Jiang Dingzhen agreed with Mr. Mi Youde’s inference.
But he knew that most people would not agree with this forward-looking inference beforehand.
Only after something happens, will they be amazed at the accuracy of Mr. Mi Youde's predictions and how capable he is.
He came to the Fuguo Go Club and heard that the content discussed there was very similar to what he judged.
He heard everyone talking about this matter.
Ordinary people also need to go to restaurants and teahouses to listen to radio programs. Businessmen like them have radios in every house.
Mr. Mi Youde is also a well-known figure in Chu State, and what he said is also extremely exciting.
It is completely predictable to cause a sensation in a short period of time.
Jiang Dingzhen did not interfere with those who discussed matters, whether they supported or opposed Mi Youde's views.
Businessmen who accurately judge future trends will definitely make money.
Businessmen who make mistakes in judgment will surely lose a lot of money.
It's just a loss of some extraneous wealth, and that's still a good thing.
When he walked to a private room, he heard an annoying voice. It was the voice of the Jiang family's old enemy, Zhou Yikai, the third son of the Zhou family.
The Zhou family is in the cement business. When producing cement, part of the cement formula will be mixed with some waste slag.
The cement supplied by the Zhou family to the military was not up to standard, and they actually blamed the problem on the Jiang family's waste slag.
This approach of the Zhou family directly caused the two families with a normal relationship to become enemies.
When Jiang Dingzhen heard Zhou Yikai's voice, he felt uncomfortable.
He listened carefully and immediately became angry.
Zhou Yikai did not discuss the matter directly, he directly attacked Mr. Mi Youde.
Jiang Dingzhen was afraid that he would suffer a loss, so he first called some staff to suppress the battle.
He was by the door, listening to the sound that even the soundproof walls couldn't block.
"Who is Mi Youde? He is a spy sent by the Yue Kingdom.
There are many ways to use time, and Mi Youde's is obviously a dead time.
He can never go back to Yue State again, but as long as he uses his abilities, he can benefit Yue State.
The current economy is flourishing and thriving.
It is because of the hard work of our major businessmen in Chu that we have achieved this result.
It is simply impossible for Mi Youde to destroy the achievements of so many businessmen with just his sharp tongue.
We are all businessmen's children. Whether the current business environment is good or not, Bimi Youde knows much better.
We must use our own methods to expose Mi Youde's ugly face so that he can no longer continue to do evil."
Zhou Yikai knew that the Jiang family had a stake in Fuguo Go Club, and he also knew about the relationship between the Jiang family and Mr. Mi Youde.
On this occasion, he made remarks that slandered Mr. Mi Youde, which was a provocation to the Jiang family.
During this time, the Jiang family sold non-core properties in order to cope with the coming cold winter.
In the eyes of some people, this is a signal of the decline of the Jiang family, and they use this method to test the Jiang family.
Zhou Yikai may not have this brain, he is just an executor.
What he did was definitely ordered by the old fox of the Zhou family.
Whether it was to protect Mr. Mi Youde's reputation or to prove to the outside world that there was no problem with the Jiang family.
Jiang Dingzhen had to strike hard to show Jiang Jia's attitude.
He saw that the staff of the Fuguo Go Club had arrived and immediately kicked open the door.
"Zhou Yikai, why should we involve others in the grudges between our Jiang and Zhou families?
Mr. Mi Youde's achievements are obvious to all, and no little beast like you can question them."
Zhou Yikai said unruly: "If you dare to call me a little beast, then you are an old beast.
You are a running dog of a Vietnamese spy.
It’s only because you are such unreasonable old beasts in the country that a Yue dog is allowed to bark like crazy.”
When Jiang Dingzhen heard this, he was so angry that he trembled all over and immediately shouted: "Little beast, I want to teach you today that there are certain words that you must not say out loud."
He immediately ordered the staff of the Phu Quoc Go Club: "Hit me, hit me hard.
Today I am happy, I fought well and everyone has a reward.
Someone was caught by the government and rewarded five hundred taels of silver coins."
Jiang Dingzhen's influence in other places is not strong enough to help Mr. Mi Youde clear his name.
But in Fuguo Go Club, he is one of the bosses and has the willpower.
If he can't help Mr. Mi Youde clear his name even in his own one-third of an acre, then he will appear to be too much of a waste.
Zhou Yikai provokes the Jiang family, but he will never be allowed to leave safely.
These businessmen look very friendly on the surface.
