Arcane Lord

What really gives Xia Duo a headache is the dividend sharing with various countries. Although the public computing power pool is established by the alliance, the alliance also relies on the support of various countries, not to mention that the computing power pool itself also requires help from various countries.

If you are unwilling to pay dividends, let alone what will happen at the alliance level, individual countries can directly ban the operation of computing power pools, or establish their own computing power pools to compete with Taiwan.

Of course, the actual situation is that the alliance is composed of various countries, and it is the countries that have the final say. There is no other choice at all about whether to pay dividends or not.

What Xia Duo can do is to keep the dividend ratio as low as possible and leave enough research funds for Lingsi Network Research Center, not only for the present, but also for the future.

However, he is not completely passive. He still has a great say in the operation of computing power pools and Lingsi Network research. Therefore, at a practical level, he only needs to convince the permanent alliance representatives of various countries.

There is no need to go from country to country and persuade one by one. At the same time, he and the alliance representatives are in the same camp to a certain extent - although they have the status of each country, they are also members of the alliance staff.

Since they have come to the alliance and become the actual top leaders of the alliance, they definitely hope that the alliance can develop well, so it is very important to retain the income from the computing power pool at the alliance level.

There is a saying in Xia Duo's hometown that "the economic base determines the superstructure." If the alliance is entirely supported by allocations from various countries, it may inevitably become a puppet manipulated by various countries. However, if the alliance has its own economic sources, it can get rid of the control of various countries to a certain extent. .

Of course, it is only to a certain extent that it is freed from control. The alliance is essentially controlled by various countries. If it is completely freed from control, it is unlikely that Xia Duo's thoughts will be realized.

After all, countries cannot tolerate the emergence of an uncontrolled so-called alliance in the North.

In fact, without the support of various countries, the alliance's greatest legal rationale is lost. Even if the alliance itself is rich, it has no meaning. It is nothing more than a slightly larger chamber of commerce.

…

Xia Duo is not too anxious when it comes to handling the income sharing of the computing power pool and the sharing of each country. On the one hand, this matter cannot be rushed, and on the other hand, he is also prepared to wait for the actual operation of the computing power pool for a period of time.

If there is a big deviation in the previous forecast of expected income, and the actual income is far less than the forecast, if a sharing agreement is signed in advance, once the profit after sharing is not enough to cover the future expenditure of the research center, he will have to make up for the shortfall. ?

This is certainly impossible.

So Xia Duo now only sent his assistant Charles to explore the opinions of representatives from various countries, which can be regarded as a foreshadowing in advance. At the same time, he also used the existence of the Tia business group to put pressure on other suppliers and successfully signed a formal agreement. Cooperation Agreement.

…

May 25, year 840 of the Nese calendar.

This is a day worth remembering in history. The Northland Alliance’s computing power pool project under the leadership of Xia Duo has finally reached a critical node—

Officially operational!

Shado announced the news through various means such as Alliance Mystery Lock and Everesca Announcement.

At the same time, after nearly ten days of overtime work, the cooperative suppliers of Lingsi Network Research Center have also produced a batch of new computing power pool connectors.

Especially for the Tia Chamber of Commerce, according to Xia Duo's mass production design plan, although it took some time to renovate the workshop and trial production, making the actual production time shorter than other chambers of commerce, the actual output efficiency is much higher than that of other chambers of commerce. Chamber of Commerce.

It is almost 4 times as much, and this is not the limit. In theory, it can be up to ten times the original efficiency!

Of course, under Sha Duo's strong request, the Dia business group also increased the wages of the magic technicians in the workshop by at least twice what it had been in the past.

Even if Xia Duo didn't mention it, the Tia Merchant Group would raise wages to absorb mature technicians from other workshops in order to expand production, but setting the minimum wage was indeed Xia Duo's intention.

To the workers, not to the Tia trade group.

As of Xiaduo's public announcement that the computing power pool was officially put into operation, the number of connectors produced has reached as many as 120,000, and this number is still rising at a slow rate.

The reason why it is 120,000 is mainly because of the number of official mages in the northern countries. The total number should be around 500,000. The proportion in the elven countries is higher and the total number is the largest, followed by other countries. (Real mages, those who have sporadic mastery of some spell power are not counted)

Even the apprentice level below the official mage has the most elves.

but-

Compared with the total population of the Northland Alliance countries, which totaled over 100 million, 500,000 official mages only accounted for 0.5%. This ratio can be said to be quite low, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a drop in the bucket.

This may be the limit of the classical era!

From this we can also see the huge potential of the Northland, not only the potential for the development of magic, but also the huge potential of the magic weapon sales market.

But in order to fully realize these potentials, the premise is to popularize magic and develop industrialization. The Northland has actually reached a key node in its development.

In particular, the establishment of the Northland Alliance increased the possibility of change.

It can be said that in the current Northland, whichever country can complete the popularization of magic first can quickly overwhelm the other countries with the power of one country.

But the reality is that the popularization of magic cannot be carried out in secret. Other countries will follow quickly even if it is a little slower. It can even be said that the future of the Northland has been determined from the moment the concept of popularizing magic appeared.

There will always be lords and countries who want to try it. After all, this is indeed a good way to quickly consolidate national strength.

The only exception is that all the superiors have reached an agreement, and UU Reading www.uukanｈｈｕｎ will jointly suppress the arrival of this kind of progress in the future, but the problem is that Xia Duo is here, and it has developed to the point where it is not difficult to suppress at will.

In fact, even if Xia Duo does not exist, if one of the so-called superiors is slightly ambitious, sees the benefits of popularizing magic, and wants to achieve some grand goals, the popularization of magic will definitely spread.

But it’s hard to say how long it will take. Anyway, it will definitely become popular.

…

From now on, Xia Duo will continue to order connectors from various suppliers. Expanding the computing power pool is only one aspect. More importantly, through this method, it will stimulate various large chambers of commerce to find ways to increase the number of mages.

At present, there are only about 500,000 official mages in various countries in the North. The foreseeable connector market is so large. Even if the loss of magical instruments in the later period is added, the number that needs to be replenished will not be too much.

Although it is impossible for a computing power pool connector to be passed down through three generations, it does not require maintenance every three days. In fact, the service life is at least one month, and this is under continuous use.

If you don't use it continuously, it won't be a problem if you use it for a year or two. (End of chapter)
