Chapter 233: Cute Little Trouble
> Christina just smiled at the octagonal cat and didn't answer her straightforward news. CaiHonGWeNXue.
Christina remembered the contemptuous appearance of the black-robed mage just now, and suddenly became a little more impatient - what, is it really hypocritical to play the trick of looking at the thatched house with one hand?
Christina finally lost her patience and said to the black-robed mage solemnly, "Mr. Octagonal Cat, with all due respect, this is not the time to perform some hypocritical tricks that you and I both know well. By the time I wanted to bring you and your people out of Darklight, the Century Guild had already shown its sincerity, and it would be rude for you to tempt you like this. If Mr. Octagonal Cat really doesn't want to speak out, I think you can leave here for a while, after all, we still have some things to talk about with President Maksim. ”
The octagonal cat touched his chin and laughed silently.
"Little girl, things are not yet irreparable, and you have lost all patience, which is not good—" said the octagonal cat, "Obviously, the family of Mantofil does not trust me, but in fact I trust you?" If you want me to say, you still have an inexplicable sense of superiority, as if you were from a big family. The octagonal cat whispered, "As if it was my honor to come to help the Century Guild." ”
The octagonal cat's expression became a little serious: "You said that the Century Guild had already shown sincerity when they sent someone to Darklight City to contact me?" I didn't see that the men spoke in a tone that was like a servant—perhaps. For the Mantofil family, you always think of your employees as servants, both in online games and in the real world. You know, even now, I'm still not a member of the Century Guild. Little girl, as I said a long time ago, the tricks of the big family will not work here, and since the people of your family are so incompetent that you need to ask me to advise you, I really don't know where your arrogance comes from. You are like those ruined aristocrats of the Middle Ages, who are so poor that they can't eat. But the shelves are quite high, hehe. ”
The octagonal cat said, stood up, and said lightly: "Your attitude, I don't like it, I originally planned to come to cooperate with Century today, but now I look at it, there is no need." ”
"So, Mr. Jack. Beautiful young lady, I hope you can have a pleasant conversation with President Maksim. I'm not here to get in the way. The octagonal cat smiled politely and turned to walk out the door.
Jack said coldly: "The ability is not small, but the temper is quite big." ”
Seeing the black-robed mage turn around, Christina hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Say I'm impatient, is it that Sir's patience is good?" ”
"What are you really trying to say?" The octagonal cat turned to look at Christina, and Jack was ignored.
"I think there is some truth in your words, we have a hard time trusting each other." Christina looked into the eyes of the black-robed mage: "The Mantofield family needs to prove to you that they are Liu Xuande, and you need to prove to the Mantofield family that they are Zhuge Kongming." In the process of proofing. I hope we can all be patient. Jack's resentment of you is not unreasonable, after all, in Darklight, you are almost no match for Poseidon at all. This proof is a reciprocal process, and it would be too harsh to ask only the Mantofield family to prove themselves. ”
"It turns out that there is still an interview." The octagonal cat smiled self-deprecatingly: "Okay then, I'd like to hear the exam questions." ”
"I can't talk about exams, but I just hope that Mr. Octagon can show a talent that can impress me, and I think it's not difficult for you to do this at all." Christina said sincerely. "Let's just take it as small talk—what is the reason why Mr. Octagon thinks the Mantofields are so embarrassed?" …,
"Reason. That's too much. The octagonal cat sat back down, "The Chinese attribute the influencing factors of a war to the right time, place and people; The SWOT method of analysis attributes the success or failure of a matter to four factors: S, W, O, and T. When I teach my students SWOT, I use Mantofeld as an example. All things are at a disadvantage, and it's hard to believe that the Mantofeld family can achieve even the slightest commendable achievement in the gaming world. ”
Christina was undoubtedly unpleasant at what she said, but she didn't show it, just gave Maksim an apologetic look and apologized for her slack. Then he asked, "Could you please tell me about the specific situation?" ”
"Let's put it this way, analyze it from the perspective of the right time, place and people." The octagonal cat talked eloquently: "The time of day." Now is not a good time for a chaebol to enter the gaming world. You have heard about what King Norte did back then, in the entire history of the game. There has never been a time when the big chaebols have been hated by almost all professional gamers. Even if Mantofield has any achievements in the future, Tony will not like you, as long as you say a word, the overthrow of Century will be a blink of an eye. The location is favorable, the dragon clan is also not a good place to develop a guild, the relationship between tiger and poseidon is so iron, no one in the entire dragon clan is the opponent of the two of them at all, and Wanghai Cliff is not a suitable city for developing a guild. What is really suitable for the stable development of a guild is a small city like Thundercloud City, Blackwing City, and Darklight City. Wanghai Cliff is destined to be a place of right and wrong, and it is simply not wise to put your base camp here. If you have to compare it, it is as if this is a medieval game, the six forces are divided into two camps for a big melee, and the melee location is the home of one of the forces. After that, no matter who wins or loses, the one who loses the most must be the side that has the most to lose at home. The small guild took root in Wanghai Cliff because it wanted to seek profit from the chaos, hoping to be able to develop and grow, and there was no need for the big guild to take this risk.
