(Thanks to the readers for their rude comments ^_^, with aerospace aircraft carriers, aircraft carriers are still needed. The maintenance cost of aircraft is very expensive and extremely complicated. And the transportation volume, etc., is far less than that of surface ships.)
After Hua Baixiang returned, she informed all parties about the news she had received from Zhang Hao.
Of course, this is not free, you need to owe favors. And in many cases, favors are a very expensive thing.
In addition, Hua Baixiang is not a coquettish girl, and she also 'helped' make Zhang Hao's breakthrough into the law public.
Then Hua Baixiang returned to the Tiandu faction in person, preparing to discuss the purchase of an aircraft carrier - aerospace aircraft carriers were not considered. The cost of a propeller aircraft was so high, and now that there are Dharma masters, the importance of aerospace aircraft carriers has dropped a lot.
The news spread, and the entire known world was once again excited - the aerospace aircraft carrier, fighter jets, etc. were actually for sale. That was really great. But the price... was there an extra zero?
A few more days passed in the chaos, and the 'remnants' of the seven major families who escaped seemed to have disappeared. But maybe the time was short, and they were still planning.
And today, during this golden period of the Mid-Autumn Festival, another meeting was held here at Dayang Group.
This meeting is also not limited to strategic alliances, strategic alliances, the Ming Dynasty, but also includes other continents, etc.
What we want to discuss today is the Mercenary Guild.
Compared with the previous Dharma exchange meeting, the mercenary guild discussion was even larger in scale. There were more than 20,000 participants, and many large business groups, sects, etc. participated.
The location is set up in an open square in the suburbs - in fact, this is an airport being built by Dayang Group, a civil airport. However, it has not been disclosed to the outside world for the time being.
Because it was an open-air square and a conference, there were many spectators around; and the relevant information had been published in newspapers before, so there were tens of thousands of spectators around.
I don’t know how many people are paying keen attention to the upcoming mercenary union, and are even wary of it.
There have been mercenaries in this world for a long time. But there has never been a real guild, or a similar form of federation. The main reason is that the world before was very chaotic, and the communication was not smooth at that time, so it seemed that there was not much need.
Things are different now. Although there are still wars in the world, order has initially emerged. Exchanges between places are frequent, business is prosperous, and there are many wars. In addition, a large number of golden-body realm god-level masters are plundering everywhere. The world's demand for mercenaries is growing rapidly.
.
A unified mercenary guild is very necessary!
Zhang Hao stood on the podium, with the help of Dharma Realm, his voice was so loud that the surrounding audience could hear it clearly.
"I'm glad to have the opportunity to discuss the issue of mercenary guilds with everyone.
In fact, there have been cooperative organizations such as mercenary alliances a long time ago. However, due to various reasons, most of these cooperative organizations are regional and very unstable.
Today, society is developing rapidly. With the full expansion of commerce, the strengthening of exchanges between the East and the West, and the convenience of information exchange, society's demand for mercenaries has increased rapidly."
"With the development and advancement of technology, today's world is getting smaller and smaller.
In the past, only a few masters could do it from the west to the east of the Fertile Continent; most ordinary caravans did not even have such an idea.
But now, by taking the train, you can travel in all directions, southeast, northwest, and non-stop.
In the past, there were only a few large merchant ships on the sea traveling between the East and the West. One voyage took half a year, and the risks were unpredictable. The open sea and many dangerous sea areas forced us to sail offshore.
But now, we can travel across the ocean unimpeded. With navigation as a link, we have connected the entire known world. Today's known world includes the Candle Dragon Continent.
The world is becoming more and more connected. This is a good thing.
But because there is more communication, conflicts are inevitable. As communication increases, conflicts are also increasing rapidly.
Especially the recent frequent incidents of plundering by groups in the Golden Body Realm have posed a huge challenge to the development of civilization."
"We need a mechanism and a method to contain chaos and conflict, and to safeguard the development of civilization throughout the known world.
I have thought about it for a long time and believe that if we want to protect and escort the entire known world, we need to rely on the joint efforts of all those who yearn for civilization and order in the entire known world.
We need a platform, an intermediary,
The entire platform can bring together all the forces; yet it can ensure fairness, freedom, equality, morality as the standard, and the promotion of civilization development as the core.
The most important thing is to ensure the freedom and convenience of communication.
After consideration, I chose mercenaries."
"Mercenaries, mercenaries of the past had many beautiful elements.
First, equal opportunities. No matter what level of cultivation or ability, everyone can choose to become a mercenary, and there is no threshold.
Second, freedom. The mercenary profession is probably the most free of all professions. Therefore, the mercenary industry embraces all rivers and has become an important part of the civilization and society of the known world.
Third, mercenaries can protect the weak. Mercenaries with high moral standards can make a huge promise.
