The Fourth Financial Crisis

Haiya City is a seaport city in the southeast of Zhongzhou.

Similar to all developed towns in the Kyushu cultivation world, the development of Haiya City cannot be separated from the help brought by its superior geographical location.

The existence of natural deep-water ports and the development of shipping routes have brought about the rise of trade, allowing products from Zhongzhou Continent to be sold to the other eight continents through the Haiya City port, across the sea and across the ocean.

Although the cultivators in the Jiuzhou cultivation world have the power to penetrate the heavens and the earth, even cultivators cannot waste their spiritual energy in vain to do such mundane business matters as trade circulation. The traditional trade routes of Haiya City have been transformed over a long period of time. Development has become an indispensable external logistics channel for Zhongzhou. But in winter, even the bustling Haiya City inevitably becomes deserted.

Although this port city has a relatively mild climate and a natural ice-free harbor, the entire city is still covered with thick snow during the coldest season of the year. Even the traditional oriental buildings with cornices and brackets in the city are The edges and corners were temporarily obscured by the wind and snow. Except for a few teahouses, restaurants, and places of lively entertainment, there are very few pedestrians on the streets of Haiya City.

But in the stormy sky, a thin young man was trudging on the snowy road.

His name is Yang Lu, and he is a time traveler.

Unlike the vast majority of time-travelers whose lives are hopeless, Yang Lu has no intention of crossing over at all.

He was born into a poor family and relied on his excellent academic performance to get into Shuimu University. After graduating from Shuimu University, he began to intern in the monetary policy research department of the central bank, taking meeting minutes for the big names in charge of the country's financial lifeline.

It is precisely with this valuable internship experience that he has a strong sense of presence in front of these top financial circles.

Through the recommendation letter issued by the central bank boss, he quickly got an offer from the famous private equity fund "Low Collar Capital". With the help of this rare opportunity for financial practitioners, he achieved success in one step.

After working at Low Collar Capital for two years, for better development opportunities, he directly jumped to Qianyi Capital, another private equity fund focusing on the secondary market, and became a real fund manager.

With his excellent professional knowledge, Yang Lu quickly became an Internet celebrity in private equity funds, and his asset management scale soared like a rocket.

Just when Yang Lu was about to flex his muscles, reach the pinnacle of his life, and marry Bai Fumei, an accident happened!

During an ordinary outing in the wild, he suddenly encountered an absurdly large super thunderstorm. Amidst the thunder and rain, he fainted inexplicably. When he woke up again, he found that he had To another world!

Only later did he learn that this world was called the Jiuzhou Cultivation World, and it was a world of immortals and warriors belonging to cultivators!

Legend has it that cultivators have the ability to ascend to heaven and earth. Some cultivators with superb magical powers can even live for thousands of years.

Not only that, in the past 500 years, three immortals who ascended to heaven appeared in the world of Kyushu cultivation, reaching the legendary supreme state of living as long as heaven and earth.

When he first heard the news, Yang Lu was extremely excited. After all, no matter how successful a person on earth is, he will only be a billionaire at best. How can he be compared with a cultivator who lives as long as the sky?

But soon, the cruel reality poured cold water on him.

Unlike the time-travelers in online novels, Yang Lu didn't get any golden fingers when he time-traveled back. It seemed that he just lost his own self who lived in a parallel universe of cultivation.

A memory belonging to "Haiya City Yang Lu" appeared in his mind out of thin air. This "Haiya City Yang Lu" looked almost exactly the same as "Earth Yang Lu", except that he was slightly younger, as if he was at the same time. I spent two lives in two worlds.

If the memory of the earth were not too clear, he would even think that life on the earth was just a dream for him.

Compared with the life of "Earth Yanglu" which drives low and walks high, the life of "Haiya City Yanglu" definitely drives high and walks low.

"Haiya City Yang Lu" was born in a wealthy family in Haiya City. Both his parents were employees of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce. When he was 12 years old, his parents were attacked by monsters during an overseas voyage. After losing his parents, "Haiya City Yang Lu" relied on his parents' relationship during his lifetime to find a job in a tavern in Haiya City. work.

But not long ago, "Haiya City Yang Lu" was fired by the tavern owner for "meddling in other people's business" because he rescued an unlucky man who had offended a cultivator out of sympathy, and completely lost his finances. source.

Such a jobless vagabond is extremely lucky not to starve to death!

Speaking of which, Yang Lu really wanted to thank this world of cultivation.

In addition to daily practice, cultivators in this world of cultivation also have an important activity - cultivating merit!

By doing good deeds such as giving away meals, cultivators can obtain heavenly merits and accelerate their own cultivation progress. Therefore, it is rare for people to starve to death in the world of cultivation. "Haiya City Yang Road" found a shelter run by a cultivator, which prevented the tragedy of freezing to death on the road.

But cultivators open shelters just to gain merit for themselves, not to let homeless people enjoy life. Therefore, one can imagine the level of food provided by cultivators to homeless people!

Of course "Haiya City Yang Lu" wanted to change his destiny, so he also tried to go out to find a job again.

However, during a trip in the snow, "Haiya City Yang Lu" fainted due to cold and hunger. When he woke up again, "Earth Yang Lu" took away the skinny Haiya City youth.

Unlike "Haiya City Yang Lu" who could endure a life of hunger and cold, Yang Lu, who was born on earth, could not endure this kind of life for a minute in a homeless shelter eating pig food.

After realizing his unfavorable situation, Earth Yang Lu quickly calmed down and began to sort out the memories of "Haiya City Yang Lu".

By sorting out the memories of the original owner of the body, Yang Lu finally found a chance to change his destiny.

This time he went out in the snow and wind just for this very reason!

After trekking in the snow for more than half an hour, Yang Lu's body was a little overwhelmed. After all, he didn't even eat the low-quality expired food from the shelter before going out this time, and his physical condition was very unsatisfactory.

Fortunately, he was not far from his destination.

After walking around a street again, a brightly lit building appeared in front of him.

Unlike most of the houses in Haiya City, which are closed and look extremely depressed, this oriental loft-style building is already overcrowded. There are a large number of wooden tables and chairs in the spacious hall, and each wooden table and chair is It was crowded with customers, and there was even a constant-temperature array built inside the building, which isolated the inside and outside of the house into two completely different worlds of warmth and cold.

This building is the tavern where "Haiya City Yang Road" once worked, and it is also the private property of the Pan family, the richest man in Zhongzhou.

This Pan family is not an ordinary businessman family. It is said that 500 years ago, the old shopkeeper of the Pan family received personal advice from Lu Yang, the first president of the [Lingshi Reserve Bank], and they own numerous hugely profitable monopoly industries.

This shop called the Tavern is said to have originated from the whimsical idea of ​​Governor Lu Yang.

Precisely because of his relationship with the legendary cultivator, the social custom of spending leisure time in taverns has become popular among the cultivators, from the great monks in the Nascent Soul stage to the common mortals.

After looking inside the tavern, he found that the person he was waiting for had not yet arrived. Yang Lu stamped his feet to dispel part of the chill, then found a corner with a leeward side and huddled up.
