Chapter 508: Virtual Economy

After the country's reply came, Tianming was slightly surprised, and then said to the man sitting opposite: "What's going on with the virtual economy?" ”

Sun Pengxing sat up straight, and explained: "That's the case, the virtual economy is relative to the real economy, the inevitable product of economic virtualization, with a unique set of value system, this value is the spiritual value equal to the real material value, what is the spiritual value?" Joy, anger, sorrow, and resentment, such as joy, when a person is in a depressed or unhappy state, he urgently needs the commodity of 'joy', how to obtain it? Of course, it is purchased with money, and the same is true for playing games, and people are addicted to games because games can bring people a sense of pleasure and achievement......"

Such a profound and complex economic theory, Tianming was confused when he heard it, his head was a little big, and he said impatiently to Sun Pengxing: "You can describe it in a popular sentence." ”

Sun Pengxing, who was spitting "well, good", paused, and said after pondering for a while: "For example, the so-called virtual economy is the economic benefits brought by virtual online games. ”

"Financial interests? Is the game company profitable or the player profitable? ”

"Both are profitable!" Sun Pengxing said: "The boss should have read the so-called online game novel, in which the currency in the game is equivalent to the real currency. A piece of high-end equipment in the game can be sold for a lot of game currency, which can be converted into RMB in the player's bank account, that is to say, the equipment trading behavior in the game is the same as the commodity trading behavior in reality, and the game company can extract the tax rate in this process. Players can fight monsters and upgrade through guò to obtain economic benefits. ”

Tianming nodded with a little interest: "I know this, do you buy and sell game equipment, no matter what online game, there are people who make money from this." ”

"That's just a small range of transactions, limited to high-end players. It does not form a scale effect. Boss, virtual online games are different, the economic value of virtual online games is much higher than that of ordinary games, and even can derive a virtual economy, imagine, boss, when the most ordinary copper coins in virtual online games, can be exchanged for huàn into real currency; The top-of-the-line equipment can be sold for millions of yuan. What should that be the scenario? Just like our property market, it's getting hotter and hotter! ”

Tianming's eyes lit up and said: "You mean to say that our virtual online game cooperates with banks to realize currency exchange?" ”

"So to speak! If the boss finds a bank to cooperate, I believe that many banks will be willing to cooperate with the boss, why? Because the state has injected 100 billion virtual investment into "Seeking Immortal Continent", this 100 billion funds are actually the part of the money that the state started the money printing machine to print, which is an overspent money, what is the purpose? The aim is to allow the majority of players to enter this virtual online game. Go earn this money! What problem was solved? Unemployment problem! This is the intention of the state, to invest in the virtual economy, stimulate employment and promote consumption! ”

"You mean to say. Can all players who enter the game earn money through this game? ”

"No, it's those who want to make money, and those who want to make fame. One thing can be confirmed: people who play virtual online games. All can get the one they want! ”

Tianming nodded: "I understand, this is the so-called virtual economy." ”

……

December 18th. This follows the announcement of the country's support for virtual online games and an investment of 100 billion to support the virtual economy. Another blockbuster news came: 8 important financial institutions such as the People's Bank of H, Commercial Bank, Agricultural Bank of China, and Guangyao Bank announced their support for virtual currency exchange and settlement business, signed a cooperation agreement with Lanming Game Company, and opened the game currency recharge-exchange business.

The 100 billion virtual economy investment funds given by the state to Lanming Game Company will become the first batch of game currency that can be exchanged for huàn principal.

Rumble!

The game industry is a sensation, the Internet is a sensation, the financial industry is a sensation, and the entire society of country H is a sensation!

Three words: boom, boom!

"Damn, labor and management have deleted all the games in one go, from today on, just wait for "Seeking Immortal Continent" to come out, I want to play you!"

"Wait? Can you still sit still at this time? Hurry up and raise money to find a way to get a game helmet! ”

"When is the game in open beta? When will gaming headsets be sold? Can anyone tell me where to sell and where I have to line up in advance to buy a helmet! ”

"It is said that tens of thousands of people have gone to the door of the Lanming Game Company today, all asking what game helmets are for sale, and some people have a quilt and plan to sleep at the door of the Lanming Game Company."

"Take! It's all so crazy, we can't be left behind, do you go to lay on the floor? First come, first served, you won't be able to buy a gaming helmet if you go late. ”

"Go, go, go! Today, December 18th, Lanming Company said that the public beta will be released before January 1, 19, and time is running out, so you must grab the goods in advance! ”

"Let's go, bring money and quilts, and go to the floor together!"

……

December 19th.

Under the office building of Lanming Game Company, there are already more than 100,000 game enthusiasts, game studio personnel, student party members, and scalpers from all over the country...... gathered downstairs in the company, and there were many people who asked the person in charge of the company: When will the game be open beta? When will gaming headsets be sold? Is it okay for them to want to buy a gaming helmet now?

Foreman Jun looked at the dense crowd of people at the door, and felt that his scalp was numb for a while, some people were pale, their eye sockets were deep-set, and their eyes showed fanaticism.

