My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1361 1359. Andre's trembling
The first phase of sales after Misty Sea Trading Company relaxed the investment threshold for Class A commodities lasted only three days. Ivankov thought that the enthusiasm on the first day was the limit, but he did not expect that the subscription frenzy in the next two days would be even more intense.

There were even merchants from North Wind Castle who traveled thousands of miles to Bernie City to make large investments.

Because the subscription this time is only for the common people, and there are purchase restrictions for each person, a wonderful business of "daily-disposable legal persons" quickly emerged in Bernie City. Not only would housewives help purchase shares in their own names, but even homeless people on the street would become signatories of a share subscription agreement overnight.

There are also those smart people who have invested in other places and are planning to take a shot and move on to another place.

However, because the registration system of the Misty Sea Trading Company uses the latest parallel computing orb database and the databases in various locations are maintained by super-powered hackers, this directly leads to the fact that those who make multiple transactions cannot succeed at all.

But even so, when the subscription was about to end on the afternoon of the third day, there were still many people crowding at the door of the office area. Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, many people who could no longer enter the office area began to cry in despair. The outrageous crying represented that they had missed the only chance in their lifetime.

The crying sounds were so continuous that people who didn't know what was going on would think that there was some big trouble in the city.

"Damn! Isn't this too exaggerated?"

At the edge of the fourth floor of the office area, Boss Huo stared at the scene in amazement. He had heard about the outrageous situation in Bernie City yesterday and rushed here day and night. He had stayed in the office area for most of the day today and it was no exaggeration to say that he had seen all kinds of life in this other world.

The students who came with Boss Huo to serve as "bodyguards" looked at each other, none of them able to speak.

"By the way, can these people really understand the complex business logic of this trading company?"

Che Che, who was leaning on a staff, complained:
"I can't quite understand that stuff. It's too complicated and mixed with all kinds of industry jargon. It looks high-end, but it's really abstract to understand."

“That’s the effect we wanted to create.”

Ah Zhu, with his hands on his waist, shook his head and said:
"I worked part-time in a securities company during the summer vacation. Their requirements for copywriting were like this: it had to make clients feel professional, but it couldn't be too clear so that clients could see through the loopholes.

This thing is used to fool fools!
Real professionals don’t look at these things at all. They can judge the reality of a company from the financial curve. Anyone who needs to read the copy is a fool!
But I do doubt that even one in ten people who bought an investment in the last three days understands how the financial industry works."

"Do you have some misconception about literacy rates in the Middle Ages?"

Niu Niu, who was leaning on a sword, complained:

"My Amber was a smart and beautiful illiterate girl before she entered the Church of Avalon. Don't have any expectations of the general knowledge of this society. I can be sure that these people don't even realize what they are doing!
It was purely because the profits of the Misty Sea Trading Company in the past few months were so exaggerated that it created a real wealth myth. When everyone heard that this matter could make money, they decided to go all in without any hesitation.

After all, even those high-ranking officials have invested in this company and made a fortune. They are not afraid, so what are they afraid of?
Don't underestimate the herd mentality.

The more ignorant a place is, the greater the noise that herd mentality can cause.”

"not that simple!"

Brother Crow beside Lao Huo was no longer as relaxed and at ease as before. He rubbed his brows as if he realized that he had played too big this time, and whispered:

“This world has God, everyone.

Moreover, what we are doing just happens to overlap with the realm of a god. Ms. Dutna is going to conduct her own trial on all living beings. The fact that such a buying frenzy has been triggered in such a short period of time must definitely be due to the God of Wealth secretly fueling the flames.

she.
He seemed to want to see how destructive the "alien knowledge" we brought was, so to be precise, this was a "social experiment" by the gods.

Lao Huo, I heard that Ivankov adjusted the settlement time three days ago? "

"Yes, he changed the settlement time from fifteen days to ten days. Only 10% of the profits will be settled in the first wave. I can understand Ivan's thoughts, but he really meant well but ended up doing something bad this time."

When mentioning this matter, Boss Huo shook his head helplessly and said:

“He underestimated the greed of human nature. Even if the first wave of settlements was only 10%, after seeing their principal increase by 50%-300% in ten days, those who had made a profit would not stop but would become even crazier.

