LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

The car continued on through construction sites and roads under construction.

Swain thought for a long time on the way and had rich feelings.

Suddenly, he looked at the Linlang store passing by on the street and said to the driver: "Stop the car."

The car suddenly stopped. Amystan asked in confusion: "General Swain, what do you want?"

"I want to get out of the car and take a walk." After arriving, Swain decided to learn more about Zaun and the Wind Leader.

After all, you can only get a glimpse of it while sitting in the car. If you want to know more, you still have to get out of the car and have a sincere conversation with the locals.

"Well... Let's have lunch too." Swain fixed his sights on a busy snack bar on the street. There are many customers here and the atmosphere is lively, perfect for finding someone to chat with.

"Okay." Amystan nodded: "Then I'll wait for you in the car and won't follow you - you know, I can be considered a 'celebrity' in Zuan."

As the biggest reactionary leader in the Twin Cities, her face has been in the newspapers and is familiar to and disgusted by countless Zaun people.

If Amystan follows, Swain will no longer be able to conduct his "New Zaun Investigation" in a low-key manner.

So Swain got out of the car alone, leaning on a cane, and slowly walked into the snack bar along the street with trembling steps.

"Oh, old gentleman, please sit down, please sit down!"

The acting skills of this tactician commander fooled everyone around.

The owner of the snack bar thought that Swain was really a disabled old man with a broken arm who had difficulty walking, so he quickly greeted him warmly and helped him into the seat closest to the counter in the store.

Swain sat down, and without Swain taking the initiative to talk to him, the talkative snack bar owner locked his eyes on him - to be precise, he looked at the red boy Crow on his shoulder.

"Hey, old gentleman, why is there a bird standing on your shoulder? You look just like our President Levi."

"Haha." At this time, Swain didn't have the tone of an imperial noble, nor the majesty of a famous general. He really looked like a retired old man walking around with a cage, integrating into these ordinary people of Zaun without any sense of disobedience. among people.

He looked at the crow on his shoulder and just smiled and replied: "It is my pet. I take it with me wherever I go."

"President Levi said the same thing when he came last time." The snack bar owner said with a smile: "But who would have thought that the blue bird is the incarnation of the goddess Janna!"

"Oh?" Swain heard the boss's deliberate show off.

He also responded at the right time: "President Levi has eaten here too?"

"Of course!" the snack bar owner said proudly: "The last time he came here, Zaun was not liberated, the Wind Leader Association had just been established, and my snack bar was not a shop, but a food stall."

"At that time, President Levi personally came to Zaun to conduct social surveys. He was hungry at noon, so he happened to pass by my food stall and smelled the fragrance from our stall..."

The boss talked endlessly about a cliché origin story of the food, and also grandly introduced his exclusive specialty to Swain. It is said that Levi even praised the "President's Demon Marsh Frog" after eating it.

In fact, this is an ordinary pickled claw frog.

But after Li Wei has eaten it, I am afraid this dish will have to be called "President's Demon Swamp Frog" in the future.

"If you add 'Guild President', you dare to sell a silver wheel. Boss, why don't you go and grab it?" Swain joked.

He had been to the Twin Cities before and knew the prices in Piltover and Zaun. When did the mutated devil swamp frog fished out of the smelly ditch dare to sell a silver wheel?

"Hey, sir, are you from out of town?" The boss was unhappy: "Do you see where there are magic swamp frogs now? The smelly ditches have been cleaned up along with the garbage, and now we are all raising frogs ourselves. If you think it’s expensive, I still think it’s expensive.”

"Also, based on our current salary level in Zu'an, is one silver wheel still expensive?"

really.

When Swain saw that the shop was almost full of customers, he knew that the boss was not lying. This silver wheel demon swamp frog is not a luxury item, it is something that even the most ordinary Zaun people can afford.

The leaders completed industrial upgrading in a short period of time, and the excess profits brought by industrial upgrading increased the average salary of manufacturing workers. The increase in the consumption power of manufacturing workers has also boosted the income of workers in the surrounding service industries. As a result, the people of Zaun have money and can pursue a higher quality of life. Ultimately, a positive feedback loop is formed.

But this is not worthy of Swain's praise.

Because this set of gameplay was originally leftover from Pi City. Not to mention that the so-called industrial upgrade of the leader was snatched from the Pi City chaebol by force.

Although this made the Zaun people rich quickly, this style of play, which was not new, did not reflect the specialness and superiority of the leader.

"Speaking of which..." Swain looked at the snack bar owner.

He felt a very familiar feeling from this boss. Well, a savvy philistine from a small businessman in Piltover.

He didn't expect that in Za'an under the leadership of the leader, the business atmosphere among the people would be so strong.

