The Fourth Financial Crisis

Although Liu Hanxing didn't want to argue with the Haiya Department, the Haiya Department actually didn't want to entangle with Liu Hanxing for a long time.

Although Liu Hanxing seemed to have been fooled by the Haiya Department during this period, and was even embarrassed to the front page of the "Cultivation Financial Weekly", the price paid by the Haiya Department was also extremely huge.

After all, no matter how powerful the Haiya Sect is, they are still living in the territory of the Wuliang Sword Sect. They cannot really do anything to Liu Hanxing and his subordinates. They can only mobilize resources from all parties as much as possible to carry out non-violent non-cooperation. A large-scale siege and suppression, and the cost of this large-scale siege and suppression is far beyond what ordinary vassal sects can bear.

Just by hiring Ting Heyuge killers to kill people and burying the truth, as well as buying off outsiders such as Gu Jianming, the Great Elder of the Light Sword Sect, and Xi Jinhu, Editor-in-Chief of Xiu Zhen Financial Weekly, the direct capital cost consumed by the Haiya Sect has exceeded 10 million. Yuanling stone coins, this does not include the emergency closure of the city when monsters attacked the city, and the recent continuous unrest in Haiya City, which caused indirect losses to normal local commercial activities.

If all the direct losses and indirect losses were added up, the total cost of the Haiya Department's pursuit and interception of Liu Hanxing during this period would have already exceeded 20 million yuan in spiritual stone coins.

Even if the Haiya Department was entrusted by the Wuliang Sword Sect to organize a fleet to launch an outlying island war, its direct military expenditure was only more than 6 million yuan in spirit stone coins, but now the cost of chasing and intercepting Liu Hanxing is enough to support three outlying island wars. , even the annual financial income of the Eagles next door may not reach this amount!

And this is because all the other vassal sects are secretly cooperating with the Haiya Sect's blockade operation, without letting the Haiya Sect spend extra money on public relations. If the implicit support provided by other vassal sects is included, the account is already astronomical. Numbers.

On the surface, Liu Hanxing lost to the Haiya Department, but in reality, he lost to the huge amount of spirit stone coins that the Haiya Department threw out.

Therefore, Governor Liu actually did not lose unfairly!

But no matter how wealthy the Haiya Sect is, it is impossible to maintain such a high amount of capital expenditure for a long time. Because the amount of this deficit is so large, the senior leaders of the Haiya Sect have even been forced to reduce the salaries and benefits of all Haiya Sect disciples this year. It was cut down by 20%.

And this 20% salary reduction is already the result of the best efforts of the three giants of the Haiya system.

You must know that whether Jiang Huaan hired Song Feifan, Su Yuanfeng hired Gu Jianming, or Han Xinhe moved to Jinhu, they did not go through the Haiya Department's big account. Instead, these three people paid for it themselves, and most of the remaining capital expenditures , Su Yuanfeng also solved it through the channels of Haiya Bank. Otherwise, the financial gap of Haiya Department this year will be even larger, and there may even be big problems internally.

If it weren't for the fact that compared to other traditional sects, the incentive and restraint mechanism of the Haiya Sect is more advanced and more similar to the limited liability company of the earth, the interests of several major families (shareholders) of the Haiya Sect are bound to the Haiya Sect than other cultivation sects. The senior management is stronger, but if it were replaced by other traditional sects, Liu Hanxing might have started fighting internally because of the issue of sharing this huge cost before Liu Hanxing took action.

But the Haiya System only temporarily suppressed its internal conflicts.

As the total expenditure of the Haiya Sect becomes larger and larger in the future, I am afraid that this money cannot be easily digested by each of the major factions of the Haiya Sect with their own efforts. Internal conflicts surrounding this money will inevitably arise. There will be more and more.

Therefore, the three giants of the Haiya system also reached a consensus:

The Haiya system must not spend endless time with Liu Hanxing!

Han Xinhe chose to directly suppress Liu Hanxing's reputation through Xiuzhen Financial Weekly. This was because the Haiya Department was deliberately escalating the conflict between the two parties and forcing Liu Hanxing to show off his cards as soon as possible.

