Chapter 1007: Growth Trap
After a while, the Lord of Forging and Tethys suddenly glanced at Su Ye, and lowered their heads slightly, as if they were in deep thought.
The divine power and magic of the three of them are secretly connected.
"Lord of the Forge, Tethys, this time, I will choose different plans according to different possibilities. Now, I've decided to put aside my worries and choose the one that will allow the Infinite Plane to grow the fastest. But the problem is that this plan will encounter great resistance, and countless main gods and even god kings will intervene to block it. ”
"Now, there is only one way to circumvent the gods' joint efforts, and by the time they find out, it will be too late. However, I need two people to help me convince the important gods to agree to our plan. ”
"If our plan goes well, henceforth, the Artisan Deity will be one of the highest-ranking deities in the Infinite Plane."
"If they refuse or fail, the artisan gods will usher in a dark age."
"Yes!" The Lord of the Forge.
"I promise." Tethys Road.
"Okay, next, I will explain the two sets of plans, and the two of you will personally implement the plans......"
I don't know how long it took for the gods to finish thinking and whispering.
Soon, the discussion grew louder and louder, and some even began to debate violently.
However, no one questioned Su Ye, and no one doubted the progress of mankind.
They are more confused.
The gods were confused.
In the mood of contradiction and confusion, the gods continued to discuss and slowly sobered up a lot.
Since everything proves that Su Ye and Supernova are right, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.
Soon, the gods resisted, but they still reached a consensus.
After voting, the full cooperation with Hell City was overwhelmingly approved.
All the main gods present voted in favor.
The Lord of the Demon Furnace nodded, "Now that we have reached a consensus, we will discuss specific cooperation matters next. Su Ye, how do we need to transform it? ”
Su Yedao: "Now there are two plans, one is to pursue short-term interests, specifically, the route of trade, industry and technology. Trade is trade and sales, industry is processing and production, and technology is research and development and technology. Trade and industry technology, that is, the first focus on sales, first make money, after a certain amount of income accumulation, and then begin to use funds for research and development, improve technical capabilities. Feeling, experiential, and instinctive, this is a program that many people enjoy. ”
Most of the gods nodded their heads, and this was a good way to do it.
"So, the other option is to pursue long-term benefits?" The Lord of the Furnace asked.
"No, the benefit is always short-term, long-term existence, higher than the benefit, it should be called value. Benefits are more inclined to money, while value is more inclined to the ability to make money. The second plan is to pursue long-term value, specifically, the route of technology, industry and trade, in the beginning, to give priority to the development of technology and basic research as much as possible, followed by the pursuit of sales, and finally to obtain higher profits through new products and technologies. ”
The Lord of the Demon Furnace smiled and said, "You made a mistake that you said. ”
"You say."
"Whether it is technology, industry and trade or trade, there is a distinction between priority and secondary, and we should pay equal attention to technology and trade." The Lord of the Demon Furnace.
Su Ye smiled and said, "Yes, you are the main god, you can see, you can do both, but what about your subordinate god?" What about your ordinary faithful? Once there is a conflict between the technical direction and the trade interests that cannot be bridged, you can only choose one of them, which one should you choose? We always have limited funds in our hands, is it best to invest in R&D and technology, or to develop business channels first? Do you want to lead the whole organization with a technical background, or do you want to lead with a sales background? You may be able to make the right decision in the face of all the options, but what about your men? ”
"The most frightening thing about you would never have imagined that at some point we have to invest resources in long-term value projects and less in short-term benefit projects, but we mistakenly think that there is a huge conflict between the two. At this moment, it can be called a growth trap, the vast majority of people and organizations cannot accept the reduction of immediate interests, and will step into this trap, lose the opportunity to seize the long-term value, and fully protect the short-term interests. And this opportunity is often seized by new forces. After that, the old ones are eliminated and the new ones are built. ”
The Lord of the Furnace pondered.
The Lord of the Forge asked in a low voice, "Didn't you tell me that developing technology is not in conflict with increasing slaves?" ”
"yes, I don't think it's a conflict, but you feel conflict. I think it's just the primary and secondary, you think it's the opposite; I think it's a sequence, you think it's a contradiction. Su Ye said calmly.
"Stinky boy......" The master of forging touched the wine jug and let go, gently twisting his beard, pondering the things in Su Ye's words.
Vulcan nodded and said, "Su Ye's words are subtle. As a philosopher, he can always grasp the smallest details of thought. Things are meant to be parallel, but we, who think we are wise, distinguish them according to our habits, preferences, experiences, and feelings, and will always inadvertently create contradictions, conflicts, or opposition. But in the eyes of a wise philosopher, everything is in order. ”
"Yes, I choose the technical trade route."
