Chapter 296 People's hearts are not ancient!

   Herds of cattle and horses.

   Today is more lively than usual.

  Although many players in this group made reservations early, in fact, less than one-fifth of them actually entered the game, and more people still ordered to make reservations and watch the fun.

   "Hahaha! I just saw a fool hang 1 yuan on 5 silver coins, and it disappeared in an instant."

   "Damn! Didn't find it!"

   "Awesome! Just now I saw a big guy hang up 800 silver coins! 40,000 yuan was sold!"

   "Fuck!"

   "@狗管理, did you do it!"

  Mengxin will definitely not be able to spend so much money.

  Although they have never been in the game, they often watch the dog managers brag, and they have a better understanding of the situation in the game.

   No one came forward to claim the deal.

   The chat was quickly dismissed.

   But after chatting and chatting, the management still popped up.

  Ye Shi: "Brothers."

   Quit smoking: "What's wrong?"

  Ye Shi: "I want to play professionally."

   Quit smoking: "?"

  Old Bai: "..."

  Gust: "..."

  Fang Chang: "Squint eyes."

  Ye Shi: "Damn it! What's your reaction? It's the highest level perception department in the whole server. Isn't it strange to play a profession?"

  Fang Chang: "No, I just want to ask, which 'amateur player' is online for twelve hours a day. (Squint eyes

   Quit smoking: "Hahaha, I also want to complain, this is not considered a profession, so what is a profession?"

  WC really has mosquitoes: "Very good! Very energetic! Come and fly the plane with me, it's so cool! (Show teeth

  Ye Shi: "Roll!"

  ④ Who understands: "Hey, I'm so excited to see it... earning one hundred silver coins a day, isn't it five thousand a day? Gan! I should have filled out the form with you at the beginning!"

  Scrambled eggs with tomatoes: "This price fluctuation is a bit outrageous. Do you think someone will use this thing to launder money?"

Fang Chang: "emmm... I don't know about using the keyboard to launder, but in reality, money laundering needs to meet three conditions 'simultaneously'—difficult to track, large enough trading volume, and high degree of control by the dealer. Obviously, these three conditions in "Wasteland OL" None are satisfied."

  The platform itself does not provide payment tools. Money laundering is not called money laundering by exchanging U.S. dollars for Zimbabwean currency, but turning illegal income into legal income. The anonymity of "Wasteland OL" is the anonymity of players. A uses the bank system and B transfers money to buy game equipment, which is a hammer for banks to be anonymous.

   Not to mention the trading volume, the total turnover of less than a few million silver coins changed hands close to 200%, not to mention how much can be laundered, even if the facts are aside, which fool would use someone else's plate to launder money?

Before the Federal Reserve releases water, you have to take a look. The operator's "smashing the market" is not just a matter of moving your fingers to adjust the data, giving you 100 million silver coins, and then using "abnormal transactions" to lock the account, holding the number yourself Let's play stand-alone.

   After washing and washing, I really went to wash the dishes.

  Using game equipment to launder money is more magical than using U.S. stocks to launder money. Anyway, the transaction volume is large enough, and overseas investment income can really be made legal through certain operations.

Game currency is the medium of transaction in the game, but it is "game equipment" outside the game. The issuance of this thing is adjustable in the hands of the operator. Today you exchange one million US dollars for one million Silver coins or a piece of gaming equipment, tomorrow a million dollars may be worth only a hundred dollars.

   Unless the operator cooperates with you.

  But think about it with a little brain cells, people are guarding a gold mine with more than one million reservations in the B round, why should they cooperate with your dishwashing business?

  Obviously, the helmet can be delivered to the player, and the official website can be accessed normally until now. Even if there is no written permission from the official organization, at least a certain degree of acquiescence has been obtained.

  But Brother Chaodan is a chef after all, so it’s normal to have a narrow mind. Most people know how to write money laundering at most. Who really knows what the operation process of this thing is.

