The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 755: Two or three things about the Cultivation Capital Market (Part )

The opening ceremony of the Merit Bank was undoubtedly a major event that shocked the entire cultivation world, but there were a few high-level cultivators who had known the inside story for a long time and were not affected. The biggest traitor of the Wuliang Sword Sect was recently invited back to Zhongzhou by Mo Yunlan to replace Liu Li Feiyu, who Han Xing took over as the chairman of the Financial Management Committee of Wuliang Sword Sect, is one of them.

After Lin Jianxing's downfall, the veteran of the Lingshi Reserve Bank, who had a good relationship with Huoyunzhou and Zhongzhou's cultivation circles, was invited back to take charge of the overall situation. It was a very reasonable personnel arrangement from every angle.

In fact, Li Feiyu originally hoped to directly serve as the president of the Lingshi Reserve Bank. However, although the current president, Yuntianhua, is not very capable, he is a great hero in fighting against the monks of the World Sect. His lifespan has not been exhausted, and he has more lifespan than the other party. Under such circumstances, Li Feiyu was not so embarrassed that he had to pull the opponent down.

But it is not appropriate for you to ask Li Feiyu to be Yuntianhua's deputy. After all, Li Feiyu is a half-step Nascent Soul monk with a higher level of cultivation than Yuntianhua. How can a monk with a higher level of cultivation be the deputy?

This is completely inconsistent with the rules of the world of cultivation!

After much deliberation, only the position of Chairman of the Financial Supervisory Commission is most suitable for him.

Although the power of the Wuliang Sword Sect Financial Supervision Committee is limited to Zhongzhou, unlike the Lingshi Reserve Bank, which has influence across the entire Jiuzhou cultivation world, Zhongzhou itself is the birthplace of the modern cultivation financial system. In the Matthew Effect of finance, A strong market undoubtedly occupies a huge first-mover advantage.

For example, out of trust in the Ascension Immortal, many overseas chambers of commerce will choose to list in Zhongzhou. Therefore, Zhongzhou’s stock trading volume even exceeds the sum of the other six continents. Another example is that due to its geographical location in the center of several major cultivation continents, Zhongzhou’s bulk The turnover of the commodity market also accounts for about 40% of the entire cultivation world. Among them, the Haiya City Commodity Exchange alone accounts for nearly half of the transaction share of the Kyushu cultivation world.

Even though Zhongzhou was under the leadership of the secularists, which once caused a lot of capital to flee in panic, it did not completely change the Matthew Effect.

In fact, the situation on Earth is no different. Although U.S. imperialism is the largest country in the world and the center of global stock trading, the trading center for traditional trading categories such as non-ferrous metals, precious metals, and foreign exchange is still located in London.

Because of this, although the seven sects have their own financial management offices, the power of the Financial Supervision Committee of the Wuliang Sword Sect is almost that of other copycat institutions combined. It can be called the second most powerful position in the cultivation financial world. Today, the Lingshi Reserve The elders of the bank are dying day by day. As long as Li Feiyu occupies this position first, the position of president of Lingshi Reserve Bank will be his sooner or later.

It is precisely because this position is so important and can even affect the financial stability of the cultivation world that Mo Yunlan and Yang Lu have revealed the details of Gongde Bank to Li Feiyu in advance.

Therefore, even on the day of the listing ceremony, Li Feiyu came to the Financial Supervision Commission's office in Yunlaichengfang City as usual and ordered all members to be present at work and not to ask for leave under any excuse.

Of course, it is useless to take a temporary leave to attend the listing ceremony. After three months of preparation, the current basic income account opened by Gongde Bank for mortals can only barely cover most of the Haiya Plain area. Even if cultivators from other places are present, Visiting does not qualify you to purchase merit.

But the world of cultivation is not the modern earth after all, and the sect's management of cultivators is not that strict. In addition, the listing ceremony is the headline news in the world of cultivation. In normal times, even the chairman of the Financial Supervision Commission may not be able to restrain his subordinates. The disciples of the Sword Sect are even more worried about forcing them to work at their posts.

