Chapter 22 XIIII Seats of Affiliated Chambers of Commerce
Wulian City, the reception room on the fifth floor of the central tower. The affiliated chamber of commerce of the Xijia District Branch of the Magicians Association, with fourteen magicians with decision-making voting rights, gathered here. Except for the president sitting at the main seat, the rest
People sit on both sides of the long table.
Among the fourteen people, the person who serves as the president of the district branch will also serve as the chairman of the chamber of commerce. At the same time, the owners of the four towers in the east, west, south and north will also have seats. In addition, there are five people recommended by the founding family.
The Chamber of Commerce was not established from scratch. Instead, there were five families - some of them were nobles, some were magic families, and some were business families - because the children of the families belonged to the upper echelons of the regional branch, they united to establish a Chamber of Commerce.
Under the district association.
For a chamber of commerce established with these five families as its backbone, it is difficult to bypass the opinions of the five families in decision-making. Therefore, they use the children of the magician family as members of the decision-making seat to represent the opinions of the family.
If in the contemporary era, there is no one with enough status in the family to become a magician, they still have a recommendation quota, and magicians who are good friends with their family can represent them in the decision-making circle of the chamber of commerce.
Hydra Kunich is the representative of the Kunich family, sitting on one side of the long table.
The remaining four people, in the initial establishment stage, were led by the four most high-end military personnel of the contemporary Xijia District Chapter. Since such people are required to serve as the gold medal thugs of the Chamber of Commerce, it is impossible not to share some profits, so they will
Have a seat in the decision-making circle and share the profits.
After that, these four places have been reserved, either by predecessors recommending successors, or by everyone's recommendation of powerful magicians. Of course, if the Chamber of Commerce encounters troubles in its operation, it must be solved by force.
At that time, these four people had to play the vanguard. As the inspector, the great magician Greenwin had such a position. This was one of the reasons why he was able to promote the forum system to the entire district club in a short period of time.
Now they put aside the matters at hand and came to the fifth floor of the middle tower together, of course for the mall system proposed by Lin. However, the president did not pass on the explanation document that came with the system magic stone to everyone. Mainly
The viewing speed was too slow, and the content was too much. So Chengguo Eton handed over to his chief student who was standing aside.
Under the attention of everyone, he operated the forum terminal connected to the energy pool on the fifth floor of the central tower. He placed the book in the magic circle next to the keyboard. As the pages were turned, the text on the book was also simultaneously recorded into new articles on the forum.
page.
Yes, although computer development in the world of Lost World is still very primitive in Lin's eyes, the excellence of input methods far exceeds those on Earth. In addition to the most basic keyboard input, there are also voice input, handwriting input and scanning.
Input, the reliability is nearly 100%. You will make mistakes, either by pronouncing the words wrongly or by writing the wrong words on the paper.
The biggest reason why it is so outstanding is that a certain senior magician who loves sound and light effects created the idea of using sound to turn into magic words in mid-air, and the incantation or magic circle written on ordinary paper can also turn into magic words in the air.
The method of magic words.
The original intention was to use this method to complete the complex spell casting process without relying on the energy pool of the magic tower. But in fact, when casting spells outside, if you are in a state of combat, a spell must be completed before it is completed.
Cast another spell first. If the opponent is a master of the same level as yourself, the time wasted is enough for the opponent to kill you to a pulp; if the opponent is weaker than you, there is no need for such a complicated method, there will be simpler methods.
Method to kill the opponent.
Therefore, these two magic spells, which have been passed down and are called 'Meer Phonetic Word Art' and 'Meer Magic Word Art', have long been ranked among the top ten useless magics in the association, and this is true for all regional branches.
Until Lin designed an alien version of the computer system and incorporated these two magics into the basic input methods. Many old magicians who were older and were not used to keyboard input were concerned about the two sets of Mir's that had been disliked for hundreds of years.
Magic, uncharacteristically, has become extremely respected.
However, this aspect is a plug-in function. If you want to use it, you have to purchase the relevant knowledge from the association and then install it into the browser system according to the instructions. The consequences of infringement are very serious, especially now that Mir Magician is so dead that his bones can play drums.
, the rights to this magic belong to the association. Violating the interests of the association is no different than seeking death.
The ease of input is also a major reason why the forum is so popular. In addition to the convenience of information exchange from various places, the digitization of large amounts of text data through scanning speeds up the spread of knowledge and reduces costs.
And now, everyone is waiting for the process of digitizing the instruction document. The reason why it was not done before but had to be done in front of everyone is to prove that every word was scanned from the document without any modifications.
The chief student of Chengguo Eton also published the data in the private discussion section of the Chamber of Commerce’s decision-making circle after scanning a chapter. The rest of the people also stared at their own forum screens, looking at this information from the great sage.
Tower documentation.
Quick reading and quick understanding have become the instinct of almost every person who has the qualification of a great magician. With the published chapter content, everyone also has a preliminary concept of this mall system. Because in the description document, Lin also has every
Give a simple explanation of the reasons and ideas behind a design. Of course, whether others can understand or not is not within his scope of consideration.
Originally, the reception room was quiet, except for one or two great magicians with poor habits who would bang their hands on the table and make some noise when they were thinking. Gradually, some people began to discuss with the people around them, and then participated in the discussion.
