"Therefore, I have already considered that we can have large-scale cooperation in the textile and leather industries."
"I'd like to hear the details," the godfather said, looking at Xia Lin with a puzzled expression. They had reached an agreement on wine, but textiles and leather were really not within their business scope.
"I've discovered that your fashion design skills are outstanding." This is evident from the fact that Little Tiger provided Syracuse with at least 200 million LMD for spending. Syracuse's fashion design skills are indeed very strong, far surpassing Little Deer's, since she is a self-taught designer, while these are professional designers.
“Then we can reach some kind of cooperation in this area…” Goods are divided into two main categories: mass consumer goods and luxury goods. What Lao Xia wants to do is mass consumer goods, which is suitable for Kazdel, a country with a large population and land area.
Syracuse aims to create a luxury product that is suitable for the sparsely populated and land-constrained people of Syracuse as a pillar industry.
"In addition, cooperation in the entertainment industry can be increased. I think the entertainment venues under your control shouldn't mind the spending of Sarkaz people, right?"
“Of course, a guest is a guest. As our saying goes, a guest is God. Who would object to God extending a golden olive branch to you?” The Godfather clearly knew what kind of cooperation Old Xia was referring to.
"However, it cannot involve narcotics and gambling..."
"No problem." If you can do legitimate business, who would want to do underworld business? It's just a matter of being forced by the times. The Mafia may seem glamorous to outsiders, but in reality, including the Godfather himself, everyone wants a chance to go legit. However, if they go legit, all the profitable legitimate businesses will already be occupied by others, and those people will have even greater power and be more difficult to deal with.
"Then, we can start by setting up a joint-venture television station..." This was a last resort, because the quality of the artists on Lao Xia's side was too poor—
They're either brutes in the army or old farmers. Talulah is knowledgeable about art, but her art is aristocratic, while what Lao Xia needs is popular art that falls somewhere between vulgar and highbrow.
Syracuse is also a place that produces artists, with considerable achievements in dance, music, sculpture and fine arts. Interestingly, Ursus is also an art capital.
Even in the south, the art style of Syracuse tends to be characterized by its passion, vigor, and combination of boldness and delicacy.
Ursus's art, on the other hand, is exceptionally delicate and beautiful, making it seem like something a bunch of Kumas could never create.
The Russians' artistic style is completely different from their national style. In fact, this group of people are highly developed in mathematics and art.
In other words, they appear to be a group of rough people, but are actually incredibly meticulous; however, for some reason, they are remarkably crude in economic and social matters.
"Oh, how are you planning to collaborate? And what about that television you mentioned earlier... what is it?"
Terra has radio, movies, and TV channels similar to those in places like Londo.
However, there isn't a truly systematic television station yet. Johnny Boy has complained about this issue many times, but Lao Xia has been busy doing serious work.
Now, a television station is undoubtedly necessary before the big battle begins; it's a propaganda stronghold, and if you don't occupy it, someone else will.
[PS]
The previous question.
In question A, Pa and Pb are both non-empty subsets of set P, and because of time T, they are based on a mapping relationship of t.
Therefore, if Pb is true, then Pa is a false proposition based on the mapping condition T, rather than being unfalsifiable.
This is a bit complicated to explain and requires some understanding of incompleteness.
In other words, if we assume a proposition A = "Proposition Pa is neither falsifiable nor provable", then proposition A can be proven false based on the mapping condition t. That is, Pa is provable, but the proof condition is not sufficient.
In other words, if Pa is true, it proves that Pb is true, but if Pb is true, it does not necessarily prove that Pa is true.
Question B:
It is neither a sufficient nor a necessary condition, nor is it unprovable or unfalsifiable;
Because if set S is true, subset P must also be true; but if subset P is true, set S is not necessarily true. The relationship between set S and subset P is a necessary but not sufficient relationship.
The relationship between other subsets of set S and subset P is neither sufficient nor necessary, but it is not unprovable.
Chapter 42 is titled "Happy Little Wildcat".
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
While Xia Lin and the godfather were discussing art and television, on the other side;
"Uh..." The pregnancy test showed two clear lines. Swire, not believing it, tried several different tests, even using local brands.
However, they were all the same: two red vertical lines, which unequivocally and without any frills proved one thing: she was indeed pregnant.
"Ahhh!" Big Cat rolled around on the bed. "Why did I get pregnant after only one month? I don't want to be a mother so soon!" She was just a teenage girl in the prime of her life, and suddenly she was told that she was going to be a mother.
The thought of the pain of childbirth, the headaches of caring for the baby after giving birth, and how married women are worn out and ruined by human offspring, the most terrifying animals in nature, plunged Swire into a state of inexplicable fear and despair.
