Fish swimming around the world

"Let's not talk about whether that thing is a thing. You have been hiding in Yuelai for ten years, but have you ever figured out what Yuelai is?"

Zhang looked a little strange and said slowly: "This... is really a strange thing..."

Tianjizi was stunned: "How do you say that?"

Zhang frowned and thought for a long time: "...I don't know how to describe it. Yuelai Store looks like an ordinary inn, but its operation and management are very special, and its philosophy is completely different from the current world. How should I put it... unusually advanced Product, but very down-to-earth.”

After some words, he said: "Yelai's operating system is huge and complicated. I won't be able to explain it clearly for a while. I'll try to be as simple as possible. They implement a method called joint-stock system. The so-called original shares are divided into several shares and purchased by multiple people. The buyer can then hold it and enjoy the dividends accordingly. The buyer can be called a shareholder. The shareholder has the power given by the shares, which is called equity. Through this, he can participate in Yuelai's major decisions through the shareholders' meeting, but the daily control is. There is a standing shareholders' meeting to manage, and the leader is called the group's general manager, who is elected by the shareholders' meeting. In other words, in addition to the shareholders' meeting having the highest decision-making authority, the general manager is basically the daily top manager of the shares. It is transferable within a certain limit, which means that in theory anyone can be a shareholder, but only the nine largest shareholders with the largest equity are eligible to convene a general meeting of shareholders. However, major decisions must be approved by more than half of the votes. We will always implement this method and constantly replace the old with the new, so we can always keep pace with the times and last forever.”

Tian Jizi was surprised: "This is interesting. I know that there are people who start a business through partnerships, but it is really unheard of for people to operate like this. So, in theory, the real controller of Yuelai can be counted among the nine major shareholders?"

Zhang nodded: "I can't say that it's completely true. This set of techniques is very precise, but in general it can be understood in this way. And when I found these so-called major shareholders, I found that they had changed for countless generations. For example, Nangong The family bought some shares from the four major shareholders and then became one of the nine major shareholders. However, they had no relationship with Yuelai five years ago. Except for the shareholders' meeting that may not be held once every few years, they It is a rule not to participate in the daily management of Yuelai.”

Facing this incredible strange thing, even the well-informed Taoist Tianji opened his eyes wide and said: "It's so strange. Could it be that this thousand-year-old business is just operated by a set of magic techniques?" , there is no instigator behind it?”

Zhang said: "It is really strange. The headquarters we have seen can be anywhere, as long as it is a house and can hold a management meeting. And everyone in it, including me, may become a shareholder and participate in decision-making and interests." distribute."

Tianjizi smacked his lips: "Interesting and thoughtful, no wonder we can't find the actual controller..."

Zhang looked confused: "I have been in Yuelai for ten years, during which I tried to be the group manager for two years, and I actually had real operating power. I even bought shares and became one of the nine major shareholders, and also had the highest decision-making power to participate. "

Tianjizi was also a little confused: "Even so, you still can't find the mastermind behind the scenes?"

Zhang shook his head: "No, its operation is self-contained and a perfect cycle. For the first time, I think someone has such superb means. But..."

He squinted his eyes and said, "I still realized that there is nothing simple behind it, because the largest shareholder has never shown up, and 51% of the original shares have always been in his hands. Unfortunately, I have been tracking for several years, but I have not found any clues. "

Tianjizi thought deeply: "Nine times out of ten, this person or this force is the one behind Yuelai. Isn't it possible to trace it based on the movement of money?"

Zhang shook his head: "The dividends earned by that person have always been deposited in Yuelai's bank account, and no one has withdrawn them for thousands of years. And according to a jade slip left by him thousands of years ago, all of this money can be used for Yuelai's operations through the shareholders' meeting. The remainder can be distributed as dividends to all shareholders in proportion to their shares, so no one cares whether this person exists. But the problem is that once this person appears, he will be the actual person in charge of Yuelai. When circumstances arise, Yuelai has been jointly controlled by some major shareholders many times in its thousand-year history and has become a tool of their interests. Currently, Yuelai is jointly controlled by several major shareholders who suddenly came to power. In order to hide my identity, I had no choice but to withdraw. The ranks of the nine major shareholders.”

Tianjizi thought for a long time: "So, do you have any idea about the true origin of Yuelai?"

