"This is what happened. President, you must believe me. I really just planned to poach someone and bring back ten or eight people."
"So you kidnapped half of the guild and came back?"
Mo Lan's eyes widened slightly and he looked at Lin Bo in disbelief.
"It's not a kidnapping, it's because they cling to me and I can't even drive them away."
Lin Bo said helplessly, with a look of despair on his face.
As long as it was just Zhao Hua and a group of elders, even if there were a group of outstanding players, Lin Fu would dare to accept it directly and recruit them during the next association recruitment exam.
But when Zhao Hua spoke, it wasn't just a few, but half of the Eternal Blazing Sun Guild and half of the people who followed Zhao Hua.
Half the people are not too many, only about 12,000 people.
"My mentality is broken."
Lin Bo said helplessly.
"Tell me, what are your specific plans."
Mo Lan looked at him funny and asked aloud, since Lin Yi found him, he must have a solution, otherwise he would have rejected it long ago. Now he is just pretending to be miserable and showing off.
"Hehe, that's what I thought, continue to do what I said at the beginning.
In a form of labor dispatch, Eternal Blazing Sun still exists. They dispatch technicians to work with us, and we pay internal points to the Eternal Dimension Guild.
This won’t have a big impact on us. At most, the president will be dispatched by labor force.”
"Well, I have no problem with this, but will Zhao Hua accept it? In his expectation, the best result is to directly merge the Eternal Blazing Sun into the Mage Association, right?
In this way, the players who follow Eternal Blazing Sun will not be treated unfairly, but they can also meet their own goals, research in a better environment and with superior resources, reproduce modern concepts, and complete the establishment of a technological system.
And if you do this, isn't it clear that he is asking him to abandon ordinary members? He probably can't do such a thing.
As far as I know, Zhao Chen should be considered a relatively pure technical staff with a relatively strong sense of responsibility."
"I must know this, otherwise how could I agree if he asked?
President, don’t be impatient, just listen to what I have to say.”
Lin Bo continued.
"I think this is a good opportunity. You know, the Eternal Blazing Sun alone has 20,000 people. The original 12,000 people split with Zhao Chen.
This is just Eternal Blazing Sun, powerful guilds like Nie Huo and God of War. Without the restrictions of nobles, which one is not recruiting people aggressively?
The largest one is Yi Fei, they always add branches, at least there are nearly 100,000 people.
And the five hundred of us are indeed elites, but no matter how powerful the elites are, they cannot defeat two hundred of them.
Even if we recruit and expand to 3,000 over time, the gap will still be too big for them.
Now we maintain a huge advantage, and the top mage elite will definitely choose our guild, but if the gap widens and our advantage is diluted by scale, then it will not necessarily be the case."
"Then are you ready to swallow the eternal blazing sun in one gulp?"
"No, it's impossible."
Lin Or remained rational and shook his head in denial.
“Our small scale also has the advantage of being small, easy to manage, united, and everyone is an elite.
There are also disadvantages to being large in scale. If you cannot manage more than 100,000 people, a branch of the General Conference cannot be considered a guild.
Therefore, we must not swallow the eternal blazing sun in one gulp, otherwise we will only become ordinary in an instant.
Therefore, we cannot swallow the Eternal Blazing Sun, we can only absorb its elites, but we really need the tens of thousands of people from the Eternal Blazing Sun.
After all, these players all have certain mechanical literacy and are very good tool makers who can use them right away.
Even if we are not on the side of power, we cannot abandon it on the side of experiments. We don’t have enough manpower and we can’t even conduct experiments on a slightly larger scale.”
"So you mean to engage in peripheral forces and accept them as affiliated guilds?
This is not feasible. Our association has still hung a neutral brand until now. This is one of the important labels for our future development. It is not easy to establish and maintain it until now, and it cannot be torn away."
Lin Bo nodded.
"I understand. I don't mean to tear off this label. I just want to say that if affiliated guilds can't do it, what about... cooperative guilds?
We hire Zhao Chen and other presidents, why can’t we also hire the twelve thousand people from Eternal Blazing Sun?”
Mo Lan pondered for a long time after hearing the words.
"Go on."
"I have two options. First, hire people when needed and let them run on their own when not needed. This is just like normal business cooperation, which can reduce our costs to the greatest extent possible, but the relationship is relatively loose.
Second, we give them the technology we have eliminated and authorize them to operate it. We supervise it and take a commission, but we will also leave them with enough theory.
It also organizes internal examinations, selects the best, and recruits elites into the association.
The relationship is so close that we can easily dominate him, but it is indeed a real cooperative relationship.
We can still maintain the association’s relatively small-scale advantage and ensure that everyone is an elite.”
Hearing this, Mo Lan tapped his fingers lightly on the table and glanced at Lin Or.
"The first one is just a matter of making up the numbers. Do you support the second one?"
"The first type also has a basis for realization."
"Make two plans and call Lu Bin and the ten elders for a meeting the day after tomorrow."
Lin Bo understood that Mo Lan agreed.
After Lin Bo left, Mo Lan once again entered the fire elemental world to hunt the lava beast. He just came out to replenish the ice element and rest for a while.
Sitting on the chariot, Mo Lan shook his head and laughed out loud.
"This Lin Or, he poached and moved the whole house over."
As the chariot was driving, a lava gap appeared in front of Mo Lan. He threw it casually, and a white light fell down.
The spell that could freeze a hundred meters only sealed twenty meters in the magma, but all the lava beasts within a range of twenty meters died.
After brewing for a moment, another spell fell, and a giant lava beast died.
The angry lava beast dived into the magma with great fury and ran away silently.
Can't afford to offend.
After the gap was sealed by ice, the chariot continued to move.
Waves of lava beasts die one after another. In the boring and repetitive process of spawning monsters, the experience points in the cartridges are getting more and more, and they are gradually approaching the promotion.
At this time, the chariot passed by a magma lake. Mo Lan had no intention of taking action and avoided it from a distance. He just used the eagle eye technique to silently watch the lake as usual.
From time to time, huge black and red rocks float and float in the calm lake. Those rocks are at least sixth-order lava monsters.
On the surface of the magma, many ordinary lava behemoths were playing, fighting, killing, and devouring each other. At this moment, Mo Lan's eyes narrowed.
