The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

After noticing Yang Chenglong's weird expression, Liu Hanxing and Su Yuanfeng, two guys with their own ghosts, became more convinced:

This is solid!

Under the gaze of everyone, Yang Chenglong put aside a thick stack of materials.

Then he stood up slowly, cupped his hands and said: "Dear fellows, this bid evaluation work has officially ended, and now I will report to you the scoring results of the major chambers of commerce!"

Yang Chenglong paused for a moment, and seeing that no one raised objections, he continued to introduce: "According to the relevant requirements of the "Regulations on the Management of Zhongzhou Martial Arts", the chambers of commerce that were vetoed by the rigid index include--Haiya Chamber of Commerce in Haiya City, including The Northern Lights Chamber of Commerce of the Light Saber School, the Jining Chamber of Commerce of Fire Cloud State, the Jiading Chamber of Commerce of Borneo State..."

After reading more than a dozen chambers of commerce that were rejected by one vote without any suspense, the bidding meeting reached the most critical stage.

"...The following is the scores of the candidate chambers of commerce that meet the selection criteria. The rankings are announced in ascending order according to the final scores: Huaishan Chamber of Commerce in Nanban Prefecture, with a score of 54.8 points; and then Guyun Chamber of Commerce in Luanshi City , scoring 55.3 points; Xuanji City Linglong Chamber of Commerce, 55.5 points; Yuehua City Weiyang Chamber of Commerce, 55.6 points; Penglai Island Oriental Chamber of Commerce, 55.7 points..."

Since the entire bidding process can be described as open and transparent, there is little room for manipulation by all forces.

However, as Yang Chenglong reported the scores of the major chambers of commerce one by one, the representatives of the chambers of commerce on the scene quickly had a commotion. The reason was very simple, the scores of the major chambers of commerce were too close.In addition to the gap in the scores of the first few chambers of commerce, there were even situations where several chambers of commerce in the latter had the same score in a row.

You didn't notice it when you filled out the form.

However, after Yang Chenglong reported the final scores of each chamber of commerce, everyone then compared them with reference to the bid evaluation criteria, and found out that the setting of this scoring standard seemed to deliberately prevent the major chambers of commerce from widening the gap.

For example, the business period in Sea Cliff City.

According to the scoring standard established by Liu Hanxing, in the past 500 years, all chambers of commerce that have been in business in Haiya City for more than 100 years will be given 2 points, and 10 points will be deducted for every 0.2 years, until the deductions are exhausted.

There seems to be no problem with this standard, but since cultivators themselves have a long lifespan, all major comprehension chambers of commerce also have a long history. Except for the rare nouveau riche like the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, as long as they do business in Haiya City Chambers of commerce basically have a business history of hundreds of years, so the scores of this subject are basically full marks.

Another example is the level of debt-to-asset ratio.

Since the rate of return on capital in the Kyushu cultivation world is appallingly low, chambers of commerce without leverage cannot survive at all. Therefore, the debt ratios of all major chambers of commerce are above 50%, and most chambers of commerce score zero.

As for the total scale index that can really widen the gap between the major chambers of commerce, this public bidding will not be assessed at all, but a total asset of no less than 800 million Lingshi coins, and the first batch of funds transferred to the supervision account shall not be less than 800 million. The hard indicator of Wanlingshi coins, this indicator has only eliminated three ultra-small chambers of commerce that are overwhelmed.

When Yang Chenglong read to the end of the list, almost all the bidding chambers scored between 55 and 60 points, and the chambers with scores below 58 were basically the chambers with obvious flaws in a certain item, while the chambers without flaws scored The scores are basically between 58-60. This discovery immediately made the representatives of the major chambers of commerce look suspicious. …

As Yang Chenglong's eyes continued to move down, the final winning bidder was about to surface: "...The He Family Chamber of Commerce in Qingyu City scored 59.5 points, the Li Family Chamber of Commerce in Mangya City scored 59.6 points, and the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce in Haiya City scored 60.5 points. , scoring [-] points!"

Hearing that the score of Zhujia Chamber of Commerce was much higher than that of other chambers of commerce, both Zhu Ziming and Liu Hanxing showed their expected expressions, but this outrageous result caused an uproar in the bidding scene:
"How can the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce score so much higher?"

"The Zhujia Chamber of Commerce is already a bereaved dog, but it can still get such a high score. Is this blatantly engaging in shady activities?"

"It's definitely a shady scene! The details of the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce must be announced!"

As the final score of the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce was announced, the bidding scene was instantly overwhelmed by one after another of protests.

Since neither Yang Lu nor Xi Ziang came to the scene in person, Yang Chenglong was not sure what to do in the face of this situation.

Seeing Liu Hanxing cast his eyes on him, Yang Chenglong had no choice but to speak loudly against his scalp: "There is no problem with the scoring results this time. If you have any doubts, you can compare the scores of the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce by yourself."

