Marvel: Wonka's Chocolate Factory

Chapter 103 Grand Opening, Products That Sell Out (Please Subscribe)

The resources controlled by the major powers in the universe are beyond the imagination of Earthlings; the gap may be even greater than the gap between the United States and African tribes.

Of course, Wakanda is an exception.

So in Willy Wonka's vision, the price of a gold coin chocolate for an ordinary Earthling in a Totland candy store remains the same as it is now, which is one dollar.

The "coating" service will inevitably create a large number of gold coin chocolate buyers and sellers, who may be governments or large corporations.

They will pay a high premium to buy the chocolate coins from ordinary people. In this way, Willy Wonka himself becomes the one distributing welfare, and the welfare brought by the chocolate coins can circulate through layers of people, all the way to the poorest people on Earth.

The Totland Group plays a significant role in this, especially in the strict scrutiny of the purchase of gold coin chocolates.

Furthermore, it is necessary to ensure public order, otherwise some "active gangs" will force ordinary people to sell the gold coin chocolates they hold at extremely low prices.

This entire process allows people from all walks of life on Earth to profit. The benefits to the common people are self-evident, and the various rentier classes also reap considerable profits.

They will acquire a considerable amount of cocoa coins at extremely low cost, thus possessing a certain purchasing power at the cosmic level.

This process has one prerequisite: that the Tottoland Group can successfully convert Cocoacoin into cosmic currency.

Now, Willy Wonka's first step is to get Cocoacoin circulating in Asgard.

Willy Wonka shared his ideas with Alex without reservation.

Alex was also greatly shocked by Willy Wonka's words. Was this still a big capitalist? How did he end up doing charity!

"Mr. Willy Wonka, what are the costs of producing your coin-shaped chocolates and coating them?"

Willy Wonka gave him a meaningful look. "Alex, my cost is practically zero."

So Alex remained silent. The fact that Willy Wonka could say such a thing shows that the cost was really, really low.

In Willy Wonka's entire scheme, the biggest winner is not Earth, nor the cosmic forces that trade with the Totto Land Group, but Willy Wonka himself.

You think I'm doing charity? You might make a profit, but I'll never lose.

Once Cocoacoin is accepted by the universe and becomes a currency that the vast majority of forces in the universe can accept, then it will be time for Willy Wonka to reap the rewards.

Willy Wonka could already imagine the chocolate factory turning into a money printing plant.

"Mr. Willy Wonka? Are you—alright?"

Alex's words interrupted Willy Wonka's reverie, pulling him back to reality from his beautiful daydreams.

"Should we set up a location in the store specifically for exchanging Cocoa Coins and Asgardian Gold?"

"Alex, your reminder is very timely. We definitely should designate a specific spot. Otherwise, things will be chaotic on opening day."

While the Tottoland candy store was busily preparing for its opening, the Asgardian army that had been on a campaign to Jotunheim had already returned.

Willy Wonka had already handed over the 20,000 barrels of wine he brought to Odin. He declined Odin's invitation to the banquet and instead stayed in the shop with Alex to check for any remaining stock.

"Mr. Willy Wonka, I've heard some things while I was in Asgard. They call Earth Midgard and say it's one of the Nine Realms."

"Um—Asgard is the ruler of the Nine Realms, so does that mean Asgard is the master of Earth?"

Alex asked in a low voice, not believing the news at all, because he had lived on Earth for so many years and had never heard of anything about Asgard.

Then he was suddenly told that there was an old man on Earth. How could he accept that?

This is a fact, and Willy Wonka would not distort the truth to comfort his subordinates.

"Alex, it is a fact that Asgard does have a claim to sovereignty over Earth. Throughout its long history, Earth has not suffered from external invasions, which is indeed due to the protection of Asgard."

"But I have come, Alex, and you can see Odin's attitude towards me. Asgard's rule over Earth ended long ago; now it is merely a nominal claim."

"Earth cannot speak to Asgard on equal terms, but the Totto Land Corporation can. Your ability to be a store manager on Asgardian soil is proof of that."

Alex thought about it and agreed. From any perspective, Mr. Willy Wonka and Odin were on the same level.

Moreover, Alex had been involved in the store's renovation from the very beginning. The respect the other Asgardians held for him was genuine.

Earth is nominally Asgardian territory, and Odin, the god-king of Asgard, is on the same level as Mr. Willy Wonka. Asgard is equivalent to the Totto Land group.

After listening to Willy Wonka's words, Alex came to the conclusion that the Totto Land Corporation was larger than the Earth.

After reaching this conclusion, Alex's previously hunched back straightened instantly.

A few words dispelled my inferiority complex; I realized I'm a superior person after all!

Willy Wonka looked at the radiant Alex and almost laughed. He hadn't expected that the mental victory strategy would work everywhere.

However, as long as Alex can work hard for him, and as long as it generates profits, he can also take responsibility for the physical and mental health of his employees.

The grand and lavish triumphant banquet came to an end, and the entire Asgard seemed to be put on pause. The clamor that had been building up since the war was abruptly stopped, and everyone returned to their peaceful lives.

In this atmosphere, three days after the banquet ended, a shop that seemed rather strange to the Asgardians opened.

"Mom, is Totland a kind of cake? I've never had it before."

"It's probably not a type of cake; Tottoland seems to be the name of the shop."

A wooden signboard with the store name in large gilded letters: Totland Candy Direct Store.

At first, it was mostly Asgardian children who were attracted to it. Even if they didn't know what Tottoland was, they could still understand the word "candy".

So the children pestered their parents to let them into the newly opened store.

"Your Highness Thor!"

Upon entering the store, the mother with her child was startled to discover that the prince of Asgard was also shopping there, so she hurriedly bowed.

Thor chuckled and handed the child a small cake. "Here you go, kid, this is on me."

After saying that, Thor placed the small cakes and a bunch of snacks on the counter.

The cashier casually picked up Thor's things: "One strawberry cake, five thunder chocolates, five cloud-top cotton candies, and ten silky milk chocolates."

Then the cashier took out a receipt from a pile of snacks, glanced at it with some surprise, but seeing that Saul did not react, she read out the amount as usual.

"In addition, there are one hundred large barrels of Clear Spring Wine. Your Highness, that's a total of five hundred and twenty-one cocoa coins."

"Large barrels of Qingquan liquor can be picked up at the adjacent warehouse with the purchase receipt. Home delivery service is available if needed."

Thor paid readily, having exchanged tens of thousands of Totland Cocoa Coins with Asgardian gold coins upon entering the store. Therefore, he felt no pain at the cost, instead having the illusion that the store's goods were all quite cheap.

The little boy took the cake from Saul, politely thanked him, and then eagerly opened the packaging and started eating.

The strawberry burst in his mouth, making him feel that it was the most unusual strawberry cake he had ever eaten.

The most popular items in the candy store were not candies, cakes, or chocolates, but rather the alcoholic beverages stored in the adjacent warehouse.

On the opening day of the Totland Candy flagship store, all 35,000 barrels of wine prepared in advance were sold out.

Saul couldn't wait to open a barrel at the warehouse entrance, took out a wine glass, scooped out a glass, and began to taste it.

He thought the wine was absolutely amazing, and he didn't get enough of it at the banquet, so he couldn't wait to buy a hundred barrels on the opening day.

Even Loki, who had been in a bad mood since the end of the war, went to the store and bought fifty barrels of wine. The two brothers then drank together at the warehouse entrance.