Fang Chang: "Beta 0.2 this time is actually very interesting. The official did not directly set a price for silver coins, but allowed players to consign and sell them freely. Even the handling fee was charged in silver coins. Obviously, the operator of "Wasteland OL" has no I plan to use this platform to make money. Many of you must have made some money, but I don’t know if you have thought about the official motivation for doing this.”

  Ye Wei, who was holding the phone, blushed.

   To be honest, he really didn't think about these things.

   "What is..."

Fang Chang: "The Nasdaq exchange was originally established to regulate the chaotic over-the-counter trading market in the United States and provide financing channels for small businesses. Offline transactions of silver coins have always existed, but the scale is small and no one has disclosed them, etc. After the number of players increases, some people will definitely start a trading platform like IGXE outside the forum, and now it is equivalent to the official platform. It is safer for players, the price is more transparent, and it is conducive to supervision for the official.”

   "In addition to regulating the market, it is to allow round A players to realize part of the game revenue. Although it sounds strange, it is indeed the game company that is giving us red envelopes."

   And the amount of red envelopes is not small.

   As long as it wasn't because of my brain problems, I hung up a hundred silver coins and 10 cents. When the trading platform was first launched, everyone made a little bit of money.

  Especially that Yaya.

   A silver coin was exchanged for a bitcoin, and I don’t know which idiot was taken advantage of.

  Everyone took the initiative to come out and said that they would return it, but no one came out to claim it.

   It can only be said to be charity.

  WC really has mosquitoes: "Do you think there will be fools who sell their equipment for silver coins? (Funny

  Fang Chang: "Fools exist at any time, but there is a common sense here. Whether it is selling one's own equipment or adopting a more conservative behavior in the game, it will cause oneself to fall from the original echelon."

"Let's make a prediction. There will be two trends in the future. One is that the assets in the game will be more transparent. Cloud players will pay more attention to the land prices, equipment prices, and economic trends of the new alliance. Raiders, and indirect investment in in-game industries through other players holding game assets on behalf of others.”

Not everyone has actually been to the colonies in the Age of Discovery. Most people may have only read a few lines in the newspapers, but this does not prevent a London professor of physics and the director of the mint from possibly holding a colonial company stock.

  The silver coin trading platform sets any form of assets.

  In addition to real-world assets, of course, it also supports trading in-game assets. At the same time, the method of investing in the game world is not only silver coins, but also other things.

   Such as technology.

  Although there are many black technologies in the game, and the batteries on the exoskeleton are all solid hydrogen, the most basic railway and communication facilities are still at the level of World War II.

  Wasteland OL, which is still in the B round stage, still has unlimited potential, and these are potential markets.

Fang Chang: "The second trend is that it will be more difficult to maintain a level advantage than the Alpha version. Casual players can play whatever they want, but those who are willing to live will invest more silver coins in upgrading their level and combat power. It’s worth it, especially the latest Merchant System and Corps System! These two systems will burn a lot of money, but the rewards will also be huge!”

"The round B test will be a reshuffle, and the players in the A round will cash out part of the benefits according to their contribution in the A round. In the same way, the B round players will see the A round players' income, and will pay more attention to the C round dividends. Efforts to upgrade."

   "To sum up, everyone has idle silver coins to sell some, and give newcomers a little chance and game experience, which can also improve their lives by the way."

"But remember not to sell too much. After all, silver coins are one of your 'shares' in this game in addition to contribution points and sequence levels. Excessive overdraft will lead to being out in round B, and your position will be replaced by new shareholders. The dividends of the C round are none of your business."

"In addition, be a little careful when trading. Although there are many game equipment trading platforms, there is no law that stipulates that reselling game equipment is illegal, and no one cares about you for small amounts of private transfers. But if the amount is too large, it is best to consider the payment method. .”

   "And, don't forget to pay your taxes."

  Fang Changyu said a lot with great earnestness, and Ye Wei always felt that half of them were said to himself, especially the last sentence.

   But he felt that this old man cared a little too much.

  He is not stupid, how could he exchange all the silver coins on his body for money.

