The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 498
Seeing that Liu Hanxing's face turned red and then pale, and he was speechless for a while, Jiang Hua'an continued to make up his knife and said: "We who do business always pay attention to your wishes, if the business meeting is not suitable for business, then we have nothing to do what!"

Zhu Ziming, of course he can't talk about business!
Because the current Zhu Ziming is already a walking god of death, whoever talks to him will die.

If you have the guts to challenge the Haiya faction directly, why do you have to hang yourself on Zhu Ziming's tree?
Seeing that Jiang Hua'an was always avoiding the problem, Liu Hanxing stopped pretending, and went straight to the point: "I, Liu Hanxing, have come here in person today, I wonder if City Lord Jiang can save me a little bit and let the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce take a piece of money to start a good business." What about the land of the hall?"

Jiang Hua'an didn't seem to understand Liu Hanxing's meaning, and said with a smile: "Our sea cliff city, come and go freely! President Liu wants to buy land, just find any sea cliff city merchant, there is no need to ask for my opinion specifically !"

Liu Hanxing saw that the other party was still pretending to be stupid, so he pointedly said: "What if I want to buy the land directly from you?"

However, Jiang Hua'an spread his hands and said, "The land for the Haiya City Lord's Mansion is tight, and there is really no land for sale!"

Liu Hanxing's face darkened in an instant, and he slapped the teacup in his hand on the table, a powerful wave of aura surged towards the teacup in Jiang Huaan's hand. Seeing this, Jiang Huaan immediately poured his mana into his teacup In the middle, trying to resist Liu Hanxing's sudden attack.

However, the vigor Liu Hanxing sent out seemed ordinary, but inside it implied the supreme sword intent of the sword of the Wuliang Sword School, and it even directly blew the teacup in Jiang Hua'an's hand to pieces.

Obviously, Liu Hanxing's strength is obviously higher than that of Jiang Hua'an, who is also a second-tier Golden Core cultivator!

Looking at the shattered teacup in his hand, Jiang Hua'an showed no signs of fear, but shook his head with a light smile and said, "President Liu is really powerful, Jiang admires it!"

Liu Hanxing said in a deep voice: "Master Jiang, are you really planning to fight us to the end?"

"Our Haiya sect is based on business, and we never want to get involved in any political struggle!" Jiang Hua'an didn't answer Liu Hanxing's question directly. After evaporating the spilled spiritual tea with magic power, he replied nonchalantly, " But the problem is that the selection of Haiya City as a pilot for reforming the social security system in Zhongzhou is not the result of our own choice. Since someone has already pointed the finger at us, as the leader of the sect, I must consider the interests of my sect ..."

Although Jiang Hua'an didn't make it clear, the implication of his words was already obvious: this war was started by the head sect of the Wuliang Sword Sect, and our Haiya sect was forced to fight back.

Liu Hanxing seemed to know that Jiang Hua'an would say that, so he took a deep breath and said, "If I can make the Haiya Chamber of Commerce become the official partner of the Wuliang Sword Sect, I wonder if the head of Jiang will strongly support my work?"

Hearing that Liu Hanxing was willing to take the initiative to make such a concession, Jiang Hua'an was also slightly surprised.

However, he quickly readjusted his expression and flatly refused: "When Haiya City was selected as a pilot city, we had no way out. President Liu should be very clear about this, even if you really want to Invite the Sea Cliff Chamber of Commerce to board the ship, the Sea Cliff Chamber of Commerce will not be able to fight against its own base!"

Of course Liu Hanxing knew what Jiang Huaan meant.

The reform of the new generation of self-cultivation social security system has harmed the interests of all the vassal sects in Zhongzhou. Almost all the vassal sects are opposed to it. The Haiya sect openly confronted the Wuliangjian sect, which is actually the result that all the vassal sects hope to see.

This is also why Jiang Hua'an was able to easily mobilize all forces to encircle and suppress Zhu's Chamber of Commerce. The relationship network and intelligence network of the Haiya Department are only one aspect, and the people's support in the cultivation world of Zhongzhou is also very important.

And if the Haiya sect negotiates peace with Wuliangjian sect in private, it is equivalent to betraying all the vassal sects.

It's not just the Haiya faction facing this kind of problem. No matter which sect voluntarily surrenders to the Wuliangjian faction, it will offend all the local cultivation forces in Zhongzhou except the head of the Wuliangjian faction, and even the Wuliangjian faction's merit hall and Du branch hall.

And Haiya City is based on business, so it must have a good relationship with most of the vassal sects, otherwise it will be impossible to carry out the sea trade business normally, if Jiang Hua'an dares to risk the world's disgrace.Compromising with the Wuliang Sword Sect and being boycotted by all the vassal sects in Zhongzhou, the Haiya Sect will completely lose its foothold.

Because of this, even if the much-anticipated Haiya sect cannot withstand the pressure of the Wuliang Sword Sect, they must not back down, and even if they must die standing up, they must not live kneeling.

