Chapter 188: Cooperation

At noon, Ouyang Shuo was in the lord's mansion and held a banquet to entertain Xie Siyun and his party. He had already received Sun Xiaoyue's reply www.biquge.info he knew that in the afternoon, Sun Xiaoyue would lead a group of players to Shanhai County.

The players brought by Sun Xiaoyue are divided into two parts.

The most important thing is, of course, the team of experts that Ouyang Shuo has been looking forward to. A total of 30 experts, involving shipbuilding, metallurgy, economics, chemistry, medicine, machinery, engineering, agriculture and other specialties.

Thirty top experts, including their relatives, a total of 150 people. Each expert is assigned a 2,000-square-meter courtyard.

The second part is the members of the [Falling Moon Society], who are also dragging their families.

Before the deadline, there were a total of 400 members of the [Falling Moon Club]. When Sun Xiaoyue announced that Shanhai County was willing to accept members of the [Falling Moon Society], there were 350 people on the spot who were willing to settle in Shanhai County.

The remaining 50 people have already gained a foothold in Wangcheng and are unwilling to move their positions. As the so-called ways are different, they don't conspire with each other, and those who don't want to go are all met by Sun Xiaoyueqing.

The members of the [Falling Moon Society], dragging their families and mouths, are a total of 1,850 people. Coupled with the 150 people in the expert group, the players who teleported from Dali are a total of 2,000 people.

There are six core members of the [Falling Moon Society], namely the alchemist's autumn leaves, the bridge designer Wuchi, the municipal engineer's drawing board, the mapper's nine-dash line, plus Sun Xiaoyue's former roommates Qin Ruo and Pan Qiaoqiao. As for the boyfriends of the two, because they are combat professions, they are only classified as ordinary members.

The core members were placed in the official residence area by Ouyang Shuo, and each person was assigned a courtyard covering an area of 1,000 square meters. The remaining members of the [Falling Moon Society] were placed in residential areas, and each person was given a set of ordinary courtyards.

When Sun Xiaoyue settled in Shanhai County, he could no longer be teleported back to Dali. In addition, the headquarters of the peripheral guild [Qingfeng Pavilion] of the Lingxi Studio was in Dali, and Ouyang Shuo simply asked her to withdraw the [Falling Moon Society] from Dali.

In this way, the [Falling Moon Society] will become the first and possibly the only player guild to settle in Shanhai County.

Ouyang Shuo plans that the life professional players recruited by Xue Xue Rose and those who are willing to settle in Shanhai County will also be included in the [Falling Moon Club] and managed in a unified manner.

Sun Xiaoyue came from Dali this time, and brought the gift that Cui Fu entrusted her to hand over to Yingyu.

The gifts were packed in two large wooden boxes, one containing Yingyu's usual jewelry and clothing; The other box was full of 10,000 gold coins.

According to Cui's confession, the 10,000 gold coins were pocket money for Yingyu. Sure enough, it is a big business group, and its wealth is not comparable to the current Shanhai County.

The 10,000 gold coins sent by the family, Yingyu did not stay with him, but deposited them in the Four Seas Bank. This has also become the largest deposit business since the establishment of Sihai Bank.

Seeing that her sister increased her deposit by 10,000 gold coins all of a sudden, Qing'er, a little wealth fan, was secretly envious, and she didn't know when she would be able to have so many deposits.

In fact, with the profitability of the garment workshop, it is only a matter of time before you save enough 10,000 gold coins.

Yingyu deposits money in Sihai Bank, and can get 100 gold coins of interest every month, which is enough for daily expenses.

Sihai Money Bank gets this deposit, as long as it is lent out in time, it can get at least 300 gold coins of interest per month, and it is still compound interest. One in and one out, at least 200 gold coins per month.

This is the way to make money in the four seas.

Yingyu's deposit can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need of Shanhai County.

Ouyang Shuo originally planned to leave a sum of funds in the funds at the end of June to be transferred to Sihai Qian Zhuang to increase the reserves of Sihai Qian Bank. It's a pity that a big purchase will drain the funds.

With the rapid development of the territory's economy, the demand for loans has swelled sharply, and the 1,350 gold coins deposited in mid-May have almost been exhausted, and the lending business can only be maintained by retail deposits.

With this deposit, Sihai Money Bank is enough to support it for a long time.

In addition to the two boxes of gifts, the Cui Mansion also brought a cooperation document, which could take effect immediately as long as Ouyang Shuo agreed. It was agreed in the document that Cui's Chamber of Commerce became the sole agent of Shanhai County in Dali, responsible for selling Shanhai County's specialties and other materials.

Since the system update, the market transaction tax has been reduced to 10%, which is the same as the transaction tax charged on the sale of specialty products in grocery stores. This means that the advantage of the grocery store selling specialty products exclusively will no longer exist, and it is better to place orders through the super trading platform, after all, the market of the super trading platform can be countless times larger than the grocery store system.

In return, the Cui Chamber of Commerce pays an agency fee of 2% of the total annual transaction amount to Shanhai County every year. At the same time, Cui's Chamber of Commerce can also collect all kinds of rare materials for Shanhai County and become Shanhai County's purchasing agent in Dali Mansion.

Cui's Chamber of Commerce's business is to convert the bulk materials purchased from Shanhai County into pieces through their countless shops in Dali, from wholesale to retail, and earn the price difference.

