The National Theatre at Krasbourg ushered in an unprecedented atmosphere, with all the participants spontaneously giving a standing ovation to pay the highest respect to His Royal Highness the Prince, who truly cares about artistic creation and sincerely works for the welfare of creators.

"Your Highness, the idea of creating a National Press and Publications Association is really wonderful, when you first proposed it, I thought it was just a Shimizu Yamen similar to the 'Writers Association', but after listening to your explanation, I realized that this is a commercial organization that centrally manages and operates copyrights, I really admire that you can come up with such a good idea." John Pulit admired Rowland from the bottom of his heart.

Roland still had a smile on his face, but he was secretly ashamed in his heart.

"Centralized management and operation of copyright", Mr. News Director's words express the essence of the "Press and Publication Association". In fact, this organization was not conceived by Roland, but was largely based on the "newspaper syndicate" on the planet.

The so-called "newspaper syndicate" refers to the paid sharing of news reports, news photos and op-eds between different newspapers and magazines, so as to break the pattern of various media market segments and establish a large-scale resource sharing platform in order to produce excellent news works.

No matter how beautiful it sounds, in a word, this is a commercial monopoly, and it is one of the very few monopolies on the planet that is not subject to harsh criticism from the government and the public, which monopolizes the market for the supply of newspaper and periodical content, but also protects the intellectual property rights of creators to the greatest extent, and delivers more major reports and excellent works to more readers in a more timely manner.

Roland's creation of such a high-quality copy of the "press and publication syndicate" in the Far East was not an idea of inspiration. In addition to the publicly proclaimed slogans such as "for the benefit of literary and artistic creators" and "properly protect and fully exploit the copyright of works", he also has an inconvenient reason for doing so.

In fact, Roland has long been aware of the importance of the press and publishing industry, and realized that publications represented by newspapers and magazines are a vital platform for public opinion, and if he does not take the initiative to grasp this position, the enemy will attack this position, so that the propaganda work of the Kolas government will fall into passivity.

In order to grasp the position of public opinion propaganda, it is necessary to establish a system of censorship of the press and publication, to conduct meticulous examination of news reports and literary and artistic works before they are published, and to eliminate those works that corrupt the social atmosphere or are harmful to the image of the state government.

The work is not honorable and very tricky. Napoleon tried to control the press of the First French Empire, Bismarck did the same in Prussia and later the German Empire, Stalin and Hitler did similar things, but they did not really do so, and even paid more than they did for controlling public opinion.

Drawing on the experience of his predecessors, Roland abandoned the censorship of the press by government agencies and instead created a "newspaper syndicate" controlled by the "Koras Family Fund" and whose shareholder list included almost all the publishers and distributors in China.

There is no doubt that the "Far East Press and Publication Syndicate" is a private joint-stock commercial organization, and its operation model is fully in line with market rules, and while monopolizing the content channels of newspapers and magazines, it naturally obtains the right to review the submitted works, and the reviewers hired by the association have the right to score the merits of a work, and what kind of articles are recommended to major newspapers and periodicals or what kind of works are within the discretion of the association. Of course, it has greater "authority" than other shareholders.

This is the rule of the game set by Roland for the press and publishing industry in the Far East, whoever feels unhappy can withdraw from the association, if this is jointly blocked by the association and its related news publishers, and loses the channel to publish works, it is also a pure market behavior, not a matter of the government.

"It's business-like and reasonable, isn't it?" Roland asked John Plitt.

"Who's to say it isn't!" A tacit smile appeared on the press director's face.

After the symposium of the day, Roland accompanied the elites of the domestic literary and artistic circles and academic circles to have lunch, and welcomed them well, winning the unanimous favor of the participants. It was from this event that His Royal Highness earned the reputation of "the patron of literature, art and scholarship in the Kingdom of Kolas", not only successfully converting the Far Eastern intelligentsia into his die-hard supporters, but also winning a reputation for openness and tolerance on the international stage.

Literature and art have no borders, and academic exchanges are not restricted by ethnicity. There are quite a few artists and scholars with international influence in the Far East, and after attending the symposium, these authoritative figures passionately compose their praise for His Royal Highness the prince into poems, articles, paintings and other forms of works, and pass them on through letters to friends, classmates, peers, teachers and students living abroad, the latter has some influence in their respective fields of expertise, so that the reputation of the prince of the Far East for being kind to intellectuals, loving literature and scholarship has spread all over the world. Roland himself and the government of Kolas won the praise of the intellectual elite of various countries, so much so that artists and scholars who were persecuted in their own countries and were unable to fully display their talents saw the kingdom of Kolas as a paradise that could change their fate, and they moved to Colasburg in search of a more tolerant creative environment.

Although Krasbourg is still rustic compared to the cosmopolitan city of Yasan, with the arrival of cultural elites from all over the world, Roland believes that it will not be long before the capital of the Kingdom of Colas will become an international city with a strong cultural atmosphere.

The inaugural issue of the Fatherland Daily, scheduled for 1 June, is a major event in the press and publishing industry in the Far East. The publication of the Fatherland Daily first symbolizes that the Kolas government has completely eliminated the remnants of the empire's cultural circles in the Far East and has begun to control the public opinion position for the entire population and even the international community, and at the same time, it will also announce that an epoch-making technological revolution is about to break out in the press and publishing industry.

His Majesty Rudolph attached great importance to the founding of the "Fatherland Daily" and personally attended the reception held by the newspaper on 30 May to celebrate the founding of the journal and delivered a brief extemporaneous speech, pointing out that "running the "Fatherland Daily" well is a political task, thus enabling all the practitioners to feel a solemn sense of mission.

Roland accompanied his father to the reception to celebrate the launch of the magazine, and supported the launch of the Fatherland Daily from two sides. First of all, it is logistically necessary to ensure that the first issue of the "Motherland Daily" is an instant hit, and the printing house is working overtime to catch up with the work, and it is expected that a total of 100,000 copies of the "Motherland Daily" will be published and distributed on the morning of 1 June.