"Foreman-kun, when will the game be open beta?"

"Foreman-kun, can you sell us a game helmet?"

"Foreman, 100,000 yuan, sell me a helmet." One said with a wad of bills in his hand.

"I have 1 million in this box, Gong Changjun, 1 million, can I buy a helmet?" Another man wearing sunglasses and carrying a suitcase said.

It was the first time that Gong Changjun had encountered such a scene, but he quickly calmed down and asked the staff behind him to bring a loudspeaker.

"Friends, players! After discussion, the leaders of Lanming Game Company decided: "Seeking Immortal Continent" will be officially open to the public on January 1, 2019! ”

There was an immediate commotion below, almost causing a stampede.

"Don't get excited, listen to me, listen to me first." The foreman reassured him. The people in the field calmed down, and one by one they eagerly waited for the foreman to announce the next news.

"Regarding gaming helmets, Lanming Games is working overtime to produce, and at present, 5 million gaming helmets have been prepared and are ready to be put into the first batch of public sale."

There was another commotion below.

"Don't get excited, listen to me." Foreman Jun continued: "As for the specific price that everyone cares about the game helmet, it is not convenient to announce it at present, but the price range set by our senior management is: the most expensive will not exceed 100,000 yuan." The cheapest is no less than the price of a mid-range desktop computer, and more than 90% of people can afford a gaming headset. But one thing we want to remind is: regardless of whether the price is affordable or not, don't sell your kidney! ”

"Hahaha." The crowd below burst into laughter.

"Then Foreman-kun, in that case, where can I buy a game helmet? Is it here? A young man asked.

"Of course not here, how can we handle millions of people. Lan Ming will select 10 cities across the country as helmet sales points, and in order to give everyone the opportunity to buy helmets. To prevent scalpers from making profits, we will implement a reservation system and a real-name system, and the specific method is to fill in the purchase application on our game official website and fill in the real personal information. First come, first served. From the 20th, we will release 200,000 purchase places every day, and everyone can grab them, a total of 2 million. ”

"Except for online appointments. At our branches in cities across the country, we will also release 2.8 million gaming helmets, and you can queue up to buy them. ”

"Still. With so many people here today, we can't let everyone come in vain, so Lanming Games will come up with an additional 200,000 places for everyone present! Our staff has prepared the documents, so let's fill in your personal information and make an appointment! ”

As soon as the foreman said this, it was no less than a announcement of the shocking good news, and everyone rushed to the hundreds of booths that had been set up, picked up the pen, and filled out the appointment form.

"Line up, everyone line up!"

The staff who maintained order at the scene walked back and forth with loudspeakers.

……

December 20th.

"Seeking the Immortal Continent", in the game.

These days, Ling Chen's seven-person team has all successfully advanced to level 20, completed the transfer task, passed the guò teleportation array, and came to Phoenix City.

Phoenix is more than a hundred times larger than the Novice Village, with more than 10,000 buildings in the city and a total population of more than 200,000 NPCs. With a maximum capacity of 1 million players, after Ling Chen and them entered the city, they were completely dazzled by the prosperity of the city, and they got lost several times while walking.

The peach forest, not far from the city, is a twenty-fifth level dungeon, and a group of peach tree spirits live in it. These peach tree spirits have a strong attack power, and they also have a certain spell attack ability, and can use illusion attacks. But after all, it is a tree, and the agility is very low, and three or five players of level 20 can grind the peach tree to death.

A team of seven is brushing peach tree essence in the peach blossom forest.

Suddenly, an announcement came from the sky: "The player 'I am a dragon' has completed the trial task and entered the Xianmen 'Qingyun Sect', the internal test of the game is over, please launch the game within five minutes." ”

Ling Chen and the others were shocked, the internal test is over, and someone has entered the immortal gate?

After everyone quit the game, they looked for the internal tester who successfully entered the Xianmen, a man who looked like Sven, and asked him what the Xianmen looked like, and the Sven man smiled silently, only saying that the place was beautiful and interesting.

A staff member walked over, gathered all the game's beta testers together, and announced several important news to everyone with a smile: "Hello everyone, after more than a month of closed beta, the game test has been a complete success, everyone has worked hard. In the same way, your mission has also been accomplished, in order to express your gratitude for everyone's hard work during this time, Lanming Company has decided to give each tester a cash reward of 50,000 yuan. In addition, each person will be given a set of game equipment, which will be delivered to each person's home. I hope that after you go back, you will continue to have a good time in the game and have a comfortable time. ”

Everyone was stunned.

"Gift a set of gaming equipment? Did I hear me right? ”

"Oh~! Great, I can play in the game in the future, long live Lan Ming! Long live the Immortal Continent! ”

"Boss, we are developed, developed!" Xiao Tian pulled Ling Chendao, who was in a daze.

"Yes, brothers, our time has come." Ling Chen muttered to himself, feeling that the blood in his body had all surged.
