Zhao Ye called all his employees together and prepared to hold a small meeting of Link Company.
Before the meeting, Zhao Ye first fully affirmed You Zhou's achievement in winning the first Beginner's Competition with his own ability and creating the brand image of Duelist Champion. At the same time, he also expressed his affirmation of Vivian and Lin's hard work.
Of course--
Apart from this, Zhaoye is not a person who likes to talk nonsense.
"This is 200,000 eyes. It's your bonus."
Zhao Ye first pushed the two envelopes in front of Vivian and Lin. They looked at each other in shock.
"Thank...thank you..." Lin held the envelope excitedly.
On the other side, Vivian was slightly shocked and couldn't help asking, "Manager, isn't 200,000 eyes too much? Does our store really make that much money?"
"Why not?" Zhao Ye asked back, "Vivian, you help out in the store every day. Even when Lin is on duty, you secretly watch from the side. You should know something about it, right?"
It is true that there are only a few dozen people participating in the beginner competition, but that does not mean that there are only a few dozen people buying cards.
In addition to these contestants, there were many people who were not very good at the game and who just bought some cards and watched the game with great interest.
This new project attracted a lot of people, and the number of guests at Zhaoye has already exceeded a hundred.
This is also why Zhaoye agreed with the suggestion of the closer of the Light Bulb Workshop, to give them the power to sell cards.
On the one hand, his card shop is not big enough. If there are more customers, there may be congestion. In that case, the customers will feel uncomfortable and it will be difficult for the shop to develop normally.
Under such circumstances, Zhaoye naturally has to expand the locations where the cards are sold.
After Zhao Ye's investigation and research during the past few days, he was convinced that the light bulb workshop was a very good location.
First of all, the distance is not far from Zhao Ye’s store, but it is still close to one kilometer, which can cover more user groups. Secondly, the workshop’s manpower can also be produced in large quantities, more copy cards, and mass-produced duel disks.
And Zhaoye didn't even need to spend any money during this process. It just provided some "opportunities" to the Light Bulb Agency, some opportunities that allowed them to study Zhaoye's technology, but opportunities that would never lead to success.
Apart from anything else, although the effects may be similar to some things in this world, Zhaoye's "technology" is completely different from the technology in this world. The difference between them requires researchers to thoroughly understand the "duel". Unless they are an extraordinary genius, it is almost impossible to understand Inka.
Of course, Zhaoye also believed that there must be such people in this world - but it didn't matter.
Because in this case, at least this person will most likely understand the word "duel".
This is also a good thing for the night.
“Also, Vivian, you underestimate those [rich people] too much.
Whether it was October or Wicks and the others, except for a few duelists like Youzhou who didn't have much money, most of the favorites to win the championship had drawn countless card boxes before the game to gather the components they needed.
Not everyone can pick up a card like You Zhou and get a Mirror-Shattered Chaos Warrior!
Do you know how much money Wicks spent to complete a set of Silent Swordsman and Mysterious Swordsman?
Also, October even has a rare card called [Dragon Breaker] in her deck, which is as rare as Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Black Magician!"
Vivian's mouth dropped open.
The cards were quite difficult to get. Even in Zhaoye's hand, there was only one original of the extremely rare cards, such as Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Dark Magician. Even he himself hadn't drawn the copies.
Wicks once boasted that he wanted to replace all his decks with "the kind that glows!" But after making such lofty statements for a while, he chose to give up.
It’s not that he realized that “a card is a card whether it glitters or not”, but that he discovered that he really had no money!
Zhaoye shook his head gently.
Give urban people a little bit of Indian shock.
In the world he lives in, the K company makes money by printing cards, which is comparable to printing money directly. It is obvious that one can make money by lying down, as if the money comes from the wind.
Although Vivian also watched them draw card packs, she was also very interested in the cards herself. When others were drawing cards, she would focus more on the cards in the packs rather than how much money they were worth...
Now that Zhao Ye mentioned this, she became alert—
These little gadgets that cost 300 per box seem to be really making huge profits! ?
This is just a small shop!!!
"Vivian, you can take your bonus with peace of mind and don't feel afraid." Zhao Ye said to her softly.
Although the current revenue is in an "explosive" state, this money will obviously not be a problem after the long-term sale of cards is started.
Vivian nodded hurriedly and took the envelope solemnly.
"Well... speaking of this." Zhao Ye thought for a moment and then added, "Accounting is quite troublesome, Vivian, I'll leave it to you from now on - including the accounts with the Light Bulb Workshop, you will be responsible for calculating them from now on.
I don’t have to calculate anything other than the poker office.”
"Ah!? Manager, this——"
Vivian was immediately shocked. When she heard this, it was like she was hearing a horror story.
Should the store’s accounts be calculated by one employee?
Isn't the store manager afraid of——
"Vivian, I trust you very much, and you have always performed very well." Zhao Ye added.
Vivian was suddenly startled.
