Tapping his index finger on the table, an upright water mirror and keyboard projection appeared in front of Lin. The three presidents took a look and asked quickly: "Sir, what is that 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 occasionally guests come to visit, and sometimes two of my own students need to use it. It’s unreasonable for them to always take up my core room research time. So right here in the restaurant, open the terminal interface to the energy pool.──”
While speaking, Lin enlarged the water mirror in front of him, extended it to the width of his open arms, and threw it onto the blank wall next to the long table. So that everyone can see the screen display.
"──Suppose three adults also want to use it. You can also click twice on the desktop to call up the terminal interface. Then log in to your own user account, or browse with guest rights. I want to subpoena President Eaton , I just don’t know how quickly he will respond. Maybe it will take some time.”
When turning on the water mirror technique, the forum page will definitely pop up. To be honest, Lin himself was a little annoyed by it. If you work in your own core room, there will be no such problem of tying up the homepage. But in a restaurant, since most people are using it, fixing the forum page as the homepage is a careful way to force sales.
After closing it, there was a dazzling operation. In fact, it was to call the marked location of President Chengguo Eaton, and then send a paragraph to it. It mainly explains that the presidents of the three regional chapters are at the Tower of the Great Sage, hoping to discuss matters related to the mall system.
Looking at the typing skills with flying fingers and the operations that were incomprehensible, the three presidents were speechless for a while. It feels like you are very old, but you don't understand what young people are doing, and whether you are living like a dog at this age.
After sending the message, Lin stopped and waited. After all, not everyone will wait by their own energy pool, nor will anyone respond immediately when notified. The other three people also knew this very well, not to mention that no one could guarantee how long the request would actually take for instant contact without an agreed time.
However, the three presidents opened their respective forum pages without being impolite, and each lowered his head to operate. The Internet stickiness of the Lost World has not reached the morbid level of the Earth, and the self-control of three powerful old people is not comparable to that of young people. So they still chose to chat with the tower owner, although their words began to sound a bit prying. Make someone suffer even more.
Just when I was thinking about whether to use urine or feces to escape. The water mirror technique screen thrown on the wall suddenly flashed, and the familiar old face filled the entire screen again. Although Lin was still frightened, he felt grateful for the first time. As for the three people opposite, they seemed to be used to the old man's style, and they were very calm, without any shock.
"Hey, in my memory, I have never seen such a scene, with three presidents sitting side by side. Isn't it a pity that I am not here at this time. I heard that you want to discuss the mall system with me It's something, but it doesn't look like you want to talk to me." Cheng Guo Eaton fired as soon as he appeared.
Compared with the battle of words, the three elderly people were not at all inferior to the one talking through the screen. The four of them were just carrying guns and sticks, going back and forth. Among the ten sentences, there were three sentences about scraping, three sentences about washing, and three sentences about shooting high, and only one sentence had something to do with business. Lin was left alone, unable to say a word.
Looking at this scene, Lin thought to himself, luckily there was a video screen between them. If they were face to face, there wouldn't be a fight. But when they are face to face, can they really fight? This is another question.
As a bystander, while wandering nine heavens away, Lin was suddenly brought back to earth by a question. President Chenguo Eaton's eyes widened and he asked angrily: "Sir Tripwood, what is your opinion?"
"My opinion?" How dare I have any opinion? Lin, who really wanted to shout and call it quits, was made weak by the four pairs of staring eyes. At this time, I don’t know if asking everyone what they were arguing about just now is considered an insult. However, although he did not listen to the content in detail, Lin could not find an entry point for both parties who had their own opinions and did not want to give in at all.
"Four presidents, in fact, I think their concerns and persistence are very reasonable. The only difference lies in their different positions. If you ask me, I will talk to you from different angles. That is From the standpoint of a magician being served by the Chamber of Commerce, it would be more beneficial for us to know what the association should do."
After throwing out a question, Lin carefully looked at everyone's expressions. Seeing that there was not much disgust and contempt, Lin continued: "As an ordinary magician, the most beneficial and convenient situation for me is that I can use the mall system to purchase or reserve what I need. Things. It doesn’t actually matter who this system belongs to. But for the association, there is a difference. Is it a mall system that serves the people of the entire Southwest Peninsula; or is it a mall system serving the people of the entire Southwest Peninsula? Or is it each of the four regional chapters? Build a shopping mall to serve people in their respective districts; or without restrictions, the royal families and noble chambers of commerce in various countries will also build shopping malls and then compete with each other. Of course, the last option is the most undesirable and will not be discussed here. Okay. So what’s the difference between the first two?──”
In front of everyone, Lin used the water mirror technique to open another screen, enlarged it, and spread it flat on the table. The picture was a map of the southwestern peninsula of the mainland. It was not very detailed. It was a map sold by the Magicians Association to magicians for their adventures. Several presidents recognized it at a glance. But what he did next made everyone's eyes brighten. Lin grabbed a red, white and blue color block out of thin air and covered it on the map, fitting the outline of the peninsula. At the same time, he stretched out his hand a little, and five connected small magic towers were erected at the location of the Five Linked City.