After all, most of the disciples of the Wuliang Sword Sect who can work in the committee are supported by their ancestors and families. Even if the previous presidents are highly respected monks of the Wuliang Sword Sect, it is not appropriate to have too strict restrictions on these second-generation immortals with profound backgrounds. , so as not to affect his reputation in the circle of high-level monks.

But these days are different.

Any cultivator with a little common sense can see that Li Feiyu's replacement of Ti Liu Hanxing is definitely not an ordinary personnel change, but a counterattack by the worldly party against the monks from the worldly sect. Although it will not take down all the monks from the worldly school background in the committee, it will definitely be done. We need to find many typical elements and clean them out, so when facing the newly appointed president, no matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, on the surface they all show a spiritual outlook of "loyal to the public, honest and practical".

As for why we emphasize "on the surface"...

"Li Zilun, is this the reason why you vetoed the merger and acquisition of Qifeitian Lingzhou?"

The early Jindan monk, whom Li Feiyu called Li Zilun, was the person in charge of the merger and acquisition supervision business of the Financial Supervision Commission. He was also one of the monks promoted by Liu Hanxing when he was in charge of the commission.

The Feitian Lingzhou merger and acquisition mentioned by Li Feiyu is exactly a major merger and acquisition transaction of the Wuliang Sword Sect Stock Exchange that was just vetoed by Li Zilun this year. This transaction was led by Penglai Pavilion of the Eastern Ocean Island sect and its subordinates who operate Feitian Lingzhou. Penglai Chamber of Commerce for boat transportation, with the purpose of acquiring Feitian Lingzhou Transportation Chamber of Commerce, which is headquartered in Yangjiang Port, Huoyun Prefecture.

Faced with Li Feiyu's question, Li Zilun carefully replied: "President, according to the charter set by President Lu that year, any merger or acquisition that can form a substantial monopoly in any relevant business field will not be approved unless specifically authorized by the Wuliang Sword Sect." All have the right to veto it.' After many rounds of field investigations by the monks we sent, if the Penglai Chamber of Commerce acquisition case is successfully completed, it will form a monopoly on the special spirit boat trade in the northern part of the Eastern Ocean. We are doing everything for the Infinite Sword Sect. For the sake of the well-being of Zhongzhou cultivators, we must take the initiative to stop this monopolistic behavior." As he spoke, Li Zilun also escaped with a thick stack of investigation reports.

If he were an ordinary monk from the Transcendental Sect, he would probably be choked speechless when he heard "the regulations set by President Lu back then." What's more, since Li Zilun has produced the investigation report, he must have done enough homework before.

However, Li Feiyu is not an ordinary monk of the sect.

As a veteran who once started a business with Mr. Lu, Li Feiyu has experienced many of the tricks of this group of people.

He didn't even look at the investigation report handed over by Li Zilun, he threw it aside and said with a faint smile: "What a coincidence, the charter you mentioned happened to be the one I proposed to President Lu back then, but I feel now, Not only should this charter be changed, I think the area under your butt also needs to be changed!”

Hearing Li Feiyu's rude remarks, Li Zilun was also confused:

What does it mean?

You made the charter yourself back then, but now you don’t acknowledge it if you don’t acknowledge it?

"President, if you are targeting monks like us who are from the worldly sect, just say it straight, there is no need to do this -"

Seeing that Li Zilun was about to bind himself to all the monks of the Transcendental Sect, Li Feiyu immediately raised his hand and interrupted: "Okay, don't continue to pretend to be a loyal minister and good general with me. If you interpret the charter according to your logic, you only need to master As for the right to define 'relevant market', then in theory you have the substantive right to approve any merger and acquisition case. The merger and acquisition behavior is no longer 'it can be done without prohibition by law' advocated by President Lu, but 'without your permission'. No one is allowed to tamper with Zlen’s approval!”

