Previously, the City of Sages had already tentatively held an auction. At that auction, Yin Lian mainly auctioned specialties from the City of Sages - or to be more precise, mainly limited edition peripherals from the drama "The Wizard King", and also included some of Martier's recent popular products. .
The auction at that time was held directly in the theater, and it can be said to be quite successful. At the auction, the most expensive item was the colorful skirt worn by the actress Salmati. In addition, other items such as the magic photo crystal replica and the magic voice crystal replica used as stage props were also sold. They were all sold very quickly and at very high prices. In addition to these, Yin Lian also prepared many other miscellaneous small products to recharge, such as various desserts and foods special to the Sage City. The highlight was some candies produced by Tita, although it was only Standard candy, but with the current production level of Martial, it is absolutely impossible to produce it.
These products are highly sought after by the nobles of the Matir Continent. Many people even wish they could wrap up everything and take them home. They only regret that their wallets are not thick enough to withstand the exploitation of these novel products. But even so, after the first auction, there were still strong calls for second and third auctions, showing the popularity of the products in the City of Sages.
In fact, Yin Lian does plan to turn such auctions into regular events.
Just as she expected, the popularity of the drama quickly drove the sales of various products. The first is the clothes - after the colorful skirts worn by the actors sold for high prices, the first batch of colorful skirts produced by the factory in the City of Sages were similar in shape but with different materials. These skirts are all made of ordinary cotton and are quite different from the original gauze skirts. The only similarity is the brightness of the dyeing. Martial's clothes have the same problem as in ancient China, that is, it is difficult to control the specific shade and uniformity when dyeing. In many cases, in order to control the uniformity of color, one has to repeatedly render the look.
But Yin Lian's factory solved this problem effortlessly. The skirt produced in the end was bright and dreamy in color. Although it couldn't compare with the translucent gauze skirt on the stage, it was bright enough compared with other clothes of this era. Eye-catching and eye-catching.
As soon as this batch of clothes came out, they were loved by the nobles.
Exported clothes aside, nobles are still a minority in this world. The productivity of the factory is amazing, and it is far beyond what can be consumed by just a few aristocratic-style long skirts, so Yin Lian also allocated half of the production capacity to specialize in making some plain clothes that are convenient for work.
These plain clothes include dark and light colors. A large number of them are various uniforms, and although the designs are not exquisite, the overall style is clean and neat. Most of them are in the style of various shirts, trousers, or shirts and skirts. After production, they were assigned to various industries. According to Yin Lian's custom, factory workers wear blue uniforms, waiters in various stores wear red uniforms, and service staff in other industries also have their own exclusive colors, such as Volunteers in orphanages or church systems wear white uniforms, while those responsible for maintaining order in the city or performing public services wear the same black as the mages.
In fact, there are also mages who wear black uniforms like this out of curiosity, so sometimes many people can't tell whether these people who maintain public order are mages, and their attitude will be much more cautious when facing disputes.
However, these uniforms are not issued for free, they all need to be redeemed with vouchers.
In fact, by this time, in the Capital of Sages and even in several other cities, vouchers had become a currency with higher credibility than gold and silver coins, but Yin Lian was still trying to use various means to further enhance and consolidate its credibility.
In addition to clothing, all kinds of food, magic props and other specialties produced in the Sage City are currently generally paid with gold coins and vouchers. However, many limited edition products can only be purchased with vouchers, and gold coins are used. It must be redeemed into a voucher first.
But Yin Lian does not directly issue vouchers. Vouchers will only be distributed in various ways as compensation to employees of various institutions serving the City of Sages, so this will lead to the actual value of the voucher being slightly higher than the official price, and even the price is not available. .
This is also a scene deliberately created by Yin Lian.
The first auction was very effective. It not only harvested a large amount of gold coins, but also promoted the City of Sages very well. After thinking about it, Yin Lian decided to formally establish an auction house in the Capital of Sages to auction some useful things.
During this period of time, the City of Sages has also accumulated some valuable commodities, such as various magical equipment made by magicians that are beneficial to the lives of nobles. Since the performance during this period, Yin Lian has asked the actors There are a variety of costumes that we have displayed in different cities, or some magic jewelry and magic ornaments made from precious monster teeth or horns, carefully designed and full of beauty.
