Chapter 595: Technical Guild
Knowing what to deal with, I made a promise to attend when the time came. After all, the great magician Kabanbai personally invited him, and if he refused, it would be too shameless.
Secondly, it will be safe to participate, of course, because someone is not alone. The people who have been working hard to maintain it, so that Lin also has some help in the holy city of Estali. It's like the bigwigs who have helped them solve a lot of problems a few times.
In fact, the bond with these seniors is not only that they have the right to come to mathematics courses in order to maintain their right to acquire knowledge after paying tuition fees. Of course, it is not the expectation of a deeper level of mathematics in the future, so that they are willing to help.
If only for this reason, they could have pretended to be deaf and dumb when others put pressure on them, and then they could get a piece of the pie at the end of the harvest. Because it is the least effort-saving, the least expensive to pay, and the most rewarding.
But when someone who has not been caught is worthy of their favor, they will naturally help. Because judging by someone's character, the debt owed will eventually be rewarded.
It is true that with a brave and courageous attitude, he will smooth out all obstacles in his future, and he will also have the help to rely on himself because of this. But strictly speaking, there are two different kinds of people who will be willing to help themselves in a different way in their lives.
Instead of arguing about which boost is better, ask yourself what kind of life you want. And then someone's choice, too, is obvious.
Regarding the invitation to the magician's banquet five days later, Lin also informed the others at dinner. He asked, "Does anyone want to come along?" ”
At a banquet like this, there is a place for the official magician, there is a place for the apprentice, and even the followers who are not magicians will have a place to gather, and there is no problem even walking around each other. Unlike some small private banquets, except for certain people, everyone else is very casual.
As long as Lin alone has an invitation letter, he has no problem bringing a few people to the banquet together, and the organizer will do his best to entertain him. But the magicians still have a tacit understanding, that is, people other than magicians, and there is a limit of no more than ten. For those who are also of the same rank as magicians, the more the merrier. That's why Lin asked this question, to see who was going to eat and drink.
But it seems that everyone is exhausted and lacking in interest. This is not to blame them, after all, everyone can be said to be busy during this time.
The microscope business of the silver-bearded dwarf is undoubtedly an exclusive business with a high-tech threshold, and not everyone can get their hands on it. And anyone who tries to reach out and force the dwarves with dirty methods will be dealt with by the impatient customers.
But that doesn't mean the dwarves can take it, and the same pressure can turn in the other direction at any time. Because those big people who are waiting to receive the microscope are also Lin and others who can't afford to offend or don't want to offend.
So in the near future, as long as the materials are sufficient, except for the time to eat and drink, the four dwarves are immersed in the work. Even the previous incident where Freya and the others were not in harmony acted as if it had never happened. That desperate energy, I saw that someone had nightmares. It's as if I went back to before the crossing, met my habitual boss, and entered a sweatshop......
Compared with the scene of the four silverbearded dwarves in full swing, it is not far behind, and it can even be said that it is the bathroom system business led by Uzov.
It starts with someone paying out of their own pocket, setting up a toilet at the Flame Red Lips Inn and Kabanbay Academy. The business is changing so fast that others can't imagine it. And the challenges faced by Uzov and the craftsmen he worked with came faster than expected. In the final analysis, the reason is that the things are easy to use, the market is large, but the production is insufficient, and it seems that the technical threshold is not high.
There were good friends with the craftsmen who cooperated with Uzov, and some craftsmen from small workshops came to the door privately, hoping to find a way to make it and share some of the needs of the market.
The big workshop owners who have people behind them are also coming one after another, and as soon as they open their mouths, they are all-round cooperation. The various conditions are clearly listed, but in fact, it is similar to annexation, but the original team is not kicked away. And such an act seems to be a magnanimous act in their mouths, and there is no less threat in and out of their words.
Although discerning people can know at a glance who is behind this emerging business, no one cares about these local snakes. Because whether it is a magician who teaches mathematics, or a lich who may have been a demon king, in their eyes, it is not enough.
Even if there are people such as Kabanbai, the great magician who takes good care of Lin in the magic circle, it is difficult to exert any power in the business of a follower. Especially since this thing has nothing to do with 'magic', and they don't have to meddle with everything.
For this kind of situation that he was faced with difficulties at the beginning, of course, Uzov found someone for help.
If it had been a few years earlier, someone might have chosen to hand things over; Or find some bigwigs to intervene in the stocks, relying on their power to fake the tiger. Of course, a lot of profits have to be given out, just to save yourself a little trouble, and not to bother to spend too much time in these places. But today I didn't go to charge on my own, there was an Uzov to do it for me. And what he wants to hear is not a suggestion to admit defeat.
The way to break the game is also very simple, that is, to unite those stragglers to fight against the big forces.
