Chapter 3016 You come and I go, different divisions
Regarding the revenue sharing of the public computing power pool, there has actually been discussion since the computing power pool was put into official operation.
However, due to the computing power pool itself and some matters in Netheril, Shado was unable to devote all his experience to sharing negotiations, so the negotiation process was intermittent.
Recently, due to the gratifying results of the exploration of the new dimension, Shado has been slightly neglected by the Alliance. No, within a few days, Tirion and the others couldn't help but urge him.
…
It’s the same familiar conference room, and the same five familiar faces.
As soon as Xia Duo sat down, Erlan's representative Osmantus couldn't wait to ask, "Consultant Xia Duo, the public computing power pool has been operating for some time. Isn't such a long time enough to estimate future income?"
"Of course it's enough."
On this issue, Xia Duo did not hide it. In fact, he could not hide it. The financial personnel of Lingsi Network Research Center came from various countries. Although the alliance charter had already stipulated that after joining the alliance, one should be loyal to the alliance, not the country.
But in fact, how can we completely get rid of the influence of our own country?
Especially for alliance staff from big countries, although they may not necessarily be loyal to their country in their hearts, because most of their interpersonal relationships and interests are with their country, they are actually still at the mercy of their country.
Of course, this refers to ordinary staff, such as the financial staff of Lingsi Network Research Center.
Permanent representatives of various countries to the Alliance, on the one hand, already manage the actual affairs of the alliance as leaders, but on the other hand, they are still assigned by each country.
But at their level, they already have a lot of say in their own country, and alliance affairs can actually be regarded as an extension of their power. That is to say, they are more independent than ordinary staff, and they hope that the alliance can develop and grow.
“However, I still object to the proposal of various countries to share directly from the revenue. The expected revenue of the computing power pool is indeed large, but the costs and expenditures in various aspects are also not small. If the countries directly share the revenue, aren’t countries afraid of the computing power pool?
Ending up making ends meet and not being able to survive?”
On this issue, the interests of Xia Duo and several representatives seem to be conflicting, but in fact they are consistent. Countries want to draw as much blood from the computing power pool as possible, which hurts the interests of the alliance, which also hurts the interests of several representatives.
Benefit.
Although these are the representatives of the five major countries in the alliance, they also have the identity of the leaders of the alliance. However, in the long run, any dual identities need to be transformed into a single identity.
As a representative, you cannot serve as the head of the alliance, otherwise it will easily turn the alliance into a puppet of the five major countries.
Although the influence of the five major countries on the alliance is indeed unparalleled, it is not a relationship between controllers and puppets after all. The existence of the alliance is maintained by its own charter and does not require the five countries to deliberately exert influence.
In this case, there is no need to choose the leader of the alliance only among the five countries.
Of course, that is the future. The current head of the alliance still has a dual identity, and the benefits he obtains for his country because of his status as a representative cannot exceed that obtained as the head of the alliance.
In practical terms, they will put the interests of the alliance above the interests of their own country for their own personal interests or pursuits.
Especially in the current situation, announcing the income of the computing power pool is beneficial to the country, not detrimental to the country. It is nothing more than a difference between more profit and less profit.
It's better to have less, which not only fulfills the alliance, but also fulfills their personal interests and pursuits.
So Xia Duo simply negotiated with several representatives, "Revenue sharing is absolutely impossible. If countries are unwilling to accept it, then close their domestic computing power pools and share Internet cafes! This does not require our consent, they can operate it themselves
.”
In fact, only the five major countries want a share of the revenue. It is a blessing that other small countries can have announced computing power pools to use, and they can also receive additional dividends, which is simply unimaginable!
However, in order to gain long-term support from various countries, Xia Duo still chose to let small countries share part of the computing power pool income. The number of people in a single small country is indeed not as large as that of a large country, but the total number is not a small amount and is worth the investment.
And all the investment will be doubled in the form of usage fees for the advanced functions of the computing power pool. Why not do this?
When they heard that Xia Duo said that countries that insisted on revenue sharing should close the computing power pool and divide the network, several representatives subconsciously frowned. This was because their long-term national identity came into play.
But at this time, their identities have changed. Even though they were a little unhappy, they still gave positive support. "We also think that it is not appropriate to directly share the revenue, but it is also very difficult to convince the country!"
"Yeah?"
Xia Duo from other countries is not clear about it, but Netheril and Xia Duo know it very well. Just a few days ago, during a meeting in China, Badigal casually mentioned that the computing power pool has a profit share, but he did not let him
introduce.
The other congressmen were ignorant and just mentioned that they should try their best to pass.
The revenue sharing was either determined privately by the Seven Towers, or Tirion wanted to retain more revenue in the name of the country.
The income from the computing power pool must not only be shared with each country, but also be handed over to the alliance. If the proportion of the "part" here fluctuates slightly, it will be a very considerable amount of funds.
Several major institutions under the Alliance also support a large number of field staff. Where does the money come from? Most of them come from direct allocations from various countries.
Big countries should give more, small countries should give less.
The Huifeng Mountains Resource Management Committee under the alliance will also receive a profit after producing output in the Huifeng Mountains, but it will be more of a management fee than a share.
In other words, no matter how high the output of the Huifeng Mountains is in the future, it will be difficult for management fees to achieve new breakthroughs. Even as the output of the Huifeng Mountains increases and gold and silver depreciate, the actual purchasing power of the management fees is likely to shrink significantly!
Only Lingsi Network Research Center announced that the computing power pool can stably provide a certain proportion of income. However, in the future, as gold and silver depreciate, the computing power pool charges will increase accordingly, and the share will be enough to offset the impact of gold and silver depreciation.
It can be said that the computing power pool is the only source of living water for the alliance at present, and it is also the first step for the alliance to get rid of the financial control of various countries.
"I also ask a few representatives to communicate with each country after they go back. The revenue sharing seems to be more stable, but in fact it is not conducive to the long-term. It is impossible for any reasonable and normal person to agree. I hope all countries can understand.
"As for the share handed over to the alliance, it is only 30% of the net profit at most. Any more will put the subsequent development of Lingsi Network Research Center in a dilemma. I hope all representatives can understand."
Thirty percent of the net profit is given to the alliance, which is almost Xia Duo's bottom line. In addition to the expected 50% to be given to various countries, Lingsi Network Research Center actually retains only 20%.
But this is enough.
Furthermore, net profit is a very fictitious concept. Costs must be deducted first, so what are costs? Equipment losses are costs, personnel expenses are costs, and external investments can also be costs.
Even some intangible costs that are difficult to measure can push the costs on the books to the limit.
This is also the fundamental reason why Xia Duo has repeatedly insisted on net profit sharing. If it is revenue sharing, countries will be able to maintain their incomes despite droughts and floods, but he himself will have a headache.
As for the net profit sharing, Xia Duo can be regarded as a guaranteed harvest in droughts and floods. Dividends from various countries can even be given depending on the mood. If you are in a bad mood, it is entirely possible to have a net loss every year. (End of this chapter)
