"That's good." Du Dian took the newspaper and said at the same time: "Remember to keep an eye on the factory, don't let them inquire about the new textile machines inside, the longer we hide it, the more we earn."
"I will." Flynn nodded. After seeing the new textile machine, he had already transferred all the attendants of the castle to patrol outside the factory. Even the knight guarding the gate of the castle had changed from a four-person shift to two People work all day.
Du Dian opened the newspaper, and immediately saw the headline page above - Mellon consortium invested huge sums of money to build a gold and antique chamber of commerce. In the future, the exchange rate between gold coins and silver coins is expected to increase
Below this piece of news is the second piece of news: The Sterling consortium is undervalued, capital turnover problems, or causing the collapse of the industrial chain.
Du Dian looked slowly from top to bottom, and suddenly asked: "Which news agency is this newspaper from?"
"A news agency run by the Mellon Consortium." Flynn guessed what Du Dian was thinking, and said, "This news agency has a very high sales volume of newspapers, and it is one of the most well-run industries under the Mellon Consortium, second only to The Huasheng Consortium and the news agency of the military department."
Du Dian nodded. No wonder most of the above news is related to the Mellon Consortium. Although there are not many mentions on the surface, the hidden sources of interests all tend to the Mellon Consortium, including the reported Scott Consortium and other consortiums. , They all adopt the method of news suppression. The advantage of doing so is that it can take into account the wealthy businessmen who are about to join the Scott consortium and other consortia.
Although the consortium mainly consisted of nobles, many rich merchants in the business district were also a mainstay, accumulating small amounts of money, and the wealth they created was not inferior to some upper-class nobles.
"'Xinshi Consortium' has no nobles and wealthy businessmen to join for the time being. How long can it last with the support of the Ryan family alone?" Du Dian glanced at a piece of news at the bottom of the newspaper. The professional analysis on the Internet points out the disadvantages and weaknesses of the Ryan family, as well as the fatal points that are difficult to develop.
Du Dian glanced roughly, what was said above was straightforward, not to mention other people, even he had to nod in agreement.
"It seems that in the eyes of the Mellon Consortium, their real enemies are the Scott Consortium and other consortiums. We are just a small role. Just pay attention to it and clean it up. We don't even have much space in the newspapers, unless we pay attention to Our aristocrats or wealthy businessmen, otherwise ordinary people simply ignore this place, which is also to prevent propaganda for our consortium." Du Di'an put down the newspaper and said lightly.
Flynn sighed: "That's right, if the target is too obvious, reporting our consortium on the headlines, even if it is a negative report, will increase our reputation. The news agency of the Mellon consortium has been established for many years, and it is well aware of public opinion. The essence of campaigning." Speaking of this, I couldn't help but glanced at Du Dian, realizing this, it can be seen that this young man's mind is also extremely sharp, it is hard to imagine that he is just a child who grew up in an ordinary civilian family.
Du Dian said: "Is there any deep festival between the Scott Consortium and the Mellon Consortium?"
"They are old rivals." Flynn said: "The Scott consortium started from the mining industry. Now the mining chain covers three regions and hundreds of small towns. The Mellon consortium also wanted to come over a few years ago to get a share. Contradictions arise."
Du Dian nodded slightly, and it was normal to be jealous.
"Is that batch of alchemy goods sold today?" Du Dian asked.
Seeing that he asked this, Fulin showed a smile on his face and said: "Speaking of which, I have seen that thing before. It is indeed very practical and has a huge potential market. It should completely replace the fire sickle and become a must-have item for every household. You make it The 1,000 boxes that were released have sold more than 200 boxes today, and it has been completely spread in the small town. It is estimated that after a few days of fermentation, it will spread to other nearby small towns, and the supply will be in short supply."
"Well." Du Dian nodded slightly, "The trouble will come at that time, the alchemists of other consortiums will buy it back and analyze it, you will take all the funds in your hand to prepare the materials, it is a pity that we don't have enough money, otherwise the All the production materials in the market are bought out. When other consortiums produce them, our reputation has already started. The sense of security that people subconsciously pursue will also become a habit of buying things. They will buy in old stores. Can't grab much business."
"Yes, it's a pity." Fulin was equally sorry, even heartbroken. Although the price of this thing is cheap, it can't stand the high sales volume. If every household uses it, what a huge number it will be, and it is a consumable , I will buy it again when I run out, and the value of the property is almost comparable to the large industries mainly operated by other consortiums. It's a pity that they have small mouths and can't eat this big cake. They can only eat as soon as possible before this big cake is snatched by others.
"Our snowball is about to roll, and the funds recovered in our hands must be invested in it again immediately." Du Dian saw the heartache on his face, but there were not too many disturbances in his heart. This was expected early in the morning. Rise It was difficult, but his fall was very simple. He didn't have the capital to monopolize the huge market of matches for the time being, but his original goal, he had no intention of monopolizing, and that was beyond his reach.
However, he won't make others cheap for nothing, even if he loses an apple that he can't eat, not everyone can pick it up and eat it.
"Go back and contact the Scott Consortium and tell them about our alchemy product. The name of this thing is 'match'. We'd better find the consortium in advance when other consortiums know the value of matches, and tell them Cooperation, they take the big ones, we take the small ones, let these big consortiums fight with other consortiums, we just need to roll up the funds as soon as possible, rent the passage to the outside of the wall, and no one can shake our future status!" Du Dian Leaning on the bed, he gave Fulin instructions.
Flynn was stunned, his eyes lit up, and said: "This is a good idea, and the Scott Foundation should accept it. Since we can't eat it, it will be even worse to force it. It's better to maximize the benefits." Speaking of this, I couldn't help but take a look at this white-skinned boy. At first, I thought he was a thoughtful jailbreaker, and later I thought he was a cold-blooded and brutal hunter. Until yesterday, I still thought that he was a natural tailor, but now I realized that he Obviously a treacherous black businessman.
"At such a young age, your heart is darker than mine." Flynn sighed, and suddenly thought of something, and said, "There is also a newspaper from the military department, they report information on some prisoners, wanted information, and information on the court , with the latest investigation on the assassination of Deacon Hollett."
Du Dian moved his eyes and said, "Show me."
