I changed the world

Zhang Jing glanced at Andre, and then said in an indifferent tone: "That is the junction of illusion and reality. For some reason, that existence tried to come here..."

The translation coming from the earphones still made Andre feel confused. However, the word "arrival" still made him subconsciously feel cold in his heart. He had faced such a natural disaster in the first place. , deeply understand what kind of catastrophe will occur if such a existence comes...

Seeing that the other party did not continue to explain clearly, Andre only felt that the Taoist priest in front of him was very unpredictable, so he could only say more respectfully: "Dear Master, I don't know, has this incident been completely resolved? ?”

"Look, there are a lot of residents nearby. Do we need to move these people to a safer place?"

"Don't worry, the matter here is over." After saying that, Zhang Jing glanced at Andre, who was still waiting to ask questions, and waved his sleeves: "I'll say this, and we'll see you again." With that, he disappeared directly. on the spot……

"Master..." Andre hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade him to stay, but found that the person in front of him had disappeared. He didn't even see clearly how the other person disappeared.

........................

At this time, Zhang Jing had returned to Lishan Cave Heaven. In fact, the fragments of the mural "Bright Red Sacrifice" no longer pose any danger in the mystical sense after the death of the evil god Leonis. However, , after all, that thing once recorded an evil god sacrifice, Zhang Jing decided to take it back just to be on the safe side.

As for the two employees of the "Historical Relics Protection Research Foundation" who went to purchase the painting and were affected, in a sense, they were also victims of the "side effects" of the wish. Zhang Jing was ready to turn around and use the foundation to They would be given a separate "condolence money" in the name of Jiang Shanlin. Of course, this would be after Jiang Shanlin reported the cause and effect of the incident to him, and he was not prepared to say hello now without knowing the future.

As for whether the foundation itself will attract official attention because of this incident, Zhang Jing feels that if something like this happens, it will definitely attract some attention and investigation. However, the foundation itself is only an ordinary charity so far. The organization did not take any extraordinary actions.Therefore, after some investigation, there is a high probability that it will only be considered a coincidence, and there is no need to worry too much.

Chapter 476: The aftermath of the incident

However, what happened this time also reminded Zhang Jing that the original intention of the establishment of the foundation was to collect for himself those leftovers from ancient times around the world, including occult knowledge. A relic of value.

It can be seen from this incident that such things are actually quite dangerous under certain circumstances, and all employees of the Foundation are currently composed of ordinary people. So once encountering such danger, Relevant staff may encounter unpredictable risks.

On the other hand, this time the Foundation is involved in a supernatural anomaly, there is a high probability that it will be regarded as a coincidence by the relevant departments. However, if it happens a second time or a third time in the future...then the Foundation will most likely be taken into account by some organizations. Registration focuses on attention.After all, this coincidence itself is worth pondering for some people, why are you always there?Are you doing something special?In this way, every move of the foundation will be put under a magnifying glass for consideration, which is not what Zhang Jing wants to see.

Therefore, he was planning to arrange for special "professionals" to be responsible for the acquisition of extraordinary items to avoid incidents like this happening again.

In the study, Zhang Jing was answering Jiang Shanlin's cell phone call.

"OK, all right……"

"Well... Zhixing, don't be nervous, find out what happened first..."

"Um……"

"Well...if they're going to ask something, just tell the truth."

"Well, we are a legal and compliant public welfare foundation, so don't worry."

"Well... your guess makes sense. I think it is possible..."

"Yes, you are right to think so. First try to find out what happened and see if you can contact someone to make sure they are okay."

"Yes... pay attention to appease their emotions. The foundation will not treat those who work seriously."

"In terms of rewards, punishments and incentives, you should consider it appropriately...I won't say more."

"Well, that's it. You do it first. If you really can't solve it, then tell me..."

"Okay...well, I always feel at ease when you do things."

"That's it, goodbye."

Zhang Jing put down his cell phone. As he expected, just now, he received a call from Jiang Shanlin. Jiang Shanlin looked a little uneasy on the phone. He said that there were some problems with the employees of Grande Distribution, and it seemed that they were involved. A vicious case occurred. The specifics of what happened are still unclear. We only know roughly that it should be related to a recent cultural relic acquisition case.

