Retrograde for thousands of years

Chapter 478 Ordinary Life

A person who is invincible in the world, a person who is richest in the world, a person who can shock the world with just a raise of his hand, will live in a turbulent era?
Down, down!
The one-week stock market crash is just the beginning. The ensuing global economic crisis has revealed its sharp fangs. In this globalized world, no matter what kind of company it is, it will borrow money from banks and raise funds. This kind of leverage can allow companies to borrow money in normal times. Enterprises have overcome many difficulties, but when they encounter an economic crisis, it is a fatal poison.

And this is a super-large-scale, super-wide-scale financial crisis.

one year later.

Military vehicles drove silently in the market, and the prosperity of the past has turned into depression.

This country in the southern continent, whose main income is the export of resources such as iron ore, oil, and timber, has practically gone bankrupt.

There are many skinny children begging on the roadside. A year ago, they were the proud sons of their families. Many women with scantily clad clothes were posing in front of the base. Many of them were white-collar workers, middle class, Doctors and even lawyers.

Even if you saved a lot of money before the economic crisis, even if you didn’t have a loan to buy a house or a car, even if you were frugal and diligent in your daily life, even if you were smart and knew how to manage finances, inflation has devalued the national currency by $[-] in half a year. Are you afraid of a hundred times?Are you afraid that the government will forcibly confiscate foreign currency deposits in personal banks and replace them with waste paper?
Just when you think you have been careful enough, the whole land begins to collapse. At this time, what can they do?
When the country goes bankrupt, how many chances do ordinary people have to protect themselves? You think you are on the roof when the biochemical crisis comes, but in fact you will definitely be among the zombies.

Zhou Huan's car passed in front of them. There was no mission system in this world, and Zhou Huan had no way to save them. And even if he wanted to do charity, why not use the money to do it in the Empire or the Western Alliance?
Time passed. During this year, Zhou Huan served peacefully in the base. He was proficient in mechanics, computers, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and even all aspects of functions. He was known as the master key in the base. .

He lived a peaceful life, receiving a monthly salary and allowance of 2 yuan. He finished his work, helped everyone, and was promoted twice. He is now a lieutenant colonel (external experts can be promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel during their service). (military rank, I will no longer have this status after returning to China), refused a higher-level promotion, and has a very good relationship with everyone in the base.

There is no slap in the face or the difficulty of choosing one of the two (either performing a dangerous mission or becoming a part of the system, etc.). Smart people will avoid crises, and capable people will eliminate crises in advance. The commander of the base said that even if it is a gun, Putting it on his forehead, he would not let Zhou Huan take risks - when a person can compare with a maintenance team, he can handle various military network failures smoothly, he can treat headaches and fevers, and give advice on various martial arts skills. At that time, his status was naturally very high.

Not to mention, Zhou Huan is still helping everyone avoid financial investment risks and avoid being bankrupted by crazy inflation. Many people have accepted his kindness. Every day, Zhou Huan receives more than ten military orders from Fengnan Continent. Email from the military chief or senior officer at the base.

In The Shawshank Redemption, the protagonist was able to help the warden avoid taxes and get greater benefits. So what if he could help wardens and judicial officials across the country invest and make money?

The entire southern continent's military system knows that there is such a financial expert, such a strange person. He does not participate in everyone's smuggling to make money, and he does not participate in any illegal activities. But this is also a good thing, and it makes more people feel relieved.

The market is right in front of you.

"Uncle Zhou, you really don't need to go out to buy anything. We will definitely deliver the goods you want and guarantee the quality."

A young man waiting at the market saw Zhou Huan's appearance and rushed over immediately, enthusiastically taking Zhou Huan into the store.

Zhou Huan is here to purchase ingredients. He spends a lot of money and purchases a lot of food. The young father's shop has not closed down and can still be maintained, which is inseparable from Zhou Huan's support.

Under the economic crisis, if industry is ruined, how can agriculture survive?
The harvested vegetables were ignored and were rotting in the ground. Ripe fruits were piled randomly in the ground, with flies buzzing around. Large numbers of dairy cows and beef cattle were killed. The country was proud of its agricultural products. The market is heading for collapse.

All products need to be sold. How can agriculture improve when the main consumer groups are gone?What Zhou Huan paid was the empire's banknotes, which were now hard currency, and the country's currency had devalued to the point where even his mother couldn't recognize it.

"Uncle Zhou, my cousin and the others want to smuggle to the empire. I don't know if you have any good ways. Money is not a problem."

When seeing Zhou Huan to the door, the young man suddenly asked like this.

"I...I don't care about this matter. You can see for yourself."

"Uncle Zhou, many people say you are a good person and a saint. Please help us. This country is finished and will fall into hell soon. If it weren't for the support of your base here, this place would be like a saint. It’s the same as Songcheng.”

The young man speaks Imperial dialect very fluently. Many people in this country are also proud to learn to speak Imperial dialect. The city he said is the second largest city in the country. There was a sudden riot a month ago and the whole city was in fighting. , the raging fire is still burning, and hundreds of years of accumulation have been reduced to ruins.

"Mr. Zhou, please have mercy."

The young man lowered his head and knelt in front of Zhou Huan.

"No, I can't help you. Also, if you keep doing this, I won't come to you to make purchases in the future."

Zhou Huan shook his head, and the officer who came in with Zhou Huan pretended to turn a blind eye. Even if Zhou Huan promised to help this young man, he would not say anything. Smuggling to the Empire or the Holy Alliance has become the middle and lower class of the country. The only hope.

It is said that this country will soon pass a decree to confiscate the gold in the hands of the people and redeem it with its own currency.

The purchasing vehicle left the market silently. The accompanying officer thought for a while and said to Zhou Huan.

"Mr. Zhou, you are a good man. If you want to help him, I can make arrangements. Anyway, there are many people smuggling across the border now. This young man can do it too. We can save his family."

He didn't mention the reward. If it weren't for Zhou Huan's help, his home in the imperial capital might have been confiscated by the bank.

"Save him...then how much more can we save?"

Zhou Huan pointed to the beggars, prostitutes, and everything desolate outside the market with a half-smile.

"There are some things I can't help with."
