This Game is Too Real

Chapter 535: Different styles of madness

  Chapter 535 Each has its own advantages and disadvantages

"Dear listeners and friends, I am your dearest Mr. House! It finally snowed today, praise the first snow of this year, don't you think it looks like a dancing girl? Although this year is a warm winter, you can enjoy the snow Don’t forget to wear more clothes when you are in the audience, and sincerely wish the audience and friends good health.”

"In addition, for the sake of everyone's health and keeping away from diabetes and obesity, Weijia Commercial's Haowei Food Processing Factory has enriched the product range and launched an additional nutritional cream that is healthier, more nutritious, and better in taste. You will soon Saw it on the shelf—”

  The glib voice of the drake passed through the sparse crowds, echoed repeatedly on the street, and blew from the bustling neighborhood to the dilapidated, messy and crowded alleys.

  Sberger closed the repaired wooden window to prevent the wind and snow from leaking in, then took a breath and rubbed his frozen hands, and took out a warm letter from his arms.

   These days, he would go around the Alliance embassy every day.

  Although I didn't have much hope at first, I didn't expect that "Daily Survivor" really wrote back to him!

   Pulled out a clean white letter paper from a clean and tidy envelope, a chip slid out immediately, and fell on the table with a clang, startling Sberg.

   Especially when he saw the face value of the 100, his eyes almost bulged.

   One hundred chips!

  He worked **** the assembly line, only 120 chips a month!

   This month’s payment is still an IOU!

  The Alliance newspaper is so generous!

   Carefully hiding the chips in the drawer of the wooden table, Sberg swallowed excitedly, and impatiently unfolded the white letter paper.

  The handwriting on the letter was neat, completely different from his crooked words.

  Skipping the content of the text, Sberg quickly glanced at the name of the signing office, and found that the person who wrote the letter turned out to be the editor-in-chief of "Survivor Daily"!

  In an instant, his face was flushed, and his breathing became short of breath.

  【Dear Mr. Sberg, we have read Ni’s manuscript, and tried to recover the unfinished manuscript. We agree that this is indeed a wonderful story. It was broken at the right place, and you connected it just right, which is something the original author never imagined... He actually didn't know how to write it down, but you figured it out for him. 】

  【Considering space issues, we plan to follow your example and add some sub-issues to Survivor Daily, and publish Pohl’s story in the Worker’s Daily. The main issue only selects a short paragraph for publicity. And I think that's a really brilliant idea to get people to see more of what's happening that they care about. However, considering that our readers have not read the previous article, we plan to use 30 issues to serialize the first 30 chapters, and then publish the collection and update the follow-up part you wrote. 】

  【We regret that the former author of Boll’s story has gone to the province of sunset. He supports your continuation, but he doesn’t want to recall the past of Boulder City. Fortunately, Miss Dolly, who used to be a reporter for the Boulder Survivor Daily, is willing to serve as the editor of the book. You can communicate with her for the follow-up manuscript. 】

[The 100 chips attached to the letter are part of the advance payment for the manuscript. Logically speaking, we should pay you after the publication with reference to the sales volume and readers’ opinions, but we agree that it would be better to pay some money in advance, so that you can We won't have to write stories in old newspapers, and our collaboration will be more efficient. 】

【…By the way, our manager appreciates your work very much. He is very happy to say that if you come to Dawn City if you have time, please come and visit him. He can let you try on the power armor so that you can study how to Beat it hard, if it helps your writing. 】

  Sberger blushed.

  Big Horned Deer God, he never thought of defeating the alliance's power armor, let alone plotting against the managers!

   What's more, this is also the story of Boulder City. There is no alliance in the book at all, and there are only a few vague mentions of the survivors in the northern suburbs.

but…

  That generous invitation made his eyes heat up, and his eye sockets became red again and again.

  He knows himself very well, he is undoubtedly an inconspicuous little man, and even Kent, who works on an assembly line, dares to spit at him unscrupulously.

  However, the man who even the President of Malvern had to take seriously, read his text carefully, and even invited him to be a guest...

