LOL: Summoner of Goddess Jana

Chapter 247 Swain's Zaun Investigation
The car passed through the construction site and the road under construction, and continued to drive forward.

On the way, Swain thought for a long time and felt quite rich.

Suddenly, he looked at Linlang's shop flashing by on the street, and said to the driver, "Stop."

The car stopped suddenly.Amistan asked puzzledly: "General Swain, what do you want?"

"I want to get out of the car and take a walk." After all came, Swain decided to learn more about Zaun and the leader.

After all, sitting in the car can only be seen by the blind. If you want to know more, you still have to get off the car and talk to the locals sincerely.

"Well, let's have lunch by the way." Swain fixed his gaze on a lively snack bar on the street.There are many guests here, and the atmosphere is lively, which is suitable for chatting with people.

"Okay." Amistan nodded: "Then I'll wait for you in the car, and I won't follow you—you know, I'm a 'celebrity' in Zaun."

As the current biggest reactionary leader in Shuangcheng, her face has been featured in newspapers, and countless people in Zaun are familiar with and loathe her.

If Amistan followed, Swain would not be able to conduct his "new Zaun investigation" in a low-key manner.

So Swain got out of the car alone, leaned on crutches, and walked slowly into the snack bar along the street with trembling steps.

"Oh, sir, please sit down please sit down!"

The acting skills of the chief strategist fooled everyone.

The owner of the snack bar thought that Swain was really a disabled old man with a broken arm who couldn't even walk, so he hurriedly greeted him warmly and helped him into the seat closest to the counter in the store.

Swain sat down, and without him taking the initiative to speak, the talkative snack shop owner fixed his eyes on him—to be precise, he looked at the red-eyed crow on his shoulder.

"Hey, old man, why is there a bird on your shoulder? It looks just like our President Li Wei."

"Haha." At this time, Swain didn't have the tone of an imperial aristocrat, nor did he have the majesty of a famous general, just like a retired old man walking a bird in a cage, blending into these ordinary people in Zaun without any sense of disobedience. among people.

He looked at the crow on his shoulder, and replied with a smile, "It's my pet, I take it with me wherever I go."

"President Li Wei said the same thing when he came last time." The owner of the snack shop said with a smile, "But who would have thought that the blue bird is the incarnation of the goddess Janna!"

"Oh?" Swain could hear the deliberate showing off in the boss's mouth.

He also responded at the right time: "President Li Wei also had dinner here?"

"Of course!" the snack bar owner said proudly: "The last time he came, Zaun was not liberated, and the Leaders Association had just been established. My snack bar is not a shop, but a food stand."

"At that time, President Li Wei came to Zuan to conduct social surveys in person. He was hungry at noon, and happened to pass by my food stall, and smelled the fragrance from our stall."

The boss eloquently told a clichéd food origin story, and also introduced his exclusive specialties to Swain. It is said that Li Wei ate it and applauded the "chairman's magic marsh frog".

In fact, this is an ordinary pickled devil's clawed frog.

But Li Wei has eaten it, and I am afraid that this dish will have to be called "President Demon Marsh Frog" in the future.

"Add a 'guild leader' and you dare to sell a silver wheel, boss, why don't you grab it?" Swain joked.

He had been to the Twin Cities before, and knew the prices in Piltover and Zaun.When did you dare to sell the mutated demon marsh frog fished out of the stinking ditch for a silver wheel?
"Hey, sir, are you from another place?" The boss was not happy: "You see, there are no magic marsh frogs anymore? The smelly gutters have been cleaned up along with the garbage, and now we are all frogs raised by ourselves. You think it's too expensive and I think it's too expensive."

"Also, based on the current salary level in Zaan, is a silver wheel still expensive?"

indeed.

Seeing that the shop was almost full of customers, Swain knew that the boss was not lying.This silver-wheeled demon marsh frog is not a luxury item, it is something even the most ordinary people in Zaun can afford.

Leaders have completed industrial upgrading in a short period of time, and the excess profits brought about by industrial upgrading have raised the average wages of manufacturing workers.The improvement of the consumption power of manufacturing workers has also driven the income of the surrounding service industry personnel, so the people of Zaan have money and can pursue a higher quality of life.In the end, a positive feedback loop is formed.

But this is not worthy of Swain's praise.

Because this set of gameplay was originally left over from Picheng.Not to mention the so-called industrial upgrading of the leader, which was snatched from the Picheng chaebol by force.

Although this made the people of Zaun rich quickly, this not-so-new style of play did not reflect the particularity and superiority of the leader.

"Speaking of which." Swain looked at the owner of the snack bar.

He felt a very familiar feeling from the boss.Well, a shrewd philistine from a small merchant in Piltover.

He did not expect that in Za'an under the rule of the leader, the commercial atmosphere among the people is so strong.