"──The biggest advantage of having one shopping mall system serve the entire peninsula is that it can effectively integrate the resources of the entire peninsula. But no matter which plan it is.──" As Lin Guo said, President Chengguo Eaton smiled happily. , and the other three presidents frowned, threw away the red, white, and blue blocks, and put on the yellow, white, and red blocks and the magic tower marking the headquarters of the Cadiz District Chapter.
The faces of the four presidents all changed, some were happy and some were worried. But Lin immediately threw away the color blocks, then put on the green, yellow, red and Leon District Chapter Headquarters, and then threw it again, and finally put on the red, green and red blocks, and erected a small magic tower representing the Noonan District Chapter Headquarters .
"──These situations all have the same shortcomings. Transaction contracts can be concluded quickly through malls and forums; however, transporting goods still has to rely on traditional methods, either manpower or animal power. In other words, when transporting Speed-wise, we haven’t improved.”
After changing four times in a row, several presidents also noticed 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 current shipping model of the Chamber of Commerce is to concentrate first and then ship. No matter which district headquarters you start from, the most remote tower is mainly waiting for you. The goods I purchase have to wait for about four months to half a year. Looking at this from the perspective of a tower owner, maybe I buy things much faster, but the wait for delivery to my door is longer than before. Be slow."
Throw away the red, green and red color blocks on the map, and clear all the small magic towers at the same time. Lin Cai used the final template, which was based on the current division of the four district chapters in the southwest peninsula, with respective color blocks. Lin continued: "As far as I know, the reason why the Magician Association is divided into so many regions today is based on regionality and support distance. So keeping it as it is can be considered a good choice. Tower owners in the border areas The shopping mall in which area you choose to trade with depends on the habits of each tower owner. After all, some people don't care about waiting for a longer time, but they hope to get a cheaper price. Some people hope to get the purchase in a faster time. Items, no matter how much you pay for them.”
Such a proposal made the three presidents who came from afar smile, but their old man frowned. Of course Lin knew the reason, but it was just that he felt that the profits were being divided thinly, and that he had worked so long to make wedding dresses for others.
Of course, if the words could only be said to this extent, Lin would not dare to speak, and it would be a waste of his time as a member of the time travel group. In the earth period, he was a man who had been baptized by the Internet. He yelled, "But!" and instantly drew everyone's attention back to him. Lin Cai continued:
"I mentioned at the beginning that using forums and shopping malls to integrate the resources of the entire southwest peninsula is also an advantage that cannot be ignored. Just like myself, I ordered arcane materials for building towers from the Chamber of Commerce to which the Xijia District branch belongs. Although most of the materials for the eye were delivered as soon as possible, there are still a few auxiliary materials missing. So although my arcane eye building is built, it is incomplete. Maybe, I mean maybe Integrating the information on rare resources in the four districts of the Southwest Peninsula, the accessories I need can be found in three districts outside Xijia District. So now I am just waiting for the items to be delivered, rather than finding out where I need them. The status of the materials, or replacement items, is not yet known.”
Taking this as the beginning of a turning point did not seem to arouse the resentment of several big figures, but made them face up to the necessity of resource integration. Lin Ye dared to put forward the next opinion: "Then can we say that after the establishment of the mall system in each district, the resource scheduling of each district will still be given priority. But if we encounter rare items that are also lacking in this district, we will Demands are reported to a unit that integrates information from the four districts, and this ad hoc unit dispatches resources. Sometimes when an emergency occurs, the chariots and horse teams of each chamber of commerce are responsible for transporting and supplying strategic materials, so when a multi-district coalition is established After that, can this special unit also be responsible for assigning material transportation matters?──”
The four presidents' eyes lit up at such a proposal. They all know what kind of changes may occur to such a unit that is superior to the four districts, and they all have ideas. However, Lin Ke had no intention of letting a few old people fight over each other. He said directly:
"──As for this special unit, I suggest that the affiliated chamber of commerce of the Xijia District Chapter take over the role. The reason is of course that they were the first to go online with the mall system, so they have naturally accumulated a lot of experience in handling affairs. When encountering this kind of cross-district Of course, the first thing to do when dealing with matters is to be on the safe side. Don’t rush around and make the buyer unhappy, and the association will take the blame. The above are my opinions on this matter."
