Chapter 413: A Great Victory, Invincible
I don’t know when, but countless such vans appeared in the second and third tier cities in the eastern part of the empire.
They have large speakers on their heads, and advertisements are painted all over the front, back, left and right sides of their bodies. They drive slowly on the road.
The loudspeakers played various exciting advertisements, such as:
"The food here is top-notch. It's only selling for over 2,000 yuan, over 6,000 yuan. Don't ask me why. The factory director is my cousin..."
"Buy it and you'll make a profit, buy it and you'll make a profit. The Changshan County Grain Exchange is about to close down. A bloody sale! Last three days, last three days..."
Of course, the most classic one is "The bastard boss Huang He/Zhang Chang/Xu You ran away with his sister-in-law..."
These advertisements have a very rhythmic sound with the dynamic music background, which makes people unable to stop listening. Many children or young people run after the cars just to listen to them for a while longer.
Advertisements on the front and back of the bus explained in simple terms where to buy food, where Changshan County was, and how to get there.
A map of the empire centered on Changshan County was also attached, with other areas dimmed and the route to Changshan County marked in red, as well as the vehicles along the way.
At first glance, I thought it was a road map to the heart of the empire.
In order to attract more attention, the Long-term Cooperation Department invested heavily and hired many beautiful models to wear the route map on their bodies, and took photos of them in various seductive poses and printed them on the advertising baseboards.
The people in the Long-term Cooperation Department are not incompetent, it’s just that their mindset has not changed. They didn’t change before because they were not pushed hard enough. Now that Lin Wen is pushing them hard, not to mention changing their mindset, they can even change their personality.
Once the door to the new world was opened, the guys from the Changxie Department were so excited that they couldn't stop. They followed Lin Wen's route and suddenly discovered a vast world where they could do whatever they wanted.
As a result, the bottom line of advertising has been broken again and again, and things like body painting, ball art, and thigh era have all come out.
Internet websites, print media, television, and magazines are all filled with these vulgar and borderline advertisements.
The overall social atmosphere in the empire is relatively conservative, and people still claim to be noble and elegant. Such blatantly vulgar advertisements have never appeared publicly.
As soon as Changshan County took action, the empire's advertising bottom line fell to the bottom.
The effect was also extremely explosive. Overnight, Changshan County, Nadao, and the Grain Exchange became known to everyone.
No matter old people, children, or even women, they all found it fascinating and wanted to imitate the exciting-looking advertisements.
What followed was that everyone in the streets and alleys was talking about whether the Nadao Grain Exchange really had such cheap grain for sale?
But Changshan County had a very bad reputation, and no one was willing to travel through mountains and rivers.
In response to this mentality, the Long-Term Cooperation Department quickly released a second round of advertisements.
The advertisement is a short film that shows the workers hired by Lee Jae-young delivering grain from the warehouse in Changshan County.
The short film is very concise, with every shot carefully selected. It is only thirteen seconds in total, but it conveys all the information that needs to be known in detail and coherence.
Including how to buy, how to withdraw, what the logic is, it is easy to understand and presents the facts in front of you. Not a single second is wasted.
He also made public the basic policies of Changshan County, declaring that as long as the following seven rules were not violated, Changshan County would not be harmed.
This is equivalent to making a covenant to gain trust. The seven rules are simple crimes that everyone can understand, such as killing someone and paying with one's life, and stealing money and being sentenced to death.
Afterwards, he used a fake account to publish the so-called "Changshan County Guide" in major media magazines. In the tone of a small buyer, he said how confused and frightened he was at the beginning, but he had an 80-year-old mother to support and a 30-year-old child to take care of, so he had to grit his teeth and advance into Changshan County.
He then described in detail what kind of vehicle he took, where he ate and slept, how he got to Changshan County, what Changshan County was like inside, and how he bought the first grain deed.
