"The low price of the basic version is certain, but since Jenna has doubts, we will try it out in the southern region for a period of time to see the effect. But by then, if the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce wants to join, the conditions will not be as good as now. .”
Of course, Xia Duo said this from his heart. Compared with the Minshui Chamber of Commerce, the only thing that the Tower of Time currently lacks may be experience in dealing with lords from various places, but this is not irreparable.
Coupled with mastering the core technology, it is actually possible to leave the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce aside and go it alone. The main reason why we want to involve the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce is to borrow the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce's brand name and the reputation it has accumulated over a long period of time.
It can save a considerable amount of time in the initial stage, and attracting a collaborator is equivalent to eliminating one competitor or even troublemaker in advance.
It is naturally not difficult to distinguish between the gains and losses of Xia Duo, but Jenna still has doubts about the business model of the Void Warehouse. However, if the feasibility of this business model is fully verified, the potential partners will not only be the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce.
It’s up to all parties to let Xiaduo choose!
"I will make the first version of the Void Warehouse as soon as possible, and let Derrick be responsible for the business operations. This can also be regarded as providing new assistance to the integration process of the North and the South."
Derrick is an old man from the Saville Territory, and he was an old man from the time when Epps was the lord. He is mainly responsible for the territory's business, and he controls several chambers of commerce under his control.
Of course, the reason why Derrick was chosen was because Derrick was the father of brothers Edrich and Adrian, and he was considered a close person to Sha Duo.
Having the two brothers Edrich and Adrian in their hands is actually equivalent to holding Derrick's "hostage", and the force that hinders the integration of the two places in the Saville Territory is largely the Savior Territory. The Chamber of Commerce is the middle-level manager of the territory who serves as the link of interests.
It just so happens that these middle-level managers have various inextricable relationships with Epps' followers, whether they are fathers and sons, brothers, nephews, uncles and nephews, or sisters-in-law. In short, you can think of it. Almost all relationships can be found in these people.
Epps's followers are not only the highest-ranking members of the Savile Territory, but also Nia's elders to a certain extent. For example, Mayor Thain of Savile Town is also Cecily's supervisor at the Tower of Time's Materials Department. Father.
Of course, for Cecily and her daughter, they were housekeepers to two generations of lords respectively.
Under such circumstances, even if the senior leaders of Savile Territory support the integration of the two territories, they will actually be coerced by the relatives below who are directly in charge of various affairs in the territory.
Their true inner thoughts may not necessarily support the integration of the two places!
Therefore, if you want to promote the integration of the two places, the biggest resistance is actually the middle-level managers who actually control the territory. It is not difficult to remove the resistance. The easiest way is to ignore the existence of those people and directly dominate the north with the south.
But doing so can easily hurt Niya's feelings.
Therefore, from the moment he decided to start the integration process between the two places, Sha Duo has been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for Savile to lead the old man to make mistakes and make them lose points in Niya's heart.
It's a pity that Epps's followers and Niya's elders may really support the integration of the two places, but they didn't show any disobedience. On the contrary, they continued to suppress the middle management below.
Those middle-level managers did not directly confront the above-mentioned policies, but kept complaining to Niya. In fact, they were bullying Niya because she did not understand or had limited knowledge of territorial affairs.
In this case, Niya couldn't make up her mind, and it made it inconvenient for Shado to intervene, because what Niya couldn't make up her mind about was not the so-called facts spoken by the middle-level staff, but the fear of the psychological impact of tough policies on the elders.
Once anything is related to emotions, even the most astute mathematician will have difficulty figuring out the subtleties.
However, this matter soon ushered in a turning point. Emotional issues may have made Niya undecided, but for Niya's father, it was not a problem.
In the past, Chateau was worried that Epps would become the new core of resistance to the integration of the two places after coming out, but what he didn't expect was that Epps decisively chose to support him after seeing the differences between the two places!
What a huge blow this was to those people in Savile's leadership who were engaged in confrontation in both overt and covert ways! It is simply a replica of "The ministers are about to fight to the death, why does Your Majesty surrender first?"
The slogan of those die-hards in the past was that the old lord was doing what he was doing, and doing what was done when the old lord was around. Now that the old lord has really appeared, they are dumbfounded.
Of course, it would be unrealistic to completely exclude the old Savile people from the new system. Since the integration process between the two places began, Leiden has been examining who is available and who is not.
And they are also selectively introducing some people who actively support new policies into the new system. Now that Sha Duo said "let Derrick be responsible for operating the Void Warehouse Project", it is considered a new stage for the new system to accept the old people of the Saville Territory.
The economic base determines the superstructure. As long as the economic problems are solved, most of the remaining problems can be solved easily.
In the past, if Xia Duo was willing to fully accept those old people, there would actually not be much resistance to the unification of the two places. After all, it is not an errand to whomever you work for!
But Xia Duo didn't want those people to pollute the new system, so he always refused the acceptance suggestions that Thain and others had made many times.
Now, the conditional acceptance of Derrick will be an important turning point in the integration process between the two places. Coupled with Epps's support, perhaps the initial goal of integration can be achieved before the end of the year——
Clarify internal affairs and completely extend the new system from the south.
Of course, other goals of integration are not planned and implemented sequentially, but are carried out simultaneously. For example, education in the two places is constantly expanding. The Tower of Time is also expanding enrollment in Savile Territory, and will eventually reach the point where all school-age teenagers are enrolled.
Another example is the Territory Guard. Although the old guard of the Saville Territory has not been completely disbanded, the Daxia Territory Guard from the south has begun to take over part of the patrol work and has begun to recruit local soldiers.
…
After discussing with Niya the operational arrangements for the Void Warehouse, Sha Duo left the Tower of Time and returned to the Level 3 Laboratory in the Floating City Research Area.
It is a pity that there is no dedicated plane laboratory, and it is somewhat inappropriate to build a new one now. After all, the new floating city is almost ready for use, and if it is to be built, it will be built in the new city.
Therefore, Xia Duo is still using the Mystic Lock Laboratory. He wants to try the crystallization process of the Seven Towers to prepare plane crystals. If successful, there should be no shortage of plane crystals in the future.
However, he is also a little worried about whether there is a difference in the exploration results of the plane exploration array between the plane crystals created by the demiplane and the plane crystals produced by the destruction of the normal plane.
To verify this, we need long-term comparative observation records. Currently, the Tower of Time does not have the conditions to verify this, but this part can be taken into consideration in the upcoming third phase of the construction of the new floating city.
