One of the responsibilities of the association is to arbitrate disputes between magicians. Even if most people choose to go private, the association still handles a huge number of arbitration cases every year. The largest number of them are disputes arising from exchanges.
Not that there are many charlatans among magicians. The source of most transaction disputes comes from the cognitive gap between the parties. The seller believes that his product is of high quality and deserves a higher value; but after the buyer sees the product, he realizes that it is a substandard product with poor quality and various defects, and it is not worthy of such a high value at all. In this way, disputes arise.
And once a dispute enters the stage, there are very few people who can remain rational. Sometimes even arbitration associations suffer the same fate. As Chengguo Eaton, who has been in charge of the Xijia District branch for a long time, it can be said that he is deeply concerned. In that case, assuming that the transaction is conducted on the forum, it seems difficult for the founder of the forum to stay out of the matter.
It would be okay if Guybrash, Lin and Tripwood were all hiding in the Magic Tower. If you dare to step out of the tower, you will be instantly destroyed by the angry enemies. Therefore, Cheng Guo Eaton had to agree with Tripwood's reasons even if he had no choice but to do so.
"But," the conversation changed, and it was Lin's turn to impress. Of course, he did not dare to offend the old man in front of him without looking too far, but continued in a calm tone: "It's not that I haven't thought about using the Internet to do business. When the president asked me this question, he should still consider the association to which the association belongs. Chamber of Commerce."
He looked at the old man and thought for a moment. Transactions on the Internet are for all users, but he will come forward because of the group of businessmen affiliated with the association. Their interests are also related to themselves and the overall development of the association. Realizing that Tripwood had extracted the concept of the Chamber of Commerce, Orange Eaton showed a playful expression and nodded.
"It is not feasible to allow transactions that cannot guarantee the fulfillment of the contract. But if the association comes forward and establishes a forum-like store on the Internet, I think the credibility should be higher than that of two parties who cannot deal face-to-face. It is worthy of trust. However, since this system can only be used by the association, it is not suitable for public knowledge, so in terms of remuneration..." Lin Shizhi rubbed his fingers.
It's normal for magicians to negotiate remuneration before doing something for others. No one will work for nothing, and the world of Lost World will not make the low-status person embarrassed to talk about money because of the difference in status between the two. They can only smile and say, "You can give me whatever you want, as long as you mean it." Then when I really got an exaggeratedly small remuneration, I felt so miserable behind my back.
What's more, one of the responsibilities of the association is to dispatch magical manpower. Only appropriate remuneration can induce magicians with suitable abilities to come forward to complete the task. "If you have the system you mentioned, the association can provide Xbar (X plus a horizontal bar) Kir (10,000 gold). Such a reward is enough."
This is the highest level task and the highest reward that the district association can make the final decision. For a magician of Lin's level, the amount of money is unimaginably huge. He bowed and said, "I am extremely honored by your generosity."
"So, when can I see this system?"
"I already have a plan in mind, but it will take time to realize it. Things are not ready-made. Just next month, I have made a reservation with the Chamber of Commerce's horse and carriage team to send my two apprentices back to the association to participate in the first round. At that time, I will entrust the completed product to my apprentice and submit it together. President, do you think it is okay?"
"Oh, your apprentice has to take the assessment." The old man twirled the mustache at the corner of his mouth, his eyes shining. "I know, I will take good care of them. Then I look forward to the system they submit when the time comes."
There seemed to be some unnecessary misunderstanding... Lin was speechless. But then I thought about it, the world of Lost World is still a society governed by individuals anyway, and it is better to have someone to help you than no one to help you. The first round of the assessment for the two young apprentices depends on whether this system satisfies the big guys. If the system was not done well, I wonder if the two apprentices would come back crying.
After finishing the call with the president, Lin took out the online mall system magic stone from the storage box that contained the framework that had been designed long ago. The reason why it was not made public before was not only because he was not qualified to have a foot in the business, but also whether some of the designs in it should be released, which also made Lin a little hesitant.
After coming to the world of Lost World, what shocked Lin the most was not that magic existed in this world, but that mathematics did not exist in this world! Maybe people can understand simple addition, but multiplication, division, and even deeper knowledge, even magicians, a group at the forefront of knowledge research, have never heard of it.
Therefore, the knowledge of the three systems that Lin handed over before, and the completely public source code, are not afraid of people stealing it. Because there is mathematical logic in it that people in the Lost World cannot understand.
Similarly, in the original design of the mall system, of course there will be designs such as shopping carts and total prices. But those involve not only simple mathematical operations, but also the business operation model of this world.
