The 'Inverted Star Lake Sword Fighting' competition is over, and the news of Edest's school winning the championship has spread to the four-leaf crystal star field a few days later. Of course, Tilan's pseudonym 'Datlian' was also automatically corrected to Heshea Tilan in the reports in the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Domain.

Not only this inverted star lake sword fight,In several large-scale B-level leagues in April-7 months,Edes School Park has achieved very good results,Part of this is the result of the overall strength of the school,There is also a considerable part of the glory brought by foreign aid exchange students。

For this kind of behavior, the media that support St. Ingo's side naturally spares no effort to smear Edest's way of being 'cunning', 'cunning', 'untrue', 'unrealistic', 'despicable', and so on. And the media that supported Edmus were not far behind, counting the depravity within St. Ingo, and exposing the corrupt forces entrenched in the upper echelons of the Four Leaf Crystals, etc.

In the past, with the powerful influence of St. Ingo, it was enough to silence the media who spoke badly, and the power of the big chaebols was enough to penetrate all aspects, so that the opponent was exhausted, and finally dragged down and defeated.

But this time, because of the fiasco of the Winter Festival and the influence of the new generation of singers, many groups that originally supported St. Ingo began to hesitate and sway, and did not continue to follow up as usual.

Under the advantages of the other, the Edes Academy, which was originally far behind St. Ingo, gradually gained the same influence as it.

Faced with this situation, the board of directors of St. Ingot's Academy is also feeling a pressure rarely seen in a century.

In the large conference room wrapped in flower petals, a group of high-level executives of St. Ingo gathered, including the heads of large corporations, representatives of trade alliances across the star field, and core members of the ancient families from the central star field, and so on.

"We underestimated that girl's influence and underestimated Edus's determination." An old man in a gray trench coat with his hands propped up in front of the table spoke in a deep voice.

"After all, after being a mouse for a long time, it is rare to come out, so I will naturally do my best." A tall, lanky elf woman mocks Edestus Academy's recent excesses.

"There's no need to pay too much attention to it.,Two years pass quickly.,When that girl graduates.,Edes School will be back to its original shape.。

The man in this is a man in a silver coat with a square monocle in front of one eye, and the light green lens has data floating on it, as if he is still working on some experimental data during the meeting.

"The momentum achieved by Edus Academy now,After all, it's only temporary.,Now Governor Temachi has three years to go to the general election.,Among the high-ranking officials and councilors in the star field,We still have a large number of supporters.,The policy won't change.,The rules won't change.,No matter how much Edestus tosses,Can't shake us."

"As for those who are swinging, let them suffer a little, any circle must be divided into hierarchies to distinguish, otherwise the loyal and the betrayed will enjoy the same treatment, then who is willing to keep their promises."

"Since they are vacillating and estranged, let's reduce the favors given to them, and hand over the orders, channels, and projects that have been collected to those companies that are still in our camp."

"Hearts and words will lie, but money and interests will not, as long as we still have key resources and the right to speak, there will be a steady stream of people coming closer."

Under the analysis of this capable man,The people who were originally a little anxious suddenly settled down,Feel that things are indeed the same,St. Ingo's network of contacts and interests that have been operating for hundreds of years,Where is it so easy to shake,No matter how many people support it,It's really time to fight for money and interests,How many will support Edes Academy.。

"Bang-bang-" An abrupt voice sounded, and the tall, lanky elf woman who had spoken earlier clapped her hands.

"As a member of parliament from Belligs, he still sees the problem so thoroughly." She praised the man in white who had just spoken, and then her voice changed.

"However, since Edus Academy has started to provoke, we can't do nothing, which is underestimated."

"If they're pressuring us, we're not going to make them feel better." When she said this, her voice was cold, which made many people present shiver in their hearts.

"From next month, all groups and enterprises involved in Edest, all their merchant ships and goods, will increase the freight by 200%, and contact the customs and import and export audit department to ask them to blacklist the various groups under Edus, all their goods will be strictly inspected, and if there is a problem, they must be checked for problems, and if there is no problem, they will be stuck, so that their things will be stranded for a long time." When she said this, although she was thin, the threat and coldness between her words made everyone present feel shocked.

"If you do this......" After listening to her words, the crowd began to analyze the feasibility of such an action.

"Ms. Sofama, the 'Solar Boat Business Alliance' to which you belong probably controls 36% of the transportation cargo flow of the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Domain's foreign trade, and the rest are the 'Grain Ear Association' that occupies 16% of the transportation cargo flow, the 'Southern October Star', which occupies 12% of the transportation cargo flow, and 26% of the many small commercial and transportation enterprises." A professional consultant stood up and summarized the report.