  He is a coward who is afraid of death and pain. If he can survive, he will never take a step out of Boulder City, let alone look directly at any wasteland.

   But if it's that man...

  He is even willing to die for him!

   Hastily brought an old newspaper, Sberg tore off the margins, grabbed a pen that frequently broke ink, and wrote seriously on it.

"The title is a misunderstanding! It's just because everyone in the Workers' Association is very curious about how the Awakened can defeat the power armor, so I simply wrote it as a gimmick in the title. In the final battle I imagined, it will Worn on an evil commander...no offense to any of you!"

"Thank you and that gentleman for your kindness and kindness, but I still have to read Ball's follow-up to everyone in the trade union. But when this winter is over, I will definitely save some travel expenses and go to your place ..."

   When writing this, Sberg paused, hesitated for a few seconds, and added a line later.

"...In addition, can you send a copy of your worker's newspaper in the reply letter? The fee will be deducted from my next payment. Everyone in the labor union also wants to review the previous stories. There are some old newspapers we sorted out. I really can’t make up a few, and recently workers from other factories have joined us, and I want to read to them some of what’s going on in the wasteland.”

  He carefully folded the note, stuffed it into the safest pocket of his clothes, then pushed away the chair and quickly ran out the door.

  But not long after, he ran back from the outside as if he had forgotten something, picked up the letter on the table and stuffed it into his pocket.

  He intends to send this letter back to everyone in the trade union.

  There are still people in this wasteland who care about them!

  Thinking of this, Sberg felt a burst of warmth in his heart.

  This winter may not be too cold...

  …

   Just as Sberg hurriedly left the leaky broken house and headed towards the Alliance embassy, ​​a merchant from the Alliance passed him by and went in the opposite direction to his usual work place.

  To be precise, it is next door to Haowei Food Processing Factory - Lida Wuxian Iron and Steel Factory.

   This steel factory is somewhat famous in Boulder City, but the owner's name is very popular, Fred. In order to make himself look less plain, he always wears a tall top hat and a gold-rimmed monocle on the bridge of his nose, although he hardly reads and is not nearsighted at all.

On weekdays, he would not stand at the gate of his factory, as the dirty things coming out of the chimney would stain his leather shoes. His office is on a street a little closer to the inner city, where the streets are more tidy and people’s Conversation is also more decent.

  But today is an exception.

  Guests from the Alliance took a fancy to his dusty machines.

   Not to mention the dust on the shoes, as long as the equipment worth tens of millions of chips can be sold, even if he is allowed to lick that distinguished guest's shoes.

   "Haha, welcome! Friends from the Alliance." Seeing the distinguished guests appearing at the door, Fred's face was full of smiles.

  Sun Shiqi stepped forward, shook his hand vigorously, and said with a smile.

"Nice to meet you!"

The   Alliance recently wants to build a batch of apartment buildings using reinforced concrete prefabricated panels. It is said that they can quickly build a building like building blocks.

  Before Liming City produced a batch of iron houses, but that kind of prefabricated house is only suitable for summer, and it may be used as a freezer in the cold winter.

  He is not interested in what the Alliance built those houses for, but he is still quite interested in the generous project funds.

  Especially the alliance's series of financial plans, let him see an extremely broad market prospect.

  So he planned to increase the output of the iron and steel plant. He happened to hear that a boss in Boulder City was selling equipment, so he came to have a look.

  Fred patted his arm enthusiastically and made a gesture of invitation, just like treating an old friend whom he hasn't seen for many years.

   "...I am the same, nice to meet you! Haha, to be honest, I like making friends with people in the Alliance the most. It is always a pleasure to do business with you... But here is gray, let's go into the room and talk."

  Sun Shiqi smiled and nodded.

   "You're welcome, please take me to the factory first... I want to visit your equipment, so that I can give a reasonable quotation."

   "No problem!" Fred nodded happily, and led him to the largest and only working building in the steel plant.

  Sun Shiqi was quietly observing along the way.

   This steel factory named Li Da Wu Wu is really large in scale, and the building is also very stylish, forming a sharp contrast with the dirty and messy residential area next door.

