In terms of the twenty-four solar terms in the East Samlian continent, it is Grain Rain, which is the day when most countries in the Samlian continent start farming, and Crossbell is no exception.
Although the agriculture of Crossbell City mainly relies on imports from the Erebonian Empire and the Republic of Kalvad, there is also a piece of agricultural land belonging to the Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture. Take the Mainz Mine, Crossbell City Arum Lake as an example
The west side of the dividing line is mainly forest, and the east side is plain. Including the northernmost village of Almolika, more than a dozen rural areas are distributed on this plain.
Normally, Rainbow Group's business does not require her, the behind-the-scenes boss, to come forward. She only needs to provide requirements, and the executive committee below will automatically help her assign tasks level by level. However, today's situation is slightly different. She sent someone
The new seeds sold to villagers with little knowledge and culture are new products after several generations of improvements from ancient rice seeds from floating cities. Lingmi 1203-typeθ, or Lingmi for short, requires sunlight, water, and minerals just like ordinary crops.
In addition to material things, spiritual power is also needed to thrive, and the crops produced are also somewhat special. Compared with ordinary rice, they can restore the warrior's physical strength and energy consumption, and they are also more resistant to hunger. Ling's doll employees are in Luo
Zembelke's water cultivation plant has grown enough for the family to feed themselves. What she needs to verify now is whether this extraordinary crop can be cultivated in an ordinary soil environment with low fertility. If it can, use this rice
Promoted on a large scale.
The Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture is a land full of spiritual power. Even if it is not a large spiritual vein like the Moon Monastery or the South Bank Wetland, there are many small spiritual veins scattered on the ordinary plains. Ling selected the one with the most active power of Qiyao
Seven villages were used as a pilot project, and sales specialists were asked to go to the village chief's home to promote sales. Although the preferential conditions such as providing free seeds, promising to purchase all output, and paying deposits in advance seemed suspicious, most of the kind-hearted villagers did not think about it.
So many. As long as there is profit from Mira, many people are willing to accept the trial planting of new crops.
In addition to being the food that humans just need, she also provides the seeds of some "crops" that are more expensive to purchase. Compared with spiritual rice, these are a bit inconvenient to explain to outsiders, but at least on the surface they are just some.
Beautiful flowers and leaves, without special processing, no one would associate them with the happy water sold by Rainbow Group in department stores.
Ling even had the idea of planting spiritual grass, but in the end she put an end to that idea. Yoasim was already planting grass in the enclosure at the Great Spirit Vein in the South Bank Wetland, and the two of them had been working together happily for many years.
The remaining great spiritual veins, whether near the Moon Monastery or the Star View Tower, are the territory of the Kurois family, so there is no need to cause trouble by yourself.
It took a whole afternoon to promote the new rice. The simple farmers were much easier to deceive than the thieving citizens in the city. They signed a sales contract with Ling without any doubt that they were cheating. They gave 30% of last year's harvest.
After giving the advance payment to the village chiefs of each village, things here went smoothly.
After returning to Crossbell City, Ling went to Grimwood Law Firm in the West Block to discuss with him the follow-up issues of several business fighting competitions held in the past week.
Ian Grimwood (ian_grimwood) was born in Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture in the year 1147 of Qiyao Calendar. He is 55 years old and 180 meters tall.
He runs a law firm in Crossbell City. From legal affairs for companies and traders, to assisting police investigations, to providing legal consultation to citizens, he juggles multiple tasks with extraordinary energy. No matter what the problem, he
They will try their best to solve the problem, and they are nicknamed Bearded Bear Lawyer and are widely loved by people.
Although he has not engaged in politics, his reputation among the citizens of Crossbell is unmatched by most members. If he is determined to run for office, he will undoubtedly become a strong contender for the next speaker's seat, but this is not his ambition.
I have absolutely no intention of doing this.
Due to his work, Ian has contacts with various organizations and people such as companies and police in various countries. Therefore, he has knowledge about everything from political economy to international situations, and even the d∴g Order and the Body-Eating Snake.
