Chapter 3010: Final Preparations Before Operation

————Still about an hour left~~

Xia Duo glanced at the calculation process on the draft paper; he didn't understand it for a moment, but he could fully understand what the other party was saying: that is to say, maintaining the current scale of the Computing Power Pool could reach an annual profit level in the tens of millions.

The larger the scale, the more the profit!

Although there was a certain gap from the scenario he had just imagined, a profit of ten million was still not a small number, equivalent to earning back a Chang'an City in a year or two.

However, although the numbers looked good, one could not be too optimistic. Not to mention that this was only a current forecast, even if it were true, this portion of profit would still have to be divided among various countries first, then material and labor costs would be deducted, and only then would it be the net profit.

It was uncertain how much would actually end up in his hands!

Therefore, it is necessary to increase the scale of the Computing Power Pool, that is, the number of connected users, or in other words, the number of users; this is the root of everything.

Secondly, it is to find ways to make users use more expensive advanced functions!

Xia Duo divided the usage functions of the Public Computing Power Pool into two forms: one is the basic function that everyone can use for free through official subsidies.

The fee is tentatively set at 500 Gold Coins per hour!

It is not that everyone who gets a Connector only has basic functions at the beginning, but they need to go to specific places to pay for and purchase the usage duration of advanced functions.

After some cumbersome calculations and verification, Xia Duo confirmed that the feasibility of the plan was quite high, and one could even say that the prediction of the results was still too conservative; in other words, as long as this plan was used, one could actually earn even more.

At present, it supports at most 200 users using this function simultaneously. In order to ensure the user experience of every Supreme Mode user, only 200 slots are temporarily opened (Supreme Mode users with deposits in their accounts are limited to within 200).

"What good news?" A merchant group representative asked impatiently upon hearing the words "good news."

One is the advanced function, and the advanced function is also divided into three levels, which are—

Except for the usage duration of Supreme Mode which has a usage period—after all, Supreme Mode resources are limited—the usage duration of other modes is not time-limited; if bought this year, using it a hundred years later is also no problem.

……

But unfortunately, even if he proposed using the virtual balance of Great Xia Territory now, it would be impossible to be accepted by the countries of the Alliance, let alone other countries; I am afraid that even Netheril would be unlikely to agree.

"Good afternoon, everyone, please sit."

Although Xia Duo had previously promised the Connector business of various countries to the Diya Merchant Group (and other chambers of commerce that have connections with various countries), the operation strategy regarding the Computing Power Pool has now changed, and no formal agreement had been signed before.

Xia Duo did not take it to heart, just smiled slightly, and said calmly: "The Public Computing Power Pool on the Alliance side has been assembled and is about to be put into formal operation, so before this, I think it is time to sign a formal cooperation agreement with all of you from the Diya Merchant Group."

Supreme Mode, in terms of computing power and Psionic enhancement, has reached the limit that the current Computing Power Pool scale and architecture can achieve, and it requires connecting to the Computing Power Pool Main Network to be used.

That price is already free for most High Mages to use; doing so is also to attract those low-quality users to connect to the Computing Power Pool.

He believed that the people in the finance team could not play tricks on him in such a big matter, but if he believed the other party without any verification, wouldn't that make him seem too naive?

"Inviting everyone here this time is actually to inform you of some good news in advance!"

This experience is not only in the actual use of functions, but also in some other incidental feelings; the quota can actually be understood as—a Mage who bought this function is in the Northland top 200!

Actually, regarding the charging method, what Xia Duo likes most is "online payment," buying whenever one wants, and even being able to deduct fees after finishing use.

In the office, Xia Duo was still repeatedly flipping through the complete plan and all reference materials given to him by the finance team, and from time to time took a pen to write and draw on the paper to calculate various parameters.

Professional Mode, provides stronger computing power than Enhanced Mode, and at the same time adds Psionic enhancement; the pricing is 200 Gold Coins per hour.

"Good afternoon, Consultant Xia Duo."

Alliance Headquarters, Psionic Network Research Center.

……

"So fast?!"

But Xia Duo insisted on a quota. On one hand, there might not be as many Mages willing to spend 500 Gold Coins per hour for a long time as he imagined, and more might just be experiencing it; on the other hand, since this mode is named Supreme Mode, it must have a supreme experience.

Moreover, Great Xia Territory has just changed to a new currency, and the virtual balance has not been actually put into use; taking an untested product for others to use is not his style.

This Supreme Mode can be said to be specifically prepared for high-level Mages; wealthy and powerful senior Mages can also experience it; the 200 quota is only for the current Computing Power Pool scale and architecture.

Enhanced Mode, provides stronger computing power support than basic functions; the pricing from the finance team is 100 Gold Coins per hour, and all subsequent forecasts are based on this price; if it is a more expensive function, then of course the revenue will be higher.

Arriving at the conference room, Charles did not leave either; the administrative assistant also has the duty of recording meeting minutes. He and Xia Duo entered the conference room together; at this time, four or five Elves had already arrived in the conference room.

Of course, it can also be said that this is a disguised form of hunger marketing; saying so is not wrong. Xia Duo has more or less this intention; doing so is effective on Earth, and human nature is interconnected, so it is highly likely to be applicable in the Magic world as well.

"Sir, the representatives of the Diya Merchant Group have already arrived in the conference room."

Bringing this matter up again now is also as it should be.

Next, Xia Duo asked about some fee-related issues, such as what form of payment to adopt; the finance team's suggestion is to adopt a prepaid model.

Under the condition that the architecture does not change, the scale is actually constantly expanding; that is to say, today's limit is 200 slots, and tomorrow it will be more than 200.

Oh, the leader is a human, then that is understandable!

It will give people a subtle sense of vanity.

Several merchant group representatives, including Yilai, were a bit incredulous; it has been less than a month, and the Computing Power Pool has been assembled; when could Elves have this efficiency?

Xia Duo's gaze lingered on the Xinnong Chamber of Commerce Councilor Yilai for a moment; previously, Nether Mining was able to obtain the full support of the Diya Merchant Group to seize the first batch of development slots in the Grey Peak Mountains, and Yilai had contributed a lot of effort.

……

Charles is an Elf assistant recruited by Xia Duo locally in Evereska; he passed multiple tests and is very trusted by Xia Duo. At this time, hearing the report from Charles, Xia Duo immediately put away the materials on the table and followed the other party out the door.

Before long, the door outside the office was knocked; Xia Duo looked at the time, it was immediately 3:00 PM, which was the meeting time he had agreed upon with the Diya Merchant Group, and then he controlled the office door to open automatically; assistant Charles walked in:

Of course, as the scale of the Computing Power Pool continues to expand, and with future improvements in architecture, perhaps a Mythic Mode stronger than Supreme Mode can be launched to tap into user potential as much as possible.
