Mage Joan

Chapter 2402: Distant beacon smoke

No matter how busy work is, Qiao An always spares some time every day to exercise and read newspapers, which are two indispensable pleasures in his daily life.

The dairy farm is remote and it is inconvenient to buy newspapers. Qiao An now relies more on the information obtained from the “cloud network”.

In fact, as early as a year ago, Yunwang opened a column dedicated to reprinting newspapers and periodicals from all over the world, throwing an "olive branch" to journalists from various countries in Vares to seek cooperation.

The cooperation model proposed by Yunwang is very simple. The newspaper provides a copy of the latest proof every day, and the full text is reprinted after the review by the news editorial department of Yunwang, and it is provided to Yunwang users for a paid subscription.

Users can preview newspaper headlines for free, and if they want to read the full text, they have to spend two copper coins to buy the online version of the newspaper-which is cheaper than buying a physical newspaper.

In the beginning, traditional newspaper organizations were generally resistant to the novelty of “online news”, and regarded cloud networks as disruptors who undermined industry rules, especially those major newspapers with certain influence in the local area, with conservative arrogance. With his mentality, he dismissed the cooperation email from the cloud network news gathering department and threw it directly into the trash.

However, after just one year, the ecology of the news industry has undergone tremendous changes.

Now it is no longer that Yunwang asks the major newspapers for paid reprinting, but the major newspapers lower their stance and ask Yunwang to pull them out to help their poor friends.

The change in the status of both parties stems from the rapid expansion of the cloud network.

Today, Yunwang has no less than 100,000 users. Except for a few "cloud card" users, more than 70% of users are spellcasters.

While cloud network benefits spellcasters all over the world, it has also cultivated the broad caster class in the world of Vares into a "petty bourgeoisie" in a broad sense.

Even if the user is just a small 1st-level mage, he can automatically get at least one 1st-level spell slot every day. According to the trading market of the cloud network, it is equivalent to 10 well-known Jindujia net income. Don't mind spending two copper coins to subscribe for one. Divide newspapers of interest.

Online subscription is not only cheaper, but also more convenient. It takes less than ten seconds to transfer two copper coins from your own cloud account, which is especially suitable for users like Qiao An who is in a remote location and is inconvenient to order physical newspapers.

After a high-quality newspaper is reposted by Yunwang, it is not a difficult goal for the average subscriber to exceed 3,000.

If this is a daily newspaper, the newspaper will earn more than 10,000 kintales every year just through authorized reprinting!

In the entire New World, there are only a handful of newspaper giants such as Leiden Post, Midgard Tribune and New Avalon News that can achieve this level of annual net income.

The most valuable resource of the cloud network is the 100,000-level high-quality users. With such a large amount of traffic, you can make money every day by doing anything.

No one does a loss-making business, and a profitable business takes the lead. In recent years, the traditional newspaper industry has been violently impacted by the cloud and the Internet. In order to make a living, it has to lower its arrogant head, pick up the cooperation invitation letter from the trash can, and change a pleasing face to seek cooperation with the cloud. What a shame.

Make money, not shabby!

Qiao An has subscribed to hundreds of newspapers on the cloud. The daily subscription cost is only two gold coins. With the "quick (quantity) speed (sub) reading (wave) reading (movement) method" invented by him, no You can read through hundreds of newspapers in half an hour.

This kind of reading method is actually not difficult at all, as long as the intellectual attributes reach 50 points, elementary school students can learn it well.

Most of the news published in the newspaper belonged to little-valued fast food. Readers are nothing more than happy, but occasionally important news related to the current situation.

On the morning of July 24, Qiao An saw a piece of news that made him deeply disturbed through Cloud News:

The two armies of the Far East were assembled at the Olevi Fortress. His Royal Highness Roland went to the military parade and vowed to march west!

Ever since the Imperial Expeditionary Army retreated across the board, Qiao An worried that the Far Easterners would switch from defense to offensive and march into the Empire.

Originally, he hoped that the regent of the Far East would accept it when he saw it, but now it seems that the ambition of His Royal Highness Roland and his generals is not only to regain lost ground, but to invade the former sovereign state.

The flames of war are about to spread to the interior of the empire. When will this dispute end?

Although the Far Easterners have won successive victories on the battlefield, it seems that the troops are strong and the morale is like a rainbow, but Qiao An does not think that the Far Eastern troops have the ability to break through the layers of the pass from Herrenborg to Binhai City, all the way to the holy city of Yashan. It is possible to annex the Holy Ashen Empire with a population of 200 million and a territory of tens of millions of square miles!

The size difference between the two sides of the war was too great. The Far Easterners launched military operations on the mainland of the empire. It was purely an act of dementia that was not greedy. The war that began with fanatical cheers would eventually end in miserable defeat.

Qiao An really couldn't figure out why Roland, a current British lord who was recognized as having great talents, would also make the low-level mistakes made by the rulers of the empire at the time, and did not understand the rationale of not being enough?

After expelling the Imperial Expeditionary Army, advocating peace is the wisest decision. Regardless of the empire or the Far East, the lack of greed and the military will never end well!

After closing the news page, Qiao An sighed. He had a foreboding that Roland Kolas, the regent of the Far East, who had risen like a comet, would also fall from the altar and fade away because of his impulsive launch of this war against the inland of the empire.

Should we rush to discount the bond before the Far Eastern Legion lost the battle in the interior of the empire, or fell into a guerrilla warfare by the imperial people spontaneously resisting the invaders?

Qiao Ann secretly calculated.

The bond has not yet matured. Now discounting will definitely lose part of the interest income, but at least it will not lose money, which seems to be the most reasonable choice.

After hesitating for a long time, Qiao Ann still failed to make up his mind, and felt it necessary to ask Professor Moriarty, Mrs. Josephine and Rebecca's views.

Professor Moriarty and Mrs. Josephine are more experienced in financial speculation, and they can also obtain insider information that is not yet known to the public in advance through certain special channels.

Rebecca may not be well-informed, but she has a magical gift derived from faith, occasionally being able to predict the future with her extremely developed intuition, or it is more appropriate to call it "spiritual".

Qiao Ann and Rebecca get along for a long time, and they feel more and more powerful and terrifying of her intuition.

If the conclusion he deduced according to common sense is inconsistent with the judgment made by Rebecca based on intuition, Qiao An must reassess this seemingly irrational military action by the Far Easterners.

Thinking about this, Qiao Ann took out the communication crystal and planned to send a letter to Rebecca first.

At this moment, a magic wave suddenly appeared in front of him, and a ball of red light emerged.

Qiao An held the ball of light to read the information, frowning involuntarily.