The gods shook slightly, looking at the Lord of the Yin Flame, who rarely spoke.
The Lord of the Grey Dwarves said, "We have no choice but to take the Technical, Industrial and Trade routes. ”
"Oh?" The gods looked at the Lord of the Grey Dwarves.
The tall, thin Lord of the Grey Dwarves spread his hands and said, "It's not that I'm smarter than you, it's that we Grey Dwarves don't know anything about trade at all. Therefore, our gray dwarf in Northern Europe is basically a technology research and development and processing route, there is no sales, and sales are completely dependent on other partners. Just now I studied Su Ye and recalled history on a large time scale, and we gray dwarves, fools, brutes, nerds, and wooden heads, have been concentrating on forging from the beginning, unchanged for ten thousand years, and multiplying for ten thousand years. But what about the various races, all the merchants, who thought themselves to be smarter than us, who for a short time earned a wealth that we dwarves would envy? Round after round of collaborators are like melting icebergs in the North Sea, and there is no longer a sound. ”
The Lord of the Demon Furnace suddenly realized and said, "I understand. Su Ye's choice of technology, industry and trade is the operation mode of the firm on the surface, but it is a little deeper, it is the behavior mode of everyone in the firm, and the deepest layer is our thoughts. The essence of technology, industry and trade is whether we are planning for the long term or focusing on immediate interests; Do we think that foundation and ability are more important, or income and wealth are more important? ”
Vulcan suddenly continued: "Su Ye said a kind of positive logic, it is obvious that the pursuit of foundation and ability, you will be able to gradually accumulate wealth; However, in the pursuit of immediate wealth, it is likely to forget the foundation and ability. The way we think about everything determines our ultimate achievement. ”
Many of the main gods and superior gods nodded slightly, because they found that although they supported trade, industry and technology at the beginning, they quickly decided that technology, industry and trade was the right route, because this was more similar to some of their usual behaviors and choices, which was a truly rational choice.
However, some of the lower and middle gods were hesitant.
"Your lords have a lot of money and a deep foundation, so they can naturally give priority to research and development technology, but we, the lower gods, have an unstable foundation, and if we want to protect ourselves in the god war, it is better to make money first to survive." A lower Shinto.
His words resonated with many of the lower gods.
Vulcan shook his head, what he had just said was in vain.
Su Ye smiled and didn't speak.
The Lord of Forging snorted coldly and said, "Back then, we were also lower gods. Even if I am a subordinate god now, I will firmly choose technology research and development. ”
The lower gods sighed helplessly.
"Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a time. Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. People have their own aspirations and do not force them, not to mention that multiple development and multiple complementarity are beneficial to the whole no matter what. Su Ye smiled.
The lower gods are relieved.
"Oh, by the way, do you remember the changes between the Devil Kingdom and the Demon Kingdom in my deduction world?"
The gods were stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the deduction had been interrupted.
Su Ye said, the virtual deduction world was suspended in the sky above the craftsman conference again, and the devil and the demon continued to fight.
"For hundreds of years, without any external force, I completely deduced the message of the devil and the devil, and now we are about to reach the first millennium. We will find that both sides have won and lost each other, and neither can conquer the other, just like the hell and the abyss now. ”
The gods looked at the picture and nodded slightly.
Some devils and demonic spirits are preoccupied with memorization and even use divine powers to record magical images.
"From now on, in the devil's kingdom, there will be magicians, there will be magicians, and the devil's kingdom will remain the same."
The picture suddenly turned, and in the devil's city, many chimneys appeared, and patches of factories appeared, and many devils began to transform into craftsmen.
In the process, the area of the Devil's Land began to decrease due to the decrease in the combat power of the Demon Realm, and the Demon's Land began to expand.
More land means more resources, and as a result, the number of demons increases, and the demon nation snowballs.
The devil's development seems to have come to a standstill, and he is constantly losing his land.
After a hundred years, the devil is left with less than three-quarters of the land, and the devil has won a great victory.
It was at this time that the accumulation of the devil's technology was finally completed, and batches of magical war equipment and massive magical equipment were born, and the newly armed devils went to the battlefield.
The gods stared at the picture, watching this similar war.
Eventually, the devil defeated the demon by a great margin, and then began to push forward.
In the next Devil's Realm, they won consecutive battles, not only recovering the lost territory, but also occupying half of the Devil's Realm in one go.
Excessive expansion and the emergence of a new class have caused internal turmoil in the Devil's Realm, giving the Devil's Realm a chance to breathe.
After a few decades, the devil's kingdom gradually stabilized, the status of magicians and craftsmen rose, their power expanded, they became a new class, and the social system changed, developing into a country with a very different system from before.
