People in Terra, governing a weird little country

Although this is the truth, Ernst has to say that Boss Yin, you are exaggerating a bit.

The one held by Casimir is a knight competition special tournament, where a bunch of beautiful, tough, or both beautiful and tough [competitive knights] go on stage to fight for the public's entertainment. It involves Originium skills, close combat, various weapons and equipment, and may even include some off-field factors. The technical content, no matter how you think about it, can't be compared with the [Shelagh Pack Beast Speed ​​Race] that you suddenly organized, right?

Enchiodis scoffed at this:

"In the competition, humans and beasts of burden are essentially the same. They are both commodities. If humans can sell things, why can't beasts of burden sell things?"

"The prize-winning guessing contests outside the venue, the accumulated prize pools, the beast of burden equipment inside the venue, including saddles, ropes, hoofs, and decorative protective gear, as well as the opportunity to spend time with celebrity beasts of burden, these value-added services are essentially the same. Don't let your fixed mindset affect the speed at which we make money."

"Besides, can the spectators of a knight's competition be allowed to feed the knights? Humph, obviously not! But our pack animals can! This is a victory!"

"We have everything they have, and we also have everything they don't have. This is a double win!"

"After retiring, the popularity of competitive knights will plummet. If they fail to earn a pension in advance, they will easily fall into poverty and despair. However, competitive pack animals will not be like this. Even after retirement, they can continue to shine as ordinary pack animals and dedicate their lives to frontline positions! This is the third victory!"

"If a competitive knight encounters an accident, becomes disabled, or suffers casualties, the Knights' Association will be responsible for compensation, which will result in additional expenses. However, if a competitive pack animal encounters such a problem, it can be directly stewed and eaten. This is the fourth victory!"

"When it's cooked, we can sell meal tickets and draw lots to buy the qualification, so that the fans of the competitive beast of burden can eat their idols in person and savor their flavor carefully. This must be an extremely happy thing! This is the fifth victory!"

"Knight competitions require a sense of propriety. Generally speaking, there are rules of when to stop, but beast of burden competitions are different. It is a pure release of natural wildness, enough to make anyone feel excited! This is the sixth victory!"

"........."

"Stop, I said stop!"

Seeing that Enthiotis was about to continue listing, as if he was going to come up with a magical theory that "knights had ten defeats in games and beasts of burden had ten wins", Ernst quickly stopped his fantasy.

He finally realized that this was not a sneak attack by Enthiotis, but he was well prepared!

Pack animal competition? It does sound like something like that. As for whether it is feasible, Ernst is optimistic.

After all, humans are indeed boring, and watching for fun is almost everyone's innate instinct.

Ernst once watched kittens fight for an entire afternoon. Thinking back on it now, it was a painful memory - he was fishing at the time, and two kittens were waiting for him to catch fish, but in the end they ended up leaving the whole afternoon empty-handed. Ernst even suspected that if the kittens hadn't felt that they couldn't beat him, who was so tall and strong, they would have come up and punched him twice.

You're the only one still fishing? Why don't you go down and make a nest!

Ahem, that’s too far off topic.

Under Enchiodis's expectant gaze, Ernst picked up the pen and stamped his official seal on the approval column.

In fact, he could guess to some extent why Enchiodis suddenly wanted to promote a new entertainment project.

There are knight competitions in Casimir, but the knight competitions are not managed by Grand Knight Russell. Whether it is the Casimir Knight Association as the organizer, or the Casimir Business Federation as the investor, their relationship with the Casimir Supervisory Council managed by Russell cannot be said to be as close as a family, but at least it can be said to be a fight.

Although it was unexpected that Russell was canvassing for votes for the 23rd Knights' Tournament that the Chamber of Commerce was about to host at the World Expo, it was also understandable. He realized that if he continued in this way, the Supervisory Council would inevitably be outlasted by the Chamber of Commerce and would sooner or later be swept into the dustbin of history. Therefore, he was forced to make the "change" move in an attempt to forcibly take a piece of the pie.

As for Enchiodis, he probably wanted to replicate the Federation of Commerce.

Although Ernst didn't think he could succeed. The reason why the Commercial Union could develop to the point it is today is because of the national conditions of Casimir. The original feudal knight aristocracy was attacked by Ursus ten times in a row in the era when it was most likely to undergo changes and transform into bourgeois aristocrats. External pressure cut off the road to change for the Casimir knights, which gave the merchants of the Commercial Union, who were also the stewards and grooms of those knights, the opportunity to transform themselves and overtake others.

But Kjerag doesn't have that condition now. Even without talking about how Terra's international environment will change after the World Expo and the upcoming World Summit, Kalan Trade can't find any allies domestically.