What’s even more terrible is that once other people in the city who are still waiting and watching confirm that this thing can make money, they will also rush in with an even crazier attitude.

A snowball big enough to crush everyone has formed!
Now even we can't stop it, and even the appearance of Goddess Dutna can't reverse it. After all, she is just a god of faith. Moreover, there are very few believers in this city."

Lao Huo's explanation made the students behind him look at him sideways.

They had never been in society, so naturally they didn't know what to do after getting into such a big mess. But if you think about it carefully, the students only provided Lao Huo with one-fifth of the initial start-up capital.

If there is any reckoning, it won't be on their heads.

“This is so scary!”

Meow Shark chewed his fingers nervously. This was his habit. He would do stupid things like this when he was nervous.

He whispered:

"A lot of people will definitely die, just like those high-flyers during the stock market crash. Chao! It's no joke that there are no vacancies on the rooftop now. Everyone usually brags about being a savior, but this time you guys really gave everyone a hard time.

As expected, Ma Shengcheng was right. Knowledge is the greatest power!
If players really want to use swords to do this tough job, it will take tens of thousands of people several months to complete it, right? Zhuo, Lao Huo, what do you do in real life?

I’m really a little scared now.”

"Don't be nervous, don't be afraid."

Boss Huo laughed dryly a few times, lit a cigarette to calm himself down, and whispered:

"If this happened in our country, I would be the first to be forced to eat the government's food if I dared to make such a fuss, but the biggest advantage here is that there are gods! At worst, after we expose the sky, we can let the gods come down to clean up the mess.

In fact, I think this might be what Ms. Dutna really thinks.

The God of Wealth wants to establish his own majesty in the material world as quickly as possible. A miracle is far less effective than a disaster, not to mention that this wave of miracles comes after a disaster, which is even more precious. "

"Ms. Dutna is making this matter too simple."

Brother Crow said with a gloomy face:
"She is secretly fanning the flames, which has violated our agreement with her. We should have been in charge of this matter from beginning to end. This goddess is eager to show her power but does not realize that her power is not enough to quell the calamity in people's hearts.

The reason is simple. If the financial practitioners over there cannot handle the stock market crash and the subsequent series of economic crises, then Ms. Dutna will certainly not be able to handle the disaster she has created.

Although she could gain believers on the surface, such an operation would be fatal to the economy of the Kavkhovaya region, which would in turn weaken her influence on another level.

She was too young, too impulsive, and had no respect for professional advice.

What a pity! I can’t afford to serve such a god!
After this is over, I should say goodbye to her. She is not the kind of law-abiding partner I want."

"Hey, isn't it a bit irresponsible to back out at this time?"

Old Huo looked at the civilians crying downstairs and whispered:
"These people have been dragged into this. If we let them go now, once the bomb explodes, how many people in this city will be able to survive?"

"Who said I want to quit? I'm just giving a sharp review of our young God of Wealth!"

Brother Crow glared at Boss Huo and said:

"Although the plan is slightly off, this is also an opportunity. Perhaps it is time to establish a unified currency under this world system, and the 'Iron Vault' of the Goddess of Wealth can also be arranged accordingly. I don't like His superfluous behavior. Using external forces to intervene can certainly make people feel the greatness of the gods, but it cannot make everyone know the fragility of themselves.

All they can learn is that the gods can solve the problem, but they cannot learn from it so as not to fall into the same pit next time.

Isn't this just going back to the 'theory of the omnipotence of God'?

I had higher expectations for the Goddess of Wealth, but now it seems that Her desires are so base and disappointing. She is just an ordinary god of faith immersed in self-authority and foolish power.

It is completely incomparable to Ms. Rose's awareness of pursuing advanced productivity.

As expected, letting gods become the driving force for advancing social productivity is a paradox in itself. Conservative beliefs and a bright future are destined to be chosen.
Boring!

As for those people below, today's business hours are extended by two hours!
Although they will eventually reap despair, at least for today, let them take away hope."
-
"Can you say that again!"