"Leader allows you to do private business?" Swain asked curiously.

"Of course." The snack bar owner said, "Why can't we do this small business?"

"But the leader doesn't seem to be very friendly to businessmen." Swain's tone was subtly probing.

"That's about those big businesses, and we are just small property owners who support ourselves." To Swain's surprise, the owner of the snack bar turned out to be a knowledgeable person.

He explained to Swain seriously: "Leaders protect small property owners."

Small restaurants, small shops, small handicraft shops, these small production units are the capillaries of the social economy.

If the leader defeats even them, then more efforts will have to be spent on building countless state-owned stores to fill the vacancies of these numerous small production units.

But now the leaders simply don’t have that many grassroots cadres with reliable beliefs and excellent abilities. With their limited administrative capabilities, they are far from able to completely replace the role of the market.

So for now, it is necessary for the market and small property owners to exist.

"But..." The snack bar owner knows his stuff, and Swain knows his stuff even more.

In order to understand the enemy, he read "The Thoughts of Janna" thoroughly, and he couldn't help but point out pointedly: "Under the market environment, as time goes by, small property owners will surely give birth to big families in a steady stream."

It’s a very simple truth. Who in business doesn’t want to become bigger and stronger?

If everyone is allowed to do small business, then the winners among these small businessmen will sooner or later expand their businesses.

Just like the Tallis family, weren't they also small businessmen in the hammer business at the beginning? As a result, after meeting a genius like Jace, the Tallis family became Piltover's top tycoon in just a few years.

Jess has a noble character, so the Tallis family will naturally make a lot of money.

But Jace will die sooner or later. The Tallis family, which has become a chaebol, will not die. Who can guarantee that after Jace is gone, the Tallis family will not become the same evil dragon as the Philos family?

This problem has no solution.

"This is not a problem!" The snack bar owner said with confidence: "Our Zaun is a world of leaders - those big families who want to make their business bigger and stronger in Zaun must go through the leaders. Only by reforming and accepting 'joint venture' can we continue to do business."

"Joint venture?" Swain was a little curious.

"The so-called joint venture means..." It means that the leader holds shares in the company, but the corresponding production costs of the company must also be borne by the leader.

30% of the company's net profit must be handed over to the Zaun Municipal Government, the remaining 10% is used as employee reward guarantee, and 10% to 30% is used as the company's provident fund as a retirement benefit reserve for employees. Entrepreneurs and original shareholders, as private individuals, only receive 25% of the dividends.

"This..." Swain understood.

This is a disguised form of redemption, a mild publicization of private enterprises.

Although the proportion of dividends received by the owners of the joint venture is small. But leaders will also bear production costs and help make the cake bigger. In the end, the cake that business owners get will not necessarily be too small. Therefore, individual entrepreneurs are also motivated to make their business bigger and better.

This would satisfy the small property owners and at the same time prevent private enterprises from expanding indefinitely and controlling Zaun.

But the problem is...

"But in this case, wouldn't Zaun's big business be completely monopolized by the leader?"

Isn't it just a government-run enterprise? Swain from the Noxus Empire is very familiar with it.

In his view, this form of enterprise is simply synonymous with rigidity and inefficiency.

Noxus also showed amazing efficiency when it first built government-run enterprises. However, before long, each of these giant enterprises would be filled with wealthy nobles and corrupt bureaucrats and become so chaotic that they would be completely lost. Vitality has been reduced to a shit-making machine that eats up the empire’s tax dollars.

"No, you are wrong." The snack bar owner said so.

"Is rigidity and inefficiency really a problem only for government-owned enterprises? No, in fact, all large enterprises, whether private or public, have this problem."

"There has always been a saying in Piltover that it is a 'big business disease'. You must have heard of it, right?"

Because he had seen the corruption in Noxus, Swain subconsciously believed that private enterprises in Piltover were better than government enterprises.

But in fact, any enterprise, especially private enterprise, is the most authoritarian and feudal place in the world.

The company is owned by the boss, who is the emperor of the company.

Managers and senior executives are nobles who are attached to the emperor, and employees are soldiers who take orders from the nobles.

Therefore, when the company is small and faced with fierce market competition, everyone can still unite as one to make the company bigger and stronger.

Once a company gets bigger, there are more people, management needs become more complex, and the company's internal bureaucracy matures...

"All kinds of problems appeared immediately."

"This is the same as the problems faced by government-run enterprises, or even the problems faced by various countries and dynasties in Rune Land. There is no essential difference between the two."

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of selfishness and public concern.

How to solve this problem?

Faced with this problem, can private entrepreneurs really do better?

"No--"

"From ancient times to the present, for thousands of years, the only ones who can truly solve this problem are the leaders chosen by Janna God!"
