How many people actually doing business can afford such expensive steel?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three: Everyone says they’ll use steel for all kinds of projects—where are the projects? Where are the results?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone else questioned these points, actually nobody would care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Viscount Roster was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew Viscount Roster was the biggest steel consumer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tons of magic-powered machinery, tons of infrastructure—all requiring real investment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also the person who could use this steel to create the highest value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even someone like him was questioning steel prices and steel sales, so inevitably people would have some doubts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the destructive power of these words ultimately wasn’t that great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because other people also had many ways to refute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actuary Johnny’s rebuttal points were also simple. Viscount Roster was just one person—he couldn’t be everywhere, so naturally didn’t know about other places’ situations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, although Viscount Roster had many projects and needed to use large amounts of steel, everyone thought he used more steel than anyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was just one-on-one comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about many-on-one?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How many nobles were there in this world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, the traditional land investment method had failed. Nobody would hoard land anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So for these traditional nobles, how could they achieve wealth growth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a doubt, through various changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stock investment, bond investment, futures investment—these new investment methods were naturally fine, but everyone knew these carried risks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So would nobles accustomed to almost risk-free investing really be willing to put their money into these relatively risky projects?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobles preferred sure profits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could they guarantee profit?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously—invest in factories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could plant cotton on their land, then establish cotton textile factories. The cotton cloth they produced could be sold for more profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could dig mines on their territory and smelt the ore—still guaranteed profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides that, there were many, many different kinds of investments. Suppose a noble was in a big city now, lots of factories had appeared around them, residents naturally increased too—wouldn’t they build new-style houses?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those new houses needed way more steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget everything else—didn’t the new-style houses near the City of Gold consume tons of steel?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, just think about it carefully. Establishing your own factory—wouldn’t you need to buy all kinds of machinery and equipment from Viscount Roster?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there really was only this much, how could Viscount Roster not know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for those new-style houses, besides the sphere of influence of the Church of Technology, weren’t they only built near the City of Gold?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, steel really wasn’t being used on a large scale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they only wanted to believe what they wanted to believe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how well the other side argued, they wouldn’t believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this situation, what Viscount Roster said would only become rhetoric protecting his own interests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when some nobles, after seeing Actuary Johnny defend himself, released tons of fake construction site photos to help him, the bow was drawn even tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone thought Viscount Roster was gradually losing his composure in the argument. But who could imagine that Viscount Roster just casually said a few things and had News Bird Megan write the press releases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t even spend more than 10 minutes a day on this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was within his expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When those nobles put their entire fortunes on steel futures, everything was already decided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had to defend all of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for those people swept along who also started buying steel futures, if their brains were still somewhat normal, they’d probably already cashed out when Viscount Roster first published his article.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who hadn’t cashed out, if they were clear-headed, were definitely looking for opportunities to get out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining people had long since been blinded by profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had no intention of thinking about right or wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d just mindlessly support their own ideas, support Actuary Johnny, frantically brainwash themselves and those around them, until everyone around them was the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d probably get even crazier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The online battle continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Viscount Roster came to a livestock farm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was one of the ten major livestock farms where Southern Development Corporation cooperated with agricultural production, and also the one closest to Viscount Roster’s residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long wait, the first batch of Long White Pigs—transformed and cultivated by the Goddess of Agriculture, growing 2-4 extra ribs—had reached standard market time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people gathered here today. There was Viscount Roster, the Southern Agriculture Archbishop, reporters from World Economic News Agency, and some other famous figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, quite a few of these people had also bet on steel futures. There was \"hatred\" between them and Viscount Roster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viscount Roster’s words were like needles, daily stabbing at their very livelihoods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But face to face, naturally they couldn’t bring this up. Each one acted like nothing was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some things were suitable for public discussion, others very much weren’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking around and confirming that all the guests he’d invited had arrived, Viscount Roster said with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe everyone has learned from my invitation the purpose of inviting you here today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The important meat source the Goddess of Agriculture has granted us mortals, the God-given Long White Pigs, will be marketed for the first time today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Calculated from when the piglets came into this world, a full 160 days have passed. During these 160 days, we strictly followed the breeding methods the Goddess of Agriculture taught.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today will be when we witness how much these Long White Pigs can weigh under standard breeding time, how much meat they can produce, and whether they’re suitable for large-scale popularization!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, the common pig in this world was a black-haired pig. This kind of pig usually needed about 300 to 360 days of breeding before market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just this point alone—as long as the Long White Pig’s weight and meat yield weren’t too bad, it would definitely become an excellent meat source.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in the same time, you could raise two batches, and if you operated well, there’d even be some extra time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it was half the size, couldn’t the meat it provided still break even?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the time factor already shocked many people present!\u003C\u002Fp>",1060,"2026-06-06T14:38:03.137Z",1,"novelbin.me","aa59100fa99c239ccd5a515d68d968eee3089f7200077e559c2dfa60f8e7fcac","god-of-technology-creating-the-internet-in-anoth-chapter-435","god-of-technology-creating-the-internet-in-anoth-chapter-433",524,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgod-of-technology-creating-the-internet-in-anoth-cover.jpg"]
