[0596] Forerunner of the king
After discovering the enthusiasm of the Picheng people and the Zuan people, Yasuo was quite surprised at first.
What's going on?
I just want to add fuel to this great exploration career, why did the flames rise so high in a blink of an eye?
Just because of a travelogue, the people of Picheng can be so crazy, and even the people of Zuan are silenced into the damp and hot jungle with their heads in their hands?
However, as Yasuo gradually understood the development of the storm, he finally let out a long sigh - it turned out that I was not the only one who fueled the fire with this incident!
Although it seems that all the news about Kumangu is reported by the public media, and there is enough evidence of "objective and fairness" that everything can't be true anymore, in Piltwolf, is the public media really objective and fair?
Yasuo is not from Picheng himself, and he has almost no decent connections in Picheng, but this does not mean that he lacks understanding of the city of Piltwolf.
In other words, it was precisely the form of Piltwolf that he understood better.
When Ionia and Piltwov started trade, almost the trade agreement here had just been signed, and Picheng Daily was ready to be out of the list - this amazing efficiency was almost to make things like "Picheng Daily is the official media" obvious in front of Yasuo.
Perhaps for things like gossip, Piltwolf's public media relies on paparazzi to spy on intelligence, but it is related to diplomacy. Yasuo does not think that Picheng Daily can extend its tentacles to the negotiation site. After all, according to the open equity statement, Picheng Daily is an "independent and free" media, and an independent and free media naturally cannot have the ability to be able to see the sky.
To be cautious, Yasuo Ginhex led the way and deliberately used the Ionia Embassy to consult with Picheng's professional investment company for a series of background information on public media in the name of "advertising qualification inquiry".
The results obtained without exception also confirm Yasuo's speculation. Whether it is the Picheng Daily or the Picheng Evening News, all newspapers with names and surnames in Piltwolf and have a large circulation are almost "independent and free".
If independent and free public media can always get critical news and can always make it public "just right", there are only two possible reasons.
Either these media are a deeply buried coalition group; or these media are the bulletin boards of a large group.
Considering that in the past "events that can prove freedom of publishing in Picheng" sometimes these media have a lot of noise, the correct answer should be the latter.
That is, these media are bulletin boards for large interest groups.
After confirming this, Yasuo finally breathed a long sigh.
Perhaps at the beginning, the publication of that travel notion was just a coincidence. After all, even public media would not be able to make trouble with the help of the third page novel - but at least the subsequent deeds of those lucky people well proved the attitude of those in power.
Considering that almost all newspapers are adding fuel to the exploration of Kumangu, the attitude of the owners behind these newspapers is already very clear...
These interest groups happily inspire explorers and proletarians to enter the jungle.
As for why they did this, the reason is actually very simple.
First of all, no matter what kind of adventure, the most serious damage is always the pioneers. In fact, less than 40% of the explorers recruited by the Firos family have successfully returned to Picheng. You should know that most of the missions of these explorers are "finding the Midarda family's residence" and are more likely to be periphery-oriented. Only guys like Ezeril need to go deep into the rainforest.
Even for such an external task, more than half of the staff were reduced... Although the lives of Picheng in the world are not worth much, this level of casualties is still unwilling to accept by various interest groups.
There are also ways to not die like this - like the Midarda family, if you advance slowly, the losses will not be particularly large. But the key is that the Midarda family has been in this way for more than a year. With such an amazing first-mover advantage, other families can't catch up slowly, right?
People are all catching up, are you starting over here?
So, is there any way to avoid spending money and be fast?
There are, too!
Now this is - as long as you take advantage of the east wind of travel notes, start to incite through newspapers and other public media, and get a few typical examples, you will naturally have a bold person entering the ancient jungle of Kuman and willingly drive the king forward!
These guys who are desperately betting have no capital. Even if they put their heads on their belts and go deep into the rainforest, they will at most pick up a few pieces of gold and register a few rare patents. Compared with hiring people to explore, the advantage should not be too great!
In addition, this kind of agitation is also a means to "eliminate unstable factors" - only if the craziest group of retail investors dies on the beach and actually waits for the stalls developed by Kumangu to open, the number of people who grab food will be reduced later.
Compared with the Picheng Chamber of Commerce, which is formed as an alliance and an offense and defense, even if the straitor You Yong fights alone, he may only be able to get some insignificant soup in this feast. In the future, whether it is mining or economic crop farming, whether it is gold digging or emerging species cultivation, these are destined to be difficult to fall into the hands of retail investors.
After all...Piltwof, a city of progress, will never suppress monopoly!
Although the big businessmen in Picheng have a wealthy family, they are limited by Picheng's body size and many countries have limited trade. Therefore, if they have money, their influence does not seem so amazing.
But if the entire Piltwolf continues to develop like this and the market further expands, the industry monopoly brought by the Piltwolf Chamber of Commerce will create a large number of astonishing monopoly organizations. If this monopoly can be combined with power and power through some means, Piltwolf will probably replace Noxus and become the largest and most influential force in the Runeland.
In Yasuo's eyes, these are foreseeable—but they are also things he does not want to see.
No one knew better than Yasuo in the entire runeland. If things went to that point, Jinhex would become a violent monster that devoured human life.
However, merchants who do whatever they want for the sake of profit and have no bottom line and ignore tomorrow may not care about void or other existence at all. Perhaps the knowledgeable people among them will realize the danger, but there will always be merchants who take risks for profit and choose to embrace void.