  The tall chimney almost passed through the top of the huge wall, blowing a large amount of haze to the outside of the huge wall, and slowly blending into the wriggling gray-green spore cloud in the second ring road. The wide factory building is like a giant's house. It uses a big and generous hand to block the chaotic overlooking. The towering furnace and hot molten iron make Sun Shiqi unable to move his eyes.

  He felt like a mouse who had never seen the world, accidentally fell into the giant's kitchen.

  Whether it’s those skilled workers, or those giant machines with superb craftsmanship, even the wrenches and files that are randomly thrown in wooden boxes and covered with pulp are all priceless treasures in his eyes.

  Are those noble gentlemen pigs?

  They have the heart to starve the very least of them.

   But thinking that he would soon become the owner of this place, at least part of the equipment, Sun Shiqi couldn't help breathing quickly.

   Praise the noble lord!

  The crystallization of the sweat and wisdom of countless generations of survivors, now only sells 50 million chips!

   And the price is negotiable!

Of course he can't come up with 50 million chips, but as long as he uses his factory in the alliance as collateral and has a written transaction contract, the bank of the alliance can lend him the purchase price... and the most ironic thing is that this money In fact, the nobles of Boulder City lent it to the alliance at an interest rate of less than 5%.

  Did not write that greedy gaze on his face, Sun Shiqi simply nodded.

   "It's not bad...it's just too hot, let's go out for a walk."

  Fred said politely.

   "No problem! Actually, if you didn't want to see it, I wouldn't even bring you here... This is not the place for us people to come."

   As he spoke, he led the boss out, while introducing the business of his own steel factory with eloquence, describing the broad prospects of the industry that he himself did not believe.

   And it was only at this time that Sun Shiqi found out that the Lidawu Steel Factory was actually one of the suppliers of Jushi Military Industry!

  Before the alliance’s expedition began, this steel factory mainly supplied steel bulletproof linings for exoskeletons and structural components for some large-scale equipment for the Jushi military industry.

  After the alliance's war machine was launched, his number one customer became the alliance's construction company, earning a lot of money by exporting rebar.

   Logically speaking, the alliance approved a series of infrastructure plans, and his business should be more prosperous, but the situation is completely opposite.

  The alliance's infrastructure plan was formulated to help the alliance's steel industry transform from military industry to civilian use. The new infrastructure plan clearly stated in the bidding that priority should be given to enterprises using local building materials when the cost difference is not large.

  In fact, even without this regulation, it would be very difficult for Lida Infinity Steel Works to participate.

   And there is no other reason, just the word cost!

   Due to higher and higher inflation, they have no cost advantage anymore!

  The Union Bank is very cunning. They refuse to touch the obviously outdated exchange rate, insisting that 2 silver coins be exchanged for 1 chip that is "actually only worth 0.5~0.2 silver coins".

  Of course they have the right to decide how much silver coins they sell for their chips, but this exchange rate is obviously an act of deceiving fools, and as we all know, bullying fools is immoral.

   To put it bluntly, because the cost of industrial products denominated in chips is lower, and the exchange rate inversion is not so obvious, most of the things that the alliance cannot produce will be imported from Boulder City.

  But now due to the rising prices of raw materials priced in chips, the prices of industrial products in Boulder City have to follow suit, so the profits from imports have gradually been diluted.

  If the thing produced in Boulder City is a key part that the Alliance cannot produce, then the Alliance is undoubtedly digging its own grave.

   But sadly at least the rebar used to hold the cement isn't that kind of thing.

  In the past, the steel production capacity of the alliance was used on the armor and tracks of tanks. Now that the battle is over, those people have freed up their hands.

   This account will naturally have to be recalculated...

  Taking Sun Shiqi outside, Fred respectfully took out a cigarette and lit it for him, then looked at the bustling factory area and said.

  “The economy here has picked up recently, and life is getting better and better.”

  Sun Shiqi casually picked up what he said.

   "How can you tell?"

   "Business is the best indicator," Fred continued with a smile on his face. "As long as those slackers are busy, life will be better."

   "Busy but poor, this is actually not a good sign." Sun Shiqi squinted his eyes, looked at the poor ghosts soaked in the smoke, and rarely said a word of conscience, "I don't think they have much oil and water."

