[Financial card blessing completed——]

[Temporary printing completed!] 】

[Your current [underlying assets] are: 4,000,000 ZED]

[Because you have not carried out real-name authentication in the financial street, your [economic magic] behavior in another space will be limited by the quota!] 】

[Finally, for every holder of a financial card, we would like to offer this passage from the bottom of our hearts - the inquiry into the natural process of wealth, but also about the natural process of human society or the economic process within a country, and it should be considered the most promising study for gaining insight. 】

[Financial Street Developer's Appendix: Wealth is a tool of life, unfortunately, in today's world, wealth has taken over the dominance, and it has seized the position of the way of life and the content of life. As a result, wealth became a part of life (if the financial street does not help humanity, then I am a sinner). 】

Xia Jian turned with great interest the card with a [beast] printed in his hand, an anonymous [financial card] on the dark web for about 5 cryptocurrencies (about 132,493.50 Western dollars).

"Mr. Abraham, the equity deal is complete, so I won't talk about it here." Ben Geer put away the equity transfer contract he had just signed, and then said respectfully to the blonde young man who was spinning the card in front of him.

"Thank you for the association's help." Xia Xiu replied to Ben Gehr with a smile.

Ben Geer had an embarrassed smile on his face, and then he quickly left the luxurious room he had arranged.

Looking at the consul of the association who had fled, Tours stopped rubbing his hand on Jiamu's dog's head, Jiamu hadn't been released by Xia Xiu for a while, and he didn't need to be too nervous to make any big moves this time, so Jiamu was released by Xia Xiu.

And during this time, it was Tours who helped him walk the dog.

"These guys are scared of you." Turce said to Xia Xiu.

"Don't slander me, I didn't make a move, I didn't threaten them, why did I threaten them." Xia Xiu blinked his eyes innocently.

This guy is really thick-skinned. Turce muttered to himself.

"So what are we going to do next, get this card and find John Giovanni?" Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Zhou tugged at the cards in his hand to test the hardness while asking his own questions.

"Of course, Giovanni's black-hearted ghost is now staying in the alien space projection of [Financial Street], in fact, it is much more convenient to defeat it in [Financial Street] than to defeat it outside, and then our plan is also very simple: empty Giovanni's [extraordinary assets] in [Financial Street], make him [bankrupt], and then concretize these [extraordinary assets] and smash it to death."

The blonde youth smiled and clapped his hands at the crowd.

"Isn't it easy?"

Broly, who has been a blank sheet of paper for a week and has been an 'otaku' for many years, nodded along with Xia Xiu's words, it is indeed very simple, and Tours, who knows the many twists and turns inside the [Financial Street], looked at the two 'simple' teammates, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to support his forehead, speechless.

[Trading Challenge], this is one of the unshakable iron ranks within [Financial Street]: in [Financial Street], thaumaturgical entrepreneurs who hold [extraordinary assets] are never allowed to hoard assets - assets must be kept in circulation, assets must be traded.

Thaumaturgists with a large number of [extraordinary assets] must keep resources in circulation, so when [Financial Street] was developed, one of the underlying rules was that asset holders must complete a small transaction once a week (the small amount is divided by the holder's corresponding [extraordinary assets], and there is no restriction on the means of trading).

Trading is the gain or loss of assets.

The so-called transaction is either a continuous asset stacking or a continuous asset reduction.

Constant upward circulation will inevitably lead to monopolies and asset oligopoly, and upward mobility may also lead to the formation of investment preferences and asset bubbles. The owners of these large thaumaturgical assets tend to invest their capital in high-yielding areas and assets, which in turn leads to excessively high asset prices in these areas, forming asset bubbles, while other areas face the problem of lack of investment and lack of resources.

"It's not easy for you to make Giovanni [bankrupt], I have inquired about the distribution of his extraordinary assets in [Financial Street], it is very stable, basically he has not been trapped, and if you launch a [hostile takeover] against him. It's also unlikely, you know, our share is limited, it's simply not possible to launch [hostile takeover]. Turce wagged his fox tail and began to think about what to do.

[Hostile takeover], one of the means of intra-financial transactions, refers to an organization or thaumaturgist who acquires control of the target force by directly purchasing shares from the target's shareholders or other means without the consent of the target's personnel or management.