Said, Yang Chenglong waved his right hand.

Rows of words shining with golden light soon appeared in the void, which was exactly the scoring situation of the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce.

All the people present were business experts, and they quickly saw the problem from the scores of the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce.

It turns out that Zhujia Chamber of Commerce's other scores are not much different from other chambers of commerce, and even slightly lower than other chambers of commerce. However, it scored a full score of 4 in a subject called "asset quality", while other chambers of commerce scored 0.5 points in this subject. Most of the scores under the subject are zero points, and only a few chambers of commerce have scored 1.5-[-] points.

According to the bidding documents given by Liu Hanxing, the reform of Zhongzhou's social security system requires a lot of funds to operate, so which chamber of commerce has the highest cash-to-asset ratio, and the more cash-like assets it holds, the more powerful it will be as a partner of the Wuliang Sword Sect , so the higher the score will be on this subject called "asset quality".

Due to the very low return on investment in the Kyushu cultivation world, the major chambers of commerce are basically operating with full leverage, and the cash flow of the chambers of commerce is generally very tight. This has led to the scores of the major chambers of commerce under the subject of "asset quality" being very low. Even the Haiya Department, which is incomparably wealthy, without the financial support provided by Haiya Bank, if you look at the financial statements of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce alone, you will find that its cash flow is very bad, with a maximum of 1 point.

However, Zhujia Chamber of Commerce can't do anything, but the cash flow is very good.

Because the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce has been expelled from Haiya City by various forces before, under the huge pressure exerted by the Haiya faction, all the wealth accumulated by the Zhujia over 500 years has been sold at a low price. It originally had more than 3000 million souls. Zhujia Chamber of Commerce, which has net book assets of stone coins, has more than 800 million spirit stone coins left after liquidation.

If it wasn't for the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce temporarily becoming a shareholder of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce, providing the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce with financial support of several million Lingshi coins, and becoming the major shareholder of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce, Zhu Ziming would not even be eligible to participate in the bidding.

But being liquidated also has the benefit of being liquidated.

Today, all the assets of the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce are cash, and cash accounts for more than 90% of the total assets. Not only that, but the total cash of more than 1000 million spirit stone coins is second only to the trade leader Haiya Chamber of Commerce.You must know that although the Sea Cliff Chamber of Commerce can spend tens of millions in cash, the book assets of the Sea Cliff Chamber of Commerce have reached more than 200 billion! …

Therefore, in the subject of asset quality, Zhujia Chamber of Commerce undoubtedly got full marks.

In this scoring result, the difference between No.2 and No.20 is less than 2 points in total, and Zhujia Chamber of Commerce has established an advantage of at least 3 points in one subject, and naturally won No.1.

It's just that this kind of first is of course not convincing.

Immediately, someone jumped out to protest: "Zhujia Chamber of Commerce sold all its belongings, so it has such a high cash ratio and such a low debt ratio. In half a year, I can definitely raise more cash than the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce, so why can I make the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce rank first?"

Before Yang Chenglong and Liu Hanxing could respond, someone followed up and protested: "It doesn't take half a year, just give us two months, and we can scrape together 2000 million Lingshi coins in cash!"

In the face of doubts from the representatives of the major chambers of commerce, as Liu Hanxing, it is definitely not convenient to confront them in person. After all, his real opponent is Su Yuanfeng, the president of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce. It would be too embarrassing to confront Su Yuanfeng with white gloves .

So Zhu Ziming immediately stood up and retorted on behalf of his master: "Your behavior is called whitewashing the report! This bidding document clearly states that the financial status of each chamber of commerce is based on the latest financial report! If you look If another chamber of commerce wins, it will ask for a new bidding, and this kind of bidding will never come to a result!"

"You are sophistry, I think this bidding plan is clearly tailor-made for you Zhujia Chamber of Commerce!"

"Since you think there is a problem, why didn't you raise your opinion when the bidding plan was announced just now? Now you can raise your opinion after the bidding results come out. This is not in line with the regulations of the "Zhongzhou Martial Arts Management Regulations" at all!"

"It's not because you have buried a trap in the scoring criteria!"

"That's because you didn't read the terms carefully! Our Zhujia Chamber of Commerce's winning process has completely stood the test. Even if you sue the Wuliang Sword School Law Enforcement Hall, we Zhujia Chamber of Commerce will take the case!"

"You sound good. Let's go to Elder Qiu to complain. Isn't that meat bun beating a dog?"

With the escalation of the quarrel, the selection site is about to become an island legislature. However, unlike the politicians on the earth, all ordinary people, the representatives of the chamber of commerce participating in the bidding are basically all cultivators. Yayu broke out in a street battle in Haiya City.