"Because there is no oil and water, they will work harder," Fred said with a smile, standing shoulder to shoulder with the boss from the league, "and you can't always stare at those poor people." Ghosts, you can only feel the prosperity of this settlement when you walk on the street at night."

   "Like the street from the Queen of the Night bar?"

"It's not just there," Fred twirled in the air with a cigarette butt, "the circle around the inner city is... My friend, you can't just wander around the industrial area at night, can you? There are only pickers here. Poor people with cigarette butts, and crazy people who drink bad wine."

  Even if he brought bodyguards, he didn't dare to go into the alley, God knows what's dirty in it.

  Sun Shiqi gave him a strange look.

   "But since it's about to recover, why are you in a hurry to get rid of it?"

  Fred coughed and laughed.

   "It's not easy to set up a factory here. I used to be able to earn some money, but now... isn't there an easier and better way?"

"for example?"

   "Whether it's bonds or S coins, there are too many good things to invest in, and they won't get your shoes dirty," Fred said with a smile, "There are even more opportunities to make a fortune here than people!"

   There is a sentence that he didn't tell the client.

  The reason why he reduced the weight of assets is not only because there are better investment channels, but also a series of reasons including rising raw material prices.

  He can't see the overall situation of the alliance, but it is obvious that iron ore and copper ore, which are priced with chips, are getting more and more expensive. Instead of processing it into finished products, it is better to store it in the warehouse and sell it to other idiots who set up factories next month.

  But now there are too many smart ones and not enough stupid ones. More and more people find that they can get stuck with this "BUG".

  Recently, he even heard that even Wei Jia, who sells food, has a warehouse full of copper ore... What does this guy want to do?

  Fred vaguely felt that something was wrong. Although he couldn't see what went wrong, he suddenly found that he couldn't find anyone who lost money in the big casino in Boulder City.

   This is the scariest thing.

  So he immediately decided to settle down.

   You play, but I don’t want to play anymore!

   Just when Fred was thinking about it, Sun Shiqi also had mixed feelings in his heart.

  It is not the first time he has come to this place. When he was doing business in Honghe Town, the grocery market in Boulder City was the place he visited most often.

   To say that it is depressed is to underestimate this place.

   Most of the survivor settlements on the wasteland have only two or three hundred households, which is the result of a large number of high-tech products left before the war.

  Having a permanent population of 500,000 people in the wasteland means self-evidently.

   Especially Boulder City does not have a farmland or a mine, and all raw materials are obtained through trade.

   Its industrialization rate and industrial profits are actually quite amazing.

  Just because there are no competitors and lack of motivation for industrial upgrading, some weird situations will appear here.

  For example, a nutrient cream processing factory obviously uses the most advanced filters equipped with polymer ultrafiltration membranes, but the assembly line in the assembly process relies on manpower.

  Sun Shiqi doesn’t know what these people think, but it’s probably just like they don’t understand themselves—why they have to choose the most stupid-looking method when there are cheaper methods.

  However, he now understands a little bit about the manager who made him feel scared.

   Some costs are invisible.

   This is like a war without smoke.

  If the alliance takes a wrong key step in a certain link, maybe the person with a flattering smile and selling the means of production in his hand is himself.

he knows.

  Essentially, I and this Mr. Fred are actually the same kind of people. After all, when the Alliance was shorting the copper mine, he abandoned Honghe Town without hesitation.

   "...Fifty million chips is a reasonable price. If you are satisfied, we can sign the contract in two days, and I will be responsible for arranging people to transport the things away."

  Although it might be cheaper to wait, Sun Shiqi is worried that other companies in the alliance, like himself, are eyeing this high-quality asset.

  As soon as Fred heard this, he immediately made a decision.

   "No problem! Boss Sun is a cheerful person... However, I have recently taken a fancy to an investment project in Dawn City. Can part of the money be paid with silver coins?"

  Unexpectedly, Sun Shiqi froze for the second half of his sentence, put away the smile he just showed, and asked with a frown.

"What's the meaning."

