sleepless nights.
Jinshi thought about it all night, and finally came up with a solution - credit card cash out to repay the repayment amount on the day! As for what to do next, he didn't care too much.
So just before dawn, he took his credit card and went out.
It's just that when I first entered the game, there were several NPCs in the streets and alleys who helped to cash out. When he was in urgent need of money and looking for someone, he couldn't find the target NPC.
After wandering in the business district for half an hour, he finally found his target!
Jin Shi strode forward and explained his purpose directly, "I need a credit card to cash out."
Who knows that the man shook his head regretfully, "Brother, you are late."
"How do you say?" Jin Shi's heart tightened.
"The economy is sluggish now, and all walks of life are short of money. Banks are very strict, and they can't cash out any more." Now… "
The man kept shaking his head, meaning that he had nothing to do.
Jinshi realizes that something big is bad. In real life, even in the event of an economic crisis, credit cards can be cashed out. Although it is not a good thing to tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, but at least it can respond to emergencies.
However this is a game. If the person in front of him didn't lie, then it's probably a rigid rule of the system not to be allowed to cash out after the 10th day of the game.
Thinking of this, Jin Shi's complexion was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he felt that he was at a dead end.
After making up his mind, he asked, "If you can't cash out, can you continue shopping by credit card?"
Hearing this, the man's expression immediately became weird. He sighed lightly and said earnestly, "Brother, listen to my advice. Now the economy is not good, so just play leisurely. If you owe money, you have to pay it back. This is not a golden rain in the world, just use it..."
Before he finished speaking, Jin Shi grabbed the other party's collar and interrupted irritably, "Don't talk too much, answer my question!"
If there were other solutions, he wouldn't need to drink poison to quench his thirst. Haven't been forced to rush, can't think of a way
The man was startled, and it took a long time for him to regain his senses. He answered with difficulty, "… I can shop by card."
After getting the answer he needed, Jin Shi loosened the other party's collar and hurried to the pharmacy—the medicine in the carry-on warehouse had been used up.
Jin Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief after swiping his card to buy medicines worth 2,000 bezels. It didn't take long for his brows to knit together again. The more debts you owe, the more you can't pay by working alone!
After thinking about it, he felt that only stealing, robbery, kidnapping and other unfunded transactions could help him get out of his current predicament.

After breakfast, Zhong Rui asked calmly, "What are you going to do next?"
With money in your pocket, no matter what you do, you appear confident.
Su Han was a little distressed, "I thought about selling wholesale cheap lipsticks at street stalls, but now I don't think it's necessary."
During the economic crisis, there is an interesting economic phenomenon called the "lipstick effect". This means that whenever the economy is in recession, lipstick sales will skyrocket. The underlying rationale is that an economic recession will significantly reduce the income of the masses. Under the premise that money is tight, people still have a strong desire to consume, and they will turn to buy some cheaper commodities.
In addition, the burden of life is huge, and people need to relax from time to time to relieve stress. Therefore, when the economy is in a downturn, the movie box office and game industry business are usually very hot.
However, in the current game, the system will probably skip the middle process and go directly to the late stage of the economic crisis, making the residents unable to afford food. In this way, it is difficult to say whether the lipstick will sell well or not. Coupled with the fact that the little friend has a huge amount of money, there is no need to take risks.
"How about going to the trading market together? Let's go to the casino to play a few games after that." Zhong Rui suggested.
Su Han looked sideways, "Didn't you say that you filled up your carry-on warehouse? Can you still stuff it?"
Zhong Rui answered earnestly, "In the later stage of the economic crisis, the prices of asset commodities will plummet. I planned to buy some gold jewelry early in the morning, so I reserved a place." What if you continue to use this account for the next trial? Stocking up is always good.
Su Han was silent. She said to her heart that in the next game, even if others continue to use the game characters at hand, Zhong Rui will definitely change accounts. Holding a warehouse of supplies, what else are you trying to play? Directly crush the copy!
After thinking about it, she agreed, "Let's go, go shopping."

Zhang Jing took a sip of the mineral water, her brows filled with anxiety. It's been three days since she was fired from the bakery... She still can't find another job.
At first, he was full of arrogance and scolded Boss Zhang for not knowing the goods. Since I was fired, I would take the opportunity to change to a better job, and I would never do it with a daily salary of less than 150 bels.
But after just one day, the necessary expenses for food, drink, lodging, and the daily repayment of 120 bels wiped away her arrogance.
Zhang Jing couldn't help thinking about it, even if the daily salary was slightly lower, at least he could find a job first. Her savings is not much, only 800 shells, and she will definitely not last for a few days. If the loan can be repaid, it will be much easier at that time. She can change jobs or change jobs at her discretion.
But she soon discovered that even if she lowered her expectations, she could not find a suitable job. Many bakeries told her that there is no shortage of manpower, and there is no need to recruit workers for the time being. So she could only finish one home and try her luck at another.
Finally, Zhang Jing found a bakery that was short of staff. But the other party said that they only needed cheap apprentices with a daily salary of 60 bels, and they also required to be able to work overtime and be durable.
Zhang Jing's eyes darkened, unwilling to accept it, but there was no other way. All the shops applying for jobs seem to have a unified caliber. They all say that business has been bad recently, not only do they not want to recruit people, but they even want to lay off staff.
In desperation, she could only grit her teeth and promise to be an apprentice. After all, it's a job.
However, Zhang Jing couldn't stop bleeding. With a salary of 60 bels per day, after meeting the living expenses, there is basically nothing left. The daily repayment amount is still to be paid out of the deposit.
But the deposit is not much, and once it is spent, she will not be in debt!
At this moment, Zhang Jing felt annoyed from the bottom of his heart. If she has never owed debts, her daily salary of 60 bels is enough for her to live well and save some money every day.
If you saved money well in the past and had a lot of savings, and now you can pay off your debts in one go, you don't have to worry.
But she didn't do anything.
Relying on good years, high wages and arbitrary spending, now it is time to start paying off debts when the environment is bad. However, having no assets means that her ability to withstand pressure is extremely poor, and it is difficult to deal with even the slightest emergencies.
The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. In the end, Zhang Jing lowered her shoulders and felt remorse.

