Chapter 679： pessimistic (1/2)

The snowflakes fell, white as jade, as if a messenger sent by God, waving blessings to believers.

The people of Paris living in the dwelling have stepped out of their homes and joked with the children in the snow to enjoy this wonderful time.

”Snow” is rare for the people of Paris. In Medici's memory, the last time it snowed in Paris was many years ago.

For many years, Medicis can't remember. For people who are hungry and cold, ”snow” is not a good thing, and there is no need to commemorate it.

This year is an exception. The dividends brought by the Prussian-Russian war were not only enjoyed by Austria, but France also received huge benefits.

In the context of the great economic prosperity, social contradictions in France tend to ease, and the most obvious thing is that the lives of the people in Paris are better off.

In this regard, Medicis is the most touching. As the owner of a small newsstand, he has a unique method of judgment.

Most of the French people are passionate about politics and will order several newspapers whenever economic conditions permit. The sales of newspapers also reflect the French economy to some extent.

The people of Paris are proud of this. French newspaper sales have always been at the top of the world's rankings, and Parisians have contributed half of them.

Ranking global newspaper sales leads to an interesting conclusion: France, Austria, Britain, Paris.

This is not a joke, but it really happened.

The political sensitivity of the people in Paris can be said to be the highest in the world. It is right to distinguish the Parisian from the countryman and see if he reviews political news.

”Medicis, let me fetch the newspaper.”

A familiar voice sounded and pulled out Medicis who was addicted to reading the newspaper.

When there is a business coming, it is natural to receive. Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Medici smiled slightly: ”Rules, is it still the same?”

In the middle of his speech, Medicis had taken out a stack of newspapers he had prepared and put it on top.

The middle-aged man frowned, and said angrily: ”Of course. Medicis, don't you know me?”

Medicis wasn't upset, and still said with a smile: ”Ruhls, be patient. You are so old-tempered, can't you change?”

Luls shook his head: ”Forget it, I'm a lot of years old, what else should I change!”

Judging from the average life expectancy in France, Rules who is over 40 years old is indeed an old man. But the average is often the easiest to bias.

The real short life expectancy is mainly the workers at the bottom. The lives of nobles and rich men are not short at all.

Medicis shook his head without continuing to persuade. Just a little in the newspaper and said, ”Okay, Luers. This is the newspaper you want, get it yourself.”

Seemingly thought of something, Medicis added: ”Well, today the international edition of the Paris News is good, and you should be interested.”

A quick glance at the title, it was ”the impending dissolution of the Anglo-French-Austrian Alliance of Three Nations”.

Ruhls face changed greatly, as a qualified Parisian, he knew the importance of the three-nation alliance. Hastily asked, ”What happened?”

Medicis calmly replied: ”Don't make a fuss, things are not so serious, but there is a little friction in South America, I believe the government can handle it.”

To be concise, but the specific content is resolutely not mentioned. This is the experience that Medicis has accumulated over the years of selling newspapers. If you make things clear, why buy newspapers?

Rolls rolled his eyes: ”Give me a copy and settle it together on the weekend.”

No way, since Napoleon III opened the retirement system again, the avant-garde Rules has become the Zhou Guang clan.

Except for leaving the necessary family expenses, the rest of the money was spent early. Now it is Saturday, and naturally you have no money in your pocket.

Regardless of whether this consumption pattern is good or bad, stimulating economic development is real.

With slightly lower incomes, French citizens can have per capita consumption that is not weaker than Austria, and stimulating the economy is also an important factor.

Of course, there were no credit cards in this era, and pre-consumption was not popular. Even the most avant-garde Paris is only within its means.

”As you wish!” After that, looking at the snow outside, Medicis added: ”But I think now you still need another cup of coffee, preferably a piece of bread, and settle it with dinner. ”

”This proposal is great. However, Medicis, you are really a curiosity when you start a newsstand. If you do anything else, you will already be rich by your business acumen.” Ruels lamented

The combination of ”kiosk + cafe + bakery” is not difficult to get noticeable. Many people think that Medicis is standing by the small shop.

Obviously, Medicis is smart and knows how capable he is.

”Newsstand + Cafe + Bakery” looks very creative. In fact, there is no technical content combination, and the core selling point is ”cheap”.
