Cow and horse group.
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. Most people just clicked on the reservation and watched the fun.
"Hahaha! I just saw a fool hanging 5 silver coins for 1 yuan, and it was gone in an instant."
"Fuck! I didn't pick it up!"
"Awesome! Just now I saw a big guy hanging 800 silver coins! 40,000 yuan was sold!"
"Fuck!"
"@dog management, did you do it!"
The newbies definitely can't come up with so much money.
Although they have never entered the game, they often see the dog managers bragging, so they are more familiar with the situation in the game.
No one came out to claim the transaction.
The chat was quickly wiped out.
However, as they chatted, the management still appeared.
Ye Shi: "Brothers..."
Quit Smoking: "What's wrong?"
Ye Shi: "I want to play professionally."
Quit Smoking: "?"
Lao Bai: "..."
Kuang Feng: "..."
Fang Chang: "Slant eyes."
Ye Shi: "Fuck! What's your reaction? I am... the highest level perception system in the whole server. Is it strange to play professionally?"
Fang Chang: "No, I just want to ask, which 'amateur player' is online for an average of 12 hours a day. (Slant eyes)"
Quit Smoking: "Hahaha, I want to complain too. If this is not considered a professional, then what is a professional?"
WC Zhenyou Mosquito: "Very good! Very energetic! Come and fly a plane with me, it's so cool! (Grinning teeth)"
Ye Shi: Roll, roll, roll!"
④Who knows: "Hey, I'm so excited... Earning 100 silver coins a day means 5,000 a day, right? Damn! I should have filled out the form with you guys!"
Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes: "This price fluctuation is really a bit outrageous. Do you think someone will use this to launder money?"
Fang Chang: "Emmm... I don't know if it can be done with a keyboard, but in reality, money laundering requires three conditions to be met 'simultaneously' - difficult to track, large trading volume, and high control by the banker. Obviously, "Wasteland OL" does not meet these three conditions. "
The platform itself does not provide payment tools. Money laundering is not about exchanging US dollars for Zimbabwean dollars, but about turning illegal income into legal income. The anonymity of "Wasteland OL" is for the players. A uses the bank system to transfer money to B to buy game equipment. This is a hammer for banks.
As for the trading volume, let alone, the total trading volume of less than a few million silver coins has a turnover rate of nearly 200%. Not to mention how much can be laundered, even if the facts are put aside, which fool would use someone else's plate to launder money?
Before the Fed releases water, it has to blow the wind and see. The operator's "smashing the plate" is just a matter of moving a finger to adjust the data. Give you 100 million silver coins, and then use "abnormal transactions" to lock the account, and you can play single-player games with numbers.
Washing and washing really go to wash dishes.
Using game equipment to launder money is more magical than using US stocks to launder money. After all, the trading volume is large enough, and the overseas investment income can really be made legal through certain operations.
Game coins are the medium of transaction in the game, but outside the game they are "game equipment". The issuance volume 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 game equipment, and tomorrow this million US dollars may only be worth one hundred US dollars.
Unless the operator cooperates with you.
But think about it a little bit. Why should they cooperate with you in washing dishes when they have a gold mine with over one million people booking for the B round?
Obviously, the helmets can be delivered to players and the official website can be accessed normally until now. Even if there is no written permission from the official organization, it has at least been tacitly approved to a certain extent.
But Brother Chaodan is a chef after all. It is normal that his thinking is a little narrow. Most people only know how to write the word money laundering. Who really wants to understand the specific operation process of this thing?
Fang Chang: "This Beta0.2 is actually very interesting. The official did not directly set the price of silver coins, but allowed players to consign freely. Even the handling fee was charged in silver coins. It is obvious that the operator of "Wasteland OL" did not intend to make money from this platform. Many of you must have got the wool, but I don't know if you have ever thought about the official's motive for doing so."
Ye Wei blushed while holding the phone.
To be honest, he really didn't think about these things.
"What is it..."
Fang Chang: "The original intention of the establishment of the Nasdaq Stock Exchange was to regulate the chaotic over-the-counter 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 made it public. When the number of players increases, someone will definitely set up a trading platform like IGXE outside the forum. Now it is equivalent to the official itself to build this 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 allows round A players to cash in part of the game income. Although it sounds a bit strange, it is indeed the game company that is giving us red envelopes."