Just when Zhu Ziming was about to be surrounded and beaten by everyone, Su Yuanfeng patted his hands lightly and took the initiative to relieve him.

More than [-]% of the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce present were entrusted by the Haiya Department. Seeing Su Yuanfeng take the initiative to calm the riots, the venue that was originally heated up against Yingtian gradually quieted down.

Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Su Yuanfeng coughed lightly and said, "The rules of the Wuliang Sword School are the rules, as long as the process is correct, we should admit the result of the bidding, President Liu, are you right? "

Liu Hanxing was already ready to confront Su Yuanfeng hard.

Unexpectedly, Su Yuanfeng directly approved the result of this bidding.

As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be demons. Su Yuanfeng's abnormal performance immediately aroused Liu Hanxing's high vigilance. …

He calmly glanced at Yang Chenglong, the deacon of the law enforcement hall who had just announced the result, but found that Yang Chenglong's eyes were wandering, as if he was very interested in the manuscript paper in his hand, and he didn't mean to look at him at all, which made him unable to help Liu Hanxing doubted his judgment just now.

If there is something wrong with the result of this bidding, his ally Yang Chenglong should remind himself!
Could it be that you are suspicious?
Liu Hanxing couldn't figure out what the Haiya family was doing, and his original purpose was to let the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce win the bid. Facing Su Yuanfeng's proposal, he couldn't directly deny the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce's winning bid.

So he had no choice but to deal with it casually: "The rule of law in Zhongzhou is the governing purpose of the Wuliang Sword Sect. As long as this bidding meets the relevant requirements of the "Zhongzhou Sect Management Regulations", of course I fully support it."

Liu Hanxing's answer was somewhat ambiguous, which was obviously not the answer Su Yuanfeng wanted, so he simply stopped asking open questions, and went straight to the point: "So President Liu also approved the result of this bidding? "

This kind of aggressive "zero one question" finally drove Liu Hanxing to a dead end. If he answered "No", it would be like slapping himself in the face, but if he answered "Yes", it seemed to be in the opponent's arms...

Faced with Su Yuanfeng's questioning with malicious intentions, a political expert like Li Qingyang would definitely not give a clear answer. Just act like a ruthless repeater, repeating his original point of view, and then he can overcome rigidity with softness Easily resolved.If the other party insists on chasing and hitting, then answer "I don't think the key to the question is here" or "I think the key to the question may be there", and then repeat what you just said.

However, when it comes to playing politics, Liu Hanxing is far behind even Fei Fan and Su Yuanfeng, not to mention Li Qingyang.

As the direct disciple of Lin Jianxing, the head of the Wuliang Sword Sect, although Liu Hanxing's spiritual root aptitude is very good, and he is now a great monk at the Golden Core stage, but he is less than 200 years old, younger than Su Yuanfeng who has just stepped into the Golden Core stage. Younger, if the time of retreat and practice is excluded, his social age will be even younger.

Faced with Su Yuanfeng's aggressive questions, Liu Hanxing, who has always been strong in character, did not choose to avoid his edge.

After pondering for a moment, he replied very frankly: "This bidding process is in full compliance with the relevant provisions of the "Regulations on the Administration of Zhongzhou Martial Arts". Of course, I approve of the results of this bidding."

However, what Su Yuanfeng was waiting for was his words.

Seeing Liu Hanxing's clear answer, Su Yuanfeng immediately turned to Xie Yu, the editor of "Cultivation Finance Weekly", and said, "Editor Xie, have you written down what President Liu said just now?"

Xie Yu cooperatively took out a picture stone and said, "Don't worry, seniors, I have recorded the whole process of this bidding!"

Seeing that these people seemed to have come prepared, Liu Hanxing felt even worse...

Sure enough, Su Yuanfeng immediately turned his head to look at Yang Chenglong, and said very familiarly: "Deacon Yang, should you announce to everyone that the real winner of this public bidding?"

The real winner?
Isn't the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce the real winner?
Stared at by everyone's surprised and inexplicable eyes, Yang Chenglong announced blankly: "I haven't finished announcing the final results just now, but I was interrupted by the heated discussion of fellow Taoists, and I didn't even have time to announce the final winning bid." Chamber of Commerce. According to the scoring situation of this bid evaluation, the final winning chamber of commerce is the Chen Family Chamber of Commerce in Haiya City, with a score of... 61.5 points!"

"Okay!" Chen Ping, a monk from the Golden Knife School who was sitting not far from Zhu Ziming, stood up suddenly as if he had been prepared, and raised his fists with both hands and said: "Thank you everyone! Thanks to the Wuliang Sword School, Thank you to Deacon Yang, thank you to President Liu, thank you to President Su for your strong support, and thank you to all the fellow daoists who participated in the bidding for giving us this opportunity for the Chen Family Chamber of Commerce!"
