Chapter 41: Contempt

Prince Albert has become a Leica fan, quite supportive of Downing, the children like Uncle Downing, and Her Majesty has to compromise and decide to let Princess Victoria appear, which is a compromise.

At the end of September, the world's highest-density full-color printing of the world's highest network cable made the headlines on the front page of The Telegraph – a small gift for Her Majesty's family.

Princess Victoria is a lovely 12-year-old girl with excellent character and learning, much better than her younger brother who is not a scholar and has no skills. Her adorable smile will infect every subject of the British Empire. Her younger siblings watched the jokes of the newcomers, and their expressions were also remarkably joyful. The most touching is the 4-year-old little Princess Louise, this is the king of cute kings, she is the most beautiful of all the princesses, and she is not laughing, but a little unhappy, because ...... She didn't receive a gift from Uncle Downing, and she couldn't reach the bicycle, so it didn't matter, Princess Meng was unhappy anyway.

The Telegraph has become one of the top 10 newspapers in London with a daily circulation of 3,000+ thanks to its beautiful isofineness Helvetica font, fast news, and distinctive and eloquent information related to current affairs. It has a light taste, never talks about murder, cheating, and scandals, and presents global events as objectively as possible in a neutral manner, winning many high-style hardcore users.

The Telegraph Printing House provides advanced automatic typesetting technology for three of the top 10 newspapers, including the Daily News, and has a strong production capacity, taking advantage of this rare distribution of royal gossip, it has been reprinted to 15,000 copies, and all of them are sold out, as long as you see the smiling face of Princess Victoria, there are few who are not converted into Telegraph users.

Today's newspaper boss is, of course, The Times, with more than 40,000 copies a day, but today its sales have plummeted to just 30,000 copies, all of which have been stolen by the Telegraph.

The rise of the Times is largely due to its pioneering use of the steam-engine printing machine, and in the early 19th century, the Morning Post, the Chronicle Morning Post, the Herald Morning Herald, and The Times all had a circulation of several thousand copies. At this time, the government's control over the press was still relatively serious, and there were many kinds of taxes levied on newspapers, including paper tax, postmark tax (newspapers at this time were basically distributed through post offices), advertising tax, etc.

With the rise of the House of Commons and the relaxation of newspaper taxes, newspaper circulation continued to rise, and by the 50s, The Times was the leader with more than 40,000 copies. Now, of course, the advantage of more timely news brought about by his printing speed has been gradually replaced by the Telegraph and the newspapers it prints on its behalf, and other newspapers are cheaper.

The Times was also at odds with British telecommunications companies because they did not cooperate with their global source plans, and they were eager to keep Downing on the momentum, so they were at the vanguard of Lionel's public opinion war. Compared to the elegance and calmness of the Knights of the Telegraph Round Table, they appear to be a bit aggressive in the fight, which is why they have further declined.

There is no doubt that the production of bicycles has been booming due to the artistic appeal of epoch-making dynamic photographs, pushing the number of rentals to more than 1,000 per day, and the proving grounds in North Wick Park are full every day.

Under the coercion and temptation of Lionel's forces, Downing's subordinate BT Five Tigers will be peacefully evolved into three, but they only know three of the five core manufacturing processes, and they still can't resume the production of the British Telegraph Company, and the other two, out of worship and awe of Downing, were ordered to slip through Europe, I don't know where.

However, perhaps too confident, Downing did not even appear in court in person for such a major lawsuit, and with the support of the testimony of three tainted witnesses, the jury found that Downing, as the president, deliberately sent the company's core engineers to Europe for trumped-up reasons, harming the company's interests, and if production was not resumed, Downing would compensate the British Telegraph Company 1,000 pounds a day.

A thousand a day, 365 a thousand a year, 36. With a huge fine of 50,000 pounds, it is estimated that there are few local tyrants in the UK who can support such a huge expenditure, except for the super tyrant Downing. The big tyrant who is so coaxing can't even bother to continue to appeal, isn't it 36. £50,000? Here you go! Take it! He wrote a check to the British Telegraph Company every week, as the court had requested, £7,000, dear, and took it to buy snacks.

Of course, this thousand pounds a day is not unlimited, the maximum is two years, it seems that the big tyrant is planning to fight for two years of fines, and then BT goes bankrupt.

Lionel and his faction don't believe that Downing is willing to fight for two years, because when the two years are up, they can sue Downing again! Wait and see, no matter how local tyrants are, they will ruin your reputation!

The two sides are officially locked in a long stalemate. Lionel also wanted to apply to the court to restrict Downing from leaving the country, but was rejected, such an excessive request, it is really impossible to make a move against the big tyrants who are fighting with the queen's family.
