The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 95 Change the door!

The candidate for the president of the Lingshi Reserve Bank is related to the financial stability of the Kyushu cultivation world.

Back then, President Lu Yang was able to designate Li Rui and Li Qingyang as his second and third generation heirs. It was entirely because of his status as a flying immortal, who was not bound by the heavenly laws of Kyushu. Whoever dared to stand up against it had to be prepared to be slapped to death by President Lu. Coupled with his high prestige as the chief designer of the Lingshi Reserve Bank, naturally no one dared to question his decision.

In fact, not to mention that the position of the president of the Lingshi Reserve Bank was decided by Lu Yang in one word, even before the head of the Wuliang Sword Sect changed, all the big bosses needed to ask for his opinion in advance.

Before that, there were many rumors in the Zhongzhou cultivation world, saying that if President Lu ascended ten years later, after the death of Luo Shen, the previous head of the Wuliang Sword Sect and master of sect management, and then choose to ascend to the heaven realm, then Lin Jianxing might not have a chance to succeed Wuliang at all. The head of the Sword Sect.

As the saying goes, there is no reason for it.

Lin Jianxing was able to succeed the head of the Wuliang Sword Sect because the monks of his generation were either ascended in the daytime or their lifespan was exhausted, and he was the only junior brother left with the highest seniority.

As an ancient sect of comprehension inherited from the Middle Ages, the Wuliang Sword Sect has a long history of nearly 10 years. Since ancient times, there has been a historical tradition of the most powerful and the most senior being the head.

Even though Mo Yunlan's strength is not inferior to Lin Jianxing's, as the opponent's nephew and nephew, standing up to fight with him is against the ancestral system, so in the end, Lin Jianxing, who was the sword-wielding elder of the Wuliang Sword Sect at the time, served as the master after the end of the Middle Ages. No.20 Head of the Sixth Generation Wuliang Sword School.

Although Li Qingyang is also a well-known cultivation economist, his prestige is obviously not comparable to that of Lu Yang.

When he was alive, it was not a problem to prevent Lin Jianxing from interfering with the Lingshi Reserve Bank, but if he wanted to appoint his own successor, even with the support of Mo Yunlan, the fifth-level monk of the Nascent Soul, it was still far from enough.

Because the highest decision-making level of the Wuliang Sword Sect, there are a total of five Nascent Soul Stage Supreme Elders!
In addition to Cheng Shuying and Mo Yunlan who often show their faces, there are also two great monks in the Yuanying stage who have been practicing hard all the year round. The Supreme Elder Qiu Longbo, and finally there is Wen Hanqing, a female monk who has been adhering to neutrality for a long time.

Ren Tianyuan and Qiu Longbo are also known as the monks of the [Transcendence School] due to years of closed-door training.

Compared with Mo Yunlan and Li Qingyang, who often intervene in mundane affairs and look more like technocrats, monks of the world school are obviously more in line with the description of cultivators in earth fantasy novels.

These monks of the world school almost never care about the life and death of ordinary people, and they are not willing to do good deeds to accumulate merit, so they rely on the way of retreating and chanting scriptures all year round, and pile up time to improve their cultivation level.It is precisely because of the perennial retreat and painstaking practice that the probability of accidental death of monks of the Transcendence School is much lower. Therefore, this has been the mainstream path of cultivation in the cultivation world for a long time.

It wasn't until Bo Nanke and Lu Yang, two worldly geniuses, came out one after another, making the theory of obtaining the merits of heaven more systematic and scientific, that the worldly monks gradually occupied a dominant position in the cultivation world.

Although the monks of the Transcendent School are no longer the mainstream of the cultivation world, their power is still very strong.

After all, not everyone has the talent to study economics and management. It is often the scumbags who have no choice but to study hard in closed doors. In addition, in recent years, the introversion phenomenon of WTO monks has become more and more serious, even sweeping the streets. Crossing the road with the old lady, I can't wait for someone to rush to do it. It may not be more efficient to practice meritorious deeds than retreat.

The well-known cultivation economist Bo Nanke has long predicted this situation, and called it the theory of "diminishing marginal benefits of merit".

Bo Nanke believes that the monks of the secular school may never disappear, but will reach a new game balance with the monks of the secular school, and finally form people with good theoretical knowledge to practice merit and virtue, and those with good spiritual roots to retreat and chant sutras. Comprehension social division of labor model.

And the follow-up evolution of Kyushu's comprehension society was exactly as Bo Nanke expected.

After the fierce struggle between the monks of the secular school and the monks of the world school, they finally re-formed a stable pattern in which the well water does not violate the river water.

Although the monks of the two sects no longer engage in large-scale fighting, the monks of the secular school are still very hostile to the monks of the secular school. The masters of the secular school like Mo Yunlan and Li Qingyang are even more thorns in the eyes of the scumbags of the secular school A thorn in the flesh.

