"Everyone is welcome to come and support me."
"I am deeply honored."
"What you are seeing now is the first trade market in the entire national server, and even the world, exclusively for lord players."
"Here you can trade with players from all over the world."
"If you are interested in opening a shop, there are plenty of vacant shops available for rent in this market at very favorable prices."
"The number of shops is limited, so please act quickly if you wish to purchase."
I gave a brief introduction.
The room fell silent.
Everyone was pondering the meaning behind his words.
Some people are weighing the pros and cons.
"What do you mean? Do we have to rent a shop to sell things in your market?"
"Do you own this market all by yourself?"
"We're all lords, why should you be the only one with a market? I'm going to open one too! Everyone can come to my market, and I'll rent out shops to you for free!"
"Forget it, you need a town-level territory first before you can build a trade market!"
"Damn it, how am I supposed to upgrade my territory to town level? I can't even gather all the materials, let alone withstand that insane monster siege!"
"In other words... at this stage, it really is only their market that can provide us with a platform for free trading!"
"Holy crap! If we rented a shop here, we'd make a fortune!!"
"Who the hell was so quick to snatch the store away?!"
"..."
The facts are clear to everyone.
The only market in the entire server, its development prospects are immeasurable.
Let alone being able to rent a shop.
Just occupy a piece of land, set up a stall and sell whatever you want, and you can make a fortune by taking advantage of the huge flow of people!
If I also have a special skill, I can sell things that others don't have.
The profits are unimaginable.
The scene from before was clearly replayed in everyone's minds: the items sold in Su Bai's shops were instantly snatched up by them!
That wave must have earned him at least several dozen gold coins!
Those with sharp minds had already spotted the shops listed for rent even before Su Bai spoke.
A shop rents for 5 gold coins per month.
It's definitely not cheap.
However, compared to the revenue it can generate, it is completely insignificant.
"Shop for sale! I accidentally rented out too many. If you're interested, click on my name to message me privately, and I'll sublet it to you!"
People in the arena started shouting.
The excuse of renting too much is obviously just that—an excuse. These people are just after money to make a profit by acting as subletters.
The price of the 5 pieces of gold ordered by Su Bai is already quite high.
But once they've passed through their hands, the price is estimated to double.
Even several times more.
How high it can rise depends on its market performance.
However, judging from the current situation, it certainly won't be that low.
"Holy crap! You guys are shameless! How could someone rent four shops at once? Bai Di, aren't you going to do anything about this?!"
"Exactly! These subletters are such rip-offs! How can they do business like this!"
"I messaged him privately, and that guy raised the price to 15 gold a month! He's obsessed with money!"
"I see it now, Bai Di is in cahoots with them! Everyone stop renting, let's boycott them and make sure they don't make any money!"
"..."
Su Bai didn't want to get involved. Compared to the bulk of the revenue from consumption tax, the rent from shops, though seemingly substantial, was actually negligible.
However, the current public opinion has already affected his reputation.
"Don't worry, everyone, I will handle this matter seriously!"
"My intention in opening up the shops to everyone is to provide a free and fair trading platform for everyone, and it is absolutely not to make that kind of dirty money!"
"...I have refunded all his purchase slots and set a limit on the number of purchases; each person can only rent one store!"
"The rent for the shop is fixed."
"If anyone finds anyone reselling lease rights at inflated prices, please report it to me!"
The matter was quickly resolved thanks to his prompt handling.
Some people are still dissatisfied because they didn't manage to snag a shop.
But that would just be pure bad luck.
It has nothing to do with Su Bai.
He underestimated the enthusiasm of these lord players.
All 24 shops were snapped up instantly.
In the end, Su Bai had no choice but to rent out the shops he used to sell everyday items.
The money earned from selling those daily necessities.
It's not even worth as much as the rent.
Of course, renting to other players will generate more revenue.
He also underestimated the creativity of this group.
"What?! You want to open a casino here?! ...It's not impossible, but you'll have to pay higher taxes, at least 25%!"
"A brothel?! No way, absolutely not! Don't even think about it!"
"Can your territory produce Spirit Leaves?"
"..."
Players who have rented a shop must first report their business to Su Bai.
He initially thought that other players would sell things like local specialties, materials, and equipment.
It really opened his eyes.
Of the 27 shops that were rented out, five wanted to open casinos, and many others wanted to open brothels and opium dens.
Su Bai could still tolerate the former.
After all, gambling, compared to the latter two, doesn't have such a serious direct impact on the physical level.
Even if you lose everything gambling, it only affects yourself.
But lust and poison are different.
Tolerate both of them.
It is about artificially creating an environment where order is completely chaotic and out of control.
