Chapter 206: Arms and Politics

The final propaganda is of particular concern, otherwise it will make the matter less heated. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoObviously, Wang Lin's plan also came to naught. Of course, publicity is only the first step, and what really makes Lingbao Pavilion profitable will be the quality of the product.

I have to say that Wang Lin can not put many goods on the shelves, mainly divided into thunderbolts and attached ammunition launchers and other products, the other is Wang Lin's old line of Fu Seal, these days he has accumulated a large number of Fu Seal, just for the first day of opening to become popular.

Generally speaking, there are still too few types of goods, and Wang Lin's goal is to establish a large-scale integrated group business beyond Tianbao Pavilion, but now that Haihua Silk is in its infancy, this thing is naturally relatively small, and Thunderbolt Fire is of course the seal of Lingbao Pavilion, but this thing is destined to be produced in large quantities after solving this problem because of ammunition.

This cannot be used as the main profit-making product of the Chamber of Commerce, and Wang Lin's real means of earning spirit stones are actually those traditional talismans. This stuff is now a buyer's market, and demand exceeds supply. The tiny White Kirishima only produced a large number of sigils every day, and then they were consumed in the battles on the mainland.

Wang Lin was very angry at some of them, but this part of the cake had long been monopolized by some large chambers of commerce, and Wang Lin couldn't help it in a hurry.

However, although the talisman of the Lingbao Pavilion here cannot be directly sold to some big sects, it cannot be said that it cannot be sold, after all, the mainland is now in chaos and has become a pot of porridge, and the talisman seal consumed every day is an astronomical amount. A few large chambers of commerce cannot completely monopolize it.

At least some small sects or the business of some family forces they can't take care of, and besides, this will also cause public anger, and the gains outweigh the losses, of course, the more fundamental reason here is their lack of production capacity. After all, the cultivation of a talisman maker is not easy, and the talisman makers under these big chambers of commerce are not robots, and he has to rest when he should rest. This production is limited.

Naturally, what they can't eat is not easy to occupy, which gives some small and medium-sized chambers of commerce an opportunity, and it is also an opportunity that Wang Lin fancies. And Wang Lin believes that it will definitely open a little, and the money will naturally roll in.

After all, this is like the early days of reform and opening up, and that era is full of gold. As long as this shop is open, there is no reason to lose money, unless the war on the mainland is over. However, this is very unlikely.

After all, there is no sign of an end to the war. This can be seen from the land price of Shirakishima. The current land price is still growing steadily, which can be regarded as giving many people the confidence to continue to invest in White Kirishim.

Regardless of the dire situation on the mainland, at least these merchants hope that the war will continue.

After arranging the precautions for the opening, Wang Lin himself began to prepare for the opening meeting three days later. This is still nothing more than publicity, but this time the form of propaganda is about to change, at least the previous rumor propaganda law is not applicable, this method is only a way to increase popularity in the early stage.

But the rumor is a little sour, although he is also spending a lot of spirit stones to try his best to steer the direction of the rumor. But a lot of things are just not under Wang Lin's control.

These chaotic especially some negative rumors can not be of any benefit to the Lingbao Pavilion, and now I believe that many people are attracted by this rumor, at least they know that there is a chamber of commerce called the Lingbao Pavilion on White Fog Island, which is enough, and it is also the first step to achieve publicity, so of course it is not good, his second step is to refute the rumors.

To correct some crooked rumors, at least the actual image of Lingbao Pavilion must be introduced to everyone, otherwise there will be some unnecessary troubles, if some misunderstandings will lose some potential customers, it will be worth the loss.

After all, the products they deal in are not some daily necessities such as fried rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc., but arms and weapons for the purpose of killing. As the saying goes, the barrel of a gun comes out of power, and arms are naturally linked to politics.

And once you get on the line with dirty politics, it will cause a lot of trouble, and the relationship here is complicated, not just a transaction. In the case of the arms trade in the previous life, the complex relationship is far more than the arms products themselves, but a political game. 、

This is the best example of the United States in the last century, after all, everyone knows that this country made its fortune by reselling arms.

World War II changed many things in the United States forever. One is that the vast American war machine has been constructed as a permanent part of American life, and once the structural ties and symbiotic relationships between this war machine and its economic system are firmly established, there is no possibility of a complete absence.

At the end of the 20s, the United States fell into the Great Depression, and the stimulus programs implemented by Roosevelt's New Deal for 10 years did not really get the United States out of the woods. It was with the huge demand for the military industry in World War II that the American economy truly emerged from the Great Depression and prospered again. This situation naturally fuels the idea and logic of so-called "military Keynesianism", that is, military spending leads to economic expansion (rather than the extraction of economic resources).

The atmosphere of public opinion in the United States has also changed greatly because of the war, and the accusations and fears against arms dealers before the war seem to have disappeared overnight, because the war has enabled the private military industry in the United States and abroad to win the reputation of "the arsenal of democracy" in the United States and abroad, and the role played by its huge production capacity in defeating fascism cannot be denied.

All these trends were further strengthened by the ensuing Cold War. During the 50-year arms race, the private arms industry in the United States entered the longest golden period in history, while the small state-owned arms industry, which had existed since the founding of the country until World War II, disappeared in the privatization movement of the 50s.

This process reflects the economic and technological laws of the modern military machine: the R&D and production of modern military equipment must integrate the resources and capabilities of several industries and industrial fields, and the inherent self-sufficiency and closed characteristics of the enterprises to which the military belong make it impossible to meet the efficiency requirements of them.

This process also reflects the growing discourse power of private industry: it has urged Congress and the government to "privatize" public munitions on the grounds that they are inefficient and inconsistent with the principles of the American "free enterprise system," thus eliminating its already weak competitors.

Thus, for most of the Cold War, military spending, which accounted for about 40 to half of the US government budget, flowed to the private sector, and the complete form of the military-industrial complex was formed and persisted.