At the same time, he also objectively, rationally and neutrally evaluated the hospitality of the residents in Changshan County, the abundance of beautiful women and their initiative. After he made his first money, many beautiful women were reluctant to accept him, sent him flirtatious glances, and offered themselves to him, but he thought of his wife and children, and reluctantly rejected their kindness, etc.
The person who wrote this was a high-ranking official who was sentenced to 300 years in prison for writing the three most banned books in the empire (The Emperor's Uncle). The Chang Xie Department spent 10 million to get him out of Longzhou Prison.
The master did not disappoint, and wrote a poem that was full of flowers, blooming in clusters, and the petals were alluring.
The text is subtly provocative, elegant but not vulgar, flirty but not cheap, making people feel itchy, their blood boiling, their cock aching, and wishing they could sacrifice themselves for the other person.
Now that the Long-term Contract Department has money, its breathing has become heavier. It has written a hundred marketing articles like this, each with a different tone but the same purpose.
They spread out like an overwhelming force, and even people who had no interest would take a look at the passionate illustrations and the story of the little emperor uncle, which could be regarded as an urban classic.
Now, due to the empire's news reform, major newspapers and media outlets still care about their reputation, but self-media outlets almost all do things for money, and will publish anything as long as they are paid enough.
Moreover, once these advertisements were posted, they sold incredibly well, not only making money but also increasing sales. The self-media were so grinning that their faces were almost crooked, and they couldn't wait to post more of them.
Then, suddenly, as if one night the spring breeze came, thousands of chrysanthemum trees blossomed.
Under this level of advertising bombardment, there are really many people who are willing to take risks and take a gamble.
On the fourth day, Li Zairong discovered that some retail investors had entered the market, but the number was small.
Xiao Xiao immediately realized that the situation had changed, and immediately changed the ten-ton contract into a one-ton contract to facilitate retail investors' purchase, trading and transportation.
At the same time, he will inform Zhao Minggong and ask the internal affairs of Changshan County to fully cooperate with his actions.
Zhao Minggong knew that the matter was of great importance, so he immediately summoned Yang Shaohu, Huang Mingxiao and other backbones of Changshan County's internal affairs, and listed Changshan County's welcoming of foreign tourists and providing convenience for them as the top priority.
Soon, the entire Changshan County's forces were mobilized, and a large number of road signs were erected at various key intersections to guide the direction of travel for those traveling from other places.
The catering, accommodation and other industries have been jointly rectified by various departments, and they have been ordered to strictly prohibit overcharging customers. All services must be clearly priced and no hidden charges are allowed.
At the same time, they received emergency training on their civilized image and announced that an evaluation would be conducted. The county government urgently allocated a portion of funds as subsidies to reward those selected as advanced civilized groups and individuals.
Yang Shaohu gathered a large number of unemployed people and arranged new jobs for them - working as porters in grain warehouses, delivering grain to retail traders who came to deliver grain contracts, for free, and the county government paid for it.
Of course, this only applies to retail investors, and the institutions represented by Li Zairong have to pay.
Xiao Xiao also specially dispatched the Urban Management Brigade to rectify the market, unify the management of cargo at the dock, eliminate illegal ships and unlicensed ships to ensure the safety of grain transportation.
On the fifth day, there was a massive surge in retail investors, and the Nadao Exchange was packed for the first time.
Xiao Xiao directly ordered the traders to prioritize the purchasing needs of retail investors and finally deal with the needs of institutions.
Day 6.
A large number of reporters invited by the Ministry of Long-term Cooperation arrived and reported the grand occasion of the Nadao Exchange in a rational, objective and neutral manner, praising the safety, cleanliness, speed and order of Changshan County.
There are also a series of advantages such as the hospitality of the residents, the clean and comfortable environment, the cheap and good quality of the goods, etc.
Because the same slogan was used so often, for a long time afterwards, any resident of the empire would be shocked when he heard:
"Let me be fair..."
"Let me comment objectively..."
"From a rational and neutral perspective..."
I knew he was bragging behind me.
