Chapter 409 Calling County Magistrate Lin
When Lin Wen woke up again, it was already the next morning.
After a round of meditation and sleep, my spirit recovered to 25%, which gave me a little bit of confidence.
When he walked out of Qin Luoshuang's bedroom, he happened to meet Xia Xiaoxiang who was looking for her girlfriend.
When the girl pushed the door open, she didn't see her good sisters, good girlfriends, good husband, good wife, good parents, or good children, but saw Lin Wen walking out.
Her expression instantly became more severe than Ochumelov's. Lin Wen learned from her incoherent words that Cao Damang's army was surrounded and suppressed in Lianshan Town by Changshan County and the resistance army. More than 40,000 people were killed or wounded, and 150,000 were captured. The joint army composed of regular troops and mercenaries was completely wiped out, and the commander Cao Damang was captured.
The entire territories of Chuanluo County and Panwa County were occupied. Yun Qingshui, leading his brothers from the Kuomintang and the Forbidden Spell Master Group, rushed towards Chuanluo County with great momentum, vowing to bring all the evil gentry and bullies who had escaped from the occupied area to justice.
The main force of Changshan County successfully joined forces with the resistance army, and both sides stationed together in Lianshan Town to discuss the next steps.
Zhang Shuangcheng, acting governor of Shizhou, launched a mutiny, drove out the commander of the Qin Group, led his troops to attack Song Ziyuan and others in Hailin City, and imprisoned all opponents.
As for her, the people who came to seek refuge with her had gone crazy, but most of them were minor officials in Shizhou who had grudges against Zhang Shuangcheng.
The quality of these people varies greatly, and they all come here just to retain the positions of camp converters in Changshan County.
She came here to ask Qin how to deal with these people.
"Oh, just like before, you just swindle them out of their money and throw it into the council."
Lin Wen answered casually and walked out.
Xia Xiaoxiang turned around and rushed into the bedroom. She walked around inside but couldn't find any trace of Qin. She sniffed the sheets and quilt but didn't find anything unusual. She rummaged through the trash can for a long time but didn't find any toilet paper.
He ran out in a hurry and stopped Lin Wen who was about to go out.
"Uh..." She didn't know what to say.
Lin Wen suddenly remembered something and asked, "How much money did you cheat?"
"More than a billion..."
"Very good, I'll hand it all over to the government. I'll ask Old Xie to come and collect it later."
Xia Xiaoxiang instantly forgot what she wanted to ask and angrily said, "Hey, aren't you going too far? I worked so hard to scam this money. Even if I didn't do anything, I still worked hard, right? You're not even going to give me any hard work fee?"
"Oh." Lin Wen groped in his pocket, found a ten-yuan coin, and stuffed it into her hand: "No need for change."
Xia Xiaoxiang couldn't believe her eyes.
She picked up the ten-dollar bill and looked at it again and again against the light, trying to find some hidden number behind the zero.
But unfortunately, this is just a ten-dollar bill, and there are still traces of dirt, sweat, blood and some unknown dirt on it.
Xia Xiaoxiang's chest was about to explode with anger.
I have earned more than 1 billion, and you only give me 10 yuan in dividends. It would be better not to give it to me.
This stinginess is a million times worse than my dad's.
But Lin Wen didn't think he was evil.
Because of his outstanding work, his subordinates were rewarded with ten times their salary, which is a very good treatment.
He found Qin Luoshuang, who was dealing with a mountain of affairs in the staff department.
Well, you do a good job, so I'll reward you with ten times the salary.
Countless golden lights flashed before my eyes.
Lin Wen was very happy.
After so much trouble, good fortune finally came again.
Moreover, there will be even greater good fortune soon.
Ha ha.
My path to becoming an immortal is just around the corner.
——
The news that Changshan County had completely wiped out Cao Damang's army and won another great victory quickly spread throughout the upper echelons of the empire.
In the elders' compound, the chief elder took a minute to understand what had happened.
"Why is it that there are always people who rebel at critical moments?" a great elder asked casually.
The Imperial Guardsman replied, "It's the First Princess."
Several great elders frowned slightly.
"Maybe Princess Pie is a little stronger than we thought."
"The uncertainty surrounding this chess piece is too great, and her influence is truly difficult to estimate. Put pressure on Li Longxing to marry her off quickly."
"cost?"
"The princess's wedding will be held to the highest standards. Regarding the military campaign, we will take a step back and allow him to promote the generals."
