Arcane Age

Returning to the Fortune Chamber of Commerce, Xi Wei finally saw Kamius again.

Kamuo's complexion is not very good. It is obvious that he has spent a lot of energy on the affairs of the Violet Chamber of Commerce recently.

Unlike when I was still at the Fortune Chamber of Commerce, I only had to be a decision-maker. Although he has not left the Rothschild family now, he cannot get much help from the family, and many executive matters must be done personally.

Promoting cameras and windmills is the next step, but the most important thing is to prepare for the establishment of the Violet Chamber of Commerce and make a name for itself as soon as possible.

"Drink this to make you feel better!" Xi Wei threw a bottle of colorless and slightly silvery potion to Camus.

Camus didn't ask any questions, he just opened it and drank it. His whole body was shaken, and the numbness that was originally exhausted to the extreme seemed to have been re-nourished and disappeared.

"What kind of potion is this? It seems to be even better than the dreamy effect!" Kamius asked in high spirits.

"This is a spiritual supplement potion made from Moon Well water, processed and extracted by me!" Xi Wei asked in reply: "What is dreamy blur?"

"A hallucinogenic potion that can increase mental excitement and is also helpful for magicians to cast spells!" Kamius whispered to Xi Wei: "It is sold at the Mesmerized White Crow Tavern, which is a gathering point for magicians from the spiritual school! "

"You dare to set up a fixed base in Pa'ali?" Xi Wei asked puzzledly. You must know that the Psychic Mage has been included in the "necessary filth in the world" by the Lord of Glory Church, and is on the most severe hit list.

"It just appeared in the past two years, and I only found out about it because of the cooperation with Fortune Chamber of Commerce." Camus frowned slightly: "Many underground forces have begun to become more active, and they seem to be less concerned about Guanghui. The existence of the Lord’s Church!”

"Kamiu, can you give me information about the major newspapers published in Paali, as well as the financial backers and forces behind them?" Xi Wei asked a new question.

"Does Principal Xiwei want to cooperate, or does he want to control a publicity channel belonging to the Violet Chamber of Commerce?" Kamius is indeed a member of the Rothschild family, and he quickly guessed Xiwei's intention.

"The right to speak is a very important right!" Xiwei explained: "There must be a media to speak for us and the group we represent! And at this stage, newspapers are undoubtedly the best choice!"

"I did neglect this point! There are about seven or eight popular newspapers in Paali, the royal capital, but there are also many tabloids. Newspapers have only been around for less than thirty years, and their status is not too high. The influence is not too great, and no big crocodile has entered the market to complete the monopoly yet!”

"But the main audience of the newspaper is small nobles, businessmen, educated citizens, workers, and shop assistants. These are the basis of our strength, and they overlap very closely with the recruitment sources of our magic apprentices!" Xi Wei said loudly: "Then As the literacy rate increases and basic education gradually becomes more popular, newspapers will be a very important media channel for a long time. The Violet Chamber of Commerce must occupy this publicity territory as soon as possible. This will also be the focus of work in the next period of time!"

"I'm asking Mrs. Adele for some information!" Camus nodded.

Camus was very efficient. In less than a magic hour, he appeared in front of Xi Wei with a thick piece of information.

"At present, the newspaper industry is mainly divided into three major systems. The first royal system, the most important one is "Le Royal de France", which is the mouthpiece of the royal family. It focuses on promoting military, politics and major current affairs. It currently ranks first in sales, and It is also the most influential. The second one is the big aristocracy and the church system. The one with the highest sales volume is the Orléans family's "Paper Enchantment". This is a newspaper that almost everyone who wants to join the upper class subscribes to, leading the fashion. Weather vane. The "Glory Monitor" published and distributed by the Lord of Glory Church also has good sales. The third is the merchant system, mainly various commercial newspapers and periodicals. Almost all businessmen will subscribe to "France Business", which currently has the highest sales volume." Miao briefly told Xi Wei the general situation.

"Are there no newspapers that target ordinary citizens and tell stories about parents' shortcomings and life around them?" Xi Wei raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, but they are all tabloids. These newspapers use lace and colored paper to attract readers. The sales volume is uneven, and the reviews are very bad!" Kamiao paused: "Principal Xiwei, we want to make this type of newspaper ?"

"That's right! Based on the masses, write what the public wants to read most and what the citizens care about most!" Xi Wei nodded: "Find a poorly managed newspaper that is suitable for acquisition. We will complete the acquisition and transformation as soon as possible and take advantage of the Midsummer Night Music Seize the opportunity and open up the situation as soon as possible!”

A magical moment later, Xi Wei and Kamu appeared outside a two-story building at the end of 19th Avenue in Dongcheng District, riding in a luxury carriage borrowed from the Fortune Chamber of Commerce.

The land price in the royal capital of Paali is higher in the west, where all the high-ranking officials and dignitaries gather, while the Dongcheng District has become a place where the general public gathers, and there are even many slums.

Along the way, the buildings on both sides of the road are getting shorter and older, and the clothes worn by the citizens are getting more and more ragged, but at least the destination has not yet appeared in the slums.

"Is this here?" Xi Wei stepped out of the carriage: "It seems like they are not living a very good life!"

"That's right, now the Murdoch family is in big trouble!" Camus was wearing a uniform and carrying a brown leather briefcase, looking like a secretary.

The Murdoch family has the title of baron, which is quite prominent in the countryside. However, in the royal capital of Paali, a small baron is really inconspicuous.

Thirty years ago, the then family patriarch Ashjan Murdoch had just graduated from the Université Nationale de France and founded the first newspaper in the Kingdom of France - "Journal of Paali", which gained popularity in a short period of time. It was a huge success, selling tens of thousands of copies every day.

However, soon, this business was targeted.

Although the other party had a very powerful background, this was Old Murdoch's lifelong effort. He would never allow anyone to take advantage of him. Even when the situation was most critical, he personally rang the big bell hanging in front of the French Noble Heraldry Bureau to request His Majesty the King shall arbitrate.

Although he was only a small baron, he also represented the order of the nobility. Under the mediation of Charles VII, the two parties finally shook hands and made peace, and the other party never tried to control the newspaper again.

But soon, a new "Paali Evening News" was released, which soon surpassed the sales volume of "Paali Daily". The original dealers of "Paali Daily" switched to their rivals. "Paali Daily" Falling from the top, unable to recover.
