Chapter 523 The money of the Terra nobles is really easy to make!
Lin Mo looked in the direction he pointed.
In the scene, a dozen burly minotaurs and werewolves are tightly surrounding the Da Xia Daily Necessities section.
What they covet most isn't cutting-edge technology, but rather everyday necessities.
A minotaur vendor is holding a box of "extra thick and soft toilet paper" and grinning foolishly.
In Terra, orcs usually only use leaves or clods of dirt to relieve themselves, and those who are more particular wash themselves with water.
When they first came into contact with Daxia's three-layer embossed, soft, and skin-friendly toilet paper, it felt like touching an elf's face.
Even crazier is the condiment section.
Several cat-eared merchants were queuing up, stuffing box after box of soy sauce, Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, thirteen-spice powder, and cumin powder into their cloth bags.
The sales assistant at the nearby supermarket was sweating profusely when she stopped a werewolf who was trying to chug soy sauce straight from the bottle.
"Hey, hey, hey! This is called light soy sauce! It's for seasoning stir-fries, you can't just use it directly!"
The werewolf didn't care about any of that.
He just tried a bite of the grilled meat skewers marinated with Da Xia seasoning and was so moved that he burst into tears.
Yes, that's the taste. Warwick brought back a batch of seasonings before, and after tasting that flavor, he could never forget it.
Now, he finally has one of his own!
Zhao Gang looked at the surveillance footage and sighed.
"Orcs are too poor; they can't afford anything too expensive."
"But these seasonings and daily necessities that cost only a few dollars or tens of dollars are treasures in their eyes."
"We'll ship them back, resell them to our fellow tribesmen at a markup of a few times, and they'll become rich overnight."
Lin Mo nodded in agreement.
Indeed, for the orcs, who even lacked paper, the various daily necessities of the Great Xia were simply divine artifacts.
Change your life, starting with your stomach and butt.
"What about the Holy Human Race? These arrogant nobles wouldn't look down on our iron pots, would they?" Lin Mo asked curiously.
"Of course they wouldn't want an iron pot." Zhao Gang rubbed his chin, chuckled, and switched the surveillance footage.
"What they're after are high-end items that reflect 'aristocratic taste'."
"For example, various packaged foods, and..."
The screen then rotated, revealing the high-end home appliance section of the Holy Human race.
There were no hawkers' cries, only a group of elegantly dressed, holy human nobles, staring blankly around a series of televisions and a fully automatic washing machine, as if witnessing a miracle.
The television was plugged into a USB drive containing thousands of films exported through cultural exchange, enough for them to watch for a lifetime.
The clarity, the cinematic language...
For example, the image-capturing and sound-capturing magic is far more advanced.
The nobles watched with rapt attention, exclaiming in amazement.
And around them, there was another circle of people.
In the center of the crowd, a salesperson from the large building skillfully poured a cup of dirty water into the washing machine, threw in a garment covered in mud, and pressed the start button.
Through the transparent glass hatch, the nobles watched helplessly as the water churned.
With a "ding," the hatch opened, and a pristine white robe, still exuding the fresh scent of fabric softener, was pulled out.
"Holy Light above! This is not magic!" A nobleman exclaimed excitedly, his beard trembling.
"It's not magic, it's technology!" the salesman shouted, trying to sell.
"Fully automatic front-loading washing machines free up your hands, giving your servants more time to serve you tea and water!"
"A standard feature for the elite, you deserve it!"
Lin Mo raised an eyebrow as he watched this scene:
"Brother Zhao, there's no power grid on Terra. How are they going to use this washing machine after they buy it?"
"We can't rely on slaves standing by every day pedaling bicycles to generate electricity manually, can we?"
Zhao Gang laughed heartily.
"Don't worry about that, those guys in charge of business have already taken care of it!"
He zoomed in on the corner of the surveillance camera.
On the side of the washing machine, a black metal box was hanging. Through the transparent plastic panel, a palm-sized crystal emitting blue light could be seen inserted inside.
"Powered by energy blocks?" Lin Mo recognized it at a glance.
"That's right!" Zhao Gang said with a hint of pride.
"Our company, Daxia, not only sells electrical appliances, but also energy!"
"We simply converted all the electrical appliances exported to Terra into 'energy block slot versions'."
A converter about the size of a power bank, with a basic power supply, can directly supply electricity at the standard voltage of the Great Xia as long as it is plugged into an appliance.
"Look at these rich kids from the Holy Human Race," Zhao Gang said, pointing at the screen.
"They buy washing machines, light bulbs, and even large-screen game consoles; they're not short of money at all."
"Moreover, the energy prices we set are acceptable to them!"
Within the Great Xia, a single kilowatt-hour of electricity costs only a few cents, but when it's made into energy blocks and sold to the Terrans, the official price is ten Great Xia coins per kilowatt-hour!
A basic energy block the size of a gold bar, compressed with 1,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity, is priced at 10,000 yuan.
Converted to Terra currency, it's exactly ten gold coins.
"Ten gold coins are worth ten thousand yuan to us, but for those nobles, it's just a day's expenses," Zhao Gang exclaimed in amazement.
"Buy a washing machine, and while you're at it, buy a ten-gold-coin energy block. That should last for years."
"They not only didn't think it was expensive, but they also felt that this 'alchemy tool' had extremely low consumption, making it a great deal!"
Lin Mo was delighted to hear this.
Good heavens, the Great Xia has perfectly replicated the "not making money selling printers, but making a fortune selling ink cartridges" formula in another world.
Not only home appliances, but even nobles of the Holy Human Race were seen watching the cars in the surveillance footage.
The Daxia special edition new energy off-road vehicle has an extremely high chassis and is powered by a super-large capacity energy block.
The towns of various ethnic groups in Terra have brick roads inside and solid dirt roads outside, which are perfectly drivable.
An elegant nobleman sat in the driver's seat, stepped on the gas, and the SUV shot off.
The feeling of being pushed back made those who were used to riding horses scream with excitement.
He immediately bought several large bags of gold coins to pay in full for the car, and was about to drive it back to Terra overnight to show off.
Most importantly, those nobles are already tired of horse riding and find it uncomfortable, but this car... will definitely be more exciting!
"These rich people's money is really easy to make." Lin Mo shook his head and shifted his gaze to another area.
The far left side of the Great Xia Trade Center is the Elf territory.
Compared to the orcs' crudeness and the holy humans' grandeur, the elves' scenery is as beautiful as an idol drama.
Handsome male and female elves were crowding into the clothing and cosmetics sections of the Great Xia.
The naturally beauty-loving elf has absolutely no resistance to the suits, trench coats, Lolita dresses, princess dresses, and high heels designed by the modern industrial assembly line of Great Xia.
Lin Mo's gaze swept across the screen, then suddenly paused.
He saw a familiar figure.
Fendona!
She changed into a modern Lolita princess dress from the Great Xia Dynasty, with black and white lace trim that accentuated her slender waist.
The most deadly thing was that she wore a pair of white stockings made in the Great Xia region on her smooth and slender legs.
With her waterfall-like silver hair and pointed elf ears, the visual impact was so striking that the male elves next to her couldn't even walk straight.
Judging from Fendona's expression, she was clearly extremely satisfied with the outfit.
She even had nail stickers with a reflective effect of rhinestones applied with the help of a nail technician at Daxia.
Then, she picked up the instant camera she had just bought, made a peace sign in the mirror, and smiled sweetly.
