Chapter 117: 117 Arc 3: Rise of the Empire


    The army published news of the control of the 12 banditsnds on the newspaper''s front page. This territory was renamed the Empire''s Temporary Special Economic Zone. This news did not create a ripple among the general public.


    As for the citizens of the empire, they did not care about this news. The 12th Land of Bandits was too far away, but this matter among the businessmen was different.


    In a famous restaurant that Endured hundreds of honorable guests, The council members arranged toe together to have a drink in this ce.


    "Drink to our victory," Parliamentary capitalists partied for the imperial army that was able to reim the territorywaving the ck eagle g. Sing the national anthem throughout thend.


    "We are rich now," the capitalist looked at the number of precious resources buried underground. They also heard that the numbers are rough estimates. If doing a more in-depth survey, it would be impossible to estimate a considerable amount of resources.


    And this number has yet to count how many heavy metal minerals they don''t yet know. Asleep in the underground, waiting for them to dig up.


    "I have to hurry the road construction sooner," said Shui Wei Hong, chairman of the Wanqing Industry Group. Almost unbearable dys in road construction The government construction team has several workloads.


    Causing insufficient human resources allocation to the construction, they dyed the process of building roads in the Special Economic Zone as well. He wants to fly to the Special Economic Zone to build an oil rig as quickly as possible.


    Shui Weihong, therefore, thought of donating some money to the government to expedite the construction of the road, cut through as quickly as possible. Not only did Shui Wei Hong had such an idea. Many business entrepreneurs thought of hiring private constructionpanies to help the government.


    Of course, such a good matter, the government will not deny it. ept the help of prominent business people.


    Right now, the oil price in the market has started to move a bit. There is an increasing oil demand every day. Now, if anyone has bought shares in the oilpany, there will be absolutely no loss. Oil and energypanies are thus benefited in this regard.


    Do not underestimate the power of the empire''s capitalists. Outwardly, they hold the position of councilors. There was a floating power hanging without real power.


    But their economic power is still working.


    The power and wealth of a businessman can create prosperity or shake the empire. On their own, Zhao Lingxin then yed a political game of bncing energy. Divide the capitalist into two lines and let them fight. They were not allowing the capitalists to gather to put pressure on the empire.


    Despite such political operations, the capitalists'' power began to increase very quickly every day until bing an empire''s elemental power.


    If Zhao Lingxin did not control them as well, they might bite him by one day.


    Therefore, Zhao Lingxin gave an opportunity to 250 intellectuals. It is bing a council member to cause problems for capitalists to the next level. The divide-and-rule strategy is the most effective.


    "Hmph, if crude oil is one of us, it would be best," Sun Yuan said indignantly. This wealth benefit They also need to share with the capitalists of Dongzhou.


    "Ever since the new stock market opened, They were even more intimidated, and they didn''t see our faces again." Sun Yuan clenched a fist, insulting the Dongzhou entrepreneur. Both ventures have more divisions, creating cracks to the next level.


    Initially, the Shenzhou businessmen got rich from a concession and followed Zhao Lingxin first. In addition, the capital Shenzhou also has a stock market to raise considerable money for business expansion. As a result, the wealthy Shenzhou capitalist has increased ten times, overtaking thepetition, not seeing dust.


    Later, after the empire had sessfully reunited thend, Dongzhou party capitalist who became deputy was in full touch with capitalism. They are also eligible to raise funds. Not only that, Zhao Lingxin saw the importance of Dongzhou''s eastern port city.


    That can be developed for a longer distance Zhao Lingxin established another Dongzhou Stock Exchange Market.


    The status and wealth of the capitalist Dongzhou party have soared. Up to the equivalent of a Shenzhou capitalist.


    Sun Yuan had climbed over the Gu family and became the wealthiest dean in the empire. But this time, the Gu family is reviving back. Shook Sun Yuan''s state once again.


    During this time, parliamentary meetings have not progressed. Both sides turned to argue as before. Use the strength of the strategy to decide the oue and win the council instead of voting.


    Besides that, the battle in the council became even more heated to the next level. Zhao Lingxin has appointed 250 councilors from intellectuals. Causing the Imperial Parliament to have a total of 500 members


    A group of intellectuals who came to the council looked at them, the businessmen, with scorned eyes like a piece of trash.


    "It reeks the smell of money all over the ce. I was very disgusted."


    This group of intellectuals did not brawl like street thugs. But they were relying on sharp words, cutting and hurting the mind, causing pain and grief.


