The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 503
Although Liu Hanxing was unwilling to quarrel with the Haiya faction, the Haiya faction was also unwilling to entangle with Liu Hanxing for a long time.

Although Liu Hanxing seemed to have been tricked by the Haiya faction during this period of time, and was even embarrassingly thrown on the front page of the "Cultivation Finance Weekly", the price paid by the Haiya faction was extremely huge.

After all, no matter how powerful the Sea Cliff faction is, they are still living in the territory of the Wuliang Sword Sect. They must not really do anything to Liu Hanxing and his subordinates. They can only mobilize resources from all parties as much as possible and carry out non-violent non-cooperation with them. The cost of this large-scale siege is far beyond what ordinary vassal sects can bear.

Just hiring Tinghe Yuge killer to kill people, and buying off-site people like Gu Jianming, the great elder of Hanguangsaber faction, and Xi Jinhu, editor-in-chief of "Cultivation Finance Weekly", the direct cost of capital consumed by Haiya faction has exceeded 1000 million yuan Lingshi coins, this is not counting the indirect losses caused by the emergency closure of the city when the monsters attacked the city, and the continuous turmoil in Haiya City recently, which caused normal local commercial activities.

If the direct losses and indirect losses are all added up, the total cost of the Haiya Department's pursuit and interception of Liu Hanxing during this period may have already exceeded 2000 million yuan in spirit stone coins.

Even if the Sea Cliff faction was entrusted by the Wuliang Sword Sect to organize a fleet to launch an outlying island war, its direct military expenditure was only more than 600 million yuan in Lingshi coins, but now the cost of chasing and intercepting Liu Hanxing is enough to support three outlying island wars. Even the annual financial income of the Eagle Faction next door may not reach this amount!

And this is because the other vassal sects are secretly cooperating with the Haiya faction's blockade, and the Haiya faction did not let the Haiya faction spend extra money on public relations. If the hidden support provided by other vassal sects is included, the account is already astronomical The numbers are gone.

On the surface, Liu Hanxing lost to the Haiya Department, but in fact he lost to the huge amount of spirit stone coins that the Haiya Department threw out.

Therefore, President Liu was not wronged to lose!

But no matter how rich and powerful the Haiya faction is, it is impossible to maintain such a high capital expenditure for a long time. Because the amount of this shortfall is too large, the senior management of the Haiya faction has even been forced to pay all the salaries and benefits of the Haiya faction disciples this year. It was abruptly cut by [-]%.

And this 20% salary cut is already the result of the best efforts of the Big Three of the Haiya Department.

You must know that whether it was Jiang Huaan who drove Song Feifan, Su Yuanfeng who invited Gu Jianming, or Han Xinhe who moved to attend Jinhu, none of them took the big account of the Haiya Department, but these three paid for it themselves, and most of the remaining capital expenditures , Su Yuanfeng also solved it through the channel of Haiya Bank, otherwise the financial gap of the Haiya Department this year will be even greater, and there may even be major internal problems.

If it weren't for the fact that the incentive and restraint mechanism of the Haiya faction is more advanced than other traditional sects, and it is more similar to the limited liability company of the earth, the interests of several major families (shareholders) of the Haiya faction are bound to the interests of the Haiya faction than other sects of cultivation. The higher-ups are stronger, and if they were replaced by other traditional sects, Liu Hanxing might have started fighting internally because of the huge cost sharing problem.

But the Sea Cliff System only temporarily suppressed internal conflicts.

As the total expenditure of the Haiya faction will increase in the future, I am afraid that this money will not be easily digested by the major factions of the Haiya faction, and the internal conflicts surrounding this money will inevitably arise. There will be more and more.

Therefore, the Big Three of the Sea Cliff System also reached a consensus:
The Sea Cliff Department must not be consumed endlessly with Liu Hanxing!
Han Xinhe chose to directly suppress Liu Hanxing's reputation through the "Cultivation Finance Weekly", because the Haiya faction deliberately escalated the conflict between the two sides and forced Liu Hanxing to showdown as soon as possible.

