Remember in a second【】

Uzov Gantia noticed it when the market was close to saturation. The main reason is that the sales business began to use methods such as rebates, discounts and promotions, hoping to improve personal performance. The craftsmen, on the other hand, use the method of naming customers to 'give back' some of the profits they should have been due to the buyer, avoiding the unified pricing of the technical guild, and increasing the sales of their products or services.

Unified external pricing can be regarded as a method for the technical association to maintain a fair distribution of profits among internal personnel. The way to earn more is to do more. How much you pay, how much you can gain, this is a method that everyone agrees on.

But when there are not so many jobs and internal price competition methods are used to maintain their own profits, it is inevitable that some technical guilds will encounter gray areas that are not clearly defined at the beginning of their establishment.

Although Uzov didn't know the relevant economic theories, he looked at the competition among the artisans below as an integrator, and he had an intuition that this was not a good thing. Although it can be strongly stipulated that everyone is prohibited from doing so. But he is very clear that once this kind of thing starts, it is difficult to completely ban it. Because judging from the statistical data within the technical guild, the total amount of work has indeed decreased.

So Uzov quickly approached Shang Lin, the actual founder of the technical guild and the guild's development consultant.

The solution given by Lin is actually very simple, which is to radiate the technical guild market from the holy city of Estali. Outside the Holy City, there are countless nobles and wealthy merchants, and of course they also have needs. It is like a blank market, waiting for people to explore.

However, such a solution, how could no one have thought of it. The reason for restricting the actions of the people in the technical guild is actually the internal rules of the guild itself for unified pricing.

Uniform pricing does not mean that all goods and services sold by the guild are at exactly the same price. Instead, there is a complex pricing method similar to mathematical calculation formulas.

Within the guild, there is a division of skill levels for craftsmen, so for craftsmen of different levels, from apprentices to master craftsmen, of course there are different shooting costs. Different numbers of hands have different prices. What level of goods, and supporting objects, of course, have their own prices and different price increases.

But this set of calculation methods is completely set up for the customers of the holy city of Estali. Once you leave the holy city, there will be some additional costs. For example, the time spent on the road will not generate profits, and the guards who must be hired to pass through dangerous places will make work useless. profitable. Since there is no interest, naturally no one wants to take over.

Occasionally, some people who cannot be ignored make requests for entrustment. For example, the Grand Duke of Kavi wants to improve the entrustment of his own territory and castle. Most of the technical guilds deal with it in a project-based manner, and they usually lose money and make money.

For the additional loss of the participants, for example, due to business trips to the territory of Kavigong, there will be a few days wasted on the road and unable to work. This part is partially subsidized by the guild to make up for lost income.

But the subsidy will never be more than the income of the craftsmen themselves. Therefore, this type of work can be carried out because of the promotion of one person after another, rather than purely commercial interests. …

But if the cost of travel and guards is added to the guild's pricing formula today, it simply means that the extra cost of leaving the holy city of Estalí will be passed on to the consumers, maintaining the profits of the laborers, that is, the guild members; Even according to the distance, there is still room for floating. In this way, is it possible that such a large technology guild cannot find pioneers who have an adventurous spirit and expand outward?

Of course there are conservatives who are only willing to do the inner work of the holy city of Estali. But there are more people who are willing to follow the footsteps of profits, choose to go out of the Holy City, and expand their work and business scope. As for the fact that consumers outside the holy city think it is too expensive, it is completely meaningless. In the so-called oligopoly or even monopoly market, the pricing power rests with the seller, and the buyer can only accept it passively.

The technology guild's expansion outside the holy city has also led to the development of three industries. One is the sales of cars, and the other two industries can also be regarded as one, that is, the employment business of the Adventurer's Guild and the Mercenary Guild.

Regardless of whether it is the business personnel or craftsmen of the guild, as long as the road conditions permit, they will still use cars and trucks as their main means of transportation. And these means of transportation are like live advertisements. Everywhere they go, they will arouse the interest of local nobles and wealthy businessmen. Because cars don't require quite meticulous care like horses, and the advantages of being able to transport them in large quantities can be seen by anyone who is not blind.

For the business sales staff of the technical guild, one more product handled means an extra commission, and no one would refuse it.

As for the dangers that may be encountered on the journey away from the holy city of Estali, such as the infestation of thieves and monsters. Although craftsmen can turn the tools in their hands into weapons at any time, and smash the hammer used to hammer nails on the enemy's head, they are not full-time fighters after all, and they are familiar with the habits of monsters or the methods of thieves. It is already a consensus within the technical guild to find professional people.