.
Ling has known about the character of Ian for a long time. His understanding of the original plot allowed him to know that Ian is the master planner in the Bi-zero plan. Compared with Dita who is a dreamer and Maria Bell who is dedicated to pursuing the truth and mystery.
, Ian is the person who can be called the "mastermind behind the scenes".
But speaking of her real acquaintance, it was in October 1202 that she was introduced to her by Dita Koroys.
At that time, Ling received the support of Dita, and Crossbell International Bank (ibc) took the lead to build the ninth city division sports area of Crossbell City on the grassland on the south side of the continental railway, imitating the Olympic Village plan of the previous life. Gram
Los Bell International Bank already has relevant experience in regional development, and its recent commercial development of Mishulam left a very good impression on the entire autonomous prefecture council, so Dita successfully helped Ling get the people above her.
Dita and Ling were causing trouble in the sports area without alerting anyone else at all.
The first eight districts of Crossbell City are the Administrative District, Harbor District, Residential Street, Happy Street, East Block, West Block, Old Town and Central Square. Today, half a year later, it is located in the southwest of Crossbell City
The sports area has become part of the life of the citizens of Crossbell.
After her first cooperation with Ian during the construction of the sports area, Ling also received a lot of help from Ian's lawyer during the establishment of Rainbow Group. Later, the cover page of "Cross Bell Times", Cross Bell
Lawyer Ian was involved in the holding of sports games and even the opening of the underground arena.
In major cities in the Republic of Kalvad, there is often the highest white gang law enforcer, and there is also the highest underworld law enforcer. There is law as the highest white gang law, and there are the highest underworld unspoken rules. Because a boss sitting in charge is better than a miscellaneous gangster.
More harmony and tranquility. As long as many things are not excessive or excessive, the local government will turn a blind eye.
Since the great war between the Erebonian Empire and the Calvard Republic seventy years ago, the Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture became formally independent as a result of the war. It was influenced by the ideological trends of the Calvard Republic and was originally supposed to be closer to Erebon.
The Closbell region, which has a Nian style of painting, has gradually formed a painting style similar to that of the Calvard Republic in some aspects.
The highest white gang law enforcer in Crossbell City is Police Chief Hogas (the name of the police chief is not mentioned in "Trail of Zero", the name comes from "Trail of the Stars"), while the top underworld law enforcer is from the Lubach Chamber of Commerce.
Behind the fifth generation of Marconi, Marconi is the Speaker of the Closbell Autonomous Prefecture Assembly, Haltmann. Taking the Black Auction as an example, it is often difficult to tell whether the actions of the Lubach Chamber of Commerce are Marconi's will or the will of Marconi.
Haltermann's will.
Any successful operator will have support and protection under the table. Even if there is not one initially, there will be one in the future.
After half a year, the Lubacher Chamber of Commerce and the Pofengniao Chamber of Commerce are now in a state of mutual cooperation, and even often cooperate. The influence of the Pofengniao Chamber of Commerce is limited to the sports area, and for the other eight urban areas, as well as
It showed no interest in parts outside the city of Crossbell, such as the health resort of Mishulam.
Marconi was also relieved about this situation. Unlike the Rubach Chamber of Commerce, which was limited to Crossbell and was developed as an interest spokesperson because it was sandwiched between the two major countries, it was actually the capital turnover and money laundering department of the West Wind Brigade.
The Broken Wind Bird Chamber of Commerce has its business all over the continent of West Semlia. It is a difficult opponent for the local snake Lubacher Chamber of Commerce. Not to mention that the West Wind Brigade is the home base of Marconi's right-hand man Garcia Rossi.
It's hard to say which side he and his subordinates would take in a real fight.
The game in the underground arena, located deep beneath the Crossbell Arena, is actually divided into two parts.
The first part is led by the Broken Wind Bird Chamber of Commerce and the Lubacher Chamber of Commerce, through their professional agents to sign free fighters for commercial and ornamental dark fighting matches.
