My encyclopedia entry has come true

Chapter 2 Financial Crisis
"Your Excellency, there is something we would like to trouble you with." Akagi Meiya suddenly said to the drunken He Xiao with a very respectful attitude.

"Speak! Just say! You are satisfied!" He Xiao looked like a wealthy landlord.

"Excuse me, sir, when will you pay us the salary you owe us?"

"Pfft... I owe you wages?!!!!" He Xiao suddenly came to his senses, and looked at the butler, Old Peter.

He was really surprised that his majestic duke would default on the salary of the maid? ? ?

He has counted, except for himself, there are only 5 people in the Duke's Mansion, and they still owe wages. How poor is this!
"Your Excellency, this is indeed the case. In addition, you also owe me my salary. In fact, you have a personal debt of 452 million pounds. In addition, the Administration has a financial deficit of 2200 million pounds." The housekeeper, old Peter, was polite. said.

"..."

He Xiao was completely speechless. He thought that becoming the duke would allow him to lie down completely and indulge in drinking and sex every day. Unexpectedly, he owed millions and had a financial deficit of tens of millions!
wrong!

It suddenly occurred to him that he once wrote in Wikipedia that "the island is located in a remote area and its economy is relatively backward. A large amount of daily necessities need to be imported, and the prices are high. Tourism income is far from enough to make up for the trade deficit!"

Gan!It turned out that the culprit was himself!What a cheapie!Why do you write it like this!
If I wrote "The island is economically developed, known as a small star in the Pacific Ocean, has the world's top ten offshore oil fields, and is also a global offshore financial center, the Duke's private wealth is 5000 billion pounds", then there will be no such troubles!
But if you really want to write it like this, it is estimated that the three indicators will not be achieved, and it will not come true.

It is not an easy task to have more than 98 people read it and have a trust rate of over [-]%.

There is a high probability that they will not even pass the dimensional audit, because it is impossible for them not to have heard of such a developed place where the richest man in the world is hidden.

It seems that editing new entries in the future should be conservative and not too exaggerated. Too much exaggeration will easily lead to a low trust rate and the task cannot be completed.

For example, if he edits an encyclopedia entry of [Umbrella Technology Company], and then writes that the company is privately owned by him, has alien technology, and is the most powerful black technology company on Blue Star, such an entry, There must be a small number of people who believe, and it is impossible to achieve such a high trust rate of 98%, so it cannot be true.

……

Ever since He Xiao went abroad through the formalities of suspending his studies, his WeChat has been on the verge of explosion.

There are at least hundreds of private messages every day, and many people @ him in class groups and fellow villagers.

The phone and video calls kept ringing, so he turned on Do Not Disturb.

Because he was too busy, and there were too many messages, it was difficult to reply, so except for his parents and family members, he didn't reply at all, and he didn't even look at it.

As for his parents, they probably don't know about his son's succession to the duke title, and the media hasn't found them yet.

Now that he had time, he decided to take a look, so that his former classmates could not think that he would ignore others when he was developed.

When the news spread, it was not good for Duke Hawke's image.

The first is roommate Chen Bainian.

"Xiaozi! Xiaozi! Why didn't you answer your phone call? Are you really going to inherit the title of duke? It's out of line!"

"Why don't you answer me, you guy, are you afraid that I will ask you to borrow money? I'm not that kind of person!"

"I read the news on the Internet, it should be true! I didn't expect you to be a hidden nobleman! I'm really envious! I'm going to take my sister to play with you during the summer vacation. It's not too much for you to entertain us as VIPs. !"

"Did you know! Little Khan, the up master of my favorite barrage station, has been updated! The Fantastic Family series! It’s about the Hawk family! Come on! You’re so proud of yourself! After watching so many episodes, I didn’t expect that The magical family is actually by my side!"

He Xiao clicked on the video link first, went in and took a look, he was really a little Khan...

The title of this issue is: Miracle Family 112, how the people of Dongzhou inherited the dukedom of Xizhou in the Eastern Ocean...

Accompanied by the familiar Little Khan March...the taste is right.

After watching the entire content of the video, he felt that Little Khan was really different from those marketing accounts. In some marketing accounts, the Hawke family has become a mysterious family comparable to the Rod Childs family and the Dupont family...

As for Little Khan’s video, at least the content is relatively textual, and it’s not entirely from the Dimension Encyclopedia edited by He Xiao himself, but also includes some unpopular physical books, such as "Hawk’s Family History", "The Duke of Xizhou on the Eastern Ocean" , "Prussia's Pacific Colonial History", etc...