Early this morning, a sergeant from the Grand St. Fort Police Department called to inquire about the acquisition, saying that it involved two overseas employees of the foundation.

At that time, a middle-level manager in charge of overseas business of the foundation answered the call. After a brief communication, the middle-level manager found that the matter seemed complicated, so he used the excuse that the president had not yet returned to work, and the two parties agreed to communicate again at a later time.

After Jiang Shanlin got the news, he immediately mobilized the company's personnel to learn the details of the matter through various channels. On the other hand, he urgently contacted a well-known local law firm in St. Francis, who would also send lawyers to follow up on the matter. .

After that, Jiang Shanlin and his lawyer carefully reviewed the acquisition. The acquisition order was issued by the foundation, and the target was a mural "Bright Red Sacrifice" that the chairman was interested in. What is certain is that there is no problem with the acquisition itself. The subject matter itself does not involve any transactions such as cultural relic smuggling, the property rights are clear, and there are no local laws prohibiting similar transactions.

The collection of information about the incident quickly became clear. The local online media in St. Francis reported that there was a terrorist attack on the local 8th Street. Some criminals attacked several luxury residences. These people were armed and even attacked the police. A fierce gun battle ensued.The incident resulted in the deaths of many people, including local celebrity Lord Wheeler and his butler...

It seems that the foundation's acquisition was accidentally attacked by robbers... Jiang Shanlin and several foundation executives quickly made this judgment. Since the deceased involved local nobles, there was indeed some trouble. Fortunately, , the foundation personnel should have just been involved. Jiang Shanlin did not think that his employees would have anything to do with the robbers.

Naturally, Chairman Zhang Jing had to be notified as soon as possible about this kind of thing, so the above phone call was made.

..............................

Today is a nice sunny day, and the sun is shining brightly. Xiaotian is chasing a butterfly in the yard. This puppy grows very fast, changing almost every day. Looking at the way it runs freely now, its size is already the same as that of an adult. The Shiba Inu is almost old, you know, this is still a puppy that has not been completely weaned.

After putting down the phone, Zhang Jing stood at the window and watched Xiao Tian active in the yard for a while, then sat back at his desk and closed his eyes to rest, thinking about what to do next.

In addition to daily practice, the activation of figurines should be placed as the top priority in the next step, which will greatly enhance one's potential strength.He plans to divide these figurines into two parts. One part is naturally to continue the planned layout and improve the planned "mysterious world".

On the other hand, as his stall gets bigger and bigger, Zhang Jing often feels a little overwhelmed, and he also needs some strong and trustworthy people to take care of some trivial things for him.

For example, he has now discovered several ancient ruins. In addition to a large number of extraordinary items, there are also many valuable ordinary cultural relics, jewelry, and precious metal artifacts. These items can theoretically be exchanged for a large amount of wealth in the cultural relics market.

After all, Zhang Jing still has quite a lot of money to spend at present and in the future. He doesn't want to always rely on gambling to solve financial problems. It is still necessary to enrich the sources of funds.And these cultural relics to be sold are a ready-made "gold mine."

Of course, Zhang Jing is not an expert in this field. How to operate all this requires specialized people to be responsible. Because the source of these items is too sensitive, Zhang Jing cannot leave it to Jiang Shanlin or recruit other ordinary people to handle it. Here , figurines are a good choice.

Although, with Li Jingxin coming to power, Yunxiao Mountain will provide a large amount of funds to "Kunlun" through hidden channels every year, but these funds are all handed over to Zhang Taihe and will be used in the future. The construction of various aspects of the sect is not planned to be combined with his personal investment.

Therefore, it is quite necessary to further accumulate wealth. In the future, there will be more and more places where money needs to be invested.

In addition, as time goes by, more and more government forces will inevitably begin to intervene, and various intelligence collection methods will inevitably be used to spy on the extraordinary world. So, what will he do about it? He must also prepare early. He needs an expert who truly understands this aspect to help him find and fill in the gaps.After all, neither he nor Zhang Taihe are professionals in this field.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Zhang Jing was slightly startled. He noticed that the mole cricket that he had almost forgotten seemed to have made some discoveries.

