Primary school students of all worlds

"Yes, they will return it, but at a rate of one-tenth of the original amount every three days."

Meiyou looked in awe at Wang Quan, who was still telling the story. "Three days later, the villagers who received the first payment of interest will definitely think they've found an easy way to make a fortune, and will put more money into the magic box. Wang Quan will use this money as interest to distribute to the villagers. Then, the villagers who got a bargain will be even more eager to put money into the magic box, and they may even spread the word..."

"hiss!"

Li Xiaolang gasped and looked at Wang Quan in shock. "With such high interest, how could he afford it without Princess Mao Yue's help?"

"Master, he doesn't have to pay it back."

Mana shook her head and said, "Master, all you need to do is stuff the villagers' generations-old savings into a box when the scam's funding chain is about to break and they can't pay the interest, then walk away. All that's left behind is a Konoha Village that's been decimated by multiple leverage."

"..."

"..."

"..."

After a long silence, Illya ran to the crowded stall and looked at Wang Quan with a raised smile on his face.

"I'll never complain about selling milk tea being boring again! So... can you still sell milk tea?"

Primary School Students and Business Empire: The 196th Village Chief is going to arrange a job for me?

"Hey, can you continue selling milk tea?"

Looking at Illya who was earnestly asking him to stop, Wang Quan shrugged and said, "Of course, I didn't intend to use such a trick that would lower my status. I just wanted to give you a good life."

Li Xiaolang looked at Wang Quan awkwardly: "Your job is too cruel. Sister Mana said that if you succeed in this job, this village will be in chaos."

"It's just one village."

Wang Quan waved his hands nonchalantly. His life's glorious goal was to conquer all of Southeast Asia, and he would find the right moment to strike at Asia. A mere village...

Ah!

The sudden goose bumps on his back made Wang Quan subconsciously turn his head and look forward. The villagers of Konoha were still tightly surrounding the stall he used to implement the Ponzi scheme. Apart from that, there was nothing unusual.

But that feeling of brushing past the huge truck just now...was it just an illusion?

Just as he was wondering, the crowd suddenly became agitated, with cries of "Godaime" ringing out one after another. Then the originally crowded crowd separated from both sides to reveal an aisle, and then a woman in green appeared from the other end of the aisle.

Wang Quan looked at the beautiful lady in front of him with confusion. Her long light yellow hair was gathered into a neat ponytail, there was a rhombus-shaped mark on her forehead, she was wearing a green tea robe, and her bright eyes were staring at him with interest.

"Boy."

The woman spoke, her voice deep and profound, belying her youthful appearance. "Your 'treasure chest' is quite interesting."

"well enough."

Wang Quan signaled his companions behind him to be on high alert, and asked the woman in front of him, who was called the 'fifth generation', "Is there anything wrong, big sister?"

"Nothing, I just heard something strange and unheard of when I was passing by."

The woman in green casually sat on a nearby stool and said with interest to the boy in front of her, who looked no more than ten years old, "I, Tsunade, am a veteran of the casino scene who has been going bankrupt countless times over the years. I'm quite experienced with borrowing money and know how difficult it is to get money from others. But! Even so, I have never promised anyone that if they lend me money, I will pay them back one-tenth of the principal with interest, and that too every three days."

"so what?"

Wang Quan blinked: "Does Tsunade-sister think I'm too outrageous?"

"Do not."

Tsunade crossed her arms and spoke to the boy in front of her, word by word, "I'm just being so sure, boy, you're lying, aren't you?"

"That's right."

Wang Quan nodded nonchalantly and said, "I'm just lying."

"..."

"..."

Tsunade's throat suddenly felt blocked by the unexpected bluntness. As a veteran, she had thousands of ways to play with this cunning little guy, but she didn't expect that the other party not only did not quibble, but admitted it readily. This made her suddenly not know how to respond. She could only wave her hand and let the apprentice behind her help her drive away the villagers who were watching the excitement around her.

"You are quite honest, but..."

Tsunade said thoughtfully to the boy in front of her, "I don't feel your sincerity in admitting your mistake. It's like you're just stating a fact. Didn't your parents tell you not to do such a thing?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Looking at the child in front of her who suddenly fell silent and did not respond, Tsunade's mouth twitched and she realized that she had said the wrong thing.

"You are an orphan."

Tsunade asked in a softer tone. She finally understood why the child in front of her admitted it so honestly. An orphan without parents must be struggling hard to survive. Naturally, he had to learn to steal and lie in order to survive. Since telling the truth could save him less suffering, he would admit it as soon as he was questioned by her.

Thinking of this, Tsunade's eyes softened a little: "Sakura."

"Yes, Tsunade-sama."

A woman with short cherry-colored hair stood out from behind.