From the moment the Wuliang Sword Sect chose Haiya City as a reform pilot, the two sides had already had an undying relationship.

In fact, it was not that Liu Hanxing hadn't thought about it, choosing those vassal sects that had a close relationship with Lin Jianxing to carry out the experiment, such as Qingyun City, which had already joined Lin Jianxing for a long time.

Under the instruction of Lin Jianxing and Liu Hanxing, Xia Qingyang, the lord of Qingyun City back then, held back the head of the Shanying faction, Chen Ming, by himself when the beast disaster broke out in Tianshu City.

However, Liu Hanxing's choice of Qingyun City as a pilot city will certainly make the reform progress more smoothly, but Qingyun City will also become the target of all vassal sects in Zhongzhou.

Although Qingyun City is not a commercial city like Haiya City, even if it encounters a joint boycott by various cultivation forces, the consequences will not be as fatal as the Haiya Department, but the fact that Head Xia is willing to work for the Head Department is ultimately for the sake of Fight for benefits from your own sect.

After doing so much dirty work for the head department.I didn't get any benefits at all, but I have to take the blame for the head department. Head Xia will definitely have opinions. After all, everyone is a member of the head department. Why do I always sacrifice my interests?

If Liu Hanxing chooses to forcibly distribute the scapegoat to his own people, it will definitely chill the hearts of many lackeys.

In fact, Head Xia worried very early on that he would become cannon fodder for the reform experiment. In order to prevent Liu Hanxing from killing first and then playing later, he personally visited Lin Jianxing at the headquarters of the Wuliang Sword Sect in advance, saying that our Qingyun City has made contributions to Head Lin, and also Having shed blood for the Wuliang Sword Sect, Liu Hanxing must not push us out as cannon fodder!

As the backbone force of the head department, Qingyun City's status is quite similar to Tianshu City's status in Duzhitang, plus Lin Jianxing is very face-saving, seeing his loyal subordinates running to him to complain, He couldn't bear to refuse face to face, so under Lin Jianxing's personal pressure and Zhu Ziming's strong instigation, Liu Hanxing finally failed to resist the pressure, and instead of letting Qingyun City take the lead in charging, he chose to fight against Wuliang all year round. The sword faction and its head were operated by Haiya City, which was both positive and negative.

It can be said that this choice itself carries a strong malice.

Now that the head-on conflict between the Sea Cliff Department and the Sect Leader has officially begun, Jiang Hua'an will never agree to a private compromise with the Sea Cliff City after Liu Hanxing finds out that the Sea Cliff Department is indeed difficult to deal with.

Seeing that the negotiations had come to an impasse, Liu Hanxing took a deep look at the expressionless Jiang Hua'an, and said in a deep voice, "So, is City Lord Jiang planning to fight the Wuliang Sword Sect to the end?"

Seeing that Liu Hanxing was about to jump the wall in a hurry, Jiang Huaan still had no intention of compromising, and still said in that infuriatingly gentle tone: "President Liu is serious, how dare we openly confront Sect Leader Lin?"

"Then what do you plan to do with the lotus rain pavilion killer?"

"Our Sea Cliff City Lord deeply regrets such incidents, and strongly condemns such illegal acts of violence. Any illegal killing and treasure hunting in Sea Cliff City is not advisable!"

Speaking of this step, Jiang Hua'an is still practicing Tai Chi here, and Liu Hanxing knows that it is impossible for the Sea Cliff to compromise today.

"If that's the case, then I'll go out and solve the problem myself!"

After uttering a harsh word, Liu Hanxing walked away on the spot.

……

Hong Shiqi, the owner of Shunfeng Store, was going to make a deal with Zhu Ziming in private, but he was killed by Tingheyuge beauty killer in the street.

With the help of people with good intentions, this breaking news spread all over the streets and alleys of Haiya City.

Faced with such rumors, the Haiya City Lord's Mansion immediately stood up to refute the rumors, claiming that Hong Shiqi was killed by elder Hong's former enemies. The Haiya faction expressed deep regret for this and promised to bury Hong Shiqi generously. As for the questioning of crimes, it is even more nonsense. Haiya City has always been the most loyal vassal sect of the Wuliang Sword Sect, and only Lin Jianxing, the head of the sect, will follow suit!

However, just like the results of many rumors refuted in Sea Cliff City before, this hypocritical refuted rumor cannot stand up to scrutiny at all.

Listening to the appearance fee of the beautiful killer of the golden core stage of Heyu Pavilion, at least it costs millions of spirit stone coins, and even more in special circumstances. Stone Coin Cash.

Apart from the eye-catching Sea Cliff, who else would pay such a high price to buy the life of a mere Qi Refining Stage cultivator?

Faced with the rumors in Haiya City, the Haiya City Lord's Mansion did not intend to continue to refute the rumors, but just held a grand funeral for the unfortunately killed shopkeeper Hong with great fanfare.

