Imagine the world

Even during the strictest control period, some people still did not abide by the epidemic prevention regulations, declared that it was a conspiracy, a scam, went out without masks, and held various rallies and protests.

As long as someone does this, the efforts of most other people to comply with the epidemic prevention regulations will actually be in vain.

What is the cause of this?Some say it is individualism, liberalism, and anti-intellectualism, while others say that the government has no control over the grassroots. These factors all exist, but they are not essential.

What kind of individualism and liberalism can disregard the safety of others and think that they have the right to go to bars freely without wearing a mask?But does he have the freedom not to work for the capital group?

From an individual point of view, it seems to be possible, as long as you choose not to work and wander on the streets, but it is impossible for everyone in a normal society to be like this, and from a group perspective, there is no such freedom at all.

In these so-called modern countries, thrift is no longer a virtue, and the media controlled by capital groups are pervasive, sparing no effort to promote consumerism.

Its purpose is to let people always overdraw their income to consume products; and at the same time sell their labor force to produce products for capital groups.

People are in a state of consumption hunger all the time, and have to pay the bills of the previous month and the previous month every month. Once they lose their jobs, they will immediately fall into financial crisis, and everything they own may be withdrawn.

Capital groups don't care whether someone is unemployed or not. What they want to construct is such a social state that everyone has to work overtime for it.As long as they want to hire the people they need, there are always enough social groups to choose from.

The proletarians, even the proletarians who already think they are the social elite, are coerced into it, and they have no internal circulation ability to resist risks, so they have no other choice.

Such a social state is not only what the capital groups hope, but also they deliberately created, but once the whole society is shut down, the price will be unbearable, and no one will bear it.

Take Brussels as an example. 80.00% of the employed population in this city are engaged in the service industry, and consumerism has been baptized for many years.

If strict and thorough control measures are adopted, even if it is only for one month, people who lose their jobs and income will not even be able to live this month, let alone paying back last month's bills.

It is impossible for private organizations that usually provide paid social services to mobilize supplies and deliver them to thousands of households. This kind of thing is neither profitable nor powerless to them.

Therefore, there is no way to truly implement the most effective control and isolation measures from a medical point of view, otherwise society will collapse before the epidemic disappears.

So in Hua Zhenxing's view, the world is sick.

Greedy people have been overdrawing the future, so that they cannot save the present. An epidemic that does not depend on human will has exposed many truths.

The wealth gathered by capital is currency, and the means used is to control the pricing of assets, and more and more wealth is virtual.For example, the annual trading volume of gold futures in the world is a hundred times the actual gold production. Apart from the wealth game, there is not much practical significance.

In the economics textbooks of universities in various countries, the capital market pricing method has been clearly written, which is the discounted cash flow model. In principle, it is how much wealth it will bring in the future, so how much it is worth now.

But the wealth of the future does not exist yet, it needs people in the future to create it, and the current world is trading with this concept.

Hua Zhenxing thought of Rochester again. He used to be a social elite. When he was a doctor, he saved lives and healed the wounded. What happened in the end?Today's Lord Rothschild has made a fortune from investing in medicine, but has he ever developed or produced a medicine?

Rothschild did nothing but play with financial capital.Yang Tehong asked Hua Zhenxing to remind Rothschild that he was ready to short the stocks of Oldham Pharmaceutical Group. Hua Zhenxing didn't turn the corner for a while, but Tang Senzhi helped him analyze and understand.

Rothschild is already an important shareholder of the Oldham Group, so how can he profit from the damage to the Oldheim Group's share price?

On the surface, he does not need to sell his own stocks, but secretly he can use another seemingly unrelated account to go short, and he can also use financial leverage to maximize profits. As long as the stock falls, he can make a fortune.

When the time is right, he will use the money he earned from short selling to buy stocks at low positions, so as to achieve the goal of controlling the group.

Can you still play like this?As long as you know exactly that the company's stock is going to go down, you can play like this!The system of the modern financial market is designed in this way, and a large number of financial derivatives are used to do this.

When everyone was discussing this material, Tang Senzhi opened his mouth to explain it to Xiaohua, which was regarded as a special class.

154 Octopus and Birds

When Tang Sen finished his "lesson" to Huazhenxing, Locke looked at the material and said, "Neither the Auheim Group nor Belly Country has the ability to develop this vaccine. They should have obtained it from other countries." Vaccines under development, I want to verify or imitate them.”

For a new type of virus that spreads and mutates extremely quickly, it is very difficult to develop an effective vaccine, and the cost in modern society is also very high, and it takes enough time to do various experiments and obtain complete data.

Research institutions in various countries are actually racing against time, and they are all supported by national forces.There are only a few big countries that have this capability, and Beli is certainly not among them.

