Chapter 402: News [1]

"Great invention!"

"God has sprinkled the Gospel on the earth by the hand of Stein Ein!"

Early in the morning, all the newspapers reported the story of a young physician named Stein Ein, who discovered that a special extraction method could be used to extract a miraculous substance called "the essence of wine" from spirits. This substance has a strong aroma and, although derived from spirits, cannot be drunk directly. The effect of this "alcohol" is not to satisfy the drunkard's insatiable appetite for spirits, but to be used in medicine.

According to Stein Ain's research report, alcohol can effectively kill bacteria and some viruses on the surface of objects, and has an amazing effect on the cleaning of open wounds. Although the irritant properties of alcohol can make the injured person feel more intense pain, it can save many complications caused by infection.

Even the medical scientists of the Federation are crazy about it, and the Angel, the highest medical journal in the Federation, even offered to award Stan Ein the "Enoch Highest Medical Achievement Award" in recognition of his contributions to medicine and the field of medicine.

Even more crazy are the moonshiners, who have finally found a way to extract high-grade liquor without using a high-value material like dragon's blood, and many believe that spring has arrived for moonshiners.

"But it's not!", Durin sat in his office and looked through the latest issue of the newspaper sent by the imperial capital, almost all of which promoted the deeds of Stan Ein, and even the fact that he had secretly kissed a female classmate when he was a child was reported, and what was even more interesting was that the female classmate actually stood up and said that she did not mind accepting Stan Ein's love.

He put down the newspaper and looked at the woman in front of him, his agent, Sophia.

Sophia wore a long black dress dignified and elegant like a noble woman, and she could no longer find a trace of the breath of the bottom society from her, her smile was as good as the spring breeze when the spring flowers bloomed, which could blow into people's hearts and make people relax unconsciously, "Mr. Durin, do you think this will have any effect on us?"

Sophia sent her youngest daughter to the imperial capital to go to school this time, and the Imperial Royal College of Higher Education announced that it would only accept applications from elite students of the empire, but any school that wants to become a world-class university is inseparable from strong faculty and research facilities, as well as sufficient research funds. Since the Shining Star Noble Academy was renamed the Imperial Royal Academy, the nobles no longer donated money to the Academy, so this academy, which is known as the cradle of the Imperial Star, will also accept some students with "special talents", such as some students with the special talent of "wealth".

The tuition fee of 18,000 yuan a semester is enough to discourage many middle-class and even small rich, plus various other expenses, the cost of entering this school by spending money is about 45,000 to 50,000 yuan a year.

Sophia's youngest daughter actually has a good academic performance, and the poor family has given this family member the motivation to actively seek to change their fate, and learning is one of them. Politicians are always preaching the imperial dream, and public opinion is constantly propagating the slogan that learning makes me rich, and many people regard learning as a ladder of fate, although in the end only about 5% of them succeed.

Although her youngest daughter's academic performance is good, she is still a little short of the highest school in the empire, so she spends a little money to give her daughter the most perfect chance, and hopes that she can become a real social elite because of this.

Sophia's words don't mean that she doesn't want to, everything is given to them by Doolin now, and she is grateful that Doolin reached out and pulled her out of the mire when she needed help. But it's not safe, if one day Durin is killed, or trampled onβ€”it's not impossible, what if that happens?

But one cannot just stare at the pocket, but also look forward, the mountain of gold will be dug up one day, not to mention that she is not too rich.

It just so happened that she came to visit Dulin and made a special trip to inquire whether this matter would have a bad effect on their careers.