"Hey, it's literally," Fred pulled the big-spending boss aside, lowered his voice, and said slowly, "For example, on the book...you give me 40 million chips. This price is a bit cheaper, but It is definitely not a cheap sale. And the remaining 10 million chips, converted into 10 million silver coins, you can transfer to my account in the alliance or give me cash!"

  Hearing this sentence, Sun Shiqi suddenly came back to his senses, and looked at Fred twice in surprise.

   Good guy.

   Is this trying to cheat your own shareholders? !

  As a law-abiding citizen of the alliance, he certainly has no interest in complaining for the shareholders of Boulder City, but the proposal of exchanging the ten million chips for ten million silver coins made him frown.

   "Ten million chips are not worth ten million silver coins. I can't accept this offer."

  Fred was not in a hurry, but was delighted.

   Unacceptable is just an offer.

   In other words, this matter can be discussed!

  He immediately made a flattering smile and said courteously.

   "It's okay, we can talk... How much can you accept?"

  Sun Shiqi raised an index finger.

"one million."

"One million?!" Fred's eyes widened, and he almost lost control of his voice, "No! It's too little! Your official exchange rate is 1:2, so I'll give you a 1:1 discount. Already!"

   Seeing this guy's poor acting skills, Sun Shiqi coughed lightly.

   "Don't pretend to be stupid, that thing... Do you believe it yourself?"

  Fred blushed, gritted his teeth, and gestured with five fingers.

   "Five...five million, no! Three million! How about two million silver coins? It can't be less! Even if it's a black market, it's only 1:5!"

   This is true.

  Looking at the only two remaining fingers and the bitter melon-like face, Sun Shiqi finally couldn't resist the temptation and nodded slowly.

"OK."

  After all, he doesn't want to make his company's debt too high, and borrowing money from the Union Bank is not without cost.

   It's just that the two million silver coins can't be transferred to the public account. They have to be withdrawn from their own savings, and they can't find a bank to borrow, which still makes Sun Shiqi feel a little heartbroken.

  The purchasing power of silver coins is much stronger than chips!

   Seeing the boss from the alliance nod, Fred finally showed a happy smile on his face, and immediately reached out and hooked his shoulder.

   "Thank you for your understanding! We may have a lot of opportunities to cooperate in the future... Let's have dinner together at night. I heard that the nightlife in the alliance only includes beer and fireworks."

   "In fact, we don't set off fireworks every day, and it's not just beer." Sun Shiqi retorted subconsciously.

  He regarded himself as a member of the alliance a long time ago, and naturally he did not allow others to arrange them indiscriminately.

"I know, but you definitely don't have that," Fred smiled, and gave him a look that any man could understand, "In the Queen of the Night bar, most people can only stand under the stage to watch, but as long as there is a bargaining chip , you can invite the dancer into the box and perform only for you. I just have a black card here, which can take you into the VIP box that ordinary rich people can't get in. You can never imagine the fun inside. "

  Sun Shiqi instantly understood what he meant, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his face.

   "Is it really just a show?"

  Seeing the interested expression of the client, Fred laughed and said.

   "Of course! And there are so many shows! You are the boss from the league, and the girls there will love you! If you tip with silver coins, they will love you to death!"

  Sun Shiqi teased.

   "I thought they'd call me a redneck."

  Fred waved his hand.

   "That was a long time ago. There are only things you can't think of here, and there is nothing you can't buy."

  Sun Shiqi wanted to refuse.

   But the legs wouldn't listen to him.

  He admits that he is different from those shelter residents, he is a vulgar person, so he will probably never become a shelter resident in his life, and it is no wonder that reserved girl never wants to open her heart to him.

   It would be nice if the alliance could be a little more free.

   It is best to be as free as Boulder City, as long as you have chips, you can do whatever you want.

  But it is presumed that Vault 404 will not agree, and their managers will definitely not agree.

   After all, that person said categorically that all goods can be purchased with the currency of the alliance, but any currency will never allow the exchange of honor and dignity.

but…

   This is actually not bad.

   No matter how playful people are, they will not like to bring bad things home. The wasteland is so big, it's too easy to find a shithole.