And the amount of the red envelope is not small.
As long as I don't have a problem with my brain and hang up 100 silver coins for 10 cents, everyone made a little money when the trading platform was first launched.
Especially that Ya Ya.
One silver coin was exchanged for one bitcoin, and I don't know which idiot was the victim.
Ya Ya took the initiative to express his intention to pay it back, but I didn't see that person come out to claim it.
It can only be said to be charity.
WC is really full of mosquitoes: "Do you think there will be fools who sell their equipment for silver coins? (funny)"
Fang Chang: "Fools exist at all times, but there is a common sense here. Whether it is selling your own equipment or taking more conservative actions in the game, it will cause you to fall down 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. They will even write guides based on the clues we provide, and indirectly invest in the industry in the game through other players holding game assets on their behalf."
Not everyone in the Age of Exploration has actually been to the colonies. Most people may have only read a few lines in the newspaper, but it does not prevent a physics professor and mint director in London from holding shares in a colonial company.
The silver coin trading platform sets any form of assets.
In addition to real assets, of course, it also supports trading assets in the game. At the same time, the way to invest in the game world is not just silver coins, but also other things.
For example, technology.
Although the game is full of black technology, and the battery on the exoskeleton is 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, still has unlimited potential, and these are all potential markets.
Fang Chang: "The second trend is that it will be more difficult to maintain the level advantage than the Alpha version. Casual players can play as they please no matter what, but those who are willing to work hard will invest more silver coins in upgrading levels and combat power, especially the latest merchant system and legion system! These two systems will burn a lot of money, but the returns will also be huge!"
"The B round test will be a reshuffle, and the players in the A round will cash in part of their income based on their efforts in the A round. In the same way, the players in the B round will see the income of the players in the A round and will work harder to upgrade before the dividends in the C round."
"In a word, everyone can sell some idle silver coins to give newcomers some opportunities and game experience , and you can also improve your life 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 eliminated in round B, and your position will be replaced by new shareholders, and you will have nothing to do with the dividends in round C. "
"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 will pay attention to small private transfers, but if the amount is too large, it is best to consider the payment method. "
"And don't forget to pay taxes. "
Fang Chang said a lot of things earnestly, and Ye Wei always felt that half of them were said to him, especially the last sentence.
But he felt that this brother was a little too concerned.
He is not stupid, how could he exchange all the silver coins on his body for money.
Even farmers know to save seeds for spring plowing, not to mention that he has been playing games for so many years. His understanding of equipment trading rules and real-life cases is much better than that of some newbies who don't know anything and just analyze randomly.
Just when Ye Wei took out the banknotes and calculated how many silver coins to put on consignment, he suddenly noticed that someone in the small group had tagged him.
There were only four people in the small group. Fang Chang had just sent a lot of messages in the big group, and he came here to tag everyone.
Ye Wei was about 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 with Lao Bai. The Niuma Brick Factory has been operating for half a year, and we have never distributed dividends. Taking advantage of the launch of this trading platform, we can distribute a wave."
Dividends!
Ye Wei almost forgot about it.
Lao Bai is the director of the Niuma Brick Factory, but the four people hold shares equally, each holding 5% of the shares, which adds up to 20%.
Since the shelter holds 80% of the shares, dividends are actually a loss. If the silver coins earned are used to buy equipment and land, more labor can be hired to expand production, and they can make the pie bigger and bigger. Therefore, from the early version of the A round test to now, no silver coins have been distributed.
Thinking of the rewards given by the brick factory for completing the exclusive tasks, Ye Wei was instantly excited.
Fang Chang: "... The silver coins should be credited within two hours. Although I am optimistic about the long-term value of "Wasteland OL", the value of the second life cannot be measured by secular money, but in the short term, the price of silver coins will definitely fall in the shock."
"There are many people in the group, so I didn't say it too directly. It's not good to upload the screenshot to the forum, so I'll say a few more words here."
"Reserve funds for the development of the Burning Legion."
"Throw the rest."
...
The second day after the Beta0.2 version was launched.
After a busy day, Zhang Hai found that the game had changed as soon as he put on his helmet and lay down at night.
Originally, everyone came to his place to eat noodles as soon as they came online, but today they all went to buy the Didiwei nutritional paste and the green wheat cakes made by the residents of Beth Street.
