The Fourth Financial Crisis

No matter where in the world, being a traitor is the most dangerous thing.

Even if Zhu Ziming concludes that Liu Hanxing and Lin Jianxing, the leader of the Wuliang Sword Sect behind him, will become the biggest winners in the "post-Li Qingyang era", under normal circumstances, he is unlikely to change his banner easily.

It's just that the personal grudge between him and Yang Lu is too deep.

After witnessing Murong detecting the holy spiritual root, he was always worried about Yang Lu and Murong's revenge.

After all, the thugs he sent to "teach" Murong, as well as the assassins from Tingheyuge who he encouraged to assassinate Yang Lu, all left and never returned. As long as any of them revealed his identity, he would probably be in trouble. Walk along.

In this case, the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce must have strong enough self-protection capabilities as soon as possible.

And Liu Hanxing, the eldest disciple of Lin Jianxing, the leader of the Wuliang Sword Sect, is undoubtedly the most suitable partner for the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce.

If Lin Jianxing can take the lead in the reform of the social security system in Zhongzhou, the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce will naturally be included in the political reform roadmap of the Wuliang Sword Sect. Even if Murong is Lin Jianxing's apprentice, he cannot easily do anything to him!

After all, the cultivation social security system is related to the major policies of the Wuliang Sword Sect. As long as he can carry this banner, not to mention the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, even the Haiya Chamber of Commerce will respect him.

But in the final analysis, the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce is just a mortal chamber of commerce, and its business is limited to the southeastern coastal areas of Zhongzhou. The only senior member of the Liujia Chamber of Commerce who can be contacted is Liu Qi, the regional director. It happened that Liu Qi, under the instruction of Liu Hanxing, was planning an action against Tianshu City, so he betrayed Lu Anping and submitted a letter of nomination for the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce.

It's just that this behavior is extremely risky. If the plan is leaked, the first person Liu Hanxing will pull out to take the blame will be the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce!

Even Yang Lu didn't expect that Zhu Ziming would directly hit the muzzle of his gun.

Now, as long as he secretly reveals Zhu Ziming's conspiracy to either Lu Anping or Fang Jiancai, he may immediately kill the entire Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce.

However, after grasping the fatal handle of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce, Yang Lu was no longer anxious. He weighed the pros and cons and said with a smile: "Since your Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce is also working for Elder Liu, then everyone is one of our own. I know that Fellow Daoist Zhu came to me specifically, but is there anything you need my help with?"

Zhu Ziming was worried about how to ask for help, but he didn't expect that this "Mr. He" was so good at asking for help and actually brought up the matter on his own initiative.

As expected of Liu Hanxing’s friend, his emotional intelligence is indeed high!

Zhu Ziming rubbed his hands excitedly and said: "Our Zhujia Chamber of Commerce has made great efforts in this Tianshu City operation, and we are basically handling the customs in Haiya City. But after all, I did not interact with Elder Liu personally. Communication is inevitably not smooth. I am worried that Elder Liu, who has been practicing hard in seclusion for many years, may not understand the work we have done recently..."

Zhu Ziming didn't know the relationship between Yang Lu and Liu Qi, so he spoke very tactfully.

But the meaning he conveyed was still very clear.

Liu Hanxing has been in seclusion all year round to meditate on sutras and practice hard. When he comes out of seclusion occasionally, he listens to Liu Qi and other close subordinates reporting on work and makes important decisions. It is impossible to meet small fish and shrimps like the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce in person.

Zhu Ziming was worried that Liu Qi would be jealous of the achievements of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce and take all the credit for the Tianshu City operation on himself.

This worry is not unreasonable.

The more centralized an organization is, the more serious the information cocoon effect of leaders will be. Even in the 21st century with highly developed information, the power of leaders around people cannot be underestimated.

Although the leadership secretary does not have the power to make decisions for the leader, he can decide what the leader can see. If the leader cannot see something, let alone make a decision on the matter.