  Seeing Fred's ingratiating smile, Sun Shiqi couldn't help but twitch a smile.

  Since this master has kindly invited you.

   Then before this giant whale falls into the bottom of the sea, enjoy its fat flesh and blood...

  …

   It is not just the Lida Infinity Steel Plant that is "promoting". The first batch of chips-denominated bonds issued by the Alliance reached a scale of 3 billion, and then opened up the sales channel of the Boulder City Bank.

  The bubble squeezed out by financial tools is like a collapsing torrent, rushing towards the factory owners in Boulder City.

   This is a "wave" more terrifying than a wave.

High-quality production materials are labeled with bad labels, and the things that were originally delicious have become **** that people can't avoid - because there are more delicious things in front of everyone, but the bitterness after sweetness is not So easy to spot.

  In this feast in the name of prosperity, some people cried, while others laughed wildly... For example, Sid, there is no doubt that it is the latter.

  He can be said to be the biggest winner of this game. He cashed out early with the chips and left the field. Naturally, he was the one with the happiest smile.

   It's just that when he saw the trading price of bonds in the secondary market rising all the way, his smiling face gradually collapsed.

   Staring at the palm-sized transaction device, Sid bit his thumbnail and suddenly cursed.

   "Tsk... it's cheap Vijay!"

  Seeing her husband's displeasure, Bonnie sat beside him, looked at him with concern and asked.

   "What's up honey... is something wrong?"

"It's nothing, my dear." Sid gave his wife a gentle smile, and Sid's face regained its former elegance. Give me twenty million."

  Although she had no idea about money, Bonnie couldn't help but scold him.

   "You... You have to let Wei Jia earn some money, otherwise, how can he work hard to help our family make money? Don't ask him for the 20 million. It's shameful to ask for money."

   "You're right, my dear... I'm greedy." Sid rolled his eyes, thinking that his wife was right.

  He almost forgot the precepts of his ancestors.

  Greedy hyenas will choke to death on their bones, and a win-win deal can last for a long time. After the owner finished eating the meat, he had to give the dog a bone.

  Wei Jia, he is an old dog, and he deserves to make some money.

   But looking at the up and down line, Sid still couldn't help itching, and wanted to buy back a little... After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this up and down line is generally rising.

  As long as the interest rate is not equal to the redemption interest rate, there is room for arbitrage.

  Bonnie went to get dressed. In the afternoon, she and her sisters went to a boutique beauty salon in the inner city to maintain their skin. Sid was not interested in that kind of thing, and was staring intently at the palm-sized monitor.

  Although the more he looked at it, the more uncomfortable he was, but he was still curious about how the bond would rise.

   At this time, his youngest son, Kumit, came back from the outside, and when he saw the transaction device in his hand, he sneered.

   "You are boring."

   Sid glanced at the dog.

   "You **** knows what a fart!"

  Kumit sat next to his father with a playful smile, and he couldn't wait to take out the little ink in his stomach to show off.

"I heard my buddy Kixiu talk about bonds. This is not a rare thing. A ten-year bond with a face value of 100, even if it rises to the sky, is only 140 chips, right? It can't be more than ten years of interest and principal. Is it more expensive than that?"

   There is nothing wrong with this statement without considering the transaction premium generated by the tax avoidance value.

   Sid glanced at his son in surprise.

   "Hey...you know quite a lot, Kid, did you know that Kixiu told you?"

  The original maximum is 140.

  The puzzle was revealed, and he instantly lost interest in the trader on his hand.

   Kumit cocked his nose proudly.

   "Of course! As I said, my buddy has learned something, and he plans to do something big when he comes back this time!"

  Kixiu had described the huge blueprint for him, and the issuance of S coins was just to raise funds for that blueprint, and the results of that blueprint would be fulfilled in all returns, and Boulder City would also move towards greater prosperity.

   Sid laughed and pouted.

  He heard from Melvin that he gave the boy in the family a good beating, and ran back just because of that Kixiu without saying hello, and said a bunch of stupid things.

   As a place for vacation and relaxation, Ideal City is really good.

