Noon: 3:25.
[Financial card blessing completed——]
[Temporary sealing completed! 】
[Your current [Basic Asset] is: 4 million US dollars]
[Because you have not carried out real-name authentication in the Financial Street, your [Economic Magic] behavior in a different space will be subject to quota restrictions! 】
【Finally, to every financial card holder, we would sincerely offer this passage - an inquiry about the natural process of wealth, and also about the natural process of human society or the internal economic process of a country. inquiry, it should be considered the field of study in which one has the greatest hope of gaining insights. 】
[Financial Street Developer Appendix: Wealth is originally a tool of life. Unfortunately, in today's world, wealth has taken over the place of the way of life and the content of life. As a result, wealth has become the content of life (if [Financial Street] cannot bring help to mankind, then I will be a sinner). 】
Xia Xiu turned the card with a [Beast] printed on it with great interest. This kind of anonymous [Financial Card] costs about 5 cryptocurrency coins (about 132493.50) on the dark web. AD).
"Mr. Abraham, the equity transaction has been completed, so I won't belaboring here." Ben Geer put away the equity transfer contract he had just signed, and then bowed respectfully to the blond young man who was turning the card in front of him.
“Thank you for the association’s help.” Xia Xiu replied to Ben Geer with a smile.
Ben Geer had an awkward smile on his face, and then he quickly left the luxurious room arranged by himself as if running away.
Looking at the fleeing Association Archon, Tours stopped rubbing the head of Jiamu’s dog. Jiamu had not been let out for a walk by Xia Xiu for a while. His actions these days It happened that there was no need to be too nervous or make any big moves, so Jiamu was released by Xia Xiu.
During this time, Tours has been helping him walk his dog.
"These guys are so scared by you," Tours said to Xia Xiu.
"Don't slander me. I didn't do anything or threaten them, so why did I threaten them?" Xia Xiu blinked his eyes innocently.
This guy is really thick-skinned. Turs muttered secretly in his heart.
"So what are we going to do next, can we find John Giovanni by getting this card?" Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Zhi Zhou broke the card in his hand to test the hardness, and at the same time issued his own question.
“Of course, Giovanni, the black-hearted ghost, is currently staying in the alien space projection of [Financial Street]. In fact, it is much more convenient to defeat him in [Financial Street] than outside. Next, our The plan is also very simple: clear out Giovanni’s [extraordinary assets] in [Financial Street], make him [bankrupt], then materialize these [extraordinary assets] and smash it to death.”
The blond young man smiled and clapped his hands at everyone.
"Isn't it very simple?"
As a blank slate, Broly, who has been a homebody for many years, nodded along with Xia Xiu's words. It is indeed very simple. , and Tours, who knew that there were many twists and turns in [Financial Street], looked at his two 'innocent' teammates and couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead, speechless.
[Trading Challenge], this is one of the unshakable iron orders within [Financial Street]: In [Financial Street], thaumaturgic entrepreneurs who hold [extraordinary assets] will never be allowed to hoard assets— —Assets must remain in circulation and assets must be traded.
A thaumaturge who possesses a large amount of [extraordinary assets] must keep the resources flowing. Therefore, when [Financial Street] was developed, one of the underlying rules was: asset holders must complete a small task once a week. Amount transactions (this small amount is divided according to the holder's corresponding [extraordinary assets], and there are no restrictions on transaction methods).
Transaction is the gain or loss of assets.
The so-called transaction is either the continuous accumulation of assets or the continuous reduction of assets.
Continuous upward flow will inevitably lead to monopoly and asset oligopolization, while upward flow may also lead to the formation of investment preferences and asset bubbles. And these huge thaumaturgy asset owners tend to invest their capital in high-yield areas and assets, which in turn leads to excessively high asset prices in these areas and the formation of asset bubbles, while other areas face a lack of investment and resource shortages. problem.
“It’s not easy for you to make Giovanni go bankrupt. I checked his extraordinary asset distribution in [Financial Street]. It’s very stable and he’s basically never been trapped. But if you launch an attack on him, [Hostile acquisition] is also unlikely. You have to know that our share is limited, and it is impossible to initiate a [hostile acquisition]." Tours shook his fox tail and began to think about countermeasures in his mind.
[Hostile acquisition], one of the internal trading methods of [Financial Street], refers to an organization or thaumatologist purchasing shares directly from the target's shareholders without the consent of the target personnel or target management. or other means to acquire control of the target force.
