Chapter 716: The Eight Chaebols (I)
If it weren't for Luo Sheng's existence, but Jasmine came to the Summer and Autumn Winery by herself, Aunt Mei would only come out to meet her out of politeness, and then let Jasmine play by herself, and then find someone to escort Jasmine away.
Or, if the person Jasmine brought was not Luo Sheng, but some other guy like Zhang San and Li Si, then Aunt Mei would not take them to the auction.
After all, the guests in the auction are the target group of the entire Summer and Autumn Winery Group, and all Summer and Autumn Winery must effectively protect the interests of these big customers, and cannot let these people have any dissatisfaction.
Although Jasmine is considered a person with status, and is even known as the "Imperial Flower" of the St. Teresan Empire, and is the daughter of Aunt Mei's best friend, she is not qualified to enter the summer and autumn auctions.
And the reason why Aunt Mei is willing to bring Jasmine and Luo Sheng into is completely optimistic about Luo Sheng's future "market".
As the saying goes, if you want to invest, you have to invest early. Obviously, you can see Luo Sheng's future, if you don't take the opportunity to have a good relationship at this time, then once Luo Sheng becomes famous, if you want to have a good relationship with Luo Sheng, you will have to pay a hundred times or even a thousand times more than now.
Aunt Mei, as the head of the summer and autumn winery, naturally can't let go of such an opportunity.
Of course, she is also extremely smart and cautious, obviously all the decisions she made were because she wanted to have a good relationship with Luo Sheng, but she did it without showing any traces, as if she was not because of Luo Sheng, but because of Jasmine.
only let Luo Sheng feel her good, but it is not urgent, this kind of relaxed and appropriate way of treating people is Aunt Mei's experience in many years of business. And she did everything you could to treat Luo Sheng, which is enough to show Luo Sheng's status and weight in her mind.
Luo Sheng's face still maintained his inherent calmness, and he followed behind Aunt Mei and Jasmine unhurriedly.
Judging from the back of these two women, it is completely a pair of sisters. A graceful and charming, a small lotus tip, with buds.
Objectively speaking, Luo Sheng's eyes are more on Aunt Mei's figure.
Of course, this is not because Luo Sheng is thinking differently, but just observing the female head manager who controls the summer and autumn winery in more detail.
Why would she do it? What is the purpose of this? Can you think of her as an ally? Or do you have to be careful that she's a frozen viper that could bite back at any moment?
These questions were hovering rapidly in Luo Sheng's mind. He could clearly feel that Aunt Mei was courting him, and he also understood that the real purpose of this courtship was still to test him.
And he is also slowly getting to know Aunt Mei, the woman, and the Xia Qiu Winery, as well as everything about the Xia Qiu Winery.
"When you get to the auction, I'll take you to a small private room at the end of the auction, where you can watch quietly, and I'll be responsible for presiding over the bidding." While twisting her willow waist, Aunt Mei said to Jasmine: "Remember, the people who came to participate today are all big shots, and there are even many agents of the eight chaebols. ”
Jasmine naturally nodded in fear, and her expression became nervous from excitement.
Walking all the way from the brightly lit central avenue, the warriors standing guard around were all mechas, and their faces were solemn, which made people feel both shocked and reassured.
These mecha warriors standing guard on both sides have a comprehensive combat power of six hundred, to say the least, plus the special knight-level mecha, the security level of the entire winery is even higher than that of the St. Teresa Palace!
Luo Sheng had heard before that the power of the chaebol itself was even higher than that of the king, and now it seems that it is true.
It is no wonder that although the eight chaebols are not sovereign organizations, they firmly control the entire human world.
Knowing this, Luo Sheng also understood why the Sovereign Saint-Deland Empire would be so hesitant to start a war against the Iga Empire and the Valan Empire.
Just like what is said in the "Outline of Machine Warfare", the most fundamental word of war is that it consumes wealth first, then lives, and finally confidence.
Among these three points, wealth is consumed first, and wealth is also used throughout. Without strong economic support, it is very difficult to fight a war.
Once war breaks out, what will be used to supply the desperate warriors at the front? What to replenish ammunition with? What to use to forge a broken battleship mech? With what to maintain the necessary tug-of-war, defensive war?
It's nothing more than one word: money.
Without money, your warriors will be thirsty and starving, without money, your warriors will have to endure heat and cold, without money, your warriors will not be able to rest and recuperate from the gaps in the battle, without money, your warriors will not be able to drink S-class genetic medicine, without money, your warriors can only use their feet to go to the enemy's dense artillery fire, and exchange their lives for your bloody victory, without money, your battleships will not be able to advance, there will be no more tactical support and fire oppression, without money, you will not be able to support the soldiers in the position, If you can't afford to maintain a laser defense system that consumes huge amounts of energy every day, and if you don't have money, you can only change places with one shot, engage in a "guerrilla warfare" in the name of "guerrilla warfare", and leave after the fight, and the result will be to trap the innocent local people.
This is the importance of money, and it is also why after the regime change in the Earth era, people in the era of interstellar colonization do not pay attention to what kind of society they are now, nor do they care about who will be their emperor, nor do they care about whether their country is a parliamentary system or a constitutional monarchy, or a fanatical theocratic system, because the words that come out of the mouth of any politician have no credibility, they only care about whether they can be fed and whether they can be sheltered.
The economy has become the most important weight of this era, and it has even been far higher than politics, just like in the ancient earth era, first religion was above politics, and then politics got rid of the separation of powers of religion, and now, the status of politics has been greatly weakened, and the economy is the most important.
This is also the essential reason why the power of the eight chaebols can be higher than that of a national power like St. Tereland.
It's not that they don't want to fight, but that the eight chaebols don't support it, and without the eight chaebols, there will be no economic backing, and such battles will inevitably fail.
As soon as he came to the summer and autumn winery, Luo Sheng realized this, if he wants to strengthen his power in the future, he will need the backing of the eight chaebols behind him, and the more backing he strives for, the more he will be free on the battlefield.
The question is, will the eight chaebols take a fancy to him as a small commoner's son? What if you can't afford it?
The corners of Luo Sheng's mouth couldn't help but show a sneer: If you can't look at it, then solve it one by one and replace it with a new batch of chaebols!
