Resource:......
Looking at the information panel, these scrolling transaction information, Zhou Ming, who was holding his chin with his fingers, fell into deep thought.
"Donghai City is an important material transit city, through ocean-going cargo ships, a large number of materials are transported every year, into the upper area, so the export economy is extremely developed, the purchase price, more than 28 million money......"
"Gangjing City has long been destroyed by the war, and now the population is less than 500,000, and it can't produce any benefits, so it was sold for more than one million dollars, which is completely expected......
"Yaoxing City turned out to be the city with the highest price among the 120 cities in District 52...... But this is also normal, this city, there are such corporate giants as Vitality Medical, Yuanyue Restaurant Group, etc., coupled with my wise governance, it has now become a city where every inch of land is valuable, and it is normal to sell more than 31 million dollars......"
Seeing this, Zhou Ming's face was slightly colorful, and he felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
However, no matter how expensive a single city is, it is not as expensive as a complete district, such as District 03, which has a population of more than 50 million, and its huge population, plus all kinds of resources on millions of square kilometers of land, is worth 36 million money, which is reasonable.
However, there are also some sparsely populated areas with few resources, which are sold very cheaply, such as Zhou Ming's hometown 51 underground mining area, which only sells for more than 2 million yuan, which is the cheapest among the 51 bottom areas.
On this resource transaction information panel, in addition to the 51 lower districts, as well as 120 cities in the 52nd district, and the paradise island in the upper area, in addition to the game city, nearly 400,000 square kilometers of land on the island have also been divided into 40 blocks, all of which can be purchased.
However, because Paradise Island does not produce resources, each of these 40 pieces of land is sold for more than 10 million yuan, and the life limit is 100 years.
In short, this information panel contains all the resources of the planet from the bottom area, to the civilian area, to the noble area.
Looking at the information on this panel, Zhou Ming secretly calculated and found that if he wanted to buy all the resources on it, it would probably cost 1.5 billion money.
Of course, the land on Paradise Island, because it does not produce resources, is a bit of a real estate development nature, even if it can make money, but the purchase is not too significant.
Therefore, excluding Paradise Island, the price of controlling this world is actually about 1 billion dollars.
1 billion money, can you control the world of money?
Zhou Ming shook his head, this is just an ideal situation, because of the existence of the price increase system, in the purchase process, there will definitely be a lot of costs to overcome resistance, resulting in expenses of far more than 1 billion dollars.
For example, when he was in Yaoxing City, Zhou Ming, who was the mayor of the market, in order to control the entire bureaucratic system, he paid far more than the cost of those power positions that could produce benefits themselves, a position that could generate 5,000 monetary benefits, under the price increase of competitors, you often had to pay a price of 8,000 or even 10,000.
Of course, most of those who raised the price were killed by the killers sent by Zhou Ming, and they didn't succeed, but what about the other cities? What about the other 119 cities?
Zhou Ming couldn't have all of them killing like this, that would definitely attract the strong intervention of the balancer.
Therefore, except for Yaoxing City, Zhou Ming gave up his plan to control the bureaucratic system of other cities, and the cost was too high, even if it could bring a lot of benefits.
In the same way, in the upper district, where killing a person is punished by ten times the net worth, the cost of killing has greatly increased, and secondly, there are more rich people in the upper district, and the average life expectancy is longer, and the accumulated wealth is more, so some price raisers, some of them have money, to stop Zhou Ming and achieve his goal.
It may cost 2 billion dollars, but it is not necessarily, and all the resources on this trading panel can be controlled.
Not to mention 2 billion, it is 1 billion money, and it is difficult for Zhou Ming to earn it.
Of course, it is difficult, but it does not mean that it is impossible.
Because in the upper zone, there are betting games and zero-sum games!
It can even be said that because of the existence of these two things, it provides a shortcut for anyone, a shortcut to success and having everything in a short life.
Betting games: can make you rich overnight.
Zero-sum game: allows you to take everything from others in a short period of time.
This process does not require a long accumulation, as long as you have superb gambling skills and a little luck.
And Zhou Ming also found that in the upper district, if he wants to realize his dream of breaking 1 billion money, it is basically impossible to take other roads except for gambling.
Because those resources on the resource trading panel, after buying, the profit effect is not obvious.
For example, Yaoxing City, the price is 31.2 million money/50 years, assuming that the city, through the city management system, can produce a benefit of 700,000 yuan a year, multiplied by 50 years, that is, 35 million money, and then deducting the cost, on average, a year, it will earn 76,000 money, and the annual rate of return is only 2.4 thousandths...... This kind of yield is not as good as playing a slightly larger one in the betting game.
Therefore, for the future development, Zhou Ming has a general plan in his heart:
First of all, in the betting game of basic sure profits, make a big profit.
Then go to the resource exchange, buy a few cities, or buy two districts, establish your own power, and run it well.