In the ring, a fighter used various skills to beat his opponent until his body was covered with blood and flesh. The audience in the audience cheered. Even if he could be saved by using guidance magic or recovery medicine, his opponent would probably be saved.
Due to permanent physical or psychological sequelae, he is no longer able to step into the ring.
Under the watchful eye of a large number of Zephyr Hunters, no one has ever died on the spot in the underground arena. At critical moments, the referee who was born as a Hunter Captain will place a wall of earth on the loser's body.
To protect. This is to give Crossbell's judicial department a face, but being beaten to death in the ring happens almost every day.
Because Ling has bribed the autonomous prefecture government, there is no need to pay taxes or various fees for the Dark Fighting Competition. Because of the brutal excitement, many rich people and even people who are not from the Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture are willing to pay high tickets to come and watch the competition. Big Competition
The venue is located next to Crossbell Station. Even ordinary people can walk here from the station hall in just ten minutes. More importantly, the Dark Tournament allows various forms of gambling. Although there are
Gambling is allowed in most commercial competitions, whether it is equestrian, tennis or cricket matches, but the dark fighting games located in the underground arena are the most thorough without any restrictions.
The most basic job of the professional brokers of the two chambers of commerce is to promote gladiator competitions through intermediary business. It is not limited to the Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture. It can even be said that there are very few locals from Crossbell among the fighters. The fighting ability of the Crosby people
It’s really not enough to watch…
Professional brokers will contact intelligence dealers in various places to find the warriors they like. The Erebonia Empire, the Republic of Kalvard, the Kingdom of Liber, the Principality of Remifilia, and even the Leman Autonomous Prefecture or Oder
Lei Autonomous Prefecture... As long as the opponent is willing to come, anyone can become a fighter. The high bonus is the most original motivation for fighters to participate in the dark fighting competition. As long as they win several consecutive games, the fighter will quickly become rich. Relatively speaking,
It is said that the threshold for signing a contract with a professional agent from the Broken Wind Bird Chamber of Commerce is higher, while the threshold for signing a contract with the Lubacher Chamber of Commerce is lower.
Therefore, the combatants in the Dark Fighting Tournament are actually divided into three levels: Class A, Class B and Class C.
Fighters contracted by the Lubach Chamber of Commerce start in Class C, and can be promoted to Class B after winning three games. After accumulating ten wins, they can be promoted to Class A.
The fighters contracted by the Broken Wind Bird Chamber of Commerce are in the second level at the beginning, and they are also promoted to the first level after accumulating ten wins.
In principle, the competition will only be held in the same level. Class C will not be arranged to compete with Class A or Class B. Such a game is not interesting at all and the audience will not be happy. And strong people will be promoted quickly.
Go to a higher level and fight with stronger ones.
By the way, the condition for obtaining the title of "Boxing Champion" is not ten cumulative wins, but ten consecutive wins. Therefore, the difficulty is much higher. "Boxing Champion" must be Class A, but Class A is not necessarily "Class A"
"Boxing King", even if you don't use fists and use kicking skills, you are still called "Boxing King". However, this is the title of a strong person who will appear in the future. At present, no one can get this honor.
According to the rules, the same fighter can only arrange a maximum of one match within seven consecutive days, so it has only been more than a month since the beginning, and the strongest underground fighter has only won four consecutive victories.
The second part is a place for enterprises to negotiate and resolve issues.
Even Lawyer Ian, who is proficient in the legal affairs of enterprises and traders, cannot solve all economic disputes. Some problems that cannot be solved peacefully in business competition, or that are too costly to solve, are put here.
conduct.
The person who originally proposed this idea was not Ling, but Miss Gui, a director of the Urnu Society from the Republic of Kalvad. After watching the Dark Fighting Competition as an audience, she approached the Wind-breaking Bird Chamber of Commerce and passed the
Leonidas's channel conveyed this meaning to Ling's ears.