Although the Oldham Group has relatively strong financial resources, it is still not enough in the face of this kind of strategic investment.So this has nothing to do with Belly Country or Oldham Pharmaceutical Group, but they can't wait any longer.

Although Oldham has not come to discuss the specific cooperation details, Rothschild has already guessed what he wants to do, which is to test and screen the various vaccines that are currently available.

For example, Dongguo, Miguo, Hansiguo, and Maoluoguo have developed their own vaccines in different ways, but they have not yet completed all clinical trials because of insufficient time.

Even if some are already on the market, Beliguo dare not confirm their safety and effectiveness.

For example, a vaccine from Dongguo, even if other countries can get it, in the face of a brand-new vaccine developed by a brand-new virus in such a short period of time, without knowing or even trusting, would you dare to vaccinate the whole population on a large scale? ?

At least the Beli Kingdom did not dare. This is not a matter of one or two people, nor is it a matter of a small number of people, but involves the whole people.

What if there are any side effects that are not clear?What if the "enemy country" deliberately left some kind of defect... There is no conspiracy in the world, and there will be if you think too much.

Beliguo should have obtained a batch of vaccines, no matter what means they obtained, some are in the clinical trial stage, and some may have been marketed in small batches.

Beli country needs to find a group of volunteers to test first, and the number of samples is large enough. It must first confirm its safety, then confirm its reliability and effectiveness, and finally screen out one or several vaccines, so that the people of the country can use them on a large scale. Inoculate.

This is what the Oldham Pharmaceutical Group does. It will be profitable for them if the vaccine is screened out and authorized to be produced, or if it bypasses the patent and makes its own imitation.

But the cost of finding volunteers for drug trials is high, especially in places like Beli.This is not something that can be done by one or two people. In theory, the more people involved, the better, so that the data obtained can be truly reliable.

So Oldham thought of the port of Fiso again, where the international hospital can do various experiments, but the collaborators such as Jin Datou, Captain, Lucas have disappeared, and this time they need to find new collaborators to "buy piglets" "Are.

According to old man Yang, what Oldham wanted to do was called "buying piggies", and the participants in the experiment didn't get paid or even knew about it, all they had to do was give the leader of the organization "piggies" a sum of money.

Those who do this kind of business seem to have given a lot of benefits, but compared with the huge cost of drug trials, they are simply negligible.

Moreover, the research and development of vaccines is not a one-shot deal. The virus is mutating, and the vaccine needs to be upgraded accordingly. In the future, we can continue to cooperate.

After analyzing what Oldham wanted to do, Cui Wanhe asked again: "Oheim is coming tomorrow, how can we talk to him?"

Yang Tehong: "I'm too lazy to deal with this kind of person, let Mr. Tang come forward, first reach a cooperation intention, and talk according to the formal drug experiment.

In the absence of any evidence, don't treat the other party as a bad person. Vaccine development is very important, and drug experiments are also essential. We don't need to oppose this kind of thing, it just depends on how it is done.

As for the details, we can wait until they arrive at Port Fiso, and try to find a way for Auheim to go in person. "

Dong Zegang reminded: "He may not dare to go, and there is no need for him to go in person for this kind of thing. Even if he does an illegal drug test, he will make it legal on the surface and will not implicate himself.

The easiest way to avoid liability legally is to find an agency to outsource, and this agency is our new alliance. "

Yang Tehong waved his hand and said: "It depends on how you talk. The new alliance can provide him with security and allow him to see enough benefits. But he also has to show enough sincerity to come to Feisuo Port in person. .”

Tang Senzhi: "What should I do after I come here?"

Yang Tehong said lightly: "Let's do it! Feisuo Port is not an illegal place."

Is the port of Fiso not an extraterritorial place?If it were half a year ago, anyone would think this sentence was a joke, but now it can indeed be announced, at least in the Klin District.

Cui Wanhe was a little surprised and said: "We are not fishing..." When she said this, she hesitated to speak, but her expression was still a bit tangled, and she always felt that something was wrong.

Yang Tehong didn't change his face and said: "That's right, we are just fishing. If he is really a fish, why not catch him? He has done too many bad things in Feisuo Port, why don't we think of a way to deal with him?"

Dong Zegang reminded in a low voice: "Your boss said just now, first agree to cooperate and provide him with security."

Yang Tehong said seriously: "The Kelin District guarantees the personal safety of all residents and visitors and punishes illegal acts. Do you understand? If he abides by the law, we will guarantee his safety. If he has illegal acts, we will punish him." Bring it to justice.

The new alliance is not a gangster, so try not to use some dark tricks if you can, and follow the dignified and righteous way.If he should clean up, we will clean up, this is the right way... But, we need a tainted witness, and we need to get all the evidence. "

Tang Senzhi nodded and said, "I understand what to do now."

Wang Fengshou also nodded and said, "I will arrange it."