A long queue formed at the door of the NPC store, and the head and tail of the queue could not be seen.
It was easy to guess what the reason was. Looking at the steaming pot and the empty tables and chairs, Zhang Hai couldn't help but sigh.
"People's hearts are no longer the same as they used to be!"
"These stingy guys! Is it that serious? Don't they have anything else in their eyes except money?"
An old customer who happened to pass by heard this complaint and couldn't help but spray it.
Ye Shi: "MMP! Do you have the nerve to do that!"
Yirena: "You're the most expensive one, okay!"
Elf King Fugui: "6 silver coins for a bowl of ramen! Why don't you go and rob it!"
Canyon Fleeing Mole: "That's right! Boss Crow has big breasts after all! And she speaks nicely! What do you have?"
Zhang Hai has a bad temper and a poisonous mouth, and he said something back on the spot.
"How do you know I'm not big? Want to try?"
Ye Shi: "Get lost!"
Quit smoking: "Ugh, ugh, ugh!"
The nutrient cream on his hand instantly lost its fragrance.
He watched as the customers were disgusted and left.
Zhang Hai then began to regret that customers are God and he shouldn't be quick-witted in the game.
"This is not a solution."
Seeing that no one came to buy and the white foam in the pot was boiling, Zhang Hai had no choice but to secretly change the price on the wooden board to 5 silver coins.
"Someone should buy it this time, right?"
However, things went against his wishes and there was no effect.
Zhang Hai could only wipe off the 5 he had just written with a dark face and write a 4 with gritted teeth.
100% profit!
What a big loss!
Zhang Hai's heart was bleeding.
However, perhaps thanks to the price reduction, or perhaps because the dog planner felt sorry for him, there were more NPC customers today.
Some people came to try the food after seeing the price cut, and some brought their children and wives to dine together. Finally, there were more faces besides players at his stall.
Looking at the curious and young face next to his parents, Boss Zhang finally didn't cut corners.
Because the price was more affordable than before, there were more customers in the evening, and he was so busy that he didn't even have time to rest.
But the NPC never urged him, after all, they didn't understand.
He worked until half an hour after dinner time, and then Zhang Hai had a break.
Although he was exhausted, he couldn't help but smile when he saw the NPCs wolfing down his noodles and the hard-earned silver coins in the drawer.
Maybe...
I should hire a clerk.
Open two more branches at the farm.
The version is changing.
He also has to make a little change.
Just as Zhang Hai was thinking about the future, there was a careless shouting at the door of the store.
"Old Zhang! Give me a bowl of noodles!"
"Get lost, I'm not old at all!" Zhang Hai didn't even look at him, his eyes glared at him, "Look at my face, I'm at most 20 years old!"
Sisi, who was standing next to him, pulled Wei.
"Awei, this is rude, and how do you know how old he is, what if he's your younger brother?"
Wei replied in a stern manner.
"Si, you don't understand this, which young person would use his real name as his online name, and which young person would be anxious when being called old?"
"I'm your father."
Zhang Hai laughed and put two bowls of noodles on the table.
Wei, who paid at the speed of light, sat down on the chair in a flash, and couldn't wait to pull out the chopsticks from the wooden barrel, but just as he was about to start eating, he shouted.
"Giao!! Why is there one less piece today!"
Zhang Hai said with a straight face.
"The price has been reduced, is it strange that the quantity is less?"
Wei said pitifully.
"But, but, why does Sisi have more bowl than me!"
"My hand slipped."
"Damn it! This evil capitalist!" After restraining his expression, Wei Ba sighed and shook his head, muttering, "Well, since this is the last bowl of noodles, Wei Ba won't bother with you."
Zhang Hai stopped cutting meat and glanced at the lively little girl.
"The last bowl? You don't want to play anymore?"
"How is it possible! It's only Beta 0.2!" Wei Ba smiled and said, "This game is getting more and more interesting, okay?"
Zhang Hai asked in confusion, "Then the last bowl of noodles is..."
"Wei Ba wants to open a mercenary union! The mercenary union needs funds, so Wei Ba decided to set up a trip with Si Si!" Wei Ba said with sparkling eyes, "There are also sesame paste and meat! We have an appointment to set off tomorrow!"
"Don't say unnecessary words."
