Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

Perfectly efficient market is a concept in economics.

It refers to a completely ideal market in which there are infinite buyers and sellers, and a single market action will not cause price changes in the market. At the same time, products are homogeneous, and companies cannot form a monopoly and enjoy monopoly benefits through product specificity. Moreover, this is a market where resources are fully flowing, information is completely open and complete, and there are no information barriers.

"Of course it's impossible, but I will try my best to let people obtain as much information about the market as possible at the lowest possible cost." Murphy said.

Patrick understood, "This is the ultimate of market economy, but it is also close to the ultimate of planned economy."

Whether it is a market or a plan, the ultimate goal is to achieve more effective regulation. The flaw of the market economy actually lies in the opacity of market information. Most people are unable to see clearly the direction of the market across information barriers, resulting in a waste of productivity.

The shortcoming of the planned economy is that it cannot make real-time and reasonable adjustments based on changes in market information.

In fact, even if the computing power of the pioneers is increased by one million times, it will not be able to fully and rationally control the entire market, because the market is composed of countless individuals, and the complexity of human behavior makes it impossible to completely predict the market. Naturally, changes cannot be completely rationally controlled.

Unless there is a super sociological achievement similar to Asimov's "psychohistory" in the future that can accurately predict the overall behavior of human beings, otherwise, this is an N-body problem, and N is greater than or equal to 100 million.

So Murphy settled for the next best thing and simply chose to provide as much information as possible, lower information barriers, and let the market adjust itself based on the information.

This can be regarded as a kind of decentralized calculation without a center. It is essentially the same as the ultimate form of OGAS, except that the plan is forced distribution, while the market is an active choice. Obviously everyone prefers the latter.

Everyone likes the feeling of freedom, and there is no need for Murphy to risk the world's disapproval.

"But in terms of management and control of the government and public industries, the OGAS system is much better than the existing bureaucratic system. It will basically advance more than 90%. I will not lay off everyone, but basically all positions of authority will not be laid off. Stay, and transactional people will keep a part of it.”

"So, you can control that mastermind?" Patrick understood.

Murphy shrugged, "Of course, otherwise I will be a slave to the machine?"

Patrick nodded. In this case, he has no doubts about this. If it can be done as stated in the general outline, the OGAS system can be combined with the expert team to make optimal decisions on any public affairs in real time and directly implement them. After all, there is no issue of execution at all.

Then Murphy's decision is the most reasonable.

In fact, the reason why so-called management agencies or bureaucracies exist is that someone must do the management work.

What most bureaucrats and managers do is actually dealing with people, how to implement some policies and decisions, and they face some endogenous resistance "because it is composed of people". .

The struggle between emperors and bureaucrats, the conflict of interests between shareholders and managers, and the fundamental contradictions are all like this.

When people can implement rational decisions to the execution end without the need for people, the management organization immediately loses the fundamental meaning of its existence.

"The last thing is people's livelihood and personal aspects," Murphy said. "I will do it more thoroughly than the OGAS plan. In the future, all electronic equipment, all sensor terminals, and all mechanical equipment in the Soviet Union will be connected to the national mastermind."

"Everything and everyone in the country will have no secrets or privacy in front of me. But at the same time, for anyone else, any organization or individual, their secrets and privacy will be protected to the maximum extent."

In the future before Murphy traveled, capital could already do this through big data.

However, their power has not been used to better promote a fair and efficient market, but has been used to intensify efforts to build information barriers, achieve precise squeeze on others through control of information, and desperately use this to grab more benefits.

This is another territory that will be occupied by the enemy if you don't occupy it.

Rather than handing it over to other capital, Murphy felt it was better to hand it over to himself.

Patrick understood, "I didn't expect that you would eventually become the emperor... No, this is probably closer to a god."

"One last question," Patrick said, "Are you going to do the same in England?"

Murphy nodded, "Yes, the form will be different, but the actual actions will not be much different. What do you think?"

Patrick thought for a while, "Of course I support you. In today's world, people's spontaneous power cannot achieve that ideal society. You may be the absolute violence that can force the world to move forward."

Murphy curled his lips, "We haven't even used violence yet, but you just said that, when I use violence later, I still have to be regarded as the devil?"

Patrick smiled and said, "It's just a pity. I didn't expect that I would soon step down as soon as I became prime minister."

"It's still early," Murphy said, "This plan cannot be completed overnight. The transitional stage is very important. You still have to be prime minister for a few years. Oh, but if you are preparing to amend the constitution for the second time, then you will not be the prime minister. It’s the president.”

"There is a plan," Patrick said, "but the resistance is too great. It is difficult to succeed now. We need an opportunity."

"Like a world war?" Murphy laughed.

"Haha, you really know how to joke. Even if I want to be Churchill, this move is too big..."

Then Patrick frowned and asked uncertainly, "Are you kidding?"

Murphy's smile faded a little, "Not really."

"What? This is no joke. The nuclear bombs in the hands of the Soviet Union and the Beautiful Country are enough to destroy mankind hundreds of times. Once the cold war turns into a hot war, it will be the end!"

"So, I also hope that it can be resolved peacefully." Murphy said.

Patrick frowned, "What exactly do you want to solve? It doesn't sound like a trade blockade or a competitor in magic research."

"We will face an enemy," Murphy said. "I haven't figured out what the enemy looks like, how many there are, and how strong it is, but there is a high probability that it will be very scary."

"Until then, we need to come together, focus our efforts and prepare."

"However, the world is still in disarray, and we cannot win in this state."

Patrick's eyes widened, "You want...you want to conquer the world??!!"

"It's too ugly to talk about conquest. Unification is unification." Murphy said.

"Are you serious?!" Patrick's head was buzzing.

"A little bit. It depends on whether they listen or not."

"But... the nuclear bomb..."

"Nuclear bombs are indeed powerful. But they must also be able to explode." Murphy said, "Moreover, nuclear bombs may not be the most terrifying weapon."

"Speaking of which, the military department of Umbrella Industries has produced a lot of good stuff recently. Do you want to take a look?"

"You mean, weapons?"

"Yes, weapons. The kind that can conquer... well, I mean, the kind that can unify the world."