Zhang said: "The true origin of Yuelai has always been a mystery. Only among the top management, there is a legendary story. It is said that thousands of years ago, there was a young shopkeeper in Daicheng, Xiao Yue, who met the fox fairy at night and was taught the secret skills by him. Then he created this place. Soon after, the largest shareholder injected a huge amount of money into the inn, and everything prospered from then on. In the end, the family became unprecedentedly strong due to its support of Ji Sheng, and became a wealthy family. However, they sold everything more than three hundred years ago. The shares were withdrawn, and the shares held by it were only 15%, not the 51%. "

Zhang was a little depressed: "Based on that legendary story, I traced it back to that wealthy family, but they had long since lost contact with Yuelai, but... there is a rumor in his family that the Fox Fairy once visited his family again, but it caused a There is a dispute within the clan. Nowadays, that family does not acknowledge the anecdotes of their ancestors, and even calls the fox demon a fox demon. "

"What a weird thing." Tianjizi muttered: "If what you see is correct, there are really countless weird things in the world, but I don't believe in the fox fairy theory. This management technique must have been done by someone, and this person's imagination is unconstrained... It’s quite a bit…”

"Something?"

"It's a bit... uh... a bit weird..."

Zhang looked at him with some doubt: "Forget it, but I have something to remind you. The current ruling party of Yuelai is not very proud of your precious apprentice..."

Jiang Fan didn't know that such a conversation took place after he left. Although he was still puzzled by the local tyrant Zhang, what he was most concerned about was still the imperial court.

When he was paying attention to the imperial court, someone was also paying attention to him.

To be precise, they were paying attention to the matter of the leader and the prime minister.

In a wealthy family compound in Longmen, two people were discussing this matter. One of them was the old woman Xia Wang Xia, who was supposed to take down the leader with the power of Taiyue.

The other one was straight and tall, with a clear face, sitting on a giant chair made of eighty knives of various forms. What was amazing was that the table, backrest, and armrests of the chair were all blades, which meant that this person's whole body was under the resistance of the blade.

This person was the current leader of the Longmen Jiang family, the world's number one knife, Jiang Zhan.

"Your Majesty should not agree to this." Jiang Zhan's face was grim, and his tone was full of dissatisfaction.

Old Lady Xia was also from the Jiang family, and she inherited the throne of Xia with the support of this great family. She did not show any displeasure at Jiang Zhan's tone. He just shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Helpless... Clan leader, the situation at that time had forced him to make a decision. If Jiang Chen continued to oppose, he would obviously face the attack of the four countries, and his end would not be much better than that of the Qin State back then."

Jiang Zhan snorted coldly: "Taiyue is really not cautious enough. Such a big thing actually leaked the news in advance, causing Ji Zongyi to take the initiative."

Jiang Chen sighed: "It's not Taiyue's fault. If Taiyue didn't throw out some rumors to test the reaction, he wouldn't dare to make a decision easily. After all, it's different from the time of the eighteen kings. Now there are only five countries in the world. Choosing a leader, where does the imperial court stand?"

Jiang Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly: "When this clan leader learned about this, he wanted to go to Taiyue as soon as possible, but unexpectedly something went wrong and he was entangled by a junior."

Jiang Chen was stunned: "Junior? Who has such a big ability?"

Jiang Zhan snorted coldly: "Taihua, Gu Qingshan."

Jiang Chen seemed a little surprised: "Changmei's closed disciple, Taihua enters the world?"

"That's right."

Jiang Chen was a little puzzled: "Why is that?"

Jiang Zhan said: "This boy is stirring up trouble in Taihua and hindering major events. I originally intended to push this young man down, but I didn't expect that this young man would dare to fight back."

Jiang Chen was surprised: "Although this boy has a high status, how can he stop the clan leader in terms of strength?"

Jiang Zhan's face was a little gloomy: "I underestimated this young man. The news from Taihua is not very accurate. This boy has a force that cannot be ignored. Do you remember that during the tenth anniversary ceremony of Taihua, Jiang Chenzhou was actually working for this boy."

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned: "Jiang Chenzhou has been practicing in seclusion. Although he was amazing that day, the clan leader once said that this boy has not yet realized the truth..."

"Yes, but this boy's way has already manifested, which is very remarkable. If he succeeds in the future, Taihua will have another sword fairy, and this clan leader will also have another strong enemy."

"It seems that Taihua does not ignore this worldly walk." Jiang Chen's eyes were a little solemn.

"Yes, the Saint did not go out, and Ba Chi retired. We thought that he would not be taken seriously. I'm afraid we were wrong. If the Saint did not value this boy very much, then this boy has extraordinary means. No matter who it is, we must be on guard."

King Xia nodded: "Jiang Chen should send a message to our people to investigate his background. However, Jiang Chenzhou alone should not be able to stop the clan leader this time. Is there anyone else to help?"

Jiang Zhan said coldly: "Ye Banxian, that kid invited Ye Banxian."

"South China Sea Sword Immortal?" Jiang Chen was slightly surprised: "Isn't he wandering in the South China Sea and not concerned about worldly affairs?"

"Now it seems that he is not not concerned about worldly affairs, but it depends on whether he wants to."

"If so... it's really a bit troublesome. Why don't the clan leader consider letting Gu Qingshan go for the time being."