Fourth, extensiveness. Whether it is a holy land, country, sect, family, or business group, they can organize mercenaries and form a huge mercenary network covering the world.
Of course, mercenaries in the past also had many problems. I won’t go into detail here.”
"Today, my preliminary vision is to work together with everyone to prepare a mercenary guild that will cover the entire known world. It will be a pan-world organization and will become the most important component of the communication system of the known world.
one.
Of course, this will inevitably involve various problems, but I believe that no matter what kind of problems there are, they cannot stop our yearning for a better life and our tireless pursuit of a few steps toward civilization!"
Zhang Hao's speech received warm applause. The palms of the audience around him became red.
In recent years, with the expansion of business and the strengthening of connections in the known world, too many problems have begun to be exposed.
As Zhang Hao said, the more communication, the more conflicts; the wider the communication, the more intense the conflicts!
In particular, thieves of all kinds, etc., are growing rapidly. They have become a huge cancer in the development of society and civilization.
Some people, mainly mercenaries, have called for the establishment of a joint organization before, but not everyone will be qualified and capable.
Therefore, Zhang Hao's speech immediately touched the hearts of many mercenaries, as well as the support of a large number of small and medium-sized caravans.
After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he went down. Of course, the meeting will continue. Next, Fu Yun will participate in the discussion of the Mercenary Guild on behalf of Dayang Group.
Since Fu Yun is to be promoted as the leader of the mercenary guild, of course he must show up at this time and participate in the discussion publicly.
Fu Yun read out Dayang Group's conception and plan for the mercenary guild on the podium. Of course, this is just a first draft, a draft, just a starting point.
The plan mainly focuses on four directions:
First, the structure: formulate the laws and regulations of the mercenary guild, improve assessment, rewards and punishments, pensions, as well as the task system, practice and cultural exchange system, etc.
Second, communication: establish and improve a sound communication and communication system and capital circulation system; especially the capital circulation system. Fu Yun proposed Dayang Group's "Green Boat Bank" as a good choice and reference.
Third, members and management: All countries and holy places participate together. The mercenary guild branches in each region are responsible for the local affairs, but they are subject to the supervision of the entire mercenary guild and are not allowed to hide their secrets.
Fourth: Travel: exchanges of mercenaries between countries and regions, visas between countries and holy places, etc. It can be foreseen that in the future, mercenaries will have to travel across several countries or regions in one mission, and the complex situation of visas will directly
Affects the healthy development of mercenary guilds.
It took Fu Yun more than an hour to explain the preliminary plan of Dayang Group. Although it was a preliminary plan, it was complete enough. However, there were still many places that were not perfect - in these places, Dayang Group was always the leader.
core.
Everyone immediately started discussing, or perhaps arguing would be more appropriate.
If a mercenary guild wants to be established and run well, it is inevitable to contact all parties. Regardless of whether they were enemies before, they must win over and cooperate.
The number of questions is dazzling, dumbfounding, and jaw-dropping.
So many of them need to be coordinated by Dayang Group.
Some people raised the issue of espionage, some raised the issue of using mercenaries for sneak attacks, some raised the issue of using mercenaries to cover up the military, and some raised the issue of the laws and regulations of different countries and regions.
Also, resource prices are different in different regions, and mercenary guilds will inevitably break this difference, causing damage to the interests of many countries and other countries.
There are also issues related to the management of mercenaries, and what laws and regulations should be used to deal with mistakes.
Reasonable, unreasonable, selfish, fair and just, ridiculous, etc., all kinds of strange questions made Zhang Hao feel very dizzy.
I know it's not easy to build a global organization, but there were so many problems on the first day, which was far beyond Zhang Hao's expectation.
Sometimes when he heard some questions, Zhang Hao wanted to go up and push that bastard to the ground and give him a good rub.
For example, in the Ocean Group's mercenary guild plan, three points were not mentioned: funds, land, and taxation.
As a result, someone proposed: Since the mercenary guild was proposed by Dayang Group, the construction funds should be provided by Dayang Group.
"Is your head full of sesame paste?" Zhang Hao rolled his eyes angrily. It is because there are so many such bastards that the development of society is difficult.
Zhang Hao's Dharma-level spiritual consciousness locked onto the target, but found that this guy turned out to be a puppet of the Ming Dynasty.
"You can't be honest even after being beaten once. Do you need to beat me a few more times?"
Fortunately, there are very few people who are so brainless.
This time, the mercenary guild's discussion lasted until early September, more than twenty days before finally reaching an agreement.
The most controversial issue is the land where the mercenary guild headquarters is located.
The headquarters of the mercenary guild is close to me, which will definitely have benefits. At least it will be easier to control; but it may also bring danger.
Some people are worried that such a mercenary guild will eventually come to the fore.