The Chang Xie Department suddenly came to their senses and, while promoting the grain trade, also promoted Changshan County in an effort to reverse Changshan County's unfavorable image. They discovered that this was actually a two-sided issue, and that the previous promotion of Changshan County had been ineffective simply because of a problem with the method.
County Chief Lin is indeed a natural genius, Cao Yuan and the other four thought at the same time.
Day 7.
It has become a trend to come to Changshan County to buy food, and the Nadao Exchange has become known to everyone.
People from all over the country flocked to the store, and buyers were everywhere on the street.
Transportation businesses such as docks and trains are already in short supply.
The enthusiasm of the lowest class of people has driven small vendors and individual speculators, who are the real main force in the market.
After they arrived, the Nadao Exchange experienced a supply shortage for the first time.
Li Zairong squeezed among a large group of untouchables for a whole day and could not buy a single grain of food.
Originally, almost no one wanted the terminals at the Nadao Grain Exchange, and only five out of the 200 terminals were given away.
But suddenly, buyers flocked to the door, and licensed institutions from all over the country submitted terminal applications to Changshan County and the Nadao Exchange.
Overnight, all the remaining 195 units were given away.
However, Xiao Xiao believed that the operation of the terminal might be controlled by institutions, so he ordered the exchange to give priority to the needs of on-site buyers, then process the instructions from the terminal, and finally process the instructions from the institutions.
Naturally, Li Zairong's purchase order was ranked last and he got nothing.
And the price of grain in the empire finally began to fall.
On the eighth day, the closing price was 6,030 yuan.
Over the past few days, Li Zairong has tried every possible way to stop Changshan County, but with little success.
He wanted to use more advertising funds to overwhelm Changshan County, but Changshan County's advertising was too lethal. The popular slogans, the publicity methods that were close to the needs of the people, the down-to-earth balls and thighs, and the extremely brainwashing background song that had been selected by the Empire Music Radio as the most magical music in the empire.
And so on, just to criticize their old-fashioned, backward and conservative propaganda.
Not only that, countless people have come to Changshan County these days.
Seeing is believing. Although there are no beautiful young ladies who pay for the service, outsiders are not ripped off or cheated, and they can go out as conveniently as if they were at home. It can be said that it is the only one of its kind in the empire.
Word of mouth from the people is the biggest and most reliable advertisement.
The advertisement could not be stopped, so Li Zairong used his usual tactics.
But unfortunately, Changshan County has the power of military governorship and is an independent entity. Even the general affairs of the empire's commerce can only be questioned by County Governor Lin, and cannot directly govern Changshan County.
Li Zairong also used legal weapons, claiming that Changshan County maliciously disrupted market order, engaged in speculation and profiteering, and made huge profits.
As a result, the same problem arose and the court could only question County Mayor Lin but could not forcibly stop the operation of the Nadao Exchange.
It was not until this time that Li Zairong realized the true power of Jiedushi.
This is the indestructible body of the Thirteen Great Guardians, the Golden Bell Cover. Its only weakness is County Governor Lin.
Finally, Li Zairong resorted to the reserved project - traditional violent means to prevent retail investors from going to Changshan County.
He gathered a large number of gangsters and intercepted people heading to Changshan County on various roads.
But unfortunately, the main routes to Changshan County are through two states - Dongqin State and Zhongzhou.
Although Dongqinzhou had severed its relationship with Changshan County on the surface, it was actually still on his side. Sheng Huaixuan immediately announced a large-scale crackdown on gangsters and road bullies.
Zhongzhou is still under martial law, and the army has been dispatched directly to maintain order.
As a result, not only did Li Zairong's gang fail to stop a single person, but they all fell into the hands of the law.
Changshan County was like a fully armed hedgehog. As long as County Chief Lin was still standing on top of it, they had no way to attack it.
"This little bastard!"
Li Zairong was so angry that he was about to go crazy. He forced the Imperial Supreme Court to open a hearing on the case of disrupting market order in Changshan County, and required the defendant to be present, otherwise he would be declared to have forfeited.
