Chapter 45 Proposed Mall Layout
The index finger tapped on the table, and an upright water mirror and keyboard projection appeared in front of Lin. The three presidents looked at it and hurriedly asked, "Your Excellency, what is in front of you?" ”
"This, oh." Remembering that he hadn't explained it to the guests yet, Lin flicked the water mirror, turned the display screen towards the three presidents, and said, "Because there are occasional guests visiting, sometimes it is my own two students who want to use it, and it is unreasonable to always let them occupy the time of my core room research." So right here in the restaurant, open the terminal interface that connects to the energy pool. ──”
As he spoke, Lin stretched the water mirror in front of him, extending it to the width of his arms, and threw it on the blank wall next to the long table. So that everyone can see the display.
"—Suppose the three adults also want to use it. You can tap the desktop twice in the same way to call out the terminal interface. Then log in to your user account or browse with guest privileges. I'm going to subpoena President Eaton, but I don't know how quickly he's going to respond. You may have to wait a little longer. ”
When you close and turn on the Water Mirror, the forum page will pop up. To be honest, Lin himself was a little annoyed to watch. If you work in your own core room, you don't have this kind of problem of tying up the homepage. However, in the case of restaurants, since most of them are used by others, the fixed forum page is the homepage, which can be regarded as a careful opportunity for forced sales.
And after closing, it is a dazzling operation. In fact, it was to call the location of the marker that was teleported to President Orange Fruit Eton, and then it was to send a message to the past. It mainly explains that the three branch presidents are at the Great Sage's Tower and want to discuss the mall system.
Looking at the finger-like typing skills, and the operation that couldn't be understood no matter how you look at it, the three presidents were speechless for a while. There is a feeling that I am getting older, but I can't understand what young people are doing, whether this age is living to a dog.
After delivering the message, Lin stopped and waited. After all, not everyone will stay by their energy pool and wait, and no one will respond immediately if they are notified. The other three are also very aware of this, not to mention that this kind of request for instant contact without an agreed time is actually how long it will take, but no one dares to guarantee.
However, the three presidents did not rudely open their respective forum pages, and each bowed his head and operated. The network adhesion of the world of the lost land has not yet reached the level of sickness on earth, and the self-control of the three high-powered old people is not comparable to that of young people. So they still chose to chat with the tower master, although there was some spiding in and out of their words. Make someone even more miserable.
Just when I was thinking about whether to use urine or. The screen of the Water Mirror Technique thrown on the wall suddenly flashed, and the familiar old face took up the whole picture again. Although Lin was still frightened, for the first time, he felt a sense of gratitude. As for the three people opposite, they seemed to be accustomed to this old man's style, but they were very calm and did not have any fright.
"Yo, in my memory, I really have never seen such a picture, the three presidents sit side by side. Isn't it a pity that I wasn't there at this time? I've heard that you want to talk to me about the mall system, but it doesn't look like you're going to talk to me. "Orange Eaton opened fire as soon as he appeared.
Compared to the battle of words, the three old men are not lost to the one who talks through the screen. Four people just carry guns and sticks, you come and go, three of the ten sentences are scraping, three are washing, and three are hitting the air, and only one sentence is left to touch the side of business. Lin was just left aside, unable to insert half a sentence.
Looking at this scene, Lin thought to himself, fortunately, it was separated by a video screen. If it's face-to-face, it's not a fight. But when you really face each other, can you really fight? That's another question.
Just as a bystander, when he was nine days away, Lin was suddenly beaten back to the world by a question. President Orange Fruit Eaton's eyes widened and he asked menacingly, "Your Excellency Tripwood, what is your opinion?" ”
"My opinion?" How dare I have any opinion. Lin, who wanted to shout like this, was stared at by four pairs of staring eyes. At this time, I asked everyone where the dispute was just now, and I don't know if it is a white eye. However, although he did not listen to the content in detail, Lin did not find a point to cut into for the two sides who had their own opinions and did not want to back down at all.
"The four elders, in fact, I think the concerns and insistences of the four are very reasonable, the difference is only in their different positions. If you want to ask me, I will talk to you from a different angle. That is, from the position of a magician who is served by the Chamber of Commerce, what exactly the Association wants to do will be more beneficial to us. ”
Throwing out a question, Lin cautiously looked at everyone's expressions. Seeing that there was not much disgust and contempt, Lin Cai continued: "For an ordinary magician, the most advantageous and convenient situation for me is that I can use the mall system to buy or book what I need. And it doesn't really matter who this system belongs to. But for associations, there's a difference. It is a set of mall system to serve the people of the entire Southwest Peninsula; or the four districts will each build a mall to serve the people in their respective districts; Or if there is no restriction, the royal families and noble chambers of commerce in various countries have also built shopping malls, and then compete with each other. Of course, the last one is the least desirable and will not be discussed here. So what's the difference between the first two? ──”
In front of everyone's eyes, Lin used the water mirror technique to open another screen, magnify it, and lay it flat on the table. The picture is a map of the southwest peninsula of the mainland, which is not detailed, it is a map sold by the Wizards Association for magicians to adventure, and several guilds recognize it at a glance. But the next action made everyone's eyes light up. Lin grabbed a red, white and blue patch out of thin air and draped it over the map, fitting the outline of the peninsula. At the same time, stretching out his hand, five small magic towers connected to each other were erected at the location of the Wulian City.
