Chapter 144 Internal Reform
Shana knocked on the door, and soon Rhode's voice came from inside.
"Please come in."
Hearing this voice, the red-haired mercenary hesitated, then pushed open the door and walked into the room.
"Sir, do you have something to come to me?"
"That's right."
Faced with Shanna's inquiry, Rhode nodded. At this time, the red-haired mercenary discovered that it was not only her who was in the study, but others including Old Walker, Lijie, Anne and Lando were also sitting next to them. They were holding a piece of paper in their hands with different expressions, not knowing what they were looking at.
"I have always seen your recent performances after passing through the dusk forest."
Rod nodded to Shana, then he reached out and handed a piece of paper over.
"Now I can be sure that you are indeed qualified to join my mercenary group, so...this is the final procedure, let's take a closer look."
"This is…………"
Shanna stretched out her hand curiously, took the paper handed by Rhode, looked carefully, and then her beautiful brows soon frowned.
"What's this?"
“This is a contract.”
Rhodes still had no expression on his face, but his attitude was very serious and serious.
"As long as you have read the above terms and agree to accept them, we can sign it."
"contract?"
"Yes, I think this will be of great help to us."
When Rhodes spoke, his tone was full of confidence.
And this is exactly what Rhodes came up with.
He did not use all the experiences of all players. On the contrary, before making this decision, Rhodes spent a lot of effort to observe other mercenaries. Later, he discovered some problems that he had never thought about in the game, but were very serious.
Although mercenaries have the word "soldier", they are completely different from soldiers. Soldiers must obey orders completely and unconditionally. For example, if an army is chased by a monster and the commander orders one of the teams to be bait and lead them away, they must do it unconditionally immediately. However, mercenaries cannot do this. They do pay for their lives, but they don't pay for their lives. If they don't even have their lives, what's the use of money?
Moreover, there is another very important thing that mercenaries are afraid of being injured. They don’t take ordinary flesh and blood injuries seriously. However, if you break your legs and blind your eyes, they are very worried about their future in the mercenary group. If it is the respected old mercenaries, they can still stay and rely on their own experience to help the mercenary group do some things. But those young mercenaries are finished. They are either expelled from the mercenary group or abandoned aside and cannot participate in the mission. In the end, they cannot get the money and can only make a living.
This directly leads to the mercenaries who often subconsciously work but fail to work when facing danger. From the experience of saving the mercenary group in the past few times, Rhodes can see that in many cases, the enemy does not seem very dangerous, but those mercenaries do not choose to rush forward to change the situation of the battle regardless of sacrifice. This leads to the situation that could have been confronted to become one sided, but when the mercenaries realize that they will die if they don’t fight to the death, it is too late.
This reminded Rhode that the player is not afraid of death, so he has no pressure when giving orders in the game, nor is he afraid that the other party will not execute them. But now it is not possible. There is no such situation yet. However, if a similar problem occurs and the mercenaries under his command fail due to various concerns, Rhode has no place to cry.
Moreover, the negative textbook of Jade Tears also reminded him that the income of mercenaries is very unfixed. Players make money to buy equipment because they do not have the pressure of life in the game and are simply showing off. However, mercenaries need money to live a life, and in order to live, they will definitely do everything they can. Look at these guys, for the sake of money, even their own mercenary group can be sold, what else can they not do?
In addition, Rhodes also found that the mercenary group rarely recruits people and rarely drives people away. Most mercenaries will hardly be driven out of the mercenary group unless they make some serious mistakes or stand in the wrong team. This also made many of them choose to eat and wait for death, and put some effort into the mission, live a safe and secure life, and use a soy sauce to complete the task. The money you can get is a little money.
There is no pressure without competition. No wonder these mercenary groups can only complete two or three tasks in a month and live a lifeless life.
Of course, this is not allowed for Rhodes. He does not want such people to be everywhere in his subordinates. If this is true, it will be a considerable obstacle to the growth and development of the mercenary group.
However, it is not difficult for Rhode to consider countermeasures. After all, on Earth, the Dragon Soul Continent is a very large and popular online game. Such online games will inevitably extend to professional guilds and professional teams. As the president of the most powerful guild in the entire game, Rhode is of course quite familiar with these professionalizations, and even often, he himself participates in it.
Now, the contract that Rhodes has taken out is to take over his experience in the professional guilds and teams on the earth and modify it.
In this contract, Rhodes clearly stipulates the responsibilities and periods of each mercenary. According to the contract, they can stay for several years, and after a few years, they determine whether to renew the contract according to their evaluation. If these mercenaries cannot meet Rhode's requirements within three years, they will be swept out mercilessly. If Rhodes' requirements are met, they can continue to stay here, and after three consecutive renewals, they will gain the right to stay in the mercenary group forever.