"I think I'm still missing a servant to serve me tea and water and clean up, right?"

Sakura was stunned for a moment and was about to ask "Why is there a shortage?", but then she realized that Lady Tsunade wanted to give the orphan in front of her a job, so that this poor orphan who could only make a living by cheating could have a legitimate job.

"Well, we are in need of such a servant."

Tsunade nodded, then looked at the little boy in front of her again: "How about this, kid? As a punishment for you, how about coming to my house and doing chores for me for a few days?"

Hearing this, Wang Quan looked at Tsunade thoughtfully and said, "We are indeed short of money now. I can work for you, but how much do you want to pay?"

The overly direct questioning made Sakura frown. This kid took Lady Tsunade's kindness for granted. Even if he didn't know how to write the word "thank you", at least he shouldn't ask for money directly.

"Just 180 taels."

Tsunade pointed at the Ichiraku Ramen beside her and said unhappily, "That's enough for you to eat three meals of ramen a day."

Hearing this, Rika ran to the ramen stall nearby, took a closer look, then ran back and whispered to Wang Quan in front of Tsunade.

"I've seen it, and they only offer the cheapest soy sauce ramen, the kind that doesn't even let you add an egg!"

"Well……"

Wang Quan muttered, "If I work honestly, I can only earn three bowls of ramen, but the scheme I set up can drain all the savings of the villagers in the village. The gap is too big."

"Ok?"

Tsunade raised her eyebrows and looked at Wang Quan in confusion: "Boy, I can't pretend I didn't hear what you said. What do you mean by draining all the villagers' savings?"

"Eh?"

Wang Quan looked at Tsunade in confusion: "Don't you already know?"

"I just intuitively know that you are cheating, but draining the savings of all the villagers in Konoha?"

Tsunade looked at the little guy in front of her hesitantly, and then looked at the small stall in front of her in confusion. There was only a piece of cloth and a box in front of her. How could these few things cheat all the villagers out of their savings?

"Are you talking nonsense, kid?"

Hearing Tsunade's question, Illya waved her hands in panic: "Big sister, stop talking! What if Wang Quan really destroys Konoha to prove himself? It will be the end of us!"

----------------------

PS: The reason I didn’t update yesterday was not because someone needed my company on Valentine’s Day, nor was it because I pretended to have someone by my side. It was also not because when I was daydreaming about the ideal future wife in the group, someone asked me in the face, “Are you trying so hard to imagine the future because you don’t have one now?” and I broke down. Absolutely not!

Primary School Students and Business Empire: Chapter 197: Gaoxin Primary School Students

Facing Illya's earnest eyes of "Oh, can you please stop asking?", Tsunade smiled without saying anything. She didn't intend to take the words of such a child who could be her grandchild seriously. After all, the child really didn't know how powerful Konoha was. She was just curious about this scam that looked strange no matter how you looked at it.

"If I'm guessing correctly, you're planning to use some special tricks to get money out of the empty box, proving to the villagers that this box is indeed a treasure chest that can continuously take out money. Then, with carefully fabricated lies, you're going to get the villagers to pay hundreds of millions of taels to buy this box."

Tsunade looked at the little boy thoughtfully: "But I always feel that things don't seem to be that simple."

"No, this financial scam is really simple. It's so simple that it doesn't require anything else. All you need is an elementary school student."

Wang Quan waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "This scam isn't about selling this box. It's just a distraction to hide my real goal - to take all the money that other people have stored in the box and earn interest on, and then find the right opportunity to run away."

"Well……"

Tsunade looked at Wang Quan in surprise: "What a novel scam, this is the first time I've heard of it - but this scam is really simple and easy to prevent."

"..."

Wang Quan looked at Tsunade strangely. "Village Chief, are you mistakenly equating 'simple' with 'easy to deal with'?"

Tsunade looked at Wang Quan in confusion, her mind still fuzzy. "The high interest rate is too obvious. It's so easy to catch them all. Isn't that simple?"

"Simplicity means it can become more complex, like financial tea, financial stamps, financial walnuts, and even using high returns instead of interest to lure people into the game."

Wang Quan raised his index finger and said to Tsunade, "In our area, young people who have experienced the information explosion are familiar with this scam, but that doesn't stop people from falling for it every now and then. So simplicity means maximum operability, repeatability, and even plasticity. When anyone can use it, how can you prevent this widespread scam? Moreover, it's targeting human greed, a scam that goes straight to the root of human nature."

"..."

"..."

"..."

After a long silence to digest the information said by the elementary school student, Tsunade was silent for a moment, and looked at Wang Quan with a strange expression: "I don't know what you would do in your place, but here in Konoha, you will be arrested directly by me."

"It's indeed very simple and crude. Then the village chief..."