Because of this, even though the two Supreme Elders of the Nascent Soul Sect who were obsessed with chanting scriptures almost never intervened in the internal power struggles of the Wuliang Sword Sect, on certain issues of principle, they would definitely work together with the head of the sect, Lin Jianxing. retreat.

Zhu Ziming believed that Mo Yunlan and Li Qingyang would definitely not be able to fight against Lin Jianxing and the two Great Cultivators of the Transcendental School, even with the neutral Wen Hanqing!

Therefore, the suggestion made by Zhu Ziming just now is to let the entire Zhujia Chamber of Commerce change its doors, betray the hopeless representative of the Du branch of the Wuliangjian faction, Lu Anping, and switch to Liu Hanxing, a member of the Cultivation Financial Supervision Committee of the Wuliangjian faction!
To betray one's backer, this kind of action is undoubtedly extremely daring, but Zhu Ziming's reasonable and well-founded assertion made it impossible for Zhu Jianwen to refute it for a while.

The old Patriarch Zhu sighed deeply: "Ziming, you are already a cultivator. If you insist on cooperating with Liu Hanxing, I will definitely not be able to stop you. But betraying Lu Anping is not a trivial matter. You have to think about it carefully. as a result of!"

Hearing Zhu Jianwen mention Lu Anping again, Zhu Ziming suddenly felt an unknown fire: before he tested his cultivation aptitude, this Wuliangjian faction trade representative didn't regard himself as a human being at all!

He sneered coldly and said firmly, "The reform of Zhongzhou's social security system is not a show, it is a life-and-death political struggle. We Zhujia Chamber of Commerce is weak and has no way out. We must make sure to stand on the side of the winner! If we can With the help of Lin Jianxing and Liu Hanxing, after Li Qingyang's death, let alone Lu Anping can't do anything to us, even killing the Qingning Chamber of Commerce will not be difficult!"

Seeing that Zhu Ziming was so hostile to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, Zhu Jianwen couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "Ziming, why do you insist on making trouble with the Qingning Chamber of Commerce? Getting competent management talents is even more powerful. Before the Immortal Ascension Conference, you were playing with fire when you contacted Ji Sihan, a traitor from the Qingning Chamber of Commerce behind my back..."

"There's no need to talk about this matter anymore!" Zhu Ziming interrupted his father roughly, staring at Zhu Jianwen's slightly tired face and said, "You and I both know in our hearts, if I hadn't tested my cultivation aptitude, I would have I was thrown into the [-]th floor of hell by the Qingning Chamber of Commerce and Yang Lu, and it is impossible to talk to you in this secret room of the Patriarch!"

Facing Zhu Ziming's critical question, Zhu Jianwen opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to defend himself.

The Zhujia Chamber of Commerce is just Lu Anping's white glove, and the trouble with the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is just following orders. Seriously speaking, there is only a small conflict of interest between the two chambers of commerce, and there is no fundamental contradiction.

Because of this, Zhu Jianwen thought that there should be no quarrel with the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.

But from Zhu Ziming's point of view, he was originally one of the many heirs of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce, and he messed up what Lu Anping told him. Although it would not affect the status of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce as Lu Anping's white glove, it completely ruined Zhu Ziming's personal future.If it wasn't for Zhu Ziming's ability to test out his comprehension aptitude, he would never be able to turn himself over in his life.

As the head of the Zhu family, I persuaded Zhu Ziming not to worry about these things, obviously some backaches arose from standing up and talking.

Despite this, Zhu Jianwen is still ready to persuade his heir again: "It's not that you haven't dealt with the Qingning Chamber of Commerce before, you should know how powerful that Yang Lu is. I heard that this person can single-handedly enter the city lord's mansion, and Han Fulai will be able to make Han Fulai act like a prime minister." Welcome, in just two months, the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, can be brought back to life. Not only Xu Yannan values ​​him, but even the business partners at the headquarters of the Wuliang Sword Sect specifically asked me about this person's background."

Zhu Ziming knew these things a long time ago, so he asked on the spot: "So what?"

Zhu Jianwen said earnestly: "I suspect that this Consultant Yang is probably a business talent secretly cultivated by President Li for Li Qingning. Our Zhujia Chamber of Commerce has long since lost its former glory. If you are an enemy of such people, I am afraid that you will..."

Zhu Jianwen originally wanted to say "self-inflicted humiliation".

However, considering that his son is already a cultivator, he held back this obviously instructive sentence. After all, mortals are not worthy of educating a cultivator, even as a father educating a son!

It has to be said that this ideology of "everything is inferior, only cultivation is high" has deeply affected every aspect of society in the cultivation world, and even the traditional blood relationship between father and son has been affected by the barrier between cultivators and mortals. distortion.

Even when Zhu Jianwen talked to his own son, he had to tremble and walk on thin ice.

In terms of personal strength alone, the gap between a cultivator and a mortal is probably even greater than the gap between a human and an ant.If it wasn't for the fact that cultivators were born randomly from mortals, and talents could not be inherited by blood, the relationship between cultivators and mortals would have evolved into the relationship between humans and animals long ago, resulting in reproductive isolation.

