Blade of Time

Chapter 122 The Evil of Human Nature

It wasn't difficult to investigate this matter, and Jiang Changye and the others got the answer in just half an hour.

To their surprise, it turned out to be Longevity Company.

It is Shi Weiying's father, Shi Changshou's company.

How can it be?

Jiang Changye and Tian Siruo looked at each other.

Even Tian Siruo was reluctant to believe this conclusion: "This may be a misunderstanding. Weiying is an outstanding talented student of the Holy Cross College, and the Star Observation Tower belongs to the college. It is said that he fought for his father's business."

"But it's not justified if it can pass." Jiang Changye murmured: "Just inquire about the price to confirm... I hope it won't be the one that falls below the cost price."

Jiang Changye was a little helpless.

He went to Shi Weiying's house for dinner, and met Shi Changshou, a middle-aged man with a peaceful attitude. He was also a serial fighter in his early years. Later, he ended his adventurous career and started a construction business, which he did pretty well.

He never thought that one day, Shi Changshou would have a relationship with the Spirit Race.

Even though he didn't like this answer, Jiang Changye knew that this kind of thing should not be done with righteousness.

After thinking about it, he said, "Senior sister, you should investigate this matter."

Although Tian Siruo hadn't seen him since we met, but the relationship was average, she would have less personal emotional factors when she came forward.

Tian Siruo hummed without saying a word, nor did he raise the price.

Concentrating his mind, Jiang Changye looked at Mag, and said, "You just said that it is unlikely that the Spirit Race caused the big bang. What do you think is hidden in this matter?"

"Oh, this needs to be considered from their standpoint and habits. Every race has the needs of every race. Sometimes you can only understand them and know what they want only by substituting them in." McGonagall hurriedly said, Only I can analyze the meaning of the truth for you.

"Tell me." Jiang Changye said expressionlessly.

McGonagall replied: "I don't think the Eldar did it, but they probably planned it."

"What do you mean?"

"Like now, you have caught me and have my handle. From now on, I have to obey you obediently." Mag smiled all over his face, like a silent hint.

Jiang Changye smiled: "I understand what you mean. In order to achieve their goals, the Spirit Race needs to solve the problem quickly. Exploding the old district is a way to solve the problem, but they don't want to do it themselves, so they use instigation and temptation to hint others to do it. After finding the handle, you can still have a bunch of people to rape for yourself. Even if it is revealed afterwards, they can stay out of the matter, and they will not completely sever the relationship, which will make life difficult for the Spirit Race who cooperates with the Pure Land, and cut off all future possibilities. .”

"Yes!"

"So, who else can benefit from this?"

Mag asked back: "If Zhou Rui didn't reverse the case, who would be the beneficiary?"

Jiang Changye was stunned: "Director Gaskin... No, no, Lawrence? Damn, isn't he? He is the mayor of Maple Leaf City, and he went to kill thousands of innocent people for his own status? "

This conclusion was so horrifying that Jiang Changye and Tian Siruo were shocked at the same time.

Mag smiled: "If I were him, I would do this. Anyway, the people in the city who don't like him the most are the people at the bottom. If a group of people die, they can justifiably use security as an excuse to increase taxes, allocate resources, and gain support. Take control of the overall situation...not to mention that things are not just like this. Although the old district is poor, there are still a few listed companies. If you can short some companies before then, you can get more money..."

Jiang Changye and Tian Siruo gasped.

They think they have seen the dark side of human nature clearly, but only when the real darkness falls, do you realize that you are still tender.

A true villain who can do more than you can imagine!

Jiang Changye shook his head: "Wait a minute, the financial market in Pure Land does not allow short selling."

The financial market in the ordinal dimension is not as complicated as that of the earth. It is relatively simple. Many civilizations have long formed an internal unity. Although there are financial exchanges between civilizations, they are not so close.

In this system, merit is the core cornerstone, which plays the role of oil, and star coins, as a common currency, play the role of dollars.

However, the currency issuance of the Star Cult sequence depends entirely on the major civilizations, that is, their star coins are locked in the major civilizations for exchange, and there are strict restrictions, and it is impossible to use them unscrupulously.

