1. Thank you for your tips and monthly passes, of course, monthly passes or something, it would be better if there were more =.=

2. This chapter carries a lot of private goods, and I am not a student of economics, so there must be mistakes and naivety in these personal opinions.

"Anyone? We went in? Yang Hai said hello outside the tent.

Nothing happened inside.

Yang Hai's patience has always been bad, his perception is super high, and he can hear the sound inside the tent, so he grabbed the curtain of the tent and opened it directly, and a green flame suddenly jumped out and licked it towards his face, although the flame was fast, but it was not as fast as Yang Hai's reaction, he waved the sleeve of the cloak, and directly dispersed the green flame.

"COOL, WHAT'S THIS TRICK?" Kakulucia looked amazed.

"No tricks." Yang Hai rolled his eyes: "I just ate the damage of a magic trap." ”

Kakulucia choked on speechlessness.

Yang Hai walked into the tent, and Kakuluchia followed closely, and inside the tent, a man in a green mage robe and a strange black peaked top hat was cooking something inside the crucible. He turned his head, and Yang Hai saw a particularly long face, which seemed to be reflected in the Ha Lu Ha mirror.

Yang Hai couldn't help but think, I wonder if this guy in Lu Dao increased his appearance when he entered the game, and if he adjusted it by 20%, he would still look like this......

It's not good to judge people by their appearance, so Yang Hai hurriedly stopped his belly slander.

"When you ask if there is anyone inside, if the owner doesn't answer, it means that they are not welcome." The long-faced man said in a weird way. "Did I make that clear?"

"Captain Garcia asked us to come here to get a tent." Yang Hai said with a straight face, thinking that this guy is really annoying. Did Captain Garcia just say that this man's name is Giroud?

"A goddamn tent." Giroud roared, his voice very sharp, "You almost disturbed my alchemy test!" ”

"Well acted, add an egg to the box lunch." Yang Hai clasped his hands to his chest and slapped his face expressionlessly: "But depending on your technique of operating the crucible, there is a maximum of level 6 alchemy." Just past the threshold of the high-level, I didn't even touch the soles of the master's feet, and I dared to say that my test was worth a thousand gold, so I was really not shy. ”

Kakuluchia burst out laughing, someone pretended to be B in front of the first alchemist in the mainland, it was really a sense of déjà vu for Li Kui to see Li Kui.

Taunts are taunts, but Yang Hai can also see that this guy whose ID is Giroud has some real skills, looking at the messy marks on the test bench, at this moment he should be trying to rewrite the recipe of the secondary invisibility potion. As an alchemist with no rank, Yang Hai actually doesn't attach much importance to such things as rank. As far as he knew, the level of level 7 or even level 8 alchemists raised by many grand guilds was just like that, high-level craftsmen, and this Giroud had the idea of doing his own experiments to change the formula, at least much better than those mediocre people.

However, it is obviously not enough to bluff Yang Hai at such a level, not only is it not enough, but Giroud at this time was obviously bluffed by Yang Hai in turn: "You ...... You...... Are you also an alchemist? ”

"I'm not, I'm a layman." In the face of the player's PVP occasion, Yang Hai can lie unscrupulously. This Evans didn't care: "What about our tents?" ”

Giroud cautiously glanced at Yang Hai's badge, there was nothing on it except a piece of silver brilliance, Giroud didn't recognize what kind of badge this was, but he knew that the guy in front of him was definitely not from the Alchemist's Guild. Because the Alchemists' Guild's Clover Pendant is permanently fixed on the coat of arms. They can be worn on top of each other, but they cannot be removed, hidden, or covered.

However, even if the other party is not an alchemist, being able to tell his rank at a glance is obviously a well-informed guy who often comes into contact with alchemists. Maybe he's a high-level logistical leader in a big guild, or maybe he's a tailor, appraiser, or other high-end lifestyle professional players. Giroud said nothing more. Hurriedly threw the tent, map, and other things to the two uninvited guests who broke into the tent, and then began to drive people out.

They didn't bother to set up their tents, and the caravan was about to depart. It will also be removed quickly when it is installed. When they came out of Giroud's tent, another goblin was standing on a high place and pointing fingers, the same goblin NPC that the two of them saw when they came in, talking to the boss of the Chamber of Commerce, Arahan.