The heart of Enthiotis is known to everyone.

But Ernst is no pushover. Having lived in a country where the government has absolute supremacy over business for so many years, who better than him to know how to curb these little tricks?

An emperor who can approve something is a good emperor. Only when you have a firm grasp of the highest decision-making power and what you say is effective can people listen to you.

Of course, putting aside these "Brother, you are so rebellious" things, Enxioudis really knows how to make money. Some of the things he just proposed were things that Ernst had never thought of, and they could be operated in this way.

Sure enough, the government is in need of street lamp ornaments like you... ahem, it is in need of business talents like you. Unfortunately, Boss Yin is stubborn and Ernst can't persuade him. After some consideration, Ernst picked someone out:

"Brother?"

Enchiodis took a step back, with a look of obvious discomfort on his face, and said with a grin:

"Don't use such a disgusting tone all of a sudden, just say what you want to say!"

"Nothing, nothing. What else can your dear brother ask of me?" Ernst said with a smile. "I just want to say that this matter should be left to Xinteleya to take charge of the government, right?"

Xinteleya also came from Casimir and had experience as a competitive knight. Although she didn't make a name for herself in the end, she was at least a serious insider in the industry. She was indeed the best person to be in charge of coordinating and communicating this matter.

But Enciodis frowned, realizing something:

"What do you mean, the government? This is a commercial act, Kalan Trade should be responsible for it!"

Ernst did not argue with him about the government doing business, state-owned enterprises, supervision and other such general principles. He simply said:

"Let's make money together."

"No." Enthiotis refused.

Ernst spread his hands and said, "Then I won't help you advertise."

Enchiodis smiled with some disdain: "Haha, can't I fight myself?"

Ernst said nothing, just stared at him, and the meaning was very clear - you can try.

If you put up advertisements on the street, I will tear them down. If you put up banners on the wall without permission, I will also remove them. Even if you hang a big flag or put up a display screen outside your Kalan Trade Headquarters, I can shut them down every few days for power maintenance.

You little brat, you're going to mess with me?

Your moral bottom line is just a little flexible, but I am a moral vacuum!

"Good brother, let's make money together."

Ernst said again,

"You don't want the beast of burden competition to fail, do you?"

This time, Enthyodis nodded with gritted teeth, like a poor guy who had to give in after being threatened by someone holding a handle:

"it is good!"

Chapter 289 Who is the peak at the end of the cup road? All the demons are gone once they see it!

Xinteleya never thought that she would be able to be connected with her not-so-good hometown in this way.

In the past, she competed in the arena of the Casimir Knight Competition, but now, she has transformed herself and is competing in the arena with the Casimir Knight Competition.

"Why would the boss give me this kind of mission? If he had just given it to the Black Knight, wouldn't he know more than me? He's the Triple Crown Champion."

Xintelaiya muttered to herself, but she showed no intention of stopping the work of fixing her appearance.

"Well, since this is a task assigned by the boss, there is nothing we can do. I will just do it reluctantly."

Looking at herself in the mirror, wearing a slim-fitting suit and trousers, light makeup, and looking like an office lady, Xinteleya patted her face and said to herself,

"Come on, Xinteleya, don't let the boss down!"

She walked out of the room and Mace was already waiting at the door.

The unique three-time champion in the history of Casimir Knights athletics nodded slightly to the junior in front of him, turned around, motioned her to follow, and began to explain to her the purpose of this negotiation.

"Kalan Trade has signed an agreement with Grand Knight Russell. We will hold three exhibition matches of pack animal competitions during the 23rd Special Championship. This negotiation is to discuss the details of the exhibition matches."

"Details? Do beast of burden competitions also require details?" Xinteleya was a little confused.

Mace glanced at her and chuckled coldly, "Haha, of course it is necessary. In Casimir, any competition has some unknown [details] that are determined before the competition begins. I heard from Ernst that you used to be a competitive knight, so you should understand this principle."

Xinteleya nodded awkwardly.

Of course she understood, after all, she was one of the keys to the success of those match-fixing activities.

Being able to control points freely was a big advantage for her, although this advantage didn't help her do well.

In Casimir, one must either be rich or powerful, otherwise one will end up being nothing more than a toy of big business and the Supervisory Commission.

She just didn't react immediately. The "details" in Jian's mouth were the details of the match-fixing.

Besides, does a beast of burden competition require a fake match?

As if seeing Xinteleiya's doubts, Mace answered:

"Of course it is necessary."

"The beast of burden competition that Enthiotis and Ernst want to organize includes three aspects: speed racing, fighting, and beauty pageants. It's a big event. But it hasn't been established yet. Russell is willing to arrange a show match for the beast of burden competition so that we can take advantage of the momentum."

