826 Chapter 864: Negotiations (Part One)
There were two points in the relationship between a city and a Lord: Finance and population. The population here did not refer to the population of the Otherworld. According to the power granted to the players by the main base, the players had the right to explore and colonize the outside world, the land and population that were developed outside were all privately owned by the players. Not only did the main base not interfere, but it would also take the initiative to subsidize them. The real population referred to the population of the d-ball.
There was a limit to the number of D ball players that each faction could hire. Up until now, there were only ten slots for all the Lords to cooperate. At first, the players did not care, and there was even a lot of people who did not need to fill up ten slots, after all, many people did not want to share the fruits of the faction’s labor with outsiders.
However, as the faction grew larger and more colonized the population, many lord players discovered a problem: they did not have enough high-end talents.
Now, it was mainly in the field of scientific research. The content of the civilization technology library given to the players by the general base was too huge. It was so huge that many developers did not dare to branch out in detail. In sphere D, just the physics of many subjects could be divided into chemical physics, geophysics,. Economic Physics,. Atmospheric physics,. Biological Physics,. Medical Physics, and astrophysics. In Galaxy, a developer was responsible for tens to hundreds of large categories, and the number of research points was up to thousands. Although the developer’s brain was as useful as a computer, computers also had a computing limit… …
Ten slots were all for developers, which was not enough to level up civilization, not to mention that there were usually some other types of players in the ten slots.
After that, the demand for high-end lifestyle and high-level combat players would increase as time went on. If they wanted to ensure the quality of their current forces, it was very necessary to continue expanding the cooperative population.
And this power was clearly delegated to the city by the main base… …
Then there was the property rights. Now that the main base had implemented a virtual points system, once the LORD activated the financial system, 50% of the income had to be handed over, and under the new rules, the main base would delegate 20% to the player’s city for the overall construction.
If the city and Lord wanted to buy more advanced technology, materials, or even complete sets of products, they would have to purchase them through the main base’s points, forming the current three-tier management structure.
In other words, the city Lord had two of the biggest rights in this intermediate management structure: the right to give the population and the 20% right to finance and tax.
Of course, there were more subdivisions than that. Among them, the right to upgrade civilizations, the distribution of new energy resources, the right to explore the external market, and the right to connect to the interstellar era had yet to be fully realized, so there was a limit to how much they could be used, at this stage, the most crucial thing was the two basic rights mentioned earlier.
This was also the capital that the city lord could use to negotiate with the players… …
“Let’s talk about population first… The leader took out the information and said, “Currently, the number of people that are allowed to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion is different from one another. Take song Zaiyi as an example. He feels that we should limit the population of the private forces. There are only 20 places open, and if we want more people, we have to go through qualification checks and various evaluations. As for the candidates led by Mister, they feel that we should let go of the population limit and not use the population to restrict the players. We should support their market liberalization to the greatest extent. Hence, Mister’s policy emphasizes that there is no limit to the cooperation population of the Lord’s forces. Right now, including the candidates for Huaxia City’s six City Lords, these two people are the most extreme in terms of the population limit. What do you think?”
When the players heard this, they fell silent. As private players, they naturally preferred the policy that Mister had proposed. If they did not set a limit on the number of people they could cooperate with, the private forces would rapidly develop. However, they also knew in their hearts.., if they did this, the private forces would expand too much. This was definitely something that the city’s managers did not want to see.
“Lord Leader, what do you think?”After hesitating for a moment, Icicle finally decided to test the official government’s intentions.
“Then let me tell you my opinion first!”The leader nodded. “First of all, I don’t agree with Mister’s method. For you guys, I’m sure you want to have as much authority as possible, but this will easily result in the birth of a monopoly power. Not only will it be difficult to control the city, but for the newer players, the ascending path will also become smaller and smaller, which is not conducive to a benign cycle in the environment. For example, this little cabbage…”. … ..
“Eh?”Little Cabbage, who had been called out, looked up with an expression of ‘why are you talking about me?’.
Leader: “I’m sure everyone is familiar with this player’s faction, right?”? As the largest faction in the current market, it had almost no opponents in the fields of high-end materials exports and agricultural exports. Many lord-tier players who relied on basic materials could only attack the low-end materials market and some agricultural products that little cabbage had not been able to research… … The other similar small and medium-sized lord-tier forces were willing to survive because little cabbages did not have enough research resources to cover the middle and low-end market, but if… … If there was no quota limit, she would definitely recruit tens of thousands of developers and instantly monopolize the market. With her current market reputation, do you think small and medium-sized forces of the same type can still survive
“Look at what Lord Leader said, how can I Be So Evil?”Little cabbage said unhappily!
Hehe… … The many small and medium-sized lords all laughed coldly… …
Little Cabbage’s strategy was the most common among the various factions. This could be seen from their private supply and cooperation strategy, which almost tied down many other materials-demanding factions, which of the current top 50 lords hadn’t been trapped by little cabbage’s material strategy?
This kind of evil capital method started from you… …
“Is that Lord’s policy favoring song?”Ice Cap asked doubtfully.
“His policy is relatively stable, but it may cause your group of players to gain an advantage from behind…”. The leader shook his head. “Market possession and the development of civilization repositories are extremely important. With enough market stimulation, the enthusiasm for research and development will be stronger. I Don’t want your current progress to be slowed down because of a lack of high-end talent.”
“Then what do you mean, leader?”A sea breeze mechanical civilization lord asked from the side.
“I think we should fundamentally control the population attribute…”. The Lord said seriously, “The developer players will all belong to the city’s public system personnel. We will be responsible for the training of basic education costs, and the city will distribute benefits and wages. If you want more developers, then you can pay the hiring funds to the city, and we will be responsible for allocating the research population for you. However, we have the right to recall the developers at any time. This way, we can effectively control the market and not let one company grow bigger. What do you think?”
All the players were stunned. This… … It was to completely control their research team’s lifeline.
“No!”Icecrown shook his head.