Chapter 477 Cleansing Up One

承和37年西历2016年3月22日10:35临州东城区青眼巷

In the main hall of the largest mansion with white walls and black tiles in Qingyan Alley, Zhu Qizheng was sitting on a top chair, looking calmly at a dozen men with different expressions sitting at the bottom. These people are all Liantai Club can currently do. He has summoned all the mid-level and high-level cadres who can speak to him here today.

Sitting on the left side of his hand, Miao Yuzhu, who was dressed in a women's official uniform and dressed quite formally, was talking eloquently: "... Preparations have already begun, and the name is "Lotus Children's Education Foundation." It is mainly aimed at the children of poor families in our Linzhou slums. The first batch of pilot projects is to support 100 children to complete basic basic education. The specific funding conditions need to be further finalized, but in general, it can be ensured through visits to the associations to ensure that the funding can reach The poor people who need it most………”

"...The preliminary filing and other work has been completed, and the work related to the qualification application is in progress. It is expected that the results will be available early next month. At present, we have even received additional support from some caring people. In addition to the funds provided by the society, the foundation has also External donations can be received at the same time..."

"Miss Miao, you worked hard this time for running around for the foundation." When Miao Yuzhu finished speaking, Zhu Qi smiled and nodded slightly at her.At the same time, look at the others and wait.

"These days, I heard some people gossiping about what charity the underworld does? It's better to share the money with the brothers and drink..." Zhu Qi said slowly, and there was a sudden whisper below.

"To talk about this matter, if it weren't for the dream of Tianzun and his old man, I, Lao Qi, wouldn't have been able to turn the corner just by relying on my brain..."

The discussion below became even louder, and Zhu Qi reached out and pressed it, making a quiet gesture, and then said:

"Today, let's not talk about Tianzun's dream, let's talk about our club..."

Zhu Qi first slowly talked about the troubles of the founders of Liantai Society. Seeing that the other people's discussions gradually stopped, he continued: "...We did do some business that was not mentioned in this way before, and others also did it. They regard us as gangsters, but to put it bluntly, so many brothers in the society have to eat, and the inheritance passed down by the ancestors cannot be broken in our generation, so it is excusable after all..."

"But, those who play black, those who play gray... this is not a long-term solution after all. Look at how many of our brothers are still squatting in the cell, and to be honest, most of the old brothers present are also If you have a young family, which one of you wants your juniors to also eat this dishonorable meal?"

"Whitewashing is not something that can be accomplished in a day or two, and I don't want the association to give up all the properties at once..." After Zhu Qi finished speaking, some of the leaders below him breathed a sigh of relief.After all, many people sitting here have more or less interests in it, and giving up all of a sudden will inevitably damage the interests of many people.

"However, in this kind of thing, there is always a first step. And this charity is the first step to clear your name..." Zhu Qi said, picking up the teacup on the coffee table and taking a sip, as if casually He looked at the expressions of the people below.

"Brother Qi, what you said is nice, but if you know this, what can you do? We just eat this bowl of rice..." A bald man with a gold chain around his neck looked quite handsome. Fiercely, he reached out to pick his teeth and said.

This person is a confidant of the previous hall leader Wang Deyao, named Deng Gui. He is also the current chief executive of the society and is in charge of the business operations within the society.When Wang Deyao was arrested before, he escaped because he was not at the scene. He is currently the de facto number two figure in the society.Usually relying on his seniority, he doesn't have much respect for Zhu Qi, who is currently acting as the hall leader. It is said that there are many words of boycott in private.

"Agui, what you said is wrong. Seventh brother has been thinking a lot about our club... that... um... I have lost a lot of weight in the past few days. Why? Isn't it to find a way out for the brothers... ...If this can be a glamorous job, who would want to hide from the local rats and be manipulated by the gentry all day long..." The second fat man on the side immediately interjected, as a brother who once "shared hardships" with Zhu Qi, the second fat man is now being Zhu Qi promoted him to be a club assistant, and he belonged to the typical Zhu Qi faction.

"Hey, Fatty Er, you are such a high-profile singer. If it were so easy to clear your name, Master Yao wouldn't be still in there now. Speaking of which, I think the top priority right now is not to discuss how to clear your name, but to find a way to fish out Master Yao. This is the right thing to do..." Deng Gui sneered and said happily.

After Deng Gui spoke, two more middle-level cadres spoke up to help, both of whom agreed with Deng Gui's statement.

