Chapter 187: Black Merchant Du Dian

"This is good." Du Dian said while taking the newspaper: "Remember to keep an eye on the factory, and don't let them inquire about the new textile machine inside. The longer you hide it, the more we turn."

"I will." Fulin nodded. After seeing the new textile machine, he had already transferred all the attendants of the castle to patrol outside the factory. Even the knights guarding the gate of the castle had changed from four to two shifts. people all day.

Du Di'an opened the newspaper and immediately saw the headline on it - the Mellon consortium invested heavily in the construction of the Gold Antiques Chamber of Commerce. Is the exchange ratio of gold coins and silver coins expected to increase in the future?

Below this news is the second news: the Sterling consortium has fallen into undervaluation, capital turnover problems, or the collapse of the industrial chain.

Du Di'an slowly flipped through the pages from top to bottom, and suddenly asked, "Which news agency does this newspaper belong to?"

"A news agency run by the Mellon consortium." Fulin guessed Du Dian's idea and said: "This news agency has a very high sales volume of newspapers, and it is one of the many industries under the Mellon consortium. The Huasheng Foundation and the news agency of the Military Department.”

Du Di'an nodded. No wonder most of the news above is related to the Mellon consortium. Although not many are mentioned on the surface, the hidden sources of interests tend to be the Mellon consortium, including the reported Scott consortium and other consortia. , they all adopt the method of news suppression. The advantage of doing this is that the wealthy businessmen who are planning to join the Scott Consortium and other consortiums can take into account.

Although the consortium is mainly composed of nobles, many wealthy businessmen in the business district are also the mainstay.

"The 'Xinshi Consortium' has no nobles and wealthy businessmen to join. How long can it last with the support of the Lane family alone?" Du Di'an glanced at a piece of news at the bottom of the newspaper. The title alone gave the general meaning, and the content was some from the economy. The professional analysis above pointed out the shortcomings and weaknesses of the Lane family, as well as the fatalities that are difficult to develop.

Du Dian glanced at it roughly, and what was said above was straightforward, not to mention other people, even him, he had to nod in agreement.

"It seems that in the eyes of the Mellon Consortium, their real enemy is the Scott Consortium and other consortiums. We are just a small role, just pay attention to clean up, and even the newspapers don't give us much page, unless it is to pay attention to Our nobles or wealthy businessmen, otherwise most people simply ignore this place, which is also to prevent propaganda for our consortium." Du Di'an put down the newspaper and said lightly.

Fulin sighed: "That's right, if the target is too obvious, if we report our consortium on the headlines, even if it is a negative report, it will give us a reputation. The essence of building momentum." Speaking of this, I couldn't help but glance at Du Di'an and realize this, it can be seen that this young man's mind is also extremely keen,

It is hard to imagine just a child growing up in an ordinary civilian family.

Du Di'an said: "Does the Scott consortium have a deep holiday with the Mellon consortium?"

"They are old enemies." Flynn said: "The Scott Consortium started out with mining. Today, the mining chain spreads across three regions and hundreds of small towns. The Mellon Consortium also wanted to come over and get a share of the pie a few years ago. Conflict arises."

Du Di'an nodded slightly, and it was normal to see Lee's eyes red.

"Is that batch of alchemy goods for sale today?" Du Dian asked.

Seeing him ask this, Fulin had a smile on his face and said, "Speaking of which, I've seen that thing before, it's really practical, and the potential market is huge, it should completely replace the fire sickle and become a must-have for every household, you make it. One thousand boxes have been sold today, and more than 200 boxes have been sold, and they have been completely spread in the town. It is estimated that after a few days of fermentation, it will spread to other nearby towns, and the supply will be in short supply."

"Well." Du Dian nodded slightly, "The trouble will come when the time comes, the alchemists of other consortia will buy it back and analyze it. You will use all the funds in your hand to prepare the materials, but unfortunately we don't have enough money, otherwise we will All the production materials in the market are bought out. When other consortiums make them, our reputation has already started. The sense of security people seek subconsciously will also become a habit of buying things. It won't take much business."

"Yeah, it's a pity." Fulin also regretted, and even felt heartache. Although the price of this thing was cheap, it couldn't bear the high sales volume. If every household used it, what a huge number would it be, and it was a consumable item. , I will buy it again when it is used up. The value of the industry is almost comparable to the large industries mainly operated by other consortia. It's a pity that they have small mouths and can't eat this big cake. They can only eat as soon as possible when this big cake is not robbed by others.

"Our snowball is going to roll, and the funds recovered in our hands will be put into it again." Du Di'an saw the heartache on his face, but he didn't have too many waves in his heart. This was something that was expected early in the morning. Difficulty, fall is very simple, he temporarily does not have a huge market for capital to monopolize matches, but his original goal, there is no plan to monopolize it, that is too much.

However, he will not be cheap to others in vain. Even if he loses the apples he can't eat, no one can pick them up and eat them.

"Go back and contact the Scott Consortium and tell them about our alchemy products. The name of this thing is 'match'. We'd better find the consortium in advance when other consortia know the value of the match and talk to them. Cooperation, they take the big head, we take the small head, let these big consortiums fight with other consortiums, as long as we roll up the funds as soon as possible and rent the channel leading to the outside of the wall, no one can shake our future status!" Du Di'an Leaning on the bed, he told Fulin.

Fulin was stunned, his eyes suddenly lit up, and said, "This is a good idea. The Scott consortium should accept it. Since we can't eat it, it will be more disadvantageous if we eat it forcibly. It is better to maximize the benefits." I couldn't help but glanced at this snow-white boy. At first I thought he was a thoughtful escaped prisoner. Later, I thought he was a cold-blooded and brutal hunter. Until yesterday, I thought he was a natural tailor, but now I found out that he Clearly a treacherous black businessman.

"You have a darker heart than me at a young age." Fulin sighed, suddenly thinking of something, and said, "There is also a newspaper from the military department, they report some information about prisoners and wanted information, as well as information about the courthouse. , with the latest investigation into the assassination of Deacon Hollet."

Du Di'an moved his eyes and said, "Show me." (To be continued.)
