Rebirth of the big era of online games

Chapter 385 Things in the game, solved in the game

In the history of online games, if you want to talk about which game's internal market economic operation mechanism and laws are closest to the real economy, it should be "EVE", because the things that circulate in the market, except for the most basic ships and Blueprints, and almost everything else is produced by the players themselves.

The thing about "Fantasy Westward Journey" is that the economic recycling of the game is done well, and there is no practical reference. Even when it comes to the economic recycling of the game, "EVE" is more than a hundred times stronger than "Fantasy Westward Journey".

When Fang Jie was planning "The Legend of Jin Yong", the so-called "everything is useful" actually borrowed this set of mechanisms from "EVE", but even so, it cannot be compared with a real sandbox game. To the real everything is useful.

This is also one of the reasons why "EVE" has been prosperous for a long time. The internal economy of the game is completely in line with the laws of the market. No matter how the game is revised, how the gameplay is adjusted, or the internal supply and demand relationship of the game changes, the market will self-regulate, and this adjustment is The result of the joint action of every player in the game.

The trading market in "EVE" is very similar to the real stock trading market. There are sell orders and buy orders. Sometimes the price difference between the two parties' pending orders is only 0.01 star coins, because in the mineral trading in the game, the transaction volume of each order is often tens of millions. Even for hundreds of millions of minerals, every 0.01 change in two digits after the decimal point is a big business related to earning more or less millions of star coins.

Since there is a certain delay in the change of supply and demand within the game, for example, players have recently lost more ships, and the production of ships requires a lot of materials and waiting time, the number of ships that each starship manufacturer can produce each time The quantity is also limited, which leads to a time difference in the transmission of supply and demand changes to market prices.

Therefore, there will be another profitable economic model in the middle: futures.

Just like in reality, due to factors such as seasonal changes, policy adjustments, and unexpected situations, the price of a certain type of raw material will suddenly skyrocket. In order to hedge such risks, the manufacturer, after judging the future market, advances with the supply The buyer agrees on the delivery price of the goods at a certain time in the future.

There is no futures trading market in the game, but it does not prevent Fang Jie, who is proficient in securities, from doing futures business.

The entire operation process is to first predict that the demand for a certain type or types of raw materials, finished starships, and finished equipment will increase significantly in the future, resulting in a skyrocketing price.

The reason for such a prediction is, of course, because he can provoke the army to fight in the game at any time, which has been proved in the water test operation last month.

With this prediction, the second step is to stock up on the bottom and let Chinese miners help mine and stock up, so that the daily supply of minerals in the market is very limited, and the shortage of supply leads to a skyrocketing price, at least maintaining a high price.

Even if necessary, spend money to buy recharge points, and then use these recharge points to exchange a large amount of game currency in the game point card trading market, and use these game currency to further sweep a large number of goods in the market, similar to the dealer’s operation in the stock market. Continue to push up the price of minerals.

The increase in the price of raw material minerals will be transmitted to all aspects of the game. The most obvious is that it will further increase the cost of starship manufacturing, resulting in an increase in the price of finished starships.

During this period, the Manufacturing under the legion began to mass-produce the current main combat starships with the materials hoarded in the early stage, reducing the ever-increasing mineral inventory and increasing the added value of products.

The third step is to let the spies placed in the legions who have been silent for a period of time play their due role, so that the consumption in the game will start to increase.

Once the internal friction intensified, the demand for starships increased significantly. The manufacturing players in the game saw that building starships was profitable, so they began to mass-produce starships, and the production of starships required a lot of raw materials, especially in the army. The logistics manufacturing number is just needed, and the starships of the members of the legion have suffered heavy losses, so they must be replenished.

At this time, Fang Jie began to harvest.

On the one hand, he gradually puts the manufactured starships on the market. Before other manufacturing players are still waiting for the starships to be completed, he is already shipping them, earning a lot of game coins.

On the other hand, gradually ship high-level minerals to manufacturing players in the game, and earn a lot of game currency for these manufacturing players.

During this process, the price difference that Fang Jie earned, if nothing else, was 2-5 times the cost of buying and stocking. The price of minerals that used to cost 10 star coins per cubic meter may have skyrocketed to more than 20 or even 30 star coins. Yes, tens of billions or hundreds of billions of minerals are thrown out, and the profit is several times that of recycling.

But this is not over yet, this is just the first wave of acquisitions, earning only virtual game currency.

Due to the skyrocketing prices of ships, materials, and equipment in the game, combat players need to spend more game currency to buy these game items, so that they cannot make ends meet.