"Hahaha, what you said makes sense. However, the things Yao Ye and the brothers committed this time are not small. It is not easy for me to find them out. Isn't it that Qi Ye is busy these days? Well, in my opinion, everyone should calm down and listen to what Master Qi has arranged..." Ni Loach suddenly said from the side. Ni Loach's scientific name is Wang Zhonghu. He was originally a Lanqi in the society and was considered a middle-level cadre. , since a car accident happened at night and was rescued by Zhu Qi, he has been leaning towards Zhu Qi intentionally or unintentionally during several ceremonies.

After Loach opened his mouth, Deng Gui seemed to want to say something else, but his sleeve was pulled by another companion on the side, apparently unwilling to make the situation too ugly.Deng Gui then snorted coldly and remained silent for the time being.

Zhu Qi ignored Deng Gui, who looked ugly, and said calmly: "Everyone can think about it, which business is the most profitable these days?"

"When it comes to making money, of course the most profitable thing is to do things that violate the king's laws...the money-making activities are all written in the criminal law..." Deng Tong smiled.

"Yes, it is natural to make money by breaking the king's law, but it is not a stable business. Looking at so many brothers, there are many aspects that need to be taken care of..." Zhu Qi said slowly.

"Except for things that violate the king's law, the high-tech industry has been developing very fast in the past few years. The news is different every day. Deep space exploration has already begun. Next, I am afraid there will not be large-scale colonization. Unfortunately, in the community Most of my brothers are rough people, and I'm afraid they won't be able to do those high-tech jobs. Now, we still have to dig for food on this three-thirds of an acre..."

"I was thinking about the seven things to do when opening a business: firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea. When it comes to making money, monopoly business is the most profitable..."

"Brother Qi, I'm afraid this job is not easy to do. All these businesses are in the hands of the gentry..." A short and fat man interjected from the side. Obviously, they are all sensible people. Zhu Qiyi mentioned that many people I already knew what business he was talking about.

Chapter 478 Cleansing Up [-]

"That's right, if we want to do those businesses such as water, electricity, communications, etc., they all have owners. If we want to intervene, we are taking food from others. Those gentry and wealthy people are not vegetarians. I said, naturally That's not it."

"What does seventh brother mean?"

"Start with those places that the gentry despise. For example, the slums..." Zhu Qi reached out and knocked on the armrest of the chair: "As long as it is a big city, there are slums, and most of you come from the slums. You should know that this Things will definitely appear as long as the city grows in size. Among other things, there are more than twenty slums of various sizes in Linzhou..."

"In recent years, the government has also tried to control it, but the thunder is loud, the raindrops are light, and it is mostly just a gust of wind. In this slum, what should be done, so on... Those gentry and lords probably don't like this either. Small money.”

"However, in my opinion, there is a lot of potential for business in this slum..." Zhu Qi said with a smile: "Everyone knows that not all the people in this slum are poor. Some employees from surrounding companies come to the big cities to make a living. Many young people, those who run small businesses, also live in slums, or in houses near slums.”

"The reason is simple: to save money. After all, rents in slums are cheap. Although public security and infrastructure are poor, as long as the rents are cheap, people will come to live there."

"However, everyone should also be aware that for these people, as long as they have a choice, they will not choose the most chaotic slums. Most of them will choose areas with relatively good security, preferably with relatively convenient water, electricity and Internet access. Unless you are really poor and have no choice, no one is willing to take that kind of risk..." Zhu Qi picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Look, isn't this business already there?"

"What Qi Ge means...are we to be the second landlord?" Er Pang said hurriedly at the side.

Zhu Qi nodded slightly: "As the saying goes, rats have their own way, and snakes have their own way. Those distinguished men in the slums look down on them, or they can't manage them well, but it doesn't mean that we can't manage them well. There are so many people in the community. Brother, you have some face in every aspect."

"We are not talking about controlling all the slums in Linzhou, but it is not too difficult to set aside a few areas and restrict them to improve public security. So, as long as we plan the areas well, Rent the house in advance, make some renovations, and then rent it out at a higher price. As long as we can cover it and ensure the security of the area, and the water, electricity, and network are complete, then it will It is a stable and long-term business..."

