Gaven spoke candidly about the current development model of the Conqueror Guild, without any concern that Uncle Bede and others might steal it.
Because this model is built on unique monopoly products, if they want to imitate it, they must first come up with a sufficient number of unique products and be willing to share profits with those grassroots merchants.
Besides that, there is one more crucial factor: they have enough production capacity.
No matter how widespread the network becomes, if there isn't enough product to supply these franchisees, it won't be long before they leave you.
Though this development model sacrifices a significant portion of the profits, it can open up the market in the shortest possible time, and time is something Gaven lacks the most.
