The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

"How can there be any Infinite Sword School in this world?"

Hearing Zhu Ziming's question, Ma Kezhang couldn't help but burst out laughing, as if he had heard a big joke: "The Wuliang Sword Sect you are talking about is also composed of practitioners! Since the Wuliang Sword Sect sent us these cultivators The salaries of practitioners are not enough for us to cultivate to the golden core stage, so how do you say that the golden core stage cultivators of the Wuliang Sword Sect get here?"

Zhu Ziming already understood what the other party meant, and said in a difficult tone: "You mean..."

"Which of the elders of the Golden Core Stage of the Wuliangjian Sect was not paid by the vassal sect? What motivation do we have to fight our own vassal sect? Even if the vassal sect is killed, can the Wuliang Sword Sect still give us a raise? "

Ma Kezhang's speech can be regarded as a heartfelt speech.

No matter how strong the Wuliang Sword Sect is, it is still composed of more than 2 Wuliang Sword Sect disciples. Although it is not difficult for the Wuliang Sword Sect to destroy the vassal sects, individual Wuliang Sword Sect disciples are like ants in front of the vassal sects.

The reason why the Wuliang Sword Sect has such loose management over the vassal sects is itself the result of years of games between the two sides.

Everyone take a step back, hello, hello, hello, everyone.

Now that Lin Jianxing wants to tear himself apart from the vassal sect through the reform of the Zhongzhou social security system, it will inevitably arouse fierce resistance from the vassal sect. As an ordinary member of the Wuliang Sword Sect, no one wants to become cannon fodder for the conflict between the two major interest groups.

There is no collectivist trend of thought in the world of comprehension. In the eyes of ordinary comprehensions, the basic qualities of a qualified comprehension are the basic qualities of a qualified comprehension, such as "people are not for themselves, and heaven and earth will perish" and "dead friends will not die poor people". In the novel, the protagonists are all existences who do everything for longevity.

Therefore, there is no such collectivist fighter who "doesn't care about personal gains and losses, and is dedicated to the interests of the sect" in the cultivation world. If there is such a self-sacrificing existence in the cultivation world, it would be impossible for the Black Pool King to break into Tianshu City back then.

Zhu Ziming was helpless, so he could only change the angle, and turned to lure us with benefits: "Helping us Zhujia Chamber of Commerce will also be of great benefit to you personally! If you can successfully promote the pilot reform of Haiya City, President Liu and Sect Leader Lin will definitely look up to you because of this, and this is also a good opportunity for you to make a fortune in the sect!"

Ma Kezhang shook his head and said, "So what do you want me to do? Are you going to take you to rob a bank?"

Seeing what Zhu Ziming wanted to say, Ma Kezhang directly raised his hand to interrupt him: "President Xiao Zhu, since there are no outsiders here, I will tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Master Lin promotes the reform of Zhongzhou's social security system, The purpose is to cut the meat of the vassal sect, but if the meat of the local vassal sect is so easy to cut, how can we wait until today? We are all knives used by the Wuliangjian sect to offend people!"

"With all due respect, let alone being the head of Lin's knife, even being the dog of the head of Lin's, that is a great opportunity!"

"The premise is that this knife will not become cannon fodder!" Ma Kezhang said here, with a bit of annoyance in his tone, "President Liu and head Lin put me in this position because they want me to fight against Haiya. I even hope that the Haiya Department will kill me so that they can take down this gang of rebels in a famous way. You came to me to get ahead, but you just want to use me as a gunman. You and I know this well. , but why should I be the first bird for you?"

Now that both sides have talked about this, Zhu Ziming simply stopped pretending.

He straightened his neck and said, "I'm the executor of the pilot reform program personally appointed by President Liu. If you don't give me any face, aren't you afraid that President Liu will hold you accountable?"

"You don't want to put Liu Hanxing on me!" Ma Kezhang didn't give Zhu Ziming any face this time, and sneered on the spot, "If I make the Haiya Department anxious, Liu Hanxing will not be unlucky, and I will be the one who will be unlucky in the end." For myself, President Liu wants to get things done without getting his hands dirty. How can there be such a good thing in this world?

Zhu Ziming argued forcefully: "Deacon Ma, I understand what you are saying, but we really have no way out, not to mention President Liu, and even the head of Lin are paying attention to the pilot project of Haiya City. And I have no retreat, do you have a retreat? If the pilot reform of the social security system in Zhongzhou fails, you will still have good fruit to eat when you return to the Wuliang Mountains?"