Yang Tehong glanced at Hua Zhenxing who had been silent all this time: "Xiaohua, sometimes being smarter than the bad guys is not a shortcoming."

Hua Zhenxing quickly nodded and said: "Actually, you can always say more cunning, I understand."

Yang Tehong: "There is one more thing I want to remind you. I'm afraid I will leave it to you to solve it at that time. It may not be easy to really try to solve Aoheim."

Dong Zegang interjected: "We will try our best to do a good job at the legal level. After all, it is our own territory."

Yang Tehong: "What I'm talking about is another matter. Someone entrusted the magicians of the Forgan Foundation to deal with Rothschild. If the mastermind behind the scenes is really Auheim, then this person will not be easy to take down. .Those who know how to use magicians must also be magicians."

Hua Zhenxing was a little surprised and said: "Could it be that Aoheim is a magician? I don't look like it. Could it be that he is a master with a perfectly restrained expression, just like you always? But I can see that he has cultivated Nourishment technique, it doesn't look like it's fully started yet."

Yang Tehong snorted coldly: "Like me? You think too much! He may not be a magician himself, or he may have been inherited but failed to practice. He is probably a member of this circle, and there are magicians around him "

Locke nodded and said, "Boss Yang's analysis makes sense, we must be careful."

Hua Zhenxing: "It doesn't matter what his background is, we can do what we can! It's not like we haven't dealt with magicians before."

In the early morning of the next day, Hua Zhenxing opened the window and let the bamboo magpies fly.The window of the hotel room he lived in could only be opened a small crack, so people couldn't get out, and in fact, bamboo magpies couldn't get out either.

But today, the bamboo magpie had an unprecedented change, as if it was alive, folded its bamboo wings, twisted its body and squeezed out from the window, and then spread its wings to fly high into the sky.

Although bamboo is very elastic, this is a movement that bamboo products cannot do at all. If it is still the original bamboo magpie, it may have broken or squeezed the window seam.

The bamboo magpie is the one that Hua Zhenxing cut by himself in the mountains, and this time he brought it to Brussels. Anyway, it is very convenient to take the private charter flight provided by the Fulgan Foundation, but today this bamboo magpie seems to have "evolved". .

Originally, the bamboo magpie could only do simple gliding movements, but now it seems to have really turned into a bird. This kind of change has also occurred on Locke's paper airplane.

The bamboo magpie flies in the sky, using the airflow to actively change its posture from time to time, which saves a lot of effort to control. If Hua Zhenxing wants to make a joke, he can even let this bamboo magpie fly into someone's house with a wallet or something.

With the help of the bamboo magpie, Hua Zhenxing can overlook the city from a high altitude, as long as it is within its flying range, the scene in every corner can be seen at a glance.

As long as Hua Zhenxing is willing, he can even let it fly beyond the reach of his consciousness. This requires mana to be spent in advance, and the route and destination are set, or let it go to a certain place and come back, or Let it send a letter.

The premise of being able to do this is firstly that the mana provided by Hua Zhenxing is sufficient, and the bamboo magpie itself can bear it; "All right.

This is actually nothing unusual, remote-controlled drones can do the same, the mana is equivalent to the battery or fuel carried by the drone, and the route drawn by the divine sense is equivalent to its flight control program.

However, Hua Zhenxing cut a bamboo magpie with his own hands, and after the latest sacrificial training, he can play as a drone without any other external objects. Of course, it feels very novel and exciting.

The streets of Brussels are deserted, with few vehicles and pedestrians.However, in a few blocks, Huazhenhang still found crowds gathered, and some people gathered to pray together, with mats but no masks, and the police seemed unwilling to go there to meddle in their business.

Hua Zhenxing sat on the big bed, as if he had closed his eyes and settled down. He was testing Zhu Que's "performance" and his latest ability.In the end, the bamboo magpie flew back by itself, like a big bird that got in through the crack of the window, and floated to the coffee table to spread out and rest.

Hua Zhenxing opened his eyes, and suddenly heard someone say: "You have broken through the cultivation base of the four realms. Could it be that you became a magician and first learned the puppet eye technique?"

Turning around to see, old man Yang was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, holding a cup of tea in his hand.President Huazhen let out a sigh of relief: "Mr. Yang, when did you come in? Don't bring such scary things!"

Yang Tehong: "I don't see you planted under the bed, you are quite calm."

Hua Zhenxing: "I have been used to being scared by you since I was a child. You are always elusive, and you may appear from somewhere at any time."

Yang Tehong: "Look, it's good to exercise more."

Chapter 155

The bamboo magpie released by Hua Zhenxing today had obviously "upgraded". Yang Tehong was alarmed and hurried over, and then found that Hua Zhenxing's cultivation had broken through the four realms.

