A small round table is surrounded by five well-dressed men who are concentrating on playing poker.

Gambling is always an effective way to quickly get into the relationship. When Lynch officially settled in the community said he wanted to hold a small friendship card meeting at the community activity for the first time, he soon attracted the attention of some people.

Thanks to Lynch's frequent appearance in the newspaper recently, and even turning over the head of the investigation team of Saibin tax bureau, some people may subconsciously avoid excessive close contact with him, but others are willing to get close to him.

The tax bureau is the enemy of every high-income group. Someone can make the tax bureau stumble. For those who rack their brains to avoid tax every month, it is definitely a thing that can make them feel happy.

Moreover, being able to move into this community also means that at least Lynch has the ability to have equal dialogue with them at the economic level, and they don't mind broadening their contacts.

In such an environment and atmosphere, the first fellowship of card club members was successfully held.

This is a kind of playing method different from any other playing method Lynch knows in another world. It has five people playing, each with ten cards. The rules are simple, and the core is exchange. When the exchange is over, compare the cards.

Before the start of the game, everyone should top the next end card type for himself. After the final hand is formed, he must meet the card type requirements put forward by himself, and then score and deduct points according to the size of everyone's card type.

In addition to the "cards" used for exchange, there are also the points of the game. Before the game, everyone took out 200 yuan, of which 100 yuan became their bottom point - 100 points.

Another 100 yuan will become the common points in the point pool, that is, the remaining 500 points.

After the game, everyone can get the same amount of money as his points.

This is a very popular way of playing, which has swept the whole world. Many people think it has the core foundation of commercial trade. Every card game is a fierce trade war. Everyone represents a company, a chamber of Commerce or even a group, and the point pool represents a bank.

Winning is not just as simple as winning as possible, because the trading of points often appears in the process of changing cards. This is a real game. Sometimes the person who always wins loses money in the end, and the person who always loses may also win some.

The name of this play is "piava". It is a word with many meanings. It can be regarded as "payment" at the core of the game or "claim" after victory. Its charm is unstoppable and popular all over the world.

Not far away from these gentlemen, several women are sitting on rattan chairs near the French windows, tasting superior flower tea and competing for beauty.

Of course, their topics are always inseparable from those fashionable things, from fashion conferences to the jewelry design exhibition of the new season, to the newly released films and the trends of some stars and dignitaries.

Sometimes it's hard for men to find that their wives are so knowledgeable and versatile. It seems that they know something, which is completely different from their stupidity when they are alone.

Just like when women sit together, vanity keeps growing and begins to compete. Men sit together and talk about something, not only on the card table, but also outside the card table.

"The economic development index in the first half of the year dropped by 11 percentage points compared with last year. The economic recession has been very obvious. When do you think it will last?"

The speaker was a gentleman sitting opposite Dooling. He was wearing a shirt with silver silk edge. At this time, he stroked his sleeves less elegantly, and the thick body hair on his arms was exposed, giving people a very strange feeling.

It's like... An orangutan disguised himself as a human and mixed with us.

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

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

Another gentleman shook his head, "we all feel that the market is shrinking rapidly, the goods can not be sold, and the profit margin is declining, but the financial market is still very prosperous. It is said that the Bayer industrial index has reached a new high!"

Other gentlemen, including Lynch, couldn't help laughing. The laughter was full of ridicule. Maybe they didn't know why they had such emotions and why they laughed.

They just feel that these things are not normal with their own feelings. The stagnation or even regression of economic development not only does not affect the performance of financial markets, but also frequently creates miracles, which is very problematic.

In fact, long before Lynch came, some economists had expressed their views that the federal economy would be hit hard soon, but most people ignored these views in a kind of fanaticism that seemed to be brainwashed.

The armistice around the world has brought a long lost peace to the world. Most people think that the war is gone, and people begin to develop the economy. The economy will only get better and better, not worse and worse.

Some economists timely put forward the unheard of saying "hit the top rebound", which has successfully become the only cognition in the eyes of the people. They believe that the current short-term downturn is just the digestion of economic achievements by the whole society, and soon the economy will usher in another round of rapid development.

People are willing to believe those statements that are beneficial to themselves. Even if they know in their hearts that this statement may be incorrect, they should force themselves to believe that this is correct.

The gentleman sitting on Lynch's left took out a card and put it on the table. Now it's his turn to bid, "one point, I need one IX ◆......" he took a sip of the solid color placed on the ashtray and slowly spit out, "if the financial market keeps such a high momentum, it may last a long time."

After he said this, another gentleman took out nine diamonds and threw them to him, and took his card in exchange and a chip representing one point from his hand.

The game is still going on. In fact, we all know that the unexpected prosperity of the financial market means that many people are benefiting. The income of the financial market makes up for their losses, and even has a large surplus. Therefore, more money begins to flow into the financial market from the real economy.

The digital game market is more prosperous because of the rapid inflow of hot money. Many business owners are shrinking their physical businesses, putting money into the financial market and making money with money, which is much simpler and easier than waiting for those things that can't be sold to get back.

Almost all the gentlemen in this room have their own stock accounts and futures accounts. In addition to socializing everywhere every day, they listen to the stockbrokers or futures brokers convey to them how much money they have made today.

Although they have been making money, they are still worried that this is a phenomenon contrary to common sense, but they don't know what to do. They can only silently comply with the development of the times and rush to the unknown front by the torrent of the times.

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

Lynch and another gentleman reached an exchange intention. While sorting out his order, he replied, "I have a service company and an auction house. If you have any good business to take care of me, please come to me at any time."

People are always curious about things they don't know, "auction house? Is it easy to make money in this industry?"

Lynch shook his head. "No bank is easy, gentlemen. All we make is hard money."

People asked some questions, such as the name of Lynch's auction house. When they heard that Lynch's auction house was not for the middle and upper class of society, they lost interest.

Of course, the game continues
