The Fourth Financial Crisis

Pan's Trading Company is the largest financial company in the world of cultivation in Kyushu.

Since its main business, securities brokerage business, needs to rely closely on the platform of Wuliang Jianpai Stock Exchange, it is natural that the headquarters of Pan's Commercial Bank is located in Yunlai City. It is precisely because Pan's Commercial Bank is headquartered in this city , the editorial department of Xiuzhen Financial Weekly, in which it has a stake, will also be established in this city. If the official ruler of Yunlai City is the Wuliang Sword Sect, then the uncrowned king of Yunlai City is undoubtedly the powerful Pan's Trading Company!

Thinking that he had such a powerful ally as Pan's Trading Company, but ended up having to imitate the protagonist in this novel, randomly finding a local gangster as a guide, and almost being deceived, Li Qingning was so embarrassed that he hurriedly forced his way out. Hua Zhaohua said: "Then what should we do first after we enter the city? Should we attend a few auctions first?"

"What? You want to go to the auction?"

Li Qingning nodded matter-of-factly and said, "This is how it is played in the novels. The protagonist comes to a strange city and has to attend the auction immediately. Then he misses some super powerful magic weapons and kills the powerful in future battles. enemy."

Hearing the speech of his eldest daughter who had no social experience, Yang Lu said speechlessly: "The story is written like this because the auction is much more fun. Selling treasures that you don't like but are powerful in the eyes of others. Win. The people who eat melons looked in awe; He raised the price with the villain and then stopped, letting the villain smash himself in the foot with the fire cloud and gold; He bid with the villain and beat him financially, making the other party angry; He bought it I can’t afford the treasure, but I’ll kill people and seize the treasure after we’re done…”

Li Qingning asked in confusion: "Is there any problem with doing this?"

"The question is fine, but what does this have to do with us?" At this point, Yang Lu saw that Li Qingning still didn't understand what he meant, so he added, "Who holds the largest auction in Yunlai City? It's Pan Opened by Pan's Trading Company! Since we have a close relationship with Pan's Trading Company, of course we must first select some suitable treasures from the auction before the auction begins, and then let Pan's Trading Company pick out the remaining treasures for us. Let’s go to a public auction!”

Li Qingning immediately slapped his head and said: "That's right! We can definitely use the back door of Pan's Trading Company! But why doesn't this kind of back door plot seem to be arranged in the novels I've read?"

Yang Lu spread his hands and said: "How can it be fun to read about killing people and grabbing treasures through the back door? Anyway, the characters in this novel generally don't take their own lives seriously. Of course, we need to arrange more villains who take the initiative to kill people, and the protagonists kill people and grab treasures. It’s a bloody plot like this, but in a normal world, a guy like this who doesn’t take his own life seriously would never survive to adulthood.”

It must be said that Yang Lu is indeed a ruthless master of postmodern deconstruction.

Li Qingning, an older female reader of cool novels, had no choice but to say: "What you said makes sense, but I can't refute it. But how do I feel that after hearing your interpretation, the story novels I have read before will instantly become unpalatable?"

Yang Lu shrugged and said, "I just told the truth!"

"The damn truth is very unpleasant!"

"This is normal. Talking nonsense and telling the truth is never a pleasant thing."

"You are the one who makes the most lies!"

"If someone else wants to hear me talk about these big principles, I'm too lazy to talk..."

"Who...who wants special treatment from you!"

Just as the two of them were chatting endlessly about whether it would be more reasonable to kill people and seize treasures through the back door, a purple lightning bolt suddenly shot from the horizon in the distance. It seemed that it knew the location of Yang Lu and the two of them, and ran straight towards them.

Noticing this escaping light, Yang Lu smiled and said, "I didn't expect that it was our old friend who came in person!"

Before he finished speaking, Zidian Dunguang transformed into a fat young monk. He was none other than Pan Yue, a direct descendant recommended by Pan's Trading Company to the Wuliang Sword Sect and a super-popular seed player who "defeated" Li Qingning in the Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference.

"Miss Li, Consultant Yang, you two are fine!"

Yang Lu immediately smiled and clasped his fists and said, "I didn't expect that fellow Taoist Pan from the Wuliang Sword Sect would greet me in person. That's so polite!"

Hearing the pleasant title of "Fellow Daoist Pan of the Wuliang Sword Sect", the smile on Pan Yue's face became even more enthusiastic: "Miss Qingning and our Pan family are considered family friends. It is the most basic etiquette for me to come out to greet you in person! You two should follow me I'll come, let's go to the headquarters of Pan's Trading Company first, and then we can arrange a place for you."

The two of them said a few polite words to Pan Yue, and then followed Pan Yue straight to the gate of Yunlai City.

At this time, in front of the city gate, there were already hundreds of cultivators from all over Zhongzhou, queuing up to pay the gatekeepers the entry fee.

These gatekeepers are similar to the gatekeepers in Tianshu City, except that their aura is much stronger.

While collecting entry fees one by one, these Yunlai City gatekeepers more or less asked about the origins of those entering the city, as well as simple questions such as how long they planned to stay in Yunlai City. The monks who were preparing to enter the city also They all answered honestly, but only God knows whether what they said is true or false.

The gatekeeper of Yunlaicheng didn't care about this. As long as the other party paid enough money, he roughly recorded the information, then issued a temporary identity card to everyone and let them in.

Of course, Yang Lu and Li Qingning did not have to queue at all. Instead, they were led by Pan Yue and jumped into the front of the queue. Then Pan Yue took the initiative to take out an identity token from his arms and threw it out, and at the same time ordered:

"Three people, performing official duties of Pan's Trading Company!"

Several of the gatekeepers in Yunlai City were already in the middle stage of foundation building, and were no less than ordinary local sect leaders. However, after seeing the token of Pan's Trading Company, a gentle smile immediately broke out on this man's face, and there was no trace of it at all. After questioning, he hurriedly took out three identity tokens and handed them to Yang Lu and the other two, and then respectfully stepped aside. With this reserved attitude, he was like a domestic slave kept by Pan's Trading Company!

Even Yang Lu couldn't help but sigh. The Pan family, the richest man in Zhongzhou, is indeed rich and powerful. The foundation-building guard in front of him finally became a master through practice, but in front of the cultivation capitalists, he immediately turned back into a flatterer. .

Just as the three of them were jumping in line to enter the city, there was a commotion among the monks at the end of the line.

After all, their behavior of jumping in line was indeed somewhat blatant.

Among them, a few monks from other places who didn't know the truth loudly shouted: "Isn't Yunlai City the Yunlai City of Wuliang Sword Sect? Why can someone jump in the queue in broad daylight? Is there any royal method for this!"

When he heard that someone was taking the lead in seeking death, the leader of the gatekeepers suddenly became pale.

He calmly took two steps forward, letting out a little of the Foundation Establishment Stage aura from his body, and at the same time shouted sharply: "Who are you? You dare to teach us how to do things in Yunlaicheng?"

After being locked by the high-level monk's aura, the low-level monk will feel the instinctive fear of being targeted by a beast from his own consciousness. Especially when the gap between the two sides exceeds a large realm, this fear will become clearer. . The non-local monks who lined up to make noises were only in the late stage of Qi refining. They were forced by the spiritual pressure of the foundation-building monks. These people felt their breathing tightened and were forced to take a few steps back. Their faces were filled with horror. expression.
