Wulian City, the reception room on the fifth floor of the middle tower. The Chamber of Commerce, a subsidiary of the Siga branch of the Wizards' Association, and fourteen magicians with decision-making and voting rights, gathered here. Except for the president, who sat on the main seat, the rest of the people sat on either side of the long table.

Among the 14 members, they serve as the elders of the branch and also serve as the chairman of the chamber of commerce. At the same time, there will also be seats for the four tower owners in the east, west, north and south. In addition, there are five people who are recommended places belonging to the founding family.

The Chamber of Commerce was not built from scratch. Rather, there were five families—noble, magical, and merchant—and because the children of the families belonged to the upper echelons of the district, they united to form a chamber of commerce, subordinate to the district.

The Chamber of Commerce, which was established with these five families as the backbone, made it difficult to bypass the opinions of the five families in decision-making. Therefore, they became the children of the family of magicians, as a member of the decision-making seat, representing the opinions of the family.

If in modern times, there are not enough people in the family to become magicians, they also retain a referral place, so that magicians who are friendly with their own family can represent them in the decision-making circle of the Chamber of Commerce.

Hydra Kunness, a representative of the Kunnig family, sat on one side of the long table.

The remaining four, in the initial establishment stage, were led by four of the highest-ranking armed forces of the contemporary Sijia District Council. Since this kind of person is to serve as the gold medal fighter of the Chamber of Commerce, it is impossible not to share some profits, so they also occupy a seat in the decision-making circle and share the profits.

Since then, these four places have been retained, either by the predecessor to recommend the successor, or by the public to recommend a strong enough magician to take the role. Of course, when the Chamber of Commerce encounters trouble in operation and has to be solved by force, these four people have to fight the striker. As the Inspector, Grand Wizard Greenwyn has such a seat. This is one of the reasons why he was able to expand the forum system to the entire district in a short period of time.

Now they put down the affairs at hand and came to the fifth floor of the middle tower, for the purpose of the mall system proposed by Lin, of course. However, the chairman did not pass on the explanatory documents that came with the system magic stone to everyone. The main thing is that the viewing speed is too slow and there is too much content. So Orange Fruit Eaton handed it to his chief student standing aside.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he operated the forum terminal connected to the energy pool on the fifth floor of the middle tower. Place the book in the magic circle next to the keyboard, and as you turn the page, the text on the book is also synchronized to the new article page on the forum.

That's right, although the computer development of the world is still very primitive in the eyes of Lin, the excellence of the input method is far beyond the earth. In addition to the most basic keyboard input, there are voice input, handwriting input, and scan input, and the reliability is nearly 100%. You will make mistakes, either by pronouncing the wrong words yourself or by writing them on the paper.

The biggest reason for this excellence is that a certain senior magician who loved sound and light effects created a method of turning sounds into magical words in mid-air, and incantations or magic arrays copied on ordinary paper were also turned into magical words in the air.

The original intention was to complete the complex spell casting process in this way without relying on the power pool of the magic tower. But in reality, when casting spells outside, if you are in a state of battle, you have to cast another spell before the completion of one spell, and if the opponent is a master of the same level as yourself, the time wasted is enough for the opponent to kill himself to slag; If the opponent is weaker than yourself, then there is no need for such a complicated way, and there will be an easier way to kill the opponent.

Therefore, these two magics that have been passed down, called 'Mil Phonology' and 'Mir Magic', have long occupied the ranking of the top ten useless spells in the association, and they are the same in all districts.

It wasn't until Lin devised an otherworldly version of the computer system that incorporated these two spells into the basic input method. Many old magicians who are older and not used to keyboard input have become extremely respectful of the two sets of Mir's magic, which have been disliked for hundreds of years.

However, this aspect is a plug-in function, if you want to use it, you have to buy relevant knowledge from the association, and then install it on the browser system according to the instructions. The consequences of the infringement are serious, especially now that the Mir Magician is dead to the point that he can play the drum, and the rights to the magic belong to the Guild. Infringing on the interests of the association is no different from seeking death.

And the ease of input is also a major reason why forums are sought after. In addition to the convenience of information exchange in various places, a large amount of text data is digitized by scanning, which accelerates the speed of knowledge dissemination and reduces costs.

And now, everyone is waiting for the process of digitizing the document. The reason why I didn't do it before, but I had to do it in front of everyone, is to prove that every text was scanned from the document and not made any changes.

Orange Fruit Eaton's chief student, after scanning a chapter, published the data in the private discussion section of the chamber's decision-making circle. The rest of the people also stared at their own forum screens, looking at the explanatory document from the Great Sage Tower.

Quick reading and quick comprehension have become the instinct of almost everyone with the qualifications of a great magician. With the content of the chapters announced, everyone also has a preliminary concept of this mall system. Because in the explanatory document, Lin also made a simple explanation of the reason for each design and the idea behind it. Of course, if others can't understand it, it's not within his consideration.

Originally, the reception room was silent, except for one or two great magicians who had poor habits, and when they were thinking, they would knock on the table with their hands and make some noise. Gradually, there were people discussing with the people around them, and then the more people participated in the discussion, the reception room became three or four small groups discussing the mall system.