In fact, these books were originally fabricated by He Xiao in order to increase the credibility. As the source of information on Dimension Encyclopedia, they are not real books, but obviously, after the change of the world line, these books have become real books. So Little Khan was able to find them in the library.

After watching the video, He Xiao replied to his roommate Chen Bainian: "I'm sorry, I've been really busy these days."

"No problem, if you come, you will definitely be treated as a VIP, but you must bring reliable people, not too many people, and don't make a fuss, don't disclose my information to the outside world, I don't want to be too high-profile."

He Xiao also replied to the other friends one by one, but they were only polite replies without revealing any information.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine, I'm too busy to reply in time, please forgive me."

Then he saw the message from Lin Yishu, the goddess of the college: "Hi, student He, I heard some news about you, I don't know if it's true, I'd like to ask for confirmation, of course, if it's inconvenient, you don't have to answer."

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine, I'm too busy to reply in time, please forgive me."

He Xiao made another copy and returned it to her.

He checked the Internet again, and found that he is already a little famous on the domestic Internet, but he has not yet reached the point of being a household name.

Since the old Peter asked the school to cooperate in keeping it secret, the school was worried about diplomatic incidents and dared not neglect it. It has been refusing to respond, refusing to accept interviews, and asked some students in the know to keep him secret. Therefore, most netizens do not know his real name, let alone dig out his family background.

That's fine, if you become too famous, it will be inconvenient to make up new entries about yourself in the future, so you should keep a sense of mystery.

……

On the other hand, after He Xiao had a long talk with the old butler Peter, he had a deep understanding of the Duke of Hawke's territory and his own economic situation.

If not bad, then very bad.

He, the Duke of Hawke, is actually a relatively high-profile village head, and he does not have very exaggerated power. After all, it is already the 22nd century. It is impossible to have the power of life and death like the nobles in the Middle Ages. The right to execute the night for all girls in the legendary territory.

So neither the old butler Peter nor the two maids are real servants, but more like staff or housekeeping staff hired to maintain the duke's dignity...

However, the Duke's mansion is quite prestigious. At any rate, it is a villa, covering an area of ​​20 acres, with 2 dedicated cleaners.

Not far from the duke's mansion is the administration office of the dukedom, which is the real administrative department of the dominion. There are 10 public officials in it, namely the administrative commissioner, financial commissioner, tourism commissioner, etiquette commissioner, and 6 security officers.

Among them, the administrative commissioner has the greatest real power, and the butler, Peter, is also in charge.

It's almost like a village committee, the Duke himself is basically the village head, and old Peter is the executive deputy village head.

After all, it is only a small place with a population of 800, and some villages in Dongguo have a population of more than 1...

These are not set by him in the Dimension Encyclopedia. They should be automatically completed according to the current world background when the world line changes.

If I knew it earlier, I would have written it in detail, such as writing the right to execute the night...

But it seems that this will reduce the trust rate...

The income of the duke's mansion and the administration are separate.

To put it bluntly, the former is the Duke's private treasury, while the latter is equivalent to the national treasury.

The main source of the annual income of the two is the same, there are three types, one is tourism income, that is, ticket money, the other is the tax and dividends of the coconut company, and the third is the tax and dividends of the fishery company.

It’s just that the ratio is different. The annual income of the Duke’s Mansion is only 24 Pounds, while the annual income of the Administration Office is 220 million Pounds.

It sounds like a lot, but in fact both sides are seriously unable to make ends meet.

The Duke’s mansion is about ostentation. Five servants have to pay 5 Pounds a year for their annual wages. In addition to going abroad to hold parties and make friends, 8 yuan is not enough to spend. The old duke is even worse He was also deceived by a profiteer in the Kangaroo Country, and borrowed money to invest in a spicy chicken project. He lost all his money, and now the Duke himself has to repay a debt of 24 pounds per year...

No wonder the wages of the servants cannot be paid.

The administrative office is not much better. Although the income is 220 million pounds, there are too many expenses every year. Residents need to eat, drink fresh water, go to school, see a doctor, and maintain the road around the island. , the tourist airport needs to be maintained...

It all costs money...

The old duke is obviously not a good manager, and he has a good face, which leads to a deficit of 100-200 million every year. Now it has accumulated to more than 2000 million...

Basically on the verge of bankruptcy.

No wonder I took over the duke title so easily, it turned out to be a mess!

Sounds reasonable.

It should be that when the world line changes, the system refers to the current world background and tries to justify itself as much as possible, so that the world will not have serious logic bugs and will not deviate too much from the original world.
