Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

In the end, Li Zhi casually dropped the biggest bombshell:

"Qiyuan has agreed to jointly establish a securities regulatory agency with Parliament to implement dual regulation."

At the opportune moment, Mingchun, who initiated the emergency meeting, said: "Members who agree to establish a securities regulatory agency, please vote in favor; members who disagree with establishing a securities regulatory agency, please vote against. Voting will now begin."

Above the heads of these legislators, signs reading "Agree" and "Disagree" began to appear in the language of the Twin Moon Kingdom.

Li Zhi glanced around and saw that the effects of the Bewitching Fruit were not bad; currently, four-fifths of the votes were in favor.

"Voting is over."

"With 98 members in favor, 21 members against, and 9 members abstaining, the securities regulatory agency was formally established."

……

Li Zhi created a shareholder group chat, sent the news of the market regulators and the stock exchange listing to all shareholders, and without waiting for their reaction, directly...

Li Zhi: [We previously discussed offering 10% of the exchange's shares to the public. After discussions with the council and Qiyuan, I plan to issue 150 million shares at a price of 50 silver coins per share. We welcome any thoughts you may have.]

Forging: [Why can 10% become 1.5 million shares? I don't understand.]

Li Zhi: [My target market capitalization for the exchange is estimated at 750 million gold coins, with 10% of the shares worth 7.5 million gold coins. The price per share is 50 silver coins. This is to allow even the lowest-ranking orcs to use their savings of six months to a year to subscribe to one share, thus expanding the scope of subscription.]

Li Zhi: [50 silver coins multiplied by 1.5 million shares equals 7500 million gold coins, which is exactly 10% of our target market value. Therefore, the exchange plans to issue 1.5 million shares.]

Chen: [7500 million gold coins... Do you think we can raise 7500 million gold coins with only 10% of the shares?]

Li Zhi: [I think it's okay.]

Shadow: [So that means if it works out, my 4% stake will turn into 3000 million gold coins?]

Li Zhi: [Theoretically, that's correct, but shares issued on the exchange can only be resold, not redeemed. If you resell them, you might get a higher price, or you might get a lower price.]

Shadow: [I support it.]

Forging: [Support! Support! Support!]

Canghai: [Wow? You can do that? You humans have so many tricks up your sleeves. I have no objection.]

Celia: [Are you sure you can sell 1.5 million copies? There might not be that many merchants and professionals on the exchange's opening day.]

Chen: [I also think you're being too greedy.]

Li Zhi: [The council and Qiyuan have jointly approved the securities regulatory agency, which will announce it to the Tianqi Continent via the Sky Screen before 6 PM. I will also announce the time and location of the share offering via the Sky Screen after the council and Qiyuan's joint announcement, and tell everyone that as long as they become shareholders of the exchange, they will have a share in the exchange.]

Li Zhi: [If you were in this situation, and you saw these two guys appear at the same time, and each one only cost 50 silver coins, what would you do?]

Silence fell.

Duan: [I'll spend all my savings to buy our stocks!]

Li Zhi: [It's not just you who will buy it, don't members of parliament buy it? Don't their families buy it? Don't their relatives and friends buy it?]

Although each share only costs 50 silver coins, Li Zhi never believed that the majority of buyers would be ordinary traders.

The primary goal of releasing so many shares is, of course, to make money, but another, even more important goal is to make them available to people of more races and different levels of alien races and humans.

The more races that own shares in an exchange, and the wider the distribution of high and low-level entities, the more stable the exchange's foundation will be.

After listening to what Li Zhi said.

Canghai exclaimed in astonishment: "[Is this what a merchant is...?]"

Chen: [Can shareholders also buy?]

Li Zhi: [Okay.]

The group chat fell silent.

Li Zhi received three messages at once.

Celia: [I want 1000 million shares.]

Chen: [I want 500 million shares.]

Forging: [The Rock Nest Clan wants to buy 500 million shares!]

Ming Chun: [I will buy another 100 million shares.]

1.5 million shares were instantly divided up by the exchange's shareholders for 2100 million shares.

Li Zhi accepted all offers and sent the contract directly.

—Anyway, these shares won't shake her position.

All the shareholders saw were messages popping up in the jointly monitored account:

[Celia transfers 500 million gold coins to the exchange]

[250 million gold coins transferred to the exchange]

[250 million gold coins transferred to the exchange account]

[50 gold coins will be transferred to the exchange next spring]

……

Not only the shareholders of the exchange, but also many members of the council who exchanged contact information with Li Zhi before she left.

When Li Zhi returned to Buwangwei, these councilors had already purchased nearly 200 million shares.

The exchange account originally contained 10 gold coins from Chen, 15 gold coins from Canghai, and 60 gold coins from Yulinghuang, totaling 81 gold coins.

After Celia and the councilors made their purchases, the amount in the exchange account reached 1231 million gold coins.

Based on Li Zhi's current shares in the exchange, not counting her own balance, her net worth has reached 418 million gold coins.

And after the opening tomorrow, her net worth will see a surge.

Even if Yi invested all 20 million in liquid assets into the second and third place, he still wouldn't be able to catch up with her net worth.

Unless she dares to steal from the Yuling Kingdom's treasury.

The sense of urgency that Li Zhi felt finally lessened a bit.

While overseeing the construction progress of the territory's defensive fortifications and the new canteen and dormitories, she pondered the entire process of the exchange's opening tomorrow, and waited for Tu to return.

Before we knew it, the sun, which had been hanging high in the sky, began to show signs of setting.

A rainbow appeared in the sky.

Beneath the rainbow light was Zero's expressionless face and Representative Olivier.

The employees, who were busy at work on the premises, subconsciously looked up.

Li Zhi had already arrived at the newly decorated entrance of the Buwangwei Exchange.

Olivier: "With the centennial rating approaching, in order to give all races on the Apocalypse Continent a new opportunity before the rating, the council held an emergency meeting and approved the application of the human race's Li Zhi to establish a political supervision agency together with Apocalypse."

O'Lewisner: "The Parliament and the Foundation jointly oversee the issuance, listing, trading, custody, and settlement activities of the exchange to prevent violations."

Zero: "I hereby declare the securities regulatory agency officially established."

The new power structure announced in the sky was brief and vague.

Most races on the Tianqi Continent did not immediately understand what it meant.

But the humans scattered across the four continents all understood it.

The chat area on the Eastern Continent has exploded:

[？？？？？？？]

[Is Li Zhi the 3-star 5-cost character? I remember her name was mentioned when they announced she had obtained the Heart of the Strong?]

[It's her... I can't shut up anymore, is this really a survival world?]

[What do you think Samsung's five key personnel should do to persuade Parliament and Qiyuan to establish a securities regulatory agency?]

[Is this hard to guess? At this crucial juncture, once her exchange goes public, she can only be number one on the racial wealth list, no one else.]

Wow, wow... I never dreamed you could do something like this...

[It's just about establishing a securities regulatory agency; anyone in the financial industry could think of that. The real thing is that she could persuade the parliament and even get to know Qi Yuan—that's what makes her a true genius!]

[I'm convinced, truly convinced this time. Three stars, five cost, the only true god among humans, without a doubt.]
