The Fourth Financial Crisis

The corner where Yang Lu is located is just on the edge of the coverage area of ​​the bar's constant-temperature fairy array, but because of the pillars blocking it, it can be avoided to a large extent from the sight of the bar staff, and the staff will not be blasted out.

It is precisely because the original owner of the body once worked here that he was able to find such a good place.

Smelling the faint aroma of alcohol and food wafting from the bar, Yang Lu's nose couldn't help but twitch.

It's a pity that he didn't even have a penny of spiritual stone coins in his pocket, so he could only stare at the room full of delicious food and wine, and then pray that this reckless action would have the desired result.

While Yang Lu was waiting for the target person to appear, he was also secretly paying attention to the chatter among the bar patrons.

As a fund manager, Yang Lu's biggest characteristic is that he is good at analyzing intelligence. It is by relying on these casual gossips that Yang Lu can piece together the tip of the iceberg of this mysterious world of cultivation.

It's a pity that there are no legendary cultivators among the drinkers in the Haiya City bar. They are just ordinary people with some spare money. Yang Lu listened for a long time and only heard some gossipy news about family members. These things are not physical Most of the original owners also know that it is completely invalid information.

Just as Yang Lu was hiding in the corner of the porch and watching with cold eyes, a short figure suddenly ran out from another alley opposite the bar. Since the streets of Haiya City were unusually deserted, it was very easy for him to notice this sudden appearance of the uninvited guest. Yang Lu looked closely and found that this was a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

This is a girl who looks younger than Yang Lu. She is extremely thin and looks to be only a little over 1.5 meters tall. Her appearance is quite sweet, and she has long black waist-length hair.

It's a pity that on her thin shoulders, she has a huge shabby faded cloth backpack slung across her body. In addition, the clothes on her body are also quite old. She is dressed like a postwoman in the 1980s, which makes her very attractive. Lian Ling's appearance turned out to be a lot rustic and shabby out of thin air.

The girl stepped hard through the snow and ran towards the bar. As she ran, she shouted in a clear voice: "The "Xiu Zhen Financial Weekly" has just been printed! Pan's Trading Company released the latest issue of "Xiu Zhen Financial Weekly" ! With only 5 cents of spiritual stone coins, you can learn about the major events in the world of Kyushu!"

The appearance of this newspaper-selling girl made Yang Lu's eyes light up.

No matter where in the world, the news media is always the best way to obtain intelligence.

Before the guests in the bar noticed the girl selling the newspaper, he waved to the girl selling the newspaper and said, "Girl selling the newspaper, what major events will be published in this issue of "Xu Zhen Financial Weekly"?"

Seeing that someone was interested in the newspaper, the girl selling the newspaper was overjoyed.

But when she saw Yang Lu huddled in the corner of the tavern to keep warm, a look of suspicion suddenly appeared on her face.

The newspapers and periodicals in the cultivation world are not distributed to ordinary people like the newspapers on Earth. Instead, there are some professional journals such as "Caixin", which are provided exclusively to the middle class, rich, and cultivators in the Kyushu cultivation world. .

"Cultivation Financial Weekly" The retail price of a 5-cent spiritual stone coin is definitely not a small amount.

In a monetary system that uses scarce physical assets as credit endorsement, the purchasing power of money is extremely strong. Although Lingshi coins, the mainstream currency in the Kyushu cultivation world, are credit currencies, part of their credit still comes from Lingshi.

When the Coca-Cola Company was founded in 1886, the retail price of a single can of Coca-Cola was only 5 cents, which was already considered an out-and-out luxury product at the time. In Jules Verne's famous science fiction novel "Around the World in 80 Days," , the protagonist, as the top richest man in Britain (basically equivalent to the world) in the 19th century, had a total net worth of only 40,000 pounds.

In the Kyushu cultivation world, most mortals can only use cent tickets or cent tickets for transactions.

The current official price of spirit stone coins and standard spirit stones is 10,000:1. Even if the black market exchange price is nearly 14,000:1, not everyone in Haiya City can easily afford the heavy expense of a newspaper.