   But turning Boulder City into that kind of place, he never thought about it for a second.

   "Big business, what a big business?"

   Kumit said proudly.

   "He plans to build another outer city in the outer city!"

   "Pfft ha ha ha!" Sid almost burst into tears from laughing, and continued to tease, "Then what? Is there any use?"

"Then we will issue a new currency in the outer city, a currency that everyone can benefit from! Just like the ideal city, it is something similar to Cr," Kumit said complacently, "in order to achieve this Goal, he specially built an algorithm framework with the technology of Ideal City, and made transaction contracts and electronic certificates, the value-added of this currency is completely controllable, and any messy copper rises and shrinks can be solved!"

   Sid curled his lips in disdain.

   New currency?

   This is not funny!

  The reason why a chip can become a chip is that the power of the entire inner city endorses it, and a few brats dare to say that they will issue new chips.

   What if this is a joke?

  Sid doesn’t really care too much about it. Playing house games is always safer than killing people and setting fire to them. It’s okay not to find something for these brats and let them mess around outside.

  However, Kumit's next sentence almost prevented him from choking to death with saliva.

   "...The 100,000 S coins I hold now are already worth five million chips!"

   "Cough—!"

   Coughing violently, Sid stood up and stared at his son, "Five million? You **** son! Tell me clearly, where did you get five million!"

  He remembers it very clearly, last time he only gave this kid two million!

   What he hates the most is stealing money!

   Especially steal money from home!

  Seeing his father's ferocious expression, Kumit shrank his neck in fright, and quickly explained.

   "Yes, I earned it myself! Look!"

   As he spoke, he quickly took out the transaction device and handed it to his father who had misunderstood him.

   Sid took the trader, took a look and was stunned, his brows twisted into hemp ropes.

   "What the **** is this?"

   This line...

  Why does it look familiar?

  However, the up and down fluctuations are too exaggerated. Although the overall rise is also upward, it is frightening.

   "S coins." Kumit confessed honestly.

"What?"

"It's the credit currency I was talking about," Kumit swallowed when he saw his father's bewildered face, and quickly explained, "In the past, one chip could be exchanged for one S coin, but now it's 1:50 by us. ... 100,000 S coins, isn't that five million?"

   Sid was even more confused after hearing this.

   He can understand if the price of silver coins goes up one day, but why does the S coin go up?

   And one S coin can be exchanged for 50 chips...

  However, what is in front of us is the truth.

   And this increase is also quite interesting.

  The 100 face value of the chip will rise to 140, but there is no upper limit for the increase of the S coin. Isn't it just pulling up at will?

   No wonder his son looks down on the toy in his hand... With the increase of this S coin, isn’t the "stable as an old dog" bond a toy?

   Sid touched his chin, pondered in his heart, and said something casually, intentionally or unintentionally.

   "Then the trading contract and what algorithm certificate... Forget it, I don't understand you young people, just tell me, how does this work?"

   "As long as you have an account in Boulder City Bank, you can buy it with just a flick of your finger..." Kumit looked at his father carefully, observing his expression, "Dad? Do you want to play?"

  If his dad would join them, the plate could be bigger.

  Ki Xiu tried to convince his father, President Malvern, but unfortunately he was locked up in a dark room again.

   "...It can only be said that this thing is a bit interesting."

  Sid is embarrassed to say that he is moved. After all, it is unseemly to make money in the inner city. Even if he wants to buy it, he can't do it in front of his family.

  Kumit didn’t care about being decent or not. Seeing that his father was moved, he immediately jumped up from the sofa and said with a smile.

   "Dad! It's easy to say! Didn't I borrow two million from you at the beginning? There is a loan and I will pay you back... How about 40,000 S coins? You can play with it, and you can withdraw cash at any time, and it will arrive in seconds!"

  Sid became unhappy when he heard this, and slapped the dog son on the back of the head.

   "What is borrowed and repaid, did you say this to your father?"

  Looking at his aggrieved son, he didn't want to discourage his son's enthusiasm for doing business, so he said in a moderate tone.

   "You go to the butler and get...five million chips, just treat it as a practice."

