Chapter 201: Chapter 124: This Trip Wasn’t in VainSeeing the indescribable look in Majeri’s eyes, Zhou Bai also quickly understood and smiled in his heart. It wasn’t that she couldn’t afford it, she simply didn’t want to buy. "I am here on behalf of my territory this time, so I must buy what the territory needs," Zhou Bai explained directly. Majeri came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "It’s okay, being in business, one can’t always expect to make a sale." "If you visit our territory later, you could bring some goods with you. At that time, it won’t just be me, but also the residents of our territory who will patronize your business," Zhou Bai continued, her tone also encouraging. What Hope Village needed most right now was local popularity! With more merchant teams visiting Hope Village, it could become more active and integrate and understand more rapidly. Listening to Zhou Bai’s words, Majeri paused and then took a deep look at Zhou Bai. Putting everything together, he could see through Zhou Bai’s thoughts. Although Zhou Bai hadn’t bought anything from his store, the transaction they had just completed was evidence enough that Hope Village must have some sort of foundation. A solid foundation meant a market. Previously, he had planned to decide whether or not to go to Hope Village only after this batch of goods had been released into the market, but now, perhaps it was time to start preparing. "What’s the tax rate for merchant teams?" Majeri asked. "Our territory’s tax rate is ten percent," Zhou Bai replied, understanding that he was interested. Ten percent was not high. Majeri mentally made up his mind and confirmed with Zhou Bai, "I will certainly bring a rich variety of goods." He had a feeling that this trip would definitely be profitable. It was just a question of how much he would earn. The market in Bengala Town was already saturated—it really was time to develop a new market. Seeing that Zhou Bai’s identity was not simple, with her as a middleman, it would probably be easier for him to enter the market of Hope Village. Sometimes in business, timing was everything. "Then I shall look forward to your visit?" Zhou Bai said happily. She hadn’t expected it to go so smoothly. "Yes!" Majeri nodded without hesitation. "May I ask, what do the residents of your territory need the most?" "Goods related to Professionals. Most of our territory’s Professionals are just above level 10. You can decide what’s best for us," Zhou Bai replied without hesitation. Every Resident of Hope Village was a hard-core gamer! When it came to related equipment, they certainly wouldn’t hesitate to spend money. And for what basic professionals needed, her understanding was definitely not as good as a businessman like Majeri. She would just wait for him to deliver the goods. "Hmm," Majeri nodded, his mind already forming a plan. The two of them established a partnership through back-and-forth discussions, which made even Ellis, who was standing by, take several more glances at Zhou Bai. He suddenly understood why Zhou Bai had become the Chief of Hope Village. Her vision and tactics were truly impressive! Unknowingly, Ellis and his company were also being won over. After leaving Majeri’s shop, Zhou Bai continued to stroll through the nearby shops. The Beastman Guard was very noticeable; nearly every time Zhou Bai entered a door, she was greeted with warm hospitality. Yet Zhou Bai still stuck to her policy of looking without buying. Eventually, after visiting numerous shops, Zhou Bai felt increasingly confident. Bengala Town was a bustling town, but the cost of living was high, making it very difficult for ordinary residents to live well in such a territory. Moreover, most shops targeted Professionals and tourists. In this case, if the goods from Hope Village were targeted at ordinary people, they could definitely carve out a market share in an unexpected fashion. Plus, it would not attract the attention of Bengala Town’s powers because there were no conflicts of interest. Thinking of this, Zhou Bai felt much more at ease. They certainly wouldn’t come here for nothing! Afterward, Zhou Bai stopped wandering around the town and began preparing to head to the square outside. Sёarᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Zhong Yongnian and his team should be setting up their stall there too. As they approached the town gate, Zhou Bai noticed many people rushing towards the outside. These people were wearing very simple clothes, their overall demeanor markedly different from that of Professionals. Zhou Bai could tell at a glance that they were ordinary residents of Bengala Town. What were they in such a hurry for? As Zhou Bai pondered this, she overheard their excited chatter. "Hurry up, or who knows if there will be any left." "Are steamed buns really two copper coins each?" "Yes! My neighbor bought a lot of things to take home. It’s not just steamed buns—there are many items for one or two copper coins. It’s rare to find such cheap goods, so it’s good to stock up!" "If that’s true, we’ll be able to save more copper coins this month!" "..." Listening to their excited voices, Zhou Bai smiled. This must be Zhong Yongnian and his team’s doing. Indeed, the trip was worth it! The next moment, Zhou Bai turned to Ellis and O’Neill beside her, "You guys go sell your products too!" She knew that O’Neill and the other Beastmen had also stockpiled quite a bit of merchandise! "And you?" O’Neill, although eager to do so, did not forget his duty to protect Zhou Bai. "I’ll follow you guys; I won’t run off," Zhou Bai replied directly. With plenty of money on hand, she could not afford to wander about carelessly in the eyes of others who saw her as a wealthy person. While O’Neill and the others were doing business, she took the opportunity to observe more and gather enough information. Hearing this, O’Neill and the others instantly felt relieved. The next moment, the group followed the footsteps of others and went straight to the square. And at this time, the square was bustling with activity.