The biggest advantage of having a mall system to serve the entire peninsula is that it can effectively integrate the resources of the entire peninsula. But either way. As he spoke, Lin ignored the smiling faces of President Orange Fruit Eaton and the other three frowning leaders, and threw aside the red, white, and blue blocks and put on the yellow, white, and red blocks and the magic tower that marked the headquarters of the Cadiz Clan.
The faces of the four presidents have changed, some are happy, some are worried. But Lin then threw away the color blocks, then put on the green, yellow, red and Leon district council headquarters, and then threw them again, and finally put the red, green, and red blocks on, and erected a small magic tower representing the headquarters of the Nonan district council.
All of these situations have the same drawbacks. The contract of the transaction can be concluded quickly through the mall and the forum, yes; However, the transportation of goods still has to rely on traditional methods, either human or animal power. In other words, in terms of delivery speed, we have not improved. ”
Changing four times in a row, several presidents also saw the problem. Lin snapped his fingers, and nearly a thousand small magic towers immediately appeared on the map. "This is the location of most of the magic towers that I know. As far as I know, the shipping model of the Chamber of Commerce is to concentrate first and then ship. No matter which district you start from, the longest-distance tower will have to wait for the goods you have purchased, and it will take about four months to half a year. Looking at this matter from the perspective of the same tower owner, maybe I buy things much faster, but waiting for the delivery to my door is even slower than before. ”
Throw aside the red, green, and red color blocks on the map, and clear all the small magic towers. Lin Cai used the final template, which was divided into four districts in the Southwest Peninsula today, and put on their own color blocks. Lin continued, "As far as I know, the fact that the Wizards Association is now divided into so many regions is based on the original consideration of geography and support distance. So leaving it as it is can also be regarded as a good choice. The tower owners in the border area choose to trade with the mall in which district it chooses to trade with depends on the habits of each tower owner. After all, some people don't care about waiting longer, but they want to get a cheaper price. There are also people who want to get the purchased items in a relatively quick time, and they don't care about paying more for it. ”
With such a proposal, the three presidents who came from afar smiled, but their old man frowned. Of course, Lin knew what the reason was, it was nothing more than a feeling that the profits were being thinned, and it was a feeling that he had worked so hard for so long to make wedding dresses for others.
Of course, if the words could only go to this extent, Lin would not dare to speak, and it would be in vain to be a member of the traversal. The earth period is a man who has been baptized by the Internet. He shouted loudly: "But! "Instantly draw everyone's attention back to themselves. Lin Cai continued:
"At the beginning, it was mentioned that the use of forums and shopping malls to integrate the resources of the entire Southwest Peninsula is also an advantage that is difficult to ignore. It's like myself, I ordered the materials for the Arcane Eye to build the tower from the Chamber of Commerce affiliated with the Siga District Council, and although most of the materials were delivered in the fastest time, there were still a few auxiliary materials missing. So my Arcane Eye building, though built, is incomplete. Maybe, I mean, maybe by combining the rare resource information of the four districts of the Southwest Peninsula, the excipients I need can be found in the three districts outside of Siga. Now I'm just waiting for the items to be delivered, not even knowing where the materials I need or the replacement items are. ”
This as the beginning of the turning point does not seem to arouse the disgust of several big figures, but makes them face up to the necessity of resource integration. Lin also dared to put forward the next opinion: "Then can we say that after the establishment of the mall system in each district, it is still the priority of resource scheduling in each district." However, if there is a rare item that is also lacking in the region, the demand will be reported to a unit that integrates the information of the four districts, and this special unit will dispatch resources. Sometimes, when there is a state of emergency, the chariot and horse teams of various chambers of commerce are already responsible for transporting supplies and strategic materials, so after the establishment of the multi-regional coalition army, can this special unit also be responsible for assigning the delivery of materials? ──”
For such a proposal, the eyes of the four presidents lit up. They all know very well what kind of changes may be produced by such a unit that is above the fourth district, and they also have ideas one after another. However, Lin Ke didn't mean to let a few old people fight indiscriminately, he said directly:
"As for this special unit, I would like to suggest that the Chamber of Commerce affiliated to the Siga branch should serve as a part-time unit. The reason is, of course, that the mall system was the earliest to be launched, and they naturally accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with transactions. When encountering this kind of cross-regional affairs, of course, it is necessary to be safe, and do not rush to make the buyers unhappy, and the association will have to carry the black pot. That's my opinion on this matter. ”