How to do?
Foreigners who are rich and lazy, and the game currency is gone, then buy a large number of recharge points through recharge, and exchange them for game currency in the point card trading market inside the game!
Once the number of players exchanging recharge points for game coins increases sharply, the number of game coins circulating in the point card trading market will decrease.

In other words, affected by the relationship between supply and demand, recharge points began to depreciate sharply, and game coins began to appreciate sharply.

In the past, a recharge point could sell 1 game coins, but now a recharge point can only sell 20 game coins. With the same amount of game coins, players have to spend more cash to buy.

Don't forget, at this time, Fang Jie was holding astronomical amounts of game currency in his hands because he was selling starships and minerals.

When the recharge points depreciated to a certain extent, he started shipping again.

This shipment is the game currency that I earned several times before, and what I get back is the top-up point of real money!

And it was at least double the previous price in exchange for recharge points!

Just do the math: If Fang Jie owned minerals worth 100 billion star coins before trading, the recharge point exchange price is 1 point = 1 million game coins, so these minerals are worth 100 recharge points, or 100 US dollars .

Through the first wave of trading and conservative calculations, you can earn back twice the game currency, which is 200 billion game currency.

After the second wave of manipulation in the point card trading market, the recharge points depreciated at this time, and 1 recharge point can only be exchanged for 5000 million game coins, so the game coins in his hand are already worth 400 US dollars at this moment!
One after the other, conservatively calculated, also has 4 times the income!
Of course, the value of the currency in his hands in the early stage was not only 100 billion game coins, but 100 trillion!
That is, minerals or starships worth 100 trillion star coins!

After this round of operations, it took only half a month, and the recharge point worth 400 million US dollars was obtained!

These recharge points can be linked to Amazon to sell to players at a discount. After deducting transaction costs and discounts, the net profit of 300 million US dollars is still no problem!

300 million U.S. dollars, equivalent to about 2500 million yuan, this is real money!

The 1000 Chinese miners were fully paid, and their monthly wages were only 300 million RMB, which accounted for less than 15% of this wave of manipulation profits, and the remaining 85% went into Fang Jie's pocket.

But Fang Jie is not a person who is short of money now, and he doesn't like such a small amount of money.

And although the game company will basically not interfere too much with the private transaction of recharge points between players, according to the rules of the game company, private trading of game currency and recharge points is illegal, and there is a risk of being banned.

Fang Jie didn't want to leave a clue to the game company. If he was European, he might turn a blind eye, but once he knew that he was from China, he would dare to do such a big thing, and then sell recharge points on Amazon , that will inevitably become the chicken that kills chickens and monkeys.

So he didn't sell the game recharge point, but he could keep it for himself.

For example, for the 1000 accounts opened and all member accounts under the Legion, all of them have been members for 3 years.

Just like this, it took less than 40 US dollars worth of recharge points, and there was still more than 200 million US dollars to spend.

It doesn't matter if there is no place to spend, then just harvest another wave, anyway, the game is just to play.

At this time, due to the minerals, starships, and star coins that had been hoarded before, as well as the continuous output of Chinese miners, they were sold by Fang Jie in large quantities, causing the prices that had been soaring in the game to begin to plummet again.

Minerals that have already risen to 20 star coins per cubic meter, not to mention being returned to 10 star coins, have continued to fall to 5 star coins, and even dropped to 3 star coins at the lowest point. It can be said that as long as there is mining in the market at this moment Yes, even if there are 2 star coins, some players will still sell the deal directly if they find it troublesome to place an order.

At the same time, due to the time difference and being sold by Fang Jie, those manufacturing numbers that flocked to produce starship equipment in the early stage have all their goods under pressure. It is not impossible to sell them at a low price, but the price is already far below the manufacturing cost.

In the words of the stock market, these guys who follow the trend are locked up. Unless they cut their meat and stop losses, they will have no liquidity on hand, which seriously affects their subsequent production and operation activities.

Another market in the game is the recharge point trading market. At this time, the recharge point also started a reverse trend, from the previous deflation to inflation.

After the recharge point appreciated, the exchange rate with the game currency soared from 1:5000 million to 1:3 million.

At this time, Fang Jie didn't have much game currency in his hands, and all the money was recharge points, more than 360 million recharge points!

If all these recharge points are exchanged for game coins, it will be more than 1000 trillion game coins, which means that 100 trillion game coins have been harvested in three rounds and returned to the hands, which has more than 10 times more!
Of course, this is only theoretical data. After all, the market can’t afford so many recharge points in a short period of time, and continuous shipments will keep knocking down the price of recharge points. In fact, there are not so many.