Wang Quan shook his finger at Tsunade. "Do you want to feel the villagers' wrath towards you? Do you want to see what it's like when they parade around your house all day, demanding that I, the kindhearted man who 'kept all their wealth', be released? Do you think your military might be used to suppress unruly people?"

After imagining these scenes for a while, Tsunade couldn't hold it anymore. She wanted to retract what she had said without much thought. This seemingly simple and easy to deal with scam was not only easy to deal with, but it was no exaggeration to say that it would bring disaster to future generations for thousands of years!

This kid, this kid...

Tsunade's eyes twitched as she looked at the slightly nonchalant little boy in front of her. She had to admit that this child, who was not even 1.2 meters tall, had the terrifying ability to endanger Konoha and even the entire ninja world's economy!

"Where are you from and where are you from?"

Facing Tsunade's cautious question, Wang Quan scratched his head and said, "A place called Saru God Elementary School."

"Monkey God Elementary School?"

Tsunade recited this extremely unfamiliar name, and then solemnly questioned again: "Why did you set up such a trap in Konoha? What is your purpose in doing this to Konoha? What has happened to Konoha?!"

Wang Quan grabbed Lihua, who was about to run away, and said, "I didn't intend to resort to such low-brow tactics that would lower my own standards. But these elementary school students thought buying milk tea was boring and questioned what else I could do besides buying milk tea, so I gave them the whole job—and that's what happened."

Tsunade looked at Wang Quan with embarrassment. Her woman's intuition and her experience in the ninja world could tell that what the elementary school student said was probably true, but she still hoped that the ridiculous thing that "a group of children's unwillingness to admit defeat will harm Konoha's economy" was false.

"But there's really no need to play tricks like this right now..."

Wang Quan tugged at Tsunade's sleeve and looked up at the village chief who was lost in thought. "Village chief, regarding the position you want to give me, 180 taels is really too little. Can you increase it a little? It doesn't need to be much. Anyway, we will leave here after earning enough money for the journey."

Tsunade, with a confused mind, nodded silently. There were too many people here and it was not a place to talk. Besides, she also needed to better understand the little boy in front of her and Sarugami Elementary School, as well as their real purpose, and be prepared to take effective precautions.

The most important thing to do is to give this little boy a raise! A big raise, it's very important!

Tsunade secretly made up her mind that when she returned, even if it meant embezzling public funds, she would satisfy this child who would start making trouble when he was looked down upon.

That scam that could easily destroy Konoha's economy was, in his eyes, just a charade that would lower his own status. Normally, he wouldn't even bother using it. So, that meant that within his tiny head, hidden within this 'high-level scam' that wouldn't diminish his status, just how terrifying was that?!

Seeing Tsunade's worried look, Wang Quan raised his eyebrows. It was not that he couldn't understand what Tsunade's "saw a ghost" look meant. If it were in the past, he would definitely comfort the village chief. He would not stay here and would immediately fire after the express was delivered.

But now it’s different…

After being enlightened by Teacher Xiao Meng, he has learned to mix work and hobbies. Now, even if the business opportunity in front of him is feminine hygiene products with a low return rate, he will still devote 120% of his enthusiasm to it.

Since it's a hobby, there's no need to worry about the profits. So even in Konoha, which doesn't seem to be wealthy, there are good business opportunities worth his attention... right?

Looking at Wang Quan, who was deep in thought, and the four elementary school students following behind him, they looked at each other. After a while, Li Xiaolang asked quietly, "Everyone—did anyone of you bring mushrooms specifically for 'just in case'?"

Elementary School Students and Business Empires: Chapter 198: The Actions of the Seniors

In response to Li Xiaolang's question, Illya blinked and subconsciously looked at the girl next to her. She remembered very clearly that Lihua always carried mushrooms with her.

"I was wondering why you kept carrying mushrooms with you even though you knew Wang Quan's fatal weakness was mushrooms."

Miyu said with a strange look on her face, "You two are so close that you can sleep in the same room."

Hearing this, Lihua gritted her teeth and said, "But that guy took up such a big bed all by himself, and left me sleeping on the floor! Of course, that's not why I carry mushrooms with me. I carry mushrooms to prevent him from destroying our country."

"nation?"

Li Xiaolang looked at Lihua in confusion: "Student Wang Quan actually does this kind of thing?"

"Ok!"

Lihua nodded vigorously and said, "I've seen many wealthy people visiting my house every now and then, and they're all different. And Wang Quan seems to have borrowed a lot of money from every rich person. I don't know why, but even though Wang Quan is the one who owes the money, it's those pitiful-looking creditors who almost kneel down to him. They keep telling him that his leverage is too high and that if it collapses, it will bring down the entire country as well."

"Well……"
