"These are the most recent income and expenditure statistics for Hearthstone Tavern."
Mrs. Marina handed the written account book to Joshua, who opened the account book and turned over a few pages.
From the opening of the Hearthstone Tavern to the present, the income and expenditure of each item of the tavern have been carefully written on it, and the total expenditure will be counted once a month.
In terms of financial management, Mrs. Marina has done a very good job. After all, this elderly woman rescued a destitute chamber of commerce by herself.
How many card packs were sold in this month, Qiao Xiu recorded in the server of the original crystal lizard.
Since the area of the Hearthstone Tavern has tripled, and the number of magical machines that carry the Hearthstone legend has also expanded a lot, the original crystal lizard has two new companions.
However, even if these indolent creatures gather together, they usually just hibernate with their eyes closed.
Joshua checked the money earned by selling card packs on the account book with the number of card packs sold, and found that there were no errors.
"Mr. Joshua... I think I need to hire a few more attendants."
Mrs. Marina took out another directory of the "Register of Employed Persons".
"That's fine, but I'm curious where you got these attendants from."
Qiao Xiu took the directory handed over by Mrs. Marina, flipped through the contents, and found that it was terrifyingly detailed.
These servants hired by Marina do not only have basic information such as names and genders, but even their past experiences and home addresses.
If it wasn't for the "lamp" that Qiao Xiu was using now was the original spar inscribed with the illumination technique, Qiao Xiu even suspected that he had returned to the earth.
These directories can be regarded as a job resume, the kind without photos.
"Nolan is a city that respects contracts, Mr. Qiao Xiu, there are some chambers of commerce here that can provide some places to hire workers." Mrs. Marina explained.
"Not... a slave?"
For this kind of market, Joshua immediately thought of the most common slave market in the Middle Ages.
"I'm getting old and my memory is a little weak, but the slave trade has disappeared decades ago. There may be other countries, but Nolan is absolutely forbidden." Mrs. Marina said.
"The most prosperous city in the world...?"
Joshua can no longer describe this city in the Middle Ages. The magic workshop opposite the River of Gears has been in operation for more than 50 years, and the magic machinery produced in it has already appeared in the prototype of modern technology.
For example... Car, Joshua saw a "car" driven by magic power driving down the street not long ago. Although it attracted a lot of onlookers at the time, Joshua believed that in the near future, this thing would eventually Replace the carriage.
Nolan has ushered in the first industrial revolution, and even opened the door to the second industrial revolution under the catalysis of magic.
And Qiao Xiu helped Nolan's residents to open the door of the information age first.
"Next time Mrs. Marina, you go to the market to hire a servant, please take me with you."
Joshua handed the list to Lady Marina.
The technology tree of human beings in this world has climbed too fast, whether it is for civilian use or military use... And the social ecology of the devil world, according to the memory of the third prince, still stays in the "medieval" class.
Although Qiao Xiu didn't want to participate in the struggle of the demon world, but the demon world was also Qiao Xiu's hometown. It would not be fun if the door was blown open by a human with a "380mm cannon".
But this is not something that Joshua needs to worry about. Joshua's sister Sehili has been working hard to change the pedantic and backward demon world. She hopes that after she gets the magic net, she can have a better understanding of the current human world.
What Joe Xiu should consider now is to expand the manpower of his "Entertainment Guild". At present, Joe Xiu can only think of two ways to expand.
The first is to look for suitable actors in Sir Whitebud, and the other is to go to the "talent market" mentioned by Lady Marina.
"No problem, Mr. Joshua... Also, about the price of your Hearthstone card pack."
Mrs. Marina also didn't know whether this proposal should be mentioned. At first, the price of the card package set by Joshua was three gold coins, but it was finally reduced to one gold coin.
"Is it too expensive?"
Joshua had already guessed the question that Marina said.
Even if the price of the final card pack is set at one gold coin, there are still many customers who complain that the price is too expensive.
In particular, Cheryl, a poor judge and a part-time online writer, often posted on the caster forum, "I've been so poor that I have to eat dirt to survive recently, and I beg good-hearted people to give 328 gold coins and eat a full meal, I don't know. What new card pack, I don't know what Goblin vs. Gnome" and other posts.
The expensive card packs also lead to the expensive cards. Currently, the most expensive card on consignment in the Hearthstone Tavern is the golden Balrog, which costs as much as 4,000 gold coins, which is enough for spellcasters to buy a high-quality spell. stick.
For the dwarves, who made their fortunes by selling the original spar, one gold coin really does not need to blink an eye for them, but for some poorer civilians or spellcasters, one gold coin is enough for them to live a week.
Although Joshua has a quest in the system to win three games a day and get a card pack, the majority of players complain that the price of the card pack is too expensive. After the release of the new card pack, this kind of complaint has been on the caster forum. become more and more.
"Mr. Joshua, I don't think there is a need for a price reduction," said Mrs. Marina.
Although the price reduction can satisfy those poor players, it is those rich spellcasters or dwarves who really buy card packs in large quantities for consumption... If the price is reduced, it will cause a psychological imbalance to players who have spent a lot of money on card packs. .
"It doesn't cut the price, but it can be discounted." Joshua said.
"Discount… "
Mrs. Marina watched Joshua take out a piece of white paper and a pen, and Joshua wrote the words "50% OFF" on the white paper.
"I think you know, it's a very common way of commercial sales, during certain festivals in Nolan, we can sell cards for ninety percent, seventy percent, or fifty percent of the price. Bag."
No matter which world, discounts are always a means of stimulating intelligent creatures to enter the state of buying, buying, buying, and the same is true in this world.
The exchange rate between gold coins and silver coins in Nolan is stable at ten to one, so after discounts, card packs can be sold in the form of silver coins.
"These few days are just in time to celebrate the release of the new card pack, and Mrs. Marina will set the price for the discount."
Joshua handed the paper with 50% OFF to Mrs. Marina, a businesswoman who knew how to make more money with this method than Joshua.