Andrei rushed to Bernie City that night. On the top floor of the quiet Misty Sea Trading Company, he looked at the calculation beads in front of him that served as account books to record the real cash flow. He looked at Ivankov and Brother Crow in front of him with shock and confusion, as well as Boss Huo who was sitting not far away and smoking.

Earl Baishan, who had just taken over the Principality of Thorns, asked:

“How much money is here?”

"It's just a bunch of numbers, sir. These numbers are the last thing you need to worry about right now."

Brother Crow said:

“You only need to know that more than one-tenth of the people in Kafhoka have already participated in this, and the upper echelons of the entire province have also been swept up in one fell swoop. The most ridiculous thing is that several large chambers of commerce from Beifeng Fort have also taken this opportunity to send their precious wealth to us.

If you still can't understand what this scale means, let me ask you another question: how much did Nordtoff's treasury earn last year?

It doesn’t have to be exact. Just give me a ballpark figure.”

Andre glanced at Brother Crow. He knew that this guy was a very powerful figure in the player community and had become a "legend", so he gestured a number with his fingers.

Brother Crow nodded, and after a brief calculation, he pushed a few computing orbs in front of Andre and said:
"These are equal to twice the revenue of the national treasury last year. I have to say, Your Excellency, the tax laws of the Nordic Kingdom really need to be adjusted as soon as possible. The inefficiency of your tax system has reached an outrageous level."

"What?"

Andre looked at the computing orbs in front of him. He stood up with his hands on the table in disbelief and shouted:
"You spent more than four months squeezing out the wealth of two national treasuries in Kavkhok Province alone? Although this place is rich, it's not that outrageous, right? What on earth did you do?
Is there anyone alive in this damn place who is scraping oil from stones?"

"Not only that, but from what I've observed, the mental state of the people in the entire city of Bernie has been much better these past few days than it was in its usual half-dead state. It's as if the entire city has come alive."

Ivankov, who was standing next to him, was playing with a gold coin and complaining:
"At least I have never seen the people of Bernie City so energetic. Of course, this seems to me like a carnival before the end of the world. Your Highness, I think you know how poor the serfs in our country are, but do you know?
In the past three days alone, I have seen more than once a large number of serfs come together to buy an investment in an attempt to change their fate.

Mr. Crow's sharp review is correct.

We accomplished what the wolf girl's tax collector could never do. We successfully emptied Kavhoka's pocket to the last penny.

Of course, I heard that the goddess of wealth seemed to be involved in this matter."

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

"None of this is the point! Listen carefully, the scale of this financial disaster is rapidly expanding because of Ms. Dutna's involvement."

Brother Crow said coldly:

“According to our previous plan, this Ponzi scheme will at most blow up the middle and upper classes of the Kakhovka region, which will plunge the entire province into chaos and weakness, but it will one day recover and become more resilient.

But things are different now.

The goddess of wealth has fueled the flames and dragged more civilians into the affair, which means that once this matter comes to an end, the entire Kakhovka will be blown up.

By then, this land that has lost all hope will belong to no one anymore!

Your crude economic system simply cannot withstand this kind of dimensionality reduction attack, and the collapse of the economic system will directly lead to the collapse of the social system. This land will enter the chaos of a doomsday wasteland overnight.

But we still have a chance to salvage the situation a little bit, but you and your sister need to make a decision."

"Wait a minute, I feel a little dizzy, let me calm down."

Andre felt dizzy. In fact, he had heard about the series of actions of the Misty Sea Trading Company in Kafhoka before. He even used his identity to give these guys the green light at the instruction of Murphy. But he really didn't expect that the matter would develop to this point.

"Ivankov! Tell me briefly what you did!"

Count Baishan yelled at Ivan angrily.

The latter immediately recounted in simple and easy-to-understand terms what had happened over the past period of time. At the end of the conversation, Andre's hands and feet were trembling.

He felt a chill running down his body.

He could fully imagine how "gorgeous" this snowball would be when it finally exploded.

His first reaction was to stand up and report everything to his sister, but the next moment, he remembered the last conversation between Madam Shani and him a few days ago. Well, no wonder this matter directly alarmed the ancestor to investigate personally. Grand Duke Shani must have been aware of the hidden dangers behind this matter a long time ago.

