The Fourth Financial Crisis

After listening to Team Leader Qin’s introduction, Shen Xiaotao felt suddenly enlightened about many things that he had not understood before:

He was still very surprised. Is there no good captain in the Haiya system? But now it seems that President Su never intended to choose a good person to be the captain. He only wanted obedient people. The kind of good people who dare to speak out for justice have long been thrown into the sea to feed the monsters!

As the saying goes, understanding of world affairs is knowledge, and understanding of human feelings is writing.

Team Leader Qin, an old sailor with a low level of education, has reached a philosophical level with his deep insights into certain issues based on his half-life experience as a sailor. No wonder Manager He often advises himself that the most taboo things in the management of the Chamber of Commerce are The only thing is to do things behind closed doors!

Seeing that Shen Xiaotao was stunned by his explanation, Team Leader Qin said with a smile: "Does this scare you? In fact, this is not the most outrageous thing about our Yuxiang!"

Shen Xiaotao came back to his senses and said with a surprised expression: "Can't this be considered the most outrageous thing?"

"Last time I was responsible for cleaning the captain's quarters, I discovered a big secret!" After arousing Shen Xiaotao's interest, Team Leader Qin tapped the captain's quarters not far away with his chin, and said with a smile: "Our captain My Lord, in fact, I have never read the "Integrity Education Manual for Captains and Stewards of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce" written by Chairman Su. That brand-new "Integrity Education Manual" is so grandly placed on the bookshelf, and it is not even wrapped on the surface. None of the moisture-proof packaging has been opened.”

Shen Xiaotao had never read the book written by Su Yuanfeng, but he could write such an emotional review. Shen Xiaotao felt a sincere respect for the captain of the Yuxiang who had not said a few words.

However, what Shen Xiaotao and Team Leader Qin didn't know was that the "Integrity Education Manual" was not actually written by Su Yuanfeng himself, but was randomly copied by a few mortal paper gunmen. After all, the master cultivator is very pressed for time. How can he have time to write such a superficial article himself?

After finally recovering from the shock, Shen Xiaotao finally remembered his original question, and once again brought the topic back on track: "Team leader Qin, what about the captain of our Yuxiang? What specific method is used to make money?"

The old team leader also had a good impression of this humble and inquisitive young man. Seeing no one around, he simply started chatting: "The captain's skill is much greater than that of us little shrimps. What this guy is best at, It’s the so-called solicitation of private goods!”

Shen Xiaotao showed a very cooperative expression of interest: "What is soliciting private goods?"

Team leader Qin smiled mysteriously and said: "Our ship Yuxiang is actually very flexible in terms of how much cargo it can carry. Some irregularly shaped cargoes occupy a large area but are not heavy in weight. Some private parts can be stuffed in the gaps in the middle." It’s so easy to transport goods, which gives the captain an opportunity to engage in smuggling business. In fact, our captains are quite restrained. It is said that some captains who run outlying island routes, after only two or three trips, become the richest man in Haiya City, and even directly collect money. Fleeed to an island.”

"Compared with other smuggling routes, what is special about this outlying island route? Why is it so profitable?"

Team leader Qin pointed to the ballista next to the two of them and said: "The arms trade on the outlying islands is a real huge profit! In order to prevent the military balance of the outlying islands from being destroyed, the Haiya Chamber of Commerce strictly limits the export of arms to the outlying islands. It is precisely because With quantity control, the profit from smuggling prohibited ordnance is simply unimaginable. It can even be said to be the business with the highest profit margin in Kyushu cultivation world. Anyway, it is definitely much higher than our captain smuggling ore! Guess why all the captains of the Yufeng have A happy ending? This is no coincidence!"

Team leader Qin also spoke up. He pointed at the crew members working on the deck and introduced them one by one: "Don't talk about the captain of the Yufeng, just talk about the first mate, second mate, third mate, etc. on our Yuxiang." Navigators, flag bearers, and how and how much money should be made for each position. These are all established examples! If a young man makes too much noise and even goes to the captain to complain, Then don’t blame the wind and waves on the sea for accidentally taking you into the sea!"

Shen Xiaotao is not a fool, and of course he understands what Team Leader Qin means: The most terrifying thing in the Eastern Ocean is not the wind and waves at all, but the unpredictable human heart!

Before going to sea this time, Chief Manager He Mingyuan specially told him to achieve "three more and one less"——

Listen more, see more, think more and meddle less!

It now appears that the corruption at the grassroots level of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce may have been anticipated by Manager He.

Shen Xiaotao doesn't think he is a business genius.

Although he intended to find out the shady story of the Yuxiang, he could see something fishy in just a few days, which was enough to explain the problem. But he didn’t know how many clever and unjust ghosts there were behind the monster fur coat of the captain of the Yuxiang!

Team leader Qin also felt that Shen Xiaotao was a talented person, so he continued to teach: "You volunteers are all from poor families, so why are we old sailors not the same? In the eyes of the great cultivator, we mortals are just walking Merit, they don’t regard us as human beings at all. Let’s gather some of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce’s wool, which can be regarded as doing justice to God!”

After saying that, he smiled and patted Shen Xiaotao's pocket containing the spirit stone coins to show encouragement to the young man.

Shen Xiaotao said yes on the surface, but he disagreed in his heart:

That’s because you haven’t met a conscientious boss!

Miss Li Qingning, Manager He, and Consultant Yang have very good consciences!

Although he disagreed in his heart, Shen Xiaotao still followed the other person's words and said: "Team Leader Qin, you are very lucky to have found a way to make a fortune as a seaman. I have been selling newspapers in Haiya City for three or four years. I get up early every day and work late every day to make money." A few cents of spiritual stone coins, if I had known that it was so easy to make a fortune as a sailor, I would have gone to sea and followed you a few years ago!"

Team leader Qin waved his hands with a smile and said: "You volunteers are also very lucky! Fighting on outlying islands for the Haiya Chamber of Commerce is a rare and rare job. I heard that each of you volunteers can get 60 yuan. The reward is spirit stone coins, and half of it is given in cash at the signing site, as well as a few hundred spirit stone coins as a death benefit. This reward is almost as good as that of ordinary cultivators!"

When Shen Xiaotao heard this, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of bitterness: "Team leader, what we earn is money from working hard!"

However, Team Leader Qin snorted coldly and said: "I am born in the midst of blessings but I don't know how blessed I am! Do you know how many people want to work hard but don't have a chance?"

Team leader Qin's words made Shen Xiaotao unable to refute.

It is precisely because the vast majority of people want to work hard but have no chance that the Haiya Volunteer Army has so enthusiastically signed up this time. If he hadn't built up a good physique by selling newspapers on the streets, he might not have been accepted by the Haiya Chamber of Commerce. Choose!

In the Jiuzhou cultivation world, the qualifications to work hard depend on robbing!

Seeing Shen Xiaotao's silence, Team Leader Qin sighed deeply and said, "Besides, aren't we seafarers in a life-saving business? When sailing on the four oceans of Kyushu, plague, disease, and acclimatization are all very common problems. . Not to mention that most fleets do not have an immortal master at all. Even if there are immortal masters, ordinary crew members do not have money to hire an immortal master for treatment, so they can only resist with their bodies. In order to avoid getting sick, we can only drink more. , but wine is grain spirit, and even the poorest quality wine is not cheap at all for sailors!"

As he spoke, Team Leader Qin picked up a wine bottle from his waist and took a deep sip into his mouth.