[Extraordinary Securities] are personal items, the holder is not its owner, and a hostile taker can make a large acquisition from its owner (this kind of trading competition is only allowed between thaumaturgists who publicly list their assets, and at the same time, competition can only be launched within the [Financial Street]).

For example, a thaumaturgist visualized his concept of the use of fire thaumaturgy and EVE particles through the Financial Street into ten shares of [Extraordinary Securities], which were acquired by a [financial card] holder and placed into a [position].

And when the holder of the [financial card] is in the [Financial Street] different space (this kind of operation is only allowed in the [Financial Street] different space), there is a target person who takes a fancy to the ten assets in the holder's hand, and he can launch a [hostile takeover] to snatch these ten assets through malicious competition.

There are advantages and disadvantages of [Extraordinary Assets], good assets cast thaumaturgy is stronger and more stable, while bad assets are sometimes released like evil god rituals, hurting others and hurting themselves.

"Giovanni is on the list of the richest people in the [Françaine Financial Street], with [extraordinary assets] of 2.24 billion Western dollars.

This is the realm of [Fran Island], even if you have money in this life, you don't have a spiritual binding with [Financial Street], and you don't become a real member of the financial lineage, it is impossible to exchange too many [extraordinary assets], and our current card is still not temporary, and the limit is too much to die. Turce held up the card in his hand and said with a headache.

"Therefore, the specific operation in this is to get the different space of [Financial Street], and the essence of the transaction is not to get the highest price, but to increase what they want and give them what they need." Xia Xiu showed a familiar smile at Turs, this smile was full of playfulness and interest.

Turce wanted to say something, but looking at the smile on the blonde young man's face and what the other party had been doing in recent days, he chose to keep his mouth shut.

"Then, let's go directly to [Fran Island Financial Street] to see the magnificent miracle created by the Addison Federation."

Xia Xiu stood up and took out the [financial card], then he swiped at the void, and then whispered to himself:

"Consumption and Finance Phase Gate."

[-666 USD]

Puff –

A black portal emerged from the void, and in the doomsday light carved inside the door, a new beast rose from the ground, its form was blurred at first, but as it gradually appeared, it could be seen that it had two horns. These two horns are slender and soft, like a newborn lamb, and look harmless and innocent. The horns of the lamb were as white as fresh snow, without blemish, as if to prove its innocence.

However, when the beast began to speak, everything changed. Its voice is deep and powerful, like the roar of an ancient dragon, full of terror and authority. This makes one wonder how a creature with the horns of a seemingly docile and innocent lamb could make such a terrifying sound?

【Certification completed!】 】

Xia Xiu squinted slightly and stared at the [beast] on the door: He rose from the ground, with two horns like a sheep and spoke like a dragon.

"Go through the same door with me, so that you won't be scattered when you teleport, of course, the fee still has to be deducted, and there is also a charge for bringing the dog in." Xia Xiu turned his head and said to the three people and one dog behind him.

After speaking, Xia Xiu raised his feet and stepped into the portal.

And after Xia Xiu entered, the others also picked up the temporary [financial card] in their hands and whispered to themselves to consume, while Turles, who was riding on Jiamu, made two consecutive purchases.

"Tsk, even the consumption of dogs is 666, it seems that [Financial Street] is very fond of this number that is one digit less than the representative number of the kingdom of heaven." After the consumption, Tours muttered to himself.

**********

Hub, Ile de France, Financial Street.

When Xia Xiu opened his eyes again, he had already appeared in a bizarre and strange world.

Towering buildings are interspersed with the skyline, and the iron-cast structure interweaves curves and patterns to create a unique retro aesthetic. Huge steam exhaust pipes are embedded in the building, emitting a strange white vapor that fills the air like a mysterious mist.

The façade of the building is decorated with bronze sculptures and wrought iron decorations, reflecting the rays of the sun and shimmering with metallic sheen. A huge clock tower stands in the center of the city, and the hands point in the direction of the future, signaling the passage of time. The top of the building is adorned with an intricate airship docking platform, in which airships of all shapes and sizes rise and fall, adding a touch of romance and fantasy.

The streets are filled with steam-powered vehicles, from classic horse-drawn carriages to stylish steam cars, with a wide range of vehicles plying the spacious and busy streets. The streets are lined with colorful neon signs, flashing in a variety of bright colors, reflecting the smiling faces and wistful eyes of the people.