It's not impossible to do this, it's equivalent to opening a new wave of harvesting mode, but in this way, the game will probably be crashed by Fang Jie, and he will continue to play. One line.

So take out 100 million recharge points and slowly exchange them for game coins. These game coins are used for the internal development and construction of the legion, in case of emergencies.

The other recharge points are left temporarily, this is a hard currency, and will be exchanged after the game currency is used up in the future, and you can use these as capital to sit on the bank at any time, and use the same routine to harvest another wave.

Anyway, foreigners have money, and they operate every one or two months. Apart from causing a little pain to foreigners, it will not hurt the muscles and bones, and it will not damage the game economy too much.

This is Fang Jie’s futures routine operation, which uses game currency, game props, and recharge points as the futures targets. After predicting the market, he conducts three waves of harvesting. He doesn’t even need to cheat or anything, and he can make a fortune casually. It has also earned enough capital for the follow-up operation.

So far, the internal economy of the game on the international server "EVE" has been controlled by Fang Jie to a certain extent. As long as the game company does not intervene, if he wants to make the game economy inflate, he will inflate it, and if he wants to make the game deflate, he will deflate it. Become a financial crocodile in the game.

But how can game companies not interfere?

If Fang Jie keeps going like this, no matter how awesome "EVE" is, as long as he is willing, he can kill and disable the game in minutes.

In fact, as early as when the Chinese miners entered the gaming mines in large numbers, the Icelandic game company had already started to pay attention and started investigations, because many foreign players could not get the mines, and they hated these farmers from China, and made a lot of complaints to the game company Complain that these farmers interfere with their normal game experience.

The game company actually welcomed Huaguo players with both hands at the beginning, and the company's executives were excited about it for several days. They did not expect that the games they produced would become popular in Huaguo, and the number of gamers online suddenly exploded. Nearly 2000 people have been added, and the company's income has also increased significantly. This is definitely a happy event!

However, after receiving a large number of complaints, the game company's attitude gradually changed. Although it is not yet possible to suppress Chinese players, the justice of the game cannot be violated by others, so they began to investigate what these Chinese miners are trying to do.

If it is mining and selling the game currency, and then using the game currency to exchange for cash, then I am sorry, this game does not welcome such brick-and-mortar players. The game agreement clearly prohibits players from conducting private transactions between game currency and real currency, but if It is a normal game activity, and the game company has no right to interfere.

As a result of the investigation, it was found that the Huaguo people were just normal game activities, and all the mines they dug were concentrated in the hands of a player with the ID "niubi". One member is said to be an old beauty.

Well, then continue to monitor this "niubi", as long as he dares to ship, the ban will not be discussed, otherwise it will not be dealt with.

But soon after, the game company discovered that Fang Jie was extremely accurate in predicting the market conditions of the game. Through a series of dazzling financial operations, the game company actually collected a large amount of wealth in a short period of time. The background data showed that other The recharge point of the inventory is as high as 400 million!
This guy is really an awesome talent!
Could it be some economist or genius in the financial industry, or how can this be explained?
While sighing, game companies also began to worry.

Because the prices in the game are like a roller coaster every day, people are frightened to watch, but if this guy makes a move, the entire game market will fluctuate hugely.

This is not good, if he continues to do it like this, it will be a wonder if the game is not ruined!
But the game company has nothing to do with this kind of behavior. They did not violate any game regulations and rules, so there is really no reason to block them.

If it is a game company from other European countries or Citigroup, it may not follow any rules, but Iceland is one of the five Nordic countries. It advertises itself as the embodiment of fairness, objectivity, justice, and morality in ideology. Still can't do it.

Of course, this kind of conscious mentality should also be viewed objectively, and one cannot really think that she is the Virgin.

This is actually related to the summary of experience and route selection after the end of World War II.

The five Nordic countries know that compared with other major countries in the world, such as the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States, Russia, and China, they are only small countries and lack the ability to protect themselves.

What should I do to protect myself?
It can only be left and right.

However, it is easy to be regarded as a fool, with a bad reputation, and it is easy to stand on the wrong team.

Therefore, we uphold an objective and neutral attitude, and build ourselves into a just, moral, and outspoken country. This is the development line summed up by Sweden, a neutral country in World War II.

In this way, they have their own attitude, maintain their independence, and will not pose a serious threat to other countries. Once other countries fight, they can still condemn while declaring that they remain neutral and do not take sides. Participate and reap the benefits of fishing.

