The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 257 Guests

With the flash of inspiration, Yang Lu felt as if he was sitting on an invisible elevator, flying directly to an altitude of 700 meters, and then stopped firmly at the side door of the large flying spirit boat suspended in mid-air.

On Su Yuanfeng's beautiful and luxurious spirit boat, there are dozens of service personnel busy working.

Most of the service staff are ordinary people, but there are also a small number of disciples of the Haiya School who are in the Qi refining period. The beauty who is responsible for providing reception and explanation services to Yang Lu is a disciple of the Qi refining period of the Haiya School.

Su Yuanfeng has always been known for being generous to others, and even has the title of "God of Wealth of Haiya", doing odd jobs in his private spirit boat, even for ordinary Haiya sect disciples, it is an out-and-out job, so this The attitude of the beautiful monk can be said to be quite attentive, and she didn't feel contemptuous at all when she saw that Yang Lu's cultivation base was low.

Yang Lu even met Li Qingyang, a legendary cultivation economist. In his daily life, "talking and laughing have built a foundation, and communication has no refinement".

When Yang Lu came to the place of the banquet, which was the terrace of the giant flying spirit boat, he found that he was not the only guest at the banquet.

Before he arrived, there were already two strange monks wearing khaki-colored Gu Yunzong costumes, and after he arrived, two white-robed monks with strange costumes appeared together.

In addition, the host Su Yuanfeng was accompanied by a strange Haiya Sect monk, who was about 30 years old, seemed younger than Han Fulai, and looked quite capable.

As soon as this person met, he was acquainted with Yang Lu and reported his family name. He was Su Cheng, a junior in the family who was cultivated by Su Yuanfeng with great efforts, and a Qi-refining Dzogchen monk.

After all five guests arrived, Su Yuanfeng clapped his hands lightly, and the height of the flying spirit boat rose again, and soon hovered at a height of about a thousand meters above Haiya City, allowing everyone to easily overlook the entire sea cliff Harbor night.

As it just entered the night, the sea cliff city was still lit like a dragon, densely covered with aura lamps and torches, illuminating several criss-crossing main avenues as if they were daytime, and under the illumination of the lighthouse, there were still ocean-going merchant ships breaking through. The night slowly entered the port, and even a large number of dock workers could be vaguely seen, transporting goods from the port to various storage yards and distribution centers.Looking down from the heights, Haiya City is like a golden river that never sleeps, flowing with massive wealth from Kyushu.

All the guests, including Yang Lu, were attracted by the bright night view of Haiya City.

Although Yang Lu has seen more prosperous modern cities on earth, the unique scenery of this Zhongzhou Xiuzhen commercial center still has a special charm for him.

One of the older white-robed monks couldn't help sighing: "Haiya City really deserves to be a famous place in Zhongzhou, the hub of sea trade and wealth, such a brightly lit night scene, and such a prosperous world. In the bitterly cold place of our Arctic state, I am afraid that ordinary mortals will not have the chance to see such a magnificent scene in their entire lives!"

Su Yuanfeng responded with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Qu praised you, the Hanguangjian sect in Daxue Mountain in the Arctic State is the legendary blessed land of immortals. Our Haiya City is just a secular city full of the smell of copper. such a reputation."

It was only then that Yang Lu realized that the two white-robed monks were actually monks from the Light Sword Sect in the Arctic State.

Hearing Su Yuanfeng's self-effacing words, the monk surnamed Qu shook his head and said: "When Qu was young, he also traveled around Kyushu. Many ports with geographical locations no less than Haiya City gave me a feeling of lifelessness. From the sect of cultivation The high-level people, as well as the mortals who take care of government affairs for the cultivators, are exploiting the mortals at the bottom layer by layer. Ordinary mortals don’t say that they work hard in the dark, even if they are reluctant to perform the tasks assigned by the cultivators. Is there anything wrong with your Haiya faction? A secret to management?"

Hearing what the monk surnamed Qu said, Yang Lu couldn't help thinking of what he had seen and heard in Tianshu City.

I am used to the prosperity of Haiya City, and I do feel that Tianshu City is a bit lifeless. Now it seems that there are only a few cities like Haiya City, and cities like Tianshu City are the norm in Kyushu's cultivation world.

Yang Lu was also very curious about how Su Yuanfeng, the president of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce, would answer this question.

"The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit!" Su Yuanfeng pondered for a moment, and then gave a very solemn answer in the style of an Austrian economist, "Everyone's interest appeal is actually very simple. , is to strive for more benefits for themselves. But if thousands of people want to maximize their own interests, things will become very troublesome, and when millions of people want to maximize their own interests, the entire society The contradiction will be so great that no one can reconcile it. The Haiya faction is more clever than other cultivation sects because it knows how to actively restrain its own power, delegate power to many market players, and play the role of the market in transmitting signals, rather than It is a vain attempt to manage millions of people vertically on its own."

Judging from what Yang Lu observed, apart from providing the most basic public services in the Haiya area, the Haiya Department only firmly grasps the two main lines of maritime trade and finance. It is indeed a typical representative of streamlining administration and delegating power.

The monk surnamed Qu nodded thoughtfully and said: "Knowing the trade-offs, knowing how to advance and retreat, it is no accident that the Sea Cliff Department can achieve today's glory!"

Su Yuanfeng laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Su's hosting a banquet this time also wants to entertain friends from the Haiya Chamber of Commerce. It is a bit too serious to talk about this kind of sect management, so let me introduce each other first. Bar……"

After everyone's eyes focused on him, Su Yuanfeng introduced to everyone one by one: "Today's distinguished guests are all important shareholders of the Yangjiang Port project in Huoyun Prefecture, and they will all participate in the Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference to be held in a few days. This fellow Daoist Qujing of the Light Sword Sect met Su Mou in the outer battlefield trials a hundred years ago, and he is already a monk at the early stage of Jindan, and the little friend of Lingyang next to him will represent the Light Sword Sect to participate in the competition. For the Zhongzhou Sword Discourse Conference this time, both of you made a special trip from the Great Snow Mountain in the Arctic State, and traveled all the way to Haiya City."

The relationship between the six sects of the extreme north and the seven sects of Kyushu is very delicate.

Generally speaking, the two sides are roughly in a neutral relationship of "no unification, no independence, no force".

The Wuliang Sword Sect did not say that the neutral sects of the Arctic State were not allowed to participate in the Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference, but the Six Extreme North Sects were unlikely to allow their own elite disciples to join the Wuliang Sword Sect. He traveled thousands of miles to participate in the competition, and also specially accepted Su Yuanfeng's banquet. There is a high probability that Su Yuanfeng invited Su Cheng.

The next words of the Golden Core stage monk named Qu Jing also verified Yang Lu's guess: "President Su, you are polite! With President Su's ability, I am afraid that the advanced Golden Core stage will only be in the next two years. Our Hanguang The Sword Sect also made a special trip to serve President Su as a green leaf, to set off the red flower of fellow daoist Su, I wonder if these three strange fellow daoists are..."

"This is Yang Lu, the successor of President Li Qingyang, who is currently serving as a consultant in the Qingning Chamber of Commerce." After introducing Yang Lu, Su Yuanfeng turned to the relatively young monk of the Guyun Sect and introduced, "This Guyun Sect Fellow Daoist Ren Yi is also a strong contender for this Zhongzhou Sword Discourse Conference, but after many efforts, he has already confirmed that he will be assigned to the Eastern Division."