"The right time is not as good as the right place. The location is not as good as the people, and in terms of people and people, the Century Guild is extremely poor. The octagonal cat commented unceremoniously: "The management is incompetent, the guild is scattered, all the members are gathered with interests, the guild is scattered and the atmosphere is indifferent." Because the rabble gathered by interests will only scatter because of interests in the end. The most unforgivable thing is that CENTURY does not have a chief IEC, which is simply unimaginable. A guild leader actually has the final say. It is as ridiculous as if a country with a presidential republic has no president, or a parliamentary country without a prime minister. A long, long time ago, basically all guilds were already the monopoly of the chief IEC, and the management of the Century guild was nearly two generations behind, which is simply ...... Hmph, forget it, there's no need to say ugly words. That's what I meant anyway. ”
Jack and Christina looked at each other and smiled wryly.
"It's also a very helpless thing." Christina sighed, "No IEC of the world is willing to come to CENTURY, and they all hate CENTURY's reputation...... You know the truth. ”
"Nonsense. That's not the reason, it's because of your prejudices. The octagonal cat said unceremoniously: "Do you really think that CENTURY is some kind of great guild that can allow Tiger or IEC of the level of 1Q24 to come and play?" For the game world, the Century Guild is just a baby, and you look for the world-level IEC at every turn, which is like a nouveau riche promising a lot of money to ask the federal president to be a golf caddie for him, do you think the president will agree? To put it mildly, it's actually your arrogance. I think I'm good, but I'm nothing. The octagonal cat sneered, "Ande, I remember this man, Ande, he worked in the Century, right?" This is an old player, and there are more than 50 rankings in the world, why don't you let him be the IEC of the century? Why do you only want him to be the head of the progress group? ”…,
"But ANDE isn't an IEC at all!" Jack retorted, "And he's here to make retirement money." ”
"If you want me to say, it's still the same metaphor." Octagonal raised his voice: "Ande's willingness to come to the century to retire is a good thing for Mantofei's family, it's like although the nouveau riche didn't invite the federal president to be a caddy for him." But he invited the director of the British Human Resources Agency to be a caddie for himself. The result? You really use people like caddies. What is this not bias? You think Ande is incapable? Let me tell you, don't look at the ranking of the Ande World Realm, which is only more than fifty, which is not the top player, but his ability alone is worthy of ten of your ridiculous think tanks. Do you know what a professional gamer is? Professional gamers are people who have the highest IQ in the world who have devoted their lives to studying games, and Ande is about to retire, and he has been studying games for half his life, don't you know what a precious resource this is? To be able to do such a thing as a cold reception. I really can't understand why Century didn't end up in such a messy situation, can you tell me why? Are you nouveau riche fearless? I've heard that the Ande has brought you the only merit order for the Dragons right now. Even such an achievement does not make you take it seriously. ”
The octagonal cat's words become more and more mean, but Jack and Christina have nothing to say.