And because of the frequent serial wars and the frequent fighting incidents brought about by extraordinary numbers, short selling is not allowed within many civilizations—otherwise, you only need to choose to short, and then attack a certain company, and then you can make money, which is equivalent to encouraging you to attack yourself.

Mag shook his head: "It is true that shorting is not allowed, but the civilized world always has various ways to bypass the restrictions. Have you heard of credit default swaps?"

Credit default swaps?

Jiang Changye's scalp tingled instantly.

That's right, this is the most famous financial product in the 2008 global financial crisis, and it was created by Michael Berry, a stockbroker in the United States. In 2004, Michael Berry discovered the potential crisis of subprime mortgage bonds. However, since subprime mortgage bonds can only be bought and cannot be shorted, he invented credit default swaps in a disguised form by purchasing insurance. , which is the famous CDS.Based on this battle, Michael Berry, John Paulson and a group of big shorts won the battle.

Of course, this does not conform to the status quo of the ordinal dimension.

Although the ordinal element also has a highly developed civilization, its essence is driven by war, and there are not so many complicated and high-end financial gameplay.

But as McGonagall said.

Times are changing!

And it is precisely the law of alienation that induces all these changes.

Does CDS have a law of alienation?

Have!
A bunch of financial movies such as "The Big Short", "Too Big to Fail" and "Wall Street" tell these stories. Among them, The Big Short tells the story of Michael Berry and other air gods creating brilliance in the 08 financial crisis. CDS is the main line!

These movies came to a certain world in the form of the law of alienation, affecting the civilization there, making it a world of trials.

Although the spread of law has not continued to spread due to the limitations of the planet, the contagion of ideas still exists.

So even if there is no rule erosion, many people know that the financial world can still have so many tricks.

In this way, even though I was not eroded by the law, I still learned a lot.

Such as shorting, such as credit default swaps, such as debt guarantee certificates, such as credit rating system, financial insurance and so on.

It's the same as the catastrophe world came up with a technological manufacturing plan for the moonstone regenerator, and then the hunters went to ask for it.

I am not corrupted, but I can also actively learn, get!
Just like the trial sequence can also do evil, my law is just, and it does not affect that I am a complete villain!
The election system also learned from the law of alienation!
In this case, the so-called no short selling has become empty talk.

Power, status, money, all kinds of stimuli, too many factors have made the old district a very suitable spot for blasting!

This made Jiang Changye's eyes dark.

Tian Siruo couldn't help covering his face.

After thinking about it, she shook her head and said, "After all, this is just an analysis, not a fact, right?"

"No, this is the truth." Jiang Changye murmured.

"What?" Tian Siruo looked at Jiang Changye in astonishment.

Jiang Changye closed his eyes: "I remember who the third person is..."

Tian Siruo was stunned: "Who?"

Jiang Changye's tone was serious: "Salaman, Viscount Sinking of Annihilation Sequence 7, head of the security department of Hongyang Group. By the way, Salaman was also there when the city hall mob attacked... I saw him."

Hongyang Group is the contractor of the Star Tower Project and is also a supporter of Mayor Lawrence. Salaman is the most famous and powerful person in Hongyang Group and a celebrity in Maple Leaf City. He often appears on TV. The renovation project was actively promoted by them.

Jiang Changye met him when he solved the mustache case, and he also saw him when he was attacked in the city hall. Before leaving, Jiang Changye had just returned from the dream world and met him again when he went to buy soy sauce for his sister.

But I just saw it, so I have a sense of acquaintance but I am not familiar with it.

He is like a ghost, everything cannot do without his figure.

This guy belongs to the elite in Sequence 7, and he is estimated to be able to beat two Starfire Lockes. Tian Siruo once fought against him and lost.

McGonagall laughed: "Hongyang Group participated in the bidding for the reconstruction of the old district, and they are also a major customer of credit default swaps. You see, things are as simple as that. Short before the explosion, buy land after the explosion, rebuild, the mayor Then they get support, increase local tax revenue on the grounds of security, control local armed forces, and further eliminate dissidents... This matter brings too many benefits, making money, earning power, monitoring surveillance, and controlling control! If you can get so many benefits by blowing up the old district, why not do it?"