"The goods had to be stacked neatly - that rope wasn't tied tightly enough, so I re-tied it! Oh! Damn, it's not the rope over there! ”

"Recount the number of people! Are you sure the convoy is full of 32 people? Boss, you'd better check again, if the number of people is not enough, the policy is invalid! ”

"Man, the axle screws are loose, and if the goods are turned over, this trip will be in vain! Graveyard moss is a delicate thing, show me it all carefully! ”

……

Captain Garcia was sweating profusely from one side of the camp to the other side, and ran back, Yang Hai grabbed Garcia, pointed at the screaming goblin, and said, "Who is that guy?" ”

Garcia glanced at Yang Hai and said very unhappily: "It's an observer of a venture capital company." Damn green-skinned dwarf! Command us to do this and that. Every time they run a mission, they have a lot to do! With that, he ran to get the leather rope - just now the observer of the venture capital asked the caravan to tie another layer of leather rope to the outside of the cargo.

Garcia is a dragon, burly, and the average height of the goblins is only half a head shorter than that of humans, much stronger than dwarves and halflings, but in terms of Garcia's captain's stature, this green-skinned dwarf still has a very definite name.

"What do observers do?" Kakuluchia asked curiously.

"The caravan is insured by a venture capital company, and the venture capital company will accept it after it has verified that the caravan is sufficiently qualified." Yang Hai said: "But you also know that there are too many risks on this road of the Broken Sun Trail, being robbed by ogres and trolls, and the venture capital company will compensate for this kind of thing; If it is for other reasons, such as the goods are damaged during transportation, or deteriorated due to poor storage, or are washed away by a herd of angry rhinos, these loss venture capital companies will not pay compensation. As for how to determine the cause of the accident...... Yang Hai pointed to the goblin NPC jumping up and down, and said, "The observer is in charge of this work. They are sent by venture capital firms to help caravans avoid unnecessary risks, while monitoring the cause of accidents when they occur, so that the venture capital companies can make decisions on whether to make claims. ”

Kakuluchia was amazed: "This ...... Isn't a venture capital company just an insurance company......"

"Venture capital firm ......" Yang Hai shook his head, because he had to do a legendary mission. Yang Hai checked the information on the strength of those goblins. Venture capital companies are one of the few goblins with a tough style, and Yang Hai's reputation among venture capital companies is reverence, which also makes him pay special attention to this big chamber of commerce. "The reputation of venture capital on the mainland is not very good, insurance is just one of their businesses, venture capital is a big NPC financial chamber of commerce, as long as they make money, they do any business, and they are known as vampires in the goblin business world. But then again, you're supposed to be more professional than me in these things, right? ”

The big boss accepted it happily and laughed.

"Financial forces are vampires. It makes no difference. Kakuluchia commented.

"Why do you say that?" Yang Hai asked unprofessionally, he had studied guild management before, and there was only a simple concept of business in reality.

"The profits of financial groups are based on virtual will, that is, they are all empty gloves white wolves, understand?" Cakuluchia explained, speaking of this, Cakuluchia seemed to be a different person, the smiling big boss who always followed Yang Hai was gone, and the Kakuluchia demeanor at this moment vaguely revealed the overlord temperament of who else was me. "Financial groups don't have specific profit projects, what makes money, they rush to whatever industry, except for the game industry, which is extremely exclusive. Other industries are inevitably looted. “

"How?" Yang Hai still didn't understand.

"When they invest in coffee, they don't care that large-scale cultivation changes the taste of time-honored coffee; When they invest in energy, they don't care what kind of disaster the sudden rise and fall in the price of energy ore will bring to the world. All they have to do is hoard a lot of money and prepare in advance. Mess up the market of an industry, and then take advantage of the chaos to rob with preparation. Kakuluchia explained in great detail.

"In ancient times, there were big businessmen who hoarded grain for profit, and those people actually had the rudiments of a financial group. They don't care that the nutritional value of those grains becomes extremely low and the taste becomes extremely poor after two or three years of storage, nor do they care that hoarding strange goods may cause the displacement of countless people, nor do they care about the value of those grains, and they don't care about the function of these things to stabilize society, all they have to do is to raise the price of grain, gather up, make a lot of money, and then withdraw from the grain market before the social order completely collapses. But these are all flashes of time, those grains are not worth so much money at all, but under the control of financial groups, the people have begun to believe in the value of these grains, which is called virtual will, it is not real. Kakulucia's eyes deepened.

