The Fourth Financial Crisis

Hearing the name "Fang Jiancai" spoken by the eldest lady herself, Yang Lu's heart suddenly "thumped".

He asked at a very fast pace: "Miss, why did you suddenly come into contact with Fang Jiancai? This person is the deacon of the Merit Hall of the Wuliang Sword Sect. What does he have to do with our Qingning Chamber of Commerce?"

Li Qingning saw Yang Lu's expression changed drastically and said in confusion: "The Gongde Hall is the real power department of the Wuliang Sword Sect and is responsible for the performance evaluation of thousands of vassal sects in Zhongzhou. With the support of the Gongde Hall, our Qingning Chamber of Commerce can expand externally. It’s business!”

As a fund manager, Yang Lu is best at collecting and analyzing intelligence. After taking over the daily management of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, he immediately studied the main forces in Haiya City. Only then did he realize that as the top figure in Haiya City, Yang The road was no stranger to him.

According to the arrangement of Wuliang Sword Sect Merit Hall, Deacon Fang is usually responsible for the performance evaluation of the three vassal sects, Tianshu City Shanying Sect, Haiya City Haiya Sect, and Luanshi City Guyun Sect.

Unlike Duzhitang's trade representative office in Haiya City, Fang Jiancai's Gongdetang office was located in nearby Tianshu City.

Thinking of Tianshu City, Yang Lu suddenly had a premonition that something bad was going to happen: "Miss, when did you first get in touch with Deacon Fang of Merit Hall?"

"It was almost four months ago." Hearing this rambling question, Li Qingning showed a look of recollection, "Before you took over the work of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, the biggest source of profit for our Qingning Chamber of Commerce was Tianshu The trade channel of the city branch. We can become the only Haiya City Chamber of Commerce that openly does business in Tianshu City, and this Deacon Fang has put in a lot of effort!"

It’s true that whatever you’re afraid of will come to you!

Yang Lu ignored Housekeeper Zhou's surprised look and quickly dragged the confused Li Qingning into her office. If he hadn't known that Yang Lu had not officially entered the Immortal Sect, Butler Zhou would have thought that he was going to do something inappropriate to Miss Qingning!

After confirming that the doors and windows were tightly closed, Yang Lu moved a stool for himself and sat down. He persuaded Li Qingning behind the desk earnestly: "My eldest lady, I have just met a person like Cai Cai. How can you do whatever you want?" Did you see him?"

"I...I am also doing it for the Qingning Chamber of Commerce!" Li Qingning was obviously frightened by Yang Lu's serious tone, and he hesitated even when he spoke, "Fang Jiancai is a big shot in Haiya City. I met him , is there any problem?"

Yang Lu sighed deeply and asked: "Have you heard about the new generation of Zhongzhou Cultivation Social Security System Reform?"

Li Qingning said honestly: "Of course I know this. It is said that the Nascent Soul stage monks of the Wuliang Sword Sect have been quarreling about this matter every day. They have been quarreling for almost two years, and there is no result yet! "

Yang Lu asked again: "Who do you think will eventually take the lead in this project?"

This question was obviously beyond Li Qingning's understanding. She thought about it for a long time, and finally admitted reluctantly: "This is a headache for the big shots of the Infinite Sword Sect. How could I have guessed it!"

Yang Lu considered his words for a moment, and then slowly said: "Although I don't know the specific game situation of the top management of Wuliang Sword Sect, since this so-called new generation social security system of cultivation can be discussed openly, Wuliang Sword Sect will The senior management at least has two considerations in mind, so let me share my own opinion first..."

In the Jiuzhou cultivation world, there has been a long-standing discussion about the social security system of cultivation.

Because the merits of heaven can greatly help spiritual practice, cultivators in Kyushu have long been studying how to benefit the common people more efficiently.

For the Wuliang Sword Sect, if we can establish a social security system that spans the entire Zhongzhou, so that the people of Zhongzhou can have a house to live in, the weak to have help, the elderly to have support, and the sick to have medical treatment, it will undoubtedly be an act of immeasurable merit. .

