BXBX NOVEL Chapter 636: Bidding
Chapter 636: Bidding
In the League Store, various products were available, from Pokéblocks, held items, incense, evolution stones, attribute gems, and more. If you had Merit Points, there was nothing you couldn\'t purchase (a bit exaggerated).
The business that Phoebe introduced to Yuga this time was supplying the League Store, becoming one of the League\'s partner merchants.
Except for monopolized items like attribute gems, many of the products in the League Store weren\'t produced by the League itself; they came from League partner businesses, including Pokéblocks and incense.
However, the League had high standards for such partner businesses. The quality of their products not only had to be top-tier in the market but also required a recommendation from someone within the League.
Now it was time for the League Store to issue an external bidding, and to repay Yuga for saving her, Phoebe used her authority to recommend YoYo Day Care to the League.
Yuga had a clean background, was one of the Gym Leaders in the League, and had repeatedly contributed to the League. Now, with the recommendation of Phoebe, a person of real influence, YoYo Day Care easily passed the screening and gained the qualification to participate in the bidding.
However, this was only the qualification to participate in the bidding. Whether YoYo Day Care\'s products could win the League\'s favor depended on their own efforts.
Yet Yuga had always been confident in his own products. He didn\'t believe that his merchandise would lose to others, whether it was Pokéblocks or incense.
Obtaining this bidding opportunity made Yuga very happy.
As long as the bidding succeeded, it meant that through this League-backed platform, YoYo Day Care\'s products could truly reach the entire Pokémon world.
It had to be said, Phoebe was really coming through.
However, Phoebe\'s willingness to recommend Yuga wasn\'t solely because of his life-saving favor. The products from YoYo Day Care were genuinely good.
When Phoebe left Verdanturf Town, as a token of gratitude to her savior, she purchased many Pokéblocks and incense from YoYo Day Care.
YoYo Day Care didn\'t have Ghost-type Pokéblocks, which Phoebe herself didn\'t need, so she gifted the Pokéblocks she bought as presents to others.
In her view, YoYo Day Care was just a small shop, and she only bought things there out of courtesy to Yuga.
However, she didn\'t expect that after her friends used those Pokéblocks, they all inquired where she had purchased them.
Phoebe truly didn\'t anticipate that YoYo Day Care, this seemingly inconspicuous shop, actually had high quality products. This realization prompted her to try the remaining incense that she hadn\'t given away.
The results once again surprised her; the incense had remarkable effects.
This made her understand that, like Yuga, YoYo Day Care itself was a hidden gem.
It was precisely because of this that the recommendation from her to Yuga and YoYo Day Care happened.
Phoebe wasn\'t responsible for the review of the bidding products herself. If YoYo Day Care\'s product quality didn\'t meet the mark, her recommendation would ultimately be in vain.
However, after using YoYo Day Care\'s products, she had great confidence in both YoYo Day Care and Yuga.
After ending the call with Yuga, Phoebe sent him the registration form and instructions for League Store partner merchants.
The registration form was quite simple, requiring only basic information such as the business name, owner, products participating in the bidding, and the recommender.
Thanks to Phoebe\'s earlier recommendation, the League had already registered YoYo Day Care\'s information. Now, submitting the registration form was merely a formality to confirm whether the business would participate in the final bidding.
YoYo Day Care would be bidding with two products: Pokéblocks and incense.
However, in the end, Yuga thought about it and added Razor Fangs to the list. Regardless of whether it would be successful or not, participating wouldn\'t hurt.
Originally, Yuga wanted to include Fire Stones with the Razor Fangs, but he decided against it. There was no way to explain their source.
The Fire Stones extracted from the Volcano Sub-Ecopark had already accumulated quite a lot. They would probably be sufficient for sale as products. However, once such a large quantity of Fire Stones entered the market, Yuga couldn\'t explain their origin.
He couldn\'t just tell people that he had a rich Fire Stone vein. That would be a disaster waiting to happen.
The bidding for the League Store was still a month away from the current date. During that time, Yuga would need to take the participating products to Lilycove City for the final bidding.
If the products submitted by YoYo Day Care for bidding were chosen, then from that point forward, the quality of the goods supplied by YoYo Day Care to the League Store must not fall below the quality demonstrated during the bidding.
The League Store conducted a substantial amount of trade every year, and no single merchant could handle the entire supply. So, for each product, more than one merchant would be successful in the bidding.
Because there were many participating merchants, each League Store partner merchant bidding event turned out to be a grand affair.
Yuga and YoYo Day Care had never participated in such a grand bidding event before, so Phoebe carefully explained many things to him one by one, ensuring that Yuga wouldn\'t be left bewildered.
Becoming a partner merchant of the League Store was a great honor for all businesspeople.
This meant not only recognition of the quality of your products but also that you could use the League\'s influence to make more people aware of your products.
In business, besides the quality of your products, what was the most important thing? Naturally, it was publicity.
Even if your products were excellent, they would be useless if no one knew about them.
And the League\'s recognition was the best advertisement.
After submitting the registration form, Yuga went to inform Lain, Misaki, and Anya about this good news. Ultimately, whether YoYo Day Care\'s products would be selected depended on them.
The League Store\'s bidding event wasn\'t held every year, but only once every five years.
In other words, once you succeeded in the bidding, you gained the qualification to supply the League Store for five consecutive years.
Of course, if during this period your supplied goods were found to have decreased in quality, the League Store administrators had the authority to terminate the supply agreement immediately.
This practice might seem harsh, but it ensured the quality of goods in the League Store to the greatest extent.
Upon receiving Yuga\'s notification, Lain and Misaki were equally delighted. They pledged to Yuga that they would give their all.
If the Pokéblocks and incense they produced could be chosen as products for the League Store, it would be a great honor for them as well.
