Chapter 1370: Virtual Wars Cost More

If players could directly exchange gold coins and exchange virtual currency for real money, think about how crazy players would be! No, not just crazy, it's just hysterical!

Although there are now professional "gold-struck" players, most of the so-called professional "gold-struck" players still need to be sold through third parties or "online trading platforms", which is not only troublesome in trading, but also very insecure. After all, you don't know when your "gold" will be sold, and you don't know if you'll be in the business for long.

But now that Shijie Wars offers direct currency exchange, it's a boon for all gamers. This means that all players will be able to earn money directly by exchanging virtual currency in the game. This means that all professional "gold miners" no longer have to worry about income insecurity, as long as you can play "gold coins", you will be able to sell for money, which means that from now on, shijie will really appear a kind of professional players who make a living by "playing gold" in online games.

Of course, the emergence of this kind of professional "gold minger" is not entirely a bad thing for the game. After all, they are consumers of games themselves, and because of their presence, games will also flourish. After all, there are times when pure gold coins can't solve the problem, after all, in "Shijie Wars", the system stipulates that gold coins are just a kind of circulating currency, and you can't directly buy any high-end technology that can affect the balance of the game, and can only be used to buy liquid strategic materials and the like.

This will somewhat overshadow the sales model of real currency exchange for gold coins launched by Lin Feng, but the emergence of these professional "gold miners" will change all this. They can earn money in the game through various means, and then exchange it directly to earn living expenses or wages. And their presence will make the game more vibrant. In short, the emergence of this kind of professional "gold strike" will promote the exhibition of "Shijie Wars". Of course, there are some drawbacks.

However, whenever there is an online game, this kind of professional "gold minger" will be born, but now Lin Feng has legalized them.

It's just that Wu Zhaopu is not worried about whether the emergence of these professional "gold mingers" will have an impact on the game, but whether this will cause dissatisfaction in some countries.

Lin Feng shook his head.

"Mr. Wu, I will not use RMB as a unit, I will adopt international standards, and only accept the exchange of euros or US dollars. In other words, whether it is real currency to virtual currency, or virtual currency to real currency, the euro or dollar will be used as the settlement unit. In addition, for any exchange transaction, my company will charge a 5% transaction commission. Lin Feng explained.

Wu Zhaopu's eyes lit up. If that's the case, that's good. In this way, it will be possible to avoid being harmonized by the country to a large extent. And it also charges a 5% commission on trading, which is quite a lot of income.

5%, if there are tens of millions of dollars in exchange a day, regardless of whether the player buys virtual currency with real money, or uses virtual currency to buy real money, the 5% commission is 50,000 dollars, which is almost enough to cover the maintenance costs of all the servers in Shijie Wars.

But will this 5% be a little higher? After all, with such a large-scale exchange, will 5% be a little higher?

"5% is a bit high, especially during the war, and I guess the real currency that is exchanged every day is in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Lin Feng said with emotion.

Don't look at the scary number of hundreds of millions of dollars exchanged every day, in fact, it is not much to spread evenly among all continents, each country, and then to each guild in the game. Global five continents, Asia, Oceania, Africa, Europe, America. Most of Africa and the Americas are almost blank for online games, but just counting Asia, Europe and the Americas, the United States, Canada and other countries, it is enough to share the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Simple accounting, a war, a small scale, a war of 10,000 people. 10,000 submachine guns are one per capita, and 5 rounds in a war is not too much. There are only 3 bullets in one turn, and 15 bullets in three turns. According to the setting of "Shijie War", a bullet is 1 yuan of virtual currency, and a small war consumes 15 yuan per person. 10,000 people is 150,000 gold coins.

And that's just the basic ammunition consumption. And these 10,000 people, but also to buy food, drinking water, conservative estimates, one person will spend 1 game currency, that is, 10,000 game currency. That's 160,000 in-game coins. Then you can't always fight on foot, if you drive a motorcycle, an armored car, a tank, or even an airplane, you still have fuel to buy. Even if it's really just all foot combat, the maintenance of firearms, the repair of bulletproof clothing on the body, etc., all cost money. In this way, it is conservatively estimated that a person will spend about 3 gold coins in a war. 10,000 foot battles are the cost of 30,000 gold coins, and if other war tools are involved, the cost is more.

According to the exchange ratio proposed by Lin Fengchu, 1 US dollar is exchanged for 3 gold coins, which is 10,000 US dollars.

And this is just a battle of 10,000 people. According to Lin Feng's estimates, there will be more than 500 million conservative gamers in "Shijie Wars". The average online will be more than 70,000. After all, a first-person shooter game that is absolutely free, can conquer cities and plunder, and can freely exchange gold coins will be far more attractive than any online game. Especially when the game involves national honor and personal honor, this number will double. You think, when you hear that in the virtual shijie, your virtual national territory is occupied by other countries, but anyone who has a little blood and a little time will devote themselves to this game.