    "You are just low-ss merchants. Do not always learn yourself with us." On the first day, a group of 250 graduates came to the council. Open several more maneuvers.


    Zhao Ling Xin had already begun to think that he should turn this ce into a severe arena. They were selling tickets for people to have fun watching and cheering them on.


    Power in the parliament immediately split into three divisions. Both capitalists could not shake hands in harmony. They arepletely broken. As a result, all 250 intellectuals began to influence the council.


    Each session of the meeting was full of controversy. Each agendasts for a month and cannot find a solution. Except it was an emergency and had a prescription from Zhao Lingxin. So they will allow thew to pass quickly.


    Back to the party again, The capitalists began to cut enough allocated cakes for each individual. Then they started drinking and chatting in a leisurely manner.


    "After thatw came out, How are you guys?" Sun Yuan asked everyone about the current business situation. Thew Sun Yuan was referring to was anything but impossible. Imperial antitrustw.


    "I have to sell some of my business. Even though I have to lose some, it''s still a bit profitable." Deng Laojun let out a sigh. Antitrustws have forced him to sell part of his business to remain only the main business.


    "I am even worse than you. The Wanqing Industry Group had to waive some patents and concessions. Guys, think about it. How much profit can those concessions be? But I have to let it out." Shui Wei Hong mourned the difficulties during this period. Everything was as if surrounded on all sides that it was impossible to move around.


    After the antitrustw came into effect, The Judicial Office will decide whether eachpany is a monopoly or not. Unfortunately, the three business giants have been charged with this. He was causing them to obey an entire court order Because everyone knows that the ck hand behind it is the emperor. Forcing them to give up part of their business, but for good, they did not dare to offend Zhao Lingxin.


    "Both of you are already considered terrible. Me, almost to perish." Sun Yuan drank alcohol and wept. He was venting unhappiness during this period.


    Sun Technology Company was named the number onepany in the empire. Would conduct arge amount of monopoly and be targeted by the judiciary more than anywhere else.


    Sun Yuan had to hand over some patents and production technology to the Dongzhou merchant. Not only that, Sun Yuan had to sell off the original raw material factory as well.


    Although this antitrustw damages all three, it had a very good oue on the empire.


    First of all, the back-to-back Dongzhou merchants on the production process. They opened their eyes, spread their mouths, able to fight with the big three Dongzhou merchants who received modern production technology back. Bes built many industrial factories, And it is the reason that Dongzhou has developed rapidly, almostparable to the capital.


    Dongzhou City was previously known as the Eastern Pearl Trade Port. The more they have advanced manufacturing processes. It developed more rapidly until the city of Dongzhou truly lives up to the name of the Pearl of the East. However, the town of Dongzhou is a little behind the necessary infrastructure. But it developed every day until almostplete.


    Subsequently, primary production became more distributed to small private individuals. That is the process of mining. Economic crop cultivation Especially in mining, there were smallpanies. Using modern mining processes, As result, the empire was now able to mine arge amount of ore.


    Later, since thepany Sun Technology has sold some of the business. Causing small private individuals to have newpanies, That is, the production of necessary materials. Such as metal processing Produces small industrial parts such as screws and nails. Then forward it to the bigpany that will assemble the details for thest time.


    All of this formed a business cycle. All sides must help and support each other in a circle, unable to leave any side. Create a bustling economic atmosphere that is different from the original. The giantpany controls the production process from upstream to downstream. We are not sharing benefits with others. Eat the meat and the curry, not even a single drop of soup left.


    The antitrustw created prosperity and spread to all areas. If thisw is not released, The state of the empire''s economy will be different, unlike the present.


    "How can I do that? Would have to me us who were too outstanding Until His Highness was displeased, "Shui Wei Hong said sadly. The dream of using money to rule the world has copsed.


    "Never mind this matter. We are about to get a new set of oil concessions in the special economic zone. I think we shoulde to celebrate this more genuinely," said Deng Laojun, dispelling the gloomy atmosphere once again.


    Just a new set of oil concessions In just this life, they were profitable until they could not use it all. Why worry about the past?


    "Drink for our sess and for our future." Before drinking the best liquor.


    "Long live the empire."


    "To the Emperor." In the end, they did not forget to praise Zhao Lingxin. Compared to it, Zhao Lingxin, the capitalist emperor, was better than the other emperors. In the eyes of a merchant, Zhao Lingxin was the best emperor in history.
