After returning to Mystic Arts Country, Ajie reported the situation to the chamber of commerce and handed the Bird Claw Fruit he had transported back to the warehouse keeper, letting it be distributed through the chamber's channels.
This was also one of the features of the chamber of commerce system. The chamber's merchants were free to travel and trade, but they had to pay the chamber a cut as a management fee, divided into several tiers between 1% and 10% according to the different categories of goods.
Bird Claw Fruit was at the peak: 10%.
Ajie had tried going it alone before, and the results had been terrible.
Fruit had a high spoilage rate, and Bird Claw Fruit was even worse. It was hard to sell it to suitable buyers while keeping it fresh. If things dragged on for a few days, Bird Claw Fruit would rot and turn sour, making it worthless.
Handing it over to the chamber of commerce was steadier and more reassuring.
The chamber had fully equipped icehouses, distribution channels, and goods management procedures. It could find buyers as quickly as possible and sell through advance payments, ensuring the money reached the seller's hands.
In Mystic Arts Country, it had already become common for individual merchants to join the chamber of commerce. This chamber model borrowed from the Yao Tribe's Supernatural Worker Association and Twin Snake Country's Republic Merchant Management System, then was modified according to Mystic Arts Country's special national conditions.
As soon as Ajie received the first down payment from the chamber of commerce, he immediately began buying grain.
Grain prices in Mystic Arts Country were not low. If he wanted cheaper grain, he had to go to Resurrection Kingdom, but they sold in limited quantities there to curb reselling and price gouging.