"In addition, once people move in and form a stable residential area, the surrounding businesses will also rise. We can pre-set some shops around it. It is also a business that will make a profit without losing money."

After Zhu Qi finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion below. Zhu Qi did not interrupt the discussion and just drank tea by himself.

"Brother Qi's idea seems to make some sense. I might as well give it a try..." After some discussion, a cadre touched his chin and nodded.

"It's reasonable, but our little brother, if you want to blackmail someone, that's fine. If you want to do this properly... I'm afraid... others won't believe it..." The other person seemed hesitant.

"That's great!" Loach suddenly clapped his hands fiercely and made a sign of awakening: "The charity that Brother Qi wants to do is to buy a reputation for you guys. Those people have to say a few good words for us if they get our favor. , after a few rounds, this business will start..."

"makes sense……"

"Maybe I can really give it a try..."

There was a lot of discussion below, but the resistance in the words was no longer as strong as it was at the beginning. After all, being able to become a rich man in a whitewashed way is indeed a big temptation for these people.

Seeing that many people were already interested, Zhu Qi cleared his throat: "Then, let Miss Miao continue to explain the charity fund to everyone..."

"Snapped!"

At this moment, there was a sound of slaps on the table, and Deng Gui's face was full of gloomy expression. He stood up and just stared at Zhu Qi: "Brother Qi, Master Yao is still in the house, you don't care here. I don't care, I just plan to do some charity and whitewash. I don't know whether this is charity or not, and I don't know whether it can be whitewashed in the future. But I think about it, for such a big thing, I have to do it. We can’t make a decision until Master Yao comes out..."

"As for this little girl named Miao, when did an outsider get to interfere in our club's affairs?"

With that said, Deng Gui didn't wait for Zhu Qi's response, and gave him a fist: "Brother Qi, in my opinion, today's matter needs to be discussed again. There are still some things in the society, so I won't stay here to be an eyesore..." "

As he spoke, Deng Gui cupped his hands at the surrounding cadres, then turned and walked toward the door...

Zhu Qi's face suddenly darkened. It was obvious that Deng Gui's rhetoric was meant for him and all the community cadres present.After all, Zhu Qi is now only the nominal acting hall leader of the society. The real boss is still Wang Deyao, who is still serving his sentence.

Now this almost face-breaking scene made the scene extremely quiet for a while. Although Wang Deyao is still in prison, after all, he has accumulated power for many years. Many positions in the society are still occupied by his confidants. In addition, the methods are ruthless, so most societies The cadres still have the idea of ​​​​protecting themselves wisely. Now Zhu Qi obviously has the idea of ​​replacing him. However, Wang Deyao is just "going in" after all. No one knows whether he will be released on bail after a while. If Wang Deyao comes out smoothly by then, and Zhu Qi And they were eliminated before they could complete the arrangement. So whoever takes the wrong side now may really endanger their lives when the time comes.After all, the Liantai Society is, to put it bluntly, a mafia organization. They are on the wrong side, and they still want to escape unscathed. What are they thinking...

At this time, Zhu Qi, who was sitting in the main seat, looked so gloomy that he seemed to be dripping water. He knew clearly that Deng Gui's appearance was just for others to see. As Wang Deyao's confidant, Deng Gui also used this as a reminder. Among the others, who is the boss of Liantai Club?It can be said that if he cannot respond to Deng Gui's actions today, then the prestige he has finally accumulated over the past few days will be greatly damaged.

Just when a cold light flashed in Zhu Qi's eyes and he was about to make a move, Deng Gui, who was almost reaching the door, suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes widened as if he had seen something incredible, and he took two steps back suddenly, and his whole body started to tremble suddenly.

Chapter 479: Whitewash Three

"You... you... you..." He murmured, his eyes widening and widening, with a terrifying expression as if he had seen a ghost.

He kept backing away. This exaggerated appearance caused the people around him to subconsciously follow his gaze and look towards the door. However, the door was closed at this time, so there was nothing wrong with it.

A cadre sitting by the door even subconsciously opened the door and looked outside, only to find that it was calm outside and nothing happened.

At this time, Deng Gui was still retreating backwards. After that, his feet softened and he seemed to trip over something and fell to the ground.

However, this fall did not stop his actions at all. Instead, an unpleasant smell gradually filled the whole room...