In the past, anyone who wanted to buy these things would probably not be able to find a channel. In fact, from the past, some bold nobles would secretly buy some dangerous or convenient magic props from magicians in private. This cannot be bought with money. In many cases, the noble himself has to have a certain relationship with the magician, and the magician needs to be good at making or using the magic that the other party needs.
But at this time, these things are about to be put up for auction in the City of Sages.
This alone makes many people full of expectations.
But there are not only magic props, but also various magic scrolls or magic potions. Because vouchers are so rare, magicians are basically willing to use scrolls or potions they make in exchange for vouchers, and these scrolls and potions are needed by many people, and the Life Church sells them at higher prices. , selling it to adventurers or nobles from other countries can not only enrich your own product types, but also earn the price difference.
However, the Church of Life not only collects these things, it also acquires various magical and non-magical materials over a long period of time, attracting many adventurers over time. At the same time, businessmen who come and go want to purchase goods from the City of Sages. When they come, they will also bring some specialties from other places and sell them in the City of Sages. If they encounter good goods, Life Church will give priority to acquiring them, and after many times, some fixed business channels will be formed.
As time goes by, the growing prosperity of the City of Sages can be clearly felt. Nowadays, in the City of Sages, most people can already enjoy a wide variety of products that are basically as good as those in Baisha Port City. What they need to worry about is just that their wallets are not thick enough, not where to get the products.
But Yin Lian has greater ambitions. In addition to the rich variety of ordinary commodities, the City of Sages should also have more special commodities of its own, preferably things that are special enough to attract the attention of the powerful in various countries and not hesitate to come from afar to buy them. For this reason, the establishment of an auction house is imminent.
According to Yin Lian's plan, the auction house in the City of Sages should conduct a large auction every fifteen days and a small auction every five days on average. A large auction must have a large number of rare auction items, while a small auction must have at least one or two pieces as the finale. Ordinary adventurers or teams can take their rare harvests to the auction house for auction, and the trading house only charges a 20% commission. Although it is obviously too expensive for the earth, it is already expensive for the adventurers of Matil. It's quite cheap.
The auction house will raise special rare props for each auction and will also set some themes. On non-auction days, it can also accept private exhibition and sales contracts, including but not limited to magic props, magic raw materials, food, and various photos. Records of crystals and phonocrystals, etc.
In addition, there are also exhibition themes such as beautiful clothes, various magical energy sources or other precious materials.
At the beginning, the auction had not yet become famous, so all the finale props and merchandise for sale were raised and arranged by Yin Lian himself.
However, since before, Yin Lian has more or less begun to raise the second wave of peripherals of the "Mage King" series, including a large number of improved costumes for later performances, colorful carved dolls of all characters, etc.
The colorfully carved dolls were made directly from the videos and went to China to find professional masters to make them by hand. The whole thing is very detailed and lifelike, and of course it is expensive. However, as soon as he entered and exited, Yin Lian's expenses had long been repaid, and he basically made a profit without losing money.
In addition, Yin Lian also ordered many special magic peripheral props. For example, she specially designed a magic bottle, and asked the mages to create a special energy supply circuit in the magic bottle according to her requirements, and put it in A small flame with a special shape. This kind of magical little flame can maintain a fixed shape change in a special bottle. It is basically the appearance of the little flame used to express love in the drama "The Wizard King".
There are only two forms of this little flame, one is the classic flame shape with a fat head and a fat brain, and the other is a transformed love shape.
No matter how you think about it, it is a powerful tool for confession.
The mages themselves liked this thing very much when they saw it. Although most of them seemed to lack interest in love and had no one to express their love to, they were still very keen to collect such collections. In any case, if you can have the same flame as the Mage King, it is basically equivalent to having the same ideals as your idol.
Although the Black Sage felt that what these guys lacked was not a bottle of fire, but a Salmati with whom they could talk to each other.
At the same time, rehearsals for "The Black Sage" are basically on track. During this process, Yin Lian upgraded the stage, plot and choreography. Since there were no actors with black hair and black eyes, Yin Lian chose to have the actor who played the Black Sage get his hair dyed and colored contacts - and then quickly added the hair dye and colored contacts to the next product catalog.
Dates for the Black Sage's performance and the auction house's opening soon followed. On the afternoon of the last day of the snowy month, "Black Sage" will have its premiere at the Grand Theater in the Sage City. At dusk that day, the auction will begin.