However, Zhu Ziming's threats did not work.

Ma Kezhang just mocked in a disdainful tone: "You seem to have not figured it out. You are the only one who has no way out. As long as I don't make mistakes in principle, there is no reason why I have no way out!"

Seeing Ma Kezhang's confident appearance, Zhu Ziming's mouth was also a little dry: "Are you really not afraid that President Liu will be held accountable afterwards?"

Ma Kezhang said indifferently: "Don't say that the Wuliang Sword Sect is short of manpower. According to the "Zhongzhou Sect Management Regulations", as long as I don't make a mistake in principle, it is impossible for the sect to attack me. Look, after so many years, which one? The monks of the Infinite Sword Sect were sent to Qishan Prison because of their lack of ability?"

Zhu Ziming thought about it, but he really didn't think of a similar case.

After all, the Wuliang Sword Sect did not "put the blame" or "lay the crime". On the contrary, Lu Anping, an ambitious person who wants to do things, tends to do more and make more mistakes, and finally sends himself to Qishan Prison eats.

Seeing Zhu Ziming's dumbfounded look, Ma Kezhang said confidently: "I can't push the reform, at most I will bear the reputation of being incompetent. Even if I am punished by the sect rules, after two years of limelight, I will definitely be appointed again. The Wuliang Sword Sect Can you still expel me from the sect? Besides, if you want me to condemn Haiya Bank, that’s no problem. I can write a statement of condemnation right now, which will be regarded as an explanation to the Wuliang Sword Sect afterwards. You can send Show my statement to Haiya Bank to see if Jiang Huaan and Su Yuanfeng agree!"

Needless to say, Zhu Ziming also knew that the Haiya family would definitely not recognize it.

Things like statements and official letters are for others to see. If you really want to discuss things, you have to visit alone like Zhu Ziming. First discuss things in private, and finally go through the superficial process.

If Ma Kezhang really wanted to help, he would definitely visit Jiang Hua'an in person. If he wrote a statement of condemnation so lightly, Haiya Bank probably wouldn't even read it, and would just throw it into the trash can. The bank only needs to throw out a mortal temporary worker to shoulder the responsibility.

If the Wuliang Sword Sect pursues the responsibility afterwards, Ma Kezhang can evade and say, I have already severely condemned Haiya Bank, but they didn't listen to my condemnation at all, so I can't take Zhu Ziming to rob the bank!

Compared with Yang Chenglong's hypocrite performance, Ma Kezhang's statement can be regarded as a frank and honest villain. Although he didn't say it clearly, the meaning has been conveyed very clearly:

Even if I'm going to mess up, I can't stop me even if I'm the king of heaven!
You Zhu Ziming want me to raise the flag for you, you want me to show support, these things are all right, but you want to use me as a gunman, let me fight the sea cliffs in the first place, then I am sorry, I will not do it anyway can not help you.

As a typical low-level comprehension capitalist, Zhu Ziming has never been a good person, and he doesn't think he is a good person, but after seeing Yang Chenglong and Ma Kezhang come back to him abruptly, he couldn't help feeling a surge of grief and indignation Feelings:
Reform is meant to offend people. If all reformers want to protect themselves, they might as well go home and hold their children!

Haiya City is full of such rotten people, how can the pilot reform work well?
However, just like what Mo Yunlan said when he persuaded Lin Jianxing to stop, the reform of Zhongzhou's social security system is doomed to fail because it has not straightened out the interests of all parties.

President Lu was able to successfully lead Kyushu's third currency reform. On the one hand, he had Ma Tianyi, the tenth-level Nascent Soul monk, leading the battle, but more importantly, he guided Kyushu's wealth to actively flow into the capital market through the method of luring each other with benefits. .

The economic reform of Huoyun State led by Tian Daxiao is also in the same line as President Lu. By continuously strengthening the protection of property rights, it caters to the urgent needs of capital for its own safety, actively guides capital to flow into Huoyun State, and sucks blood from Kyushu to promote the development of Huoyun State. Prosperity.

In other words, President Lu and Tian Daxiao just set up the stage, and then waited for all parties to make independent decisions based on their own interests, so that everyone can form a joint force for reform.

The whole process does not even need to apply any external force, as long as the mechanism is designed, the rest will follow naturally.

However, the reform of Zhongzhou's social security system is different.

