Fourth Spirit Stone Financial Crisis Chapter 27

2022-04-02

Chapter 27 The Zhu Family Conspiracy (Part 1)

Unlike the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce is rooted in Seacliff City Hundreds of years of history.

Similar to Chen Ping's family, the Seacliff City Zhu Family also emerged during the third Spirit Stone financial crisis 500 years ago. The biggest wealth reshuffle in 7,000 years.

Before the third Spirit Stone financial crisis, the mainstream currency system in the cultivation world was the Nine Provinces currency union system created by Bo Nanke, a well-known cultivation Economics expert. The monetary system between physical currencies adopts an institutional arrangement similar to the Bretton Woods system. Its main currency [Spirit Stone Voucher] and Spirit Stone are semi-linked. Spirit Stone Voucher can theoretically be exchanged for Spirit Stone, but the exchange process is relatively indirect, and the monetary authority can artificially increase the difficulty of currency exchange. By partially decoupling the Spirit Stone coupons from the Spirit Stone, to a certain extent, the monetary authorities can artificially adjust the amount of money put in, which partially overcomes the problem that the Spirit Stone currency circulation cannot match the economic development of the Nine Provinces and causes the currency value to fluctuate greatly.

However, just like Earth's Bretton Woods system, the Nine Provinces currency union system eventually had a crisis due to a run on the currency. Finally, President Lu Yang was born and founded Spirit Stone Reserve Bank, which completely transformed the Nine Provinces currency. The league swept into the trash heap of history.

But the currency reform is not a dinner party. The confrontation between the old and the new currency is very fierce at first.

Although the credit of Spirit Stone bonds has been on the verge of collapse during the third Spirit Stone financial crisis, such run crises have not occurred before. The customer senior's financial concept was decisive. In the embryonic stage of the crisis, it used the Spirit Stone inventory of Seven Major Sects to blow up the short sellers, and successfully curbed the trend of Spirit Stone coupon depreciation.

So many people believed at the time that the Nine Provinces Currency Union could once again blow out the shorts.

However, this is not the case. At that time, the Nine Provinces Currency Union was exhausted. The top executives of the Nine Provinces Currency Union only supported the scene according to Bo Nanke's theory that "confidence is more important than Spirit Stone", pretending to be still confident. It's just full.

When most people realize that the situation is over, the credit of Spirit Stone coupons collapsed almost overnight, and the wealth accumulation of countless cultivation families for thousands of years was instantly reduced to waste paper.

There is even a cultivation monster who came out of retreat for several decades, and found that his life savings was gone, and he died on the spot.

In the end, President Lu Yang used the new currency Spirit Stone Coin to make some backs on the Spirit Stone coupons, which avoided the fate of most cultivation families in the Nine Provinces cultivation world because of the Spirit Stone financial crisis.

This is why President Lu Yang has a high prestige comparable to that of a savior in the Nine Provinces cultivation world!

Although the third Spirit Stone financial crisis has made countless veteran cultivation families strength great injury, there are also many New Generation cultivators who bet on Spirit Stone Reserve Bank in the early stage, and made a fortune by taking the opportunity of the Spirit Stone financial crisis. .

Old Ancestor Zhu Biao of Seacliff City Zhu Family and Seacliff City Chen Family Old Ancestor Chen Kui are all representatives.

Although they are only Qi Refinement Realm cultivators, they have obtained wealth that is incomparable. Even the Seacliff Chamber of Commerce, which is deeply mired in the Spirit Stone financial crisis, relies on these two bigwigs. Borrowing working capital can avoid the fate of bankruptcy.

It is precisely because they were once Seacliff Department creditors that both the Zhu Family and the Chen Family acquired the rights to franchise in Seacliff City.

As the saying goes, one emperor and one courtier, with the passing of the two Qi Refinement Realm Old Ancestors, the senior executives of the Seacliff Department who had been favored by the two also gradually withered away and became independent from the Zhu Family outside the Seacliff Department. The Chamber of Commerce and the Chen Family Chamber of Commerce, the situation becomes more and more awkward.

The Chen Family Chamber of Commerce is fortunate, with one or two cultivators appearing in almost every generation, barely able to hold on to the facade.

The Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce is relatively unlucky. None of the Zhu Zhiming father and grandfather can measure the cultivation aptitude and become the mortal Chamber of Commerce without the protection of the cultivator. This independent Chamber of Commerce Commerce, Seacliff City, surrounded by wolves, is no different from fat sheep.

Therefore, Zhu Family patriarch Zhu Jianwen had no choice but to attach his Chamber of Commerce under the name of Lu Anping, the special trade representative of the Immeasurable Sword Sect, as the white glove of Immortal Master Lu.

Now the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce is not as strong as it used to be, only the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce headquarters, which is located in the core area of Seacliff City and has a majestic architectural pattern, still strives to show the glory of the Zhu Family in the past. .

While Yang Lu was leaving for the City Lord's Mansion, Zhu Zhiming was meeting guests from the Seacliff Chamber of Commerce in his Chamber of Commerce reception room.

"Strictly manage things, I asked you about things before, It shouldn't be anything wrong!" Facing this slightly chubby, well-dressed middle-aged man, Zhu Zhiming's The tone was very respectful.

To be able to treat a rich second-generation like Zhu Zhiming with such respect, this Yan Guanshi is naturally not an ordinary guest. His name is Yan Kuan, and his position is Chief-In-Charge of the Seacliff Chamber of Commerce headquarters.

Compared to Zhu Zhiming's respect, Yan Guanshi looked very relaxed, and the relationship between the two parties was obvious at a glance: "Is it just creating the illusion that the Seacliff Chamber of Commerce's capital chain is tight, and the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is stuck. Commerce payment? You also know that accounting is an art, the line between true and false is very blurred, I can achieve what you want without leaving any handle.”

With Yan Kuan's assurance, Zhu Zhiming's face also looked much better: "With your words, the Qingning Chamber of Commerce will surely die!"

"My Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce and I are also old We are friends, and we should help each other!" Yan Guan said politely in advance, and then changed the topic and said as if he meant something: "But I'm always a little uneasy in my heart. You should know that for us For the old man who does the accounting, even if he commits a crime, there is no problem, but he must not make mistakes..."

Zhu Zhiming is also a smart person. Don't worry, this matter is personally assigned by Immortal Master Lu, and it is absolutely politically correct!"

However, Yan Kuan's expression was still grim, and he didn't seem to buy it easily: "Immortal Master Lu is from Seacliff City. I can trust him naturally. But the beautiful president of Qingning Chamber of Commerce is not an ordinary person, she is a Divine Immortal who can pierce the sky!”

Zhu Zhiming seems to have long known that the other party has When asked this question, she calmly said: "So what? Although Li Qingning has a prominent background, the forces behind her do not support her rash actions. She is smart enough to do business with Tianshu City, so she is equivalent to openly interfering in Central Plains Social Security. The system reform has violated the bottom line of all influence! Needless to say, Tianshu City Lord Chenming and our City Lord Jiang are dead enemies who have been fighting for hundreds of years. Do you think City Lord Jiang's behavior towards her is not the case? Do you have any comments?"

Yan Guanshi heard this, his face softened a little, and nodded said: "These small actions we have done must not be concealed from President Su and President Su. City Lord Jiang, these great characters, since they did not express their opposition, they must have acquiesced. It's just that I did things after all. If someone stabs them, City Lord Jiang and President Su will definitely be fine, but I will definitely be pulled out to take the blame! ”

As the Old Fox of the Seacliff Chamber of Commerce, Yan Guanshi has a very clear understanding of his situation.

However, after hearing his concerns, Zhu Zhiming suddenly laughed He got up heartily, and laughed until Yan Kuan couldn't figure it out.

After the laughter subsided, Zhu Zhiming reopened the mouth and said: "Strictly manage affairs, didn't you just say that we like this A mortal who works for a cultivator can sin, but absolutely can't make mistakes? Immortal Master Lu ordered me to take action against the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. President Su acquiesced to you to make small moves just to make us take the blame. If we don't even dare to carry the blame, what use are the cultivators of aloof and remote? Do you want them to do the dirty work themselves? Those of us who do things for cultivators are dedicated to doing dirty work. If you don't do these things because you think they are dirty, then you have made a real big mistake! ”