Si Si gently taught Wei Ba a lesson with her little fist holding chopsticks, cleared her throat in the latter's "Ah" cry, and explained calmly.
"Anyway, it's the merchant system... This prodigal woman spent money to buy a bunch of useless numbers, I have to help her make it back."
Zhang Hai sighed earnestly: "You guys, you should be moderate... What's the point of spending money? Isn't it good to enjoy the fun of the game normally?"
The tail said unhappily.
"Retired old man, don't talk!"
"Which eye of yours saw that I retired!"
Zhang Hai rolled his eyes and threw two slices of freshly cut cooked beef into her bowl.
"Eat and get out!"
...
Three days have passed since the Beta0.2 version was launched, and it's not just the Niu Ma team that is selling silver coins.
How to sell?
Of course, everyone has their own way of selling.
Although there is no K-line chart for silver coin consignment, the historical transaction orders are open and transparent. Just adjust them up and down according to other people's prices. This is no different from the jewelry trading in CSgo.
If you don't like the trouble, you can directly mark a silver coin as one dollar and throw 10,000 or 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 place them at 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000... and wait for people to buy. How many transactions can be completed depends on luck.
Although this will be slower, it can maximize the profit.
With the emergence of a large number of sell orders, the price of silver coins finally began to gradually fall after the transaction volume hit a new high.
And all this happened under someone's nose.
"Haha, smart little rascal."
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 the show, smiled.
Brother Fang Chang probably played the US stock market, and he was very good at buying high and selling low during the day.
After the big order fell to the single digit, he secretly placed a small order to pick it up. After a few fluctuations, even the silver coins of his good brothers were sold together. I guess he is counting money now.
Some people also sent private messages to inquire about his background and wanted to have a straightforward talk with him.
Talk?
Talk about nothing.
What can be discussed between "Fallen Empire" and "Interstellar Natives".
The shelter is the last stubbornness of the Human Alliance after all. Chu Guang must have a problem with his brain to use such a helpless means as "showdown" to ask for cooperation when the other party can easily misunderstand him as an extraterrestrial civilization or other advanced existence.
What does dimensionality reduction strike in the information field mean?
Power outage? Internet disconnection?
That's child's play.
Xiaoqi can upgrade the version of the Earth in the parallel world with a sneeze, and the "second world" becomes the "only paradise", and the way to save the world is hidden in the game of advanced civilization. If these settings are physically added to the official website of the game, would you play such a game?
The five good people will rush to play it.
Not clicking on the "cross-border bill" does not mean that this option does not exist, but that there are more suitable options that are more in line with his moral standards.
If you work hard, you will get what you deserve. Chu Guang is a reasonable person. If you work for him, you can get paid from him.
This reward can be real money today, real status tomorrow, and even rise to the height of civilization in the future.
It is a legacy from a higher civilization.
The beneficiaries are more than just individuals.
So if you want to enter the game, just fill out the form honestly, apply for a "work visa" according to the rules he set, and abide by the local "laws and regulations".
The New Alliance is one of the successors of the Human Alliance after all. Does this manager have no face?
As for the fluctuations in the silver coin market, what does Chu Guang think?
Of course, he sits and watches.
Some people are willing to spend hundreds of thousands to buy a silver coin, and some people are willing to exchange hundreds of thousands of silver coins for one dollar. This has nothing to do with him. Which of these two things is not paper to him?
As long as the players are willing, of course, they can also put 10,000 silver coins on 1 dollar for charity, and everyone can make money within their own cognition. What's more, silver coins are not a currency that can be used to make a living in the real world, but a game prop.
As for whether it is worth it?
Is it worth exchanging a +999 dragon-slaying sword for a house? Is a few hundred thousand dollars of real estate in the metaverse worth it?
Let's talk about it in a big way. Which virtual thing is not waste paper?
At least silver coins can really buy land that can be freely built in Wasteland OL, not a paper model that deceives people.
If you think it is expensive, it means 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 its current scale is inseparable from the efforts of generations of players. Now that "Wasteland OL" has successfully operated to the Beta stage, Chu Guang will certainly give some benefits to those who have helped him.
And this is also the reward they deserve for their hard work.
However, Fang Chang only guessed half of this.