Finally, if you don't really have no choice, it's better not to become a gambler and play those dangerous gambles or zero-sum games, which will lead to a total loss and no recovery.
After all, to be honest, Zhou Ming is not good at gambling, or rather, he doesn't think that he will be better than those professional masters who have gambled for decades or hundreds of years when he has less contact, practice, and familiarity with gambling skills.
Because any industry, including gambling, is a science.
……
Three years later.
Game City, a large stadium-like building, tens of thousands of seats are filled with spectators dressed in different costumes.
These spectators are facing the ground in the middle of the gymnasium, and the three-dimensional projection equipment that is divided into four sides and unfolds in 360 degrees plays a huge projection image, emitting an earth-shattering noise.
In a few words, it is: crowded, deafening!
It's noisy and lively!
In the huge projection with a length and width of more than 100 meters, an extremely powerful scene was played.
Tracers, shrapnel splatters, human carnage, flesh and blood.
A transparent canopy system with electric flashes inside it constantly compresses the area and rains down lightning to smash humans outside the range into charcoal.
It's only three hours, a thousand humans, and in the end, only seven people are still standing within the safe range.
The 133rd game of "War Games" is over.
Tens of thousands of spectators in the stadium made a variety of sounds:
"Seven people survived, I bought eight people, 30 money, gone. The audience member looked disappointed and regretful.
"Of those seven people, I won three of them! Eighteen times, and I invested eighteen times the money!" The audience member danced excitedly.
"I only bought the right person, and I just kept the capital. ”
"The number of people is bought correctly, but the player number is only right, fifty money, can only become a hundred. ”
"Monster! There is a guy who not only bought the right number of people, but also bought all the player numbers correctly, which has increased by 300,000 times!
"What?
"30 million, grandma's, how good would it be to divide my tenth?"
"Who is he? I want to meet him, I want to learn some tricks from him, and then I want to borrow some money from him!"
After seeing the announcement of the winning information on the three-dimensional projection, the audience on the stage exploded, and there were many discussions, heated discussions, and they all said that they wanted to see who the winner was?
And Zhou Ming, who was wearing a pair of simulated masks, quietly left the viewing hall after receiving the 15 million money card from the organizer staff.
"30 million, I earned the largest amount of money in the past three years. ”
This amount of money is even more than the sum of the money earned in the past three years: 18 million.
Coupled with the 30 million he earned, there is now 48 million money on Zhou Ming's account.
Some people may wonder, doesn't Zhou Ming know the final winners of many competitions? Why is the money so slow, only 48 million in three years?
Even if the middle odds are 1:10, every time he bets 100,000 money, as long as he buys it right 50 times in a row, won't he be able to earn 50 million money?
With an average frequency of about 100 bets a year, you can make a small profit of 100 million a year, which shouldn't be a big problem, right?
That being said, in reality, this is not the case.
Because Zhou Ming's betting accuracy rate is less than 30%, the lower it is the more he goes to the back.
The reason for this situation, Zhou Ming believes that it may be the butterfly effect caused by the mutual influence of related events, which has led to the process and results of many games, which are completely different from what Zhou Ming expected.
And most of the players he bought were strong men with stable strength, who did not rely on luck to win, but with strong strength, and won without luck...... This kind of player naturally bets more money on him, resulting in the odds falling to only 1:5, 1:3 or even below 1:2, and there is no profiteering.
In addition, some players who win 100% and have high odds, after Zhou Ming places a heavy bet, the odds will drop a lot, resulting in not much money...... Because betting on a game, the odds will change with the amount of money bet, and the player who bets the most money will naturally have the lowest odds, reaching a dynamic equilibrium.
In the end, Zhou Ming found that only "War Games", which is similar to the lottery game, is more likely to achieve a sudden rich.
Because of the variety of gameplay in War Games, you can guess the number of survivors, you can also buy ten player numbers to see how many survived in the end, or you can guess the number of survivors and the number of survivors together...... There are three betting methods, the stake of 30, 50 and 100 money is respectively, and the corresponding maximum odds are 5 times, 10,000 times and 300,000 times respectively...... The more complex the bet, the higher the odds.
In addition, "War Games" also has a concept of "prize pool": if the number of winning bettors in the first few games is small, and the bet withdrawn is not much, the remaining bet will continue to accumulate in the later games, resulting in the maximum odds, which will go up.
Naturally, seeing the prize pool, the money that has accumulated to tens of millions or hundreds of millions, the red-eyed punters will definitely bet more crazily.
So during the past three years, a total of 18 "War Games", Zhou Ming bought all of them, although because of the butterfly effect, the probability of winning is not high, but it also made a small profit of 5 million.
Coupled with the explosion of character this time, 30 million money, Zhou Ming found that as long as the more people participated, the greater the probability of a few lucky people getting rich!
