Chapter 225: Real Estate Is a Pit
In June, venture capital institutions at home and abroad were as enthusiastic as the summer sun, boiling the entire virtual game investment market.
Starting from the Demon Legion of Hades Entertainment, many capital predators have entered one after another, waving banknotes and placing heavy bets on the guilds and players they are optimistic about.
For example, the Shen family fell in love with Ning Yi and the Wonder Workshop, if it weren't for Ning Yi's refusal to accept the sale of the shares of the Immortal Trace Guild, the Shen family would even be willing to spend several times the price to bet on it.
The reason is nothing else, it's really that the game of Phantom World is too hot now, and the rising momentum can't be stopped.
On Wednesday, June 20th, Ningyi logged into the game.
Today, Immortal has 7 manors, 5,700 players, and 40,000 NPCs, making it one of the best guild forces in Yunlan City.
Since the last time Ning Yi showed his might, defeated thousands of troops with one man, and defeated King's Landing, there has been no one who dares to provoke him.
As soon as Ning Yi went online, the drizzle came over to find Ning Yi with the guild directory.
Ning Yi looked through the latest issue of the list and said in surprise: "Hey, why are there so many players who have passed the professional assessment recently?" ”
Among the players, the proportion of professionals is still quite low, and most players do not have the talent, perseverance and ability to pass the in-game career assessment.
And the most important thing is that the professional certificate is not easy to get, and the drop rate is too low.
The drizzle stared at Ning Yi and smiled: "It's not all because of you." ”
Ning Yi was really a little puzzled by what she said, but when he understood the whole story, he was also a little crying and laughing.
Speaking of which, this matter really has something to do with him.
Dragon's Blood Essence and Agareth System, two of Kabbalah's flagship products, are now selling quite well online.
And the person in charge of Kabbalah's Asian branch is not a dry meal, they saw that the phantom world was so hot, and immediately spent a lot of money to find someone to advertise in the phantom world.
The slogan is also quite inflammatory: Do you want to be strong? Come to Kabbalah if you want to!
Those players with limited talent in the fantasy world, where can they withstand such temptation, when the first batch of people who ate crabs suddenly became stronger and returned to the game to show their might, it immediately attracted a large number of followers.
In these years, it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a blue suit of Huiyue quality, and the key is that even if the equipment is worn, you still can't do it if the technology is not good.
But the dragon's blood essence is a good thing, although one costs seven or eight thousand, and a course of treatment is at least hundreds of thousands, but the effect is immediate!
As for the Agares system, it's even more, it's simply that you won't order anywhere, spend some money, directly turn the waste materials into masters on the spot, and sell all kinds of fighting techniques in batches.
In this way, the player's strength is like riding a rocket, and it is much more powerful than skills and equipment.
Of course, this also brings another problem - the price of the transfer certificate has risen again, and it has risen several times.
There is no way, I was afraid of failure before, and many players have a psychological shadow about changing classes and dare not try it easily.
But now, even if he is basically a pig, as long as he uses the dragon's blood essence and the Agareth system, he can successfully transfer in the illusory world!
As a result, the market demand for job transfer certificates has expanded more than tenfold, and now people with a little capital are spending money to buy job transfer certificates.
In a way, it's an investment.
Because there are more and more players now, and there are still only a few players with professions, it is very popular and is regarded as the main force by major guilds.
Whether it is development prospects or welfare enjoyment, there is a difference between having a job and not having a job.
An ordinary player, as long as the job change is successful, if the luck is not bad, he can return to his capital in half a year, and now in the fantasy world, the main force of making money is still a variety of professionals.
And within the immortal trail, the proportion of professionals is quite high, and it has reached more than 60% before.
And now it's even more exaggerated to 92%, even some life players have combat professions.
"By the way, President, there's a land auction tomorrow, are we going to attend?"
The drizzle suddenly asked.
After she said this, Ning Yi remembered that it seemed that after this week's system update, the system opened up land sales in major cities.
As long as the player has the status of an honorary citizen or higher in the city, they can purchase real estate with no upper limit.
Before that, players had to work hard to gain prestige if they wanted to buy land.
"Oh, is it finally starting?"
Ning Yi thought about it, the real estate business is still very cost-effective, basically now as long as the land is auctioned, whether it is for self-use or waiting for appreciation, it is a good deal.
With the financial resources of the Immortal Miracle and the Wonder Workshop, this capital feast is naturally qualified to sit at the table.
However, after weighing the pros and cons in his heart, he still shook his head: "We don't need to make up for this excitement." ”
Drizzle was stunned, blinking her big eyes and asking, "Why?" ”
In her opinion, the real estate industry in the illusory world is also very interesting, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yunlan City will soon be expanded, otherwise it will not be able to accommodate the growing player base.