In a world like the Kyushu Cultivation World, where the strong are respected, Liu Hanxing is the local emperor of the Liu family. As a trusted subordinate who is directly responsible for Liu Hanxing, Liu Qi, even if he does not take credit for the Zhu family Chamber of Commerce, it is only in terms of narrative. A little bias can affect Liu Hanxing's view of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce.

In this case, if Zhu Ziming can have another channel to transmit information, he can greatly improve his disadvantage of information asymmetry.

Yang Lu is so smart, of course he understands what Zhu Ziming means.

However, he still pretended to be puzzled and said: "Elder Liu is a person who pursues the path of immortality. Even if he is cultivating merit, he always focuses on major world affairs. He will definitely not waste too much energy on small matters between chambers of commerce..."

Zhu Ziming was not sure whether Yang Lu was pretending to be stupid, so he spoke more bluntly: "Because of this, I hope Mr. He can truthfully introduce the work done by our Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce in front of Elder Liu."

"That's not impossible." Yang Lu just seemed to be about to relent, but suddenly the topic changed, "But I have just met Daoist Zhu Zhu, and we don't have much friendship. It doesn't seem to be of any benefit to me to do this favor." !”

Yang Lu's words to this extent are no different from openly asking for bribes.

However, Zhu Ziming's expression did not change at all, and his smile even became stronger: "Of course I won't let Fellow Daoist He's help go in vain!"

Then I saw him take out a ten-thousand-yuan Lingshi coin note from his arms and quietly stuff it into Yang Lu's pocket.

For bribers, they are not afraid that the bribe recipient will receive money, but they are afraid that the bribe recipient will not do things. As long as you are willing to accept money, then we are in the same boat!

Yang Lu watched Zhu Ziming's 10,000-yuan note go into his pocket. He didn't mean to refuse. Instead, he gently touched the sword box behind him and said as if he meant something: "Friend Zhu, He just said The Surge Flying Sword I took is worth a full 70,000 yuan in spiritual stone coins!"

Zhu Ziming was completely shocked by Yang Lu's greed.

I just asked you to give Elder Liu Hanxing a message for me. It’s not enough for you to accept a huge sum of 10,000 yuan in spirit stone coins. You even hinted at me to help reimburse the luxurious flying sword worth 70,000 yuan in spirit stone coins?

I heard that the killers of Heyu Pavilion are not as dark as you!

Zhu Ziming looked at Yang Lu's pocket and wanted to tell him: "If you are unwilling to do something for me, can you please return the 10,000 yuan spirit stone coin to me?"

But looking at Yang Lu's nonchalant look, it was obvious that he had no intention of returning the 10,000 yuan note. Even though Zhu Ziming was used to commercial bribery, he had never seen such a shameless person!

Under Yang Lu's interested gaze, Zhu Ziming finally reluctantly took out three 10,000-yuan Lingshi coin banknotes: "Fellow Daoist He, I came to Tianshu City this time for official business, and I really don't have any spare money. You can take these 30,000 yuan spirit stone coins first, and if you have time to come to Haiya City as a guest in the future, I will do my best to serve as a landlord."

"Since Fellow Taoist Zhu is so enthusiastic, you, my friend, He have decided to make a deal!" As if he was afraid that Zhu Ziming would change his mind, Yang Lu directly reached out and took the three large bills, without giving the other party the slightest chance to regret.

The pained expression on Zhu Ziming's face was not an act.

Although the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce has a great business, they are just Lu Anping's white gloves after all. Most of the chamber of commerce's profits were taken away by Lu Anping, leaving little profit for the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce itself.

Even the landlord has no food left at home!

After getting the windfall, Yang Lu asked with a smile: "Since I want to introduce the situation to Elder Liu, I still need to know some things in advance. For example, how do you plan to frame Lu Anping? Is it just relying on a few spiritual energy mines of unknown origin? ?”
