LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

Chapter 162 Public opinion war? (Please subscribe

With Levi presiding over the situation and Seraphine in charge of the interrogation, in the next few days, the "precise liquidation" of Takeda's remaining parties by the Leader Association continued in an orderly manner.

Those who should be shot should be shot, and those who should be reformed through hard labor can't go wrong.

The small business owners who were innocently affected by the chaos were released and compensated in a timely manner.

Not only did they not feel disgusted with the leader because of this unfortunate encounter, but they all also had a good impression of the leader——

Because an organization like Wind Leader that liquidates its enemies has to go through trial and investigation, and will take the initiative to compensate the people when problems arise... There is almost no other organization in the entire Rune Lands.

In the more than two hundred years of Zaan's history, this was the first time that Zaan had seen such a reasonable "Alchemist Baron".

So even though this "change of dynasty" process is also somewhat chaotic, they are still full of recognition and expectations for this new "gang" that calls itself the Leader Association.

At the same time, the leader's work of expropriating the capitalist class of the former Takeda territory was also proceeding smoothly at an unexpected speed.

This is because the social structure of Zaun is extremely abnormal.

The social structure of ordinary Zibenist city-states is pyramid-shaped.

The poor at the bottom are the largest in number and scale, followed by the middle class, and the elite big bourgeoisie are the smallest, firmly occupying the top of the tower.

A developed Zorist city-state like Piltover is a healthy olive society if you don't count the Zaunites who actually work for Piltover.

And Zu An is awesome.

This is a "flagpole" society that is rare to see on earth.

There are very few people in the ruling class who stand at the top of the flagpole, and very few people in the middle class.

The remaining 95% or more of the population are the lowest "base" of this flagpole and are the absolutely impoverished proletariat.

This is because, in this world where extraordinary power exists, the power gap between the strong and the weak is too great, and the cost of ruling by the strong is too low.

Just like Takeda Saito, he could achieve iron-fisted rule over hundreds of thousands of territorial residents with just a few hundred prosthetic transformed warriors.

Because Piltover is under pressure from the Zaun independence movement, it is often attacked by "national alchemy barons" such as Fandel and Silko, so it still needs to rely on excess profits to buy the people and cultivate solid and reliable people. basic disk.

But Takeda Saito doesn't need it.

Of course there were many people who resisted him, but these Zaun people had no theoretical basis and no strict organization. Their forces were scattered and unable to form a unified force, and they could not achieve anything.

Therefore, Takeda Saito does not even need to cultivate a solid middle class as a basic base. He only needs to hold the gun tightly and continue to do whatever he wants.

Whether they are the extremely poor or the middle class, they are all the targets of his wanton exploitation.

As a result, the wealth within his territory will naturally be concentrated infinitely on Takeda Saito alone.

He is no longer even considered an ordinary property owner, but is infinitely close to a "final property owner".

Therefore, in the Zaun coastal area, the territory of Takeda Saito, except for the various subsidiaries of the Takeda Group, there are almost no other companies with scale and climate.

And because there is no government in Zaun, this giant company called Takeda Group is the de facto "government" of the coastal area.

Therefore, it is very inappropriate to say that the Zuan people have always lived in a society where the "state-owned economy is absolutely dominant" - but their "country" is not owned by the whole people, but only belongs to the shareholders of the Takeda Group.

This greatly facilitates the work of the leader.

The leader does not need to capture the capitalist class all over the world. He only needs to confiscate the land and enterprises of the Takeda Group and send staff to settle there. The expropriation of the capitalist class here will be almost completed.

Once the remnants of the Takeda Party are liquidated and various community and factory branches are established, the initial social transformation of the base area will be almost completed.

So with the destruction of Takeda Saito, the Wind Leader Association quickly completed the digestion and absorption of its territory.

The leader's career is booming.

But new questions are also emerging:

"Thugs, instigated by the Leader Association and under the banner of the so-called Goddess Janna, swarmed into Mr. Takeda's estate like an out-of-control beast tide - they killed, set fire, robbed... and committed crimes imaginable by humans. All evil deeds."

"Sandalwood from Ionia, luminous pearls from Bilgewater, rune sculptures from Demacia, treasures and artifacts from Shurima, clocks, pianos, books and music written by Master Piltover... "

"Everything precious and civilized was destroyed at the hands of these thugs."

“This is a regression of civilization, a carnival of barbarism, and a shameless trampling of freedom and human rights——”

"Woohoo! Our more than 200 years of civilized enlightenment movement against Zaun finally failed today."

"Let us pay tribute to Mr. Takeda, a famous entrepreneur, philanthropist, scientist, and social activist in Zaun, and observe a moment of silence for this poor and unfortunate gentleman."

"The following is a message from the orphanage children sponsored by Mr. Takeda during his lifetime on this matter..."

"..."

In the mansion of the Medalda family, Miss Mel handed such a copy of "Piltover Daily" to Levi.

She came to Li Wei because she had something to discuss, and this matter also had something to do with this newspaper:

"This is the article that was published on the front page of the Piltover Daily News today."

