Chapter 648: Cause and Effect and Truth (Part II)
At the beginning, the contradiction between Wang Dafu and going with the flow was just a simple battle of will, but when the Eastern Continent Business Alliance came forward to publicly accuse Green Willow City, the nature of this matter changed a little.
In the announcement of the Eastern Continent Business Alliance, the content of the whole incident was blurred to the extreme, and the sentence "the dignity of the grandmaster cannot be provoked" was repeatedly emphasized, so it is not difficult to see that in the concept of the Shang Alliance, in this matter, "Wang Dafu and who is right and who is wrong in these two people" is actually not important to them, and maintaining the "dignity of the grandmaster's identity" is the real focus of the Shang Alliance.
Shang Alliance's concept of "no matter whether the grandmaster's behavior is right or wrong, he must maintain his dignity" is undoubtedly taken for granted in the eyes of the ancients who attached importance to the principles of the Heavenly and Earth Monarchs, but for players from modern times, especially lord players, this idea is very ridiculous, if a person only obtains the status of a grandmaster, he can be beyond all the rules that must be followed, and can even override the rules, then what do we lords do?
To put it bluntly, because of the mixing of the business alliance, this matter gradually turned from a dispute between the two to a conflict between old and new ideas.
But then again, this kind of pure idea dispute will never be the focus of players' concerns, in fact, except for the parties and a few people with intentions, basically no players care about this matter.
Even the parties themselves didn't care much about the so-called "business alliance announcement", at least for Wang Dafu, he didn't pay attention to this ghost thing at all.
On the one hand, this is because Wang Dafu has little contact with the Eastern Continent Council, the Eastern Continent Business Alliance and other institutions after all, and although he has an understanding of their energy, he is not very clear; On the other hand, it is because of the particularity of the "business alliance" itself.
After leaving the Green Willow Chamber of Commerce, Wang Dafu immediately went to the headquarters of the "wanderer" to find the detailed information of the business alliance that the young scholar wanted.
But after reading the information. Wang Dafu immediately reduced his worries about the "business alliance" to the lowest point.
The strength of the business alliance is strong, but the strength of the "business alliance" is not very good!
It is said that the strength of the Shang Alliance is strong, it is because its main members are basically fierce people on the rich side, especially the nine elders among them, all of whom are rich and rival the country's big tycoons, and the sum of such strength can indeed be said to be extremely terrifying!
However, the "Shang Alliance" located in Xuanyuan City is nothing more than an administrative or administrative body under the Eastern Continent Council. Except for some high-ranking clerks, even ordinary high-ranking members rarely appear here, let alone the Nine Elders, except for the necessary duties and meetings, the Nine Elders will not come here at all, which means that this "Business Alliance" cannot represent the mainstream will of the Business Alliance at all, let alone make any decisions on behalf of the Business Alliance.
Their so-called "business alliance announcement" is, to put it bluntly, a group of small officials idle and have nothing to do. In order to go with the flow to this merchant alliance elder, Wang Dafu didn't bother to answer this kind of fuss, to be honest, he even doubted whether Suibo himself knew about the introduction of this "announcement"!
That's why I have that silent middle finger......
As for the attitude of the real bigwigs of the business alliance. Wang Dafu is not worried for the time being, he forcibly expelled a merchant grand master and an elder of the merchant alliance, which will definitely make those merchant bosses feel faceless, and even teach themselves a lesson. This is also the reason why they acquiesced to the introduction of the "Business Alliance Announcement" and the Huanxi Chamber of Commerce and the Qiao family's withdrawal in Greenwillow City.
However, the profit-seeking nature of "businessmen" and their ability to accept new things determine that they are certainly not interested in this kind of conflict caused by "face" and "idea" alone, and as businessmen, they do not necessarily have to show any "deterrence" or "influence"!
Therefore, after the anger in the early stage, as long as Green Willow City can guarantee enough attraction and benefits, they will not really fight with Wang Dafu for this kind of thing, which is not in their interests at all!
For the "merchant", gold itself is already the best "deterrent" or "influence...... Of course, if Greenwillow City didn't have any attraction in their eyes, they wouldn't mind adding a little "popularity" to the business alliance by killing Greenwillow City.
In the final analysis, everything is a matter of "profit". Whether you really have to face the "real anger" of the business alliance, the key is not the attitude of the business alliance, but Wang Dafu's own performance!
With such a clear understanding, Wang Dafu naturally put the problem of the business alliance directly behind him and began to think about the problem at hand......
Ignoring the ups and downs of the outside world, Wang Dafu began to focus on coping with the current situation, and now that he has figured out the real reasons for the continuous decline of the economic index, a series of targeted measures have naturally been introduced.
"Apologize and go with the flow" is the simplest and most effective way to do it. Wang Dafu naturally thought of it and threw it directly into the garbage heap without thinking about it. In the face of the temporary withdrawal of businesses and the withdrawal of investment from the Huanxi Chamber of Commerce, the first way Wang Dafu thought of was to greatly increase government investment. At the same time, through propaganda, the confidence of the inhabitants of the territory was strengthened, and for this reason he even went out himself, giving the first speech in history in the afternoon of the same day in Green Willow City.
Needless to say, the strength of the saliva man in the new era is undoubted, after the end of the speech, the decline in the economic index immediately stopped, and after a large amount of government spare funds were put into the market, it began to rise slowly, not to mention the satisfaction of residents, and soon returned to the original value, and even increased by two points, as a result, when the day ended, everything seemed to be developing in a good direction.
