Chapter 14: commission from the association
One of the responsibilities of the association is to arbitrate disputes between magicians. Even if most people choose to go private, the Association still handles a huge number of arbitration cases every year. Among them, there is nothing more than the disputes derived from the exchange.
This is not to say that there are many liars among magicians. The source of most transaction disputes comes from the cognitive gap between the parties. The seller thinks that his product is high-quality and deserves a higher value; but when the buyer sees the product, he finds that it is a sub-standard product with poor quality and various defects, which is not worth such a high value at all. Thus, disputes arise.
And as long as they enter the stage of dispute, there are very few people who can maintain rationality. Sometimes even the association that acts as an arbitrator suffers from disaster. As Chengguo Eaton, who has been in charge of the Xijia District Branch for a long time, it can be said that he has sympathy. In this case, assuming that the transaction is carried out on the forum, it seems difficult for the founder of the forum to stay out of it.
It would be okay if Gabrash Lin Tripwood was hiding in the magic tower. If he dared to step out of the tower, he would be wiped out by the angry enemies in an instant. So for Tripwood's reasons, Chengguo? Eaton had to agree even if he had no choice.
"However," the conversation changed, and it was Lin's turn to be appetizing. Of course, he didn't dare to offend the old man in front of him, so he just continued in a steady tone: "It's not that I haven't thought about using the Internet to do business. When the president asked me this question, he should have considered the association's membership." Chamber of Commerce."
Looking at the old man, he thought for a while. The transactions on the network are aimed at all users, but he will come forward because of the group of businessmen affiliated to the association, and their interests are also related to themselves and the overall development of the association. Realizing that Tripwood had drawn out the concept of the chamber of commerce, Chengguo Eaton showed a playful expression and nodded.
"It's not feasible to allow transactions that cannot guarantee the fulfillment of the contract. But if the association comes forward and establishes a forum-like store on the Internet, I think the credibility should be higher than that of the two parties who cannot trade face-to-face. It is worthy of trust. However, since this system can only be used by the association, it is not suitable for public knowledge, so in terms of remuneration..." Shi Lin rubbed his fingers.
It is normal for a magician to discuss remuneration before doing things for others. No one knows how to do white work, and the Lost World will not be embarrassed to talk about money because of the difference in status between the two parties. They can only smile and say, "Your nobles can give you whatever you want, as long as you mean it." Then when I really got the exaggeratedly small reward, I was so sour behind the scenes.
What's more, one of the responsibilities of the association is to dispatch magic manpower. Only appropriate remuneration can induce those magicians with suitable abilities to come forward to complete it. "If you have the system you mentioned, the association can provide Xbar (a horizontal bar on X) Kiel (10,000 gold). Such a reward is enough."
This is the highest task and the highest reward that the division can decide. It is also a magician of Lin's level, with an unimaginably huge amount of money. He bowed and said, "I am extremely honored by your generosity."
"So, when can I see this system?"
"I already have a plan in my heart, but it will take time to realize it. Things are not ready-made. Just next month, I have made an appointment with the Chamber of Commerce's carriage team to send my two apprentices back to the association to participate in the first round assessment. At that time, I will entrust the finished product to my apprentice and submit it together. President, do you think it is okay?"
"Oh, your apprentice is going to participate in the assessment." The old man twisted his mustache at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of light. "Understood, I will take good care of them. Then look forward to the system they submitted by then."
There seems to be some unnecessary misunderstanding... Lin was a little speechless. But on second thought, the Lost World is still a society ruled by individuals anyway, and it is better to have someone to help you than no one to help you. The assessment of the first round of the two little apprentices depends on whether the system satisfies the bosses. If the system is not done well, I don't know if the two apprentices will come back crying.
After finishing the conversation with the president, Lin took out from the storage box the magic stone of the online shopping mall system that contained the framework that had been designed long ago. The reason why it was not made public before was not only that he was not qualified to have a foot in the business, but also whether some of the designs in it should be released, which also made Lin hesitate.
After coming to the Lost World, what shocked Lin the most was not that magic existed in this world, but that mathematics did not exist in this world! Perhaps simple addition can still be understood, but multiplication, division, and even deeper knowledge have never been heard of even magicians who are at the forefront of knowledge research.
So Lin handed over the knowledge of the three systems before, and the completely open source code is not afraid of people stealing it. Because there is logic about mathematics in it, which people in the lost world cannot understand.
Similarly, in the original design of the mall system, of course there will be designs such as shopping carts and total prices. But those involve not only simple mathematical operations, but also the business operation model of this world.