People wear fashionable steam windbreakers and carry steam-powered equipment, freely shuttling through all corners of the building, feeling the integration of technology and art.

And in the distance there is a big slogan.

[Let thaumaturgy and technology empower life together!] 】

"It's really Addison's dream city building template." Xia Xiu stretched out his hand and pressed the top hat on his head to cover his eyes, and then whispered.

Many research companies within the Addison Federation like this magnificent and dreamy architectural style, but one of the things that has always been criticized for this dreamlike architectural style is the huge light pollution, which makes the city covered in a dazzling coat of light.

"This is the other hub area, it's completely different from [smoke-free city]."

Broly's exclamation came from behind him, followed by a week, and the last to appear was naturally Turce riding a dog.

"[Île Fran] is leaning on the different space of [Financial Street], and the development is certainly different." Turce spoke, and then he looked up as well.

I don't know if it's because he's too sensitive, he found that the density of aliens in [Fran Island] is actually comparable to that of [Smoke-free City], you must know that [Smoke-free City] itself is a gathering place for aliens, and [Frankland], which is an important port for foreign trade of various countries and a [hub] that also has a projection of different spaces in [Financial Street], will gather so many aliens.

"Gentlemen, do you want a ride?"

A cheerful voice came into the ears of the four people from the side, and a young man with freckles on his face and pointed ears slowly drove a classical carriage to stop in front of the four people and a dog.

It is worth noting that the pointy-eared youth is a little short, and the white horses on which he rides have a pair of small wings behind them.

"Gentlemen, my two Pegasus fly very steadily, I have a [flight pass], and my compartment has extended thaumaturgy and stable thaumaturgy, so I don't have any bumps when I sit down." Reed Rory enthusiastically introduced himself to the four guests with unusual temperaments.

"You're a Harry." Xia Xiu looked at Rory, and then said in an affirmative tone.

"Oh, sir, you are so well-informed. A lot of people think of me as a dwarf, and I've told them I'm a Harry, not a dwarf! Rory's smile suddenly became more genuine when he saw that someone could recognize his race.

The Harrys are not dwarfs, and although they are all the same short in stature, the Harrys have pointed ears and are mostly on the passing line.

"Is the city toll [in France] still 66 dollars?" Xia Xiu inquired about the Harry man in front of him.

"Yes, it's still 66 dollars." Rory nodded and replied honestly.

Although he also wanted to make a pit man's counting table like those black-hearted counting drivers to fool the outsiders, but when he thought of the consequences of being reported, he gave up this thought, after all, he had the carriage that his father bought in the last century to rely on, and there was really no need to take such a big risk to do those black-hearted businesses.

"Is there a Financial Capital Times and a Metropolitan Newspaper in the car?" The blonde youth asked another question.

As soon as Rory heard this, he knew that this order was stable, and he immediately nodded quickly and replied:

"Yes, yes, all of them are the latest issue, is the gentleman [trader]?"

"No, we're just tourists passing through [the Isle of France]."

The blonde boy shook his head and smiled, then motioned for Rory to open the carriage.

Rory quickly opened the carriage, Xia Xiu held the handrail and walked into the carriage, while the others followed. After entering, they made sure that Reed Rory was not lying, and that it was quite spacious.

"Where do you want to go, sir?" Rory inquired about Xia Xiu in the carriage.

Xia Xiu didn't reply immediately, he pulled out a copy of the "Financial Capital Times" from the compartment shelf, and the headline screen on it was [France], and he looked at the headlines.

Hostile Takeover! 》

[1690.6.15.[Hostile Takeover]: Giovanni Energy [Hostile Takeover]: New Grand Trader John Giovanni made a [hostile takeover offer] for Valais Thermopower.] The attempted takeover sparked resistance from Valais management and shareholders who believed that Giovanni Energy's offer undervalued Valais and that there were strategic and regulatory obstacles.

The next day, John Giovanni launched a personal [hostile takeover] on the street to snatch one of Valais Thermal Power's major shareholders [Extraordinary Assets], a move that can be understood as Giovanni's ultimatum to Valle Thermal Power. In response to Giovanni's [hostile takeover], Valle Thermoelectric activated the [poison pill measure] to limit the actions of hostile acquirers by amending the articles of association or agreement of the transaction. 】

"Valais Thermoelectric Office Building."

After reading the contents of the newspaper, the blonde young man looked up and said a word to Rory.

"Yes, sir."