If Liu Hanxing chooses to admit defeat and stop the loss, then the Haiya system will undoubtedly achieve an epic victory. However, if Liu Hanxing refuses to admit defeat, the two sides can also reveal their trump cards as soon as possible for a final contest to avoid falling into a bottomless war of attrition.

Faced with the pressure from the Haiya Sect, Liu Hanxing had no choice.

It is impossible for the proud and arrogant Liu Hanxing to admit defeat. After all, the last trump card in Liu Hanxing's hand is his master, Lin Jianxing. He must admit defeat before revealing this trump card, let alone accept it on his own. No, not even Lin Jianxing would allow it.

Although Liu Hanxing knew that he had lost a big point by seeking Lin Jianxing's help, even if he could use Lin Jianxing's power to deal with the Haiya system, it would only be a miserable victory at best, and at least a bad guy who "can't do anything without Lin Jianxing" There is no escaping fame.

But now Liu Hanxing has been forced into a corner, and he really can't think of any other quick way to cut through the mess.

If Liu Hanxing is teased by the Haiya Department a few more times, it will not be as simple as losing face, but will completely become the laughing stock of the Zhongzhou cultivation world.

In desperation, he had no choice but to return to the headquarters of the Wuliang Sword Sect, saying that he was unable to defeat four hands with two fists, and asked the headquarters of the Wuliang Sword Sect to send people for support. In order to gain strong enough support, he even took the initiative to interrupt Lin Jianxing's retreat practice.

Lin Jianxing originally thought that by the time he was released, the pilot work of Zhongzhou's social security system reform would be almost complete. Unexpectedly, Liu Hanxing had been busy for more than half a year, and the Haiya City Shantang was even completed. No house was seen.

This is simply unreasonable!

After listening to Liu Hanxing's report, Lin Jianxing became furious on the spot and scolded his eldest disciple. Liu Hanxing had no choice but to imitate Ma Kezhang, bow his head and admit his mistake, and let Lin Jianxing scold him for a while first.

Lin Jianxing was angry, but the problem still had to be solved.

In order to completely resolve the crisis in Haiya City, Lin Jianxing finally agreed to Liu Hanxing's request and once again transferred a direct lineage of more than ten people from the headquarters of the Wuliang Sword Sect to serve as supervisors and security guards for the Shantang of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce.

Most of these monks are the outer sect deacons of the Wuliang Sword Sect in the foundation-building period. Together with Liu Hanxing, a golden elixir period monk, and the two inner sect deacons Yang Chenglong and Ma Kezhang, the Wuliang Sword Sect can be said to have invested heavily in the Haiya area. , without affecting the normal operation of the Wuliang Sword Sect, almost all the mobility power of the Wuliang Sword Sect during the foundation building period was exhausted.

Of course, it’s not that the Wuliang Sword Sect can’t send other Jindan stage masters to reinforce it, but almost all of the Jindan stage masters have important positions. It’s okay to temporarily go to Haiya City to help, but if you want to stay in Haiya City permanently , simply impossible.

If Lin Jianxing intends to completely destroy the Haiya system, things will be simple. Even if he dispatches twenty or thirty Jindan masters to attack at the same time, it will be no problem. Even he himself can lead the attack, but if he lets several Jindan masters attack at the same time, it will be easy. The monk works as a contractor in 24-hour shifts, but it is difficult for Lin Jianxing to do it.

After all, the saboteurs of Haiya City usually hide in the dark, and no one knows when they will take action. It only takes a few seconds for Gu Jianming, the Great Elder of the Hanguang Sword Sect, to summon the meteorite. However, in order to prevent this person from summoning the meteorite, the Infinite Sword Sect A monk of the same level needs to be guarded 24 hours a day, and the price paid by both sides is completely disproportionate.

Fortunately, through the previous confrontations, Liu Hanxing had already seen that although the Haiya Department used endless underhanded tricks, they did not dare to openly show off their faces, even Zhu Ziming and the others did not dare to do anything.

In this case, sending enough foundation-building period outer sect disciples would be enough for the Haiya Sect to throw a rat weapon.

Ma Kezhang can do it badly by himself, how can so many people do it together?
