The Fourth Financial Crisis

Although Yang Lu didn't plan to open a securities account, Pan Yue's words gave him a wake-up call.

As the takeover of Yangjiang Port gradually gets on track, and the reforms of Tian Daxiao, the head of the Shenhuo Sect, continue to deepen, the long-term upward path for Huoyunzhou's assets has been opened. It is said that Tian Daxiao is planning to list more asset operations. In the future, we will wait for the Qingning Chamber of Commerce After the cash flow is sufficient, you can consider investing in Huoyunzhou assets directly in the capital market.

If it were any other Zhongzhou cultivator, it would not be that easy to invest in Huoyunzhou stocks.

However, Yang Lu has a background in both Lingshi Reserve Bank and Haiya Group, and there are many channels for transferring assets externally. For example, the investment plan to acquire Yangjiang Port was specially approved by Lingshi Reserve Bank. With both the underworld and the white roads working, the only problem is that the Qingning Chamber of Commerce still lacks sufficient liquidity!

The lack of liquidity is not just a problem for the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. Almost all cultivation chambers of commerce are now facing similar difficulties.

Unlike the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, which has the liquidity support of Haiya Bank, it is said that some sects with financial difficulties have even found it difficult to pay the salaries of sect members.

Li Qingning easily bought the Luanshicheng Xuantie Mine from the Guyun Sect; almost all the magic-breaking crossbows passed down by the founder of the Mountain Eagle Sect were pawned by Chen Ming; The golden light array has been in disrepair for a long time...

Behind the chaos in the management of these local sects is actually a manifestation of the financial difficulties of each sect.

Nowadays, the price of cultivation resources continues to rise, while the fiscal revenue of various sects continues to fall. This dilemma has also put the Lingshi Reserve Bank's monetary policy in a dilemma.

Even if unlimited quantitative easing is used to limit the finances of various sects, it will only be able to temporarily maintain the financial income of the sects, but the price of cultivation resources will inevitably skyrocket further.

In the final analysis, what cultivators need are cultivation resources and merits, not spiritual stone coins that can neither be eaten nor drunk. If they just want to obtain cultivation resources and merits, they need to drive a large number of mortals to work and serve, and improve the overall productivity level of society.

However, the excessive gap between the rich and the poor has caused a large area of ​​ordinary people to lie flat for a long time. Even like Japanese dead houses, they have begun to resist the exploitation of cultivators through self-extinction. This is no longer a problem that monetary policy can solve.

If Yang Lu's prediction is correct, the fourth Lingshi financial crisis may not be far away...

But it was too early to think about this now. He quickly came to his senses and continued to ask Pan Yue for advice: "By the way, fellow Taoist Pan, how on earth does your Pan's Trading Company ensure that the market prices displayed on the video wall can be updated in real time? Pan's Although the trading house and the Haiya Chamber of Commerce have business relationships, it seems that they have not sent any staff to Haiya City!"

"Live Update?"

Pan Yueguang felt sore. After hearing Yang Lu's question, it took him a long time to show an expression as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Forcibly looking away from Li Qingning's long legs, Pan Yue said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Ahem, Fellow Daoist Yang is asking about the real-time market conditions of the video wall... What you don't know is that Pan's Trading Company is a membership-based trading platform. Transaction data are maintained by the major exchanges themselves. For example, the Haiya Chamber of Commerce is solely responsible for maintaining the transaction data of the Haiya Commodity Exchange and transmitting it to the video wall through the fairy formation. If the Haiya Chamber of Commerce inputs it to the video wall If there is an error in the data, the loss caused will be 100% borne by Haiya Chamber of Commerce, and we, Pan's Commercial Bank, are not responsible."

I see!

This institutional arrangement is undoubtedly beneficial to Pan's Trading Company and not beneficial to major exchanges.

However, for major commodity exchanges, traffic and trading volume are always the most important things. The benefits of accessing Pan's trading platform are obviously greater than the disadvantages, so they accept this with pinched noses. arrange. From this we can also see how high Pan's Commercial Bank's industry status is in the financial community of Jiuzhou!

Yang Lu nodded thoughtfully, and then continued to ask: "You just said that these data are input through the immortal array, which means that the people responsible for inputting transaction data in major exchanges are mortal clerks, not cultivators? "

Pan's Trading Company smiled proudly and said: "Of course, the time cost of cultivators is too high, and it is impossible to use it to do this kind of mechanical work. We all operate through the method of 'mortal clerk + immortal formation', you guys are golden The head of Daomen Zeng Zhiquan is a master in the field of "Immortal Formation Logic", and he did a lot of effort for us to develop this market system back then."

Similar to "Cultivation Economics", "Lingshi Monetary Science", and "School Management", "Immortal Formation Logic" is also a theoretical system with the characteristics of cultivation. The founder is the female palm of the Shenxiao Sect 7,000 years ago. Menyelen.

Yang Lu had just entered his first class in the field of cultivation when Xu Yannan introduced him to the underlying principles of immortality and immortal formations.

Just as immortal arts are composed of basic formulas and handprints, the immortal array is also composed of basic functional units of modular arrays. However, there are many types of basic functional units of these arrays, so various complex functions can be realized. The underlying principle of the Immortal Formation effect is quite similar to object-oriented interpreted high-level programming languages ​​such as Python.

If the formation masters in the world of cultivation are compared to programmers on earth writing programs, then the unique logic language of formations in the world of cultivation can be said to have a very high level of abstraction and a very powerful class library. When building formations, it is easy to It is necessary to reinvent the wheel, and the development efficiency is very high. Often a single module can realize very complex and advanced functions.

But the shortcomings of this high-level language are also obvious.

Since the basic functional unit of the formation itself cannot be changed, and the underlying principle is completely a technical black box, the formation master is not so much a programmer in the world of cultivation as a Lego player in the world of cultivation.

They can only build Lego blocks, use whatever modules they have on hand, and solve problems according to local conditions. If a key module production method is lost, it means that an important function cannot be called. This is why the array master is very It is difficult to reproduce many ancient formations because modern cultivators can no longer do many key functional modules!

This has led to the outrageous phenomenon that "technology relies on archaeology, and the older it gets, the stronger it becomes" often appears in the world of cultivation.

Fortunately, array masters can understand the structure of unfamiliar functional modules by disassembling existing arrays, so the loss of this key array module is not serious, otherwise the array would have declined long ago.

The greatest historical contribution of the head of the Shenxiao Sect, Ye Lun, is to compile the basic functional modules of most of the formations in the Jiuzhou cultivation world and write the "Fundamentals of Immortal Formation Logic", a must-have reference book for today's formation masters.

Pan's Trading Company's photo wall looks like just a board showing market trends, but it is actually a software-level application that can realize such complex functions through the basic fairy array module. The chief programmer behind this set of fairy arrays (Array Master) ), Zeng Zhiquan, the current head of the Golden Knife Sect, can be said to have quite a good level of "Immortal Formation Logic".

In fact, Li Qingyang really considered letting Zeng Zhiquan take over as the fourth president of Lingshi Reserve Bank.

But Zeng Zhiquan is, after all, an immortal logician, not a cultivation economist.

As the chairman of the Wuliangjianpai Stock Exchange, he is considered a professional counterpart, but if he serves as the president of the Lingshi Reserve Bank, he will be a little unable to do what he wants. Otherwise, with Zeng Zhiquan's authority, he will obviously be more convincing than Yuntianhua.
