Chapter 3247: Foreign Merchants Give Children Freedom

So Mary nodded, subconsciously took out her ID card, and wanted to pay with the digital blue gold coin, but then she remembered that there was no digital payment sign outside the store, so she took back her ID card.

But the boss stopped her and said, "Madam, are you going to pay with digital blue gold coins? Sure, you can transfer it to me directly!"

"Hmm?" Lady Mary looked at the other party in confusion.

The boss quickly explained, "My son is in the Territory Guard. He came back last night to help me activate my digital account. However, because I had to look after the store, I didn't have time to go to the Government Affairs Office to apply for a commercial payment card. But I have my ID card with me all the time. You can just transfer it to me."

"Is that okay?"

"Of course, no problem. My store is a legitimate one, registered with the Government Affairs Office. If you don't believe me, you can check it out!"

"I'm not talking about the store, but is there any problem with private transfers like this?"

"What's the problem? My son said that this digital blue gold coin is the same as the real blue gold coin. The commercial payment card is just for the convenience of others to collect the money when I'm not around. It doesn't affect our transaction."

"I understand."

Mary previously treated the digital blue gold coins somewhat as helping her husband complete a task, but after hearing what her boss said, she finally realized what was going on.

Digital blue gold coins are real blue gold coins. Transferring one yuan is equivalent to handing a one-yuan blue gold coin to the other party face to face.

However, there are only four types of blue gold coins with "yuan" as the unit, namely "1 yuan", "2 yuan", "5 yuan" and "10 yuan". If you happen to pay 3 yuan, you can only get change.

If you choose to pay with digital blue gold coins, you can transfer 3 yuan directly without having to go through the extra step of getting change.

Even if the digital blue gold coin supports payment in units of "jiao" in the future, it will be even more convenient. Ordinary people will not even need to carry any coins when going out!

In the end, Mrs. Mary bought four pairs of shoes for her daughter for 10 blue gold coins.

Of course, this is the actual price she paid. If we look at the pricing, each pair of rubber shoes would cost more than ten yuan, and the factory price is also at this standard.

It’s just that the territory will give subsidies to its own people. If this store really needs to purchase the goods at a price of more than ten blue gold coins per pair, but after receiving the goods, it can immediately go to the Government Affairs Office to apply for subsidies.

When it is actually sold, it is sold at the price minus the subsidy.

If outsiders want to buy cheap rubber shoes, they can only go to Daxia in person to buy them, which is considered as a subsidy. If they purchase in large quantities, they can only choose the factory price of more than 10 yuan from the rubber shoe factory.

The outsiders Mary saw buying shoes in the store just now, although the price they finally agreed on was not the original price of 10 yuan, it was still much higher than what the locals paid.

But if you buy it outside of Daxia Territory, the price of at least 10 blue gold coins is not acceptable to everyone. It is better to take a boat or airship to Daxia Territory to buy it.

Not to mention that the boat ride takes a very long time, the cheapest airship fare is 50 gold coins (Mingshui) for a one-way trip from Seventon to Daxialing, which is about 45 yuan when converted into Daxialing's blue gold coins.

Just buy a few more pairs of shoes and you can earn back the price of the ticket.

In fact, most people who come to Daxialing are not just for shopping, but more for making money, just like the few out-of-town guests just now. Would a normal customer buy a hundred pairs of shoes at one time?

Moreover, each person had 100 pairs of shoes, in various styles and sizes. What else could it be for but resale? And the most important thing was that the number of 100 pairs just met the bottom line of large-scale purchases.

If you need more than a hundred pairs, you will need to go to the rubber shoe factory and buy them at least 10 yuan per pair. At least the store dare not sell more than a hundred pairs of shoes at one time.

Otherwise, it would be a blatant subsidy fraud. Once discovered, in addition to confiscation of illegal gains, additional fines and detention will be imposed.

Of course, those outsiders can also choose to buy in other stores, but there are only four or five shoe stores in the whole Daxialing, and one of them is a display store of a rubber shoe factory and is not open to ordinary customers.

Therefore, the amount of goods that outsiders can actually get at a lower price is actually not much, at least not as much as the real big merchants. And the real big merchants will not really buy the goods at the 10 yuan price, but will sign a profit-sharing agreement.

Mrs. Mary has worked in the rubber shoe factory for a long time and has seen a lot. If she didn't have a daughter to worry about, she would actually prefer to go out and try her luck.

He would first take Daxia's various products to various places to do business, and after saving up some money, he would then acquire shops or even original factories to build his own business empire.

Her idol is President Jenna of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce. Unfortunately, she can't leave home for too long before Jasmine grows up. Her husband has joined the territory guard, and she is the only adult left at home. She can't ask her husband to retire and come back to take care of the children!
……

The thought of doing business flashed through Mrs. Mary's mind. Although it was short-lived, it left a very deep impact. Perhaps she might really become a famous businessman in the North in the future.

But right now, she is just an ordinary woman who works four jobs to support her family and is taking her children on a big shopping spree before school.

In addition to clothes, shoes and socks, Mrs. Mary also bought some small accessories for her daughter, which had never happened in the past. It was not because they could not afford them, but in the eyes of most ordinary people, children from ordinary families did not need to wear ornaments.

Even snacks. In the past, the only snacks Jasmine could enjoy were to use her occasional pocket money to grab a handful of candy from the community candy grandpa. But now, there are not only candy, but also all kinds of new snacks that she has never heard of or seen before, but they taste good at first sight.

Jasmine felt that she was so happy today. When she left East Street, she couldn't help but ask her mother, "Can I still eat these snacks in the future?"

"Of course you can. I will give you pocket money every month. You can buy whatever you like. Just remember not to waste it."

Jasmine's enrollment in school did change a lot of things. Mrs. Mary no longer treated Jasmine as a child who needed to be disciplined by her. She gave Jasmine more freedom, including the freedom to manage her pocket money.

Although Jasmine could not understand her mother's change, she liked it very much. If possible, she hoped her mother would always be like this.

……

The school year has started in the Daxia Territory. Whether it is the elementary school in the territory or the three-year quasi-mage training in the Tower of Time, people are extremely busy.

In Evereska, the Northern Alliance investigators were also very busy, tracing clues from Elan all the way to Evereska, and finally locked on several targets.

The next step is to have an interview or directly arrest them.