This is normal. Medically, this state of mind is usually called "prenatal depression." Half of it comes from physiological changes, namely, the hormones and endocrine substances released by the fetus and embryo during development in an attempt to control the mother's endocrine system in order to obtain the maximum amount of nutrients for themselves, which can cause the mother to become depressed, sensitive, and irritable.
Half of it is a social or psychological issue. After all, being hit so hard without any psychological preparation or planning for pregnancy can leave you completely numb.
"Why are you in there?!" As soon as he entered, Old Xia was grabbed by the collar by a large cat. Swire wasn't very tall, but with her long, straight hair, she looked like a giant golden cat. "Are all men like this, only thinking of themselves?!"
"Don't you enjoy it too?"
"I don't care, it's all your fault!" The advantage of women is that they can be unreasonable in this situation, and no one will say no or that it's wrong.
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault, so I didn't say I wouldn't take responsibility. Wait, we're married, I've already taken responsibility."
"You mean since they've already been caught, killing a couple more won't hurt?" Little Tiger narrowed his eyes, his former cop keenly spotting the flaw in his argument.
"So, it's my fault. What are you going to do? Abort it?" With a move of feigned retreat, the little tiger was cornered against the wall, and he was completely out of sorts.
To abort? This is a difficult, even impossible, decision for an expectant mother, especially if she is already married and doing well, and there are no changes in her relationship or family life.
This is not just a psychological issue. It also includes the stimulation caused by the developing embryo continuously releasing large amounts of hormones into the mother's arterial blood through capillaries. This greatly stimulates the mother's estrogen and instincts, making her more sensitive and vulnerable, indecisive, and unable to make the decision to abort or give up the pregnancy.
"Then just give birth to it."
"It's so uncomfortable!" Swire didn't want to have an abortion, but the thought of the pain during pregnancy made her feel numb.
Especially in Kazdel, where there are already many births, the Sarkaz women are terrified and shrink back because of how quickly they become middle-aged women due to the burden of childbirth, and because of the monthly miscarriages or even the death of both mother and child due to not going to the hospital for delivery.
And it's not just about pregnancy itself, but also about what the baby will look like after birth. Just thinking about feeding, soothing the baby, changing diapers and all that other stuff makes me feel anxious and helpless.
"Alright, alright, stop overthinking!" Old Xia hugged her. "Once it develops to a certain stage, it can be surgically removed for external development, like an artificial uterus. You've already seen it."
This technology was developed by the Covenant to address maternal fear. After all, even with symbiotes to reduce pain, the terrifying sensations during pregnancy can still frighten many natural women.
Therefore, removing a fetus that has developed a fetal heartbeat and has a certain self-circulation ability to complete the rest of the pregnancy process is very popular among natural women.
On the contrary, the young women prefer to give birth themselves and experience this completely unfamiliar feeling.
Although they are not affected by fetal hormones, during the pregnancy process, their connection with the fetus is strengthened, and they have a stronger feeling of "this is my offspring".
Therefore, the Covenant has two technologies: one is to transfer a fetus with a heartbeat to an artificial uterus for further development, and the other is to transfer a well-developed embryo into the body of an AI to continue its gestation.
The latter is more difficult, which means that the routine for surgery is to wait in line, and the last one in the line once had a wait of 35 years. Of course, it is also possible that technological advancements or increased production have shortened the waiting time.
"Is...is it possible to do this?" Swire looked shocked. "Haven't you already seen it?" Xia Lin scratched his head. That's how the one W took in and raised developed.
"However, what I want to say is that although they can develop in the incubation equipment until their brains are almost fully developed before leaving the jar, or even after weaning."
However, that would result in a very weak connection and a lack of affection with one's parents. Therefore, even for the sake of a good mother-child relationship, it's best if you raise the child yourself, rather than taking the easy way out by putting them in a jar.
The Star Alliance also advocates this kind of parenting rather than social parenting, because for young children, establishing a connection with their parents is an important part of their education, growth, and even personality development, and social parenting cannot replace this connection.
Communication and interaction between infants and parents are important ways to establish parent-child relationships and infants' personality and emotions. To put it bluntly, even the personality development of an AI needs to be continuously interacted with and corrected by a professional testing and adjustment team during the birthing process to develop fully—let alone a living, breathing natural person.
"In short, it's all because of the pot you filled up every day, I don't want it anymore!"
“You said it yourself! Don’t swear every morning you’ll never do it again, but every night it’s ‘I want it, I want it!’ I’m going to record that!”
Paying grain taxes was a huge burden for Lao Xia, you know. I don't know if it's because of the tiger's genes, but these animals seem to ejaculate over three hundred times during a single mating. So, once night falls, it's a completely different story.
