Chapter 599
Xiaobaicai's ambitions are not so big, some developers and players instantly calculated the other party's ideas.
Once this model is started, it will indeed be a win-win model for a period of time. Having the top exclusive material supply will naturally make our products more competitive, and it will be easier for our products to lead the market. Once we lead the market, because the materials are exclusively supplied. , the probability of being imitated will be greatly reduced.
But the disadvantage is that their dependence will become stronger and stronger. Once they taste the sweetness of leading the market, I am afraid that they will never be able to break away from the supply of raw materials from the other party.
For example, Ye Xulun’s forces want to produce a Hex mechanical bow. If they occupy the market with Xiaobaicai’s materials and their own technology, they will indeed get a lot of benefits in the early stage, but once the opponent’s materials are upgraded, you have to spend money. Go buy the exclusive supply right, otherwise the market is likely to be replaced by others, even if it is not replaced, for example, the bow of their power has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it has become a brand like BMW and Mercedes-Benz, but if they fail to buy the best materials , using sub-materials to recharge, will also dissatisfy buyers who are used to the quality of their bows and crossbows, and thus give other competitors a chance to take the lead!
That is to say, as long as this little cabbage faction continues to lead in material technology, the merchants they cooperate with will always be tied to the same boat!
"This model is a bit unfair to us, isn't it?" One of the developer players frowned and said, "Your materials have always been free from sellers, but once we cut off the supply of materials, it will be greatly affected!"
Alice smiled and said: "The basis of cooperation is trust. If it is a win-win situation, why should we cut off your materials? Once the reputation of this business is ruined, the market will become smaller and smaller, right?"
"That's what you say." The Kraken professional player Bingguan frowned: "But once you upgrade the materials, we have to re-bid. It's too passive, and if there is a malicious competition from a competitor, it's just to block our material supply what to do?"
This kind of situation will also happen. For example, someone is jealous of Xu Xian's boxing glove market, and then takes advantage of the emergence of new materials to maliciously raise the price, and the price is exorbitantly high. What should the disgusting opponent do?
"Don't worry, everyone," Alice said with a smile: "Since this system has been established, we will naturally try to fill in the gaps, such as the problem you just mentioned. First of all, when we release new products, we will give priority to our current partners according to the classification. With an exclusive agreement, we will not easily bid externally. Of course, the premise is that you can always maintain market competitiveness. If the purchase volume drops significantly due to poor management, we will consider re-bidding.”
Everyone nodded at first when they heard the words, but after reacting, they found that in this cooperation mode, the other party seemed to have complete control of the initiative, and there was no disadvantage anyway, and their faces collapsed immediately.
Alice continued to smile and said: "Everyone, this is the cooperation model we have set up. I believe everyone thinks this is more in line with your interests than public sales, right? If you still have concerns, you can go back and think about it. We welcome you at any time." Come everyone!"
Everyone rolled their eyes when they heard the words, and thought to themselves: If you have a level five player, you must be confident.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Alice clapped her hands and said, "It seems that everyone has no objections. Then after you finish your meal, you can go to our micro-base to bid for materials. The auction is in the lobby, and the virtual screen will list our existing materials. All kinds of raw material products, there are detailed descriptions of the properties, functions and suggestions of each material, and of course the price of the initial auction, you can slowly choose according to your needs after eating.”
After a pause, he smiled again: "Friendly reminder, please bid according to your own situation when choosing materials, and don't maliciously embezzle all kinds of materials that have little effect on your power. We will have a supply agreement. Once found Anyone who bids maliciously will be permanently blocked, please be careful."
Everyone: "" –
After eating, many players walked into the base slowly with their round bellies, and soon saw the huge virtual screen in the lobby!
There are nearly a thousand kinds of materials listed on it, which dazzles a group of people.
Ye Xulun didn't talk too much, and hurried to the metal area first, and began to scan the properties of various materials. Their current priority is to enter the magic power weapon market, and the priority is magic power guns and crossbows!
After locking these materials, see if you can buy some high-end food ingredients to make more advanced snack products.
Flipping through the materials in the metal area, Ye Xulun quickly scanned. The firearms and crossbows of the magic kinetic energy civilization require very precise metals, which have high requirements on their weight, strength, and conductivity. High, but also requires the weight to be as light as possible, so that the finished product is easy to carry, and the materials need to be carefully considered.
The developers and players at the side were also helping me with a quick analysis. After a few minutes, the other party pointed to several materials and said: "These are good."
Ye Xulun looked over and his eyelids twitched. The properties of these materials are indeed good, but the price is too much for his little heart, especially the fiber composite material used to make bowstrings, which is as high as 0.6 points per gram. What the hell? They actually sell it on grams like the General Base did? Why don't they grab it?
Alice seemed to have noticed Ye Xulun's expression, and explained with a smile: "My lord, fiber materials are very scarce materials nowadays, mainly because the machine tools for making materials are purchased from the general base, and the cost is relatively high. It seems high, but we don’t make much money ourselves, we can only keep our capital.”
hehe
Ye Xulun rolled his eyes, he wouldn't believe even a punctuation mark in such words, his aunt downstairs who sells hardware said every day that she was trading with guaranteed capital, but when the new project opened, she bought several sets of houses
Just as he was speechless, he suddenly saw a player next to him bid forty or fifty kinds of metal materials as if his hands were convulsive. He was stunned and said to Alice in a daze, "Is she bidding maliciously?"
Alice glanced at that person, who was the former Kraken player, then shook her head and said, "She wants to build a ship, and she needs a lot of metals, so it's not a malicious bid."
"Shipbuilding?" Ye Xulun was stunned, and said in a daze, "I'm going to go, have players started to make this kind of big thing now? By the way, is this thing bought by anyone?"
"Well." Alice looked at the player thoughtfully and smiled, "It's not necessarily made for sale."
"Eh?" Ye Xulun was taken aback, and said with a smile, "Why don't you sell it? Are you going to drift in the sea?"
Alice shook her head and smiled without answering. Although she could see what the other party wanted to do, she couldn't point it out. After all, if this guy succeeds, he will be a rare big client in the future, and his potential is much higher than that of Ye.
But I have to say that this player named Icecrown is a bit bold.