But as the saying goes, it is easier said than done. Such a huge social security system will inevitably require an equally huge bureaucratic organization to operate, and the management level of the cultivation world is far from enough to support the expansion of an organization to such a scale.

Prior to this, Wuliang Jianpai Merit Hall had made several attempts to establish a social security system covering the entire continent.

There are no surprises. Serious management problems were quickly exposed after these large-scale and beautiful blueprints were actually implemented.

The layered organizational structure has brought about extremely inefficient management efficiency, endless leaks, common corpses and plain meals, and repeated bullying and concealment...

The Infinite Sword Sect is stretched thin with manpower and is unable to deal with these management chaos.

Although today's Wuliang Sword Merit Hall is still nominally responsible for the daily operations of the cultivation social security system, its grassroots organizational structure has long been unable to operate normally.

The social security work that Deacon Fang Jiancai of Gongdetang is usually responsible for is nothing more than giving some rice and noodles to the poor on a regular basis, but even for such a simple function, most of the funds allocated by the Wuliangjian Sect eventually fall into the private pockets of some people. .

Although the Wuliang Sword Sect has never publicly admitted it, anyone with a discerning eye can see that today's Zhongzhou Cultivation Social Security System has long existed in name only.

The reason why leaders of the chamber of commerce like Li Qingning were able to accumulate merit by opening homeless shelters was because the social security system for cultivation officially established by the Wuliang Sword Sect had been absent for a long time, giving private capital an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

However, the heavenly merits brought by social security are too huge. The Wuliang Sword Sect does not want all these heavenly merits to be intercepted by various chambers of commerce, but hopes to concentrate these merits into the Wuliang Sword Sect. However, practice has proven that the Infinite Sword Sect does not have the management capabilities to handle this matter, so this idea can only be reduced to empty talk for a long time.

Against this background, President Li Qingyang proposed a new generation of social security system characterized by "official supervision and commercial management".

The so-called "official supervision and commercial management" means that Wuliangjian Sect selects designated business partners in each region to completely outsource the social security functions. Wuliangjian Sect is only responsible for providing financial support, and the merits obtained are provided by Wuliangjian Sect. Party and partners are divided equally, and other chambers of commerce are not allowed to interfere in social security affairs, just like some kind of state monopoly capitalism with cultivation characteristics.

In Yang Lu's view, the Wuliang Sword Sect proposed this plan for a total of two main purposes.

First of all, if this plan can be finally implemented, the Wuliang Sword Sect is expected to obtain nearly half of the heavenly merits in the social security field of Zhongzhou, thereby greatly strengthening the overall strength of the Wuliang Sword Sect and further enhancing the Wuliang Sword Sect's control over the Zhongzhou Continent. Its significance is no less than Lingshi Reserve Bank was established 500 years ago by Governor Lu Yang, consolidating the monetary policy power of Kyushu into one body.

The vast majority of cultivators who do not know the truth, including Li Qingning himself, believe that this is the only purpose of the Wuliang Sword Sect to implement a new generation of cultivator social security system.

However, Yang Lu did not completely agree with this view.

Yang Lu is very familiar with the logic of organizational operations and knows that any form of reform will affect the interests of vested interests. Unless the situation has deteriorated to the point of "if you don't reform, you will die", or the reformer himself can gain huge personal benefits through reform, no one will take the initiative to promote reform!

Although the Wuliang Sword Sect can profit from the reform of the social security system of cultivation, the interests of the sect and the personal interests are never the same thing. Even the personal interests of the great monks of the Wuliang Sword Sect in the Nascent Soul stage are completely opposite to the interests of the sect of the Wuliang Sword Sect. .

In Yang Lu's view, the reason why the Wuliang Sword Sect was able to discuss this plan is very simple:

Because the powerful bosses of the Wuliang Sword Sect hope to take advantage of this opportunity of reforming the social security system to reshuffle the already solidified interest pattern in various parts of Zhongzhou.

Even if the geographical location is as remote as Haiya City, it is not immune!