The Imperial Guardian continued, "The Qin Group, Beichen Group, Yong'an Group, Quanye Group... have successively sent battlefield information, claiming that Changshan County has hidden incomprehensibly powerful weapons..."
But the elders did not care. The empire's chief military expert, Hai Damer, had obtained the battlefield video earlier. He quickly analyzed that this metal giant was a mere facade.
"The principle is actually very simple. It's a core that can generate a large amount of magnetic force, which attracts and aggregates these metal ores. Its magnetic energy is so strong that it can ionize the air and trigger thunderstorms."
"Although I don't know how some of the details were achieved, it can only be used to scare people. With so much energy, it only creates a target. I might as well use it to charge my grandma's electric toothbrush."
These are Heidamer's original words.
The report was sent to the Supreme Council as soon as possible.
The judgment in the report was almost identical to Qin Luoshuang's. He didn't care much about the metal monster and highly praised the strategy of using it.
"That's it. Don't report anything about Changshan County anymore."
A great elder interrupted the imperial garrison commander.
"First, submit matters concerning the empire's grain prices."
——
Li Zairong, a close confidant of Elder Luo Nuo and vice president of Beichen Group, openly stepped into Changshan County with his team.
Even though he knew that Changshan County won, it could not change his confident look.
Because capital is the real king, the blood of life, and the ultimate explanation of power.
Capital brings power, power brings capital. The two are like twins, two sides of the same coin, and neither is indispensable.
And Li Zairong is the man who masters the rules of capital operation.
He got out of the luxury car and, surrounded by a group of people, walked into the exchange, which he considered to be very simple.
As he stepped into the empty hall in his expensive white crocodile leather boots, he revealed a hint of a sneer.
Li Zairong sat down at a trading seat and took out a Turing pocket watch worth three hundred thousand yuan from his pocket.
The cover of the exquisite pocket watch is engraved with his motto in artistic calligraphy:
When money speaks, truth must be silent.
"There are still thirty minutes until the market opens."
His subordinates surrounded him, and some reporters were taking pictures all around and taking notes quickly with a shorthand pen.
But when they wanted to leave the area, they were politely stopped by agents and told that Changshan County only opened the Nadao Grain Exchange to outsiders for interviews.
Access to other areas remains prohibited.
A reporter snorted in dissatisfaction, but given Changshan County's bad reputation, he didn't dare say more.
I only added one sentence in shorthand.
"We were strictly guarded, with our hands and feet shackled. Each reporter was guarded by ten burly men. They pointed their guns at my back mercilessly and didn't allow me to look around, as if they were hiding some unspeakable secret..."
Changshan County Government Office.
Planning Bureau.
Red Nose said, "Brother, our propaganda has no effect. Apart from the hostile organizations, no one has come."
The freckled girl was also a little anxious: "Junior brother, what should we do?"
Xiao Xiao did not expect things to turn out like this. This is already something beyond the economic field.
For all economists, futures contracts that last only one day lose their value for repeated resale, and as they are actual goods delivered, they no longer have the attributes of futures speculation.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a market crash.
But what it actually destroyed was people's confidence in the grain market and their distrust and suspicion of the new exchange.
Where people's hearts are, that's where capital gathers, and that's where the rise and fall of futures prices are focused.
People who trade stocks should understand this best, and institutions should understand it even better. Otherwise, how can they reap the profits?
However, if the news cannot be released, how can we gain public support?
Xiao Xiao found it hard to understand: "Didn't I spend a huge amount of money on advertising? I even asked people from the Long-term Cooperation Department to promote me. Why is this happening?"
A guy who was still fanning himself in the winter said in a deep voice, "They covered our ads. They drowned out our ads with a large amount of similar news. Now it seems that their work is very effective."
"They also brought out Changshan County's past deeds and made a big fuss about it, saying we killed investors and wealthy people, and demonized us. The few retail investors who knew about it didn't dare come."
Red Nose asked anxiously: "Brother, should we still sell it?"
Xiao Xiao said in a deep voice: "Sell."
"But wouldn't that mean our food is being snatched away by these institutions? Wouldn't that mean they're making money for free?"
Xiao Xiao shook his head: "Transactions have a history to follow. If we break our promise on the first day, where will our credibility come from?"
Nine o'clock in the morning.
Nadao Grain Exchange officially opened.
Apart from the staff, the only witnesses were the organization and reporters with bad intentions.
The electronic trading screen's meter displayed the only commodity on the exchange: grain.
Its price is the real-time price of Empire, 6123 yuan/ton.
The exchange itself does not sell grain, it is just a platform, and it is Changshan County that sells the grain.