When businessmen come to discuss business, the price of the same goods to different people in different business hands depends on conscience; the buyer will not just buy one or two items, but when buying more things, the total price also depends on conscience. Therefore, before the association's affiliated chamber of commerce was established, magicians were still tricked by those guys whose consciences were bitten by dogs.
It wasn't until the Magicians Association established a chamber of commerce to run related transactions on its own that the conscience of the businessmen became slightly better and the pitfalls became less serious. However, in addition to relying on the association, the Chamber of Commerce also has some big bosses as backers, so that it has the means and strength to do deals with magicians. Otherwise, the former magicians were severely deceived, and there were many people who temporarily changed their careers to become robbers.
Therefore, under such a business model, when an online mall suddenly comes with open and transparent prices, Mr. Lin feels that this is not promoting social progress, but a prelude to committing suicide. Being one step ahead of others is a genius, being many steps ahead is a lunatic, and lunatics deserve to be burned at the stake. This is the principle of the Lost World.
Not to mention that barter transactions still exist in the world, and this part is difficult to measure with prices. So in order not to offend the entire chamber of commerce and the big bosses hiding behind it, Lin decided to remove unnecessary designs and only keep the product list and order system. So as not to infringe on these people's interests related to conscience, and then erase themselves to fill the gap in conscience.
In addition, it is the optimization of the background management system. Considering that many of the managers in the chamber of commerce affiliated to the Magicians Association are apprentices who have no hope of promotion, this mall system is likely to be used by these people, so in terms of product placement and removal, and classification design, Lin designed it to be as simple as possible. Of course, detailed documentation is also included.
A simple and clear system can effectively reduce the trouble of after-sales service. Although in the world of Lost World, most after-sales services are just one sentence: It is not my fault that you are not smart enough.
These modifications were actually completed in one afternoon. The remaining time is to supervise the two apprentices to make final preparations before the first round of assessment. For this reason, a considerable part of the work can only be undertaken by teachers. Including hunting, adding some meat to the daily food, and suppressing the monsters and uncivilized races around the magic tower.
There is no way, this is the character of living things. When an ecosystem is out of balance, creatures from other places will move in to restore the original balance. Unless this ecosystem is closed, or some species suddenly arrives that has no natural enemies here.
If those two conditions cannot be met, the reality is that the demon wolf that killed a family today will be followed by demon tigers and leopards in a few days to occupy the territory. After all, the Lost World is still the power of nature, far exceeding the overall power of Homo sapiens. At least unlike whales, pandas, and Tibetan antelopes on Earth, I have never heard of any species in the Lost Lands that is about to be hunted to extinction by humans.
On the other hand, when approaching the village under the Tower of the Great Sage, Lin You approached secretly, wanting to observe the current situation of the village, but what he saw was an empty village. This was the conclusion that Lin came to after he boldly walked into the village after observing for a long time without seeing a single person.
The most important thing for such a gathering place in the wild is to guard against attacks from monsters or uncivilized races, so the most important thing is to have a thorough defense. Even if there is no city wall protection, there will be a simple wooden fence, which has a more or less protective effect. And the structure of the house must be very solid, to the extent that ordinary monsters cannot break it.
Judging from the current structure of the houses in the village, it does not look like they were attacked by barbarian races, and they are generally still intact. Lin was guessing that it should be a continuation of the previous incident. Although the population composition of the village is unknown, more than 40 young and strong laborers have been lost. It may not be easy for the remaining people to make a living in such a barbaric place.
In addition, false accusations have occurred. According to the attitude of the Magicians Association, the normal situation is to punish those people with false accusations. Based on the charges at that time, it is not impossible for the inspectors to actually launch a massacre of the village. But there is a greater possibility of just driving that group of people away and not allowing them to continue to live in the territory of the Tower of the Great Sage.
The law does not punish everyone. This is also the case in the Lost World, but it is not without punishment, so expelling that group of people and leaving their lives is considered a reasonable punishment. And whether he kills him or drives him away, he will still look like this.
Don't think that there will be corpses after killing. If you didn't look at the forty-six corpses hanging outside the tower, they would have been eaten until only the bones were left; or the whole person was taken away, leaving only half an empty body. Knotted rope. Thinking about it, even if this village was really slaughtered, it would probably just be a feast for the beasts in the forest.
Although the fate of the survivors was not determined, Lin no longer cared about this nonsense after seeing the results in front of him. The starry sky at night is still the main focus of my research. The computerization work of the energy pool is also in full swing. The calculation function, especially the calculation of floating point numbers, still has considerable room for improvement in accuracy.
