Chapter 207: Opening (1)
Boeing, Rockwell, General Motors, International Business Machines (IBM) and other large companies on the one hand, and the Department of Defense and the U.S. military under its jurisdiction on the other, which control huge military spending, form the basic relationship of the military-industrial complex on the basis of the "buyer-seller" contractual relationship.

After the war, important industries in the United States, such as aviation, aerospace, energy, electronics, information technology, and bioengineering, were closely related to defense contracts. In the case of IBM, half of its revenue in the 1950s came from the defense sector.
In the strengthened relationship between the government and the military and industry, there are complex public relations activities and informal interpersonal networks, in addition to overt contracts. Companies are deliberately engaged in so-called "market intelligence" campaigns against the Pentagon, gaining information and contacts about arms acquisition programs through contacts with Defense Department officials.
A 1959 House of Representatives investigation found that the military-industrial complex did consciously employ the "persuasion tactic of feasting." Because of the special weight of Congress in arms appropriations, the business community also often uses a strategy of lobbying a member of Congress in a key position before submitting a new weapons program to the Pentagon in order to gain an early advantage over its weapons program. Since the end of the 50s, there has been a situation that has received special attention for a time that exists as a "revolving door" between the army and enterprises.
In 1969, a special committee of the Senate found that the 100 largest enterprises involved in military contracts employed more than 2,000 retired officers of the colonel and rank. These veterans have easy access to the military and the Pentagon, and the influence they can have on the military procurement program can be imagined.
Movement from the corporate world to government agencies is not uncommon, with General Motors General Manager Wilson and Ford Motor Company General Manager McNamara becoming Secretary of Defense under Eisenhower and Kennedy, respectively, as two prominent examples.
In fact, the military-industrial complex can hardly be regarded as an interest group in the usual sense, but rather as a comprehensive network of relations composed of multiple elements. In addition to the relationship between business and the government and the military, it also contains or involves a number of other elements and phenomena.
In Washington, in addition to the Pentagon, Capitol Hill activities are also implicated: at least members of Congress who have ties to the military-industrial interests and lobby groups that represent the military-industrial complex. States (e.g., California), cities, and communities whose economies are highly dependent on the defense industry, as well as unionized organizations in defense-related industries and businesses, tend to perform highly in line with the interests of the defense industry.
The United States officially made its fortune on such a powerful arms business, and NATO, the world's largest international organization at that time, was formed on this basis.
Generally speaking, the Chaohe River is divided into two large groups, east and west, and they have a large number of small organizations under their hands, and the relationship between them is complicated, and there are many internal contradictions and feuds under the opposition of the two large groups, after all, it is normal for there to be friction between neighboring forces. 、
Even the phenomenon of feud between two neighbors is commonplace. If one party discovers that his sworn enemy has suddenly purchased a large number of sigils, then he will think so, and this is a matter worth scrutinizing.
Fortunately, Wang Lin himself does not represent any position, otherwise his business will not be good, but others don't know, coupled with the crooked rumors, there may be many people who guess which side of the Lingbao Pavilion belongs to. If you want to let everyone let go of your concerns, you have to give a clear signal to everyone on White Kirist Island, which is also one of the main purposes of Wang Lin's propaganda.
Three days have passed in a flash, and today is also the time for the opening of Lingbao Pavilion. This day is also the time of attention, after so many days of publicity, everyone also knows the news that Lingbao Pavilion will open today.
Today was an eye-opener for all the mortals and cultivators on White Misty Island.
They never thought that the opening ceremony could be so interesting and so interesting.
On this day, almost all the mortals and cultivators on White Kirist Island knew that there was a shop selling talismans on the East Street of the Bazaar called Lingbao Pavilion!
Lingbao!
It's a spirit stone and a treasure!
This is Wang Lin's explanation of why he chose this name!
In fact, what Wang Lin really wanted was to warn himself all the time in the name of Lingbao and the great responsibility of earning Lingshi!
Of course, this can also be seen that he is still very greedy for money in his heart.
No, it's not just greedy for money, it's just falling into money!
Yu Nian commented on his family's young master, the new boss. In his eyes, he, the new owner, no matter what he does, is so unique and stands out from the crowd!
What does this mean?
The new owner's approach to doing things is surprising and unheard of!
Also, his new owner really fell into the money!
It's just that he doesn't understand Wang Lin's own hardships, and he doesn't know what the spirit stone means to him. Greed for money is not a good reputation, but Wang Lin does not want to change, besides, a person who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, a businessman who is not greedy for money is not a good businessman, businessmen pursue profits, this is their inexhaustible motivation, but also a great play of human subjectivity.
People say that there is no business and no traitor, which is also a portrayal of businessmen. In short, I don't care much about the name of a greedy person.
"How else can the ritual be done like this?"
In Yu Nian's heart, the opening ceremony is nothing more than inviting many old-timers in the talisman industry to come up and give a face. Take care of this newborn talisman shop a few times.
For example, suppliers and processors of talisman materials can sell materials at a cheaper price. Mix with the shopkeepers of other talisman shops, let them not make things difficult for themselves.
Wait, it's just that the old-timers in this industry are familiar with their faces and show their faces.
In the future, what to do is still to be done!
However, Wang Lin's approach, Wang Lin's opening ceremony is really the only one in White Kirishim!
Not to mention, the banners hanging all over the street pavilions read: "Warmly celebrate the opening of Lingbao Pavilion!"
Throughout Shirakirishima, you can see this kind of banner almost everywhere.
Coupled with Wang Lin's previous unsparing publicity, it is difficult for people to think about this Lingbao Pavilion!
What's more, Wang Lin actually put down a large amount of spirit stones and invited a team of hundreds of people who can sing and dance. Trumpeters, dancers, acters......
A big banner stood at the head of the team and followed the whole team through the streets!
