"Of course it matters," Fang Yan smiled, "For us, big data is money, and for the empire, it may be a sword. ”

"Sword?" Zuo Cheng and Old Man Bai spoke at the same time.

"Yes, a sword," Fang Yan nodded, "this sword could be used by the Empire to stab people, or it could be used by the Empire to be stabbed." ”

Fang Yan raised a finger, "Let's still take an example, for example, we deduce through big data that the price of materials of a certain attribute is growing steadily in the next period of time, if this data accidentally falls into the hands of a hostile country, and the hostile forces hoard materials and then dump them all at the highest price, what will be the consequence?" ”

"For example," Fang Yan gave another example, "a certain high-ranking member is also very noble in real life...... For example, the prince, our database found that he had used his membership card in several towns in the north, and through the trajectory, we deduced the city he was likely to go to next, if it was known by the hostile forces, what would be the consequences? ”

Seeing that Old Man Bai's face gradually became solemn, Fang Yan continued, "Similarly, through big data, the empire can grasp the situation of the mage cultivators in the empire at any time, and can even use fake intelligence to catch some big fish. ”

After saying the dialect, he spread his hands, "Although it is a time of peace, but the heart of harming people is indispensable, and the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, do you say that the empire will ignore this thing?" ”

Although there is no supercomputer in the Yunyao Continent, the computing power of some high-level cultivators is not inferior to that of a supercomputer, and the population base of the empire is so large, there are always people who are willing to 'dedicate themselves' to lure heavy profits.

Big databases, whether on the earth or in another world, can be said to be a strategic-level resource, and they must operate within the scope of the state's permission.

Like Daddy Ma on the earth, after eating a big bite of meat, he still didn't obediently cooperate with the central bank, and the valuation of Ant Financial's IPO was as high as 100 billion yuan before it was listed, and the price was to hand over all the reserves.

Midty's Wal-Mart was even more miserable, when Xiao Hei was in power, Wal-Mart refused to cooperate because it was a family business, Sequoia Capital and KPCB ruthlessly manipulated a wave of financial leverage in order to get Wal-Mart's database permissions, and Wal-Mart lost more than $11 billion in a year, while obediently handing over database permissions.

What did Sequoia Capital and KPCB do after they got the database permissions? Transferred shareholder status of Walmart database to the Federal Reserve for one dollar.

It's a ridiculous joke.

Autonomy and regulation are two different things, and cooperating with the Empire does not mean surrendering autonomy, but rather that this kind of thing, which can be called a 'national weapon', must operate within the limits of the Empire's permission.

Unless the dialect is willing to become a puppet of the empire and make money for the empire endlessly, it is inevitable to negotiate this kind of thing with the empire.

However, with the support of the Imperial Mage Association and the Three Academies, you want to join the empire, of course it's no problem, but you have to mean it, right? It's not too much to trade something good, right?

The current dialect is not just a peach plucked.

After listening to the dialect's words, Old Man Bai and Zuo Cheng's faces were already very solemn, they never thought that they could analyze a lot of important information from some daily behaviors.

"This kind of thing really can't be done alone without the empire, otherwise it will be ill-intentioned," Old Man Bai looked at Fang Yan, "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, I'll contact the empire now, and the contract will be resigned in a few days, let's settle the matter first, and sign it together when the time comes." ”

"I'm okay with that." Fang Yan nodded, anyway, the newspaper has already made up its own affairs, so it is just now that we can bring it up together, and it will save you trouble.

They were now at the headquarters of the Mage Association, and the major forces in the imperial capital had set up special passages in the Mage Association, and representatives of several forces soon arrived at the meeting site.

There are still three vice presidents from the Third Academy, this is the negotiator who has been determined by the Third Academy, and two from the imperial side, one is Lieutenant General Li Jian, who has met in the dialect at the beginning, and the other is a middle-aged man in his thirties.

Fang Yan first greeted Vice President Lin and the three vice presidents,

"I didn't expect to meet again in the afternoon just after we parted in the morning." Lin Haoran smiled and pointed his finger at the dialect.

Fang Yan smiled, turned his head and nodded to Lieutenant General Li Jian, and then Old Man Bai naturally introduced the middle-aged man who Fang Yan didn't know, "This is one of the seven members of the Imperial Cabinet, the youngest Pavilion Elder Chen Xi in the Empire." ”

"Just call me Chen Zichuan," the middle-aged man smiled, quite elegant and friendly, and then he looked at Fang Yan, "This little friend is Fang Yan, right?" I've been hearing your name every day lately. ”

Fang Yan was a little stunned, it was actually the elder of the Imperial Pavilion who came in person?

The Imperial Pavilion Elder is not a cabbage, the entire Xiyun Empire has a vast territory, and only seven people among the sea-sand-like people can be called 'Pavilion Elders', which is the real one person below ten thousand people, not to mention that this Pavilion Elder is the youngest among them.

Zuo Chengshi also walked over, "Zichuan, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Chen Zichuan hurriedly saluted Zuo Cheng, "I haven't seen Zuo's predecessors for nearly a hundred years, and they are still immortal, which really makes me and other juniors admire." ”

"Hehe," Zuo Cheng smiled proudly, "It's been nearly a hundred years in a blink of an eye, and I want to sprinkle ....... when you played with mud."

"Stop, stop!" Chen Zichuan's face turned a little red, and he hurriedly interrupted Zuo Cheng's words, "The business is important, the business is important, and I will talk to you after talking about the old days." ”

Sure enough, where the elders are big killers, Fang Yan sighed a little, but was stirred up by Zuo Chengyi, and most of the original serious atmosphere disappeared.

The adults were talking, Lin Youyou was naturally inconvenient to be there, and after the old man Bai said a few words to her, the little girl ran out with two plates of candied fruit.

Everyone sat down in turn, Chen Zichuan nodded to Li Jian, Li Jian quickly took out a photo crystal to activate, and several people present did not object, they knew that this was a routine matter.

The conversation was still started by Old Man Bai, "I won't introduce the dialect much, whether it is the Three Academies or the Mage Association, or the empire after a few cooperations, it has benefited a lot, please come over today, it is the dialect and I have some new ideas I want to talk to you." ”

Fang Yan got up and nodded at everyone, "There are two main ideas today, all parties are involved, let me start with the first idea, this idea...... I call it a newspaper. ”

"Newspapers?" The first to speak was Vice Dean Huang, who was not very calm on weekdays, "What's that?" ”

The inspiration for newspapers or written public opinion came to Fang Yan's mind when he talked to Vice President Lin in the morning, and even Vice President Lin didn't know very well, let alone Vice President Huang.

"For example," the dialect held up a finger, "everyone knows this order, right?" ”