The newspaper seller chose this tavern to sell newspapers because this tavern gathered a large number of middle-class customers from Sea Cliff City, and most of the drinkers had sufficient potential purchasing power.

And the poor-looking young man in front of him did not look like the kind of person who could afford to buy a newspaper.

Although the girl had doubts written on her face, fortunately, "Haiya City Yang Lu" once had a serious job, and the clothes looked decent, which made the girl selling newspapers a little bit less contemptuous. Heart. If not, she would have ignored Yang Lu as air!

After hesitating for a moment, she still moved towards Yang Lu's position: "Sir... sir, do you want to buy a copy of the latest version of "Xu Zhen Financial Weekly" that was just printed? This was just printed half an hour ago. !”

Yang Lu did not answer the question directly, but pointed to her large package and said, "It depends on whether there is any noteworthy news in this issue of the newspaper!"

Seeing Yang Lu secretly peeking at her newspaper bag, the newsgirl immediately covered the package tightly: "Don't peek! If there is any big news, wouldn't you know if you buy a newspaper?"

Yang Lu didn't look embarrassed at all, he just laughed and said: "If there is no interesting news, then why should I buy newspapers? No one's money comes from strong winds! Even if you don't say it, like "Xu Zhen" I can easily find out the headlines of Financial Weekly in this pub!”

The newspaper seller obviously didn't know about Yang Lu's glorious deeds of being kicked out of the tavern, and she suddenly hesitated.

Seeing that the other party was shaken, Yang Lu struck while the iron was hot: "It's not what I said... If you want to sell more newspapers, you won't be able to hold on to it like you do! You must first release some breaking news to whet everyone's appetite. . If you don’t disclose any substantive content, how can others become interested in your newspaper? If you don’t believe it, you can try my method.”

The girl felt that what Yang Lu said made sense, so she answered honestly: "Okay, let me talk about it a little bit! Big things have happened to the Wuliang Sword Sect recently! Pan, the publisher of "Cultivation Financial Weekly" The trading bank has always had a close relationship with the Wuliang Sword Sect, and even has top-secret intelligence sources within the Wuliang Sword Sect. According to information provided by a monk from the Wuliang Sword Sect who did not want to be named, Li Qingyang, the third president of the Lingshi Reserve Bank, I’m afraid our time is running out!”

The girl's voice was not loud, but the drinkers near the bar door could still hear her clearly. This blockbuster news can be said to have stirred up waves, instantly attracting the attention of all the drinkers.

"What did you say? President Li Qingyang's time is running out?"

"How could this be? President Li Qingyang is the greatest cultivation economist in Kyushu. If the Lingshi Reserve Bank does not have such a leader in charge, the credit of Lingshi Coin in the future will be worrying!"

"Has the Wuliang Sword Sect revealed the candidate for the next president?"

"Is it the end of the golden generation of cultivation economists who conquered the world together with President Lu?"

…

The newspaper-selling girl's fluttering words directly triggered a big discussion in the entire tavern.

Even though Yang Lu came to the world of cultivation not long ago, he knew that this was a big deal. Because of the famous name of President Li Qingyang, he has already become famous these days!

If there was a celebrity ranking list in the Kyushu cultivation world, President Li, who was in charge of the Lingshi Reserve Bank, would at least be ranked in the top ten.

As we all know, the main currency in circulation in the world of cultivation today is Lingshi Coin. It is a paper credit currency issued with the equity of Lingshi mines as collateral. It is also the core of the fourth generation currency system in the world of Kyushu. It is composed of Lingshi from the Wuliang Sword Sect. The Reserve Bank is responsible for issuance.

Thousands of years ago, there were seven sects standing in the world of Kyushu cultivation, and they were called the "Seven Major Sects of Kyushu".

However, as the Wuliang Sword Sect, the overlord of Zhongzhou, established the Lingshi Reserve Bank and took control of the financial lifeline of the entire cultivation world, the Wuliang Sword Sect gradually stood out from the seven major sects in Kyushu and became the world's most recognized sect in the cultivation world.

When talking about the birth of the Lingshi Reserve Bank, we have to mention the three most important [Lingshi Financial Crisis] in the history of the cultivation world.