In the Republic of Kalvad, business disputes have always been resolved with fists, but in fact large-scale fights are not a good thing for the development of the enterprise itself. Not only is it a waste of manpower and material resources, it sometimes even alerts the local police.
And guerrillas, the company's reputation is not very good. To put it bluntly, it is inefficient and costly. So, only one person at a time "duel" on a specific occasion, although the problem is still solved with fists, it is almost impossible
What impact does it have on society?
After Ling knew Miss Gui's idea, she quickly thought of the operating model of the "Boxing Wish Club", and a commercial fighting tournament independent of the Dark Fighting Tournament came into being. When Ling met with Miss Gui last week, she started from
I received a lot of useful advice from her.
The first week was a trial operation. It was just a very loose competition format. It largely referred to the various rules of the Dark Fighting Competition that were already on track. But in fact, the rules were suitable and reasonable for free fighters and for enterprises.
It may not be appropriate to represent a fighter. What Ling came to discuss with Ian was the issue of improving the subsequent rules of the commercial fighting competition.
The membership qualifications for commercial fighting competitions are divided into two levels. Strong enterprises do not need any admission fee, and they automatically have all the members' strength even if they do not come to compete. Ordinary enterprises need to pay an admission fee of 10 million Mila.
Only then can arbitration be conducted in this venue for resolving corporate disputes.
How to divide strong enterprises from ordinary enterprises is a new problem. Ling plans to directly use the ranking method to set the top fifty enterprises on the West Semilia continent as strong enterprises.
So last week when Crossbell founded the festival, he commissioned lawyer Ian to conduct a rough investigation of various well-known companies on the continent of Samlia.
Although Ling will pay a large sum of Mira to the Grimwood Law Firm as investigation fees, in fact Ian is not doing it for Mira, but as a friend he has made for many years to help her. He knows astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom.
Ling, who has a wide range of interests in politics, strategy and economy, is also a good communication partner for Ian. After learning that Ling was a participant in the Bi-Zero project, not from Dita, but from Maria Bell, Ling and Yi
An is a comrade who works hard for the same goal. At least in Ian's eyes, that's the case.
I took the survey book handed over by Ian, which has been ranked according to the capital, financial resources and social influence of the company. Not only the number of Mira owned by the company, but also the influence on the national and international situation is ranked in this ranking.
It occupies a greater weight. Some companies are not companies on the surface, but they actually conduct business operations or transactions, so they are also taken into consideration.
No.1 is the Epstein Consortium from the Leman Autonomous Prefecture. It is not the richest company, nor the most powerful company, but it is the most influential company. The love that dominates the entire leadership revolution
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the Pustein Consortium has been the protagonist of the entire continent of Samria in the past half century.
No.2 is Crossbell International Bank (ibc) of Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture. In addition to being the richest, countries also deposit funds in ibc for turnover, which undoubtedly increases its own influence. As long as Dita doesn't go
If something happens, this second-in-command’s position will be secure.
No.3 is the Lineforte Group (rf) of the Erebonia Empire. With the development of force-guiding technology in the empire, Lineforte, as an official arms dealer, is also rising.
No.4 is Urnu Society, a nationality of the Kalvad Republic. It has always been a competitor of Leinfort. Although it has been surpassed by it in recent years, it is still an undoubted giant.
No.5 is the Zeiss Central Factory (zcf) owned by the Kingdom of Liber and its directly controlled airship company. The airship company, which provides scheduled shipping services to the world, has quietly expanded its services to the entire West Semilia.
Continent. There is an airship pad in any big city, and it has become the first choice for international travel for people on the Samlian continent.
No.6 is the Central Bank of the Erebonian Empire (CBE) of the Erebonian Empire. It is the second largest bank in the world after IBC.
