Chasing fashion trends is the group instinct of intelligent creatures, and no one wants to be treated as a country bun who has never seen the world by the people around them, and the feeling of being vaguely rejected by the mainstream society as an alien is really not very comfortable.

Those novel and interesting products can always create excess profits far higher than the actual value, just like the old world iPhone, successfully through guò marketing methods to build itself from a communication tool into an expensive luxury and fashionable value artifact, directly attracting countless petty bourgeoisie to spend a month, or even more than a month's salary to buy to show off, can be called the knowledge of selling things to do home.

There are also similarities in the series of products launched by Law Zhengdao in New World, from ordinary white paper used by people to write in their daily lives, to toilet paper that solves people's livelihood problems, to scented facial tissues that replace handkerchiefs, and the Winged Little Angel series products under the brand name of Friends of Women.

The humble paper industry alone has created tens of thousands of jobs for Qiongzhou in just a few years, and has made a lot of gold coins.

Growing the fast-growing thatch needed for the paper industry in Qiongzhou has become a lucrative sideline for farming, and it is much easier to grow than the tedious field water and fertilizer management required to grow food crops, with little management and maintenance. First, the natural vegetation is burned by fire, a wasteland is reclaimed, and the grass seeds are sprinkled, and then the harvest can be returned in two months. If it weren't for Luo Zhengdao, who had seen the consequences of the destruction of the natural environment in the old world, who repeatedly dissuaded him, and even used administrative means to crack down on and intimidate, those crazy farmers really wanted to cut down the rainforest on the island to grow grass, which was obviously a bit crazy too much.

No one will look at the mountains of gold coins without blushing, the trend of imitation of new products by merchants of the great powers has never subsided, however, Luo Zhengdao has extremely insidiously adopted a market share strategy of "you don't have me, sell at a high price first, and when you have it, I will sell it at a cabbage price", which made those imitators complain.

Out of their own national interests, both the Yaling Empire and the Elven Federation currently have a positive view of Luo Zhengdao, even if his opponents use all their resources to lobby for the establishment of a set of non-tariff trade barriers, this kind of plan that is not in the national interest can only end in ashes, and can only watch with envy and hatred as a large amount of gold coins run into the pockets of Luo Zhengdao and the local distributors.

Eat other people's soft mouths, take other people's hands short. Those in-law families have grabbed super profits from this cheap son-in-law, and they have made a lot of money by relying on new products produced in Qiongzhou and Wake Reef, and this favor is not easy to take for nothing. When Luo Zhengdao has some illegal requests, at least they sound reasonable, once he opens his mouth, it is difficult for his partner in a foreign country to refuse. There is no one in this world who is absolutely unbought, and anyone has a psychological bottom price, which is Luo Zhengdao's deepest personal understanding after studying politics systematically for several years.

It doesn't matter how high or low the moral limit is, unless the target object has reached the supreme spiritual realm of no desire and no desire, and even has no trace of affection, then the mixed use of emotion and reason can always break their psychological defense.

It is not necessary to buy with naked money, and offer a generous condition that the other party cannot refuse, which is indeed a profound skill. Just the most ordinary word fame and fortune has stewed nine out of nine mortals in the world, and the rest of the aliens have some individual appeals, excluding strange pursuits such as establishing an earthly kingdom of God, and almost everyone will be wiped out.

The self-proclaimed Buddha Shakyamuni, in order to save his motherland and the Shakyamuni people, stood up several times in front of the enemy army who launched a war of annihilation, hoping to prevent this disaster from coming with his own efforts, of course, the final outcome of the incident was also his disappointment. An enlightened person like the Buddha cannot be bought with money or fame, and as mentioned in the previous example, offering the right price at the right time can also make him feel genuinely happy. It may be shallow to say that it is a buy-off, but it is by no means impossible, and it is only necessary to judge in advance whether it is worth the huge cost of carrying out the action.

Pirates have an innate sensitivity to intelligence, and activities on the vast sea are not a matter of chance, and without intelligence support, they can't catch their prey in a staggered 10-minute voyage, so the significance of espionage activities to pirates is even greater than that of sophisticated weapons and powerful warships.

Sitting in a small boat, with broken copper and iron in hand, you can also go to sea to plunder, and assuming that there is a mistake in intelligence gathering, sorry, this idiot pirate can only wait to starve to death.

Luo Zhengdao did not forget his allies and shareholders when he spread the information, and he immediately began to send paperwork letters to these stakeholders, asking if they were aware of some risk factors that could affect the company's operations.

Needless to say, a joint-stock company is a good thing to promote the balance of interests, if shareholders do not want to see their stocks become worthless waste paper, then they had better work closely with Luo Zhengdao, the chairman of the board of directors who is in charge of the overall situation, to avoid the risk of encountering emergencies so that everyone can lose cleanly together.

