Fourth Spirit Stone Financial Crisis

Fourth Spirit Stone Financial Crisis Chapter 4

2022-04-02

Chapter 4 Masked Guest

Newsboys are the bottom working people in Seacliff City, most of them are orphans without parents. That's why they accept the exploitation of the unscrupulous cultivation capitalists from the Pan's Trading Company, and their living conditions are much stronger than that of unemployed youths like Yang Lu.

In addition to paying out a few cents of Spirit Stone Coin to express her gratitude, the newspaper sales girl could only bow to Yang Lu again and again.

Looking at the Spirit Stone Coin handed over by the girl newsboy, Yang Lu slightly sighed, but still rejected the other party's kindness.

Cultivation capitalists' oppression of low-level employees is even worse than that of Earth capitalists. Don't look at the newspaper girl who sold hundreds of newspapers in a short period of time, but for each newspaper, she only Can get 1% sales commission.

In other words, this poor-looking newsboy just received a total of 1 cents of Spirit Stone Coin, and the few cents of Spirit Stone Coin she cautiously handed to Yang Lu, almost equivalent to half of her newspaper sales income!

Even though Yang Lu is now very poor, he really can't bear to exploit the poor working people at the bottom. After all, this small amount of money is nothing compared to the big business he is going to talk about next.

Although Yang Lu has made it clear that he will not accept money, the girl who sells newspapers is very persistent, and must find a way to thank him for his help, which also makes Yang Lu feel that the people at the bottom of the proletariat of warmth.

In spite of the kindness, he waved his hand and said, "I didn't even buy the newspaper when they grabbed it too quickly. If you really want to thank me, tell me about other things in the newspaper. Content!"

The girl has not noticed until now that Yang Lu, an "expert", can't actually afford a newspaper.

Hearing Yang Lu mentioning the contents of the newspaper, a hint of pride flashed on her cute little face: "Don't worry, I have been selling newspapers for so many years, and I have long since taught myself how to read and hyphenate. , I can recite the content of each issue of the newspaper like a fluent! Since you want to know the content of the newspaper, let me start with the life essence of President Li Qingyang..."

According to the introduction of the newspaper seller, Regarding the question of the remaining life essence of President Li Qingyang, in fact, "cultivation Financial Weekly" has not been confirmed, and it is still in the rumor stage. Some people say that there is still one year left, and some people say that there are still several years left.

Apart from this, the most important news should be the new-generation cultivation social security system promoted by Immeasurable Sword Sect.

It is said that the top management of Immeasurable Sword Sect has reached a consensus that it is imperative to implement a new generation of cultivation social security system in the Central Plains continent, but there is still a big debate on how to implement it.

A source revealed that the initial reform plan proposed by President Li Qingyang did not receive the support of Immeasurable Sword Sect Sect Master Lin Jianxing, and the senior management of Immeasurable Sword Sect was still fighting fiercely.

Yang Lu has heard about the cultivation social security system.

Cultivation The battle strength of individual social individuals varies greatly, and a powerful cultivator can slaughter thousands of creatures with just a little effort.

It takes decades for a mortal to go from birth to adulthood; a cultivator kills people in the blink of an eye. If it were not restrained, the social order of the entire cultivation world would have completely collapsed long ago, turning into a primordial society where the law of the jungle ran rampant.

Nine Provinces cultivation world can maintain social stability because of the Heavenly Dao merit system.

For cultivators, merit is an important cultivation resource no less than Spirit Stone. Anyone who does good deeds approved by Heavenly Dao can accumulate merit, while doing bad things that Heavenly Dao does not approve, such as murder and arson, Merit will be deducted accordingly.

It is precisely because of the level of merit that directly determines the speed of cultivator's cultivation, cultivator will take the initiative to open shelters to accumulate merit, so that the unemployed young people from Seacliff City like Yang Lu who came from Earth will not starve to death on the street.

As for the universal social security system, of course, it is a great deed for the benefit of the country and the people, and it will also be rewarded by Heavenly Dao's merits. Various universal social security systems.

This new generation of Central Plains cultivation social security system is an idea proposed by President Li Qingyang himself.

Just wanting to implement universal social security has never been a simple matter, and the interest groups involved are too large.

Even in the modern Earth society where the level of social organization is far more rigorous than the cultivation world, the reform of the social security system will encounter many obstacles, not to mention the Nine Provinces cultivation world where individualism is prevalent.

