The Fourth Financial Crisis

Chapter 4 Masked Guest

Newsboys are the lowest working people in Haiya City. Most of them are orphans without fathers and mothers. Therefore, they accept the exploitation of Pan's Trading Company, a group of unscrupulous capitalists. Their living conditions are much better than those of unemployed young people like Yang Lu. limited.

The newspaper seller girl could only take out a few cents of spiritual stone coins to express her gratitude, but she could only bow to Yang Lu repeatedly.

Looking at the few cents of spiritual stone coins handed over by the newsboy, Yang Lu sighed slightly, but still rejected the other party's kindness.

Cultivation capitalists exploit lower-level employees even more than earth capitalists. Even though the newspaper seller girl sold hundreds of newspapers in a short period of time, she could only get 1% of the sales for each newspaper. Commission.

In other words, this pitiful-looking female newspaper boy had just received a total of 10 cents of spirit stone coins, and the few cents of spirit stone coins she carefully handed to Yang Lu were almost equivalent to most of the money she had just sold. Report your income!

Even though Yang Lu is now in poverty, he really can't bear to exploit other poor working people at the bottom. After all, this little money is nothing compared to the big business he is going to discuss next.

Although Yang Lu had made it clear that he would not accept money, the newspaper seller was very persistent and must find a way to thank him for his help. This also made Yang Lu feel the warmth of the bottom proletarian people.

Unable to resist the kindness, he could only wave his hands and said: "They were rushing so hard just now that I didn't even buy the newspaper. If you really want to thank me, tell me about the other contents in the newspaper!"

The girl hasn't realized yet that Yang Lu, an "expert", can't actually afford a newspaper.

Hearing Yang Lu mention the contents of the newspaper, a hint of pride flashed across her cute little face: "Don't worry, I have been selling newspapers for so many years and I have taught myself how to read and digit. I know the contents of each issue of the newspaper." I can recite it from ear to ear! Since you want to understand the contents of the newspaper, let me start with President Li Qingyang’s Shou Yuan..."

According to the girl selling the newspaper, regarding the issue of President Li Qingyang’s remaining lifespan, the Xiuzhen Financial Weekly has not confirmed it, and it is still in the rumor stage. Some people say that there is one year left, and some say that there are still several years left. There is no official word.

Apart from this, the most important news should be the new generation social security system for cultivation promoted by the Wuliang Sword Sect.

It is said that the top leaders of the Wuliang Sword Sect have reached a consensus that it is imperative to implement a new generation of cultivation social security system in Zhongzhou Continent, but there is still a big debate on how to implement it.

Sources revealed that the first version of the reform plan put forward by President Li Qingyang did not receive the support of Lin Jianxing, the head of the Wuliang Sword Sect, and there is still fierce competition among the top leaders of the Wuliang Sword Sect.

Yang Lu has long heard about the cultivation social security system.

In a cultivating society, individual combat capabilities vary greatly, and a powerful cultivator can kill tens of thousands of creatures with just a few clicks.

It takes decades for a mortal to grow from birth to adulthood; but it only takes a blink of an eye for a cultivator to kill someone. If it were not restrained, the social order of the entire cultivation world would have completely collapsed and turned into a primitive society where the law of the jungle is rampant.

The Jiuzhou cultivation world can maintain social stability because of the existence of the heavenly merit system.

For cultivators, merit is as important a cultivation resource as spiritual stones. Anyone who does good deeds recognized by heaven can accumulate merit, while doing bad things not recognized by heaven, such as murder and arson, will have merit deducted accordingly.

It is precisely because the level of merit directly determines the speed of a cultivator's practice that cultivators will take the initiative to open shelters to accumulate merit, so that unemployed youths like Yang Lu who have traveled from Earth to Haiya City will not starve to death on the streets.

As for the coverage of the universal social security system, it is of course a great thing that benefits the country and the people, and will also be rewarded by heaven's merits. Therefore, all major sects are trying their best to promote various universal social security systems within their own spheres of influence.

This new generation of Zhongzhou Xiuzhen social security system is an idea proposed by President Li Qingyang himself.

Just wanting to implement universal social security has never been a simple matter, and the interest groups involved are too huge.

Even in the modern earth society where the degree of social organization is far more rigorous than that in the world of cultivation, the reform of the social security system will encounter many obstacles, let alone in the world of Kyushu cultivation where individualism is prevalent.