However, this vigorous funeral only let more people know the news of Hong Shiqi's death. As for the rumors of the city lord's mansion and the high-profile funeral, they were all interpreted as Haiya's means of killing and punishing people. , and Hong Shiqi's body should be carried around Haiya City for exhibition to deter all speculators who are about to make a move.

Since then, Zhu Ziming has become a plague-like existence. The chambers of commerce that hold the real estate in Haiya City don't even dare to meet him, let alone quotes, for fear of blood splashing on themselves one day.

After Zhu Ziming's credit was completely bankrupt, although Liu Hanxing was very disappointed with his ability, he had no choice but to "convince people with reason" himself.

Since Hong Shiqi had already died in Huangquan, and the entire Hong family had no other heir with spiritual root qualifications, the Shunfeng Warehouse was logically inherited by Hong Shiqi's eldest son.

In normal times, Hong Shiqi's eldest son would have inherited hundreds of thousands of Lingshi coins at a young age, and he might not even be able to sleep because of his excitement. However, the Shunfeng Warehouse has become a storm of contradictions between the Sea Cliff and Liu Hanxing. Now, if he had a choice, he would just hand over the warehouse to any random stranger.

It's a pity that in today's Haiya City, no one dares to take over his family's property, even if it is given away for free, no one dares to take it!

Hong Shiqi's eldest son had no choice but to hang up the exemption card, pretending that "this warehouse has been closed indefinitely", trying to stay out of trouble.

It's just that he didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble found him.

Not long after, he received a notice that Liu Hanxing, vice president of Lingshi Reserve Bank, wanted to meet him in person.

If it was Zhu Ziming's visit, Hong Shiqi's eldest son would definitely thank the guests behind closed doors, and he might even go to the Haiya Department for help, but Liu Hanxing even came to the door himself, and the Hong family couldn't help but welcome them. Great monk Danqi wants to see you as a mortal, do you still dare not see him?
Don't you want to live?

And Liu Hanxing's purpose of finding him is also very simple, that is to buy the land under the name of Shunfeng Warehouse to open Shantang!

No counter-offer, 20 spirit stone coins!

This quotation is even lower than the fair value of Shunfeng Warehouse.

However, Liu Hanxing went out in person, and the effect was not the same as that of Zhu Ziming.

After a bit of arguing between the two sides, and Liu Hanxing's promise that he would personally escort the Hong family to an outlying island for refuge, the Hong family could only hold their noses and agreed to transfer the land to the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce at a low price. It is said that when the two parties signed the contract, the young master of the Hong family even " Touched" to cry.

And on the second day after the two parties signed the contract, Tinghe Yuge put out a high-priority entrustment to take the lives of hundreds of members of the Hong family, and the reward amount was a full 200 ​​million yuan in Lingshi coins. , Even the watchdog was not spared, which also made all the chambers of commerce in Haiya City feel terrified.

Facing the blatant intimidation by the Haiya Faction, Liu Hanxing of course attached great importance to it. A few days later, according to the agreement between the two parties, he arranged for the Hong family members to take a merchant ship to an outlying island for refuge, and personally arranged for the monks of the Wuliang Sword Sect to escort them.

No matter how daring the Haiya sect is, they would not dare to kill the monks of the Infinite Sword Sect.The merchant ship seeking political asylum finally successfully arrived at the vast array of smoke and waves off the outlying islands.

The Wanli Yanbo Formation has the supreme power to seal the aura of heaven and earth. After a merchant ship enters the Wanli Yanbo Formation, neither the Wuliangjian Sect nor the Haiya Sect can continue to monitor the status of the merchant ship.

Under normal circumstances, merchant ships would be completely safe here.

But just when this merchant ship entered the interior of the Yanbo Formation and was about to sail to Yanbo Port, an accident happened.

According to the statement given by Yanbo Island, the merchant ship that the Hong family boarded suddenly suffered a serious water leak, and then quickly overturned and sank outside Yanbo Port. Xu Tong, the lord of Yanbo Island, said that because the ship sank too fast, they did not It was too late to call for rescue.Therefore, the final result of this shipwreck was that none of the passengers on board survived!

After the news was sent back to Haiya City, public opinion was in an uproar.

The shipwreck of the Hong family's merchant ship had almost written the word "suspicious" on his face.

First of all, the Hong family's merchant ship has only traveled less than [-] miles from entering the Yanbo Island Wharf. Even if there is a problem with the ocean-going merchant ship just after entering the formation, Yanbo Island will not be too late to start rescue. .

Secondly, the merchant ship almost sank outside the wharf of Yanbo Island. Even if Yanbo Island did not take any rescue measures, some lucky ones would always be washed ashore by the tide.

Therefore, some people already suspected that the ship was sunk by Haiya's allies attached to outlying islands. It was even possible that Xu Tong, the lord of Yanbo Island, personally killed the Hong family according to the order of Haiya.