Soon, Changshan County's first batch of grain futures listed for sale appeared on the large display screen in the exchange hall.
Changshan County sells physical grain futures contracts with a contract term of one day, a quantity of ten tons, and a price of twenty thousand imperial yuan. The delivery method is Changshan County grain depot, which can be stored in custody or shipped out by oneself.
There is only this lonely line on the display.
No one else trades here, even though its fees are as low as one millionth.
Li Zairong gave a cold smile and ordered, "Buy them all."
An attendant immediately gave a buy order to the exchange staff.
The staff immediately completed the instructions and purchased the futures contracts sold by Changshan County through the other party's account.
Another line appeared on the large display screen in the exchange hall: Beichen Group, buy, 5,000 shares.
Changshan County sells 100,000 tickets every day. Xiao Xiao divides it into 20 parts and distributes them evenly in each time period.
Since it is a physical futures contract, it is very different from the non-physical futures trading method. Customers can directly request a paper contract, which is a grain deed, from the exchange with the trading voucher in their account.
After the futures contract expires, you can go to the Changshan County granary to collect the grain with the deed.
If it cannot be collected, it will be automatically transferred to managed inventory and storage fees will be calculated.
Li Zairong's subordinates took back the 5,000 deeds, took photos of them and immediately sent them back.
Half an hour later.
Inside the huge Mingguang Exchange, a physical grain delivery contract from Changshan County suddenly appeared in front of the large screen where people were crowded.
Price: 200,000.
A group of speculators carefully calculated the price: "Two hundred thousand? An average of twenty thousand per ton? The market price is only over six thousand. Who would be so foolish as to buy this?"
But soon, the deed was bought by an unknown buyer.
"well?"
“Is this hype?”
"Is there such a fool?"
This strange feeling immediately attracted everyone.
Soon, countless contracts appeared on the screen, and the big screen could not keep up. They could only rush to the terminal screen to see, and they were shocked to find that each contract was purchased by a different customer.
In futures trading, physical delivery only accounts for a small part, but this small part plays an important role in maintaining prices.
"No?"
“This is physical delivery.”
“It’s delivered in one day?”
"Has the wind changed?"
“Should I chase the rise?”
"No, this is too strange, how could it increase so much..."
But soon, a large number of news related to grain appeared in major financial newspapers and information platforms:
Shizhou was destroyed by war, grain warehouses were destroyed, the empire was short of grain, and so on, which brought a series of good news about grain prices.
At first, not many people believed it, but as a large number of deeds continued to be sold, these news that were difficult to distinguish between true and false appeared repeatedly, and people's confidence gradually wavered.
By the close of the first day.
Imperial grain price: 6155 yuan/ton.
It rose by 32 yuan compared to the opening price, which surprised many bearish economic experts, futures gurus, and financial gods.
On the top floor of the Mingguang Exchange, the cheers of institutions could not be blocked even by the soundproof walls.
These beasts at the top of the food chain looked down at the group of sheep walking out of the exchange, who were delighted with a small profit, and grinned with their bloody mouths like carnivores.
Nadao Exchange.
It was deserted at closing time. After Li Zairong left with his team and reporters, there were no outsiders here.
Xiao Xiao and his team looked at the real-time grain prices in the empire, shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.
Soon, Brother Dongshan, who was responsible for collecting information, found the reason.
"They took our deeds and sold them on their exchange!"
Brother Dongshan shouted and threw away the fan that he never let go of.
"Ten times the price!"
"Fuck him!"
Even Xiao Xiao was momentarily infected by the rage.
He finally calmed down and started browsing information about food on the Internet. Sure enough, he found a lot of information that was difficult to distinguish between true and false.
As an emerging industry, the Internet has increasingly demonstrated its power in financial transactions.
However, due to security issues, online payment has not yet appeared, and futures prices can only be browsed on the Internet. Actual operations require personal presence or calling to entrust a trader to carry out.
However, the power of online information has begun to show its strength, and many advertisers have begun to advertise on the Internet, and Changshan County is no exception.
But Xiao Xiao didn't find any information about the Nadao Grain Exchange in Changshan County until he rolled his eyes.
"Breaking news! The Changshan County Nadao Grain Exchange opened today. It's an exchange that combines the advantages of safety, speed, and convenience..."
Xiao Xiao didn't want to read the rest of the words.
This kind of junk advertisement makes people have no desire to click on it.
The freckled girl cried, "Junior brother, what should I do?"
Xiao Xiao was silent for a long, long time.
"Call County Magistrate Lin."