"The leader allows you to do business privately?" Swain asked curiously.

"Of course." The owner of the snack bar: "Why can't we do this small business?"

"But the leaders don't seem to be very friendly to businessmen." Swain tried subtly.

"That's talking about those big Benz families, and we are just self-sufficient small property owners." To Swain's surprise, the owner of the snack bar is also a knowledgeable one.

He explained to Swain seriously: "The leaders protect the small property owners."

Small restaurants, small shops, small handicraft shops, these small production units are the capillaries of the social economy.

If the leader beats them all, more efforts will have to be made to build countless state-run stores to fill the vacancies of these vast and small production units.

But now the leaders do not have so many grassroots cadres with reliable beliefs and strong abilities. With their limited administrative capabilities, it is far from being able to completely replace the role of the market.

So at present, both the market and the small property owners still need to exist.

"But." The owner of the snack bar knows his stuff, and Swain knows his stuff even better.

In order to understand the enemy, he thoroughly familiarized "Janna Thoughts", and pointed out sharply: "In the market environment, as time goes by, small property owners will definitely give birth to big seed benefactors."

It's very simple, who in business doesn't want to become bigger and stronger?
If everyone is allowed to do small business, the winners among these small businessmen will sooner or later make their business bigger and bigger.

Just like the Tallis family, weren't they also small businessmen in the hammer business at the beginning?In the end, meeting such a talented successor as Jess, the Tallis family became a first-class chaebol in Piltover in just a few years.

Jess is a noble character, so the Tallis family naturally earned clean money.

But Jess was going to die sooner or later.The Tallis family, which became a chaebol, will not die.Who can guarantee that after Jess is gone, the Tallis family will not become the same dragon as the Philos family?
This question is unsolvable.

"That's not a problem!" The owner of the snack bar said confidently, "We in Zaan are dominated by leaders—those who want to make their businesses bigger and stronger in Zaan must go through the leaders. Transformation, to accept 'joint venture' in order to continue to do business."

"Joint venture?" Swain was a little curious.

"The so-called joint venture is." It means that the leader holds the shares of the enterprise, but the corresponding production costs of the enterprise are also borne by the leader.

25% of the company's net profit must be handed over to the Zu'an municipal government, the remaining [-]% will be used as a reward for employees, and [-]% to [-]% will be used as a corporate provident fund for employees' retirement benefits.Entrepreneurs and original shareholders, as private individuals, only account for [-]% of the dividends.

"This" Swain understood.

This is a kind of redemption in disguise, a gentle publicization of private enterprises.

Although the proportion of dividends that joint venture owners get is less.But the leader will also bear the production cost and help make the cake bigger. In the end, the cake that the business owners get may not be too small.Therefore, individual entrepreneurs are also motivated to make their business bigger and better.

In this way, while satisfying the small proprietors, it can prevent the private seeds from expanding infinitely, which in turn controls Zaan.

But the problem is
"But in this way, isn't Zaun's big business monopolized in the hands of the leader?"

Isn't it just a government-run enterprise? Swain from the Noxus Empire is too familiar with it.

In his view, this form of enterprise is simply synonymous with rigidity and inefficiency.

Noxus also showed amazing efficiency when it first built government-run enterprises, but it didn't take long for these giant enterprises to be filled with powerful aristocrats and corrupt bureaucrats, so that they were completely lost. Vitality has been reduced to a dung-making machine that devours the tax money of the empire.

"No, you are wrong." The owner of the snack bar said so.

"Is rigidity and inefficiency really only a problem of government-run enterprises? No, in fact, all large enterprises, whether private or public, have this problem."

"There has always been a saying in Piltover that there is a 'big enterprise disease', you must have heard of it, right?"

Having seen the corruption in Noxus, Swain subconsciously believed that private enterprises in Piltover were better than government-run enterprises.

But in fact, any enterprise, especially a private enterprise, is the most authoritarian and feudal place in the world.

The company is owned by the boss alone, and the boss is the emperor of the company.

Managers and executives are nobles attached to the emperor, and employees are soldiers who obey the orders of the nobles.

Therefore, when the company is small in size, in the face of fierce market competition, everyone can unite as one to make the company bigger and stronger.

Once the company grows bigger, there are more people, the management needs are complicated, and the bureaucratic system inside the company matures.
"Immediately all sorts of problems arose."

"This is the same as the problem of government-run enterprises, or even the problems faced by various countries and dynasties in Runeterra. There is no essential difference between the two."

In the final analysis, it is still a question of selfishness and publicity.

How to solve this problem?

Faced with this problem, can private entrepreneurs really do better?
"Do not--"

"From ancient times to the present, and for thousands of years, the only one who can really solve this problem is our God-chosen leader of Janna!"