[Extraordinary securities] are personal items, and the holder is not its owner. Hostile acquirers can make high-price acquisitions from their owners (this kind of transaction competition is only allowed to occur among thaumaturges who publicly list their assets. At the same time, it must be [Financial Street] Only internal competition can be launched).
For example, a thaumaturge transformed his concept of using fire magic and EVE particles into ten shares of [Extraordinary Securities] through [Financial Street]. These ten shares were used by a [Financial Card] ] Holder purchases and puts it into [position].
When the holder of [Financial Card] is in the [Financial Street] different space (this operation is only allowed in the [Financial Street] different space), a target person is interested in the holder. For these ten shares of assets in the hands of the investor, he can launch a [hostile acquisition] and seize these ten shares of assets through malicious competition.
[Extraordinary assets] are divided into pros and cons. Good assets cast magical spells that are stronger and more stable, while bad assets sometimes behave like evil gods when they are released, hurting others and themselves. .
“Giovanni is on the rich list of [Island Française·Financial Street], with [extraordinary assets] of 2.24 billion US dollars.
This is the realm of [France Island]. Even if you are rich in this world, if you are not spiritually bound to [Financial Street] and have not become a true member of the financial genealogy, you will not be able to replace too many [extraordinary assets], and Our current cards are not temporary and have extremely high limits. Tours held up the card in his hand and said with a headache.
“So the specific operations here can only be carried out in the different space of [Financial Street]. Moreover, the essence of the transaction is not that the price is high. Those who get it are: increase what they want and give them what they need. "Xia Xiu showed a familiar smile to Tours, which was full of playfulness and interest.
Tours originally wanted to say something, but when he looked at the expression on the blond young man's face, He chose to shut his mouth about the smile and what the other party had done in recent days.
"Then, let's go directly to [France Island·Financial Street] to see Ai. The magnificent miracle created by the Desi Federation. "
Xia Xiu stood up, took out the [financial card], then he drew his finger into the void, and then whispered to himself:
"Consumption·Financial Phase Gate."
【-666 SV】
Puff——
A black portal emerged from the void, and on this door was a [ Beast], in the doomsday light carved inside the door, a new [Beast] rises from the ground. Its shape is blurry at first, but as it gradually appears, you can see that it has two horns. The two horns are slender and soft, like those of a newly born lamb, and they look harmless and innocent. The lamb's horns were as white as fresh snow, flawless, as if to prove its innocence.
However, everything changed when the beast began to speak. Its voice is deep and shocking, like the roar of an ancient dragon, full of terror and authority. This makes people wonder, how could the seemingly docile and innocent creature with the horns of a lamb make such a terrifying sound?
[Certification completed! 】
Xia Xiu squinted his eyes slightly and stared at the [Beast] on the door: He rose from the ground, had two horns like a sheep, and spoke like a dragon.
"Go through the same door as me, so that you won't be scattered when teleporting. Of course, the fees will still be deducted. There is also a fee for bringing a dog in." Xia Xiu turned to face the person behind him. Three people and one dog said. After saying that, Xia Xiu stepped into the door.
After Xia Xiu entered, others also picked up the temporary [financial cards] in their hands and whispered to themselves to spend money, while Tur, who was riding on Jiamu, Si made two consecutive purchases.
"Tsk, even the consumption of dogs is 666. It seems that [Financial Street] likes this number that is one digit less than the representative number of the Kingdom of Heaven." Turs muttered to himself after finishing the consumption. .
************
Hub, Fran Island·Financial Street.
When Xia Xiu opened his eyes again, he already appeared in a strange and bizarre world.
Tall buildings are interspersed on the skyline, and the iron-cast structures are intertwined with curves and patterns, showing a unique retro beauty. Huge steam exhaust pipes are embedded in the building, emitting a strange white steam that fills the air like a mysterious mist.
The exterior walls of the building are decorated with copper sculptures and iron decorations, which reflect the rays of the sun and sparkle with the luster of metal. The huge clock tower stands in the center of the city, its hands pointing in the direction of the future, indicating the passage of time. The top of the building is decorated with a complex airship docking platform, where airships of various shapes and sizes rise and fall, adding a romantic and fantasy atmosphere.
Steam-driven vehicles are driving on the streets, from classical horse-drawn carriages to fashionable steam cars, all kinds of vehicles shuttle through the spacious and busy streets. The streets are lined with colorful neon signs, flashing in various bright colors, reflecting people's smiling faces and longing eyes.
People wear fashionable steam windbreakers and carry steam-driven equipment, freely shuttle through every corner of the building, and feel the integration of technology and art.