Therefore, the new generation of cultivation social security system has been shouting slogans for so many years, but it has never been able to come up with a plan that can be implemented.

This kind of thing that involves the game of high-level interests in the cultivation world is too far for Yang Lu, an unemployed young man from Seacliff City from Earth. , waiting for your real goal today.

Because the audience of "cultivation Financial Weekly" is relatively small, the content of each issue is not too much. The girl who sold the newspaper only talked for a few minutes, and she already told bits and pieces of important news.

Seeing that it was almost time, Yang Lu waved his hand and let the eloquent newspaper seller leave on his own.

Before leaving, the newspaper girl also revealed her family.

Her name is Murong, which seems to be not the surnamed Murong, but the surname Mu. She is also a native of Seacliff City, but she lost her parents very early and didn't want to eat pig food in the shelter, so she went to Pan's Trading Company and became the bottom-level newspaper girl.

Looking at this thin girl who is only 1.5 meters tall, with her head just touching her shoulders, Yang Lu can't help but sigh:

It's still a poor child who is in charge early!

Just watched the thin silhouette of the newspaper seller stagger away, and at the end of the cold street, another masked man in a black cloak appeared. In the Nine Provinces cultivation world, there are a lot of masked people who are unwilling to reveal their names, which is a standard configuration for walking in the rivers and lakes. Yang Lu didn't pay much attention to this person at first.

However, this tall masked guest just paused slightly in the distance, and then went straight to the entrance of the tavern.

Seeing the other party walking straight towards him, Yang Lu, who had just relaxed a little, couldn't help but sigh:

This is probably the main lord!

Sure enough, the masked man came directly to Yang Lu, opened the mouth and said in a hoarse voice: "You are Yang Lu!"

Yang Lu didn't know The other party's bottom line is only a slight nod, which is regarded as agreeing with the other party's statement.

The masked guest didn't care about his cautious attitude, but looked up and down Yang Lu, indifferently said: "The article you sent us last time, we have officially submitted it to the client ."

"What did the client say?"

"The feedback from the client...is quite good."

Nine Provinces cultivation world The composition of the language and characters is similar to that of Chinese, and they are all a combination of "pictograph + isolated language".

After Yang Lu traveled to the cultivation world this time, it was as if he had a memory out of thin air, allowing him to read and write the language here freely, avoiding the tragedy of his becoming illiterate. It is precisely because of this that Yang Lu immediately thought of a way to change his destiny through his own knowledge after he was in trouble in his life!

The masked guest in front of him is the opportunity for him to change his fate!

Hearing the masked customer say "customer feedback is good", although Yang Lu had expected it, he still secretly sighed in relief.

As a broker acting as a transaction intermediary, it is the best strategy to bargain with both ends and take both ends. Since this masked customer dares to say "customer feedback is good", this shows that the real feedback from customers must be far more than "good"!

Although the masked client didn't tell his client what he really thought, Yang Lu felt a little weird about the client's reaction.

In any black industry, the broker as an intermediary will try to keep the information asymmetry between buyers and sellers. Only when both buyers and sellers are not aware of each other's psychological price level, can the intermediary obtain the maximum benefit from it.

This is like Earth's prostitute never allowing his girls to leave the contact information of their clients directly. Drug dealers will never reveal their upstream sources of goods to downstream buyers, and intelligence dealers will never follow up with them. Buyers reveal their intelligence sources. Masked customers take the initiative to provide customer feedback to themselves. In Yang Lu's view, this is an extremely unprofessional performance of the business level.

The unprofessional level of brokers is definitely a good thing for oneself.

Therefore, Yang Lu did not point out the problem, but showed a silly and innocent smile and said: "I knew it would be no problem! Since I dare to take over your work, I still have no problem with my own level. He is so confident!"

"Forgive me, you dare not fool me!" Hearing Yang Lu's boast, the masked man was just coldly snorted, and then asked a more sensitive question, " But I am a little curious, you can actually write a paper that makes Golden Blade Sect satisfied, where did this insight... come from?"

Yang Lu knew that lying was pointless, so he directly Nunuzui said: "Inquiring about the background of our gunmen doesn't seem to conform to the rules of your profession! As long as I can write enough academic articles for my clients, I can make you paper brokers earn a lot of money. Isn't that enough?"

That's right, Yang Lu's first job in the cultivation world was to be a shooter for the cultivator, writing academic papers!