In the new world, the secondary stock market is still a new thing that is unheard of, and shareholders who want to exit the company can only sell their shares back to the company to get back the investment capital, to be precise, such operations should be called stock buybacks or share withdrawals. Those shares that have not been registered and transferred in private cannot exercise their rights and interests normally, God knows if they are robbed or not, and the more thieves den, the more necessary to strengthen the anti-theft work, this sentence is especially applicable to pirates. At the first general meeting of shareholders of the joint-stock company, the participating pirates voted to establish a complex registration method that allowed only the transfer of registered shares, as it would be safer and more secure.

"Well, these guys really dare to say anything!"

It didn't take long for him to receive feedback messages sent back like snowflakes from all over the world, Luo Zhengdao looked at these messages and began to worry again, this time it was not because there was no news, but because there were too many messages. These shareholders were afraid of being said that they were not on the road, and all the rumors of being reliable and unreliable were posted. In addition to the more conventional apocalyptic theories, theories such as Ragnarok and the outer crystal wall system are about to enter have appeared, and some people have even sworn that the universe is about to reopen, the six elements will return to chaos, everything will be overturned, you will be saved, hurry up and believe in xx to get eternal life......

, looking at these exaggerated themes that can be used as a story outline and can be coded to write tens of millions of words of online articles without much effort, Luo Zhengdao really can't cry or laugh, do you guys have any discipline!

The farce continued until Zola Hegel appeared in front of Luo Zhengdao, and the boatswain slapped a proclamation on his hand at the first time. Looking down twice, it was actually written in lingua franca, Luo Zhengdao read through it with a little difficulty, and the content of this notice shocked him.

"Is this true? The spider queen is crazy? ”

His eyes widened, and Luo Zhengdao, who had lost his kingly demeanor, jumped on his feet and asked Zora about the inside story, and the boatswain pushed away his hands that grabbed his clothes, and said angrily:

"I don't know if the she-spider is crazy, do you think I'm someone who likes to tell boring jokes?"

Not to mention, Zola, a great pirate who does not smile, really doesn't like to joke with people, calmed down his mind a little, Luo Zhengdao said in a deep voice:

"There's no way, the drow elves are going to stab me, and we can't stop it, so get ready to fight!"

The matter is neither complicated nor weird, and Queen Rose has issued a divine decree ordering the Drow Elves to assassinate Will Needham with all their might, and whoever can complete the task will gain his favor. Although the notice doesn't specify what the incentives will be, it's a trivial matter based on the Drow's usual virtues. In order to please the spider queen and overwhelm their competitors, those Drow family housewives can do anything, maybe a large number of Drow elf assassins have already rushed to Qiongzhou, and Luo Zhengdao must remember to open one eye when he sleeps at night in the future

The reason why the construction of the first all-steel battleship Titan was not placed on Wake Reef was mainly because of the lack of manpower, and the old dock on Wake Reef could not be stuffed with such a large and perverted giant ship without modification, so the project could only be moved to the newly built giant dry dock in Haikou City.

To build such a new warship with an unprecedented tonnage, it would take a lot of manpower just to transport, store, and manufacture supporting parts, as well as the initial processing of raw materials, and there were many supporting items such as weapon systems and power systems. The harsh natural environment of Wake Reef was showing signs of a sluggish industrial succession at this time, and the total population of the Wake Reef settlement was limited by the daily supply of fresh water from the Mage Tower, which limited the size of the workers and could not cope with the additional demand. Moreover, the Wake Reef Shipyard originally had a backlog of half-pulled shipbuilding projects, and Luo Zhengdao was embarrassed to continue to increase the weight, and whipping fast cattle was not such a game.

Part of Luo Zhengdao's intention to build this world's largest giant ship was precisely out of consideration to deter internal and external enemies, if those potential enemies were difficult to perceive this news, wouldn't he have shown it to the blind man in vain?

Walking on the stone embankment, stepping on the hard granite strips, in the spacious dry dock next to it, thousands of shipbuilders are welding the ship planks of the Titan in groups, dozens of groups of people and horses start work at the same time, the brilliant scene of fire trees and silver flowers is like a fireworks show, if it were not for Luo Zhengdao's order to prohibit idle people and other people to join in the fun, it is estimated that the construction site would have become a popular local tourist attraction.

"How's the construction going?"

The chief engineer in charge of the construction of the Titan is a half-elf male from the Elven Federation, with thirty years of experience in the shipbuilding industry, and his technical level is even more first-class.

It is said that one of the advantages of Luo Zhengdao marrying a half-elf wife is that he is regarded as his own by these mixed-race races, although he can't talk about how close he is, he is willing to work in such a close place to the war zone, which is already for the double face of gold coins and Vina. In the old world, there is the so-called good learning of mathematics, physics and chemistry, it is better to have a good father's dick silk remarks, in fact, real talents are never short of places, and no one will ask you what your background is. There is no place to stay here, there is a place to stay here, only those parasites who rely on social relations to survive do not see it that way.

Hearing Luo Zhengdao's question, the handsome and dashing half-elf chief engineer pushed the rattan helmet with his hand, and with a confident smile on his face, he said:

"The keel part has been laid, the welding progress of the ribs is 15%, and according to the original plan, it should be launched in the water in 18 months to start drying."