And there is a big slogan in the distance.
【Let thaumaturgy and technology empower life together! 】
"It's really Edici's template for building a dream city." Xia Xiu reached out and pressed the top hat on his head to cover his eyes, and then said softly.
Many start-up companies within the Edici Federation like this magnificent and dreamy architectural style. However, one thing that has always been criticized about this dreamy architectural style is the huge light pollution and colorful light. This city has been covered with a dazzling coat.
"This is just another hub area...it's completely different from the [Smoke-free City]."
Broly's sighing voice came from behind, followed by a week. Finally, the last person to appear was naturally Turs riding a dog.
"[Farland Island] relies on the different space of [Financial Street], and its development is of course different." Tours said, and then he raised his head and looked around.
I don’t know if it’s because he is too sensitive, but he found that the density of foreign races in [Farland Island] is actually comparable to that in [Smoke-free City]. You must know that [Smoke-free City] itself is a gathering place for foreign races, and [French Island] is a gathering place for foreign races. Orchid Island], a [hub] that is an important port for foreign trade of various countries and also has a different space projection of [Financial Street], can actually gather so many foreign races.
"Gentlemen, do you want to take a ride?"
A cheerful voice came into the ears of the four people from the side. A young man with freckles on his face and pointed ears spoke slowly. Driving a classic carriage, it stopped in front of four people and one dog.
It is worth noting that the pointed-eared young man is a bit short in stature, and the two white horses he drives have a pair of small wings behind them.
“Gentlemen, the flying speed of my two Pegasus is very stable. I have a [flight pass], and my carriage is equipped with expansion magic and stabilization magic, which ensures that there will be no bumps at all when riding. "Reed Rory enthusiastically introduced himself to these four guests with unusual temperaments.
"You are from Harry, right?" Xia Xiu looked at Luo Li and then said in a positive tone.
"Oh, sir, you are really well-informed. Many people think of me as a dwarf. I have told them that I am a Harry, not a dwarf!" Rory recognized someone when he saw it. The smile on his face suddenly became more genuine due to his own race.
The Haris are not dwarfs. Although they are all the same short stature, the Haris have pointed ears, and their looks are basically at the passing level.
"Is the city toll fee for [Farland Island] still 66 dollars?" Xia Xiu asked the Harry in front of him.
"Yes, it's still 66 US dollars." Rory nodded and replied honestly.
Although he also wanted to make a deceptive meter like those black-hearted counting drivers to deceive the outsiders, but when he thought of the consequences of being reported, he gave up the idea. After all, he had a father who was in the last century. I bought this carriage frugally to rely on, so there was really no need to take such big risks to do those shady businesses.
"Are there Financial Times and Metropolis Newspapers in the car?" The blond young man asked another question.
As soon as Rory heard this, he knew that the order was stable. He immediately nodded quickly and replied:
"There are some, they are all the latest issues. Mr. is [Trader] ”
“No, we are just tourists passing through [Flan Island]”
The blond young man shook his head and smiled, and then he motioned to Rory to open the car.
Lori quickly opened the car, Xia Xiu held the armrest and walked into the car, while the others followed closely behind. After entering, they confirmed that Reed Rory was not lying. It was indeed quite spacious inside.
"Sir, where do you want to go?" Luo Li asked Xia Xiu in the carriage.
Xia Xiu did not reply immediately. He pulled out a copy of the "Financial Capital Times" from the shelf in the carriage. The title screen on it was clearly [France Island]. He looked at the headline.
"Hostile Takeover!" 》
[1690.6.15. Giovanni Energy Company launched a [hostile takeover] of Valais Thermoelectricity: The new big trader John Giovanni made a [hostile takeover offer] for Valais Thermoelectricity. The takeover attempt triggered resistance from Valais Thermo's management and shareholders, who believed that Giovanni Energia's offer undervalued Valais Thermo and that there were strategic and regulatory obstacles.
The next day, John Giovanni launched a personal [hostile takeover] on the street to rob a major shareholder of Valais Thermoelectricity [extraordinary assets]. This move can be understood as Giovanni's ultimatum to Valais Thermoelectricity. . In response to Giovanni's [hostile takeover], Valais Thermoelectric launched [poison pill measures] to restrict the actions of hostile acquirers by amending the transaction articles or agreements. 】
"Valais Thermoelectric Office Building."
After reading the contents of the newspaper, the blond young man raised his head and said to Rory.
“Yes, sir.”
