Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 1280 - 52: Honest People Don’t Do Immoral Things

Once war is officially declared between two countries, the real trouble isn’t the war itself, but the enemy and ally relationships in the international diplomatic arena.

On the surface, everyone has signed all those numerous messy treaties and agreements, and once war is declared, the clauses in these agreements will take effect. At that time, deciding which side you stand on and whether you’re willing to acknowledge past debts are all matters to consider.

So it goes for nations, and the same applies to the Jianghu World.

Just like when the six major sects besieged the Bright Summit back then, you claim to be a reputable sect, so now that our Ming Sect wants to rise against the Yuan dynasty, what does your siege on us mean?

The Sanhe Society and the four major halls are currently in such a delicate relationship.

As long as you don’t step over the line and don’t affect the overall situation, no matter how you play the game, at higher levels it will turn into "just kids being silly."

During this mutual struggle, those who first become cannon fodder sacrificed are inevitably those who can’t see the situation clearly, are blinded by interests, do not understand how to gauge limits, and evoke jealousy—the "birds who stick their heads out."

Such individuals are bound to exist, overly confident, always feeling that they are the smartest in the world, greedy when others are fearful, and even greedier when others are greedy.

They believe in Darwinism, prioritizing speed, striving first for wealth and fame, recklessly standing out without considering risks.

Everyone says bean juice doesn’t taste good, yet I insist on trying it, and then even develop bean juice-flavored drinks, corner the blue ocean market, and turn around to mock the world for not understanding post-modern non-mainstream art.

Four Seas Commerce Guild itself is a collection of Overseas Chinese, internally divided with various factions. Among them, there are certainly such extraordinary individuals who don’t consider the general trend and don’t care about the Temporal Tide.

Anyway, if the sky falls, tall people will support it; it’s not our concern. If I don’t earn this money, someone else will, so why let others have the cheap profits?

You can’t say he’s breaking the rules; he’s merely stepping slightly beyond the generally accepted bottom line and, seeing no reaction from others, takes another step forward. When others see him unpunished, they inevitably follow suit.

After all, the law doesn’t blame the collective.

In the face of an avalanche, every snowflake feels innocent.

Therefore, after hearing Shen Qingxi recount the cause and effect, Wang Yunxiao no longer focused his gaze on Poison Dragon Hall.

Such matters can be dealt with at any time. To resolve the pressing situation of the Four Seas Commerce Guild, the most fundamental strategy is to target their cash flow.

The saying goes, "strike a snake at its seven inches."

Their audacious capital stems, on one hand, from Pacific Bank’s limitlessly issued start-up loans, and on the other hand, from the upper level’s tacit approval of Pacific Bank’s excessive lending.

It’s all loans, so why them and not me, just because my business tactics are slightly blunt? Does the bank have nothing better to do than meddle in such matters?

The simplest way to deal with these ruthless and unscrupulous merchants is to focus on opening source and controlling flow.

"First, prevent the bank’s money from being recovered. Second, stop the bank’s money from being dispensed."

Seated in Shen Qingxi’s oversized office, Wang Yunxiao lowered his voice and revealed his plan to Yan Yu’an.

This time, he aimed for precision work, so he didn’t involve many people.

Aside from his group of brothers, he only brought Yan Yu’an along.

Yan Yu’an, working at customs, was also a victim of the era’s trends.

Due to changes in policies above, customs had to open one eye and close the other to Four Seas Commerce Guild’s import-export cargo. Ships that once required supervision now only need to present passage permits and customs can only let them through.

Cannot investigate, but when problems arise, they will still face accountability, caught helplessly at both ends.

"Bank money must be released to stimulate the economy. You touching this crosses the line, it’s definitely not feasible."

Initially, Yan Yu’an had little hope for Wang Yunxiao’s plan.

He knew full well Wang Yunxiao’s capabilities.

He’s great in a fight, but tackling such high-end projects isn’t a slight on Wang Yunxiao—it’s simply beyond his reach.

Despite his old friend’s skepticism, Wang Yunxiao didn’t rush to refute, laughing instead: "I know it’s crossing the line, but the problem isn’t us crossing it. If it’s their own business accounts causing issues and the funding chain breaks, what does it have to do with us? If the bank faces trouble and can’t lend money, again, what does it have to do with us?"

Hmm...

Yan Yu’an pondered for a moment and nodded: "Interesting, continue."

"Four Seas Commerce Guild’s New Universe and Tianhua companies are currently merging local cotton yarn industries, resorting to violent methods and beheading shareholders from three local factories. However, killing is one thing; they still need to follow proper acquisition procedures for business. Acquiring factories requires capital, and capital won’t be drawn from their own accounts. They either loan or have the bank issue promissory notes."

No need to explain loans; as for promissory notes, it’s a financial agreement between parties and the bank.

Company A acquires Company B for ten million, with the bank issuing a promissory note, promising to transfer ten million from Company A’s account to Company B’s shareholders’ accounts within a specified period.

Leaving aside the loan interest, the two parties completed a ten million transaction, money still untouched in the bank, allowing Company B to use the promissory note to invest in a ten million project. Meanwhile, the bank can use the ten million asset to create a financing fund to sell to investors. Investors purchase the ten million dollar fund and then use it as collateral to borrow another ten million from the bank...
