Chapter 289: A Hypothesis
"A Chamber of Commerce...... No, it should be said that Sloe Mendes's business is like that!"
The maid spread her hands evenly and explained to the goddess of wealth, "This hand is 'production', this hand is 'sales'," the maid closed her left hand representing 'production' and held her right hand representing 'sales', "whether it is a merchant or a chamber of commerce, they will only buy goods, and then move them to other places for sale, which is the most common way of business operation of Slo Mendes." ”
The goddess of wealth nodded in agreement, because what the maid said was actually the case with the major chambers of commerce of Sloe Mendes.
"So, the 'company' you're talking about is ......"
The goddess of fortune set her expectant eyes on the maid, and she already had some speculation in her mind to get confirmation from the maid.
The corners of the maid's mouth curled slightly, her hands were folded, and she said softly: "Including 'production' and 'sales', and the 'Chamber of Commerce' with a clear division of labor!"
Latinia tilted her head, thought for a while, and then lightly opened her pink lips: "I understand production and sales, so what about the 'clear division of labor'?"
She looked left and right, and then her eyes lit up, and she asked happily, "Just like your 'town hall'?"
The maid nodded, "Responsible for production, responsible for sales, responsible for management, responsible for negotiation - in fact, we can divide these into departments, such as 'finance department', 'production department', 'personnel department' and the like, if a group of people are responsible for one aspect, maybe in other aspects, their ability will not be too strong, but in their own work, their ability is much stronger than a group of people working blindly, isn't it? If the cadres can be separated, the efficiency of a chamber of commerce can be improved. ”
"The 'company' I mean is not much different from the 'chamber of commerce', except that it combines 'production' and 'sales', and the division of functions is a little more clear. But a 'company' can make more money than a 'chamber of commerce', and at least twice as much!"
After listening to the maid's words, the goddess of wealth fell into deep thought.
Serra is right, and while 'at least twice as much' is an exaggeration, duplication of functions is a terrible thing.
The procrastination of aristocratic officials is not only because they are lazy, but also because of the 'duplication of functions', and if the orders of the superiors are a little more vague, they may not only find out that they have not only done the wrong thing, but also found the wrong person in the first place.
This is not an exaggeration, the goddess of wealth single-handedly established the Commonwealth of Mor Commerce, and after hundreds of years, the country has long since deteriorated.
If you look at it from the original perspective, this is not a big mistake, but after coming to the Sad Wind Territory and seeing the efficiency of the Wende City Hall, the goddess of wealth understands what a terrible thing it is to 'duplicate functions'.
The officials of the Moore Merchant Federation will definitely indicate in the order to go to 'someone' when dealing with big things, but Winde City doesn't need this, there are some things that a well-functioning town hall can digest by itself, and there is no need for Edith or even Sera to worry about it.
"If we divide the labor and cooperate, let the people who are suitable for negotiation negotiate, and manage the financial ...... that are suitable for calculation."
The Goddess of Fortune is calculating how much business on the mainland will flourish if most of Sloe Mendes' chambers of commerce are transformed into 'corporations'.
The first is the reduction of costs, although the initial investment will be a lot, whether it is to hire workers or build a factory, you need to invest money, but after the construction of the factory, no matter what kind of production, because of the full use of human resources, the direct purchase of raw materials for production, rather than the purchase of goods after reselling, one less process, production efficiency can also be improved, and the cost is not a strange thing.
This is still secondary, the process of industrialization represents the development of productive forces, but also represents 'jobs'!
Even just providing an 'idea' can lead to the development of more new occupations in the world, and when workers are carefully divided into various occupations and filled in various production sectors, many jobs are invisibly added to the common people.
Latinia is also well aware of what the 'factory' is all about, some jobs require technology, but more jobs require constant repetition of work in a boring and boring way.
"However, other people are not like you, let alone those big businessmen who can run a chamber of commerce. The Goddess of Fortune was a little worried about the speculation that followed, "If they are allowed to master this technique, then with their greedy personality, the civilians will be squeezed very badly, right?
As the goddess of wealth, Latinia knows so much about those big businessmen that she doesn't know anymore, if she is still the same as before, she naturally doesn't think greed is a bad thing, but now she is different!
Sera taught her what is called 'the process of economic construction can promote social development', and she also knew that the development of commerce and the development of society are inseparable from the relationship, and if those big businessmen only know how to oppress the workers, then such unhealthy work and management systems will sooner or later become a cancer that hinders the development of the world, like these 'aristocrats' today.
"Didn't you just get the 'Contract' priesthood?" the maid gave Latinia a strange look in her eyes and asked, "Forgot so quickly?"
The goddess of wealth thought for a while, clapped her hands, and said in surprise: "Yes, why didn't I expect it!"
Let the merchants sign a contract with them to promise not to do anything to persecute the workers...... Wrong!
Latinia frowned again, "But...... As businessmen, we're the best at exploiting loopholes. Tax evasion is also a common thing, playing with language arts is not only the privilege of the aristocracy, the reason why the sad wind collar can receive so many taxes is only because of the large number of management methods and merchants, it is difficult to evade taxes, and after tax evasion, unless you don't come here to do business next time, you will still be caught. But in other places it is different, the merchants are very good at exploiting loopholes, and if they were to sign a contract with them, they themselves might not be going to oppress the workers, but they would definitely acquiesce to their subordinates to oppress the workers, so isn't that the same as not signing a contract?"
The maid chuckled and shook her head and asked, "What if you form a 'business alliance' on your own?"
The goddess of wealth was suddenly stunned, stopped thinking, looked up at the maid blankly, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration: "Sela, you are really a genius!"
As a deity, the goddess of wealth is not stupid, and the only difference between her and the maid is the 'way of thinking'.
Half of the maid's soul has been nurtured by the 'information explosion', and although the will of the dominant soul is 'Serena', in the process of growing up, because of the lack of growth experience, her ideology has been moving closer to her other half of the soul.
She thinks that she is 'Serena', and she also thinks that she is an earthling who has traveled to another world, which is not a contradiction, maybe her previous life was really an earthling, and she was just 'awakened the memory of her previous life'?
Although the 'Book of Wisdom' had also told her that this was impossible in this multiverse, it didn't matter much, as she was now a person named 'Serena Screaming Wind', and regardless of her previous life, she was now 'Serena' and nothing would change in the future!
Her thinking is different from that of Latinia, who is completely unaware that businessmen can cooperate with each other, but most of the time they are still in competition with each other.
Forming a 'business alliance' – not as a 'nation', just an 'organization' – allows them to monitor each other, and the competition between businessmen is often dirty, and if there is a reward system for them to report each other, they will not let go of this opportunity!
The leader of the business alliance will always be Latinia, but what about under her?
If Latinia regulates it and makes the businessmen who join the business alliance taste the sweetness of 'cooperation', are you afraid that they will not join it?
If the first benefit of joining the Business Alliance is that you can visit the 'Factory Zone'......
"The idea ......"
A bright smile of excitement appeared on the face of the goddess of wealth, "That's great!"
