Chapter 3252: The Resistance of the Rusi Chamber of Commerce

————It will be later~~

Marie nodded, subconsciously taking out her Identity Card, intending to pay with Digital Blue Gold Coins, but then she remembered that this shop did not have a digital payment sign, so she went to put the card away.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper called out to her, "Is the Madam planning to pay with Digital Blue Gold Coins? That's fine, you can transfer it directly to me!"

"Oh?" Madam Marie looked at the other person in confusion.

The shopkeeper hurriedly explained, "My son is in the Territory Guard. He came back last night and helped me activate a Digital Account. It's just that because I have to watch the shop, I haven't had time to go to the Government Hall to apply for a Commercial Payment Card, but I always keep my own Identity Card with me. You can just transfer it to me directly."

"Is that really okay?"

"Of course it's okay. My shop is legitimate and registered at the Government Hall. If you don't believe me, you can go check!"

"I'm not talking about the shop, I'm asking if there will be any issues with transferring money privately like this?"

"What issues could there be? My son said that this Digital Blue Gold Coin is just like a real Blue Gold Coin. The Commercial Payment Card is just for the convenience of having others collect payments when I'm not around; whether I have one or not doesn't affect this transaction."

Moli's enrollment had indeed changed quite a few things. At this moment, Madam Marie no longer treated Moli as a small child who needed her discipline, giving Moli greater freedom, including the freedom to manage her own pocket money.

It's just that the Territory provides subsidies for its own people. If that shop truly needs to acquire goods at a price of ten Blue Gold Coins or more per pair, they can immediately go to the Government Hall to apply for a subsidy after the goods are acquired.

In reality, most people who come to Xia Ling are not purely for shopping, but more for making money. Just like those out-of-town guests from earlier, would a normal customer buy one hundred pairs of shoes at once?

Marie had previously felt that using Digital Blue Gold Coins was just helping her husband complete a task, but after the shopkeeper said that, she truly realized the reality of it.

Therefore, the amount of goods that out-of-towners can actually get at a lower price is not much; at the very least, it cannot compare to the acquisition volume of true large-scale merchants, and true large-scale merchants would not actually buy at the 10-coin list price, but would sign profit-sharing agreements instead.

But for now, she was just an ordinary housewife working two jobs to support her family, currently taking her child on a major shopping trip before school started.

Meanwhile, in Evereska, the Northland Alliance investigators were also rushing around frantically, tracing clues from Ailan all the way to Evereska, and finally locking onto several targets.

Even with snacks, in the past, the only snacks Moli could enjoy were handfuls of candy grabbed from Sugar Grandpa in the community with pocket money she occasionally received, but now it wasn't just candy; there were all sorts of new snacks she had never heard of or seen before, but which looked delicious at first glance.

……

"I understand."

When actually selling later, it would be sold at the price with the subsidy deducted.

Although Moli could not understand her mother's change, she liked this change very much. If possible, she hoped her mother would always be like this.

It's just that for Blue Gold Coins in units of "Yuan," there are only four types: "1 Yuan," "2 Yuan," "5 Yuan," and "10 Yuan." If one happens to need to pay 3 Yuan, then one can only receive change.

Next would be interviews or direct arrests.

As long as one buys a few more pairs of shoes, the ticket price can be earned back.

Not to mention that traveling by boat takes too long, the cheapest ticket price for an Airship from Seventon to Xiaotang Mountain is 50 Gold Coins (Ming Shui), which, converted into Xia Ling's Blue Gold Coins, is about 45 Yuan.

If Digital Blue Gold Coins support payments in "Jiao" units in the future, it would be even more convenient; ordinary people wouldn't even need to carry any coins when going out!

Otherwise, it would be blatant subsidy fraud. Once discovered, in addition to the confiscation of illegal gains, there would be additional fines and detention.

In the end, Madam Marie bought two pairs of shoes for her daughter at the price of 10 Blue Gold Coins.

Digital Blue Gold Coins are real Blue Gold Coins; transferring one Yuan is equivalent to handing the other person a one-Yuan Blue Gold Coin face-to-face.

"Of course you can. From now on, I will give you pocket money every month. You can buy whatever you like, just remember not to be wasteful."

……

First, take various products from Xia Ling to travel as a merchant to different places, and after saving up a sum of money, acquire shops, or even source factories, to build one's own commercial empire.

If it exceeds one hundred pairs, one would need to go to the Rubber Shoe Factory to purchase them at a price of at least 10 Yuan per pair; at the very least, shops wouldn't dare to sell more than one hundred pairs of shoes at once.

Madam Marie had worked at the Rubber Shoe Factory for a long time and had seen a lot. If it weren't for a daughter she couldn't let go of, she would actually prefer to go out and venture on her own.

And if one chooses to pay with Digital Blue Gold Coins, then one can transfer 3 Yuan directly, without the extra step of making change.

Her idol was President Zhenna of the Ming Shui Chamber of Commerce, but it was a pity that she couldn't leave home for too long before Moli grew up. Her husband had joined the Territory Guard, and she was the only adult left at home; she couldn't exactly make her husband retire and come back to look after the child!

But if one were to purchase outside of Xiaotang Mountain, then at the very least, the price of 10 Blue Gold Coins is not something everyone can accept; it would be better to take a boat or an Airship to Xia Ling to buy them.

With the start of school in Xia Ling, whether it was the Enlightenment Primary School in the Territory or the three-year Quasi-Mage Training within the Tower of Time, everyone was kept busy.

Moli felt that she was truly too happy today. When leaving East Street, she couldn't help but ask her mother: "Can I still eat these snacks in the future?"

The few out-of-towners Marie had just seen buying shoes in the shop, although the final negotiated price was not the 10-Yuan list price, it was still much higher than what the locals paid.

And it was one hundred pairs per person, with all kinds of styles and sizes—if this wasn't for resale, what could it be for? And the most critical point is that the quantity of one hundred pairs happens to hit the bottom line for bulk purchases.

Of course, those out-of-towners could choose to go to other shops to buy, but there are only four or five rubber shoe shops in all of Xia Ling, one of which is a display shop for the Rubber Shoe Factory and is not open to ordinary customers.

Besides clothes, shoes, and socks, Madam Marie also bought her daughter some small accessories. This had never happened in the past—it wasn't that she couldn't afford it, but in the eyes of most ordinary people, there was simply no need for children from ordinary families to wear ornaments.

If out-of-towners want to buy cheap rubber shoes, they can only come to Xia Ling in person, which counts as taking advantage of the subsidy. If it is a bulk purchase, they can only choose the factory price of 10 Yuan or more from the Rubber Shoe Factory.

Of course, that is the price she actually paid. If calculated according to the list price, the price of every pair of rubber shoes would be over ten Yuan, and the factory price is also at that standard.

The thought of doing business flashed through Madam Marie's mind; although brief, it left a profound impact. Perhaps she might really become a famous merchant in the Northland in the future.
