The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 111 Tianshu-style Management

The management method of Tianshu City is quite different from that of Haiya City.

As an important commercial and trade town, ordinary people hardly need any procedures to enter and exit Haiya City. In contrast, Tianshu City has a strict management system for entering and exiting the city. Mortals who want to enter and exit the city have already lined up outside the city gate. .Before entering the city, Yang Lu has already felt the difference in the management styles of the two cities.

According to Chen Ping's introduction, Shanying School attaches great importance to the institutionalization and standardization of school management.

Unlike Haiya City, which is full of the freedom of cultivation capitalism, Tianshu City, which is managed by the Shanying faction, is closer to the cultivation sect described in the novels of the Earth Network. Both administrative management power and sect management power are concentrated at the top. The upper echelons of the sect, through a strict internal control system, penetrated into the grassroots and firmly controlled all aspects of Tianshu City.

As majestic cultivators, Yang Lu and Chen Ping naturally didn't need to squeeze together with ordinary people, but walked outside the gate of another small city that looked very deserted, and handed out name cards to the staff in charge of duty outside the gate .

This officer on duty is covered in pitch-black armor from head to toe. Helmet, armor, boots, wrist guards and leg guards are fully equipped, and the golden soaring eagle pattern representing the mountain hawks is engraved on the breastplate, which looks very eye-catching.

And at his waist is a three-foot-long golden flying sword.

This golden flying sword is very familiar to Yang Lu. He once took out a flying sword of the same style from the body of Tinghe Yuge killer Li Wen. sword.

Since this person can be responsible for verifying the identity of the monk who entered the city, he is also an official disciple of the Mountain Eagle Sect.

Similar to the standard black iron flying sword, his whole body armor is also made of black iron, and it is by no means vulnerable like ordinary iron. According to Chen Ping, it takes hundreds of catties of high-grade iron to make such an armor. Black iron ore can only be made by removing its residue, extracting its essence, and tempering it with metallic aura for seven days and seven nights.

Wearing such a set of powerful black iron armor on the body, it has extremely high resistance to most magic attacks. Even a rookie like Yang Lu, who is a rookie in the early stage of Qi refining, is enough to face the monks in the middle stage of Qi refining without losing. .

However, monks in the ordinary Qi refining period will not use this kind of black iron armor. Although the defense power of the black iron armor is terrifying, it will seriously affect the mobility of the cultivator, and it is only suitable for this type of city guards.

Yang Lu just looked at this set of armor casually, and didn't have much special feeling.

He is now a big local tycoon with a huge check of 10 yuan in Lingshi coins. Even if he can't afford Li Qingning's magic weapon of the same level, he can never make do with this kind of stupid mass-produced equipment.

The monks of the Mountain Eagle Sect on duty carefully registered the information of the two, then handed them each a wooden identification plate, and patiently explained: "Two fellow Taoists of the Golden Knife Sect, during the Fairy Fate Conference, the number of cultivators in Tianshu City is very large. Many, strict registration of identity is not only a requirement of my school's internal control process. It is also for the safety of fellow Taoists. If you encounter unexpected dangers, you only need to use your aura to crush this ID card, and my school will enforce the law. Senior Jiqi came to help!"

If a cultivator from the Haiya faction came to visit, the monks from the Shanying faction would definitely not be so polite.

The Haiya faction and the Shanying faction were at odds with each other, and the Duzhitang behind the Haiya faction and the Gongdetang behind the Shanying faction were even more at odds because of the reform of the social security system for self-cultivation.

According to the rumors from the roadside society, during the recent period, Chen Ming, the head of the Mountain Eagle Sect, is secretly planning to cooperate with Fang Jiancai, the deacon of the Gongde Hall, to carry out a pilot project of a new generation of social security system for self-cultivation in Tianshu City.

This kind of pilot behavior that cuts first and plays later has exacerbated the tension between the two sects.

In contrast, the Golden Knife Sect is not only one of the top ten famous sects in Zhongzhou, but also has always adhered to neutrality. Therefore, after the two revealed their identities, the monks of the Mountain Eagle Sect on duty also seemed much more attentive.If Chen Ping hadn't handed over the name card, he would have thought that both of them were new immortal seekers who had just joined the Haiya Sect!

After casually accepting the identity card handed over by the monk of the Mountain Eagle Sect, the two of them successfully entered the interior of Tianshu City.

Compared with the architectural style of Haiya City with flying eaves, brackets and a hundred flowers blooming, the architectural style of Tianshu City looks more uniform, and the shapes and colors are all carved out of a mold.

Not only that, unlike Haiya City, which has a large number of lively shops along the street, there are hardly any small merchants in the outer city of Tianshu City.Even though the total population of Tianshu City is no less than that of Haiya City, the number of pedestrians passing through the streets of Tianshu City is obviously much less than that of Haiya City.

Noticing Yang Lu's eyes looking left and right, Chen Ping explained with a smile: "You are used to the life of Haiya City, and you will definitely feel a little uncomfortable when you come to Tianshu City for the first time. When the Mountain Eagle faction manages the city, they place more emphasis on order. Importance. Ordinary mortals need to apply for approval according to the procedures if they want to open a shop, and they need to register according to the procedures if they want to enter and exit the city. Because of this, the outer city where mortals live looks a bit dull."

Looking at the somewhat desolate streets of Tianshu City, Yang Lu nodded thoughtfully.

From the manager's point of view, the management concepts of Tianshu City and Haiya City are not superior or inferior, but differentiated trade-offs in different aspects, which are somewhat similar to the relationship between planned economy and market economy.

The essence of a market economy is similar to machine learning.

Producers set prices for their products first, and then get feedback (sales volume) from consumers. Then, based on this feedback, producers adjust production strategies and pricing strategies to meet the needs of consumers.

In fact, online writers adjust their writing plans through monthly tickets and subscription numbers, which is also the same feedback logic. If the grades are poor, they will be eunuchs, and if the grades are good, they will continue to write. This is the most typical market economy logic.

Of course, the market economy also has its weaknesses. For example, it is often difficult to judge whether it is a temporary decline or a permanent decline after the subscription of online writers drops, which is easy to cause misjudgment, so the efficiency and accuracy of this feedback mode are actually not too high. high.

Although the planned economy is more efficient, it lacks this information feedback mechanism between consumers and producers, because after losing the price signal, it is difficult for individuals to express "what I really want" in other ways.

It is obviously impossible to say it with your mouth, because there is no cost to say it with your mouth. Everyone will say that I want to live in a villa and eat steak. In game theory, this kind of information that does not require cost is invalid information that cannot be believed.

Therefore, under the highly planned management model, managers must have strong management capabilities, accurately judge the needs of others, and maximize their strengths and avoid weaknesses as much as possible, in order to take advantage of the high efficiency of the planned economy.

Because of this characteristic, the smaller the overall size of the organization, the more suitable it is for planned management.

Almost all enterprises are internally planned management. Even the Qingning Chamber of Commerce under Yang Lu's management is a typical planned economy. However, as the scale of enterprises grows, the problems of planned management become more and more prominent.

When the scale of the enterprise is so large that it is difficult for managers to accurately grasp the needs of all employees, the loss caused by internal management will exceed the efficiency improvement brought about by planned management. This is the disease of large enterprises.

As managers of quasi-million-population cities, the Shanying faction and the Haiya faction obviously made different choices.

The Mountain Eagle faction is more inclined to planned management, which strengthens the management efficiency of the city and damages the vitality of the private economy; the Sea Cliff faction is more inclined to freedom, weakening the control of the city, but making the private economy highly developed.