  Even a farmer knows to set aside seeds for spring plowing, not to mention he has been playing games for so many years. His understanding of equipment trading rules and real-world cases is much higher than that of some Xiaobai who don't understand anything and just make random analysis there.

   Just as Ye Wei took out a pen and paper, and was calculating how many silver coins would be suitable for consignment, he suddenly noticed that someone in the small group had hit him.

  There are only four people in the small group. Just after posting a lot of square length in the large group, they came here again to attack everyone.

  Ye Wei just wanted to ask what he was doing, but Fang Chang immediately typed a message in the group chat, which made him hold his breath involuntarily.

  Fang Chang: "I discussed it with Lao Bai. The Niu Ma Brick Factory has been in operation for nearly half a year now, and we have never had any dividends. Taking advantage of the launch of the trading platform this time, we can just share a wave."

   Dividends!

  Ye Wei almost forgot about it.

  Lao Bai is the director of Niu Ma Brick Factory, but the four people hold shares equally, each holding 5% of the shares, and the total is 20%.

Since Refuge holds 80% of the shares, dividends are actually a very bad thing. If you use the silver coins you earn to buy equipment and land, you can hire more labor to expand production, and they can make the cake bigger and bigger , so from the early version of the A-round test to now, no silver coins have been distributed.

   Thinking of the rewards given by the exclusive tasks completed by the brick factory, Ye Wei was instantly excited.

Fang Chang: "...the silver coins should arrive in the account within two hours. Although I am optimistic about the long-term value of "Wasteland OL" and the value of Second Life cannot be measured with worldly money, the price of silver coins will definitely drop in the short term. .”

   "There are a lot of people in the big group, I didn't say what I said too directly, and the effect of posting screenshots on the forum is not good, so I will just say a few more words here."

   "Set aside funds for Burning Corps development."

   "Toss the rest."

  …

  The second day after the release of Beta0.2 version.

  After being busy all day during the day, Zhang Hai just put on his helmet and lay down at night. Zhang Hai found that the sky in the game had changed.

  Originally everyone came to him to eat noodles as soon as they went online, but today they all ran to buy the Didiwei nutrition cream and the green wheat cake made by the residents of Beit Street.

  A long queue formed at the entrance of the NPC store, and the head and tail of the queue were invisible.

  As soon as he guessed it, he knew the reason. Looking at the steaming cauldron and the empty tables and chairs, Zhang Hai couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

   "People's hearts are not ancient!"

   "These gangsters! As for what? Don't you have anything else in your eyes except money?"

  The old customer who happened to pass by heard this complaint, and immediately couldn't help but spray.

  Ye Shi: "MMP! Are you embarrassed!"

  Irena: "You are the most expensive one!"

  Elf King Fugui: "6 silver coins for a bowl of ramen! Why don't you grab it!"

  The mole on the run in the canyon: "Exactly! Boss Crow has big breasts! He speaks nicely! What do you have?"

   Zhang Hai has a bad temper and a poisonous mouth, so he lost a sentence on the spot.

   "How do you know I'm not old? Want to try?"

  Ye Shi: "Get out!"

  Quit smoking: "Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

  The nutrient ointment on my hand is no longer fragrant.

  Seeing that the customers were disgusted and left.

   Zhang Hai began to regret it now, the customers are God, and he shouldn't be quick to talk in the game.

   "It's not an option to go on like this."

   Seeing that no one came to buy it, Zhang Hai had no choice but to secretly change the price on the wooden board to 5 silver coins when he saw the white foam in the pot.

   "Should someone buy it this time?"

   However, things backfired and had no effect.

  Zhang Hai could only put on a dark face, wiped off the 5 that was just written on it, and wrote a 4 on it.

  100% profit!

   What a loss!

  Zhang Hai was bleeding from heartache.

  However, maybe thanks to the price cut, maybe it was because the dog planned to look at him poorly, but today there are some more NPC guests.

  Some came to try out the early adopters after seeing the price cut, and some brought their children and wives to dinner together. Finally, there were more faces besides players in his booth.

