It has been less than three months since the creation of Far Eastern Cloud Network, but the expansion rate has greatly exceeded the expectations of all shareholders, including Roland. When the network was upgraded, one of Andre's biggest worries was the loss of users, but now it seems that his concerns are purely unfounded, after the network upgrade, the old users are basically retained, and the explosive growth of new users is ushered in.

The success of the first battle of the cloud network is inseparable from its superior service and perfect functions, and it also benefits from extensive and in-depth publicity and reporting. Since the beginning of the year, major newspapers and periodicals in the Far East have been competing to publish relevant information on the cloud network on the front page, and Roland himself has published a heavyweight article on the front page of the financial section of the "Motherland Daily" under the pseudonym "Liszt Keynes", announcing to the whole society that "the 'cloud era' is coming". These news reports hyped up the concept of cloud-network, and the widespread social attention prompted people to learn about cloud-network through various channels and try the various services provided by cloud-network, which led to the explosive growth of cloud-network users, and cloud services and cloud transactions were unprecedentedly active.

Casually putting down the newspaper that published the cloud network advertisement, Roland's attention returned to the management interface. The management interface specially developed by the system for cloud network has complete functions, and various statistical data can be directly viewed.

……

Q1 1623 Cloud Network Briefing:

Capital adequacy ratio: 15%

Reserve ratio: 40%

Current Interest Rate: 1% p.a.

Fixed Interest Rate: 3% p.a.

Loan interest rate: 8% p.a.

Arcane Account: 8102; Current exchange rate: 1 ring arcane bit = 9.90 gold taler

Divine Accounts: 3075; Current exchange rate: 1 Ring Slot = 12.60 Gold Tal

Psionic Account: 404; Current exchange rate: 1 psionic point = 14.88 gold taler

Cloud Card Account: Not yet available

……

Skimming through the list of statistics, Roland's lips twitched into a satisfied smile.

Before the network upgrade, users were mainly concentrated in Beacon Mountain, and the Arcane account remained around 6,000 all year round, and the growth potential had dried up, and Andre was eager to upgrade the network in order to develop new users. Less than three months after the network upgrade, the Arcane account exceeded the 8,000 mark, and the subsequent growth momentum will be even stronger.

Compared with other spell networks in the world of Vares, the biggest advantage of "Cloud Network" is "compatibility", and arcane spellcasters, magic casters, and psychic abilities can all link to the cloud network to open an account. Since the establishment of the cloud network, the magic account has grown from scratch, and the growth momentum has even surpassed that of the Olympiad account.

How did these two thousand magic accounts come about? Roland himself registered the first Divine Account of the Cloud Network, and then sent a top-down order through the Church of Sindra that all of Sindra's priesthood should register for a Divine Account. It has to be said that the power of the system is far better than fighting alone, Roland, as the supreme religious leader of the Far Eastern Sindra Holy See, has added more than 2,000 magic users to the cloud network with a single order. In addition, there are more than 1,000 magic accounts belonging to the Green Druid, and the chief druid of the "Harvest Ring" Wa Ringina created the first "Natural Magic Account" of the cloud network, and his disciples should follow suit. In this way, with the assistance of Sister Jinlong, Roland initially established the Far Eastern Royal Court's own "magic bank", and over time, it may not be impossible to compete with the "Perot Fund" on the same stage.

The cloud network can also circulate and store psychic abilities. Since the number of supernatural beings in the world of Varess is far rarer than that of arcane spellcasters and divine spellcasters, the psionic accounts of the cloud network are correspondingly much smaller than the previous two, and the more than 400 accounts currently opened are mainly from the "Psychic Academy" in the silver sky. Dean Ms. Eltaran registered the first psionic account of the cloud network, and Jessica's little sister was the second ranked psionic user, and the young people in the academy, as well as the astral powerhouses led by Eugene, also became the first batch of users of the cloud network.

There are four types of accounts in the cloud network, among which the "cloud card account" is for ordinary people who have neither the ability to cast spells nor the ability to manifest energy. As long as you hold a "cloud card", ordinary people can also open a cloud network account and buy and sell cloud assets freely. Since the "cloud card" has just completed research and development, it has not yet achieved industrial mass production, and the "cloud card account" has not yet been officially opened, and the relevant statistics are temporarily vacant.

Roland received a systematic education in economics and finance on a university campus before his travel, and then presided over the national economy and financial construction in the Far East.

For example, the cloud-network briefing in front of me is like a foreign exchange trading software, showing the real-time exchange rates of different cloud assets. One ring of arcane slots is exchanged for 9.90 gold taler, and one ring of divine slots is exchanged for 12.60 gold talers, which seems a bit strange at first glance.

As we all know, most of the magic and arcane arts are interconnected, and most of them can find their corresponding arcane versions, and there is no difference in effectiveness. So why is the market price of the 1-ring magic slot so much more expensive than the 1-ring arcane slot? If we analyze it from the general utility theory of value, it makes a bit of sense.

Is the market pricing the asset wrong?

Not really.

The reason why the magic bits with the same ring number are more expensive than the arcane bits is that the magic users of the cloud network are far fewer than the arcane users, most of the arcane users are old qualifications, experienced and familiar with the rules of online trading, and the number of transactions in the arcane market is far more frequent than that of the arcane slot, the transaction cost is lower, and the state of almost complete competition is lower, so the price is lower; Due to the creation of the magic trading market not long ago, most of the users are still relatively unfamiliar with the trading rules, in a state of exploration, when trading online with strangers, it is inevitable to have concerns such as "whether the other party will be a liar", and excessive concern about the risk will lead to a sluggish transaction, and the price set for the magic bit is high.

Roland is sure that with the smooth operation of the cloud network, more and more users of magic will gradually become familiar with the rules of online trading, and no longer be suspicious and suspicious, the magic trading market will become more and more active, and the price difference between magic and arcane will also be narrowed day by day. With these trends in mind, now is a good time to sell Divine Assets and buy Arcane Assets. If you are a little more bold and use hundreds of times the leverage to short sell magic assets, once the speculation is successful, it is not a dream to get rich overnight.

Of course, as the manager of the cloud network, he can't do this kind of illegal operation of "being both a referee and an athlete", and he can't even reveal the news to his relatives and friends. Besides, with his current identity and status, why is there any need to grab meat in his own pot to eat? Rather than speculating to make money, if he can spare free time, Roland is more interested in engaging in academic work, such as designing a set of cloud-based capital asset pricing models, which are free for cloud-network users and institutional investors to learn from, and contribute to the promotion of modern financial research in the world of Vares.

However, just as Roland was thinking about how to use his free time, a red ball of light appeared. The text message sent by Andre brought him good news, and at the same time brought him more work.

"No way, I have to work overtime again today." Roland held the teleportation ball and muttered with a wry smile.
