afford to consume. Considering the actual practical threshold, he originally thought that having five thousand units would be incredible.
Therefore, Xia Shao hopes to pass through this dormant period as steadily as possible, waiting for the Communication Mythallar node limit to break through one million before doing anything else. At that time, even if it means throwing money, he will throw the Third-generation Communication Magic Artifact into every country in the Northland.
The price of 2,000 Gold Coins is not high enough to reach the heavens; many ordinary people can still come up with such a sum of money if they grit their teeth.
The five secretaries are each responsible for information collection and organization in different fields, including the internal situation of the Tower of Time, the Tower of Time's external dispatch situation, various affairs of the Great Xia Territory, and the basic situation of the Spellcaster Territory and visiting Merchants.
If ten thousand-plus units could be sold every week from now on, then Xia Shao could wake up laughing in his sleep, but he also knows that this is impossible; selling that many again in the coming year would already be very, very good!
What a profiteering business this is!
Although Xia Shao often says that the Elf countries are declining, in reality, those countries still have a very deep foundation; it is not strange at all for an old tree to sprout new buds.
Especially after the establishment of the Northland Alliance, with frequent exchanges between countries, countries like Cormanthyr and Yierlan truly have the momentum of sprouting new buds.
According to his estimation, the total population of Netheril is close to twenty million; if the Mage proportion is calculated at one percent, the total number of Mages is only 200,000!
Of course, in reality, it is possible that some Mage Tower organizations purchased them in batches to distribute to their members or for cracking and research.
After reading the briefing, and combining it with previous briefings, Xia Shao has a clear understanding of the development trajectory of the Territory and the major and minor affairs of the Tower of Time.
Of course, these are not the main reasons (including the currently low node limit); the fundamental reason why Xia Shao does not go to the Elf side to sell the Third-generation Communication Magic Artifact is actually the fear that the Elves will notice the platform's huge potential and then immediately follow suit.
Comparing it this way, it is another very exaggerated number!
The Mage group is mostly pragmatic; before there are major improvements in actual functions, almost no one is willing to be a sucker, so it is not hard to understand why the Third-generation Communication Magic Artifact was sluggish before.
A platform is at its weakest when it is first born; once it captures a large number of users, even if competing products appear later, it will be very difficult for them to pose a threat.
And this ten million in one week is not sustainable, which also makes him pay more attention to the accumulation that follows.
Therefore, it is estimated that for a considerable period of time, the growth point of Communication Mythallar users will explode locally in the Great Xia Territory, unless the Elf market is opened up, but there is no need for now. There are too many communication magic artifacts on the Elf side, the market is nearly saturated, and a price war is not what Xia Shao wants; often, after fighting a price war, the brand's grade is dragged down.