Of course, in this contract, Rhodes also made clear compensation for the issues that mercenaries would worry about. If someone was injured during the mission, the mercenary group would give him considerable compensation. In addition, in every month after that, even if he was unable to participate in the mission, he would receive a certain degree of reward. Of course, after the injury healed, the mercenary group would not let him eat for nothing, but would find him a new job to do.
The contract also clearly states that if they perform well and can achieve their set goals every year, each mercenary will be given a certain degree of reward and increase the percentage of their reward.
These are the inspiration Rhodes found in the contracts signed by the professional league and the team. In this way, he can ensure that the mercenaries under his command will no longer be as leisurely as before - at least the pressure is inevitable. And this can also eliminate the problems caused by uneven distribution in the mercenary group. This kind of thing has been complained many times when he heard Shana and Anne talking about the past. In the past, the mercenary group distributed spoils very subjective and difficult to have a standard. Now, writing in black and white can at least eliminate potential disputes and hidden dangers, which is also a good thing.
However, Rhode is not a fool. His liking for poaching does not mean that he likes being poached. After passing through Anne and Lando's affairs, in order to avoid other mercenary groups attacking him, he also added a penalty part to the contract without hesitation. If the mercenary wants to leave the mercenary group or someone wants to poach before the contract expires, then pay the money first and then talk about other things.
Although there are laws on the Dragon Soul Continent, they are not perfect. This contract system does not only protect reasonable and legal existence like the earth. On this continent, the law also respects the contract, but does not look at it in a classified manner. In other words, as long as both parties agree and sign a contract, whether the content is to sell themselves as slaves or concubines, or let them get married when the two families have boys in the future, they are all within the scope of protection of the law. Once violated, the "breach of contract" will be punished uniformly. At that time, one of the parties can directly take the contract to the sheriff and complain, and at that time, it will be "forced". Not only that, the party that breaches the contract will also be arrested and jailed, and it will definitely be inevitable.
But there is no need to worry that someone will forge a contract. After all, although there is no high-tech on this continent that can identify and authenticate the identity on Earth, the power of magic cannot be underestimated. If anyone thinks that he can be more powerful than mysterious magic, then he can try it out--- Unlike breach of contract, forging a contract will be beheaded directly.
At present, after Rhode thought hard, this is the only way to improve the cohesion and strength of the mercenary group.
In terms of term, Lijie has obtained the highest indefinite period. Rhode believes in her feelings for Starlight, and theoretically, she is the veteran of Starlight Mercenary Group, so it is impossible to leave.
Behind her, Anne was the second long contract. Rhodes was very optimistic about this shield warrior and was very confident that she could stay here. Naturally, he would not allow others to poach his own corners. Anne's contract is the longest five years, and her liquidated damages were also set very high, with a total of 50,000 gold coins - let alone the mercenary group, even the four major mercenary guilds would not be able to get this money.
Apart from these two people, the others basically have three years, and the penalty for liquidated contract is not high, at most it is only one thousand gold coins. If someone gives it, it can still pay it.
I have to say that this professional method really makes everyone feel quite new. Lijie has no objection to her contract. She has never planned to leave Xingguang, and as a spiritual master, her existence is also indispensable. In addition, the girl herself has always been very serious, so she is not worried about her own violation.
Anne seemed to have no idea about this. The girl was very careless and didn't care about such things. After confirming with Rhode that "as long as you perform well, you can stay forever", she signed her name without hesitation. Judging from her appearance, it seemed that as long as she could stay here, it didn't matter whether she signed a contract for sale or a mercenary contract...
Although Old Walker was a little hesitant, he finally nodded in agreement. After all, the old man himself knew that he would not have worked for several years, and according to the contract above, he was not at a loss.
The most serious attitude is Shana. No matter what, she was once a mercenary leader, and she could see at a glance what impact this thing had on the mercenary group. Although similar contracts in the Merchant Association were not without, no one had ever thought of connecting this thing with the mercenary group. Now that she was shocked to see this, she did not sign it immediately, but told Rhode that she would discuss it with other companions. No wonder, no matter what, a mercenary group was the only one in the world to make this happen. Such a thing has never happened. It was not wrong for Shana to treat it carefully.
Unlike the red-haired mercenary, Lando had no other choice. Labis also got a pretty good contract, so they had no other choice except signing. Moreover, these newcomers were also under the greatest pressure. They were not as experienced as old mercenaries such as Shana, nor as genius as Anne. If they didn't work hard, they would be kicked out by then, which would be a joke.
However, not everyone got the contract.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong..."
Shortly after Rhodes saw the others go, a burst of rapid footsteps came, and then Marlene rushed into the room with a whirlwind.
"Mr. Rhode! What kind of contract! Why don't I have my share?"
