Chapter 601 Market Convention, Setting Up Guards
Lu Xingchen decided to check out the food street.
The food street was crowded with people, and there were many more stalls, with people queuing up in front of each one.
Most of them are NPCs.
Lu Xingchen glanced around, ate the shrimp dumplings made by Qi Fangxin and Bai Kaixin, drank a glass of juice, and then left in a hurry.
Tomorrow is the last day.
The market will open the day after tomorrow, and she doesn't know how many people will come. She has to make thorough preparations.
Suddenly, a notification sounded: [System Task - Open the Market: Successfully complete the first market (Note that the task is only considered complete when the market transaction volume, stall vacancy rate, satisfaction rate, tax revenue, and rental income reach specific standards. Please make all necessary preparations!)]
Task Rewards: 2 Large Fully Automatic Garbage Shredders, 4 High-Pressure Automatic Water Guns.
Has the system issued a task?
Lu Xingchen was overjoyed.
The rewards are very generous.
What she urgently needs now is a large fully automatic garbage crusher and a high-pressure automatic water gun.
Because of the food street, there will inevitably be a lot of garbage left after the market. Having a garbage disposal machine would prevent the ocean from being polluted.
High-pressure water guns can be used to wash streets, making them more practical.
Lu Xingchen was very satisfied. The system had been very quiet recently and hadn't issued any tasks at all. Now it had finally issued another task. Wasn't this a way to deliver supplies?
Opening the market was her goal!
The task prompts are essentially telling her the direction to work towards, aren't they?
She looked carefully and finally went to find Master Lei Jin.
Master Lei Jin hasn't rested yet; he's been working tirelessly, designing his villa at the First Peak of Misty Rain.
Lu Xingchen explained his purpose.
She mainly wanted to ask about tax issues. Originally, she planned to attract merchants with low taxes, but if the market had requirements on this, she had to be careful.
Master Lei Jin pondered for a moment: "As far as I know, the market tax rate is around 10%-30%. If it's higher, that's fine too, but if someone finds out, you might get fined. I don't recommend a tax rate below 10%, otherwise it will be considered malicious competition."
The taxes are quite high!
Lu Xingchen nodded slightly.
She glanced at the items that needed attention; there was no need to worry about the vacancy rate of the stalls, as there were no idle stalls in her market.
The transaction volume is not a big problem, just pay attention to it in real time.
It's hard to judge satisfaction, isn't it? Is it really necessary to have merchants or players vote for it?
Master Lei Jin frowned: "This is a newly added item recently. There was no requirement for satisfaction before. I think you should pay attention to this. If someone wants to cause trouble, they might make a fuss about this."
Lu Xingchen was also worried about this.
She said goodbye to Master Lei Jin, and it was already very late.
Most of the NPCs were eating and drinking to their hearts' content, but Qin Wuchuan, Wei Lin, Hei San and Hong San were exhausted and went to rest early.
Lu Xingchen thought about it and decided to talk about it tomorrow.
She returned to the raft, washed up, and went to sleep. Before she knew it, it was the next day. Today was also the last day before the market in the misty village opened.
Lu Xingchen entered the Peach Blossom Paradise first: [Peach Blossom Paradise's aura of fortune—nothing special!]
Lu Xingchen was stunned for a moment. Ever since her last stroke of good luck, she hadn't had any good fortune for a long time.
However, it’s okay to be ordinary, it’s not bad luck.
She continued her thinking from yesterday: how to increase the satisfaction of merchants and buyers?
First, she had a good environment.
Secondly, she also managed to offer a wide variety of products.
Third, it's convenient and fast; she has sightseeing buses at low prices, which is also a plus.
fourth……
Fourthly, prices should be fair, business should be run with integrity, and there should be fewer unscrupulous businessmen who are good at cheating... like the ones in Frost and Snow Village.
But how can she control those NPC shops?