  Looking at the curious and immature face following his parents, Boss Zhang finally didn't make up his mind to cut corners.

  Because the price was a bit cheaper than before, there were more and more customers at night, and in the end he was so busy that he didn't even have time to rest.

  But the NPC never urges him, after all, he can't understand the urging.

  Having been busy until half an hour past meal time, Zhang Hai had to rest for a while.

  Although he was a tired group, seeing the NPCs devouring his noodles and the hard-earned silver coins in the drawer, Zhang Hai couldn't help but smile on his tired face.

Maybe…

  I should hire a buddy.

   Go to the farm to open two branches.

  Versions are changing.

  He has to make a little change, too.

   Just as Zhang Hai was thinking about the future, there were loud shouts from the door of the shop.

   "Old man Zhang! Here's a bowl of noodles!"

   "Fuck you, I'm not old!" Zhang Hai didn't even look at it, but stared at him directly, "Look at my face, I'm at most twenty years old!"

   Sisi who was standing beside him pulled his tail.

   "Aowei, it's impolite, and how do you know how old he is? What if he is a younger brother?"

  Tail replied old-fashionedly.

   "Si, you don't understand this. Which young man would use his real name as his online name, and which young man would be anxious to be called an old man?"

   "I am your father."

  Zhang Hai chuckled, and placed two bowls of noodles on the table.

  Lightspeed Payment's tail slipped into the chair, impatiently pulling out the chopsticks from the barrel, but just as he was about to start, he screamed.

   "giao! Why is one piece missing today!"

   Zhang Hai said with a straight face.

   "Is it strange that the price has been reduced and the quantity has decreased?"

   Tail said pitifully.

   "But, why does Sisi have more bowls than me!"

   "Hand slippery."

   "Damn it! This vicious capitalist!" With a restrained expression, Tail sighed and shook his head, muttering, "Hey, for the sake of this last bowl of noodles, Tail won't bother with you."

   Zhang Hai's meat-cutting hands stopped, and he took a look at this lively little girl.

   "The last bowl? You stopped playing?"

   "How is that possible! We've only reached Beta 0.2!" Tail said with a smile, "This game is getting more and more interesting, okay?"

  Zhang Hai wondered: "The last bowl of noodles is..."

"Tail wants to open a mercenary union! The mercenary union needs funds, so Tail decided to go on a trip with Sisi!" Tail said with sparkling eyes, "There is also sesame paste and meat! We have an appointment, and we will start tomorrow! "

   "Don't say unnecessary things."

  Sisi lightly taught Tail a lesson with his small fist holding the chopsticks, cleared his throat amid the latter's mournful cry, and explained calmly.

   "In short, it's the business system... This prodigal woman bought a bunch of useless numbers, and I have to help her earn them back."

  Zhang Haiyu sighed earnestly: "You guys, you still have to be moderate... What's the point of krypton gold? Isn't it good to enjoy the game normally?"

   Tail said unwillingly.

   "Retired old man don't talk!"

   "Which of your eyes saw that I retired!"

  Zhang Hai rolled his eyes, and threw two slices of freshly sliced ​​cooked beef into her bowl.

   "Get out of here after eating!"

  …

  It has been three days since the Beta0.2 version went live, and it wasn’t just the Bulls and Horses who were selling silver coins.

  How to throw it?

   Of course, each has its own way of throwing.

  Although there is no K-line chart for silver coin consignment, the pending orders of historical transactions are all open and transparent, and it is enough to fine-tune up and down according to other people’s prices. This is not fundamentally different from CSgo’s jewelry transactions.

  If you find it troublesome, you can directly mark a silver coin as a dollar, and throw 10,000 to 20,000 silver coins on it.

   If you don’t mind the trouble, you can also split it into several or even dozens of small orders of 100 silver coins, and hang them on the positions of 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000… and wait for people to buy them. How much you can sell depends on your luck.

   Although this will be slower, it can maximize the benefits.

  With the emergence of a large number of selling orders, the price of silver coins finally began to fall gradually after the trading volume hit a new high.