Before Li Zilun could refute, Li Feiyu pointed to the cover of the report and said: "You told me about the 'monopoly position of the dedicated spirit boat trade in the northern part of the Eastern Ocean'? How many more attributes do you want to add to this monopoly? The northern part of the Eastern Ocean How can a chamber of commerce that operates a spirit boat monopolize the trade? Even if you wipe out these two chambers of commerce, can you still prevent the monks from physically carrying goods? A special soul boat for cultivation resources? The soul boat trade is not a high-barrier business to make money. I think the profits of the soul boat trade of the Penglai Chamber of Commerce are too small and they can't raise the spirit stone coins to honor you, so they have some kind of monopoly for no reason. status!"

Seeing Li Feiyu reveal the truth mercilessly, Li Zilun simply stopped pretending: "President, you don't want to destroy our approval power, do you? It's not easy for monks like me to practice, and this is what I have in hand. The power to take action is still endorsed by President Lu. Can we still use it? With just the monthly salary given to us by Wuliangjian, are we going to have brothers follow you in the future? Who will be the president of our committee? None of us are fools. Most of them are well aware of our internal situation. It would be easy for you to use this as an excuse to take away my position. But if the brothers have nothing to eat in the future, I am afraid that President Lu himself will also sit in the position of president after he is resurrected. It’s unstable!”

I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but Li Zilun obviously raised his voice in the end. Considering that the minimum number of cultivators from the Infinite Sword Sect who can serve on the committee are Foundation Establishment cultivators, as long as there is no deliberate noise barrier, the argument between Li Feiyu and Li Zilun just now was enough. Let everyone hear it.

Even through his peripheral vision, Li Feiyu noticed that many people were already secretly looking this way.

Faced with Li Zilun's angry threat, Li Feiyu smiled nonchalantly and said with pride: "With all due respect, if you still need to realize the pitiful power you have in order to earn enough spiritual energy for practice, Stone coins, it shows that your ability alone is not enough to hold a position here, and a capable person still needs to make money through such dirty means as you? "

Hearing Li Feiyu's taunt, Li Zlen's face suddenly turned red.

Because what Li Feiyu said is indeed true. Everyone knows that the financial background of "Stock God Li Feiyu" is unfathomable, and his wealth is really not earned through deception, but earned through stock trading when the Wuliangjian Sect Stock Exchange was founded. Yes, Li Feiyu often showed off this matter intentionally or unintentionally, creating an image of integrity that he relied on his ability to earn a living.

After being at a loss for words for a long time, Li Zilun finally thought of how to refute: "Sir, times have changed! When the Wuliangjian Sect Stock Exchange was first established, even a tied dog could make money. Now the stock exchange has been in operation for several years. For a hundred years, the shady inside has been unfathomable. The listed chambers of commerce are thinking of how to harm everyone. Where are the investment opportunities? You have already made enough money to go ashore, and it doesn’t hurt to stand and talk, but what about everyone? manage!"

Hearing this, many onlookers couldn't help but shake their heads. Although Li Zilun was right, although today's Wuliangjianpai stock exchange is full of big holes, the Wuliangjianpai stock exchange in the early years The exchange is by no means a treasure trove for picking up money. Except for stock gods like Li Feiyu who got rich, there are more bankrupt leeks like Mingzhu Laozu. There is no such thing as a dog that can make money.

Even if Li Zilun was born 500 years earlier, no one thinks he could make much money.

Just when everyone thought that Li Feiyu was going to use the topic to continue making fun of him, Li Feiyu did not think it was appropriate to chase Sun Yong away from the enemy. Instead, he unexpectedly suggested: "Okay, since you said so, then if I have the ability to lead Li Feiyu Everyone is standing here to make money. Can you, a worldly loser like you, take the lead and get as far away as possible? Don’t let me take the initiative to drive you away?”

(By the way, can anyone guess the prototype of Li Zilun and the merger and acquisition case? Hint: American)
