Chapter 117: Media (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Passes)

The dining room became a makeshift conference room, and people from all walks of life gathered, including Robin and Eric, who had been waiting here in advance, and sat in their places in confusion. They and Anne had been here since they parted in the morning, but they didn't expect Anne to come back with Young Master Liang.

When everyone was seated, the maid brought some delicate biscuits and poured red wine for everyone.

Da Liang knocked on his milk cup and said, "I came back a little early today, and the kitchen is preparing lunch." Guests can stay here for a meal and now have any questions to ask. ”

Anne knew that Da Liang's last sentence was to herself, and what happened at the newspaper office made her ask impatiently: "Young Master Liang, about the arms in the arsenal of the Blue Cathedral, I have already told Robin my opinion and asked him to convey it to you...... It seems that he didn't have time to tell you.

I'll reply to you right here...... I agreed to the deal, and 500,000 gold pounds in exchange for the weapons to disappear from the Blue Cathedral.

Then, I wondered what the hell was going on today. With your strength, in the face of this little trouble of the City Daily, there should be no need for me and the Special Security Bureau to storm the newspaper office with great fanfare. ”

Brown was also very puzzled. The scene he had just seen in the editorial hall of the City Daily really shocked him. It's just a verbal altercation...... Why did you provoke so many big shots? The Special Security Service and the Police Department are even more in a fierce fight.

"Young Master Liang, will today's incident be too big?"

Da Liang picked up a biscuit from the table and put it in his mouth, crunchy with the rich aroma of fresh milk. Then he said, "Miss Anne...... Why did I ask you to take someone to the city newspaper today, you will find out tomorrow. In short, the council is ready to stir up public opinion through the many newspapers in the city of Saloyan to do something big, and no matter what they do, we are certainly not wrong to let them do it.

During these five days, I want to make sure that there is no mess in Saroyan and that everything will make way for our deal.

The conspiracy of the council and the city daily newspaper happened to hit me on the muzzle of my gun, so I will use your power to strike them. ”

Da Liang's answer was tantamount to no answer, and Anne still didn't know what the root cause of this incident was. But Da Liang was reluctant to say, and Anne couldn't insist on asking, after all, it was definitely beneficial to the empire to sabotage the conspiracy between the council and the city daily.

"Thank you Young Master Liang for what you have done for the empire, and I am also very much looking forward to tomorrow's answer."

Da Liang grabbed another biscuit and ate it, and said to Annie, "This is the extra benefit I gave you for that arms deal......

Then let's talk about City Daily.

For the next five days, the entire front page of the City Daily will be devoted to reporting on the Dock Academy of Magic. Then the Council of Marcellus will realize that this most authoritative newspaper of Saroyan is controlled by Mr. Brown, and that behind Mr. Brown must be you and your Special Security Bureau.

In order to stabilize the situation in Sarojan, we cannot remain in a passive position in public opinion and allow the parliament to smear and fan the hatred of the citizens of Saroyan and the Marcellians against the Frominque Empire.

We must have our own mouthpiece in our hands to speak for our interests at Marcellus. ”

Da Liang's words made Anne embarrassed, and she said: "Although we coerced the editor-in-chief Garcia today to sabotage the plan of tomorrow's council, the council has a very strong control over the city daily. If the editor-in-chief Garcia no longer works for the council, then the council will definitely replace him, and the editor-in-chief Garcia is only one of the majority shareholders of the city daily. The council only needs to convene a meeting of shareholders to regain control of the city daily......

And...... The Empire, of course, knows the importance of public opinion. We also ran newspapers in Saloyan that served the Empire, but the newspapers that advertised the Empire's contribution to the prosperity of Marcellus were all unsold, and were soon bought out of bankruptcy and taken control by the Parliament.

In terms of public opinion, Frominck has a natural disadvantage here. ”

When it comes to public opinion, Anne is also very helpless.

Everyone knows that public opinion is the first battlefield where the two forces clash, and although there is no real blood, the intensity is no less than that of a real war.

Whoever can win the battle of public opinion will be able to gain more popular support. Once public opinion is mobilized, it can sometimes outperform a strong iron army. If a hot war really breaks out, the side that wins the hearts and minds of the people will definitely have more troops and financial support.

Of course, the empire knows the importance of the competition for public opinion, and has invested a lot of money and made a lot of efforts, but all of them have been defeated for thousands of miles. As Anne said, the empire has an inherent disadvantage in Marcellus, and a hundred years of rule not only did not allow Marcellus to integrate into the empire, but made them go further and further, and the ideologies and values of the two have a gap that cannot be crossed.

The newspapers that preach the Empire and speak good for the Empire could not be sold at all in Marcellus, and in the end they had to wait for bankruptcy.

Da Liang also knew that controlling a Garcia editor-in-chief could not control the city daily, he wanted five days of the front page of the city daily, and in the end, two days were Garcia's extraordinary performance.

As a traverser who was once surrounded by the media, Da Liang also knows how much influence the media has on business. If you want to make money, media publicity can be a booster; On the other hand, if you offend the media and be smeared by a round, no matter how good a businessman is, he can be knocked to the ground with a stick.

In the competition between the various forces of Salo Yang, Da Liang has already carried the label of the imperial side. Although he has not yet attracted the attention of the Parliament, as his business system gradually becomes operational, he will eventually face resistance from all sides.

Of course, he can solve all the troubles that come his way by force.

But violence to solve problems has never been a favorite method for Da Liang, and violence carries too much uncertainty. "When Brother Long took out the knife, he never imagined that he would be killed." Excessive superstition in force will only lead to death by force.

Da Liang likes order, and he believes that if he does not have the ability to destroy order, he should obey it; If there is the ability to disrupt order, then it is all the more important to maintain order.

Therefore, since you are involved in business, you will follow the business rules of this world.

If Da Liang doesn't want his chamber of commerce to be unable to fight back when it is attacked by opponents in the future, he must support a media that speaks for himself from this time.

At least when new products are launched in the future, this will not be the case today...... If you can get the matter of publishing in the newspaper in one sentence, Da Liang is not willing to spend so much saliva.

Quarrels are a specialty that can be enjoyed once in a while...... It can't be a hobby.