This is a win-win cooperation, Ouyang Shuo did not hesitate and agreed directly.

In the future, Shanhai County sold materials through the super trading platform, and after the pending order, the Cui's Chamber of Commerce made the order by default. Only if the Cui Chamber of Commerce refuses to make an order, it can circulate freely in the market.

Of course, if the Cui's Chamber of Commerce often refuses to make orders, then it will affect the foundation of cooperation between the two sides, this agency model will be challenged, and the cooperation will not be able to continue.

In the afternoon, taking advantage of the gap between settling this group of people, Ouyang Shuo and Xie Siyun had an in-depth conversation about the cooperation between Shanhai County and the Xue Xue Rose Mercenary Group.

The two sides signed a memorandum of cooperation, and Shanhai County and the Mercenaries of the Snow Rose united into a strategic partnership.

The Snow Rose Mercenary Group has the right of first refusal to purchase weapons and equipment in Shanhai County, and at the same time enjoys a nine-percent discount. In return, the Snow Rose Mercenary Group will look for excellent life professional players for Shanhai County in Jianye for a long time, and recruit them to settle in Shanhai County.

Because the two sides are still in their infancy, there is no way to talk about further cooperation, only improvisation.

The Dead Snow Rose Mercenary Group was the first force to obtain Shanhai County coupons, and even the members of the Shanhai Alliance and Tianshuang Town did not have such treatment, which showed Ouyang Shuo's thirst for talents.

Of course, the factor of Aunt Lin Jing cannot be ruled out here, after all, it is a family, and the financial strength of the guild cannot be compared with the territory.

There is a reason why Ouyang Shuo is willing to spend a lot of money to recruit life professional players.

Compared to the skilled talents in the aboriginal group, players have many innate advantages.

There are no qualifications for a player to take a job. When creating a character, the system will automatically give the player a certain talent potential when choosing a class, waiting for the player to develop.

This is actually the same concept as the talent of combat classes. Only one is for combat, the other is for production, and the emphasis is different.

As a result, the life occupations in the player base are much larger than the base of indigenous skilled talents. The skilled talents among the aborigines can only rely on luck and wait for the displaced people to refresh. And players can recruit directly, and the efficiency of the two is naturally incomparable.

Second, compared with the aborigines, it is less difficult for players to break through the bottleneck, and it is easier to cultivate high-skilled talents above the master level. This is also related to the preference of the system, and in the future, life professional gamers will shine in this field.

Of course, players also have flaws.

First, many players can't endure hardship and waste their talent in vain. Take a tailor as an example, if he doesn't get pricked by needles more than a dozen times a day, he is not considered a qualified tailor. Compared with blacksmiths and craftsmen, tailors are already relatively easy occupations. In reality, pampered players, where can they suffer from this.

Second, players start as apprentices, which requires a relatively long training cycle. Just like Sun Xiaoyue's profession as an architect, she studied in an architecture school for two months before she was promoted to an intermediate architect. The further back on, the longer it takes, which requires constant commitment and patience.

Therefore, only professional players who really have great perseverance, can endure hardships, and endure loneliness in life can become real masters in the future. Most people will be reduced to chicken ribs in the process.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Xie Siyun and her aunt returned to Jianye.

In the evening, Ouyang Shuo set up a banquet to entertain the expert group at the Sangu Restaurant.

At the banquet, Ouyang Shuo announced the arrangements for the experts. All 30 experts were hired by Lianzhou University as professors. The monthly salary is 10 gold coins, which is equivalent to the first-class salary of the secretary of the government department.

While completing the teaching tasks, the experts can serve as consultants according to their own specialties and preferences, or in the government affairs department; Or set up a research institute to engage in scientific research.

Agricultural experts can be hired as consultants to the Department of Agriculture to guide the Department of Agriculture in improving water facilities; instruct farmers to improve their planting practices and increase crop yields; Teach pest control methods, reduce crop losses, and more.

Economic experts can be hired as consultants to the Finance Bureau, guide the Finance Department, apply modern economic knowledge in combination with the actual situation of the territory, improve the tax system, formulate more targeted economic stimulus policies, and so on.

Engineering experts can be hired as consultants to the Construction Department to guide the Construction Department to develop more advanced tools or machinery and equipment, reduce the labor intensity of craftsmen, improve construction efficiency, and so on.

Mechanical experts can be hired as consultants to the Combat Readiness Division, guiding the Combat Readiness Division in the research and development of siege equipment, improving the existing ladders, fierce fire oil tanks, etc.

Metallurgical experts can be hired as consultants to the Material Reserve Administration to guide the Material Reserve Agency to improve the refining level of gold ore in the Langshan mine, the smelting level of various iron ores, and the upgrading of smelting furnaces.

In short, this group of experts is a huge treasure, and although they cannot subvert the restrictions of the system on the tech tree, they can use their knowledge to fine-tune or upgrade all walks of life in the territory.

Of course, the premise of everything is to let this group of experts integrate into the territory, effectively understand the current situation of the research territory, and then formulate a targeted transformation plan according to local conditions.

If experts in agriculture, economy, engineering, machinery, metallurgy and other fields are just icing on the cake, then Ouyang Shuo's core needs are to build warships and muskets powered by steam engines.

This plan involves many fields, and it requires the cooperation of many experts, coupled with the participation of Liu Mo, an expert in thermal weapons, and the participation of various departments such as alchemy workshops and weapon workshops. (To be continued.) )
