The Fourth Financial Crisis

Public opinion is the easiest thing to be influenced.

Xi Jinhu, who is known as the "Literary Giant of Zhongzhou", was able to successfully reverse the direction of public opinion in Zhongzhou's cultivation world with just one short essay, and he also made full use of the weaknesses of human nature.

In the early hunting process, humans often faced many very complex emergencies, such as suddenly encountering large beasts during hunting. At this time, hunters needed to make a decision as soon as possible. Should they hunt? Or run away?

In such an unexpected situation, hunters have no time to slowly weigh the pros and cons and must quickly make decisions. Therefore, the human brain has gradually formed a thinking habit of simplifying complex problems. For example, many people like Labeling others (even organizations and countries) with simple labels like "good guys" and "bad guys" and evaluating others through these crude labels is the so-called halo effect.

However, human nature has always been complex and multi-dimensional, especially in the life-and-death competition of cultivation. All cultivators are exquisite egoists, and there cannot be pure good guys and bad guys.

Not all of us are cultivating hard for the purpose of immortality and becoming a master. Who practices cultivation to be a good person?

Li Feiyu can cultivate to the golden elixir stage, so of course he is not a purely good person. So Xi Jinhu seized on Li Feiyu's biggest black spot, launched a fierce attack, and used very clever narrative techniques. He first mentioned Ye Chen's tragic experience to win public sympathy, and labeled him a "tragic hero". Let’s introduce Li Feiyu’s despicable behind-the-scenes tactics, and naturally label Li Feiyu, who is against Ye Chen, as a “bad guy”.

Through this method of turning corruption into magic, Xi Jinhu successfully resolved the negative impression that Li Feiyu's black material had left on ordinary people.

This article not only made Xi Jinhu famous among the top leaders of the Wuliang Sword Sect, but even Tian Daxiao couldn't help but sigh after reading it, saying that Zhongzhou is worthy of being the leader of the Kyushu cultivation world, and there are so many talents under the command of the Wuliang Sword Sect!

Ye Chen, a quasi-qi-refining disciple of the Infinite Sword Sect, has become a very famous tragic figure in Zhongzhou because he accepted a highly biased interview with "Xu Zhen Financial Weekly". This can be regarded as a hero created by the times in a sense. .

However, the Shenhuo Sect will definitely not give up.

Soon, the Huoyunzhou section of Xiuzhen Financial Weekly published several more articles slandering the Wuliang Sword Sect, and the Wuliang Sword Sect also refuted them one by one. The public opinion war between the two sides was back and forth, very fierce, but everyone was smearing air-to-air, so no one side had the upper hand.

Although the Shenhuo Sect and the Infinite Sword Sect had a heated argument in the Xiuzhen Financial Weekly, this did not affect the normal personnel appointments and dismissals of the Lingshi Reserve Bank.

According to the practice set by Governor Lu that year, the newly appointed Governor of the Lingshi Reserve Bank also needs to personally organize a press conference to explain his monetary policy line to the major forces in Kyushu in order to stabilize the market's expectations for monetary policy.

Because the interests and merits involved in the Lingshi Reserve Bank are very huge, the seven major sects in Kyushu are all paying close attention to the monetary policy arrangements in the "post-Li Qingyang era". The six overlord-level sects have sent their highest-level representatives from the late Jindan stage to Lingshi. The headquarters of the Reserve Bank is preparing to communicate with the new governor Yuntianhua in person.

When the Law Enforcement Hall arrested Li Feiyu, a late-stage Golden Elixir monk, they only dispatched three mid-stage Golden Elixir monks, and they did not even take action against late-stage Golden Elixir masters. Of course, it was not because the Law Enforcement Hall could not produce late-stage Golden Elixir masters of the same strength. It's because most of the high-end combat power of the Law Enforcement Hall has been assigned to be responsible for the preparations for this press conference. It is really impossible to send extra manpower to arrest Li Feiyu. Otherwise, no matter how strong Li Feiyu is, he will never be able to escape. The dragnet of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Today's Zhongzhou cultivation world is not peaceful.

With the substantial bankruptcy of Luo's Commercial Bank, many retail cultivators fell into serious financial difficulties because of purchasing the non-performing assets of Luo's Commercial Bank. A large number of non-performing assets and defaulted bonds fell into the hands of the receivers, and even even Overseas cultivators are involved, and the scope of the incident is the largest since the third Lingshi Financial Crisis. Moreover, these retail investors who bought non-performing assets and defaulted bonds are not like large institutions and organizations such as the Haiya Chamber of Commerce and the Mountain Eagle Sect, which can directly come to inspect or freeze the real estate of Lowe's Commercial Bank. Most of the retail investors who do not have the ability to confiscate their homes will eventually have to Facing the end of losing all their money, some unlucky people even owed a debt to the bank.

The Lingshi Reserve Bank's delay in providing a solution also aggravated the pessimism of retail investors. Everyone thought that President Li Qingyang would come up with a reliable solution before his death. However, Li Qingyang could not come up with a reliable solution until the end. He did not give any explanation, but chose to leave the mess to Lin Jianxing and Yuntianhua, which became the direct fuse that ignited the powder keg.

Since everyone knows that the press conference of the new president of the Lingshi Reserve Bank will be attended by bigwigs from the cultivation world from all over the Kyushu world, desperate retail cultivators have begun to communicate with each other privately, preparing to go to Lingshi together. There was a commotion at the Reserve Bank headquarters, making big news in front of the big guys in the overseas cultivation world.

The average cultivation level of these bankrupt cultivators is not high, but their number is very large, and even the Wuliang Sword Sect cannot take them lightly.

In order to prevent the situation from escalating, the Wuliang Sword Sect has officially issued a decree requiring all local sects to strictly restrain their disciples. If a large number of disciples from a local sect come to the Wuliang Sword Sect to cause trouble, the sect will be directly downgraded to the lowest level in the sect evaluation that year;

The local sects have also issued internal regulations one after another. All disciples who go to the Wuliangjian Sect headquarters for armed demonstrations will have their salaries suspended for ten to fifty years, and will be exempted from all errands and reduced to handyman disciples. In serious cases, they will be punished. They may even be directly expelled from the sect, and all the heavenly merits obtained from the sect will be deducted according to the sect rules.

Although the Wuliang Sword Sect and various vassal sects have formulated the most severe disciplinary measures, due to the large number of cultivators affected by the debt crisis of Luo's Trading Company, the Wuliang Sword Sect cannot guarantee its infallibility, and the Law Enforcement Hall is still facing a formidable enemy. .

During the recent period, almost all the masters of the Law Enforcement Hall who are in the foundation-building stage and above, unless they are performing special tasks, have all been transferred to the outskirts of the Wuliang Mountains to intercept the troublemakers. In just a few days, dozens of people who were preparing to start a big plot at the Lingshi Reserve Bank were captured. Among the saboteurs of the news was a bankrupt foundation-building cultivator with extremely superb concealment skills. He actually carried several spiritual energy mines and a large number of leaflets calling for injustice, broke through three layers of encirclement in a row, and touched the big door of the Lingshi Reserve Bank. At the door, he was discovered by the late Jindan monk who was responsible for patrolling the Law Enforcement Hall with his powerful spiritual consciousness, and was finally captured alive.

This also made the senior officials of the Law Enforcement Hall break into a cold sweat.

Although there were endless cultivators who came to make trouble, fortunately, the Wuliang Sword Sect was extremely well guarded, and the final outcome was almost safe. After all the guests entered the venue, no troublemakers were able to break into the venue and cause trouble. ,