When a business comes to talk about business, it depends on the conscience to quote the same product to different people in different business hands; the buyer will not only buy one or two items, when buying more things, the total price also depends on the conscience. Therefore, before the establishment of the affiliated chamber of commerce of the association, magicians were not pitted to death by those guys whose conscience was bitten by dogs.
It wasn't until the Magicians Association established a chamber of commerce and operated related transactions by themselves that the conscience of the businessmen was slightly better, and the pitfalls were not so serious. However, in addition to relying on the association, the chamber of commerce still has some big bosses behind it as backers, so it has the means and strength to do business with magicians. Otherwise, the former magicians have been tricked hard, and there are many people who temporarily change their careers to become robbers.
Therefore, under such a business model, an online shopping mall with open and transparent prices suddenly appeared. Lin always felt that this was not a promotion of social progress, but a prelude to death. One step ahead of others is a genius, many steps ahead is called a lunatic, and a lunatic should be burned at the stake. This is the truth of the lost world.
Not to mention that the barter trading method still exists in the world, and this part is difficult to measure by price. So in order not to offend the entire chamber of commerce and the big boss behind it, Lin decided to remove unnecessary designs and only keep the product list and order system. So as not to infringe on the interests of these people's conscience, and then wipe themselves out to fill the gap in conscience.
In addition, it is the optimization of the background management system. Considering that in the chamber of commerce affiliated to the Magicians Association, many of the managers are apprentices who have no hope of promotion. It is very likely that this mall system is used by these people. I'm trying to make it as simple as possible. Of course, detailed documentation is also included.
A simple and clear system can effectively reduce the trouble of after-sales service. Although in the Lost World, most of the after-sales service is just one sentence: you are not smart enough, it is not my fault.
These modifications were actually completed in one afternoon. The rest of the time is to urge the two apprentices to make final preparations before the first round of assessment. For this reason, a considerable part of the work can only be undertaken by teachers. Including hunting, adding some meat to the daily food, and suppressing the monsters and uncivilized races around the magic tower.
No way, creatures have this kind of character. When an ecological circle is out of balance, creatures from other places will settle in to restore the original balance. Unless this ecosystem is closed, or a species that has no natural enemies here suddenly comes.
Under the condition that those two conditions cannot be met, the reality is that the magic wolf that slaughtered a family today will have a magic tiger and a magic leopard to occupy the territory in a few days. After all, the lost world is still the power of nature, far exceeding the overall power of Homo sapiens. At least unlike the whales, pandas, and Tibetan antelopes on Earth, in Midi, I haven't heard of any species that are about to be hunted to extinction by humans.
On the contrary, when approaching the village under the Tower of the Great Sage, Lin You approached secretly, wanting to observe the current situation of the village, but what he saw was an empty village. This is the conclusion that Lin came to after he walked into the village boldly after observing for a long time without seeing a single person.
The most important thing for this kind of gathering place in the wild is to guard against attacks from monsters, UU reading books www.uukanshu.com or those uncivilized races, so the most important thing is to defend well. Even without the protection of the city wall, there will be simple wooden fences, which are more or less protective. And the structure of the house must be very solid, to the extent that ordinary monsters can't break it.
Judging from the current house structure of the village, it doesn't look like it was breached by a barbarian race, and it is generally intact. Lin was guessing that it should be a continuation of the previous incident. Although I don't know the population composition of the village, it may not be easy for the remaining people to make a living in this barren land after losing more than forty young and strong laborers.
Coupled with the occurrence of false accusations, in terms of the attitude of the Association of Magicians, the normal situation is to punish those people with false accusations. Based on the charges at the time, it is not impossible for the inspectors to actually launch a massacre of the village. But there is a greater possibility, that is, to just drive those people away and not allow them to continue living in the territory of the Tower of the Great Sage.
The law does not punish the crowd, and there is such a situation in the Lost World, but it is not without punishment, so expelling those people and leaving their lives is a reasonable punishment. Regardless of killing or driving away, it will look like this.
Don't think that there will be corpses if you kill them. You didn't look at the forty-six corpses hanging outside the tower. rope. Thinking about it, even if this village is really slaughtered, it is probably just a wild beast in the forest.
Although the fate of the survivors has not been determined, but seeing the result in front of him, Lin no longer cares about this shit. The starry sky at night is still the main axis of my research. The computerization of the energy pool is also in full swing, and the calculation function, especially for the calculation of floating point numbers, still has considerable room for improvement in accuracy.
