Chapter 95 Change the door!

The selection of the president of Spirit Stone Reserve Bank is related to the financial stability of Nine Provinces cultivation world.

The reason that President Lu Yang was able to appoint Li Rui and Li Qingyang as his second and third generation heirs was entirely because President Lu was immortal and was not bound by Nine Provinces Heavenly Dao. Who dares to stand up against it? Just be prepared to be slapped to death by President Lu, coupled with the lofty prestige of his Spirit Stone Reserve Bank chief designer, naturally no one dared to question his decision.

In fact, let's not say that the position of the president of Spirit Stone Reserve Bank was decided by Lu Yang, even before the Sect Master of Immeasurable Sword Sect was changed, all the big bosses needed to seek his opinion in advance.

Previously, there were many rumors in the Central Plains cultivation world, saying that if President Lu ascended ten years later, he would choose to ascend to Heaven Realm after the last Immeasurable Sword Sect Sect Master and Sect Management Master Luo Shen passed away. , then Lin Jianxing probably has no chance to take over the position of Immeasurable Sword Sect Sect Master.

As the so-called groundless, not necessarily without cause.

Lin Jianxing was able to succeed the Immeasurable Sword Sect Sect Master, entirely because the cultivators of his peers either ascended by the day or ran out of life essence, and he was the only one left, the Little Junior Brother, with the highest rank.

As an ancient cultivation sect inherited from the Middle Ancient era, the Immeasurable Sword Sect has a long history of nearly 100,000 years, and since ancient times all have the historical tradition of the strongest and highest-ranking person serving as the Sect Master.

Even if Mo Yunlan's strength is no less than Lin Jianxing's, but as the opponent's Martial Nephew generation, standing up to fight him in the ring is against the ancestral system, so in the end, Lin Jianxing, who was then the Immeasurable Sword Sect, was the Elder Jian. , as the twenty-sixth generation Immeasurable Sword Sect Sect Master after the end of the Middle Ancient era.

Although Li Qingyang is also a prestigious cultivation Economics home, his prestige is obviously not comparable to Lu Yang's mention on equal terms.

While he was alive, there was no problem in wanting to prevent Lin Jianxing's intervention in the Spirit Stone Reserve Bank, but he wanted to appoint his heir, even with the support of Nascent Soul fifth layer Great Cultivator Mo Yunlan. Still far from enough.

There are five Nascent Soul Realm Supreme Elders in total because of the highest decision-making level in the Immeasurable Sword Sect!

In addition to Cheng Shuying and Mo Yunlan, who often make public appearances, there are also two Nascent Soul Realm Great Cultivators who have secluded bitter cultivation all the year round, namely the current executive Elder Jian, Nascent Soul Early Stage Supreme Elder Ren Tianyuan, and Law Enforcement Hall Hall Master, Nascent Soul Middle Stage Supreme Elder Qiu Longbo, and finally a long-term neutral Nascent Soul Early Stage female cultivator Wen Hanqing.

Ren Tianyuan and Qiu Longbo are also called "cultivators" by the world due to their secluded bitter cultivation all the year round.

Compared to Mo Yunlan and Li Qingyang, who often meddle in mundane affairs and look more like technocrats, the cultivator of the birth school is obviously more in line with the description of cultivator in Earth fantasy novels.

These cultivators almost never care about the life and death of mortals, and they are not willing to do good deeds to accumulate merits. It is precisely because of secluded bitter cultivation that the probability of accidental death of the cultivator is much lower. Therefore, this has been the mainstream cultivation path in the cultivation world for a long time.

It was not until Bo Nanke and Lu Yang, two geniuses who joined the WTO, were born one after another, which made the theory of obtaining Heavenly Dao's merits more systematic and scientific, and the cultivator of the WTO gradually took over the cultivation world. leading position.

Although the cultivators are no longer the mainstream of the cultivation world, their influence is still very strong.

After all, not everyone has the innate talent to study Economics and management, secluded bitter cultivation, and many times, the scumbags have no way to do it. In addition, in recent years, the phenomenon of involution of cultivators who have joined the WTO has become more and more The more powerful it is, even sweeping the street and helping grandma to cross the road, I wish that someone would rush to do it, and desperately cultivating merit may not be more efficient than secluded bitter cultivation.

Bo Nanke, a well-known cultivation Economics expert, has long predicted this situation and called it the theory of diminishing marginal benefits of merit.

Bo Nanke believes that the cultivators from the world may never disappear, but will reach a new game equilibrium with the cultivators of the WTO, and eventually form a person with a good theoretical foundation to cultivate merit and a person with a good spirit root aptitude. Retreat and chanting, this brand-new mode of cultivation and social division of labor.

And the follow-up evolution of the Nine Provinces cultivation society was as expected by Bo Nanke.

After a fierce struggle, the cultivator of the world and the cultivator of the WTO finally re-formed a stable pattern of everyone minds their own business.

Although the two factions of cultivators have no longer engaged in large-scale combat, the hostility of the cultivators from the WTO to the cultivators of the WTO is still very high. A thorn in the eyes of the scumbags of the World School.