"You telling this to the wolf girl now will only make things worse."

Old Huo, who had been silent the whole time, stood up with a cigarette in his mouth and said to Count Andre:
“She will see through your guilty conscience, just like a parent seeing a child who got into trouble outside and runs home crying for help. She will certainly help you, but the reliable image you have worked hard to create will also collapse in an instant.

calm down!

Andre, my partner said that there is still hope for this matter."

"Turning point? How can you create a turning point?"

Andre looked back at the two players and said:

"You really brought the 'devil' from another world into our world."

"But Ponzi schemes are nothing new to us. If no one takes over, such things will definitely erode. However, if we intervene in time, it will only cause shocks."

Brother Crow spread his hands and said calmly:
“It’s nothing more than a matter of choosing who to save, a necessary trade-off. You can’t save everyone, so you can only do your best to save those who should be saved.

You see, we have just calculated the financial comparison between the two sides. I have to thank the exaggerated resource possession rate of the upper class in feudal society, which has led to a rather subtle result of this matter so far.

That is, under the premise of ensuring our own huge profits, the combined wealth of the major shareholders is enough to compensate the capital losses of the common people. Conversely, the combined money of the common people is just enough to pay the major shareholders dividends of the minimum profit amount of this business plan.

You have to pick one!
Either the civilians' money is returned in full, and the master's money is divided into 30% and 70%.

Either eat the poor and feed the master.

Of course, you can choose neither, take all of Kafhoka's wealth to please your sister, and leave behind only a devastated wasteland."

"Are you the devil?"

Andre the vampire scolded:

"I don't want to choose either one, I want everything to return to normal!"

"Unfortunately, what you consider 'normal' is, in our opinion, the biggest abnormality."

The crow shrugged and said:

"So let me give you a suggestion. The 10% profit from the first settlement of Class A commodities in ten days will definitely trigger the next wave of buying frenzy. And with just a little participation from you, those greedy and brainless noble reactionaries who do not obey the rule of the wolf girl will also generously invest their wallets in it.

Then you just have to wait a few days.”

"boom"

Lao Huo next to him made a gesture of fireworks exploding, and said with a smile in the smoke:
“All the opposition factions under the Wolf Girl will rise to the top, and the masters’ money will be divided between the two parties and then repaid to the innocent civilians in the name of the Goddess of Wealth.

In this way, the common people no longer have masters on their heads and gain awe of wealth, the goddess gets a display of authority, we get the necessary benefits, the wolf girl eliminates her political enemies, and you get the favor of the sister and become her 'only' support!

Everyone will be satisfied.”

“The proletariat have nothing to lose but their chains, and the world to gain.”

Ivankov next to him suddenly said this, which made Brother Crow and Lao Huo look at him in astonishment, and Count Andrei also calmed down.

After thinking for a few seconds, he looked at the three people in front of him and said:

"So, there will be no more nobles in Kakhovka in the future?"

"Of course there will be!"

Brother Crow showed a perfect smile and said softly:

"As long as they can resist the greed in their hearts and not participate in this financial game of either winning everything or losing everything, as long as they can honestly accumulate wealth in the original way, clumsily but slowly, as long as they have awe of wealth and never squander it or take pie in the sky.

I mean, as long as they don’t try to make money beyond their means, they’ll get through this.”

"Well, it seems that there will be no nobles in Kakhovka in the future."

Andre sighed and said:

“It is hard for me to imagine what this land will become in the future, but if one person must be sacrificed to save the rest, then those nobles who have been supported by the country for hundreds of years should also be sensible and stand up to the front line.

At this point, I'm already tied to the chariot and there's no turning back.

So, do what you think is right.

If you can save it, then save it! If you have to sacrifice it, then sacrifice it. Anyway, the story of Transcia has proved that this country can survive without those annoying guys, and without those who hinder reform, my sister's ambitions can be pushed forward in a stronger and smoother manner.

My ancestors conquered the wilderness, and my sister will truly rule the wilderness. This is the future that Nordtoff deserves!"