"You dare to record this!" If she really does record it, she'll be completely socially dead. If the recording gets leaked, she'll probably have no choice but to hang herself.
In short, after barely managing to appease Swire, Lao Xia finally had time to talk about the TV station, which was actually nothing much.
Before a battle, it is natural to need a voice and channel for external communication, and television stations are one such channel.
Moreover, the export of entertainment and tourism industries is also a good thing for Syracuse. After all, during the Great Depression, cheap entertainment and inexpensive small commodities sell very quickly, which is known as the "lipstick effect".
For this reason, literary works, newspapers, and entertainment literature sell like hotcakes, which in itself can be a subtle means of cultural export, including television, just as for the Kasimir people, knightly games and related entertainment are their only form of mass entertainment.
How could this be allowed? How could Xia Lin let the people of Terra continue to spend their nights doing nothing? Even if he wanted to, his kidneys wouldn't allow it!
As for the PhD, he was even less opposed. Why?
He initially opposed it, arguing that it would hinder population growth and that diverting resources to the entertainment industry would be completely pointless.
So, Old Xia gave him and Kal'tsit each a small gift, and then the Doctor took leave the next day.
On the third day, he became a staunch supporter of Xia, firmly believing that the nightlife of the people of Terra was too boring, and that destroying women's bodies and labor force in order to increase the population was putting the cart before the horse.
The new opponent became Dr. Kal'tsit, while Dr. Warfarin, the only one who saw through the truth, remained silent and always dealt with Skadi and Mudrock's confusion with a mysterious attitude. "You wouldn't understand this kind of thing, well, but you should have a chance to understand. My personal suggestion is that you should stand on the Doctor's side."
As Rhodes Island's only gynecological expert (two-thirds of the island's population is female), Warfarin made an astonishing judgment: if these two got married, without some nightlife and entertainment to share the burden, they would both become widows sooner or later.
Look at her figure, those thighs, those muscles, those exaggerated pectoral muscles. She'd probably be married for the first day and have to attend her husband's funeral the next morning. Especially the little killer whale, it'll die, it really will die!
"What are you planning to focus on?" Swire asked after thinking for a moment. "Music? Opera? Or something else? Painting and literature don't seem to be very suitable for television broadcast."
Terra's television programming mainly consists of talk shows and news programs, with entertainment programs limited to a few music programs, operas, and theatrical performances. Movies have also been invented.
However, film companies control the film sources, and what is shown on television is all free content, which is of poor quality and limited in quantity.
Therefore, Terrans prefer to go to the cinema to watch movies, and because television stations are mainly non-entertainment professional institutions established by the regime.
Therefore, they did not develop advertising as a clever way to sustain operations, and they had no money to buy content.
The main reasons are twofold: "TVs are too expensive, I'm going to smash this consumer product onto the floor!" But how do I smash it onto the floor?
That would be to build a spectacular super TV wall outside the headquarters building of Longmen, making the entire headquarters plaza the new commercial hub of Longmen, a truly prime super commercial district, just like Times Square in New York.
"Secondly, the cost of broadcasting on television is too high, and advertising and ordinary operations cannot recoup the costs."
Swire knew, of course, that Lungmen's television station was a money-losing business, and even Kazimierz's television station was a money-losing business, even though the latter was very close to being a de facto entertainment channel.
Ultimately, broadcasting and filming equipment are all Originium devices, requiring professionally trained casters to operate, human film supply and directing, plus human broadcasting personnel. It would be a miracle if the cost could be reduced.
"However, we are prepared to broadcast television programs in other ways, and incidentally, boost consumption slightly through advertising, so that we don't end up in a world war right after we finish a civil war."
How to save the capitalist economy from crisis? A, wage war; B, open up a new market area.
Old Xia planned to slow down the war by exploring a new market. Otherwise, even if Kazdel won the civil war, it would soon become a victim of a world war.
Don't underestimate this industry. The electronic components needed for televisions and synthetic jade materials will give a breather to the basic manufacturing and raw material production industries that are on the verge of collapse.
Terra's lack of entertainment would lead nobles, merchants, and even some wealthy farmers to spare no expense in purchasing television sets. The resulting economic benefits could not only make up for Kazdel's national fiscal expenditures but also effectively serve as a form of cultural and economic export.
"As for the programs, I plan to focus on long-running TV dramas, entertainment variety shows, and movies."
"Movie?"
"Movies are the only form of entertainment that ordinary people can afford in a depressed world."
The allure of using a few Lungmen Dollars to forget the absurdity and despair of the outside world for 90 minutes is unparalleled.