In the villa, Zhang Yong, the richest man in the town, is reading the business report of the store under his name.
Assistant Zhou reported the situation with a poker face, "The daily sales of the stores have dropped by 40%-70%, and the profit level has plummeted. Two of them even suffered losses, and the situation is not optimistic."
Zhang Yong fell into contemplation after reading the business report, and then quickly made a decision, "The loss-making stores will be closed directly, and the remaining stores will reduce production by 70%, and at the same time cut all unnecessary expenses."
Cut all unnecessary expenses... Assistant Zhou immediately understood and nodded, "Understood."
Zhang Yong said slowly, "Under the current circumstances, survival is the most important thing."
After a pause, he asked again, "How much cash do you have on hand?"
Assistant Zhou reported a number and reminded with a blank face, "Recently, the prices of land, houses, stocks and other assets have continued to decline, and the book number of your personal assets has also been shrinking."
Zhang Yong didn't care much, "These are only temporary. After the economic winter, asset prices will return to normal levels. Remember to help me keep an eye on market trends. Once low-priced high-quality assets appear, immediately buy them."
"Yes." Assistant Zhou simply responded.
After the command, Zhang Yong smiled calmly and contentedly. He whispered to himself, "Through this winter, I will be richer."
Keeping cash to hunt for dips, this is the calmness of the rich.

When he heard the wave of salary cuts and unemployment, Su Han already realized that the situation would not be very good. Just after walking out of the star hotel, she found that the situation was worse than expected.
Some residents have been unable to pay the rent and have to move out of their homes and live on the streets.
During normal working hours, there are many pedestrians running around on the street, with a look of anxiety on their faces, obviously they have been fired, and they have not found their next home.
The store is empty, and it takes twenty to thirty minutes for one or two customers to come in. Then they often leave the store without buying anything.
Some people started selling valuables at home for cash, food and water.
Zhong Rui leaned over to ask the price, and quickly shook his head regretfully, "The current price is too high."
Su Han was not surprised. She thought that when the mountains and rivers are exhausted and many people are eager to cash in gold and silver jewelry to buy food, that will be a good time to buy.
"Going to the casino next?" she asked.
"En." Zhong Rui had already made a plan, "Make more money, and you can be more calm when scanning goods."
Su Han thinks, in case the casino goes bankrupt, it must be because of Zhong Rui...
The two were about to go to the casino, but saw a masked man riding a motorcycle and snatching a pedestrian's satchel. Then he stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
The young woman who was robbed collapsed on the ground, covering her face and crying bitterly, "That bag is a famous brand! I wanted to exchange it for money, but why was it robbed?!"
When faced with an existential crisis, moral corruption and order collapsed so quickly. Su Han was terrified and couldn't help but raise his vigilance.
Zhong Rui naturally took his little friend's hand and claimed, "It's too easy to be targeted when you travel alone. We hold hands, it proves that we are a group, and most people don't dare to come here."
Su Han looked sideways, thinking that if anyone stared at them, it would be really bad luck.
But thinking about it this way, she didn't break free, and let her friends hold her.

In the Jinjiang Group office, the air pressure is unprecedentedly low. The staff lowered their heads one after another, knocked the keyboard loudly, and pretended to be working seriously.
Li Yue's face was expressionless, especially speechless. The two who were tied for the first place were operated by gods every day. He was almost used to it, and it was fine to ignore it anyway. Unexpectedly, there are no fuel-efficient lamps among the 20 demo players!
Either you are proficient in doing business and make money early to pay off your credit card debt; or you never think about swiping your card and seek other ways to get rich; or you break through the situation violently and resolve the crisis in an unexpected way.
Li Yuemu asked with a face, "Is that guy called Jinshi? The one who made a misjudgment in the early stage and hoarded goods in debt?"
"Yes." The staff member who was questioned lowered his head and his voice was extremely soft, as if he was afraid of stimulating the sensitive nerves of his boss. "After finding that the credit card could not be withdrawn, he spent 2,000 bei for medicine, 1,000 bei for daily necessities, and 1,000 bei for daily necessities. Bei bought tools. Then he used force, broke into the villa, and directly tied the town's richest NPC Zhang Yong..."
"Then extort cash from Assistant Zhou and pay off the credit card debt in one go."
"Because there is food, water, daily necessities, and medicines in the carry-on warehouse, there is no shortage of everything. He can live in the villa until customs clearance."
The richest NPC with hundreds of millions of assets was kidnapped by the trial players because of a debt of 10,000 Becca. It was really particularly tragic.
Li Yue was silent for a long time before he said, "If I remember correctly, there are ten bodyguards in the villa where Zhang Yong lives?"
"Yes." The staff looked helpless. There are ten people who are not good enough, and the demo player broke in when he said he would break into it.
"After the trial is over, remember to add ten bodyguards to the richest NPC." Li Yue commanded firmly.
"Then now..." the staff asked for comments.
Li Yue sighed softly, "Let him go."
Kidnapping the richest man is one of the customs clearance methods. It's just that he didn't expect that one player can do it without swarming.
People who break into houses privately with their strength are of course customs clearance.