Because of this, although the two Nascent Soul Realm Supreme Elders who are obsessed with chanting are almost never involved in the internal power struggles of the Immeasurable Sword Sect, they will certainly disagree with the Immeasurable Sword Sect on some issues of principle. Sect Master Lin Jianxing is both advancing and retreating.

Zhu Zhiming believes that Mo Yunlan and Li Qingyang will definitely not be able to fight against Lin Jianxing and the two Great Cultivators, even with the neutral Wen Hanqing!

Therefore, the suggestion that Zhu Zhiming just put forward is to change the division of the entire Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce, sell the hopeless Immeasurable Sword Sect Taxlimit Hall representative Lu Anping, and switch to Immeasurable Sword Sect cultivation Liu Hanxing, member of the Financial Supervision Committee !

Being betrayed by one's own backers is undoubtedly extremely bold, but Zhu Zhiming's well-founded assertion made Zhu Jianwen unable to refute it for a while.

I wish Old Patriarch sighed deeply: "Ziming, you are already a cultivator. If you insist on finding Liu Hanxing to cooperate, I will definitely not be able to stop you. But betrayal of Lu Anping is not a trivial matter, You have to think about the consequences!"

Hearing Zhu Jianwen mention Lu Anping again, a nameless fire arose in Zhu Zhiming's heart: before he measured the cultivation aptitude, the Immeasurable Sword Sect trade representative You don't see yourself as a human at all!

He coldly smiled and said firmly: "Central Plains cultivation, social security system reform is not about playing a family, it is a political struggle of life and death. Our Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce is weak and has no way out. We must ensure that Stand on the winner's side! If we can catch up with Lin Jianxing and Liu Hanxing, after Li Qingyang's death, let alone Lu Anping can't help us, even killing the Qingning Chamber of Commerce will not be difficult!"

Seeing that Zhu Zhiming was so hostile to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, Zhu Jianwen couldn't help saying with a bitter smile: "Ziming, why do you have to get along with the Qingning Chamber of Commerce? The Qingning Chamber of Commerce is The Raptors across the river have recently recruited competent management talents, even more like a tiger that has grown wings. Before the Great Immortal Ascension Assembly, you were already playing with fire when you contacted Ji Sihan, a traitor of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce behind my back. Now..."

"No need to talk about this matter!" Zhu Zhiming interrupted his father roughly, stared at Zhu Jianwen's slightly tired face and said, "You and I both know that, If I hadn't measured the cultivation aptitude, I would have been entered into the Eighteen Levels of Hell by the Qingning Chamber of Commerce and Yang Lu, and it is impossible to speak to you in this patriarch chamber!"

Facing Zhu Zhu Jianwen opened his mouth to ask Zhiming's torture, but he didn't know how to justify it.

The Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce is just Lu Anping's white glove, and the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is just an order to make trouble, seriously speaking of which, the two Chambers of Commerce only have a little conflict of interest, and there is no fundamental contradiction.

Because of this, Zhu Jianwen thinks that he should not be too stiff with the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.

But from Zhu Zhiming's point of view, he was originally just one of the many heirs of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce, and he messed up what Lu Anping explained, although it would not affect the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce as Lu Anping's white man. The status of gloves completely ruined Zhu Zhiming's personal future. If Zhu Zhiming hadn't measured the cultivation aptitude, he would never have been able to turn around in his life.

As a Zhu Family patriarch, I persuade Zhu Zhiming not to worry about these things. Obviously, some of them don't have back pain when they stand and talk.

Nevertheless, Zhu Jianwen is still ready to persuade his heir: "It's not that you have never dealt with the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, you should know that Yang Lu is very powerful. I heard that this person singlehanded into the City Lord's. Mansion, can let Han Fulai meet him, and in just two months, can bring back the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, which was on the verge of bankruptcy. Not only Xu Yannan valued him, but even the business partners at the Immeasurable Sword Sect headquarters, Specifically ask me about the origin of this person."

Zhu Zhiming knew these things for a long time, so he asked back on the spot: "So what?"

Zhu Jianwen said earnestly: " I suspect that this consultant Yang may be a business talent that President Li secretly cultivated for Li Qingning. Our Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce has long since lost its glory. You are enemies with this and the others, and I am afraid that you will…”

Zhu Jian text came to say "inviting humiliation to oneself".

However, considering that his son is already a cultivator, he held back this obvious lesson. After all, mortals are not worthy of educating cultivators, even as a father to educate their sons!

It has to be said that this ideology of "everything is low grade, only cultivation is high" has deeply affected all aspects of the entire culture world society, even the traditional blood relationship of father and son. Distorted by this divide between cultivator and mortal.

Even when Zhu Jianwen was talking to his own son, he had to trembling with fear and walking on thin ice.

In terms of individual strength alone, the gap between cultivators and mortals is probably even greater than the gap between humans and ants. If cultivators were not born randomly from mortals, innate talent could not rely on bloodline inheritance, and the relationship between cultivators and mortals would have evolved into a relationship between humans and animals, resulting in reproductive isolation.