Durin threw the newspaper in the garbage, the heat made him a little uncomfortable, he walked to the window, pushed it open and lit a cigarette, and shook his finger confidently, "It won't affect us, it will be better for us." ”

He stretched out a finger and pointed at Sophia, "First, we are actually operating channels, not commodities, and you need to understand the concept and difference between channels and commodities. To put it another way, we run a store with a wide audience and many customers, and the products are only a part of what we sell. ”

"Second ......," he said, taking a puff of his cigarette and shaking his two fingers, "the new method of refining spirits will not only not affect us in any way, but will increase your profits. Because the manufacturing cost has been reduced, then the profit space has been fully released, my suggestion is that you and others can lower the price a little after the goods arrive next month, to attract more customers, and cause market volatility. ”

If technological upgrading makes the cost lower and consumes less, it will completely disrupt the market, then in Doolin's dream, the world is probably doomed long ago. The theory says that it only takes 18 months to replace, isn't it every year and a half that the market will explode?

In fact, there is no such statement, the upgrading of science and technology is actually a reshuffle of the market, the stronger the stronger the weaker the weaker, and finally the weak will be eliminated, only the strong will remain, and the market will gradually solidify.

There are more problems involved, such as R&D capabilities, such as marketing capabilities, of course, these agents under Duhrin don't need these things now, because the guns in their hands are more advanced than any marketing methods and R&D capabilities, but it does not prevent the entire moonshine market from being cleaned through distillation.

Just like the monopoly business that all businessmen want, once the market is reshuffled, it tends to be a pseudo-monopoly and thus reaps huge profits. In Doolin's dream, there is a company that specializes in the field of daily necessities, and when many people are faced with a wide variety of daily necessities on the market, they can actually take a closer look at these dozens of brands of licensing companies and find that they are actually all one.

Reshuffling, annexing, and promoting monopolies are the next steps for Doolin in the moonshine market. Although he knows very well that he can't achieve a complete monopoly in this industry, it doesn't matter, as long as he occupies more than 70% of the market share, there is actually no difference from monopoly.

Here we need to put forward another concept, which is called inertial consumption. Inertial consumption is a terrible thing, which can affect people unconsciously, and even the affected people themselves are not aware of it.

Of course, these more complicated things Sophia and all the agents don't need to know, they just keep selling products.

Sophia breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm relieved to hear you say that, and there's one more thing about you ......", Durin nodded and motioned for her to continue, she smiled and continued: "Everyone is asking if they are going to get together at the end of the year?"

Du Lin was a little moved, but after thinking about it and rejecting the idea, he took a few steps back and forth, and said: "The Imperial Capital set up an Organized Crime Investigation Bureau in the first half of this year, and they seem to be eyeing us, so what we need most now is to keep a low profile. It's not right for something as high-profile as a party right now, and I'll let you know if the time comes!"

This is also what Kevin told him the last time Du Lin went to the imperial capital, as the signs of the empire's economic recovery became more and more obvious, the gang forces in some places also entered the stage of reshuffle, gradually evolving from a number of loosely structured small gangs to powerful criminal groups. The Organized Crime Investigation Bureau was set up to crack down on these gangs, and just as they were preparing to launch a ruthless investigation, Doolin became mayor and evaded this highly targeted investigation.

Under the laws of the Empire, any official in a public position was exempted from partial criminal liability and would only be investigated after leaving office, and before that could only file a case, not investigate, not monitor, and not listen to .......

Thank you for being so just and reasonable in the laws of the Empire!

The first time Sophia heard about this, she was a little nervous, and Durin waved her hand, "Don't be afraid of these people, just do your own thing, as for the fight or something, stop for a while, and wait for the limelight to pass." ”

If Sophia hadn't come today, he would have almost forgotten about it, in fact, even if he did, it wouldn't be a big deal, now that he was the mayor of Otis City, it didn't make any sense to catch him but his agent at all, and he could have reorganized a group of well-organized sub-classes in a very short time.

"By the way, leave my phone number with your daughter, and if something important happens, maybe I can help. ”

Sophia didn't think about it when Durin said this, and she didn't think that Durin wanted to her daughter, and even she would think that it would be a good thing if Durin could take a fancy to her daughter. She then left her daughter's name and phone number with Doolin.

After the two of them had a casual meal together at noon, Durin sent Sophia away, after all, Montel still needed her to be in charge.