But there is no way to easily co-opt these people. They will maintain the scale of a small workshop, not just to maintain autonomy and not be oppressed by others. The economies of scale have not yet developed, and the large workshops are still in the stage of squeezing manpower in order to obtain a lot of profits. Zero Zero Book House
It is like landlords and tenant farmers, compared to yeoman farmers who own small plots of land. Unless it's really precarious, who wants to be a sharecropper.
Even if you analyze the stakes with these people, by the time they figure it out, it may be too late for anything. At the beginning, those craftsmen who were willing to cooperate with Uzov thought about it for a long time, and it was only after thinking about it that they have today's union.
However, the pressure of reality is already in sight, and there is not much time to convince the small workshop owners slowly. Therefore, Lin proposed to use the way of enterprises to master the core technology and horizontal communication, and subcontract most of the projects to small manufacturers, so as to form an industrial chain with complete upstream and downstream support.
Don't look at this statement as if it is very profound, if you want other people to understand, you have to take a lesson in economics. In fact, there have been relevant measures in place for a long time, and with just one mention, Uzov figured it out. That is similar to the adventurer's guild, with a system for task release and adventurer's level evaluation.
Anyone who wants to get a piece of the bathroom equipment market in the holy city of Estali has to join the 'Bathroom Equipment Technology Guild', which is headed by Uzov and others. Participating craftsmen will be given different grades and permissions based on their past evaluations, the quality of the work, and the projects they are good at. These levels affect the jobs they can receive from the guild.
Those who want to make a little more money from this business are, of course, to take more jobs; If you want to do your own thing, of course, you should take less work from the guild. That is, their profits depend on their own willingness and effort, and they do not simply work for someone and are squeezed to earn a small salary. In this way, autonomy is maintained.
What the Technology Guild has paid is only the initial market that it has developed, and then it has divided some processes that have no technology at all, and anyone who sees it will do it, only in the process of doing well or badly. The only thing I have in my hand is the recipe for the porcelain glaze.
In this way, such an act has captured the vast majority of the artisans in the Holy City who work alone. Not only is there manpower, but it also forms a force that others cannot despise.
In fact, this whole thing can be promoted smoothly, and it is also thanks to the original arrogant and arrogant big workshop owners.
Uzov told the ordinary craftsmen why they wanted to join the Technical Guild. If you are alone, even if you learn a full set of production techniques, will you be able to withstand the pressure of those big workshop owners and the people behind them? Even if you resist the pressure, how much can you do by yourself? How fast? If you want to go it alone, it is better to join forces.
And the alliance here is not to invest under the power of any party, but to compete with other peers by relying on their own craftsmanship. There are not too many bad things, and for the time being, it seems that there will still be more work than people, so you don't have to worry about not being able to grab a job.
The organization and system of the Adventurer's Guild and the Mercenary Guild have been in practice for many years. Even if you have never been an adventurer and accepted a commission, you still have the experience of entrusting work to an adventurer; Even if you don't have neither, you have at least a glimpse of what these organizations do. It's hard not to get involved with these people when you live in a lost place.
Because it is a system that everyone is familiar with, there is no need to go through too much teaching and explanation, and those who are willing to participate can quickly get started, and it will form a scale in a very short time. By the time the big workshops controlled by the big guys noticed that something was wrong, the Tech Guilds were enough to confront them, or even suppress their existence.
At this point, the only choice left for the big workshop owners is to stay out of this business, or join the Tech Guild and become a member of it.
However, some people want to oppose the customer, join the technical guild, and then eat the entire guild in turn, grasp the pricing power and distribution power, and favor their own people.
But all members of the guild are both managers and employees. No matter how sweet they talk and form cliques, they will always be guarded by other small workshop owners and craftsmen, and it will be difficult for them to control the power of the guild.
Even if you want to fight and make trouble...... It can be said that everyone can't ask for it. Anyway, there is revenge, but there is no revenge to practice fists. Lost inhabitants, no one is afraid to fight.
Of course, the main reason is that the pricing is negotiated by all members of the guild; The assignment is in the form of a task release, which specifies the requirements, time limit and remuneration, and is chosen by the guild members. It may not be the best and most efficient system, but at least it is acceptable to all. Anyone who wants to undermine this system will be ostracized by everyone.
But it also has to do with the way Uzov Gandya handles things. He did a good job of connecting the weak small workshop owners and craftsmen, making it difficult for the relatively large forces to divide and unite the small forces.
And in order to give everyone a place to get together, everyone bought a joint venture house as a stronghold for the guild. Uzov Gantia became the first president.
And in order to make the technical guild run smoothly, Uzov hired some clerks who knew how to write and calculate.
And when a group of stinky men get together, it is inevitable that they will want wine and meat. Therefore, this guild hall also serves as a business of eating and drinking, just like a tavern.
Then when Uzov realized what he was doing, he was speechless. When life comes full circle and returns to the starting point, it always makes people feel powerless.