In fact, as a cultivator, Zhu Zhiming does not need to discuss with Zhu Jianwen at all, but their identities have just changed because of the Great Immortal Ascension Assembly, so neither of them has fully adapted to their new identity. .

Now hearing Zhu Jianwen mention Yang Lu's greatness, Zhu Zhiming is even more angry.

The power of Yang Lu, no one in the entire cultivation world knows better than him, Zhu Zhiming, but it is absolutely impossible for Zhu Zhiming of proud and arrogant to admit that Yang Lu is stronger than himself. of!

He looked hideous, gnashing teeth said: "father, you look too high on that surnamed Yang. In my opinion, if he can win Han Fulai from the Ocean Trade Department, he should borrow Li Qingyang. You're growing!"

"Zi Ming, you are a fan of the authorities—"

"Enough!" Zhu Zhiming interrupted his father again and didn't speak to the other party at all. "The current situation is very obvious. After Li Qingyang's death, the Lin Jianxing family will dominate the Central Plains. At that time, let alone Yang Lu can't continue like the fox which exploits the tiger's might, even That Li Qingning may also have powerless to defend himself. The currency reform of the third Spirit Stone financial crisis caused countless cultivators to go bankrupt. This hatred was only temporarily suppressed by President Lu Yang and Ma Tianyi Sect Master with immortal power, never Completely perished. After Li Qingyang's death, this hatred that has been suppressed for 500 years will definitely tear the Qingning Chamber of Commerce to shreds!"

"But——"

"No but! Now that Liu Hanxing is in charge of the southeastern coastal area of Central Plains, there is a lack of local powers like us to take refuge in. If you can take advantage of the situation to catch up with Sect Master Lin, let alone Lu Anping, even the Qingning Chamber of Commerce's life and death, Look at my Zhu Zhiming's face!" Thinking of the bright future, Zhu Zhiming couldn't help but flash a hint of happiness on his face.

He can even imagine that one day in the future, the Eldest Young Lady Qingning, who appears like a heavenly immortal, will personally come to the door and beg her to let herself go to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.

Although Li Qingning is just a big-chested and brainless vase, but this vase is too beautiful to hold back. As long as he is a normal man, he will move the idea of collecting her and playing with her.

But Zhu Jianwen is not as optimistic as Zhu Zhiming.

The Zhu Family has been able to stand in Seacliff City for hundreds of years, relying on careful sailing for thousands of years, and now it has finally produced a child with cultivation aptitude, but it is an ambitious person like Zhu Zhiming. , and don't know is it fortune or misfortune.

Zhu Zhiming saw Zhu Jianwen's sad face, and thought he didn't trust his ability, and continued to ask: "father, don't you understand the financial situation of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce? In recent years, The profit margin of Chamber of Commerce continues to decline, and even the dividends to Lu Anping in the past two years are all loans we borrowed from Sea Cliff Bank. Now we still have cash flow to maintain, but if things go on like this and do not change, The Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce will be hollowed out by Lu Anping sooner or later!"

Of course, Zhu Jianwen also knows the question Zhu Zhiming said.

This is not the problem of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce itself. Even Hegemons such as the Seacliff Chamber of Commerce have the feeling that business is getting worse and worse, no matter how the Great Chamber of Commerce controls costs to combat business Corruption cannot reverse this general trend.

Although the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce is still profitable in the book, it is more of an accounting method to stabilize Lu Anping. If Lu Anping can see that the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce is no longer profitable, then Lu Anping will definitely be thinking about changing to a pair of white gloves.

Lu Anping can change into a pair of white gloves, but the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce cannot do without a backer. Without a backer, the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce has only a dead end!

Even if Zhu Jianwen forcibly vetoed Zhu Zhiming's bold strategy to change his family, he could not come up with a better solution in the face of the reality of the slow death of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, Zhu Jianwen had to wave his hand slightly tiredly and said: "Forget it, then do as you wish, after all, you are the first cultivator from our Zhu Family for so many years. I know you are very capable. , but as the saying goes, toughness is easy to break, no matter how perfect the strategy is, you need to think about losing before you win!"

Zhu Zhiming obviously didn't listen to these advice, but said with fiery eyes: " My judgment will never be wrong!"

If it were changed to the previous one, he was only 70-80% sure about his own judgment, but through the inner ghost of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, he learned that Yang Lu had a relationship with himself. After coming to a similar conclusion, he was already 100% sure about his judgment!

Although Yang Lu is a very hateful person, even Zhu Zhiming has to admit that this person has real abilities.

It's just a pity that the Qingning Chamber of Commerce has been tied to the sinking ship Li Qingyang, and there is no possibility of changing the chamber. Even if Yang Lu sees the truth, it doesn't make sense. Instead, the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce turned around and could go directly to the final winner!

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhiming's mouth couldn't help showing a smile: After Li Qingyang's life essence is exhausted, I'll see how long you Qingning Chamber of Commerce, the cheating couple, can be rampant!