In fact, as a cultivator, Zhu Ziming no longer needs to discuss things with Zhu Jianwen. It's just that the identities of the two have just changed because of the Ascension Conference, so neither of them has fully adapted to their new identities.

Now that Zhu Jianwen mentioned Yang Lu's strength, Zhu Ziming was even more angry.

No one in the entire cultivation world knows more about Yang Lu's power than Zhu Ziming, but it is absolutely impossible for the arrogant Zhu Ziming to admit that Yang Lu is stronger than himself!

With a ferocious expression on his face, he gritted his teeth and said, "Father, you think highly of that Yang. In my opinion, he was able to take down Han Fulai from the Ocean Trade Department because of President Li Qingyang's influence!"

"Ziming, you are a fan of the authorities—"

"Enough!" Zhu Ziming interrupted his father again, not giving the other party a chance to speak, "The current situation is obvious. After Li Qingyang dies, Zhongzhou will have a situation where Lin Jianxing's family dominates. At that time, Not to mention that Yang Lu can't continue to pretend to be a tiger, even Li Qingning may not be able to protect himself. The currency reform of the third Lingshi financial crisis has caused countless monks from the world to go bankrupt. Immortal power was temporarily suppressed, but never completely disappeared. After Li Qingyang's death, this hatred that has been suppressed for 500 years will definitely tear the Qingning Chamber of Commerce to pieces!"

"But--"

"No, but! Now that Liu Hanxing is in charge of the southeast coastal area of ​​Zhongzhou, the lack of local forces like us is the most lacking. If he can take advantage of the situation and catch up with the head of Lin, let alone Lu Anping, even the life and death of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce will depend on it." I wish Ziming's face!" Thinking of the beautiful future, Zhu Ziming couldn't help but flash a gleam of happiness.

He could even imagine that one day in the future, that celestial-looking Miss Li Qingning would come to the door in person and beg him to let the Qingning Chamber of Commerce go.

Although Li Qingning is just a vase with big breasts and no brains, but this vase is too beautiful to stand up to. As long as he is a normal man, he will have the idea of ​​collecting her and playing with her.

But Zhu Jianwen is not as optimistic as Zhu Ziming.

The Zhu family has been able to stand in Haiya City for hundreds of years, relying on careful sailing for thousands of years, and now it is hard to produce a child with the aptitude for cultivation, but it is Zhu Ziming who is so ambitious, I don’t know it is a blessing It's a curse.

Seeing Zhu Jianwen's sad face, Zhu Ziming thought that he didn't trust his own ability, and continued to ask: "Father, don't you understand the financial situation of the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce? In recent years, the profit rate of the Chamber of Commerce has continued to decline, and even this The dividends we gave to that thief Lu Anping for two years were all loans we borrowed from Haiya Bank. Now we still have cash flow to maintain, but if things go on like this and we don’t make any changes, the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce will be hollowed out by Lu Anping sooner or later! "

Of course, Zhu Jianwen also knows the problem that Zhu Ziming said.

This is not the problem of the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce itself. Even a giant like the Haiya Chamber of Commerce feels that business is getting worse and worse. No matter how the major chambers of commerce control costs and combat commercial corruption, they cannot reverse this general trend.

Although the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce is still profitable on the books, it is more of an accounting method used to stabilize Lu Anping. If Lu Anping can see that the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce is no longer making money, then Lu Anping will definitely change his mind to a pair of white gloves.

Lu Anping can change into a pair of white gloves, but the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce cannot live without a backer. Without a backer, the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce can only end in a dead end!
Even if Zhu Jianwen forcibly vetoed Zhu Ziming's bold strategy of changing his family, he would not be able to come up with a better solution to the reality of the slow death of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, Zhu Jianwen had to wave his hands a little tiredly and said: "Forget it, then do as you want, after all, you are the first cultivator from our Zhu family in so many years. I know you are very capable, but as the saying goes Rigidity is easy to break, no matter how perfect a strategy is, it needs to think about defeat before thinking about victory!"

Zhu Ziming obviously didn't listen to these advices, but said with fiery eyes: "My judgment will never go wrong!"

If it were changed to before, he was only [-]% to [-]% sure of his own judgment, but after learning that Yang Lu and himself had come to a similar conclusion through the ghost of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, he was already sure of his own judgment. Ten percent!
Although Yang Lu is very hateful, even Zhu Ziming has to admit that this person has real abilities.

It's just a pity that the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is already tied to Li Qingyang, the giant ship that is about to sink, and there is no possibility of changing the family. Even if Yang Lu sees the truth, it doesn't make sense. Instead, I wish the Chamber of Commerce a good boat Turn around, you can go directly to the final winner!
Thinking of this, Zhu Ziming couldn't help showing a smile on the corner of his mouth: After Li Qingyang's lifespan is exhausted, I'll see how long you Qingning Chamber of Commerce, this pair of dogs and men can continue to be rampant!