We continued. This is from the perspective of the right time, place and people. If the SWOT analysis method is used, then the Century guild will make more mistakes. The octagonal cat said lightly: "I have to congratulate you, the Century Guild has made a lot of contributions to the study of SWOT analysis. Before Century, when I was teaching game theory, situational and policy analysis, my students asked me what kind of SWOT cases were sure to fail, and I couldn't give examples. But now I can tell them, go and do an analysis for the Century Guild, and you will know what a no-hope case is. I don't want to say that the Century Guild has no advantages at all, but judging from the current rhythm and environment, the Century Guild has its own advantages, but the final result must be a failure. ”
“ok,ok。” Christina said depressedly, "No need to continue...... I think you've analyzed this question thoroughly enough. Then I would like to ask. If you were the chief IEC of the Century Guild, how would you lead the guild to defeat Dark and defeat Poseidon ? ”
"Victory over Poseidon? Defeat Dark? The octagonal cat laughed: "With such thoughts, I can only say, beautiful young lady, you are still too young and naïve." In other words, your concept is so simple, as if you have traveled back in time from the era of 500 years ago. Your thinking has completely failed to keep up with the requirements of the times, you are so young, but you are already an old antique.
"If you understand the abilities of Poseidon and if you know the pace of development of modern online game guilds," the octagonal cat continued, "I promise you won't have this kind of ...... Stupidity? Well, this weird thought. This has nothing to do with whether Poseidon is strong or not at all - of course Poseidon is very powerful - I can only say that during the Flood Period, the means of a guild to fight for supremacy was to suppress the opponent, and except for this stage. The goal of a guild is to tap into its own potential. Our priority is to make ourselves better, not to make our competitors worse. Without losing their own development potential and prospects, they can suppress their potential competitors. That's what we're supposed to do.
"Look at the Dark Guild, even if Dark is an enemy, you have to learn from the enemy's experience." The octagonal cat calmly analyzed, "Has the Dark Guild ever made any moves against Century?" ”
Jack and Christina were shocked.
Yes, although they always felt that Dark was a cunning and dangerous enemy, this enemy never seemed to have done anything to them...... Occasionally, there are a few conflicts.,It's just ......... dark is firing a map cannon.
"Because Dark knows that." "They know that making themselves stronger is much more important than making their opponents weaker," the octagonal cat said. Wake up, the guild melee is about to begin, look at the current dark, and then look at the other guilds of the dragons. Hum. Poseidon is smart, he knows when to do what to do and when not to do it. Why did he keep planting the sea cliffs and stirring up disputes? Because this does not require the consumption of one's own strength, it can weaken the strength of competitors. ”
A chill rose up Christina's spine, and she stood up, bowed shallowly to the octagonal, and said, "But sir, the form is so bad now. Is there any hope for the Guild of the Century? ”
"Yes." A cynical smile appeared at the corner of the octagonal cat's mouth: "It's just that it needs a major operation." The first thing that needs to be changed is the guild system, the president has the final say, and the think tank makes decisions, which is ridiculous. You need a great high-end leader like me. ”
At this moment, the immodesty of the octagonal cat no longer aroused Christina's disgust, and this clever woman realized that the black-robed mage in front of her was definitely not a simple character, so she asked bluntly: "Mr. Octagonal Cat, I want to know the way." Or rather, I want a commitment. If I asked you to serve as the IEC for the Century Guild, what would you be able to bring to the Century Guild? ”
"I'll be able to keep the Century Guild alive." The octagonal cat said succinctly.
"Survive......" Christina asked, confused.
"I can guarantee it. After the guild melee, the Century guild was still able to survive. Octagonal Cat explained.
Jack said in astonishment: "Survive - Mr. Octagonal Cat, with the financial support of the Mantofield family, it is a person who can ensure the survival of the Century Guild, you-"
"Do you really think so?" The octagonal cat sneered: "Is the current Century Guild really alive?" If you call this alive, hehe. ”
"I see." Christina said decisively: "Then, I officially extend an invitation to Mr. Octagonal Cat, hoping that you can be the chief IEC of the Century Guild. ”
"As you wish, charming lady." The octagonal cat seemed to suddenly remember something: "Oh, by the way, I also left some small trouble for the dark guild in Darklight City, I wonder if a few people are interested?" ”
Christina was a little shocked when she heard this, but also a little expectant: "Trouble? What's the trouble? ”
"Nail household." The octagonal cat blinked.
The black-robed mage looked in the direction of Darklight City.
Those mediocre people are not useless, at least they are easily incited and demagogic, and with just a few words, they can be decided.
I'm curious...... Posedon, do you have a headache?