However, Wang Dafu himself also knows that these are only temporary phenomena, and he cannot use government funds for investment for a long time, and if he can't solve the problem of "temporary withdrawal of merchants" within seven days, so that the merchants really officially evacuate, then Greenwillow City will inevitably be greatly injured, so he must make good use of this buffer time. Even if the final loss is unavoidable, at least adequate preparation must be made.
In the next two days, Wang Dafu continued to improve the construction of Green Willow City in an orderly manner, and on the other hand, he arranged for his subordinates to attack from all sides, striving to get in touch with other business bosses, and trying to see if there could be any unexpected gains.
After all, where there are people, there are "rivers and lakes", Wang Dafu never believes that the entire business alliance is monolithic, and there is no contradiction between all the business bosses!
Anyway, all he needs now is a merchant grandmaster. It's not necessarily that you have to be an elder of the Shang League, but it's a pity that after the "Qiaojiabao Incident", the prestige of the Qiao family in Shanxi was seriously hit, resulting in Qiao Zhiyi, Qiao Zhiyong and others Although they are all merchant masters, but before they fail to revive the prestige of the Qiao family, neither of them can meet the requirement of "being recognized by the world" in the "Hundred Schools of Thought", otherwise Wang Dafu would not have to work so hard now.
However, although the problem of continuous decline in economic indicators has been temporarily controlled. But it doesn't mean that Wang Dafu will have a good mood now, in fact, his mood is getting worse and worse, and his anger is getting stronger and stronger day by day.
The consequences of casually provoking the "dignity of the grandmaster" gradually began to show, and the dead fat man suddenly found that it was as if he had estimated this guy with the wave too simply. I seem to have estimated the power of some conventional folk rules a little too simply!
On the second day of the announcement of the "Business Alliance", that is, the third day after Wang Dafu forcibly expelled him and was forced to accept the "business evacuation mission". Several D-level and E-level talents who had not been out of the army but had been living in Biqi Town, the affiliated territory of Green Willow City, appeared in front of him, and took the initiative to announce their departure after accusing him!
Although these people are at most low-level grandmasters of the eighth and ninth levels, and because they have not been released, they have little impact on the territory, but their words have choked Wang Dafu enough, making the dead fat man unhappy for a long time, who knows that similar things will happen one after another in the following period. Although they are all low-level special talents who are unwilling or even dead and fat, and there is no problem with the main senior talents, this is enough to make Wang Dafu feel more and more depressed!
What made Wang Dafu even more angry was that there were still some people who knew him at all, and they were not residents of Greenwillow City, so they came to Greenwillow City to scold him. Pointing fingers and quoting scriptures, the classics are full of anger and scolding. Make the fat man die, hit. Can't be beaten; Rush, can't drive away; I have to eat and drink well and serve all the time, so as not to fall into the reputation of being arrogant and rude and despising talents and not accepting people's words, which is simply depressed and speechless!
It lasted like this for two days, and on the fifth day when he was forced to accept the "business evacuation mission", not only did nearly twenty low-level special people announce their departure, but also a considerable number of people came to scold and threaten the fat man, and at the same time, the work of finding a new merchant grandmaster was not smooth, and all the objects contacted refused the invitation of Green Willow City, on the other hand, the construction of Green Willow City itself also fell into a bottleneck, in addition to the military index, the cultural index and the economic index began to stagnate!
In this case, even Wang Dafu, who was anxious and angry, had a growing temper and his face became more and more blue, so that the elven maids of the City Lord's Mansion began to hide when they saw him, for fear that they would be swept away by the tail of the typhoon if they were not careful!
In the afternoon, I finally sent away a Confucian madman who had been entangled with him for two whole days, and the dead fat man who was almost about to go out and kill people with a knife could finally sit down and take a breath and rest.
This time the earthlings are not ordinary people, let alone those Wang Dafu who can directly ignore cats and dogs, these people are the Martian couple Xiao Xixi, Taitai and the elf girl Yi Jue!
There is no doubt that these three people are Wang Dafu's most important friends among players, and they are also the people who have helped Wang Dafu the most among all players!
So when Wang Dafu heard: "Ah Cheng, I'm sorry, I'm leaving!" When he said this, he froze on the spot, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence from between his teeth: "Going?" Why are you leaving? Is it because of that one who goes with the flow? ”
To be honest, Wang Dafu is really a little disheartened at this moment, he can ignore other people's things, but the Martian couple in front of him can be said to be his closest and most important friends in the game, not to mention the elf girl...... If they don't agree with their behavior and choose to leave, it will definitely be the most serious blow to Wang Dafu!
For a while, Wang Dafu's face was like ashes...... But at this time, the "Fire-breathing Mother Tyrannosaurus" Tai Tai suddenly burst into laughter, and said while laughing: "Haha~~Husband~~ I can't stand it, I really let you say it, this guy really puts on such a dead look!" Oops, oops~~My stomach hurts~~" With Taitai's burst of laughter, the other two couldn't help but laugh, but Wang Dafu was confused and directly dumbfounded!
After laughing for a moment, seeing that Wang Dafu really couldn't stand it and was about to get angry, the elf girl came over and explained embarrassedly: "I'm sorry~~ Ah Cheng, in fact, we didn't make it clear just now, we are leaving, but we just went to the Minghan Empire to participate in the life skills and thaumaturgy competition of the 'No. 1 Contest in the World', not as you think...... Hehe~~ I made a joke with you, don't be angry~~" In the end, the elf girl's face looked very embarrassed, but the unscrupulous Martian couple over there was still laughing happily, while Wang Dafu's forehead was already densely covered with black lines.
In the soft words of the beautiful woman, he took a few deep breaths, and the dead fat man who was ashamed and angry finally couldn't help but grit his teeth and asked:
This idea, in the end, was the one who came up with it without a conscience......
