Chapter 430: Hedging and p2p scams, so many tricks for a poor scholar?

A breeze blew, and the pavilion was silent.

Gao Yang's words were too honest.

Even Wu Zhao had nothing to say for a while.

Shangguan Wan'er's face turned black, and she asked, "Then what does Lord Gao think the scholars of the world go to the capital for the exam for?"

Gao Yang first looked at the expressionless Wu Zhao, and then said very directly, "There are two types of officials in the world. The first type is like Minister Yan, a clean censor, who is dedicated to the commoners, but this is a minority after all. More people go to the capital for the exam to be officials, nothing more than for money and women."

Wu Zhao: "..."

She took a deep breath. If someone else said this, she would definitely be served by the dog-head guillotine, but since Gao Yang said it, she had to say it was the truth.

"Lord Gao, I see it, you are very honest with me now."

"But what you said is indeed the truth."

Gao Yang smiled and said, "That is natural. My loyalty to Your Majesty is like the surging river, continuous and endless. My sincere heart can be seen by the sun and the moon."

Wu Zhao couldn't listen anymore, stretched out her slender white fingers and knocked on the stone table hard, "I have heard too much flattery, I don't lack yours, you continue to talk about the poor scholar."

Gao Yang saw this and spoke.

"As Your Majesty said, returning to the poor scholar himself, for a poor scholar who not only freeloads but also takes money, what is the purpose of taking the imperial examinations and placing on the list? It is nothing more than power!"

"With power, there are women and money."

"But now that the financing is successful, there are women and money, so what is there to take the exam for?"

"Used as the capitalist way, this is called a bubble."

A sentence fell, making the two frown.

"Bubble?"

"If I remember correctly, this bubble is easy to collapse, right?"

Wu Zhao heard Gao Yang's words and said.

Gao Yang lowered the grain price in Linjiang City, and she had repeatedly pondered his methods, and Gao Yang also mentioned that he first attracted grain merchants from the outside with high prices and raised the grain price in the city to the sky. This is a bubble!

Bubbles are easy to collapse!

Gao Yang smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right."

"All bubbles in the world are like this."

Wu Zhao nodded and said, "I have learned a lot today. I really didn't expect that a small story contains so many truths."

"And you explained it very thoroughly!"

Gao Yang bowed and said, "Your Majesty's praise, but this story is not over yet. The capitalist way contains economic truth. From ordinary commoners to kings and nobles, this story still has it."

Wu Zhao was a little surprised.

"Both the rich lady and the poor scholar have said it, is there a follow-up?"

Gao Yang revealed a smile, "Your Majesty, there are also maids and book boys!"

Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er widened their eyes upon hearing this.

Maid and book boy?

Gao Yang continued, "The maid, according to the rich lady's arrangement, after recording the poor scholar's name, took out a small notebook from her pocket. She recorded the book boy's name."

"Although the maid cannot directly invest in the poor scholar, she can invest in the book boy beside the poor scholar. If the poor scholar passes the exam, the book boy will also skyrocket in value, and the maid will naturally benefit. This is called follow-up investment."

"On the other side, the book boy looked at the roster in his hand, weighed the silver in his pocket, thought of the soul-stirring night last night, and continued on the road with the poor scholar. He relies on the poor scholar to make money, which is called a platform."

"A group of people found the poor scholar, let the poor scholar teach them experience and technology, and then share the money earned with the poor scholar. This is called joining!"

Wu Zhao: "..."

Shangguan Wan'er: "..."

Good guy.

Wu Zhao called out good guy directly.

Rich lady, maid, poor scholar, book boy, none of them are simple in this story.

"Of course, this is not over yet."

"The poor scholar has been going back and forth on the road to the exam for three years, earning beauty and silver, but the three-year period has arrived, and the poor scholar decided to go to the capital for the exam and make another profit."

"The poor scholar arrived in the capital, showed his face everywhere, showed his literary talent and knowledge, and because of his fame and talent, he became a popular candidate for the list!"

"Someone secretly opened a market to bet on whether he could pass the exam. The poor scholar took one-fifth of the silver he cheated, and let the book boy buy that he couldn't pass the exam, so that passing the exam is a big profit, and failing the exam is not a loss. This is called hedging!"

Shangguan Wan'er felt a wave of scalp numbness.

This poor scholar, she thought he was a infatuated man before, but she didn't expect him to be so sinister and cunning!

This hedging move is simply ruthless!

Whether it is passing the exam or failing the exam, this poor scholar is a big profit!

Sure enough, those who play economics are dirty.

Shangguan Wan'er quietly looked at Gao Yang and made a decision.

Gao Yang didn't know Shangguan Wan'er's thoughts, and even if he knew, he didn't care.

On the contrary, the more he talked, the more interesting it became, so he continued, "Because the poor scholar is handsome, he was accidentally taken a fancy to by the princess and was exempted from the imperial examination. This is called listing."

"But in this way, the poor scholar takes the money from one hundred wealthy young ladies along the road and arrives at the Imperial Capital, only to end up not taking the imperial examinations and accidentally becoming a Prince Consort. He is unable to fulfill his promises to these wealthy young ladies, and their investments are completely lost, all going down the drain."

"This is called a p2p scam!"

"Your Majesty can also call it the Gao scam!"

Wu Zhao looked moved, "It turns out this is called a p2p scam, the Gao scam!"

"I finally understand now!"

Gao Yang revealed a smile, "Your Majesty asked me about the vicious scam last time. This p2p scam is one of them. Those who are proficient in this way are all first-class merchants!"

"I know, but since there is listing, there is naturally delisting. These rich ladies were deceived, and then they went to the capital to sue the son-in-law for justice. Is this delisting?"

"Is this delisting?"

Wu Zhao spoke, curious.

Gao Yang's gaze carried amazement. Wu Zhao is truly a born capitalist constitution.

He spoke, "Your Majesty is truly intelligent. These rich women were deceived and went to the capital to ask Your Majesty to preside over justice. This is called rights protection!"

"Your Majesty was furious after learning about it and wanted to behead the scholar. This is called delisting!"

"For example, this is a story in the Chu Kingdom. At the time of execution, the executioner just raised the big knife and was about to fall, and a eunuch rode a war horse and held an imperial decree and shouted 'mercy under the knife'!"

"It turned out that the poor scholar's mother arrived at the Imperial Palace. She was Xia Yuhe by the lake of Great Chu, the old lover of the Chu Emperor. This poor scholar is the biological son of the Chu Emperor who has been separated for many years. This is called market rescue!"

A sentence fell.

Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er were all plunged into endless shock.

They felt a wave of scalp numbness.

A small story, but it contains many economic truths! ===== CHAPTER 432 =====