In addition, there is the financial problem. Although the Green Boat Bank of Dayang Group is good, it is impossible for everyone to just watch Green Boat Bank make money. After so many years, everyone has a very deep understanding of Green Boat Bank.
There is also taxation. In the future, the mercenary guild will definitely be a place where wealth circulates, and taxation cannot be let go!
Finally all the problems were solved.
In total, it only took 23 days.
In fact, this efficiency is already very high. It only took more than 20 days to finalize a pan-world organization, and it couldn't be faster.
Because of this mercenary guild, Comrade Fu Yun didn't sleep for more than twenty days.
But it does show everyone’s desire for order.
A chaotic world is not conducive to spiritual practice. Only communication can promote progress. The two Dharma exchange meetings organized by Dayang Group are the best proof.
However, there are still many detailed issues that will be dealt with later.
In the 14th year of the Tianyuan era, on September 8, the Mercenary Guild was officially established.
The headquarters is located on Sanxian Island - this land has no disputes and is far away from the mainland. Even if the mercenary guild wants to cause trouble in the future, it will not have enough land.
The total land area of the entire Sanxian Island (excluding small islands) is approximately 120,000 square kilometers. Previously, the destruction of Fuguanghai City also took away more than a thousand square kilometers of islands.
Of the total area of 120,000 square kilometers, half are various holy lands, mainly Fertile Continent and Taotu Continent, as well as the occupied areas of West Kunlun, including those of Dayang Group and Qixia Kingdom.
The area that truly belongs to the mercenary guild is less than 60,000 square kilometers.
Surrounded by all parties and with poor maritime resources, the mercenary guild does not have the conditions to develop at all. Even if it imitates the Ocean Group, it will not work.
The core city of the Mercenary Guild is located in the northern section of Danxia Island. It is named "Baiyun City", which means freedom and purity.
Baiyun City is still under planning, and there is only a hill there for now.
The management of the Mercenary Guild draws on the nature of the shareholders and board of directors of the Ocean Group.
Everyone obtains management rights and shares through donations.
The total value of the donations this time includes but is not limited to spiritual stones, spiritual materials, elixirs, magic weapons, arms, land, etc., with a total value of 400 billion high-grade spiritual stones - this is wealth from the entire known world!
With a total investment of 20 billion high-grade spiritual stones (including various materials, arms, etc.), Dayang Group obtained the first shareholder and controlled 5% of the rights of the mercenary guild.
As the representative of Dayang Group, Fu Yun assumed management and was awarded the position of chairman.
In addition, the Ming Dynasty invested 16 billion (including spiritual stones, elixirs, spiritual materials, medicinal materials, magic weapons, land, etc.) to become the second shareholder and control 4% of the rights of the mercenary guild.
Prince Zhu Kang, as the representative of the Ming Dynasty, assumed the management position and was awarded the position of vice chairman.
Since then, investment has dropped sharply. The third shareholder is the Kingdom of Qixia, with a total investment of 4 billion high-grade spiritual stones and 1% equity.
Then there is West Kunlun, with a total investment of 3.6 billion; Mingjiao 3.2 billion, Tiandu sect 3 billion...
We not only have to pay wealth and provide experts to sit in charge. The newly established mercenary guild will inevitably have provocations, etc. At this time, it needs to be suppressed.
The master of the Dayang Group is Fu Yun himself. The Ming Dynasty also provided a Dharma master. The rest began to be secretive and only provided the gods.
Then there is the 'direct manager' of the mercenary guild, who is called the general manager in business and the 'president' here, who is selected after discussion by the board of directors.
Due to the wrangling and distrust among all parties, Miao Hongyun, a master and general of Dayang Group, became the first president.
The term of the president is three years; he shall be re-elected after three years.
In the initial construction stage of the mercenary guild, it is still necessary to rely on the strength and management concepts of Dayang Group.
There is also the financial system of the mercenary guild. After repeated consideration, it had to be introduced to Green Boat Bank. But it was only introduced. Green Boat Bank assisted in building the financial system of the mercenary guild. In the end, Green Boat Bank had to get out.
But after all, it was Luzhou Bank that assisted in the construction, and it will not be able to get rid of the shadow of Luzhou Bank in the future.
Then there is taxation. Mercenary guilds are located in various branches in various places, and are assisted by local governments. The local government can get 50% of the net profit. However, it needs to be supervised by the entire mercenary guild.
But if you get something, you have to pay. Once there is a problem with the local mercenary guild branch, and it is determined after review that it is caused by the local government, all losses will be paid by the local government. Otherwise, the entire mercenary guild will come to reason with you.
'.
The mercenary guild is basically set.
Then, the Mercenary Guild issued its first mission: offering a reward for the remaining members of the seven major families!
The reward is very generous. The total reward for the remaining members of the seven major families is as high as a terrifying 1.5 billion high-grade spiritual stones!