"If we join forces to raise the trade freight rates of the companies under the Edus Alliance, it will increase the freight rates of their routes by about 45%, and they will definitely find other trading companies to replace them, and after a long time, they are likely to be completely out of our control......

The consultant expertly analyzes the possible consequences of such a trade war.

"I understand your thoughts, you are afraid that after a long time of suppression, not only did you not let Eddes succumb, but it was out of our control, right?" The tall, lanky elf woman tapped her fingers on the tabletop.

"Are you overestimating the other party, do you really think that everyone is firmly around Edus Academy? No, no, no, they are also people, and it can even be said that most of them are also profit-chasing, how many companies do you think can survive this long torment? The short-term soaring freight rate can make the cash flow of most enterprises tight, and excessive freight can also greatly compress the profits of enterprises, making many small and medium-sized enterprises bankrupt. But I don't think they really wait until the day of bankruptcy, as long as we throw an olive branch to these companies and tell them that as long as they come to us and stop gathering on Edest's side, they can lift the restrictions on their businesses, and those wall grass will soon be reversed. ”

The lady of Sofama skillfully analyzed the psychology of these people and told the adviser about the feasibility of her plan.

"Losing the support of a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises, with only those few large groups, they are also unable to support themselves, and the situation is back to the past, or even worse than the past."

"Besides, I'm only talking about trade and transportation, and Old Man Gusta hasn't spoken yet." As she spoke, the elven woman stretched her fingers and turned her gaze to the old man who had been silent for a long time.

"Hey, did you talk about me?" His voice was still low, slightly hoarse.

"The estate below me is very messy, and it is not as decidable as Madame Sofama is. But since it's time, I'll tell them to get ready. ”

This seemingly old man, his identity is not only the councilor of the Four Leaves Crystal Star Domain, but also the leader of the large business alliance in the Star Field, his qualifications are extremely old, and he has invested and promoted many people to help their companies expand their business, go public, reorganize, etc., and their investment companies have shares in many enterprises, all over real estate, medicine, industry, education, hotels, security, many industries, and even I am from the big family of the Central Star Field, with a deep background.

When the old man made a statement, the other directors present also expressed their positions after thinking about it, saying that they would urge their own companies in the near future to suspend cooperation with the forces on the side of Edus, and join the price increase alliance to fight the group forces gathered around the Edus School Park, forcing them to give up supporting the Edus School Park.

The meeting lasted until the evening, and at this board meeting, the core group gathered around the Ingaux Lyceum discussed and decided on the future arrangement.

In their plan, in the next year, they will give the forces of Edders United a comprehensive, drastic, and desperate blow, and under such a heavy blow, the cash flow of the vast majority of small and medium-sized enterprises will not be able to sustain, and they can only be forced to surrender, and even if there are still a few large enterprises supporting Edders Academy, it will be useless at that time, and the situation cannot be changed.

When the plan was decided, the various groups and forces that had gathered around St. Ingo set in motion like steel behemoths, roaring into action.

The will of the upper echelons of the group is passed down layer by layer, the various ongoing projects have begun to be adjusted, many orders have been redistributed, and the supply, cooperation, and co-branding have to be targeted to eliminate the companies related to Edus, and in terms of politics, many councilors who have close contacts with St. Ingo School have begun to put pressure on the Star Council of the Star Field, and the staff of many institutions have also received various calls and notices, although there is no formal document stipulation, but it is also in some of the ongoing work to treat Edmus-related enterprises harshly and strictly.

In just one month, the two major groups, which were originally only a small quarrel, set off a huge whirlpool wave within the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Domain, and many small enterprises had no choice but to join this business war.

For ordinary people at the bottom, they don't know that the upper echelons of Siye Crystal have begun a fierce battle, but they feel that there seem to be a lot of accidents this year, such as a certain daily necessities that have been supplied in the supermarket suddenly changed the brand, or the price of a certain fruit and vegetable suddenly rose sharply, and another infrequently used commodity peculiarly launched a promotional subsidy.

The shopping card that has been co-branded before can no longer be used in many stores as in the past, and can only be applied to a single store, the price of a certain type of industrial materials has risen sharply, but the price of another type that was originally matched with it has plummeted, and all kinds of quite rare scenes have happened everywhere, but ordinary people generally only come into contact with one or two of them, and they will not feel too much, but if someone specifically counts the events that occurred in various industries in the four-leaf crystal star field in the second half of this year, they will know how abrupt and amazing this data is.

Affected by this drastic environmental fluctuations, many small businesses are difficult to adapt and begin to be on the verge of bankruptcy, and in the midst of mutual fighting, the problems that were originally suppressed and covered up in the star field have gradually been exposed.

The balance has been upset, with protests and unrest beginning in bustling megacities, and serious violence in remote areas that are already on the red line.

And so, until a gunshot rang out—