   Hearing that his father supported his career so much, Kumit was immediately excited.

  He climbed off the sofa and looked at Dad solemnly.

   "Dad! I won't say anything about it... I will definitely live up to your expectations! I will definitely turn this five million chips into ten million—no, I will bring back one hundred million!"

   Looking at the grateful son, Sid nodded approvingly.

good.

   As expected of his own species.

  This high-spirited young man looks a little like he did when he was young.

   "It's promising."

   Standing up and patting Kumit on the shoulder, Sid said earnestly.

   "Go ahead and do it, your father will always be your backing."

   Kumit clenched his fists excitedly.

   "Thanks, Dad!"

  Manly spit a nail.

  Although he knew that his father didn't like the little money, Kumit forced a new transaction device for him, and then transferred 40,000 S coins to his account in front of his face.

"There is a one-to-one correspondence between the trader and the account number, and the key is stored in it. You must protect it well. It is very troublesome to find it if you lose it! Also, when you sell, you have to control the quantity, and don't hang too much at a time. If you sell more than 1,000 pieces, you must discuss with me!" Kumit said, staring at his father seriously.

   Seeing his son's mother-in-law's instructions, Sid waved impatiently.

   "Okay, got it, don't bother me with this little money."

   Throwing his son out of the house.

   Sid stared at the trader for a while, and finally couldn't help itching in his heart. He called the maid who had been serving his wife to comb her hair before, and threw the trader into her hand.

  The young and beautiful maid looked at Sid tremblingly, and asked cautiously.

   "...Master? What do you want?"

   "Enter your bank card number." Sid said in an orderly tone.

  The maid didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately complied. Then, under Sid's order, she pressed a 100 to enter and clicked the sell button.

  The maid looked at Sid blankly, not knowing what happened.

   "Sir?"

   Sid waited for a while, then continued patiently.

   "Use your home phone to call Malvern's secretary to check the amount on your card, and tell you that I asked you to check."

  Although the maid was confused, she went to the next room as usual. After a while, there was an exclamation from inside, and then the phone dropped to the ground with a bang.

  Hearing the voice, Sid immediately stood up, walked in quickly, and saw the maid lying on the ground hastily picked up the phone.

   He already guessed something from the expression on her face, but he still wanted to hear her say it himself, so he asked excitedly.

   "How is it? How much is the extra card?"

  The maid said with trembling lips.

   "...five thousand."

  Five thousand chips!

  Forty or fifty workers work for a month to earn this money.

  She didn't understand why the master suddenly rewarded herself with so much money, and now she didn't know what to do.

  Sid's eyes sparkled with excitement.

   It can really withdraw cash!

   That son of a dog is really promising!

  Money is the best stimulant, and he, who was not **** at first, suddenly fell on the maid in front of him.

  There was a touch of distorted kindness on that sullen face.

   "That's my reward for you, you just take the flowers, I won't take them away."

  The maid let out a sigh of relief, with a bright smile on her face.

   "Thank you, sir..."

   Sid nodded with satisfaction.

   "Speaking of which, don't you have a boyfriend? I see you often write letters to him."

  That bright smile raised a little tension.

"yes…"

   Casually put his hands on her waist, Sid said in a chatty tone while admiring the young and beautiful face.

"That young man is pretty good. I am very optimistic about the future of the Boulder City Bank. Malvern is also an old friend of mine. I will let him take care of him... Haha, it's getting too far, but speaking of it, you are all grown up, and Time to think about having a wedding? Or just use the money."

  He liked her reaction.

  Usually only newcomers will show such an expression. After a long time, it will be no different from those rouge vulgar fans outside, no matter how beautiful it is, it will be the same.

  He’s not that brat like Kumit, he’s already passed the age where he’s not taboo about meat and vegetables, and he needs a little stimulation to react.

  The maid bit her lips lightly, her face paled slightly, and her last restraint made her speak in a pleading voice.

   "...this is the lady's room."

   But she didn't expect it.

   Instead of driving the jackal away, this match set the firewood stack on fire.

   Sid gave a grin, and closed the door vigorously.

   "That's not good!"