Chu Guang's original intention of developing this platform was indeed not to make money from the waste paper of the other world, but it was not just to distribute dividends to closed beta players and regulate over-the-counter transactions. There are two other deeper purposes.
One is to assign value to the pie drawn by "Wasteland OL", and the other is to redistribute the wealth in the game.
The former will make players more motivated to complete tasks and more actively participate in the legion system and merchant 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 under extremely low taxes and land rents.
Nothing else has such a high profit!
It can be sold so expensively, all because of the high-income players.
As the level increases, high-level players have too many silver coins, and they can't consume them all by buying equipment. Ordinary natives with a daily income of just over 10 silver coins can hardly consume the products "set by themselves" by players. After all, no matter how much their income grows, they will never outperform the "immortal" players.
The players themselves have formed a closed economic cycle. In fact, they are the nobles or knights of the new alliance. If there is no administrative intervention, the risk of exporting inflation to the NPC market of their own country will continue to accumulate.
How to release the risk?
Establishing an official silver coin trading channel and assigning value to silver coins is just the first card Chu Guang played.
The liquidity rolling in the closed loop 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, business or other places, entering a virtuous circle.
And those players who are joking and shouting "It's too expensive, I'll have 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 the price of their products is reasonable.
If the citizens of a country have no respect for their own currency, and the nobles have unimaginable wealth but do not use it where it should be used, the risks generated are far more than just inflation.
The new alliance already has more than a thousand players, and more people will be eligible for closed beta testing in the future.
The sooner these problems are solved, the better.
"...The Niuma Brick Factory, which had never paid dividends, finally paid dividends, and the No. 81 Steel Plant also paid dividends. Part of the silver coins deposited on the books flowed outside the game, part went to other players, but the vast majority went into the treasury of the new alliance. The problems of inflation and fiscal deficit were solved together."
"New players can also get a better gaming experience. In addition to spending time on equipment, they can also take shortcuts by spending money when the price of silver coins drops. Players at high levels have solved their life problems and can devote more energy to the game."
"Although cloud players still do not have the qualification for closed beta testing, they have also got the opportunity to participate in the game indirectly."
"This time it should be considered... forget it, forget it." Chu Guang counted on his fingers for a while, and finally gave up.
I can't count how many times I have won.
Anyway, it's a win-win situation.
"But master... why would those people who obviously can't enter the game buy game coins?" Xiaoqi was confused.
This confusion is the same as when it faces those snails who "are obviously weak but insist on coming over to test it with their tentacles."
Chu Guang, who was sitting on the sofa, sipped a cold drink and replied casually.
"Everyone has their own reasons. Some people spend money to learn lessons, and some people spend money to buy dreams. What we need to do is not to control which leg the players take when running first, or which hand they use to wipe their buttocks, but to ensure that most athletes run on the track and remove the illegal contestants from the track."
Those who can get the game qualifications are adults, and adults should be responsible for their own behavior. He is a manager, not a nanny.
A small player spent 200,000 to scan 20,000 silver coins. The largest transaction order was 40,000 yuan to buy 800 silver coins.
If she used all of it to buy ramen, it would definitely be a blood loss.
But what if she bought nutritional paste and shipped it to the plantation in the south, or exchanged it for weapons and shipped it to Honghe Town?
20,000 silver coins are far more than 20,000.
"The price of silver coins seems to have fallen."
"Normal, it means that the New Year's red envelopes are almost sent out, and they should go online to move bricks well." Chu Guang stretched and stood up from the sofa.
Xiao Qi asked curiously, "But if the price of silver coins keeps falling, will anyone still buy them?"
Chu Guang said easily.
"Prices will converge in divergence and diverge in convergence. The increase in trading volume is the beginning of a reversal, and the contraction is the end of a trend. Whether 1 silver coin is exchanged for 100 yuan, or 100 silver coins are exchanged for 1 yuan, they are just numbers to us."
"If it really reaches the point where the market needs to be rescued, it will be too easy to make it go up. I will directly post a full set of solid hydrogen technology on the official website, and ten "study abroad" quotas will be taught and mastered, and the price is 100 million silver coins. Guess how much the silver coins are worth?"
"Think about how much garbage we picked up and how many buns we steamed for the Pioneer in order to make the "magnetic confinement plasma cutting machine tool". Now look back and see if this deal is worth it."
"You can't just look at the surface when looking at a problem."
