Chapter 235: The Heavenly Origin Sacred Land Is Going to Lose Big… (Part 1)
“Master, in just one day.
“The deposits in Immortal Net Cloud Flash Pay have exceeded ten million high-grade spirit stones.
“One hundred million cultivators have deposited their spirit stones into Immortal Net Cloud Flash Pay.
“And at the entrances of the Heavenly Origin Pavilions across the land, there are still countless people waving spirit stones, wanting to deposit them.”
The Foreign Affairs Elder reported with great excitement.
Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded calmly.
Ten million high-grade spirit stones…
That is indeed a significant amount.
However, compared to the entire ten billion cultivators in Great Yan Province, it’s not much.
In fact, it can be said to be quite small.
Clearly, most cultivators are only depositing spirit stones to take advantage of the 2% discount for shopping.
They do not intend to deposit all their spirit stones to earn interest.
Ye Chen had anticipated this.
Promoting online payments in the cultivation world could not be achieved just with interest and discounts.
It would take a considerable amount of time to cultivate cultivators’ habits of using online payments.
Once it became a natural habit in the future, it would naturally succeed.
And now, there was already a good start.
“How did the income from the various applications of the Sacred Land fare yesterday?” Ye Chen wanted to know the effectiveness of the 2% discount.
If cultivators were as enthusiastic about discounts as people on Earth, it might be possible to hold a similar shopping festival every year, like Double Eleven, to boost consumption.
The Foreign Affairs Elder respectfully replied, “Master, the 2% discount is truly inspired.
“Yesterday, the number of participants in the Immortal Net Auction House auctions doubled compared to usual.
“And the number of members on Immortal Net Weibo surged by four million, with many people purchasing several months’ worth of memberships at once.
“As for Immortal Net Taobao, it was even crazier!
“Just the transaction amount for one day reached five million high-grade spirit stones.
“Our commission for the day was five hundred thousand, five times more than before!
“Master, you are truly brilliant.”
The Foreign Affairs Elder spoke with a beaming smile about the success of the discount.
He was even more in awe of their master.
Because when Ye Chen initially proposed the discount, the elders were actually not in favor.
They thought it was unnecessary to make such a big fuss for Immortal Net Cloud Flash Pay.
Interest alone was already a significant amount.
Adding a 2% discount seemed like a loss.
But seeing today’s income, all the elders were stunned.
The master’s 2% discount not only didn’t lose money but actually made a profit.
And promoted Immortal Net Cloud Flash Pay in the process.
It was a perfect outcome.
Listening to this, Ye Chen also smiled.
Clearly, human nature was the same.
Faced with discounts, cultivators couldn’t resist.
So, in the future, it would be entirely feasible to hold a Double Eleven-like event every year.
With activities such as “buy over two hundred and get ten off.”
It would definitely cause a sensation in Great Yan Province…
After the Foreign Affairs Elder left, Ye Chen stood on the peak of the Saint Master’s Peak, gazing far and looking over the sea of clouds.
The development of Immortal Net Cloud Flash Pay was promising.
So, it was time to quickly introduce the loan feature.
However, just relying on interest and a one-week discount might not be enough to make cultivators form the habit of online payments.
So, more features that require online payments need to be introduced.
And they need to be high in usage and sticky.
It’s best if they require daily payments just like the shared bikes in the previous life.
They didn’t make much money themselves.
But major internet giants vied to enter the market and acquire shared bike companies.
The goal was to have users use their own online payment tools when scanning codes.
Increasing user stickiness.
What features or applications could make cultivators pay every day?
Suddenly, his eyes lit up…
Adding a lottery feature to Immortal Net Cloud Flash Pay!
Cultivators’ desire for spirit stones was even higher than Earth people’s desire for money.
Because spirit stones were related to cultivation resources, cultivation level, lifespan, and combat power.
If a lottery was launched in Great Yan Province, giving people a chance to become rich overnight, it would definitely cause a sensation.
Countless cultivators would buy lottery tickets every day.
Cultivators’ payment frequency would undoubtedly skyrocket.
Moreover, the lottery was a highly profitable industry.
The income was definitely substantial.
Ye Chen smiled and headed directly to the Forbidden Area.
On the third day of Immortal Net Weibo’s launch, at the entrances of the Heavenly Origin Pavilions across the land, cultivators were still lining up.
But the queues were no longer as long as at the beginning.
There was no need to wait too long to deposit spirit stones into Immortal Net Cloud Flash Pay.
Now on the third day.
Since spirit stones need to be deposited for a full day to earn interest, today, cultivators in Great Yan Province received their first interest.
