Chapter 40 Online Shopping Mall

Charles and the others experienced something they had not experienced for a long time. People were calling them non-stop.

Obviously, those large Chambers of Commerce could not wait any longer.

Whoever took the initiative, would be able to grab more benefits.

Joss naturally would not refuse anyone.

The more people, the better.

Moreover, this time was different from the previous magic phone sales. The magic phone sales needed to give the real thing, but online payment only needed to provide a QR code. A QR code did not need to be manually made. The magic patterns on the mobile phone could automatically generate the corresponding QR code, provided that it was downloaded from online banking.

This was also a kind of bundling strategy.

However, this was not enough. Dale could predict that there were still a lot of functions that could be added to online banking, and other Chambers of Commerce could also predict it.

Joss also had plans in this regard.

He wanted to expand the influence of online banking and online payment, and at the same time build momentum for the Third-Generation Gemini phones.

However, what kind of power should be introduced?

Joss fell into deep thought.

It did not take long for him to come up with an idea.

It was still based on the experience of his previous life. In his previous life, other than instant messaging, the most well-known thing was online shopping.

Compared to instant messaging, it was more used for office work or communication. Online shopping was the most irresistible thing. No one could refuse to lie at home and enjoy the fun of shopping.

It was even more so for mages.

They were already tired of buying all kinds of materials, especially certain materials that could only be bought in certain places. Just buying materials would waste a lot of time.

After confirming the establishment of the online shopping mall, Joss held a meeting again.

“The online shopping mall is to buy things online. Now that the technology of the World Wide Magic Web has matured, especially the last online payment pilot, it has reflected the convenience of the World Wide Magic Web. Next, we need to vigorously develop the online shopping mall. In addition, we also need to formulate a specific name.”

“It’s called ‘Alibaba’!”

Joss briefly described the function of the online shopping mall, and also directly brought up the title of his previous life.

Everyone nodded as they listened.

However, someone questioned, “Sir, the online mall is indeed a good idea, but will the other Chambers of Commerce accept it? After all, we will charge a certain fee to sell it in the online mall.”

As the question was raised, everyone fell into deep thought.

This was a very real question that involved the most practical interests.

Moreover, this kind of thing had never happened before.

“There’s no need to worry about the Chamber of Commerce’s problems. As long as they realize the convenience of the online mall and the huge sales volume it will bring, they will beg us.”

Regarding the online mall, Joss had full confidence.

His experience in his previous life told him that what made money was never the sales of anything, but the platform.

The online shopping mall was such a platform.

When everyone got used to online payment, online shopping would definitely rise. and the online shopping mall, as the platform for the online shops of many Chambers of Commerce, would decide life and death.

However, there were still some problems that needed to be dealt with.

Joss continued, “It’s inevitable that other Chambers of Commerce will accept it. But we can’t slowly promote it either. We need an example to tell them about the function of the online shopping mall, just like the last online payment experience.”

Dale’s promotion had an immediate effect.

Joss had already fallen in love with this method. After all, the people of the Hopeland Continent trusted the things that really happened more than the promises they made.

For the mages, it was even more so.

Mages were originally a group of people who sought the truth.

However, which aspect should they use first?

The crowd once again fell into a discussion.

“Perhaps we can open an online shop, just like the magic mobile phone experience shop, and then promote it to support door-to-door delivery.”

“Not a bad idea.”

Many people agreed, but a large number of people disagreed. “Of course, we can open an online shop, but how can we guarantee that people will buy it? We’ve spent a lot of effort to make online payment more popular, but now it’s mainly used in restaurants, hotels, and the like because they can see for themselves the goods or services they buy.”

“As for online shops, they don’t really trust them.”

Everyone was hesitant.

Trust was always a big problem.

Although the Twin Towers were at their peak, and new things were constantly appearing, the Twin Towers did not only exist for a few years. In the past, the Twin Towers’ reputation could not be said to be very good.

It was also in the current Twin Towers that many residents were willing to believe.

In other mage towers or other forces, even though the Twin Towers had achieved their current achievements, it was still nothing compared to some of the older forces.

Moreover, the online shopping mall was not only targeted at some business associations.

In Joss’ plan, even individuals could open shops on the Alibaba platform and sell items.

In this way, he had to ensure absolute credibility.

Otherwise, who would sell items on it.

However, such credibility was something that even the current Gringotts could not achieve.

This was because the items being sold would definitely have some difficulty to sell items. This was also a world where the strong preyed on the weak. Although it appeared calm on the surface, in reality, there were turbulent undercurrents.

Hence, in order to fully spread out, the Twin Towers needed to have a certain level of strength.

Regarding this, Joss was not worried.

He was already a Grand Magus. After a few rounds of cultivation, his strength had increased again.

Moreover, as long as he continued to promote various magical inventions, through the system, he would be able to continuously increase his strength. He could even step onto the path of the gods that no one had ever visited before.

At that time, there was nothing to worry about.

However, talking about this was not too practical. Joss thought for a moment and also rejected this suggestion.

“Now, the loss outweighs the gain by launching a dedicated online store. We can’t ensure that all the items can be prepared. That’s unrealistic. But for customers, if they can’t find the things they want to buy in the online store, they will inevitably have a bad impression of the online store.

“Moreover, the gimmicks of the online shop aren’t enough to attract the attention of the majority of people.”

Joss analyzed a few sentences, and everyone immediately nodded in agreement.

As expected of Joss, he was indeed insightful!

However, if the suggestion was rejected, then a new suggestion had to be put forward.

At this moment, a suggestion made Joss’ eyes light up.

“Sir, I think we can try an online auction!”

Online auction!

This was a good idea.

The auction itself was mysterious and could attract many people.

An online auction could not only make more people participate in it, but it could also reflect the role of the online shopping mall. This was a good idea.

They continued to discuss, but no new ideas came up.

Joss took the opportunity to set up the next task, an online auction.

He also had an idea of who he was working with.

Diagon Alley, the largest auction house in Hopeland!