In fact, they are all guys who eat people without spitting out their bones.
Once any family shows signs of weakness, they will inevitably attack in groups and divide their assets.
Zhou Yikai howled after being beaten, and his unruly demeanor had disappeared.
Jiang Dingzhen begged for mercy when he saw Zhou Yikai being beaten. As a law-abiding businessman, he couldn't really beat someone half to death.
He waved his hand and asked the staff of Fuguo Go Club to let Zhou Yi drive away.
Zhou Yi left the Phu Quoc Go Club with a bruised nose and a swollen face.
He walked to the gate and cursed loudly: "Old Jiang, just wait for me, this matter is not over yet."
Of course Jiang Dingzhen knew that this matter was not over yet.
Whether it is the turmoil caused by Mr. Mi Youde or the temptations from the Zhou family and other families, there are still many problems to be solved.
The Jiang family must help Mr. Mi Youde.
Jiang Dingzhen not only wanted to repay Mr. Mi Youde's kindness.
The Jiang family has a close relationship with Mr. Mi Youde, and everyone in the circle knows it.
It is public news that Mr. Mi Youde gave lectures at Fuguo Go Club in his early days.
Once Mr. Mi Youde was really slandered as a spy, Fuguo Go Club became the base of the spy.
None of the people behind them can escape.
To save Mr. Milton's reputation is to save themselves.
As Jiang Dingzhen expected, the news that he had ordered people to beat Zhou Yikai quickly reached the ears of his partners, and they all came to Fuguo Go Club one after another.
"Old Jiang, don't be too impulsive when doing things.
These are troubled times, and members of Parliament have repeatedly proposed increasing tax rates.
There are some crazy congressmen who actually proposed a tax of more than 50%.
The government before the empire didn't care what the merchants thought. If they wanted to confiscate their homes, they would confiscate them, and if they said they wanted to exterminate their clans, they would exterminate them.
Since the empire promoted industrialization, the status of merchants has gradually increased, and the noble position of parliamentarians has been returned.
Governments in various countries cannot arbitrarily confiscate the homes of businessmen and exterminate their families.
But we businessmen need to pay extremely high business taxes.
Those powerful people are still not satisfied and want to change their ways and take money from us businessmen.
These are troubled times, and our business family in Changping cannot let a trivial matter ruin our harmony."
His business partners came forward to persuade him one after another.
When Jiang Dingzhen heard these words from the peacemaker, he was not surprised at all.
What these people are best at is being generous to others.
Jiang Dingzhen's attitude was firm and she would not give in at all.
Seeing that the matter was at an impasse, he immediately expressed his inference about Mr. Mildew.
"We must now help Mr. Mildew prove it.
Once Mr. Mi Youde's reputation is discredited, the matter will most likely involve us.
Mr. Mi Youde's theory is very correct. As big businessmen, we should have deep feelings about it.
For example, there is a lot of fuss in Congress about tax increase time.
As some people have said, the economic crisis has completely emerged and the economy is now in a period of prosperity.
During the economic boom, why would the court consider raising taxes?
The most important thing the court should do at this time is to support the development of industry.
As long as the cake is made bigger, the benefits that any party can obtain will become greater.
Now the imperial court has chosen to raise taxes to catch fish in the wetland because the current prosperity is deceptive and false prosperity.
It is entirely based on the arms race between various countries, and this foundation is not solid at all.
The arms race cannot continue indefinitely.
This economy, which has prospered because of the arms race, will not last."
"Lao Jiang, after listening to your explanation, there is no problem with Mr. Mi Youde's argument.
We usually feel that the source of orders is more or less related to the Metropolitan Government.
The most profitable industries are also those closely related to the military.
What you said can indeed solve many of the problems we had previously wondered about."
"I have said before that Mi Youde is a big trouble.
Now this trouble has come to our door, and we still have to deal with it."
Jiang Dingzhen said dissatisfied: "Now is not the time to complain, Mr. Mi Youde has attracted many powerful people.
You have also gained many benefits from Mr. Milton.
I am willing to enjoy the benefits, but not willing to bear the costs.
How can such a good thing in the world be obtained by us?
We are now grasshoppers on a rope, we may not be able to achieve both prosperity and prosperity, but we will definitely lose everything."
As soon as Jiang Dingzhen's attitude became tough, the attitudes of these businessmen immediately softened.
In the end, they all agreed to support Mr. Mi Youde.