   And all of this happened under someone's nose.

   "Hehe, clever little slicker."

  Looking at the transaction records in the background and the surge in the number of reservations, Chu Guang, who was drinking Nuka-Cola and watching a play, smiled.

  Brother Fang Chang probably has played in US stocks, and he is very good at selling high and buying low within a day.

  The big order dropped to single digits and then secretly put up a small order to pick it up. It oscillated a few times, and even the silver coins of the good brothers helped out together. I guess I am counting the money now.

   Some people sent private messages to inquire about his background and wanted to have a straight talk with him.

   Talk?

  Talk about a hammer.

   What's there to talk about "Fallen Empire" and "Star Natives".

  The Refuge is the last stubbornness of the People's Federation. Chu Guang has a problem with his brain, so he will use the helpless means of "showdown" to ask for cooperation when the other party can completely misunderstand him as an extraterrestrial civilization or other high-level existence.

  What does dimensionality reduction in the information field mean?

  Blackout? disconnected?

  That’s all pediatrics.

Xiao Qi can upgrade the version of the earth in the parallel world with a sneeze, and the "second world" has become the "only paradise", and the way to save the world is hidden in the game of advanced civilization, add these setting physics to the official website of the game Come on, do you play such a game?

  The five benevolent people will rush to play.

  Not clicking the "Transgressive Act" does not mean that this option does not exist, but that there are more suitable options that are more in line with his moral principles.

   Move the bricks well, and there will be things that should be there. Chu Guang is a reasonable person. If you work for him, you can get paid from him.

  This remuneration can be money in reality today, status in reality tomorrow, and even rise to the height of civilization in the future.

  A heritage from a higher civilization.

  The beneficiaries are more than individuals.

  So if you want to enter the game, you should fill in the form honestly, apply for a "work visa" according to the rules he made, and abide by the local "laws and regulations."

  The new alliance is one of the successors of the People's Federation. Does this manager want to lose face?

   As for the fluctuations in the silver coin market, what does Chu Guang think?

  Sit and watch, of course.

  Some people are willing to spend hundreds of thousands of silver coins for a dollar, and some people are willing to exchange hundreds of thousands of silver coins for one dollar. This has something to do with him. Which of these two things is not paper to him?

  As long as players are willing, of course, they can also put 10,000 silver coins on 1 yuan for charity, and everyone can earn money within their own knowledge. What's more, silver coins are not currency that can be used to eat in the real world, but game props.

   As for the value or not?

  Is it worth it to exchange a +999 dragon-slaying sword for a suite? Is Metaverse Real Estate Worth Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars?

   Talking about the above-the-line and online, which virtual things are not waste paper?

  At least silver coins in Wasteland OL can really buy land that can be built freely, not paper models that fool people.

  I feel that you are a rational person.

   If you think it is impossible, it only means that you have seen too little.

  The development of the new alliance from a wilderness to the current scale is inseparable from the efforts of generations of version players. Now that "Wasteland OL" has successfully operated to the Beta stage, Chu Guang will of course give some benefits to those who have helped him.

   And this is the reward they deserve for their hard work and progress.

   But Fang Chang was only half right about this.

  The original intention of Chu Guang to develop this platform was not to earn waste paper from another world, but it was not just to distribute dividends to beta test players and regulate off-market transactions, but also had two other deeper purposes.

  One is to assign value to the pie drawn in "Wasteland OL", and the other is to redistribute the wealth in the game.

  The former will make players more motivated to do tasks, and more actively participate in the corps system and trading system he planned.

  The latter will make the economic cycle in the game more reasonable.

   A bowl of ramen that costs less than 2 silver coins can be sold for 6 silver coins when the tax and land rent are extremely low.

  There is no such high profit!

   It can be sold so expensive, all because of the habit of high-income players.

  As the level increases, high-level players have too many silver coins, which cannot be consumed by buying equipment alone. It is difficult for ordinary aborigines with a daily income of just over 10 silver coins to consume products that players "price themselves". After all, no matter how their income increases, they will never be able to outperform "immortal" players.

