Fang Mu had prearranged the resources he had at his disposal.
He did not have the Life Elixir with a purity of 87% on hand.
However, he figured that the Beast Master who had contracted a Dark-element Beast should not mind accepting a Life Elixir with an even higher level of purity, right?
In the afternoon, Fang Mu accompanied She Wan to several commerce associations for a visit.
On one hand, Fang Mu purely wanted to see how other commerce associations operated.
On the other hand, it was to buy some Dark-element materials.
Upon wandering around, Fang Mu found that the difference between commerce associations and the Official Mall was significant.
The Official Mall displayed supplies for purchase.
Even though customers could hire guides, the guides only facilitated the customers in their search for materials and Guardian Beasts.
They did not give subjective opinions.
However, in the commerce associations, the reception staff was not only capable of assisting customers in seeking materials and Guardian Beasts based on their requirements, but they could also give very professional advice.
Even if certain materials or beasts were not available within the association, the association would help to locate and nurture them as long as a deposit was made.
This thoughtful service is something the Official Mall could not compare with.
Anyone with sufficient Dragon Rising Coins would undoubtedly prefer to enjoy the intimate service at a commerce association.
The flow of supplies throughout the Dragon Rising Federation was fixed every day.
The commerce associations had to compete with both the Official Mall and the other associations to gain more market shares.
Such fierce competition would inevitably lead to an intensely competitive culture.
That afternoon, a few commerce associations observed that She Wan, who was accompanying Fang Mu, exuded a noble aura that could only be cultivated by significant powers.
Moreover, She Wan had been continually addressing Fang Mu as ‘Young Master.’
They, therefore, voluntarily proposed helping Fang Mu if he needed resources that were not available within the association, without requiring a deposit.
Fang Mu was very annoyed by the excessively competitive culture within an industry.
If an industry continues to compete internally, there can only be losers in the end without any winners.
In that case, let Jianmu Commerce Association be the one to establish the norms for commerce associations in the Dragon Rising Federation!
Accomplishing this would be very challenging for other commerce associations, yet Fang Mu could very well do it.
All Jianmu Commerce Association needs to do is provide resources which other commerce associations cannot.
After exiting the door of a commerce association, She Wan turned to Fang Mu and said very earnestly.
“Young Master, it seems like you seldom interact with commerce associations.”
“Currently, there is an unwritten rule within the commerce association.”
“That is, only when one’s spending in the commerce association reaches a certain scale, thereby becoming a member of the commerce association.”
“Will the commerce association bring out their high-end resources!”
“In order to retain high-end customers, each commerce association has used all means at their disposal.”
“This indeed improves the customer stickiness of the commerce association, as excellent service does come at a significant cost!”
“But it also induces antipathy from many high-end customers.”
“This is because there is a significant difference in the control of resources across various commerce associations.”
“Many people who wish to access resources must first spend big to become members of the commerce association!”
“If Jianmu Commerce Association does not comply with this implicit rule of the industry, it will certainly win over many people from the get-go.”
Fang Mu nodded in response to She Wan’s remarks without verbally expressing his agreement or disagreement.
Many Beast Masters dislike letting others know what Guardian Beasts and materials they have purchased.
Many customers would request commerce associations to sign a confidentiality agreement after purchasing materials and beasts.
Given that the transactions were conducted discreetly, Jianmu Commerce Association could keep its deals relatively hidden, no matter how many transactions it conducted.
Fang Mu thought that Jianmu Commerce Association could be considered as his starting point to harvest the entire Beastmaster world.
As soon as six o’clock came around, Fang Yuan arrived at the Office on time.
Upon seeing Fang Mu, Fang Yuan couldn’t help expressing his frustration.
“Little Wood, that man’s name is Yin Nanzhen.”
“I had initially planned to invite him for a meal at the Restaurant of Spiritual Food so that we could discuss whilst dining, but he insisted on coming to the Jianmu Commerce Association.”
“How about we just wait for him in the Office?”
“When he arrives, the security guard will bring him directly here.”
Upon hearing Fang Yuan’s words, Fang Mu immediately recognized Yin Nanzhen’s intentions.
Yin Nanzhen wanted to visit Jianmu Commerce Association to see for himself the strength it had.
That suggested Yin Nanzhen was initially unaware of Jianmu Commerce Association’s situation.
Fang Mu initially thought that Yin Nanzhen decided to jet over to Jianmu Commerce Association because he had heard that it was built by the three construction conglomerates: Mountain Opening, Origin, and Keystone.
However, now it seemed that he might have overthought it.
In such circumstances that Fang Yuan received news from Yin Nanzhen, it indicated that Yin Nanzhen had likely reached the point of trying anything out of desperation.
Since Yin Nanzhen wanted peace of mind, why not just give him just that?