The foundation of Hua Zhenxing's cultivation is Yuan Yang Shu, which originally did not involve any supernatural powers, but the methods he came into contact with and borrowed from were not limited to Yang Yuan Shu. A magic weapon that can carry supernatural powers.

In fact, it’s not completely self-taught. I learned the paper airplane technique from Locke, and then Uncle Mo taught him the wooden magpie technique. Hua Zhenxing has already played the bamboo magpie very delicately, but limited by his cultivation, the bamboo magpie It's still just an ordinary dead thing.

Hua Zhenxing once saw with his own eyes that the day after Locke broke through the four realms of cultivation and became an official magician, he took the paper airplane technique he had practiced for many years to a new level.

To learn from the example, Hua Zhenxing released such a bamboo magpie today. Although it is made of bamboo, its characteristics are not only the original bamboo quality.

According to the usual or traditional method, after a monk breaks through the four realms, he should first consolidate his cultivation for a period of time, and then learn the imperial weapon if necessary, that is, how to use the magic weapon.

This step distinguishes the characteristics of sect and master.Because the characteristics of various magic weapons are different, a certain sect and a certain master may only be good at a certain aspect, and it would be good to have one or two magic weapons for the poorer ones, so there is often no choice, just learn to use what you have what.

After there is no problem with the imperial weapon, you can try to learn how to refine it, that is, make your own magic weapon.However, some sects and monks are not good at this way at all, so there are great differences in refining methods and levels.

Refining equipment should collect all kinds of precious materials according to the characteristics of one's own skills, which are the treasures of heaven, material and earth, and then endow them with various magical powers, so as to achieve the unity of mind and matter.

This cannot be forced, it is impossible for you to forge whatever magic weapon you want, and create whatever magical effect you want, everything depends on the accumulation of cultivation base and various opportunities.Refining equipment will fail many times, and failure may also hurt the body and spirit.

Locke can be regarded as a strange monk. After Mr. Dawson died, no one taught him at all. The book that recorded the inheritance of his school of magic system was also thrown in the bank safe and never opened.

Locke finally turned the paper airplane into a magic weapon. The material he used was not a natural treasure. He didn't even know the concept of heaven, material and earth treasure. It was ordinary A4 printing paper. Some people in this place think that it is a good thing.

Using A4 printing paper to make a magic weapon is simply too weird, but he actually made it, which is to turn decay into magic.

Locke has been playing with paper airplanes for more than ten years, and it once became his sustenance. There are countless paper airplanes damaged in various encounters, and he has experimented with various means of strengthening and transforming paper.

When he finally became an official magician, he was able to stack more than a hundred paper airplanes together and miraculously consecrate them into a paper airplane. This is what Hua Zhenxing saw with his own eyes.

The communication and influence between people are mutual, not only is Hua Zhenxing teaching Locke the Yuan Yang technique, but Locke, who has deeper cultivation and more complicated experience, also has many things that Hua Zhenxing can learn and imitate.

Hua Zhenxing had a wooden magpie at the earliest, which was destroyed by Frick, and then he picked bamboo locally to make a bamboo magpie. Of course, the materials used were not natural treasures, but the most common materials, but It represents the result of a search, a choice between life and death.

The way he sacrifices bamboo magpies is different from that of paper airplanes. The basis is still the wooden magpie technique taught by Mo Shangtong. Damaged, it became a magic weapon spirit magpie instead.

The three old men have never formally taught Hua Zhenxing imperial weapons and refining weapons, because it is not yet time, but playing with bamboo magpies and refining gold is actually laying the foundation.

As a result, when Hua Zhenxing broke through the realm, he was able to refine weapons and imperial weapons without a teacher.Locke did this, and he looked like a miracle among monks, but his own child did the same. In the eyes of Old Man Yang, he was a genius, and he was very satisfied.

It's just that old man Yang didn't say this out loud, because he was afraid that Hua Zhenxing would be too complacent.

There is also dissatisfaction in satisfaction. Old man Yang looked at the spirit magpie spread out on the coffee table, and the more he looked at it, the more awkward he felt, which was far from the level he was used to.

Even though he already has the ability to refine weapons, doesn't he know how to change his appearance?It's still such a big and stupid guy, it's hard to squeeze through the window, and it's not easy to carry it with you!Whose magic weapon is this virtue?

In fact, old man Yang can refine this spirit magpie to be more delicate and delicate as long as he takes it over and plated it, but he still refrained from doing that.

Magical treasures are the ones you are most familiar with when you refine them yourself. This process needs to be mastered and thoroughly understood slowly. No matter how clever other people's methods are, it is not good to intervene without authorization.

Hua Zhenxing knew that old man Yang liked to show off, but he sometimes resisted showing off.

If Hua Zhenxing had already learned how to forge weapons, but spent so much energy and cost to forge magic weapons only with ordinary bamboo, he might be scolded by his master.