Lin Wen originally didn't bother to care, but Qin Luoshuang asked him to go, so Lin Wen went.
He flew from Shizhou to visit the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court mobilized almost all its military and police forces to handle the trial, and the Chief Judge personally presided over the trial.
In the courtroom, Lin Wen immediately exposed the secrets of the grain groups headed by the Qin Group and the Beichen Group, and exposed all their private activities. He angrily criticized the elders of the empire for aiding and abetting the evil and committing crimes against humanity, and they should be executed immediately.
The Chief Judge adjourned the court session on the spot, covered his face and ran away, and the trial ended in vain.
Lin Wen was suddenly ignored and had to return home on a commercial airliner.
As expected, the [Phoenix Without Color] alarm sounded in mid-air, and the plane deviated from its course and crashed into the Empire State Building.
"That's lame."
Lin Wen thought to himself, and punched through the cockpit door, blowing up all the black people inside. Then, in the desperate eyes of the service and crew, he said: "Don't panic, I can fly the plane."
Turning around and sitting in the captain's seat, a beautiful young lady among the passengers rushed up and sat in the co-pilot's seat, and said anxiously: "I'll cooperate with you, I have learned a little bit."
"Oh." Lin Wen responded coldly and pressed countless buttons randomly.
The young lady yelled, "Hey, why are you pushing the throttle?"
"Twist the trim switch at this time?"
"What are you doing with the landing gear?"
"Hey! Why did you turn off the engine? We're going to crash into the building! Aa ...
But the view suddenly rose upwards, and the top of the Empire State Building passed under the plane.
"Shut up." Lin Wen said impatiently: "This is the latest Lin's operation method."
[Object Control Technique] can only control objects within 10 meters. Lin Wen took some effort to pull up the nose of the plane and flew past with the help of inertia.
The engine was shut down and the plane was about to stall, but Lin Wen had already found the keel beam of the plane.
Holding the keel beam, Lin Wen easily placed the plane on an open space in the suburbs, just like a giant putting down his toy.
The plane landed without much vibration.
The young lady was still in shock, as if she were in another world. She asked, "How did this land?"
Lin Wen casually said, "The latest Lin's landing method."
Rescue in danger, good karma +131.
It’s not bad. It’s worth my loss of 41% of my soul.
Lin Wen walked out of the cockpit, punched the cabin door open, jumped down in the stunned eyes of everyone, and flew away with a [Ride on the Clouds].
Of course, they didn't see the last scene. They only saw a young man with the strength of a strongman punch the cabin door open and jump out of the plane.
The young lady rushed out and shouted, "Hey, what's your name?"
Day 9.
The assassination failed and Li Zairong knew it was over.
The Nadao Exchange was packed with people inside and outside, and the crowded crowd broke the glass of the exchange.
The price of grain in the empire finally began to loosen, and the price of grain futures in the Mingguang Exchange, the empire's largest commodity exchange, continued to fall.
Food shorts surged, and despite the desperate attempts of bulls to intercept them, they ultimately failed to save the market.
At the close of the market, the grain price was set at 5,810 yuan/ton.
A plunge of 220 yuan.
In just one day, countless people had their positions liquidated, and countless people broke down crying and even jumped off buildings to commit suicide. Market confidence declined rapidly.
Li Zairong once again reported the battle situation to Elder Luo Nuo.
"...a resounding victory, unstoppable. I've pushed Changshan County to the brink of collapse."
Elder Luo said in a harsh tone, "Li Zairong, I have given you many chances. I have met all your needs. You have said many times that Changshan County is about to collapse."
Li Zairong patted his chest and said, "Your Excellency, this time they're going to collapse! I've calculated that Changshan County has no more than 20 million tons of grain. They're selling 2 million tons every day, and in less than ten days, they'll be out of grain. In just two days, their grain contracts won't be deliverable. If there's a run on the bank, their credibility will quickly collapse. I have a thousand ways to recoup our losses from their corpse."
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."
"Yes, I will live up to Elder Luo's trust."