Over time, the citizens have formed this self-proclaimed ideology of justice and morality, and are proud of it, but in essence, they are actually trying to survive in the cracks. It is determined by the country's own interests and geopolitics, not the natural mother. Forget that they are descended from pirates, something is buried in the bones.

But then again, it’s good to know some things in your own mind, don’t be foolish and directly expose people’s old background, don’t hit people in the face, since people temporarily regard themselves as the Virgin, as long as it is good for you, it’s rare to be confused chant.

Icelandic Game Company had no choice but to send him a warning letter in the game because they wanted to become a Virgin Mary.

The content is almost to let Fang Jie pay attention to his game behavior, and think that his behavior is suspected of undermining the fairness of the game. The official will continue to pay attention to his game activities. It is not ruled out that some punitive measures will be taken in the future, including but not limited to confiscation of illegal income from the game, Account suspension or suspension.

After reading the warning letter, Fang Jie became unhappy immediately.

What a threat!

If it was an ordinary player, and was threatened like this, he was really worried that he would be banned, and he would definitely behave with his tail between his legs in the future.

But who is Fang Jie?
The richest man in China!

Citigroup friends!

Wolf of Wall Street!
So Fang Jie immediately replied with a more stern letter, saying that he did not violate any regulations and rules of the game, and all actions in the game are reasonable and legal, so this warning letter from the game company is unreasonable, if the game company If he dares to impose any punishment on his account, then the lawsuit must be fought to the end!

How could the Icelandic game company expect a player to be so hard-headed? After reading this letter, the high-level executives were furious and felt very humiliated. Challenge the game company.

So the company conducted a further comprehensive investigation on Fang Jie's game account.

The investigation found that this guy is not so beautiful. The IP address clearly shows that he is from the country of Hua. No wonder the miners in the country of Hua are working for him.

However, being able to call as many as 500 Huaguo miners to work for him obviously shows that this person's identity is not ordinary.

Then the company found a few translators who understand Chinese, entered the game and mixed in with the miners in Huaguo to chat clichés.

In a small country like Iceland, it’s hard to find people who understand Chinese, but the brother country Sweden has a lot of people who understand Chinese, and Sweden is the country with the most sinologists in Europe. In fact, it has a very deep research on China, so these translators All invited are Swedes.

After the Swedish translator entered the game, after some investigation, he learned that "niubi" is played by the richest man in China, and he is still doing live broadcasting of the game!

Fuck it!
It turned out to be the richest man in China!
The richest man in Huaguo is actually nothing, foreigners have never seen the world, but this richest man in Huaguo is not simple, just before financing 51mai, currently ranked ninth in the world's richest list!

Perhaps the surname of ordinary bosses in the world only cares about who is the number one on the rich list, and they don't care about the person who ranks ninth, but there are a lot of rich people in Iceland, especially in the banking industry and finance.

In the previous life, Iceland declared bankruptcy because the country found that the domestic banks were too rich to control, so they simply declared bankruptcy, which shows how developed the financial industry is, so there are naturally many people who know Fang Jie's name. There are several high-level executives in the game company There are still 51mai stocks in hand!

As a result, the Icelandic game company suddenly lost its anger. The richest man in Huaguo and the ninth richest man in the world came to play his own game.

Confiscated game proceeds?
People care about such a little thing?
title?

Believe it or not, if someone sues you and fights against you for 10 years, even if you can't win the lawsuit, it can still drag down your company forever?

Or someone buys your company directly, and then fires all the people involved, from ordinary employees to high-level executives, to the end?
Ordinary wealthy people in Huaguo, the Icelandic game company can ignore them, but this richest man in Huaguo is not an ordinary person, so he really can't easily offend him, otherwise he must be the one who is unlucky.

But if we cooperate, it will be beneficial to both parties. How to choose, do you need to think about it?

As a result, the Icelandic game company's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, and it began to send letters to Fang Jie in various ways, and invited him to visit the Icelandic company.

As for the game... I can only beg him to raise his hand, saying that such a good game, I believe that the richest man in Huaguo does not want to see it go bankrupt. If the richest man in Huaguo needs anything, just say hello and let the technicians help him change the data , stop tossing other players in the game.

Fang Jie couldn't help being speechless for such feedback.

Isn't he playing "EVE" just to find a sense of accomplishment, but people said that they can help him adjust the data, which is very boring. It's better to fight wits and courage. If he didn't know that the other party really wanted to flatter him, he really doubted it. Is it the other party's unconventional means to deliberately disgust him?

In the end, Fang Jie only replied with a short sentence: "Things that are in the game are resolved in the game."