Her eyes seemed to be ablaze with fighting spirit, and even without a duel, her emotions were rising: "Yes! Manager, I will definitely complete the task you assign to me!"
Zhaoye smiled and nodded, but he was muttering in his heart.
Is this "twist" that Wicks is talking about so easy to float?
Although it was not as strong as before, the sudden fluctuation made Zhaoye a little puzzled.
Is there no complete solution?
He shook his head.
Never mind, that's not the point right now.
Zhao Ye took out a map and spread it on the ground: "This is a map of the area around District 10."
The three employees leaned over and looked at the map.
Although it is called a "back alley", District 10 is not just a small alley. In this area, there are urban areas, wilderness, residential areas, and of course, all kinds of strange places.
Zhaoye's map is roughly the same as the map near Hanno store.
Among them, Zhaoye marked the Hanno board game store with a white square, and outside of that, there were larger squares filled in.
“With Hanno Board Game Shop as the center, there are roughly three major forces in this huge commercial district nearby.
One is the Dice Gang, which uses dice as its symbol and manages groceries, pawnshops, and small casinos.
One is the [Strange Burger Company], which operates the largest breeding farm in District 10 and specializes in selling various portable jerky.
Finally, there is the Fate Casino, which is located further north than us and is the only one with a Wish Power Gambling Machine. "
He used red, yellow and blue to fill these areas respectively.
The three people nodded.
Some of this information was heard by Zhao Ye when he eavesdropped on the guests' conversations, and some was obtained directly from October and Wicks.
“And the goal of our company in the next stage is very simple——
That is to turn all these colors into white!"
If Zhao Ye wants to develop his own technology and completely create a link network in this world, he must have the support of a huge company.
Therefore, a small board game store is definitely not enough!
After hearing this, the three employees all leaned back.
what?
The three of them looked at each other, some wondering if they had just heard it wrong.
Grabbing territory?
How could they do such a thing?
If you ask them to play a game of cards, the three employees present now have full confidence. Even Lin, after watching so many duels, has a conscious understanding of them, and her understanding of duels is not inferior to that of any duelist.
But you have to let them do it...
This is too difficult for them.
Even though Lin now has some confidence and feels that she can fight against gang thugs, she does not have the confidence to challenge a gang that is at the urban legend level.
"I know everyone thinks this goal is too unrealistic, and there is indeed a slight gap between us and them." Zhao Ye gestured slightly, as if the gap was only as big as the space between his fingers.
There is a slight difference...
Lin couldn't help but lower her head and gently cover her mouth with one hand.
For the first time, she discovered that Zhaoye was actually quite humorous and not as crazy as he looked.
"So, we must force these people to agree and recognize that this means giving up their own behavior and welcoming us and fighting with us!
In other words, it forces them to compete with us in areas where we excel! "
The three nodded.
Compared to fighting, they felt that dueling was indeed much easier. Even if it was one against ten, the three of them were confident.
And, more importantly, there is no need to fight and no need to worry about casualties. This is definitely a good thing for them and their opponents.
"But, Boss, how can we get them to welcome me?
"
"Good question."
Zhao Ye stood up, walked to the front desk, pulled down a black blackboard, and pasted three cards with strange colors but no monster pictures on it. They looked blank, but seemed to have text on them.
The three people's attention was drawn over at the same time.
Soon, acting as duelists, they noticed a difference that shocked them.
The word on the attribute is——
【god】!?
Chapter 45 The Power of God
Zhao Ye stroked his chin with one hand and looked at the three "cards" pasted on the wall with a smile.
"Manager, does the card have other properties?!"
"God's attributes..."
"What's the difference between a God-attribute card and other cards!?"
The three of them spoke at once.
"Quiet, calm down." Zhao Ye waved his hand. The three of them eased their surprise, sat down and looked at the blackboard.
"First of all, I want to tell you that, just as you imagined, these are three [God Cards]. Similarly, they also possess [God's Authority] just as you imagined."
The three people looked at each other.
"Manager, do you mean that they can materialize like the Winged Chestnut Balls?" Lin asked, raising her hand.
"Wrong." Zhao Ye shook his head, "These three cards don't have so-called [virtual images]. They are real entities."
hiss--
With just this one sentence, the three of them understood the deeper meaning of Zhao Ye's words.
This is a card that can be materialized without any activation or auxiliary means!
"Manager, you can even create something of this level."
Zhaoye extended his index finger and shook his hand: "This understanding is also wrong.
I've told you guys a few times before, right? I don't [create] cards, I just [make] them. There's a huge gap between the two."
None of the three were professional scientific researchers, so they did not understand what Zhao Ye meant.
"Then, store manager, do you want to create these three cards and then use them to threaten the people around you!?" Vivian tried to ask the key question.
"How is that possible?" Zhao Ye shook his head. "If you want to threaten someone, how can you really fight them?"
The three of them looked at each other.
"These three cards are only provided for you to see. In fact, I can't create the real [God Card]."
