Chapter 362 362. Even the Taiping Cult knows how to analyze market demand and empower customer needs (First Update)
Unlike the peaceful environment of later generations, there is no need to take difficult exams to enter certain organizations.

In this kind of environment where the country has been defeated in the war, its military is restricted, its economy is collapsing, prices are likely to increase by another zero every day, the Engel coefficient has directly reached the 70% mark, and the unemployment rate continues to rise, radical political groups continue to emerge like small mushrooms after a spring rain.

It appears very quickly and it doesn't take too much effort to join.

Often, if the opinions you express in public are consistent with their position, after one or two more contacts, someone will invite you.

Strict screening of those who attempt to join is not something that a small group of less than a hundred people, established less than a year ago, can do.

As for finding out that Mo Hao has a good relationship with a certain noble lady, that would be even better.

After all, political groups also need to attract sponsors, and ideas alone cannot buy bread.

After a few visits, Mo Hao soon became the main speaker of the Technical Workers Association, responsible for giving speeches in beer halls, attracting other people's attention, and soliciting sponsorship.

In modern times, he would be the public relations director.

This identity has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that because of Mo Hao's previous speech, other people in the technical workers' union believe that Mo Hao has the corresponding ability to handle the job well.

As soon as he joined the group, his status was immediately ranked among the top few.

But it is not without disadvantages. As a speaker, in addition to giving speeches, sometimes some wealthy businessmen and nobles will also invite him to banquets.

Firstly, it can add some color to your own banquet. After all, an eloquent speaker can be a good host for the atmosphere of the banquet.

Secondly, it was very simple. Someone planned to invite Xiyue, the upstart who had just inherited the title, so they invited Mo Hao.

If I invite Xiyue directly, she will definitely decline as there is no friendship between them. However, inviting Mo Hao will at least have some reputation.

……

In a corner of the banquet, Mo Hao quietly found a place to eat while thinking about what to say if the rich and nobles talked to him later.

You can't just start with [The inner treasury was burned to ashes, and the bones of the nobles were trampled on the streets] or [The fragrance of incense permeates Chang'an, and the whole city is covered in golden armor], right?

Although it is much easier to break into Chang'an than to pass the entrance exam, if you are not allowed to draw on the drawing paper, then just draw on the map, but Mo Hao still knows what to say when facing different people.

What Zhang Jue shouted to those who could no longer live was "The blue sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established", but what he talked about with noble families, ministers and high-ranking officials was the Huang-Lao school of thought and the art of longevity.

The main focus is to target a specific customer group, analyze market demands, empower customer needs, conduct collaborative training for employees, sort out and reorganize various market preferences, and carry out targeted docking in layers and packaging.

A considerable portion of the initial funds for the Taiping Rebellion were obtained in this way from wealthy and powerful families.

The Great Sage is not only good at setting up organizations, but he is also first-rate at getting money from... ahem, angel investors.

"It seems like you've been doing well lately."

A familiar voice sounded from the side. When Mo Hao looked towards the source of the voice, his eyes lit up.

Mo Hao had never seen Xiyue look like this before. She was wearing a dress with moon white as the main color, and the fabric formed a rose on the chest of the dress.

She wore a dazzling emerald pendant on her chest, and her hair was scattered over her shoulders, swaying in the wind.

After a quick visual inspection, Mo Hao noticed that Xiyue's height was slightly different from before.

Well, I was also wearing high heels which made it difficult to move around.

Mo Hao nodded slightly and replied, "Not bad."

Fortunately, most things went smoothly as planned. Join the technical workers' union and control a certain degree of voice.

In the slums, the Great Sage secretly distributed food every day to prevent further deaths in that area.

Of course, they could only secretly distribute a bowl of thick rice porridge every night and absolutely did not dare to leave any food behind.

Now the prices in the country are rising every day. The time from morning to afternoon is enough for the price of an egg to triple at least.

If Mo Hao dared to leave food behind at night, people would die in the slums the next day.

But even so, some people noticed the strangeness of the slums.

The people who noticed were not cultists or patrolmen, but residents living near the slums who had houses but did not have much food and could not afford heating costs.

Compared with the people in the slums, they actually just have an extra house to shelter from the wind.

These people did not report anyone, but they sneaked into the slums late at night every day to get a few bowls of rice porridge and medical treatment.

Mo Hao knew of their existence and had no intention of expelling them. He just solemnly warned everyone every night not to leak the matter.

In fact, even without him saying it, the others would keep this secret to the end. After all, the feeling of hunger has taught them the consequences of not being able to keep secrets.

Mo Hao glanced at Xiyue who was leaning against the wall beside him, "You should be the protagonist of this banquet, right? Is it okay for you to come to my place?"

"Within less than an hour of sitting down, I discovered a hidden poison and a mixed poison."

Xiyue rolled her eyes. It was obviously very troublesome for her to pretend that she knew nothing and to resolve the hidden murderous intention just right.

Because the Taixu Realm pollution in their bodies was activated, and their status as nobles was in their favor, Xiyue could only hold it back and found an excuse to come to Mo Hao to catch their breath.

"It seems like you've had a hard time. You look like the Daughter of the Nile. So what are the nobles planning to do with you at the banquet?"

"My parents with this status have a seat in Congress. According to the rules, I am the first in line to inherit the seat. Someone wants that seat and tried to trade with me."

"You're not going to sell it?"

If you intend to sell, you won't use "attempting to trade" to describe this behavior.

Xiyue paused and stated the most fundamental reason for the failure of the transaction. "The price offered was not high enough. Seeing that I was the only one left in the Vinarn family, they wanted to lower the price and even wanted to scare me. A guy just now tried to use the vague statement of "support me" to exchange for my seat."

"They thought I would die at the hands of some distant relatives sooner or later."

After telling her predicament in one breath, Xiyue felt much better. If it weren't for the activation of the power pollution in the Taixu Realm that made it difficult for her to mobilize her strength, she would not have taken this level of trouble seriously.

Until now, what Xiyue encountered were only [troubles] rather than [unsolvable problems].

"By the way, what have you been doing lately? I've heard your name a little bit here as well."

In response to Xiyue's question, Mo Hao casually told her what he was going to do recently.

"Nothing much, just passionate speeches in the beer hall during the day and handing out talisman water at night."

In the most bland tone, he said something that no regime could tolerate.