When Jiang Dingzhen saw these old friends, she was either helpless or unwilling to be persuaded.
He believes that in the near future, these people will be grateful for the choices they have made now.
As businessmen, there isn't much they can do.
Mainly by taking advantage of their wealth, they continuously publicized the correctness of Mr. Milton's theory in major newspapers and radio stations.
Jiang Dingzhen believed that as long as Mr. Mi Youde had not been muzzled, his theory would have been completely shelved.
This theory, which is dynamic and easily verifiable, will have a very tenacious vitality.
As long as he can make his voice heard, he is not afraid of general suppression.
Jiang Dingzhen and others reached a consensus, and they immediately started taking action.
…
Councilor Zhang Zihua looked a little tired. He had just finished arguing in the parliament.
The Chu State Council was still harmonious before, but as the situation in Europe became increasingly tense.
The Chu State Council also turned into a vegetable market.
As long as he doesn't hit anyone, he doesn't care what the congressman is doing?
It is not uncommon for people to yell at each other in the parliament because of conflicts over issues.
Zhang Zihua knew that each of them, the congressmen, represented different interest groups.
If members of Congress are yelling at each other, it means that the competition for interests among these interest groups has become fierce.
For example, during this period, the most controversial issue in the parliament was the increase in tax rates.
The main type of tax increase is the tax on industry and commerce. There is no tax increase on ordinary people.
The lessons of past dynasties are too profound. You can't get much money from the people, but if you really force them to rebel, you need to pay an extremely heavy price.
Increased taxes on industry and commerce will definitely be strongly opposed by those who represent the businessmen.
After all, paying more taxes means, in the eyes of these businessmen, that they are taking money out of their own pockets.
But it's just that the businessmen are unwilling, so it's only a matter of time before the tax bill is voted on.
Zhang Zihua saw various bills in the parliament, all of which involved large-scale expenditures.
This is still a bill for public discussion, and there are some highly confidential bills. The expenditure involved must be astronomical.
Zhang Zihua often thinks about a question: so much money needs to be consumed, where does the money come from.
The ideas of all the forces in Chu State have almost been unified. One of the reasons is to increase taxes on industry and commerce.
When the imperial court cultivates industry and commerce, it is like an old farmer raising cattle.
Oxen are usually diligent and can even help the old ox plow the land.
But when there is a famine, in order to survive, cattle must be slaughtered and eaten.
When Zhang Zihua returned home, he turned on the radio and listened to the radio station that had become popular all over the country when it first appeared.
There are not many radio stations in Chu State, there are only a few radio stations.
But he found that any radio station was discussing one thing.
Zhang Zihua originally thought that except for the arms race between various countries, nothing could reach this level.
His interest was immediately piqued and he listened carefully to the relevant programs.
Zhang Zihua has some impressions of the controversial Mi Youde.
He listened to Mi Youde's remarks, a little casually at first, and then his expression became more serious.
When he heard no sonorous and powerful words, the current prosperity was false prosperity.
Zhang Zihua felt that the fog in front of his eyes immediately dissipated.
Things that he didn't quite understand before now have clear ideas.
He previously believed that the prosperity brought by arms race to various countries, although short-lived, would do more good than harm to all countries.
Now combined with Mi Youde's theory, it is a last resort for countries to choose this path.
What it brings is by no means prosperity, it is like an ever-expanding balloon that will explode after reaching a critical point.
Whichever country has a weak foundation will be the first to have problems.
Zhang Zihua smiled helplessly. He felt that he had been doing completely useless work during this period of time.
Are you in parliament to block issues that may affect business development?
With the current situation in Europe, is there any room for business development?
This prosperous stage of development will soon be unsustainable.
The economies of various countries will shift to wartime economies.
The imperial court will control everything just to win the crucial war.
Zhang Zihua listened to the discussion on the radio and thought he should adjust the way he did things.
Peaceful times and wartimes are two completely different worlds, and he must adapt as soon as possible.
…
Jiang Dingzhen could not imagine that businessmen like them spent large sums of money on newspapers and radio stations to promote Mr. Mi Youde's knowledge.
Their approach greatly accelerated the spread of geographical theory.
Let more people understand the theory of geographical theory.
It is all an illusion for the people of all countries to have access to the current economic prosperity.
Most people do not agree with this statement.
But as long as a small number of people start to learn the knowledge of geographical theory.
This will definitely affect the development of the situation in various countries.