If there are more people and less land, land will naturally be sold for a good price, this logic is simple and crude, but it is very effective.
Ning Yi shook his head with emotion and said: "Don't just see the real estate industry making money, in fact, this is also a big pit, especially for the big guilds with ambitions and pursuits, once this pit falls, it may never be able to climb out again." ”
He's not jumping to conclusions.
In fact, just think about it, the amazing profits of land trading are known to Chinese people who have experienced the 21st century.
But the fantasy world is different from reality, and real estate developers in reality can collude with banks to use other people's money to build their own real estate.
Compared with input and output, the profit of real estate is really not enough.
In the Phantom World, the bank is just a savings institution, and there is no loan function at all, and players have to pay real money to buy land and build it.
When the house is built, if it is too expensive, the player would rather stay in a hotel or rent an NPC shop, and even if the player is capable, there is no way to manipulate the price of the house in the game.
Maybe it will appreciate in the future, but how long is this "later", and the heavy asset investment cannot be realized immediately, which is not a loss to grandma's family!
The input and output are seriously disproportionate, so in Ning Yi's view, as long as he buys a piece of land in the city to build shops and hotels, it is too stupid to hoard land.
After that, it is necessary to consider the strategic focus of the guild's development, and the core idea of the immortal trail is to expand outward, build its own towns, and use it to buy land if you have money, it is really better to invest in your own territory and army.
Under Ning Yi's explanation, the drizzle only then did he understand the doorway inside.
She had also been fooled by the news on the forum before, and a bunch of laymen gathered to discuss the prospect of land appreciation in the game, all of them thinking that they were smarter than others.
It's actually really stupid.
Under the current version, the player's most profitable business is definitely not to buy land, but to raid dungeons, as well as to produce various strategic materials.
Playing real estate is simply a ridiculous act of sacrificing the basics.
The big guilds with a little foresight will not spend too many resources on this matter, and it is better to go to the wild and occupy a few more pieces of territory with this money.
"How is the operation and construction of the territory?"
Ning Yi put aside the matter of the land auction and asked the drizzle about the business overview of the territory.
"Jackdaw Ridge and Nianfeng Villa are enough to qualify for promotion to the town, and the remaining five manors are also developing well."
Ning Yi pushed open the window and looked at it, the ice and snow on Jackdaw Ridge had dissipated a lot, and the current snow area was less than the usual before, revealing the turquoise earth.
Dodo~
Outside the house, there was the sound of hammers hitting iron nails, and the pleasant jingling sound in the weapons workshop in the industrial area.
After two consecutive weeks of development, the current population of Jackdaw Ridge has exceeded 10,000, and the continuous recruitment of NPC remnants has made this territory grow rapidly.
Lined with houses, nestled between the criss-crossed streets, there are busy figures everywhere.
Players, NPCs, live and work together here, abiding by the laws appointed by Ningyi.
Ning Yi was the first player to legislate to protect the rights and interests of NPCs in his own territory, which in the eyes of many was simply stupid.
NPCs are just data, and many players hold this argument high and do evil in the game.
But Ning Yi still insisted, because he knew that evil did not distinguish between online and offline.
Accompanied by the drizzle, Ning Yi went to inspect the armory, and just happened to have a new batch of weapons in the warehouse, only to see bundles of iron spears, tied with leather ropes, piled up in the warehouse.
In order to prevent rust from deteriorating durability, it is also necessary to have special personnel to maintain these weapons, usually by applying anti-rust grease.
On the weapon rack, the white glittering steel knives and iron swords shimmered with cold and murderous spirits.
With the armory, not only has the production of the barracks increased, but even the trained recruits have increased their combat effectiveness by 10%.
The large barracks of Jackdaw Ridge is now becoming more and more powerful, the original core area is only 7 hectares, and then it is constantly expanding outward, with a radius of 2.5 kilometers.
Now upgraded to a small town, the area of the core block has been increased by nearly fifty times, covering an area of 3 square kilometers!
The radius has been increased to 15 km, which means that within 15 km, there can be no more towns, which involves the resources of the territory and the corresponding population capacity limit.
The scale of the manor is naturally not as large as that of a small town, and running a town of your own is much more profitable than taking money to invest in real estate.
For example, Ning Yi has now invested a large amount of money in production areas such as mines, blacksmith shops, and various workshops.
The continuous improvement of production capacity, in addition to meeting the needs of immortals for their own use, can also get the money of players in the market.