"This is the same reason why she took advantage of the Expo to expand her influence."

"Since it is borrowed, it must be returned."

Since the three exhibition matches were held in Kavaleriaki, the capital of Casimir, it was impossible for all of them to be participated by Kjerag’s beasts of burden. Even a mosquito leg was still meat, and Casimir would definitely play.

They are at home, so they should at least win one game, right?

The purpose is to leverage on other people's popularity, and the best outcome is for everyone to be happy in the end. If one party is embarrassed, the original purpose cannot be achieved.

This is the most basic principle.

What Xinteleya wants to discuss is actually the question of "who wins which game".

Although this negotiation may seem a bit petty, the more details are involved, the more it tests the negotiator's ability. Whether Kjerag wins one or two games, and which one or which two games he wins, these are all questions.

Racing and fighting are definitely much more valuable than beauty pageants, because the standards of beauty pageants will change with the times. Who knows, maybe you like thick tails now, but thin tails in the future.

But in a race, the one who comes first wins, and in a fight, the one who fights to the end wins. This is the simplest rule.

The most ideal result would be that Kjerag wins both events, namely, the sprint and the fighting, and Casimir wins the beauty pageant. This would maximize Kjerag's interests.

Of course, this is ideal. Ernst’s goal for Hintleya is simple: just don’t do the opposite.

Kjerag is a country that has been dealing with beasts of burden for thousands of years. It is somewhat embarrassing to win only a beauty pageant. Perhaps for the development of the beast of burden competition industry, a small win or loss is not a big deal. But national affairs are always trivial, and the same is true for international reputation.

Whether you play well or not has no significant impact on the strength of the country. But it does not prevent us from criticizing the national football team and some players for taking money but not doing anything.

Because there is a term called "national soft power".

It has been fifty or sixty years since the fall of Gaul, but the culture of the Gallic Empire still survives in various parts of the earth. Today's mobile cities are still mostly built based on the model of Lingone, the capital of Gaul.

How can a nation last for thousands of years without extinction? Only poetry and prose remain the same for thousands of years!

Any tradition, culture, or unique thing that is promoted can become a symbol and proof of the continuation of a civilization.

It was rare for Jian to say so much. In the past, Enchiodis should have been responsible for explaining these things. Unfortunately, today a certain Snow Leopard seemed to be very angry with his good brother. He returned to the office without saying a word and kicked her out.

In fact, Mace was fully capable of rushing back to the office and kicking Enthiotis back (physically), but she didn't do it.

Just think of it as giving him a short vacation. He spends all day trying to play tricks on his brother, and he can't even win. He acts like a child, and I don't know what he's trying to achieve.

If I had a brother like this, I would have been able to do whatever I wanted without any worries.

.........

Thinking of this, Jian was suddenly stunned.

Could it be, Enchiodis, that all you want to do is spank your brother's butt with your big tail?

Well, that shouldn’t be the case, otherwise it would be really unlucky to have a brother like you.

and many more!

Jian suddenly stopped, and Xintelaiya behind him bumped into him unexpectedly, feeling a touch on the back of Jian that felt like her own heart.

"what happened?"

Touching her nose, Xinteleya looked into the distance with some surprise, following the suddenly sharp gaze of the mace.

She didn't open the Pegasus Vision. With such a short distance, she didn't need to use that kind of bloodline power. And, to be honest, the three people gathered together were indeed a little too conspicuous.

"He Dalei? And who are those two people?"

Cintrea frowned.

Of course, she knew that Ernst had recruited a new intern teacher. She was a receptionist at the government... No, she was an official receptionist at the government, a prominent figure! She had a good memory and would not forget anyone who had entered Ernst's office, and Hedley was no exception.

[He Dalei] This name should be a pseudonym. Xinteleya has never seen a Sarkaz with this name, because these people have little culture and are not particular about naming. They are usually either kitchen pots, pans, shovels, or 72 kinds of weapons such as swords, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, etc. Although Xinteleya also had doubts about Hedley, considering that Ernst was willing to give Hedley a position, she did not investigate further.

Unexpectedly, I ran into him having a secret meeting with a stranger here?

A blond, burly Sarkaz, and another.......another........

"Woo~"

There were some disbelieving whimpers, and Hinterea covered her mouth.

Me, you, her...how is it possible?

How is this possible? Does this make sense? Does this conform to the laws of biology?

Once, Xinteleya thought that the biggest person was Lola, but after seeing Vina take off her black coat, she realized that it might be Vina. Later, when she saw the true appearance of the triple crown champion, Jian, without his armor, she thought that it might be Jian.

but now........

Who is the peak at the end of the cup road? The path of the demon clan becomes empty once you see it!
