Chapter 118: Long-Lost Activity (2)
As for killing Guan Qi, players will only be much more eager than the aborigines; For the aborigines, the benefits of killing Guan Qi are nothing more than the removal of the unstable factors in the world, as well as some insignificant benefits. But for players, killing Guan Qi not only means fame, but also a gold-level unlock certificate!
How much is a Gold Unlock Pass worth? This is a problem that can make players argue on the forum for thousands of floors, with the further increase in players, the original high price of the contribution has shown signs of falling, and now it is basically stable at a little contribution can be exchanged for between 60 and 80 yuan. As for why the contribution has such a large price range, it is all because of the lack of an intermediary that can communicate reality and the game, and the acquisition contribution can basically only be obtained from the scattered player group; The real-world state is reluctant to recognize the legitimacy of contribution for a variety of reasons, and is also hostile to the organization of real money and contribution to huàn, in the case of China, even on e-commerce sites, contribution is already a sensitive word.
According to the theory of the Forum's economists, if the state is willing to establish an official contribution system, it will be beneficial to the national economy; The economic crisis in the world is not caused by too much demand, but because there is too little demand. The consumption power of the big bourgeoisie, which owns the majority of the property in society, is not proportional to the wealth they have, while the lower strata who have the desire to consume do not have enough wealth, and insufficient consumption @ will inevitably lead to a decrease in demand, and a decrease in demand will inevitably lead to a decrease in production, and the biggest consequence of a decrease in production is that the wealth owned by the lower strata will be further reduced, which will further reduce the demand of the whole society, and thus further reduce production.
In fact, the real-world economic crisis is slowly but irreversibly drowning every country; In the 16th year of the 21 st century, the dividends of productivity growth brought about by the information revolution and the dividends of the markets of emerging countries have almost been consumed. The big countries in the real world are basically doing all kinds of things in response to the economic crisis.
The United States wants China to remain its exporter of cheap goods. But they don't want China to be an exporter of cheap goods; The United States, which was once the most important promoter of global economic integration, has instead begun to promote various regional economic and trade cooperation organizations. As for the use of monetary hegemony to transfer crises, this is already a proven and proven method.
On the one hand, China hopes to rely on stimulating domestic demand to transfer the production pressure caused by insufficient external demand, and on the other hand, it hopes to further develop and rejuvenate the national market. Not only in Africa, which has allowed China to operate for decades, but also in the underdeveloped regions of Asia. As for the New Silk Road, which has been being promoted, it is nothing more than that China wants the entire world island to be its own market.
On the one hand, the EU hopes to get rid of the clamp of the United States and compete for a larger market for itself in the world, but on the other hand, it is trapped by the backward countries in the alliance and the threat from Russia, so it has to make a false concession with the United States. Because of this, the EU often expresses its hostility towards Russia and China. There are many times the tendency to show goodwill and cooperation, not because the EU likes schizophrenia, but because the EU has to be schizophrenic.
According to the economists of the forum, if it is necessary to alleviate the economic crisis; There are basically two approaches. The first is to reduce the productive capacity of the whole world, since the immediate cause of the economic crisis is the outstrip of production over demand, it is better to reduce production; However, there is also a problem here, production capacity is directly related to the national strength of the country in the real world, in other words, reducing production capacity is bleeding yourself.
No country wants to bleed itself. Therefore, in history, the thing that determines how much blood is bled in each country has been called war; Whether it was the First World War or the Second World War, there was an economic crisis as a backdrop, and every world war. All ended with heavy losses in the industrial capacity of the defeated countries. However, after the Second World War, nuclear weapons appeared in the real world, and more importantly, the countries with strong production capacity in the world basically have nuclear countries, so it is no longer possible to rely on the world war to decide who bleeds.
The second way is to increase consumption; There are also historical roots to this. The nineteenth century gold rush. Many of the penniless understrata of society have enough wealth, which not only satisfies their own consumption intentions, but also expands the consumption of the whole world. Thus alleviating the first world economic crisis. In the twentieth century, Roosevelt's New Deal was a precedent for the state to promote consumption.
The more direct method, in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, was to seize the colonies; In the twenty-first century, the world's great powers are working to build a regional economic union, which is in fact a new form of colony. After the demise of the Soviet Union, the United States, as the world's first, promoted globalization in order to treat the whole world as its new colony; However, as other countries developed, the United States felt that globalization was affecting itself, so it retreated to the second place, hoping to continue to promote globalization while ensuring its own interests.
In the real world, both methods are being pushed forward with difficulty; Until the advent of Endless Adventure. For a single individual player, Endless Adventure is actually a very dramatic virtual game; But for human society as a whole, this is a far more effective solution to the economic crisis than a gold mine.
The fantasy world of Endless Adventure has scientific and technological materials that can be used in the real world, which promotes the development of productivity; At first glance, the development of the productive forces means the growth of the productive capacity, which will only exacerbate the economic crisis. But in fact, this is not the case, new technology in the industrial society represents new equipment, a new technology that greatly increases productivity, and means that all the production enterprises related to it have to replace the equipment, this demand is huge.
After the real-world huàn function is launched, not to mention the big organizations in the real world, even third- and fourth-rate enterprises hope to find growth points in "Endless Adventure"; In other words, although the demand of the real world has not increased, the investment of the real world in "Endless Adventure" has greatly increased the consumption of the whole society.
Due to the characteristics of "Endless Adventure", every player who enters it can earn contribution independently; In other words, EverAdventure is a new gold mine, and players are gold diggers. Originally, the vast majority of players had consumption needs but no spending power, but relying on the contribution to exchange for real currency, the consumption of these people was converted into real consumption, which greatly alleviated the economic crisis.
A very simple new number is that as the influence of "Endless Adventure" grows, the economic growth number jù looks better; This is also the practical basis for the Forum's economists to advocate the establishment of an official contribution system. (To be continued......)