He was so excited that he ignored Jiang Changye and Tian Siruo's mood.

boom!
Tian Siruo kicked him hard in the face.

McGonagall wailed: "I just substituted them..."

Not bothering him about this, Tian Siruo asked: "So you believe it was ordered by Lawrence?"

McGonagall quickly shook his head: "You don't need to instruct, just hint and pretend to be stupid. Big people are very good at throwing blame and finding scapegoats. Lawrence must understand this, but it is certain that no evidence related to him can be found, even if It is useless for you to uproot the Hongyang Group. But you and I both know that without his support, Hongyang would not dare to do this, and without his support... how could this unjust case happen?"

Yes!

If Jiang Changye and the others hadn't taken action, this matter would really have come true as Lawrence wished.

This bastard has been in power for all these years, and he has caused a lot of trouble, but he still wants to continue to be the mayor. For this reason, he will do anything, let alone have money!
As for the Lingzu, with the handle of the Hongyang Group, it will be more convenient to infiltrate the Star Tower Project. Even without Xinglaer, they can still carry on with this matter—Moustache is not an exception, no wonder he can be so easily Infiltrated into the Hongyang Group.

But it's hard to say now.

Because of Zhou Rui, everyone now knows that there is a ghost named Xing Laer who betrayed the ghost clan.

The Eldar know that the information center is likely to be exposed, and most of them will give up this plan.But Selar doesn't know about the Observation Tower project, so it might still be in the works.

At the same time, this will not affect Hongyang Group's enclosure plan.

In short, the plan for old districts involves various needs, and even if one point is missing, it will still not affect its actual promotion.

The Hongyang Group has a close relationship with Mayor Lawrence, doing all kinds of dirty things for Lawrence.

They were Lawrence's biggest supporters.

Jiang Changye thought for a moment, and said to McGonagall: "Zhou Rui overturned the case in the old district, and now the case is being re-investigated, but Lawrence definitely doesn't want him to continue the investigation."

"Yes! But he can't say it clearly." Mag nodded.

Jiang Changye said: "The best way is to assassinate Zhou Rui."

Mag shook his head: "I don't think Lawrence will issue this order. The timing is too sensitive, and Zhou Rui himself is very careful. What Lawrence has to do is to prevent Zhou Rui from finding other people, not to assassinate."

Jiang Changye said: "Then let's help him do it."

"What did you say?" Mag was stunned.

Jiang Changye smiled: "There is no evidence to create evidence, I need an assassination, an assassination that can point the black finger behind the scenes to Lawrence!"

He pointed to Mag: "Tomorrow night, Zhou Rui will encounter a Sequence 7 assassination. The assassination will fail, but he will be injured. Then I want you to come forward and ask Tong Danliang to treat Zhou Rui. For you, this kind of thing is very simple .”

McGonagall looked at him puzzled.

Jiang Changye continued: "Zhou Rui will never accept Tong Danliang's treatment, don't ask me why. And after that, you have to tell him that it comes from Mayor Lawrence's concern for him."

Mag opened his mouth wide in surprise: "You...you want Zhou Rui to fight against the mayor? No, no, no, it's impossible. Zhou Rui can openly challenge him, but he will never be so stupid as to use more extreme methods."

Jiang Changye picked up the tape recorder, got up and said, "You don't need to worry about this, I will give him enough motivation and confidence to act."

Tian Siruo shook his head: "You know? I don't like what you do."

Jiang Changye smiled: "I can understand, senior. After all, you were once the captain of the Department of Public Security, and you are used to using the law to solve problems."

"Isn't it right?" Tian Siruo asked back.

Jiang Changye shook his head: "There is nothing wrong, only your position. Sometimes when dealing with villains, you have to be worse than them. Besides...you are no longer the captain of the Department of Public Security."

Tian Siruo snorted angrily, turned his head away and did not speak.
