When the situation in various places gathered in Anyang, the newly established Anyang Daily was already selling like hot cakes. For two copper coins, you could read so much interesting information, as well as official laws and policies, etc. It was very popular.
But more people want to know how Anyang will act in this incident, or in the subsequent struggle for hegemony among the separatist regimes of the Great Xia Kingdom
Not only outsiders wanted to know, but even Xu Ren and others gathered here with Li Xian, wanting to ask him what to do next.
"Business empire!" Li Xian's eyes lit up, "I've said long ago that my goal is to have an empire in form, an unprecedented form.
In general, a country develops by taking the country as its body, counties as its internal organs, cities as its acupuncture points, national strength as its true essence, and national will as its realm.
But the business empire will be completely different. We use wealth as our blood and gold, silver and copper as our carriers to absorb the luck of the fairyland.
Our bodies represent the business of the entire fairyland. We must use commerce, wealth, trade routes, concessions, etc. to build our bodies, and use force to defend everything we have.
When others fight, we sell arms!
When others are peaceful, we sell normal goods!
This is my first step goal.
As for the next goal, we will buy and sell countries, emperors, and even the opportunity to become immortals, etc. Through these means, we will develop our business empire.
From now on, if an emperor wants to ascend the throne, he has to look at our face! If an immortal wants to ascend to heaven, he has to look at our face! If a country wants to be rich, it has to look at our face! If an ambitious person wants to dominate, he also has to look at our face!
In the future, we will imitate the way of heaven, become omnipresent, and let the whole world be under our control!
Haha, I've been wanting to say this for a long time, and I finally said it today. From now on, we will all ascend together, and our goal is not to become an immortal, but the Great Dao!
Heaven and earth treat all things as straw dogs, and we control the world with business!
This time, Daxia is in civil strife. All we have to do is sell our products to all parties. From airplanes to motorcycles, from artillery to crossbows, everything except core technology products is for sale!"
When Li Xian's ambition was made public, even Xu Ren was stunned for a while - so this is your business empire? No, you said business kingdom in the past, but now it has become a business empire!
What is the difference between a kingdom and an empire? The difference is obvious. An empire is "centralized". To be precise, a commercial kingdom is a term used to describe the outside world, a smokescreen.
Seeing everyone's surprise, Li Xian paused for a while before continuing, "In fact, my thoughts are also slowly changing and adjusting. Nothing in this world is immutable, and policies may be adjusted in the future. Now that we have made breakthroughs in many key technologies, it is time to build a business empire. But to build a business empire, we still lack a key component, that is, an independently operated financial institution, which I would like to call a 'bank'. Through the bank, the wealth of the world will be gathered in our hands. And through the repeated circulation of gold and silver, the fortune of the world can be gathered in our hands little by little!"
