Ye Qiu, reborn as the King's Avatar, and his younger brother and sister-in-law Su Mucheng

Chapter 34: The Establishment of Silver Weapon Manufacturing Company, Su Muqiu's Get-Rich-Quick Dream?
Ye Qiu wasn't angry at the threat. Instead, he smiled and replied, "Don't worry, boss. I'm not the kind of person who makes a quick buck and runs away. In business, integrity is everything. I'm not going to ruin my own livelihood."

The other party was also a straightforward person: "Okay, then you list your weapon on the auction house, I'll handle the bidding, you pay the handling fee yourself!"

In-game trading allows you to directly transfer equipment to another player, but not money; only gold coins can be directly traded in the game.

But in the early stages of the game, who has that much gold to trade?

Furthermore, to convert gold coins into cash, they must be listed on the auction house and sold to other players.

As for transactions involving goods first and payment later, or payment first and goods later, no one would do such a thing unless they are friends or acquaintances.

Unless you're an idiot.

If you give away your equipment and they don't pay you, you'll be at a huge loss.

As a buyer, he also worries about what to do if he pays the money but the other party doesn't deliver the goods.

Therefore, Honor of Kings has a dedicated auction house where players can put their valuable items up for auction.

The game's auction house partners with banks, and all items sold are directly deposited into the linked bank account.

This way, the transaction is safe and you won't be scammed.

However, Honor will charge a 5% handling fee when selling items at the auction house.

Eighty-eight thousand, the processing fee is four thousand four.

This is a considerable sum of money, and it's quite painful to think about.

But this is the best way, since Ye Qiu can't possibly hand over the weapon to the other party without seeing the money.

Su Muqiu put the weapon up for auction, and it was quickly bought by the owner.

A few seconds later, 83,600 yuan was deposited into Su Muqiu's bank account, which made Su Muqiu very excited.

It should be noted that he only spent two days making this silver weapon and the cost was no more than five or six thousand yuan.

As a result, it was resold for over 80,000!
In just two days, I made a net profit of nearly 80,000 yuan!
To be honest, this was the first time Su Muqiu had ever seen so much money in his life.

This also made him realize the huge profits in making his own weapons. If he could keep making and selling silver weapons, wouldn't he be able to become a millionaire very quickly?

"This money came so fast! You're amazing. If it were me, I would have sold it for just over 20,000. Here, I'll transfer 50,000 to you," Su Muqiu said excitedly.

"Stop. You crafted the Silver Weapon, so I shouldn't be entitled to any of your money."

"However, as you said, you can craft silver weapons but not market them, while I can market them but not craft them, so we're complementary partners. If we're going to split the profits from this weapon, I'll shamelessly take half at most."

At this point, Ye Qiu also remembered the plan he had made before.

The plan to establish Silver Weapon Manufacturing Company was to save money in preparation for establishing a professional esports team two years later.

"How about this, we'll register a company in a while. I'll be in charge of business development and Yinwu's sales, and you'll be in charge of technical services. We'll split the company's profits equally. What do you think?"

Su Muqiu was taken aback. In his mind, a company was something for bosses to play with.

He was just an ordinary person who only knew how to play video games, and he never imagined that he could be associated with a company.

"There's no need to set up a company, right? We can just transfer half of the profits to you directly." Su Muqiu seemed a little shy. For him, it was impossible for him to pocket the money from selling the equipment.

Without Ye Qiu, he probably wouldn't have been able to develop the Silver Weapon, let alone sell it for a high price.

Ye Qiu smiled faintly: "You don't understand. Setting up a company isn't about being afraid of property disputes. A company represents credibility. We help people make silver weapons. If we have a registered company, it's considered a legitimate channel, and the bosses who buy silver weapons will feel more at ease."

"After all, not everyone is as generous as that customer. If we don't have something convincing to offer, it will be difficult to sell the silver-plated item at a higher price, since everyone is cautious and wary of being scammed."

“But now that we have a company, if these customers find out they have been scammed, they can seek legal recourse and won’t be afraid of us scamming them.”

Su Muqiu only half understood what Ye Qiu was saying: "I don't understand these things either, so just do as you say. How much does it cost to register a company?"

Ye Qiu smiled and said, "Registering a company doesn't cost much, just a couple thousand yuan. It mainly takes some time, but we can ask Uncle Chen to help us with that."

"That's fine."

Su Muqiu nodded. His primary concern right now was crafting silver weapons. A single silver weapon cost 88,000; honestly, no one could resist such a lucrative offer.

"So after registering the company, can we mass-produce silver weapons? A single silver weapon sells for 80,000. I can easily make ten or eight a month like the Skeleton Warrior's Sword. That would mean hundreds of thousands of yuan in income a month. We'd be rich!"

"What are you thinking? Dreaming of nothing?"

Ye Qiu smiled as well.

This directly dashed his dreams of getting rich.

"You have to understand that everything is valued for its scarcity. If silver weapons become too common in the game, they will become worthless."

"Just like those luxury brands, they sell their products at such high prices because they strictly control the quantity."

"Moreover, the mass production of silver weapons will cause the price of rare materials in the market to skyrocket."

“At that time, production costs increased significantly, and silver weapons also dropped in price, which would make early customers who bought silver weapons dissatisfied.”

"Therefore, mass production of silver weapons is unrealistic; we must control the quantity."

"Huh? How many silver weapons should we produce in a month?" Su Muqiu was also stunned; he really hadn't thought about this.

"I think it's best to release two silver weapons a month. If we maintain that rate, we'll get 24 weapons a year."

"Then, in addition to silver weapons, we can also produce 5 other silver equipment pieces per month, which means controlling the sale of 7 silver equipment pieces per month, and about 80 silver equipment pieces per year."

"In that case, for Honor of Kings, which has millions of users, the price of silver equipment will not only not plummet, but will also skyrocket due to the rush to buy it."

"80 pieces! At 80,000 each, that's six million!!"

Su Muqiu did the math, and his eyes immediately lit up: "Great!!"

Seeing Su Muqiu's money-obsessed attitude, Ye Qiu couldn't help but laugh and cry: "You can't calculate it that way. Silver armor for other parts is definitely not as valuable as silver weapons."

"Moreover, there are good and bad silver weapons. The silver weapon you just sold is a relatively poor one. If you can research and develop a slightly better one in the future, its value will be even higher."

"But now that players' levels are increasing, the cost of crafting silver weapons will also increase."

"Moreover, there may be other competitors during this period. After all, there are so many players in Glory, and there may be quite a few geniuses who can create silver weapons."

"However, if the two of us join forces, it shouldn't be a problem for each of us to earn a million or so a year."

"Moreover, with the market expanding, future upgrades to silver weapons will also generate a considerable income."

"Your energy is limited. You need to control the amount of work so you can keep up. Otherwise, you'll be busy every day."

"Hehe, that's true."

Upon hearing Ye Qiu's words, Su Muqiu couldn't help but scratch his head.

He was indeed a bit obsessed with money just now.

But it's not his fault.

He was truly terrified of being poor.

He and his sister lost their parents when they were young, and the two siblings grew up in an orphanage.

Four years ago, he left the orphanage with his younger sister and initially made a living by collecting scraps.

Later, he became a network administrator and even learned to make money by playing games, but it was only enough to barely make ends meet.

Now that he's seen such a lucrative opportunity, he must be thrilled.

When he left the orphanage with his younger sister, he told her that he would definitely buy her a beautiful house someday.

Now, he sees hope that he can buy a house.

How could he not be excited?