The more people there were, the reception room turned into three or four small groups discussing the mall system.
Generally speaking, everyone agreed to use the mall system. However, the distribution of orders has become the focus of debate.
The main target served by the affiliated chamber of commerce is the magicians scattered throughout Xijia District. In the form of opening a store, stocking goods in various stores and then selling them, it is very expensive in terms of cost and turnover rate, and there is no profit at all.
.Besides, if you open a store outside the district branch headquarters, you will inevitably have to pay taxes to the local lord, resulting in additional expenses.
Secondly, the tower owners will not deliberately go to towns with stores just to buy something. If they are lucky, they can bring the goods back; if they are not lucky, they will have to wait for door-to-door delivery. Therefore, the main business model of the chamber of commerce is still
Chamber of Commerce managers travel frequently to various places, make door-to-door inquiries and decide on orders, and then return to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters to dispatch the goods.
Therefore, it is not surprising that a transaction takes up to half a year. Fortunately, the pace of life in the Lost World is slow, and when it comes to buying and selling some unconventional special products, no one will be in a hurry to place an order today and have to collect it tomorrow.
level of goods.
In the original face-to-face transaction type, the order was in the hands of the person who came forward to contact, and the pricing power was the same, and commissions and profits were generated. However, when the transaction is replaced by a virtual platform interface, problems will arise.
Although Lin's order system has a column for designated business personnel, allowing the system to know to whom the order is to be forwarded, so that someone can report the order content and price to the customer who placed the order.
If a certain manager's price is particularly affordable, once it spreads on the forum, it will inevitably create a few star businesses. The transaction volume in the entire Xijia District is so large, and the pie is so big, if a certain manager
A few people grabbed the lion's share, and the rest could only pick up some scattered small profits. This would be damning if it didn't make people hate it.
But what if there is no salesperson field? Considering that most magicians don’t care who they buy from, so even if there is a salesperson field, they may fill it in randomly. So if there is no salesperson option, the order will be
It will be concentrated at the Chamber of Commerce headquarters. But someone still needs to quote, so it must be allocated again. But how to allocate this part, Lin is helpless.
It's just that there is no business option, which is disadvantageous for some chamber of commerce managers who have loyal customers and travel frequently to various places. Because of the allocation method, the original customers may be assigned to other people for various reasons.
Therefore, both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. For representatives of the family faction, they have many people and have a keener sense of business behavior. Naturally, they hope to operate in the first form, so that they can more easily seize more
Benefits. But for the representatives of the martial arts faction and the tower owner, if it is distributed by the chamber of commerce, it may be possible to dig out a relatively large profit margin.
This discussion cannot be resolved in a short while. Some magicians even call their right-hand assistants and let those who know better about business management give them advice.
On the contrary, the president, Chengguo Eaton, listened calmly to everyone's arguments without intervening. Most of the benefits of the chamber of commerce will be subsidized to the regional chapters, that is, through his hands as the president. How much you want to withhold, it is up to you.
It depends on his conscience. Therefore, the president's position is not involved in the actual operation, but mostly serves as the internal arbitration responsibility of the chamber of commerce.
While thinking about the pros and cons of the two options, Chengguo Eaton immediately noticed the two young apprentices from the Tower of the Great Sage, standing quietly aside, not daring to move.
He summoned two girls and asked, "Our main purpose this time is to conduct the apprenticeship assessment."
"Yes, Mr. President."
"Is there any notification?"
There is no fixed time for the apprenticeship assessment. Instead, those who participate in the assessment are expected to take the initiative to apply. The association will then look at the magicians with inspector qualifications who are free to conduct the assessment. Generally speaking, there will be one per month. The association
Apprentices who have recently applied will also be gathered together and arranged according to the time of the Inspector Magician.
As early as last month, the Chamber of Commerce's horse and carriage team had been commissioned to apply for Halumi and Kaya's apprenticeship assessment. After the girl explained, she said: "The only thing left is to report to the West Tower and confirm the date."
The powers and responsibilities of Wulian City are divided. The East Tower manages general affairs and the Chamber of Commerce, the West Tower manages apprentices, the South Tower collects and manages magic knowledge, and the North Tower handles magician business, including dispatch work. Inspectors, inspectors and great magicians
If there are matters that cannot be handled by the other four towers, the middle tower will be responsible for them.
Knowing the arrangements of the girls, Chengguo Eaton nodded and asked again: "Are they leaving after the assessment?"
"The teacher has told us to purchase some things from the Chamber of Commerce. But we still have to see how much remuneration we can get from the association before we can decide on the items we need. When everything is almost complete, we will return with the transport team.
"
"That's fine." Chengguo Yidun looked at the people who were still arguing and said, "It seems that the discussion here will not come to a result so quickly. Maybe there are some things that need to be exchanged with your teacher. And the reward is
For the part, I will also ask people to settle the accounts and deliver them to you as soon as possible. Then I will say hello to the Chamber of Commerce and tell them what you want to buy. But since we have nothing to do for the time being, we will go down and rest first.
.I remember that the apprenticeship assessment will also take place within the next few days. Let’s prepare well and don’t worry about other things.”
The two girls obediently bowed at the same time and said, "Yes, thank you, President."
