830 Guild Share Revolution (1/2)

Chapter 830 – Guild Share Revolution

Conflicts would often give rise to change.

This whole trust issue, be it those who change guild leaders or leave the guild, it would stop soon. For the guild to develop till today, the system was already mature, and it was difficult for internal conflicts to cause that much damage.

Especially to the three huge guilds like Tingyu Floor; after all, they had the satellite cities in their hands, so all the more people would not leave.

However, people not leaving did not mean that they were happy.

How to monitor and keep in check the guild leader so as to ensure all the interests of the players were not affected or betrayed had become the popular topic.

Even the inner circles of the guilds that were not directly affected were discussing similar topics.

It was best to be safe rather than sorry.

China had never lacked smart people.

In less than two days, an effective guild structure was suggested by some people.

The one who used it was not the mid and large scale guilds but one of the giants - Tingyu Floor. Jianqi Leiyin was a strong woman, and this judgement error was one that she took the blame for.

Although there were few who would leave them due to their possession of the Satellite City, Jianqi Leiyin was sure that to keep their hearts and unite them by her side on Planet Hope, she needed to do something.

The moment Shanhai City attacked Xunlong City, Jianqi Leiyin felt something. The moment the uproar started, she and the guild higher ups discussed ways to win back the trust of the members.

Jianqi Leiyin had worked with Shanhai City for some time, and she had learned some of the ideals of Ouyang Shuo. After pondering for a full day, she finally thought of a guild structure that would affect the entire guild circle.

It sounded simple, but it was to start a guild share revolution.

Guilds in game were the same as enterprises in real life. The guild leader and the elders were the founders.

Similar to enterprises in real life, at the start of the guild development, the guild members would have high trust in the founders and their team and grant them a lot of power.

Maybe at this stage, the players had not realized how tight the relationship between the decisions the guild leaders made and their own interests were. They joined the guild to find someone to back them up, someone to rely on.

Since that was the case, they naturally had to follow them unconditionally. Being affected by normal game thinking and under the many rules and guild laws, normal members had no room to act.

It was even to the point where normal members would not have any relationship with the guild leaders. The ones that were around the guild leader were the higher powers and the guild elites.

Hence, guild decisions were basically decided by the core level, which resulted in the guild leader making all the decisions.

At such a stage, normal members did not feel that anything was wrong with this situation.

At that moment, guilds and their members relied on one another, so the two did not have many conflicts of interest as the guild did not have any profits yet.

At the 4th year, the guilds have tided past their tough times, especially with the Satellite City being released, and the huge guilds had started to profit.

The relationship started to slowly change, and the normal members were not so calm anymore. They started to stare at the profits and hope to earn more.

Since there was a demand for interests and benefits, normal members would not let the higher ups decide everything. Hence, the primitive decision system needed a modern enterprise management method.

If not, it would be hard to make the guild grow bigger.

In reality, the most common way would be to attract new investors or list your company on the market. And the basic requirement for listing would be to have a modern enterprise management and financial system.

In reality, there were experts that focused on evaluating such organizations.

People who failed would not even manage to list their company on the market.

Guilds obviously did not need to be listed, but this share revolution was needed to ensure that all interests were accounted for.

If it succeeded, members would all hold shares and feel a sense of identity in the guild, putting their own fates closely together with that of the guild.

If a person causes the guild to be affected, normal members would not let them off. Similarly, if an outside power could affect the guild's interests, the normal members would go all out to fight.

With that, the guild unity and combat strength would reach a whole new level.

All in all, there were more pros than cons.

Hence, even without this whole trust issue, the guild share revolution would still have taken place. After all, Earth Online was too special, and it was not only entertainment; it affected real life.

The group holding shares only dealt with the guild interest problem but did not solve the part about monitoring of the guild leader.

Hence, Tingyu Floor also planned to establish a Board of Directors and have a Chairman to hold board meetings to monitor guild workings and ensure that everything runs smoothly.

The Board of Directors would be composed of both commoners and higher ups of the guilds.