  The players themselves have formed a closed economic cycle. In fact, they are the gentry or knights of the new alliance. If there is no administrative intervention, the risk of exporting inflation to the NPC market in the country will always accumulate.

  How to release the risk?

  Establishing official silver coin trading channels and assigning value to silver coins is just the first card Chu Guang played.

  Rolling in the closed-loop liquidity will release part of it outside the game, while the other part of the liquidity will be bought by players who are eager to become stronger in the new version, and invested in equipment, running business or other places, entering a virtuous circle.

And those players who have a joking attitude and yell "it's too expensive to order two more bowls" will also consider the weight of the currency more seriously, whether the things they buy with silver coins are worth it, and whether they price the products. Reasonable.

  If the citizens of a country have no awe of their own currency, the gentry masters unimaginable wealth but does not use it where it should be used, the risk is far more than just inflation.

  The new alliance already has more than a thousand players, and more people will be qualified for the beta test in the future.

  The sooner these problems are resolved, the better.

"...The Niu Ma Brick Factory, which has never paid dividends, has finally paid dividends, and No. 81 Iron and Steel Factory has also paid dividends. Part of the silver coins deposited on the account flowed out of the game, and some went to other players, but most of them went to the new alliance. The treasury. The problems of inflation and fiscal deficit are solved together.”

"New players can also get a better game experience. In addition to spending time on liver equipment, they can also take shortcuts when the price of silver coins falls. High-ranking players solve life problems and can devote more energy to the game. to the game."

   "Although the cloud players are still not qualified for the beta test, they also have the opportunity to indirectly participate in the game."

   "This time it should be considered... forget it, forget it." Chu Guang counted for a while with his fingers, and finally gave up.

   I can't count how many times I won.

   In short, it is a win-win situation.

   "But master... why would those people who obviously can't enter the game buy game coins?" Xiao Qi was confused.

   This kind of confusion is the same as it faces those snails who "are obviously weak but insist on coming over to test it with tentacles".

   Zi took a sip of the cold drink, and Chu Guang, who was sitting on the sofa, replied casually.

"Everyone has their own reasons. Some people spend money to buy lessons, and some spend money to buy dreams. What we need to do is not to control which leg the players run first, which hand to wipe their ass, but to ensure that most athletes run on the track and clear offending competitors from the track."

   Those who can qualify for the game are adults, and adults should be responsible for their actions. He is a manager, not a nanny.

  A small player spent 200,000 yuan to scan 20,000 silver coins, and the transaction with the largest denomination was to buy 800 silver coins for 40,000 yuan.

   If she spends all of it on ramen noodles, it will definitely be a blood loss.

   But what if we buy nutritional cream and transport it to the plantations in the south, or replace it with weapons and transport it to Honghe Town?

  Twenty thousand silver coins are far more than twenty thousand.

   "The price of silver coins seems to have dropped."

   "It's normal, it means that the New Year's red envelopes are almost finished, and they should go online to move bricks." Chu Guang stretched and stood up from the sofa.

  Xiao Qi asked curiously: "But if the price of silver coins keeps falling, will anyone buy them?"

  Chu Guang said easily.

"Prices will move towards consistency in disagreement, and divergence in consistency. The increase in trading volume is the beginning of the reversal, and the shrinking is the end of the trend. Whether 1 silver coin is exchanged for 100 yuan or 100 silver is exchanged for 1 yuan, that thing is for us It’s all just numbers.”

"If it really reaches the point where the market needs to be rescued, it is too easy to let it go up. I will directly list a full set of solid hydrogen technology on the official website, the kind of ten 'study abroad' places that include education packages, priced at 100 million silver coins, you Guess how much the silver coin is worth?"

   "Think about how much garbage we picked up and steamed buns for the Pioneer for the "Magnetic Confinement Plasma Cutting Machine". Now let's look back and see if the deal is worth it."

   "You can't just look at the surface of the problem."

  —

   (Thanks to the leader of "Er Curry" for the reward!)
