Chapter 395: Fat Fox, CEO of the Chamber of Commerce
Chapter 395: Fat Fox, CEO of the Chamber of Commerce
In name, the Jinling Immortal Sect and the Chamber of Commerce do not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, so Wen Rui doesn't care about the lives of people in countries and regions other than the Lishan territory.
Even for the demon tribes in the Ten Thousand Mountains and the demon tribes in the earth, Wen Rui chose to support puppet demon kings and demon kings and grant them full autonomy.
On the surface, the Chamber of Commerce appears to be a group of profit-seeking businessmen, but in fact, although the profits are high, they are essentially engaged in poverty alleviation projects.
As for these poor guys in the Western Zhou Dynasty, they couldn't even squeeze out any profit from the land.
Unlike the Western religions that seek both wealth and faith, the only thing Wen Rui wants to earn from sentient beings is their faith in the Jie Religion.
In recent years, the Chamber of Commerce has invested in and built many schools in various vassal states to teach Jiejiao knowledge, and also provided meal subsidies to students.
Logically speaking, after students graduate, if the local lords have some knowledge and employ these talents, local governance will definitely not be too bad.
However, influenced by the limitations of the times, talents would not be valued by rulers until the period of the Hundred Schools of Thought in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. But now, they are deeply feared and excluded because of their origins in chambers of commerce and schools.
Most students eventually returned to the chamber of commerce system and became employees of the chamber of commerce.
The officials of Qinzhou are still the old aristocrats. The local governance level and administrative efficiency are still quite low. In addition, it is located on the border and wars are frequent, so it is normal for the state of depression to appear.
The four of them walked on the street, passing by low and dim adobe houses, and saw human beings with pale faces, ragged clothes and dull eyes.
If the immortals had never visited the Liberty City, whose development was far ahead of its time, this scene might not have had any impact on them. In the immortals' stereotype, the world is like a furnace, all living beings suffer, and they should be grateful for God's mercy just to be alive.
The sage is unkind and treats the people as straw dogs, just as heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs.
In the teachings of Chanjiao and Renjiao, benevolence is not considered a virtue at all.
Only the teachings of Jiejiao, which is to fight for a glimmer of hope for all living things, have a touch of benevolence.
But it's just a close connection. Anyway, according to Wen Rui's thorough understanding of the teachings of Jiejiao, he will definitely give you a chance, but if you don't use it, you won't be given any chance to survive. He will just watch coldly even if you want to die.
"The governor of this county must be a corrupt official who has caused the people's livelihood to be so destitute!" Princess Longji frowned and said, "Or there must be a demon lurking nearby."
The little girl that Nezha transformed into also pouted and said, "That's right, it's even worse than Chentangguan after the tsunami disaster."
Taibai Jinxing smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, Third Prince, you don't know..."
Wen Rui slapped him hard on the head just as he was halfway through his words: "Why are you so unconscious? There is no discipline in the secret operation. You just changed the caliber and asked for a change of title. Do you have Alzheimer's disease and forget it as soon as you turn your head?"
Taibai Jinxing said aggrievedly, "Well, Sister Ji, Sister Li, you don't often walk in the mortal world, so you don't know that the situation of human towns in the mortal world is generally like this. Boss Wen's establishment of Free City is a rare exception. I'm afraid that there is no other Free City in the mortal world."
Wen Rui did not comment and led them to one of the only three brick and stone structures in the city.
In Qinzhou City, most houses are made of adobe, with a few two- or three-story wooden buildings dotted here and there. There are only three very grand and neat brick and stone structure building complexes.
The three places are the city lord’s mansion, Jinling Primary School Qinzhou branch and the Chamber of Commerce Qinzhou branch.
Including the City Lord's Mansion, these three building complexes were all built by the Chamber of Commerce. The primary school and the City Lord's Mansion were donated, and not a single copper coin was charged from local officials.
Whenever the Chamber of Commerce expanded its influence to a place, the first thing it did was to donate money to build a government office for free, in order to befriend local officials. The second thing it did was to build a primary school, recruit children of school age, and provide free meals all day.
After so many years, if you look down at any city in the mortal world today, you will find that the best buildings in the city are often these three.
Arriving at the gate of the Qinzhou Chamber of Commerce branch, the security guard in charge of guarding the gate immediately showed respect when he saw Wen Rui's face. Without saying a word, he let him in and greeted him loudly: "Hello, Mr. Wen!"
When they walked into the Chamber of Commerce building, the busy employees, upon seeing Wen Rui, were like believers seeing the arrival of their god. They suppressed their excitement and saluted him.
As soon as I walked into the hall, I heard a burst of dense footsteps coming from upstairs. A fat girl in an oversized black dress came up hurriedly with a smile on her face, leading a group of managers.
The fat girl has beautiful eyebrows and eyes, but her body is too thin. However, when she gets fatter, she looks very friendly and blessed.
"Brother, long time no see, I missed you so much!"
Although the fat girl was plump, she walked lightly and came to Wen Rui with a beautiful smile.
Wen Rui smiled knowingly, which was rare since he ascended to heaven. He stretched out his hand and pinched her chubby face and said, "You look good."
This fat girl is none other than the little fox Su Yingluo. The little fat fox back then has now turned into a big fat fox and her body has expanded several times in size.
Fox women generally pay great attention to their image, and their bodies are their most valuable asset in conquering men.
But Su Yingluo has long stopped pursuing the sexy route. She runs the Chamber of Commerce with her extraordinary talent and emotional intelligence, and is like the richest woman in the three realms.
Compared with financial control, Charming the King is too unskilled. She let herself go and completely gave up body management, enjoying delicious food to her heart's content. As a result, she became a fat girl.
"Brother, I have heard that you have been deified and ascended to heaven. Are there any business opportunities in heaven?"
After just a greeting, the fat fox talked about his business every other sentence, and did not avoid the three immortals following Wen Rui, and asked with great interest.
Wen Rui spread out his hands, shook his head helplessly and said, "There are many good things in the heaven, but the poor people in the mortal world and the earth can't afford them. Our products should be very popular with the unsophisticated gods in the heaven, but the heavenly rules are strict, and I'm afraid it would be illegal to sell them. It's a pity to waste the opportunity to make a fortune."
"Who are you calling a country bumpkin?"
Taibai Jinxing and Nezha didn't dare to provoke Wen Rui, but Princess Longji got angry and immediately lost her temper: "The Heavenly Palace is the richest in the three realms, and there are countless wonderful things. It's the rubbish in the mortal world that the gods don't care about!"
Wen Rui was too lazy to pay attention to her and ordered, "These are my colleagues up there. They are on a business trip with me. It's a rare opportunity for them to come down to earth. If I go back empty-handed after returning to my own store, I'll look stingy. Junior Sister Yingluo, find some electronic products and pack them into bags as souvenirs. Prepare three packs and let them take them back to broaden their horizons when they leave."
"We don't want the junk from the mortal world!" Princess Longji said disdainfully.
Nezha's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Do you have a game console?"
Su Yingluo smiled and said, "Of course there is, but it's the latest head-mounted holographic somatosensory game console, which has more than a hundred games built in, and there is also an online game online battle function that is being tested."