No.7 is the Central Bank of the Republic of Calvard (cbk), a nationality of the Republic of Calvard. It is the third largest bank in the world after IBC and CBE. (One of the six major chaebols of Calvard)
No.8 is the Ordis Ship Group of the Erebonian Empire. On the surface, this is not a company, but in fact it is the Lamar State nobles headed by the Kane family who monopolize the trade entrances and exits of the western shipping. Through and
The Eastern Continent conducts ocean trade and imports famous products of the Eastern Continent including tea, which generates huge profits that far exceed the superficial accounts. (ps: Miaojie likes to wear kimonos.jpg)
No.9 is a Black Moon Trading Company nationalized in the Republic of Calvard. As a spokesperson supported by the major factions of Calvard, it has long been separated from the control of the behind-the-scenes factions. There is news that Black Moon even plans to enter Croatia in the near future.

no.21
No. 22 is the Rainbow Group from the Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture. The reason why it is not ranked in the 20th is because its current influence is limited to Kezhou. In fact, it has abundant capital and has an entire floating city as its behind-the-scenes support.

No. 50 is the Rubach Chamber of Commerce in Crossbell. Its business includes smuggling, entertainment, recuperation, and real estate development. If its influence was not limited to Crossbell, the ranking could be higher.
Ling finished reading the information and didn't care that Rainbow Group's ranking was outside the 20s. In fact, she hoped that the ranking would be as low as possible, so that she could make trouble quietly in the future. But now it seems a bit difficult.
Currently, only ten of the top fifty companies have participated in the business competition. Four companies from the Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture and six major chaebols from the Republic of Kalvard have squeezed into the top fifty. Although the companies ranked twenty to five
There are also many companies from the Republic of Kalvard among the ten, but they did not participate in last week's business competition. And there are only fifteen small companies with slightly lower capital like Goblin Technology. Currently, there are only fifteen companies in total.
Generally speaking, the number of members in the business fighting competition is still very small. Ling entrusted lawyer Ian to send invitation letters to the remaining forty powerful companies on the rankings. Of course, not through the ways on the table, but through the ways in the outside world.
.By the way, you can also randomly select some small and medium-sized enterprises and send them invitation letters to reduce their entrance fees. This will make the business competition more active.
Next comes the question of representing the fighters.
According to the rules of the game that Ling initially discussed with Ms. Gui, a company can have multiple fighters as representative fighters to compete.
Companies train or hire powerful fighters to resolve some disputes that are difficult to solve in business through duels. Of course, serious business confrontations are still necessary. Sometimes losing the game does not mean losing the business.
Unlike contracted free fighters who earn bonuses by fighting in dark fighting tournaments, representative fighters are fighters trained or hired by major companies. Under normal circumstances, extremely powerful fighters are not needed to maintain daily competitions.
Requirements, after all, most of the top 50 companies do not overlap in their business fields, so it is not a problem. It is enough to be able to crush other small businesses. But when encountering special circumstances, it is necessary to compete with other large companies such as Lineforte Group.
When going to Urnushe (if this happens in the future), all major companies will do their best to find powerful fighters that they would not normally use, whether they focus on cultivating a strong stock or hire foreign aid or even just temporary support.
It is possible to find legendary strong men, so the intensity of players in this top-level competition is much higher than that of normal commercial fighting competitions.
The Killing Bear Garcia Rossi is the sales director of the Wind-breaking Bird Chamber of Commerce and part-time chief representative fighter, and the chief representative fighter of the Wind-breaking Bird Chamber of Commerce is Leonidas the Destruction Beast. But they usually don't play games. The same is true for previous ordinary games.
Their respective younger brothers will come forward.
The strength of regular fighters is enough to cope with daily competitions, but they are unable to compete with corporate background. Therefore, if a serious trade dispute really occurs, powerful companies will need to interview representative fighters for decisive battles. Not to mention that there are currently no
The Okuden-level (a-level combat power) that has never appeared in the two fighting games may even appear in the master-level. For a powerful company with a long history and profound foundation, this is not impossible.
Ling is full of expectations for this kind of scene where she can closely observe the essence of the major schools competing against each other. Using others as a mirror and learning from each other's strengths will also be of great benefit to her own practice as a martial artist.
