187: Hearing Conference (II)

"The second item of the Ten-Year Plan: Implement institutional and mechanism reforms, introduce external forces, and promote the diversified development of the academy's power."

"It includes three smaller aspects in total:

Firstly, the pilot reform of private ownership for auxiliary towers. All six Auxiliary Wizard Towers will be publicly tendered for private shares. Whoever invests resources will receive corresponding shares and can participate in the management and profit distribution of the auxiliary towers. Academy personnel can also participate in this tender.

Secondly, the functional positioning experiment for auxiliary towers. The six Auxiliary Wizard Towers are positioned to take on the redundant and cumbersome functions of the main Wizard Tower. In the future, the main Wizard Tower will only focus on a few key areas, such as training new apprentices, basic potion experiments and research, and in-depth research on Bio-armor.

As for some redundant functions, such as potion refining factories, Demonized Plants trading markets, leisure and entertainment, combat missions, etc., all can be transferred to the Auxiliary Wizard Towers.

Thirdly, the market-oriented transformation of auxiliary towers. In the future, the six Auxiliary Wizard Towers will serve as windows for Plant Heart Academy's external exchanges, establishing small rogue wizard markets, providing external wizards with a foothold and a trading market."

..."This, how can it be reformed like this?"

A middle-aged wizard's mouth dropped open in surprise.

"Isn't this just nonsense? Alas..."

A white-haired old wizard sighed.

"Unheard of, if we reform like this, won't our Wizard Tower be in danger? And open it to external wizards? What if Black Wizards sneak in and cause destruction?"

An elderly male wizard wisely analyzed the practical situation.

"How can we bring outsiders in? We don't even have enough job opportunities for our internal people; the internal competition is fierce. And we're just giving these development benefits to outsiders for free? This... this is truly hard to understand!"

A young wizard representative muttered in disbelief. In his twenties, he was already bald, revealing a large blank forehead, showcasing the extent of his internal competition. He was truly an excellent 'King of Internal Competition'.

"We disagree. Nothing like this has ever happened in Mist Coast. Whose Auxiliary Wizard Tower isn't exclusively for their own people? Who dares to invite outsiders in? Isn't this just inviting wolves into the house?"

Many older generation wizards spoke out in opposition, finding it very difficult to understand the purpose of this reform. From their simple understanding, this was still an incomprehensible matter..."Silence, silence..."

After ten minutes of free discussion time, Green Anglet knocked on the table.

"Now, if you have questions, raise your hand and ask. I will answer them one by one and tell you the answers."

This meeting was for Green Anglet to unify the understanding of the various strata of wizards in the academy. Only by changing the mindset of everyone in the academy and forming a united front could the reform proceed smoothly.

Green Anglet had studied a bit of history; reforms throughout history always began with ideological change, followed by practical action. Only when ideological consciousness was unified could these groundbreaking reforms hope to succeed.

Although this was an extraordinary Wizard World, and Green Anglet, as a Formal Wizard wielding absolute military power, could forcefully implement his ideas and reforms, this was not the result he desired.

If he forcefully pushed the reforms, Green Anglet would have many more troubles to deal with, and it would also cause resource waste and affect the effectiveness of the reforms. Green Anglet would never do such a losing business.

Therefore, this Hearing was exceptionally important. Green Anglet intended to use this Hearing to make all these high-level academy wizards agree with his views and become an aid to his reforms..."Esteemed Sir Green Anglet, we would like to ask, what is the purpose of these reforms you propose for the Auxiliary Wizard Towers?"

"Establishing markets and introducing foreign capital are extremely risky. If we're not careful, our academy could be breached by enemies from within. Sir Green Anglet, please reconsider."

"I have considered all of these. Let me explain them to you one by one."

Green Anglet patiently communicated with everyone.

"First of all, my goal is definitely for the good of our academy, for its development and legacy."

"As everyone knows, Teacher Joyce can only stay in Mist Coast for another 10 years. So, how can we seize this strategic opportunity?"

"If we follow your ideas, building Auxiliary Wizard Towers one after another, and relying entirely on our own strength without introducing external wizard forces, then how much progress and improvement can our academy make in these 10 years?"

"Mentor Bruceklin, please announce the calculation results provided by the Academy's Finance Department."

"Alright, Sir Green Anglet. After meticulous calculation, with 10 years of full development using traditional methods, the academy can only build one Auxiliary Wizard Tower first. After 10 years, it is expected to achieve an overall improvement of 27.68%:

The total amount of resources the academy can acquire will increase by 47.28%;

The fiscal deficit will increase by 150%;

An estimated 3,000 new job opportunities can be created;

The average salary of academy wizards is expected to increase by around 100 Magic Stones."

"Hahaha..."

Green Anglet laughed.

"A Tier 2 Wizard, this is the only Tier 2 advanced wizard in Mist Coast. Under the protection of a Tier 2 Wizard, is this all the development? Such a small harvest after 10 years?"

"It's laughable to even mention it. Have you considered this? Do you feel ashamed? Or are you satisfied with such meager achievements and gains?"

Green Anglet's resonant voice echoed throughout the entire conference hall. All the wizards below the stage stared intently at the rows of data on the projection screen.

As wizards with high intelligence and strong Spiritual Power, their mental calculation abilities were extremely formidable.

The disclosed data was also authentic and reliable, with every calculation step being extremely rigorous and impeccable, without any major errors.

After calculating it themselves, many wizards were somewhat incredulous. They really would only gain so little. Their hearts began to waver—

Who would get to eat such a small cake?

..."But what if we follow the new method I proposed?"

"What kind of situation would that be?"

"Mentor Bruceklin, please announce the calculation results provided by the Academy's Finance Department."

"Alright, Sir Green Anglet. After reasonable assessment and calculation, with 10 years of reform and development, if it fully follows your plan, simultaneously constructing six Auxiliary Wizard Towers and conducting corresponding market-oriented operations, the academy is expected to achieve an overall improvement of over 300%:

The total amount of resources the academy can acquire will increase by 150%~200%;

The fiscal deficit will completely disappear, and fiscal revenue will increase by 100%~180%;

An estimated 21,000 new job opportunities can be created;

The average salary of academy wizards is expected to increase by around 200~300 Magic Stones."

..."How is that possible?" Everyone exclaimed in unison!