Therefore, the new generation social security system has been shouting slogans for so many years, but it has never been able to come up with a plan that can be implemented.

This kind of thing involving the high-level interest game in the cultivation world is really too far away for Yang Lu, an unemployed young man from Haiya City from the earth. He just listens to the fun and kills the time while waiting for his real life today. Target.

Since the audience of "Xiu Zhen Financial Weekly" is relatively small, the content of each issue is not too much. The girl selling the newspaper only talked for a few minutes and already talked about all the important news.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Yang Lu waved his hand and asked the eloquent newspaper seller to leave on her own.

Before leaving, the newspaper seller even revealed her family background.

Her name is Murong. It seems that her surname is not Murong, but Mu. She can be considered a local native of Haiya City, but she lost her parents very early and didn't want to eat pig food in the shelter, so she joined Pan's Trading Company and became the lowest-level newspaper girl.

Looking at this thin girl who was only a little over 1.5 meters tall, with her head just reaching her shoulders, Yang Lu couldn't help but sigh:

It’s better for the children of the poor to take charge early!

Just as he watched the thin figure of the newspaper seller stagger away, another masked man wearing a black cloak appeared at the end of the deserted street. In the Jiuzhou cultivation world, there are many such masked people who do not want to be named, and they are considered a standard feature when traveling in the world. Yang Lu didn't pay much attention to this person at first.

However, the tall masked guest only paused slightly in the distance before heading straight to the door of the tavern.

Seeing the other party walking straight towards him, Yang Lu, who had just relaxed slightly, couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart:

I'm afraid this is the rightful owner!

Sure enough, the masked guest came straight to Yang Lu and said in a hoarse voice: "You are Yang Lu!"

Yang Lu didn't know the other party's details, so he just nodded slightly, which was regarded as acknowledging the other party's statement.

The masked man didn't pay attention to his reserved attitude. Instead, he looked Yang Lu up and down and said calmly: "We have officially submitted the article you sent us last time to the client."

"What do customers say?"

"The feedback from customers... is pretty good."

The composition of the language and characters in Kyushu Cultivation World is similar to that of Chinese, which is a combination of "hieroglyphs + isolated languages".

After Yang Lu traveled to the world of cultivation this time, it was like he had a memory in his head out of thin air, allowing him to read and write the language here freely, avoiding the tragedy of becoming illiterate. It is precisely because of this that when Yang Lu fell into a dilemma in life, the first thing he thought of was to use his knowledge to change his destiny!

The masked man in front of him is his opportunity to change his destiny!

Hearing the masked customer say "customer feedback is good", although Yang Lu had expected it, he still secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As a broker who acts as a transaction intermediary, the best strategy is to bargain with both parties and take it all. There is no need for the other party to recognize the results of the seller's labor. Since this masked customer dares to say "customer feedback is good," it means that the customer's real feedback must be far more than just "good"!

Although the masked man didn't tell him the customer's true thoughts, the other party's reaction still made Yang Lu feel a little weird.

In any black industry, brokers as intermediaries will try their best to maintain information asymmetry between buyers and sellers. Only when buyers and sellers do not know each other's psychological price can intermediaries extract maximum benefits from it.

This is just like the earth's madam who will never allow his girls to directly leave the contact information of their clients. Drug traffickers will never reveal the source of their upstream goods to downstream buyers, and intelligence dealers will never reveal their intelligence channels to buyers. . The masked customer took the initiative to provide him with customer feedback. In Yang Lu's view, this was an extremely unprofessional performance.

If the broker is not professional, it is definitely a good thing for you.

Therefore, Yang Lu did not point out the problem, but showed a silly and innocent smile and said: "I knew there would be no problem! Since I dare to take your job, I still have a little bit of confidence in my own level! "

"I'm sorry you don't dare to fool me!" Hearing Yang Lu's boast, the masked man just snorted coldly, and then asked a more sensitive question, "But I am a little curious, you can actually write the story of Let the Golden Sword A paper that everyone is satisfied with, this insight...where did it come from?"

Yang Lu knew that there was no point in lying, so he said directly: "It seems that asking about the background of us gunmen is not in line with the rules of your industry! As long as I can write academic articles of sufficient quality for my clients, I can make you Isn’t it enough that essay brokers are making a lot of money?”

That's right, Yang Lu's first job in the world of cultivation was to be a gunman for cultivators and write academic papers!
