A small round table surrounded by five well-dressed men, who were playing the poker in their hands intently.

Gambling is always an effective way to quickly bring in relationships, and when Lynch, who officially settled in the community, first expressed his desire to hold a small friendship card meeting at a community event, it quickly attracted some people's attention.

Thanks to Lynch's recent frequent appearances in the newspapers, and even the overturning of the head of the investigation team of the Sebin City Taxation Bureau, some people may subconsciously avoid excessive intimate contact with him, but some people are willing to get close to him.

The tax bureau is the enemy of every high-income group, and someone can make the tax bureau fall behind, and it is definitely a thing that can make them feel happy for these people who rack their brains every month to avoid taxes.

What's more, being able to move into this community also means that at least Lynch already has the ability to talk to them on an equal footing on an economic level, and they don't mind broadening their network.

In such an environment and atmosphere, the first friendship of the friends with cards was successfully held.

This is a different kind of play than any other way Lynch knows in another world, it is played by five people, each with ten cards, the rules are simple, the core is the exchange, when the exchange is over, the card is compared.

Before the game starts, everyone has to put down a closing card for themselves, and the final hand must meet their own card requirements, and then score and deduct points according to the size of everyone's hand.

In addition to the "cards" used for the exchange, there are also points for the game, and before the game, each person takes out two hundred pieces, one hundred of which becomes their base score - one hundred points.

Another 100 pieces become the common points in the pool, that is, the remaining 500 points.

At the end of the game, everyone can get an equal amount of money in their hand.

This is a very popular way to play, popular all over the world, many people think that it already has the core foundation of commercial trade, every game is a fierce trade war, each person represents a company, a chamber of commerce or even a group, and the pool of points represents a bank.

Winning is not just about winning as much as possible, because the trading of points often occurs in the process of a draw, which is a real game, and sometimes the person who has been winning has lost money in the end, and the person who has always lost may have won some.

The name of this game is called "Pieva", which is a word with many meanings, which can be seen as the core of the game, "pay", or as "demand" after victory, and its charm is unstoppable and popular all over the world.

Not far from these gentlemen, several ladies were sitting on wicker chairs near the floor-to-ceiling windows, sipping fine flower teas and competing for beauty.

Of course, their topics are always about the trendy stuff, from fashion shows, to new season jewelry design exhibitions, to new movies and the movements of celebrities and dignitaries.

Sometimes it is difficult for men to find out that their wives are so well-informed and versatile, as if they know a little bit of everything, which is completely different from the stupidity and ignorance of being alone.

Just as vanity grows when women sit together, men sit together and talk about things, not just at the table, but outside the table.

"The economic development index in the first half of the year is down by 11 percentage points compared to last year, and the recession is already very obvious, how long do you think this will last?"

It was a gentleman sitting across from Doolin who was wearing a shirt with silver trim, and he rolled up his sleeves in a less elegant way, and the thick body hair on his arms was exposed, giving him a very strange feeling.

It's like ...... There was an orangutan disguised as a human and blended in with us.

He is a factory owner, and the low labor and various expenses in the second-tier cities have become the favorite gathering place for factory owners, and opening a factory in a second-tier city can save a considerable part of various expenses compared with opening a factory in a first-tier city.

Land use costs, warehouse rental and management costs, including the largest expenditure, labor costs.

Another gentleman shook his head, "We all feel that the market is shrinking rapidly, goods are not selling, profit margins are falling, but the financial market is still very prosperous, and it is said that the Bayler Industrial Index has set a new high!"

The other gentlemen, including Lynch, couldn't help but laugh, and the laughter was full of ridicule, perhaps they didn't quite know why they were in such a mood, why they laughed.

They just rely on their own feelings that these things are not normal, and the stagnation or even regression of economic development not only does not affect the performance of the financial market, but often creates miracles, which is very problematic.

In fact, long before Lynch's time travel, there were economists who expressed their opinions that the federal economy would soon be devastated, but most people ignored these views in a kind of frenzy that seemed to have been brainwashed.

The truce around the world has brought the long-lost peace to the world, and most people's view is that the war is gone, and people are beginning to develop the economy, and the economy will only get better, not worse.

Some economists duly put forward the unheard of statement of "peaking and rebounding", which has successfully become the only cognition in the eyes of the people, who believe that the current short-term downturn is just the whole society digesting the economic results, and soon the economy will usher in another round of rapid development.

People want to believe what is good for them, even if they know deep down that it may not be true, they force themselves to believe that it is true.

The gentleman sitting to the left of Lynch casually took out a card and put it on the table, and now it was his turn to call, "One point, I need an IX.◆ ......", he picked up the solid color placed on the ashtray and took a sip, and slowly spit out, "If the financial market continues to maintain such a high momentum, it may continue for a long time." ”

After he had said this, the other gentleman took out a diamond nine and threw it to him, and took from him the card he had exchanged for and a chip representing one point.

The game is still going on, and everyone is actually very clear that the unexpected boom in the financial markets means that there are many people who are benefiting, and the gains in the financial markets make up for the fact that they are losing money, and there are even a lot of surpluses, so more money is starting to flow from the real economy into the financial markets.

The digital game market is more prosperous because of the rapid inflow of hot money, and many business owners are shrinking their physical business and putting money into the financial market to make money, which is much easier than waiting for those things that cannot be sold to be paid.

Almost all of the gentlemen in this room have their own stock and futures accounts, and in addition to socializing everywhere every day, they listen to the stockbroker or futures broker relay to them how much money they have made today.

Although they have been making money, they are still worried that this is a phenomenon that is contrary to common sense, but they don't know what to do, so they can only silently follow the development of the times, and be carried by the torrent of the times to the unknown ahead.

"By the way, Lynch, can I call you that?", after getting Lynch's confirmation, the guy who spoke continued, "What kind of business do you have?"

Lynch and the other gentleman reached an exchange of intentions, and as he collected the sort of things in his hands, he replied, "I have a service company, an auction house, and if you have any good business to take care of me, come to me at any time." ”

People are always curious about what they don't know, "Auction house, is it easy to make money in this industry?"

Lynch shook his head, "No bank is easy, gentlemen, we only make hard-earned money. ”

People asked questions like the name of Lynch's auction house, and when they heard that Lynch's auction house was not aimed at the middle and upper classes of society, they lost interest.

Of course, the game continues......