If nothing else, in order not to allow other countries to invade our territory, we must swear to fight to the death! Therefore, the number of Lin Feng's online players is estimated to be small. And even if this is a conservative estimate, there are at least thousands of wars of 10,000 people born every day. What's more, in the virtual shijie, the war is far easier than the real shijie, and as the game progresses, the war will only become more frequent and the scale will only get bigger.

And even if an average of 1 war per day, each war is conservatively estimated to cost 10,000 US dollars, which is 10,000 US dollars. And in the future, when the war between countries broke out, the sea, 6, and air were fully dispatched, it was normal for a war to have millions of people, and a war that consumed hundreds of millions of game gold coins was simply a joke.

War, war is attrition. And when this consumption can be bought directly with real money, people who are carried away by the frenzy of war will be crazy.

Wu Zhaopu calculated like this, and his face suddenly darkened. According to this calculation, wouldn't it be that fighting a virtual war in "Shijie Wars" in the future will be far more expensive than in real wars?

"Yes, if "Shijie War" reaches the middle and late stages, it is indeed a large-scale war between countries, it will be a war in reality. After all, there is no war in real wars with more than a million people, or even tens of millions of people. Even if the consumption of virtual war and real war is 1 to 1, the consumption is far greater than the consumption of a real war. Lin Feng affirmed.

"Doesn't that mean that in the future, our company will make hundreds of millions of dollars with every large-scale national war in Shijie Wars. And even if a war of this scale is fought once a month, counting so many countries, wouldn't we make billions of dollars every month!" Wu Zhaopu exclaimed.

Thinking of this possibility, Wu Zhaopu felt a golden light shining on his head, it was all a lot, a lot of dollars. Really according to this exhibition, the future "second shijie" will simply become a money printing machine.

Lin Feng nodded. If the exhibition goes well, the company's future benefits will indeed be beyond everyone's imagination.

"But in this way, in the future, the money of most countries will go into the pockets of our company, and I am afraid that it will arouse the dissatisfaction and even coveting of many countries. Wu Zhaopu thought that in the future, when global players fought wildly for the honor of virtual shijie and sent their money into Lin Feng's pocket, it would bring great economic risks.

Honor is going crazy. Once they put all their living expenses into "Shijie Wars", when they come to their senses and return to reality, Shijie will collapse. This will bring instability to these countries and even create an economic crisis. And at that time, the "second shijie", who has made a lot of money, may become the target of many countries.

"Yes, this is a crisis. Therefore, before that, our company should expand as much as possible, and become a company that can exist beyond the country, so that other countries will not dare to touch us. Until then, our conversation today must be kept secret. Lin Feng thought about this possibility, and he was also shocked into a cold sweat. Today's conversation must be kept secret, otherwise you will make your company a "Qing Dynasty peace" and make a fortune for others.

"Boss, rest assured, no third person will know about today's topic. Wu Zhaopu nodded heavily. He has already sold to the "second shijie" in this life, so to speak, whoever wants to be unfavorable to the "second shijie" is not good for him, and that is his enemy.

Lin Feng patted Wu Zhaopu on the shoulder. Let it not be so worried, after all, these things are still very far away, and they may not necessarily be born.

"That's right, but before that, there's one more problem to solve, and that's how to make it easy for players to exchange for gold. Lin Feng remembered the big drawback of this virtual currency exchange.

"Ha, this is simple, boss, don't you have a 'second bank', just let your 'second bank' launch a special game card, the money in this card, players can freely exchange game currency, and can also directly exchange game currency into real currency. It's a lot simpler that way. At the same time, it can also help the boss to show the 'second bank', which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone!" Wu Zhaopu clapped his hands and said.

Lin Feng's eyes lit up. Directly let your "second bank" sell this kind of game card, which will not only help players solve the exchange problem, but also make the "second bank" a global bank by the way.

"Mr. Wu, you have a good idea. That's it! I'll ask the 'Second Bank' to launch this kind of card. "Lin Feng is happy.

Then he called Pete, the president of the "Second Bank". After hearing about Lin Feng's idea, Pete agreed with it. At present, although the "Second Bank" is registered in the United Kingdom, in fact, its main business only covers Southeast Asia, and Pitt wants to build the "Second Bank" into a "flower bank". At present, the "Second Bank" is not too haode to expand Jihua, and Lin Feng, the "game card" Jihua, can undoubtedly promote the expansion of the "Second Bank".

I think about it, "Shijie Wars" is a shocking masterpiece with an investment of 1.3 billion US dollars, and it is also a blockbuster game launched by Lin Feng's "second Shijie" in 25 years, and it is definitely popular. The launch of the "Game Card" by the "Second Bank" will surely be accepted by the players of "Shijie Wars". At that time, if these users become hardcore users of the "second bank", it will be difficult for the "second bank" not to expand.

"Boss, by the way, regarding the issue of virtual currency exchange, I think that our bank may have to reserve a large amount of dollars or euros. At the moment, our banks do not have sufficient cash reserves. Pete said with a frown.

