Chapter 581: Chief Inspector of Winterhold: Lilia
After writing homework for others for a while, Lilia seemed to find that this kind of simple repetitive labor to make money was not suitable for a mage. It was not replicable, had no basis for expanding production capacity, and produced negative externalities in the class.
The answer Lilia finally came to was that if the practice of ghostwriting continued, the disadvantages would far outweigh the advantages.
But by that time, Lilia's ghostwriting business had already gained some fame, and she was unwilling to give up this accumulated reputation so easily, so she came up with a plan.
Or it could be said that from some stories that Mo Cheng had occasionally told her in the past, as well as from the journey to the Kingdom of Bezeko, because Mo Cheng was often busy going out alone, Lilia often communicated with other people in the team and came up with solutions based on her own experiences.
Lilia first sorted out the demand side (finding someone to write homework for others) and the supply side (helping others write homework for others) in her class, and used the reputation she had established by writing homework as an endorsement to build a platform.
It must be mentioned that the homework assigned by Winterhold Magic Academy is very huge in quantity.
Each subject has at least one paper per week that is about 50 centimeters long. As for the homework involving computing subjects, there are even more.
For students, calculation-related assignments run through their entire school career, because even the simplest ballistic spells involve calculations of trajectory, speed, wind direction, and gravity.
Therefore, the business of homework ghostwriting has always been very popular among the many students of Winterburg Magic Academy.
Then, she would promote transactions between students who needed ghostwriting services and students who were willing to do so, and Lilia would take a commission from it.
When he heard this, Mo Cheng began to frown. He felt that he was listening to something very familiar.
Afterwards, Lilia established an evaluation and quality control system for the quality of ghostwriting assignments, using economic penalties to control the quality of producers and compensate consumers for the losses caused by low-quality assignments.
At the same time, Lilia has gradually evolved from instant settlement to T+1, T+7 or even higher delayed settlement to maintain cash flow.
After taking control of her own class's business, Lilia began to expand the business to other classes.
Mo Cheng took a deep breath and clenched his fists so tightly that veins bulged.
He was recalling his memories, thinking about what story he had told Lilia. He had no recollection of telling Lilia the story of how to create a platform to make money.
"so……"
Mo Cheng looked at the homework in his hand. "Lilia has set up a homework ghostwriting platform. The business is developing rapidly. The reaper's sickle is harvesting happily at both ends. Sooner or later, it will become a street lamp decoration?"
"No." Dorothy shook her head. "You underestimate Lilia. She has now become an indispensable part of the academy."
As Dorothy continued her story, Mo Cheng heard an even more bizarre and outrageous story.
After the homework writing platform business grew to several classes, Lilia not only had no intention of stopping, but even thought about going further.
How to go further, expand to more classes?
No, Lilia turned her gaze to the teachers.
Lilia is very popular and loved by teachers in many elective courses because of her perfect aptitude in all subjects, her hard work and high comprehension, and her ability to draw inferences from one example.
She realized that the platform she created did not have monopoly technical support, so it would soon be imitated and competition would arise, and she would inevitably be dragged into the vortex of price wars.
So she turned her attention to her own unique and irreplaceable resources.
Her [perfect qualifications in all departments] and her connections that made her popular and well-liked by many teachers.
Therefore, relying on the teachers' love for her, Lilia would often go to the teachers to ask questions. At the same time, she would make some comments through the platform employees about the lack of homework. After stimulating the teachers to assign more homework, she would often take the initiative to help the teachers correct the homework.
Given Lilia's grades, the teachers naturally didn't worry about any problems.
Then, I don’t know what method she used, but she attracted some teachers to join her platform and give private tutoring to students.
Although the Winterhold Magic Academy itself has paid tutoring services, the price is not affordable for most students for a long time, and some teachers whose classes are not large or popular also find it difficult to make money from tutoring.
It was even thought that after the Winterhold Magical Academy left Fairhaven, some of the expenditures that were considered teacher benefits were cut, making it difficult for some teachers who were not well-off to earn an income.
At the same time, the class hours in the college are fixed, and each class has a dedicated classroom for use.
So Lilia changed the format and asked students to raise funds to hire teachers to join the platform. At the same time, she used her own connections to summarize the usage of each classroom to maximize the use of those classrooms that were not in use.
Although the price the platform gives to teachers is not as high as that set by the college, it is more stable in the long term, and students do not need to bear the high cost of tutoring alone, but can share the cost with multiple people.
When the number of people on the platform is large enough, Lilia will compile statistics and archive the information of students and teachers, and provide personalized consulting services to provide students with a set of the simplest and easiest graduation credit plan.
If you become a VIP member, you can even find teachers on the platform and develop a direct admission plan for them or even provide one-on-one tutoring.
Lilia then madly expanded the platform she created, swallowing up both teachers and students.
By the time Winterhold Magic Academy reacted, Lilia's platform had extended to every aspect of the academy, and the platform's main employees even accounted for 20% of the entire academy's teachers and students.
She even redistributed the college's funds, with grassroots teachers getting 30%, mid-level teachers getting 30%, senior directors getting 35%, and Lilia herself getting 5%.
After hearing the whole story, Mo Cheng couldn't help but look at the ceiling.
Many concepts that he had come into contact with before kept popping up in his mind, but those things had long been almost forgotten along with the life on the continent of Kovale. He did not expect to recall them in this way today.
"The education-based training system and the delayed settlement platform tie all employees to the chariot..."
"And the ratio of the money, damn, this girl wants to be Inspector Lei Luo!"
Suddenly, Mo Cheng seemed to have thought of something and looked around quickly.
There are many more magical instruments in the office of the director of the Starry Sky Department. Just at the first glance, you can tell that these things sparkling with magical light are very expensive.
This was somewhat inconsistent with what he knew about the Starry Sky Fund. Mo Cheng raised his head and looked at Dorothy. "The teachers that Lilia's platform initially recruited couldn't be..."
"Although it seems incompetent for me to say this, I have to admit..."
Dorothy sighed and looked out the window. "Originally, I just thought it was fun and wanted to play with Lilia, but I didn't expect her to make such a big deal out of it. Now the Platform has become the largest organization in the academy."
"If the academy has a vice-president, then Lilia is the current vice-president."