He continued: "So the profitability of the financial industry is based entirely on this unreality, and if people don't believe in the value of the food, then they will lose all their money." From ancient times to the present, those who do securities and speculate in real estate, their actions reflect the typical nature of financial groups, they do not care about the value of the securities themselves, nor do they care about the quality of the house, they only care about how much they can sell by buying low and selling high. It is precisely because of this indifference that they are allowed to do whatever they want. Take the real estate industry as an example, the financial group desperately develops real estate, and then raises the property to a price far beyond its own value through various financial means, in the financial market, real estate from the beginning of construction, in the case of no one to live in the situation has changed hands several times, the price is rising, everyone takes over with the false confidence that housing prices will continue to rise, and I take over at the moment with the virtual will to make a profit. Kakuluchia smiled coldly: "The people who really need to buy real estate can't afford such high prices, and all the people who have the money to buy real estate are players and manipulators in the financial industry, and of course, speculators." HOWEVER, POSEIDON, YOU MUST KNOW THAT THE VIRTUAL WILL IS ACTUALLY ROOTLESS, AND IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS, THOSE REAL ESTATE ARE WORTH SO MUCH MONEY, AND THE PARTS THAT EXCEED IT ARE FABRICATED AND BUILT ON FRAGILE FAITH. And this world realm is, in the final analysis, a real world realm. ”

Kakuluchia's smile grew colder: "In the real world, what is false is false, and he will never become real; The confidence fabricated by the warm atmosphere and high-sounding lies will eventually be broken one day, the lies will eventually be exposed, the sweet dreams will still be woken up by cold water, and people will finally realize what the real value of the commodity is. These layers of real estate are like beating a drum to pass flowers, and at the moment when the lie is exposed, whoever falls will lose all their money. To put it bluntly, it's not a big deal, every economic bubble is so bursting, it's just that those mortals are immersed in the dream of wealth, blinded by illusions, and blind to the real cruelty. ”

Kakuluchia licked her lips: "Well, mortal...... It's your idiomatic term, it looks like I'm infected. ”

Yang Hai rolled his eyes.

"There's a classic quote from an ancient philosopher that could not have described these vampires more appropriately." "If capital has 50 percent profit, it will take risks; If there is 100% profit, it dares to trample on all the laws of the world; If there is a 300% profit, it dares to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged. The damage caused by the bursting of the economic bubble is not only the loss of the money of the people who spend it, you must know that this society is a closed-circuit cycle that is interrelated and limited by each other, and the abnormal overheating of an industry will drive the rapid economic expansion of the whole society, the market of real estate will go up, the market of building materials will go up, the market of ore smelting will go up, the market of plastic manufacturing will go up, the market of energy refining will go up, the market of intermediary companies will go up, and there will be at least six related industries in an industry. Each related industry will also have its own at least six related industries, which eventually leads to the prosperity of the whole society being built on false confidence and evolving into a bizarre social phenomenon. On the one hand, the economy inevitably stagnates and even regresses in contrast to the illusions that have been touted – which, of course, is a real level of reaction – and on the other hand, severe inflation inevitably occurs, and confidence remains feverish until the lie is exposed. This in-and-out-of-the-moment is equivalent to doubling the damage to the society's economy.

"Is it true that financial groups don't know what the consequences of their actions will be? NO, POSEIDON, THEY KNOW IT, THEY KNOW IT BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE. They are just a bunch of vampires, who know the consequences are serious, but they still can't control their thirst for blood. ”

Yang Hai was a little shocked when he heard this, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Looks like you have a big opinion of those vampires." Yang Hai said with a smile.

"No, quite the opposite." "There are countless financial groups in this world, and if they are all vampires, POSEIDON, I am the most greedy and powerful vampire, a vampire king," said Kakuluchia. Usually, vampires need 300% of the profits to dare to trample on all the laws of the world, and 10% is enough for me. ”

Yang Hai's mouth opened wide.

It suddenly occurred to him that Kakuluchia was the sole owner of the Persian Energy Group, the largest energy company in the world. As for energy companies, even if Yang Hai doesn't know much about modern business, he knows that from the day a company like Lu Dao was built, what flowed in his cells was the blood of sin.

"Let's talk about Arahan, about your sworn enemy or something." Yang Hai decided to stop the topic, no matter what Kakulucia did, he was still his friend.

Kakuluchia could read Yang Hai's attitude, smiled with relief, and then sighed: "Alahan...... This guy is another long, long story. ”

"Let's make a long story short." (To be continued......)
