Chapter 876: Business Taming

Thinking of the virtual currency worth several hundred billion US dollars he held, thanks to Yang Qing's reminder.

And thinking of the huge funds he had extorted over the years from unsavory people.

All this was the direction Yang Qing pointed out for him.

It can be said that without Yang Qing, there would be no Thirteen Hall today.

It allowed Thirteen Hall to become a world-top dark force in just a few decades.

Otherwise they would still be engaged in prostitution, gambling, drugs, and all kinds of fraud.

Contacting Daxia, he understood clearly.

Not contacting, the result seemed even worse.

He simply had no choice.

Moreover, facing this wave of wealth that might last several years.

He also did not want to give up.

So he truly had no choice.

"Alright, Qing Ge'er, I suppose I'm in your hands for this life."

Yang Qing shook his head.

"Go back and take a good look at what kind of Daxia Daxia really is, then we'll talk."

"Maybe they just don't want to dirty their own hands."

After saying that, Yang Qing said nothing more.

Long Shan's expression shifted upon hearing this, and he then asked Yang Qing to explain clearly.

But Yang Qing kept his mouth shut tight, not saying another word.

Long Shan had no choice but to leave.

Those thinking of fleeing could never imagine what awaited them.

Over the years, many who fled ended up as beggars, and not a few.

Others vanished, dared not show themselves, and lived in constant fear.

Once they were glorious; now they are as miserable as they were once splendid.

Some even found they could no longer survive and actively requested extradition home.

Of course, few people know about all this.

Precisely because their money cannot see the light, when it's gone, no one cares.

The smarter ones still know to increase exposure, so others dare not act recklessly.

But a siege is not so easily escaped.

With no way to strike, they'd sell you a loaf of bread for ten thousand dollars and ask if you want to eat?

There are always those who think they can live above the law.

But they don't know that Yang Qing had already laid a net of heaven and earth for them.

Besides Thirteen Hall, there are also Jingmen, Qing Bang, and others doing similar things.

Online there once was a rumor that Qing Bang donated ten trillion, and it actually has considerable truth.

Jingmen, too, has not donated little.

By afternoon.

A new livestream began.

Yang Qing had already begun to find the livestream a bit tiresome.

Because the gifts were pouring in too much, he could not even see a chance to rest.

He can't livestream every day, can he?

These netizens have ill intentions.

One day of livestreaming, you brush billions of gifts—what do you mean?

It's endless.

Full of resentment, Yang Qing's big head appeared again.

No more talk, hurry up and connect.

Yang Panpan also sensed that her grandfather's mood was low today, and the connection was swift as well.

A woman's voice then appeared.

The voice was very cultured; hearing it, one could recognize the speaker.

"Hello, Yang Lao, I'm so glad to be able to connect with you."

"I've been watching your livestream all along, benefiting greatly; many things I didn't understand before are now clear."

"But there are some things I can understand, yet I still feel a bit unable to accept."

"Yang Lao, could you trouble yourself to explain it to us?"

Yang Qing squeezed out a smile.

"Welcome your questions; please begin."

Li Xueqin has received higher education; for many questions, she actually knows the reasons.

But she cannot tell who is good and who is bad.

She wants to hear Yang Qing's opinion.

"Yang Lao, someone already said yesterday that many Shopping Mall stores in Ouluoba are actually closed on Sundays."

"I also understand the reason: it's because of religious faith."

"What I can't figure out is, in a commercialized society, why would they leave money on the table and not earn it?"

"They are clearly a business society! Can faith possibly block their desire for money?"

"Aren't businesspeople profit-seeking?"

"This phenomenon has greatly distorted my perception."

"I hope Yang Lao can clear up my doubts."

"Yang Qing's eyes widened a little, but his fake smile remained unchanged."

"This question is indeed unique."

"I actually have a bit of an explanation."

"Look, can you shift your perception?"

"You just said they don't open on Sundays because of faith."

"That reason is correct."

"This is their tradition, just like why we must celebrate the New Year."

"Moreover, you're right that businesspeople are profit-driven; can faith stop their profit-seeking heart?"

"My answer is negative; those Westerners, for profit, killing and arson are everyday occurrences, and faith is not that strong."

"Since faith's power is insufficient to stop their profit-seeking, what makes them leave money on the table and willingly close shop?"

"I think it's that the benefits here are insufficient to make them risk the cost of breaking tradition and push it through forcibly."

"In other words, their closing behavior won't cause them huge losses."

"They've clearly closed, so why is there no loss of any benefit?"

"I believe they achieve profit balance through a method of business taming."

"Just like feeding chickens: if you feed them on schedule, most chickens will arrive on time to eat."

"The same principle applies: if you're sure to close on Sundays, most people will surely buy what they need on Saturday."

"If this strategy is implemented well, it will not only not reduce revenue, but can even reduce costs."

"After all, there's a day when no one works overtime and no overtime pay is needed."

"However, this method doesn't work in tourist cities."

"So tourist cities should have many businesses staying open."

"Do you think this explanation works?"

"Li Xueqin went over it in her mind and felt this explanation made sense."

"Yang Lao, I accept this explanation."

"Moreover, you're right that tourist cities indeed mostly stay open."

"Yang Lao, I feel quite aligned with the term 'business taming'."

"The phenomenon of business taming is indeed very common now."

"I want to ask something here."

"Yang Lao, do you agree with business taming?"

"Yang Qing felt this person was deliberately coming to give him a tough problem."

"This question is hard to answer because, whether you answer yes or no, it's imperfect for this question."

"Since neither side works, he naturally takes the middle path."

"I won't avoid this question, nor play your left-right word games. I'll just say it straight: I neither support nor oppose."

"I don't support it because some business taming loses conscience."

"For example, Yingjiang's sugar and avocado marketing."

"This has left Yingjiang with many obese people and diabetics."

"Now Yingjiang even defines obesity as a mark of the lower class."

"It has harmed countless people."

"I cannot support this behavior."