Although the guild has members of the Turtledove Alliance as thugs, they have exhausted all their energy just to deal with internal affairs and defend against back arrows from the holy city of Estali. Powerless to follow the footsteps of the guild members expanding outwards, guarding their safety. So this job fell to the Adventurer's Guild and the Mercenary Guild, and this was the original business scope of the two guilds.

However, the quality of the members of the Adventurer's Guild and the Mercenary Guild is inherently mixed, and it is inevitable that some outsiders who don't know the details will take over the commission of the guards. When members of the technology guild complete a well-paid commission, the adventurers or mercenaries who were supposed to protect their return journey may take advantage of the money and make some irrational and contract-breaking actions.

the behavior of.

In fact, there have been several vicious incidents in which craftsmen who returned to the holy city on business trips were all killed. Some murderers even dared to return to the Holy City to squander their ill-gotten gains in taverns or brothels.

Don't think that these people are all from the Adventurer's Guild or the Mercenary Guild. The two major guilds have no way to make a proper guarantee for the moral character of their members. The vast majority of evaluations only look at strength. The arrests issued for criminal punishments are the affairs of the local lords, not the scope of the two major guilds. …

Despite these vicious incidents, as long as the Turtledove Alliance is used, the perpetrator can always be found and revenge can be completed. But Uzov believed that such a passive action could easily dampen the enthusiasm of his own guild members. Because they not only need to prevent outsiders from robbing, but also guard against the coveting and even mutiny of the guards who should belong to them.

In the case of an unfriendly overall environment, it is possible that the technical guild will eventually be blocked in the holy city of Estaria, limiting the development of the guild.

Perhaps the members of the Turtledove Alliance could be trusted, but Uzov knew very well that the work of the members of the Alliance for the Technology Guild was only a short stop in their journey and could not become a lifelong career. Coupled with the coming and going of alliance members, the number of members staying in the technical guild is simply not enough to cope with the huge demand for manpower.

Establishing a military force dedicated to the technical guild can not only ensure the innocence of each soldier's origin, but also guarantee its loyalty better than the temporary staff of the adventurer guild or mercenary guild. This seems to be a correct method, but how much does it cost to raise a qualified army?

Even if this price is passed on to the goods and services sold by the guild, considering that the foundation of the technical guild is in the holy city of Estaria, a city dominated by magicians, will such force cause magicians? Unnecessary suspicion? Scattered adventurers and mercenaries are fundamentally different from the army after all. The former may be ignored by those in power, but the latter is absolutely impossible.

As for the long-term employment of magicians, just think about the idea of ​​​​establishing an armed group. It is impossible to come true in this city.

The technical guild has always been positioned to gather the lowest-level workers in the Holy City so that they can perform better and produce better products. To put it simply, it is an auxiliary role that allows Faye to live a more comfortable life.

What would happen if one day serfs turned into landlords and craftsmen became bosses of magicians? There is no peaceful evolution of class revolution, it must be accompanied by blood, and it may not necessarily be successful.

At that time, it won't be the end of anything that can be returned to its original shape, and the price that may be paid will be unimaginable. As a member of the Turtledove League against the elite class, Uzov is well aware of the pros and cons of this.

That's why Uzov Gantia came to ask Lin for his opinion, to see if he had a better way.

After hearing the cause and effect, Lin couldn't help but sigh with emotion. This is not a matter of how much profit or how many times the profit lures people to commit crimes, but when a large amount of benefits can be easily obtained from those around them, and the rule of law is not perfect in the lost world, it is easy for people to go astray.

The consciousness of "rabbits don't eat grass next to their nests"~www.wuxiaspot.com~ doesn't exist in Midi. Even if the technical guild has the military support of the Turtledove Alliance, it can take revenge on any vicious behavior against the guild without any omission. But in fact, every once in a while, someone thinks they can do whatever they want without paying a price, do something heinous, and then get killed by their allies.

Speaking of it, even in the society ruled by law before I traveled, there are still people who are lucky enough to commit all kinds of outrageous crimes, let alone Midi, a world where power is the most important thing. It is impossible to ban such things, we can only find ways to reduce the incentives for such things to happen.

…

Thinking of this, someone suddenly had the feeling of turning around and returning to the original point. It seems that the things I encounter around me can easily lead to the same need.

The best solution to the crimes caused by revealing money is to allow money to be carried and transported in a safer way, making it more difficult for thieves and robbers to rob. After all, it is not surprising to be robbed of carrying a large number of gold, silver and copper coins in the market.

"It's all coming together," Lin said, rubbing the stubble of his chin.
