The auction lasted for five days. On the same day, the world's major media rushed to report the news of the Jade King, and their reports attracted the world's rich. The price of jade continued to rise. Finally, all the raw jade stones were auctioned, and the transaction volume reached 12.3 billion euros. One of the kings even won a raw stone of 5 billion euros.
With a huge amount of wealth in his account, Li Yin waved his sleeves without leaving any clouds behind. The rest of the trouble was handed over to Yang Suxin. In the future, this girl was destined to be accompanied by the spotlight of the media.
In order to express his apology to Yang Suxin, Li Yin gave her 10% of the shares of the Great Tang Auction House and let the father and daughter control 30% of the shares of the auction house. It was the price for making her take the blame.
With this sum of money, Li Yin's imagination started to run wild. Should he buy a few aircraft carriers to return to the Tang Dynasty? He couldn't help but fantasize about it. However, he understood that this was impossible. He had the money to buy them, but the key was who would sell them?
If he couldn't buy an aircraft carrier, he could consider other options. With this money, he could gradually help the Great Tang achieve its goal of industrialisation.
He went to the commercial street to retrieve his custom-made mechanical watch. When Yang Suxin was being chased by the media, Li Yin disappeared from China.
The staff of Shengtang News Agency was initially decided, but these people were still ignorant of the concept of newspapers. Li Yin had no choice but to train these people again.
"The newspaper focuses on the collection of information. If there's no eye-catching information, how can it be called a newspaper? So, wherever there's an earthquake or a flood, we have to grasp this information immediately!”Li Yin faced more than ten employees and spat.
"But how do we collect this information?”Wang Zheng asked. After these few days of training, Li Yin realized that he was really a good student who was good at asking questions.
"You can spend money to buy it, you can send people to inquire about it, you can also find out from the officials. In short, you can use any method you can.”At this moment, Li Yin suddenly felt that he was especially like the head of intelligence who was commanding these people to gather information.
" Intelligence department." Li Yin thought. He needed all kinds of information to run a newspaper, and to understand this information, he needed a specialized department to gather it. Should he take the opportunity to create an intelligence agency in the guise of a newspaper? Once this agency was created, he would have an eye to monitor the Great Tang and be able to avoid danger in time.
At the thought of this, Li Yin stopped." Of course, collecting information is the reporter's job. You only need to be responsible for publishing and writing articles. That's all for today. You can go back first!”
After the others left, only Su Mo 'er and Li Yin were left in the room. The Prince's Residence was currently in dire need of talents. His brothers would eventually become officials in the court and would not be of any use to him. The only people he could trust now were the old men in the Prince's Residence.
"Mo 'er, there's something this king wants to discuss with you!”After hesitating for a moment, Li Yin said.
Su Mo 'er felt that Li Yin's expression was a little strange and said,"Your Highness, please speak!"
" I have a very important task for you. You have to personally form the reporter team for the Sheng Tang Business Daily, and you have to personally select those reporters..." Li Yin told him his idea.
" Your Highness, isn't this…!" Su Mo 'er did not dare to continue.
"That's right. This is an intelligence agency. Do you dare to take over?"”
"I dare!" Su Mo 'er said without hesitation.
Her father had died of depression after being demoted, her mother had starved to death on the streets, and there had been no news of her sister. All the hardships she had suffered had condensed into a strong heart under Su Mo 'er's gentle appearance. She only hated herself for being a woman and not being able to enter the court as an official like a man. Now that Li Yin had given her such an organization, it was enough to prove Li Yin's trust in her. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In the past, she had worked hard to show her ability so that Li Yin would value her. She was really afraid of living on the streets again and becoming a commodity in the eyes of others. Now, once she took over this intelligence department, Li Yin would never be able to leave her.
Su Mo 'er's straightforward answer surprised Li Yin. Looking at Su Mo' er's thin body, he began to doubt whether his decision was correct.
"In that case, I'll apply for a certificate of legal intelligence gathering for you!”Li Yin said. This time, he had to find Li Shimin again.
"A legal proof!" Su Mo 'er's eyes widened.
"Of course. Remember, you are in charge of the reporters!”
Su Mo 'er nodded and smiled,"Yes, Your Highness. We are reporters!"”
In Taiji Palace, Li Yin entered the Dew Hall after Wang Gui's report. Li Shimin and Li Yin had met more than a year in the past few days. Li Shimin's attitude towards him had softened a lot. He no longer raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes at him.
"Imperial Father, your son has a request!"
When Li Yin saw Li Shimin, he was reviewing memorials six and a half times out of seven times. It could be seen that it was not easy to be an emperor for thousands of years.
"What is it?" Li Shiming said with a very busy expression.
"Father, your son's Shengtang Business Daily has already been established. The only thing missing is the collection of newspaper information.”
"Didn't you say that there were reporters gathering information?”
"That's right. However, Father, you're a righteous person, but some court officials might not think so. If some reports hinder their interests, what if he doesn't cooperate with the newspaper reporters and even takes revenge?”
Li Shi Min stopped writing after hearing Li Yin's words. He said,""This is indeed a problem. The newspaper is a tool to supervise fishing vessels. It must have some privileges to ensure its fairness!”
"Yes, Imperial Father, your son also thinks so. Think about it, if a citizen is bullied by a local official, and they report the situation to the newspaper office, we will send reporters to follow and investigate, but what if the official hinders and hurts the reporters? Then I can't tell you the truth.”Li poured oil on the fire.
Li Shiming pondered for a while and said," How about this? Give each of these reporters a fish talisman that only court officials can wear. Let them have an identity that belongs to the court. Tomorrow morning, I will discuss with the ministers some laws to protect the reporters. What do you think?"”
Li Yin had wanted to discuss with Li Shimin about the matter of protecting journalists, but he did not expect Li Shimin to directly give him a big gift bag. This fish talisman was shaped like a fish and made of copper. It was a token of the identity of an official in the Tang Dynasty. Every time an official went to court, the eunuch would check the fish talisman. Oh right, only then would he be allowed to go.
With this fish talisman, the people in the newspaper office were all officials of the imperial court. The difference was that they were raised by Li Yin. Although it was an honorary title, he was already very satisfied.
