Chapter 91 The Taker of Fifteen Zeros
  Jian Hongchen's brain is very useful, so he quickly figured out the tricks here. He found that what attracts people to trade orchids is not only the attractive benefits of the agency system, but the most essential thing is that people have created A false, non-existent wealth, like an orgy of inflation caused by unlimited government printing of money.

The reason why people are diligent in orchid trading is that they feel that their wealth has increased, but is this really the case? Obviously, no, their wealth has not increased, or even decreased, but why do they have this illusion?

Because the wealth in their hands turned into orchids, and orchids were given the meaning of wealth by them, they naturally equated orchids with wealth. Having many more orchids in their hands gave them the illusion that they had become rich.

He only needs to make people realize that orchid is just a flower that has never been seen before, and it does not have the sacred meaning and value that people give it.

When the wealth significance of this flower disappears, it will become an ordinary flower, and the chaotic financial system will recover after the collapse.

And he, who was not involved in the orchid trade at all, will definitely gain a huge amount of wealth in this round of collapse.

He thought very well, and tried to concise the language of his speech as much as possible, making the content of his speech as easy to understand as possible, so that the Orchid transaction could collapse quickly and burst this evil financial bubble.

Jian Hongchen prepared some in-demand goods in his chamber of commerce, including some precious rare metals. The prices of these rare metals have been rising. Although they are not as exaggerated as orchids, they are still good things.

He felt bad selling the metal, but it was for fishing, which made the scene he acted more realistic.

Once the rare metals of Jian Hongchen are sold, many buyers flock to them. Although the benefits are not as high as those of orchids, not everyone can buy orchids, so it is not a bad idea to settle for the next best thing.

Everyone gathered around Jian Hongchen's shop, and when they were about to buy something, a man squeezed to the door of the shop holding two pots of bright orchids and a pile of bulbs.

"You only accept cash, right?"

"correct."

"But I don't have cash right now. Look...can I get some of the money for my orchids and bulbs?"

The receptionist's eyes lit up. The fish he wanted to catch finally arrived. The man holding the orchid didn't know where he came from. It could be seen that he looked very anxious. He was not very willing to trade with orchids, but he really needed that kind of fish. Rare metals.

But he didn't expect the receptionist to laugh after hearing his words: "Are you kidding me? How much are these flowers worth? What we want is money, not flowers."

Besides, even if this is a pawn shop, although the flower is beautiful, it is only worth two silver coins at most. Plus your onions...well...you have to go to the vegetable market to sell these onions. "

The man holding the orchid asked anxiously: "What onions? These are orchid bulbs, which can be sold for a big price. If I weren't eager to use cash, how could I be willing to sell them?"

"Tsk tsk, is it possible that this is made of gold? You are valuable, but you have to be bought by someone who likes to spend money. No one buys it, this is just an onion, not even as good as an onion.

At least onions can be eaten for cooking. What can this crap be used for? This is not cotton, someone must wear it; this is not food, someone must eat it; this is not a rare metal, someone must use it...

You want me to give you a valuation for this thing, two silver coins, no more. "The receptionist looked like a bumpkin who had never heard of the orchid trade, but these words made the onlookers realize that something was wrong. Indeed, this orchid cannot be eaten or worn, so why is it so valuable?

"This...I can't explain it to you! Call your Hongchen boss out, he must be sensible!" The flower seller's face was tangled, and he had a bad feeling, maybe his flower was going to be smashed on someone. In hand. Not long after, Jian Hongchen, who had been prepared, came to the shop and looked at the flower seller with interest.

"Boss Hongchen, you have seen the world. Isn't this the price I'm asking for?"

Hearing this, Jian Hongchen touched his ancestral bald head, pulled out a hair from the salesperson next to him, and said with a smile: "I was born with a bald head. If I like hair very much, I am willing to buy one with a thousand gold coins." A hair, is that hair worth a thousand gold coins?
  If I buy a hair with one thousand gold coins, is it possible that everyone can use ten hairs as ten thousand gold coins? Your flower is indeed a bit excessive. "

"How could it be too much? What's the price now? Just ask."

Jian Hongchen smiled and said: "Whatever the price is, that's the price only if someone takes it over. If no one takes it over, this is just a pot of flowers, with a maximum of two silver coins.

Besides, when almost everyone who likes this flower has a pot, who wants the remaining flowers? The rhizomes reproduce every year, even if they are worth the money this year... Hey, you have learned arithmetic, right? "

"Of course I have learned it!"

Jian Hongchen took out a charcoal pen from his pocket and wrote a series of numbers on the red brick wall on one side.

"In this way, the arithmetic will not lie. Let's do the math. Assume that this flower can reproduce two in a year. You are in your twenties now. I think you can live to seventy. Let's calculate how many years you will have until you die. How many orchids?
  Two becomes four, four becomes eight, eight becomes sixteen..." After counting to the power of two, everyone was sweating profusely.

"If you can live for more than fifty years, that is twenty to the fiftieth power, which is about one one, followed by fifteen zeros. There are only tens of millions of people in the entire federation, and there are seven zeros behind it. Who do you think has the power? So much money? Anyway, I don’t have it. I just like to count. How much do you think this flower should be worth?”

Everyone present looked at the extremely long sixteen-digit number on the red brick wall and were all stunned. According to the current price of orchids, even if a pot is worth a copper, you will not be able to afford it in fifty years.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Jian Hongchen said with a sad face: "Don't say that this flower is not gold and silver, even if it can produce gold, in fifty years, each of us will have to share millions of kilograms of gold. , by then it’s hard to say whether the gold or the sand is worth anything!”

"I'm sorry, your flower is only worth two silver coins in my eyes. Maybe it can still be sold now, but sooner or later no one will take it. Everyone thinks they are the second to last, but no one can be sure that they are not. That fifteen-zero taker.”

Jian Hongchen's words quickly caused an uproar. Everyone present, who had bought orchids, fled away and went home to prepare to sell the orchids. Seeing that the orchid trade was about to collapse, no one thought that the real disaster had just begun.

The bubble is so big that anyone who wants to burst it will have to pay a heavy price.