As he spoke, Mel picked up the exquisite gilt porcelain cup and took a few sips of tea with the grace of an aristocratic lady. After Levi finished reading the article, he asked in a leisurely tone:

"Mr. Levi, what do you think?"

"As toilet paper, it's too hard for wiping butts." Levi smiled.

"Haha." Miss Mel, who was born into a noble family, was also amused by his vulgar Zu'an language.

However, she still said seriously: "Mr. Levi, our war with them has already begun - in terms of public opinion."

"It doesn't matter." Levi was very confident.

He is not afraid of fighting a public opinion war with the Piltover plutocrats.

The leader's own newspaper has already been launched.

"Leader Daily" is distributed for free in Zaun. The people of Zaun are very poor, so if there is free stuff, they must take advantage of it.

Even if you are not interested in reading it after buying it, it is still good to use it as toilet paper.

And if you use newspapers as toilet paper, even if you are no longer interested, you will always have time to take a look when you are squatting in the toilet.

Therefore, the popularity of "Leader Daily" in Zaun is already very high.

In Piltover, although the "Daily Leader" does not distribute for free, it does come with a random Yu-Gi-Oh card for free.

In other words, you can also draw cards when buying newspapers.

Drawing the limited edition Blue Eyes White Dragon is a real bonus.

Therefore, this newspaper is not only read by many people in Zaun, but its sales in Piltover have also exploded.

Even the "Daily Herald", within just one month after its birth, surpassed the "Piltover Daily News" in sales, which had existed in the Twin Cities for nearly 300 years.

In addition, Levi also established a tabloid in an unofficial name.

He privately called the tabloid the "Leader of Shock".

It is not responsible for promoting Janna ideas and the content is not that serious.

Instead, they followed the routine of the free media and were only responsible for collecting all kinds of dirty information about the Piltover Parliament, becoming an opposition party that opposed everything and was professionally abusive.

Not only is the content itself exciting, but the titles are more sensational and eye-catching than the last.

If you catch people's attention, sales will naturally increase.

The people of Piltover would naturally feel disgusted with the Piltover Parliament after reading this kind of newspaper that reported the bad news but not the good news, and saw the bad news but not the good news.

When this kind of antipathy accumulates to a certain extent, their thoughts will naturally be biased towards new ideas and new systems.

Anyway...

Levi not only won the public opinion war with these tricks, he even made a lot of money by selling newspapers.

Especially the innovative combination of entertainment and gambling, which made the elders in Pi City say that they are afraid of future generations.

They even began to quietly imitate Levi's tricks, and also began to repackage traditional lottery tickets that were no longer selling well, and made them look like two-dimensional krypton gold drawing cards.

“But they have to create a mature, reliable and attractive big IP first.”

"If we just blindly review our methodology, but fail to empower the product, add cultural aura, achieve brand precipitation, and use high-experience cultural packaging as the starting point to penetrate the user's mind, then this combination of punches will not be able to hit the tipping point, and it will not be able to win. Make an impact..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Levi was in the middle of chatting when Miss Mel helplessly interrupted him by holding her forehead.

She was also quite curious as to where this biggest enemy of the bourgeoisie had learned so many novel business ideas.

"Even if you are not chosen by the goddess Janna, you will definitely become a big business owner, Mr. Levi." Mel smiled.

Li Wei is simply a natural child of the Ziben family.

Not to mention, she was born into a noble family of the Noxus Empire. He was assigned as a "coolie" by his family, and he did all the work of the Piltover family.

"I didn't expect that the two of us would sit together as leaders." She sighed.

"Because we have ideals." Levi said: "Ideals are the highest pursuit of mankind, which is more fascinating than all luxurious material enjoyment."

"Yeah..." Miss Mel nodded in agreement.

Then she said: "But our ideals may soon be tested."

"This newspaper is just an appetizer. The real problem is, Mr. Levi, what we did to Takeda Saito in Zaun has scared those Piltover people."

"The article they threw out was just a shallow temptation. They are still hesitating."

"But next, the great families of Piltover will come to test your true attitude."

Mel reveals a dangerous message.

Levi was curious: "How are they going to test it?"

"The shares of Takeda Group." Meier said: "You should already know that Takeda Group is not entirely Takeda Saito's industry - behind him, there are also many Picheng Capital holding shares of Takeda Group. "

"Yes, I know that." Levi nodded.

In fact, you don’t even have to think about it.

The waters of the Twin Cities are completely controlled by Piltover.

How could Takeda Saito build such a large-scale smuggling fleet under Pi City's nose without the Pi City chaebol platform and the support of Pi City Capital behind him?

"Now the Leader Association has confiscated all of Takeda Saito's property, which naturally includes their share."

"And what those Picheng people mean is that they need you to return their shares in Takeda Group and recognize all of Picheng Capital's vested interests in Zaun..."

"If you don't admit it, you are realizing Zaun's independence in disguise."

"The guise of 'non-violence and non-cooperation' may no longer be able to scare them."