The local sect, as the party that loses its interests, will definitely try its best to obstruct the reform pilot; while the backbone of the foundation-building period of the Wuliang Sword Sect, who is mainly responsible for promoting the reform, will gain a disproportionate amount of benefits (promotion) and risks (killed by the local sect) In the end, they will inevitably choose to perform badly; even the top leaders of the Wuliang Sword Sect, which has benefited the most from the reform, have departments such as Duzhitang and Gongdetang, who have seriously damaged their interests, and are unwilling to see the reform successfully implemented.

Although the Wuliang Sword Sect as a whole will definitely benefit from the reform, but when this benefit is allocated to each individual, it is completely deformed. This has caused the major stakeholders to generally have no motivation to promote reform. It can force pressure through a small number of senior leaders of the Wuliang Sword Sect.

Although the strength of the top management of the Wuliang Sword Sect is indeed very strong, even the monks of the Nascent Soul Stage cannot manage the thousands of official charitable halls in Zhongzhou. people to lead.

Yang Chenglong played tricks, and Ma Kezhang did badly. These are actually just the surface of the problem. Even if the Wuliangjian faction replaces these two people, they will still face endless similar problems, because the reform of the social security system in Zhongzhou is at the level of system design. Failed to make these micro-subjects act spontaneously.

This kind of conflict of core interests, not to mention that Zhu Ziming can't solve it, even if Liu Hanxing personally supervises the battle, it can solve the symptoms but not the root cause.

Zhu Ziming saw that Ma Kezhang had made it clear that he couldn't control it, so he could only retreat and said: "Deacon Ma, you must also understand my situation! I have been forced to a dead end now, and this problem must be resolved anyway. If you think Open source can’t work, I think it’s just saving money, I’ve counted, if you don’t count the purchase price of the land, if you calculate it based on the cost price alone, 20 Lingshi coins can almost build a shantang…”

Ma Kezhang knew the elegant meaning after hearing the string song, he frowned and said: "Zhu Ziming, what do you mean?"

Zhu Ziming quickly laughed and said: "In order to prevent the Haiya family from making troubles, we did not choose the local merchants in Haiya City as the material suppliers for the construction of the shantang this time, but chose the merchants from Yunlai City recommended by the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce. These Yunlaicheng merchants are charging too high a price, and they will charge seven or eight times the market price at every turn. According to the current budget, I am afraid that there is no investment of 200 million yuan. This kind of charity hall cannot be built at all. I think there is still a lot of discussion on the price. leeway."

Ma Kezhang's expression changed slightly and he said, "Do you want to withhold the supplier's payment?"

Zhu Ziming quickly waved his hand and explained: "Deacon Ma, we don't have to deduct the supplier's payment, even if we just ask them to temporarily pay me to help the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce to overcome the current difficulties, and business negotiations , It would be too ugly to call it a deduction, after all, the other party's asking price is too high!"

"Tell me, why are they charging so much?"

"Although Yunlai City and Haiya City are far away, when they quoted prices, they were like lions, and I heard from the gossip that some suppliers simply got their goods in Luanshi City next door, and sold them to us for several dollars. I think even with a [-]% discount, these suppliers can still make money. If it really doesn’t work, we can even abandon them and go it alone. After all, our Zhujia Chamber of Commerce started out as a trader and has experience—”

"Enough!" However, before Zhu Ziming finished speaking, Ma Kezhang jumped up on the spot, "Is this your first day in business? How dare you take advantage of Shantang's suppliers, you bastard——"

Ma Kezhang was stuck for a long time, and he didn't think about what vocabulary to use to reprimand Zhu Ziming.

Seeing Ma Kezhang's furious attitude, Zhu Ziming instantly realized that there must be something else hidden in this matter, so he quickly asked: "Could it be that this money is not just a payment for goods, but has some other purpose?"

Ma Kezhang took a deep breath, and reprimanded severely: "Where did the money go, is it a question you are qualified to care about? These suppliers dare to take the risk of offending the Haiya Department to cooperate with you, do you think They are all ordinary businessmen? Could it be that you are the smart one in Haiya City who knows to deal with the suppliers, but the people in the Haiya Chamber of Commerce are fools who don’t know how to use suppliers to get stuck in your neck? You don’t really think that you will Can you arrange all the work of these suppliers?"

As the leader of the supervisory team of the Wuliang Sword Sect who was driven to the shelves, Ma Kezhang also felt an unknown anger in his heart.

Today Zhu Ziming insisted on forcing him to be a gunman, so Ma Kezhang simply opened the skylight to speak bluntly, and had a showdown with him directly. This series of rhetorical questions didn't even give Zhu Ziming a chance to intervene.