In general, everyone agrees to use the mall system. However, the distribution of orders has become the focus of debate.

The main objects served by the affiliated chambers are the magicians scattered throughout the Sija district. In the form of opening a store, stocking goods in various stores and then selling them is extremely expensive in terms of cost and turnover rate, and there is no profit at all. In addition, opening a store outside of the headquarters of the district will inevitably result in additional expenses due to taxes to the local lords.

Secondly, the tower owners will not deliberately go to a town with a store in order to buy something. If you are lucky, you can pull the spot return; If you're unlucky, you'll have to wait for home delivery. Therefore, the main business model of the Chamber of Commerce is that the manager of the Chamber of Commerce travels diligently to various places, contacts and decides on orders, and then returns to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce to dispatch goods.

Therefore, it is not surprising that it takes half a year to wait for a transaction. Fortunately, the pace of life in the world is slow, and no one is in a hurry to order some unconventional special goods today, and they will have to receive them tomorrow.

In the original face-to-face transaction mode, orders are held in the hands of the person who comes forward to contact them, and the pricing power is the same, and commissions and profits are generated. However, problems arise when the transaction is replaced by a virtual platform interface.

Although Lin has a designated sales person column on the order system, so that the system knows who the order will be forwarded to, someone can return the price to the customer who placed the order.

If there is a certain steward's price that is particularly affordable, once it spreads on the forum, it will inevitably create a few star businesses. There is so much trading volume in the entire Xijia District, and the pie is so big, if a few people seize most of it, the rest of the people can only pick up some small profits, which is not hated by people.

But what if there is no field for sales personnel? Considering that most magicians don't care who bought it from, even if there is a business person field that is set up, it may be filled indiscriminately. Therefore, if there is no business personnel option, orders will be centralized in the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce. But someone still has to make an offer, so it has to be redistributed. It's just that how this part should be distributed, Lin can't do anything.

It's just that there is no business option, which is not good for some chamber of commerce managers who have loyal customers and are also very diligent in running around the world. Because by distribution, the original customers may be assigned to other people for various reasons.

So there are pros and cons to both methods. For the representatives of the family faction, who are numerous, and have a more sensitive sense of business behavior, it is natural that they want to operate in the first form, and it is easier for them to seize more profits. But for the representatives of the martial arts faction and the tower owner, the Chamber of Commerce may be able to dig out a relatively large profit margin.

This discussion will not be resolved in a short period of time. Some magicians even call in their right-hand men, and ask those who know more about business to give them ideas.

On the contrary, President Orange Eaton listened calmly to the arguments and did not intervene. Most of the chamber's interests will be subsidized into the district council, that is, through the hands of him, the president. How much he wants to withhold depends on his conscience. Therefore, the position of president does not participate in the actual operation, and most of them are responsible for the internal arbitration of the chamber of commerce.

While pondering the pros and cons of the two options, Orange Fruit Eaton suddenly noticed that the two junior apprentices from the Great Sage's Tower were still standing quietly aside, not daring to move.

He summoned two girls and asked, "Your main purpose this time is to come for the apprenticeship assessment." ”

"Yes, I will grow up."

"Is there a notice?"

There is no fixed time for apprenticeship assessments. Rather, those who want to participate in the assessment will take the initiative to apply. The association then looks at the magicians who have the qualification of inspectors, who have free time, to conduct the assessment homework. Generally, once a month. The Guild will also gather apprentices who have recently applied for it, and arrange them according to the time of the Inspector Magician.

As early as last month, Halumi and Kaya's apprenticeship assessment asked the Chamber of Commerce's carriage and horse team to apply on their behalf. After the girl explained, she said, "All that's left is to report to Sita and confirm the date." ”

The division of rights and responsibilities of Wulian City. The East Tower manages the general affairs and chambers of commerce, the West Tower manages the apprentices, the South Tower collects and manages magical knowledge, and the North Tower handles the business of magicians, including dispatches. The affairs of the Inspector, the Inspector and the Grand Mage, and the other four towers that can't be handled, are the responsibility of the middle tower.

Knowing the girls' arrangement, Orange Fruit Eaton nodded, and then asked, "Then will you leave after the assessment?" ”

"The teacher has instructed us to buy some things from the Chamber of Commerce. However, it depends on how much you can get paid by the association before you can decide what you need. When everything is almost ready, we will return with the caravan of horses and wagons. ”

"It's fine." Orange Fruit Eaton looked at the people who were still arguing and said, "It seems that the discussion here will not come to a conclusion so quickly. There may be some things that you need to exchange opinions with your teachers. As for the part of the reward, I will also instruct someone to settle it and deliver it to you as soon as possible. When the time comes, I'll say hello to the Chamber of Commerce, and explain to them what you want to buy. But since there is nothing to do with you for the time being, let's go down and rest first. I remember that the apprenticeship assessment was also a matter of the past few days. You should prepare well and don't worry about anything else. ”

The two girls bowed at the same time and said, "Yes, thank you, Lord." ”