If Liu Hanxing chooses to admit defeat and stop the loss, then the Sea Cliff Department has undoubtedly won an epic victory, but if Liu Hanxing refuses to admit defeat, the two sides can also show their cards as soon as possible for a final contest to avoid falling into a bottomless war of attrition.

Facing the pressure from the Haiya faction, Liu Hanxing had no choice.

It is impossible for the arrogant Liu Hanxing to admit defeat. After all, the last hole card in Liu Hanxing's hand is his master Lin Jianxing. No, even Lin Jianxing won't allow it.

Although Liu Hanxing knew that he had lost a lot of points by seeking Lin Jianxing's help, even if he could use Lin Jianxing's power to settle the sea cliff department, it would be a miserable victory at best, at least a bad guy who "can't do things without Lin Jianxing" There is no escape from fame.

But now Liu Hanxing has been cornered, and there is really no other way to cut through the mess.

If he was teased a few more times by the Haiya family, Liu Hanxing would not be as simple as losing face, but would be completely reduced to the rhythm of the Zhongzhou cultivation world's laughing stock.

In desperation, he had no choice but to return to the headquarters of the Wuliang Sword Sect, expressing that he was invincible with two fists and four hands, and asked the headquarters of the Wuliang Sword Sect to send support. In order to gain enough strong support, he even took the initiative to interrupt Lin Jianxing's retreat practice.

Lin Jianxing originally thought that by the time he broke through the test, the pilot work of Zhongzhou's social security system reform should be almost done, but he didn't expect that Liu Hanxing had been busy for more than half a year, and the Haiya City Shantang even had a complete room. No house was seen.

It just doesn't make sense!
After listening to Liu Hanxing's report, Lin Jianxing flew into a rage on the spot, and scolded his eldest disciple head-on and face-to-face, but Liu Hanxing had no choice but to bow his head and admit his mistake like Ma Kezhang, and let Lin Jianxing scold him to his heart's content.

Lin Jianxing was angry, the problem still needs to be solved.

In order to completely settle the crisis in Haiya City, Lin Jianxing finally agreed to Liu Hanxing's request, and once again dispatched a direct descendant of more than ten people from the headquarters of the Wuliang Sword Sect to serve as supervisors and security guards for the Shantang of the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce.

Most of these monks are the outer sect deacons of the foundation-building stage of the Wuliang Sword Sect, plus Liu Hanxing, a monk of the Jindan stage, and the two inner sect deacons, Yang Chenglong and Ma Kezhang, it can be said that the Wuliang Sword Sect has invested heavily in the Haiya area. , Without affecting the normal operation of the Wuliang Sword Sect, almost all the mobile forces of the Wuliang Sword Sect during the foundation period were withdrawn.

Of course, it’s certainly not that the Wuliang Sword Sect cannot send other Jindan stage masters as reinforcements, but almost all Jindan stage masters have important positions. It’s no problem to go to Haiya City to help temporarily, but they want to stay in Haiya City permanently. , it is simply not possible.

If Lin Jianxing intends to completely destroy the sea cliff system, the matter is actually simple. Even if he recruits twenty or thirty Jindan stage masters to attack at the same time, it is no problem, and even he himself can lead a team to attack, but if a few Jindan stage It is very difficult for Lin Jianxing to work as a foreman in 24-hour shifts for monks.

After all, the saboteurs in Haiya City usually hide in the dark, and no one knows when they will attack. It only takes a few seconds for Gu Jianming, the great elder of the Hanguangjian sect, to summon the meteorite. However, monks of the same level need to be guarded 24 hours a day, and the price paid by both parties is completely disproportionate.

Fortunately, through the previous confrontation, Liu Hanxing has already seen that although the Haiya faction used endless tricks, they did not dare to tear their skin openly, even Zhu Ziming and the others did not dare to move.

In this case, sending enough outer disciples in the foundation establishment period is enough for the Haiya faction to be wary.

Ma Kezhang can do badly alone, but can so many people do badly together?