At present, the market value of the "Second Bank" is more than 1.4 billion Hong Kong dollars, but due to the previous financing, such as the acquisition of "Nvidia", etc., most of the company's liquidity has been consumed, and the company does not have enough liquidity to use as reserve funds to meet the needs of players to exchange virtual currency for US dollars.

"Don't worry, Pete, I'll ask 'Second Shijie' to take out $300 million as a guarantee and put it in 'Second Bank', and I don't need any guarantee from 'Second Bank'. Lin Feng said with a smile.

Pitt nodded. However, the "second shijie" itself has $2.5 billion in debt, and it has $300 million in cash to guarantee it.

"Haha, I don't have a 'second shijie', but I have it! I'll borrow 300 million US dollars from the 'second shijie' for the time being!"

Pete's eyes lit up. You must know that Lin Feng himself has no cash due to the acquisition of shares of "Baidu-Yahoo". Now that Lin Feng can come up with $300 million so boldly, it seems that the rumors that Lin Feng received $9.5 billion in compensation from the U.S. government should be true.

Of course, even if Pete guessed this, he wouldn't have said. After all, it is not good for anyone to talk about this kind of thing. Not only is his boss Lin Feng unhappy, but the US government will also be unhappy. Some things are better to rot in the heart.

"Boss, I'll do my best to push out this 'game card', you can rest assured!" Pete patted his chest and assured.

"Well, by the way, this kind of 'game card' also has a level limit. As long as the player has spent a certain amount of money on this card, regardless of whether it is in real life or in the virtual game Shijie, they can enjoy the discount of trading funds when they reach a certain amount. When reaching the high-level, Platinum VP level, the commission on all transactions on this card will be reduced to 1%. Lin Feng commanded.

The 5% commission is very high. Especially for the back of the war, when billions of game coins are invested at every turn, this 5% is very painful, and it will restrict the life of many wars. Think about it, the ratio of 1:3, when a war of millions of people is fought, only the transaction commission "second shijie" will draw 100 million game coins, that is, a commission of about 30,000 US dollars, which is too painful.

Therefore, only a reduction in commissions can guarantee the birth of these large-scale transactions. Moreover, setting the level of this bank card is also to highlight the player's identity, which can satisfy the player's vanity to a certain extent. This shijie, well, everyone has a little vanity.

Pete hung up the phone and buried himself in dealing with the "game card" thing. Pete is also extremely curious about the charging model that "Shijie Wars" will take. Although the risk in the early stage is relatively large, once you enter the middle and late stages of the game, the profit is probably more than that of the money printing machine. The "second bank", which is an intermediary guarantor, will naturally make a lot of money because of this.

"Okay, Mr. Wu, everything is done. Now wait for the open beta of "Shijie Wars". Lin Feng said with a smile.

Wu Zhaopu nodded heavily. Thinking that once "Shijie Wars" is open beta, the money will roll in, and Wu Zhaopu wants daxiao. It is said that making online games makes money, but who knew that making online games would be so profitable!

"By the way, boss, about the promotion of the game?" Wu Zhaopu asked.

"Don't rush this for now. After all, there is still half a year left in the open beta of "Shijie Wars", so there is no hurry, etc. After entering December, we will carry out full publicity. At that time, it was Christmas in the West, and "Shijie Wars" should be promoted as a Christmas gift for men around the world!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Well, then wait for now. Wu Zhaopu nodded, "Lin Dong, now that you're off work, are you going home or where are you going today? If you don't go home, let's go have a drink?" Wu Zhaopu was too excited in his heart, and he really wanted to find someone to drink. And Lin Feng is undoubtedly the right person!

Lin Feng looked at his watch, it was already 5 o'clock, and it was time to get off work.

"By the way, Mr. Wu, first accompany me to the opening of the fifth game, go to Minwu-Li, he is responsible for opening "Shijie Wars", and we will also listen to his views on "Shijie Wars". Lin Feng said with a smile.

Although it is usually not the case that the game departments are involved in the operation of the game, it has always been up to the company's management to decide. But this "Shijie War" is about the company's profits in the next few years, and it is very likely to become a source of big profit points for the company, and Lin Feng also wants to hear what Minwu-Li thinks about it. Of course, I also want to know what stage "Shijie Wars" is currently underway.

"Directly exchange gold coins? This is feasible! Lin, this method is good!" Minwu-Li greatly appreciated Lin Feng's jihua after hearing this, and expressed his absolute approval of this.

"By the way, what stage is "Shijie Wars" going on now?" Lin Feng asked with concern.

"This"

At this moment, there was an exclamation outside, and then someone hahadaxiao. Lin Feng walked over curiously and took a look, the whole person was stunned, this game, I didn't expect the "Fifth Game Opening" to actually play this game, but the game they played seemed to be different from what Lin Feng played when he was a child.
