Chapter 9 Does he know something inside?
Author: Ta Tianqing
In "New World", there are many big cities.
These cities are collectively called main cities.
The so-called main city is actually controlled by various forces in the game.
"New World" is a big world where all races merge. There are also many races in it, such as elves, giants, orcs, undead, etc., and even vampires, werewolves, beast mothers and other elements.
But those in charge of the major cities are the gods in "New World".
But the world is too big.
If there is an imbalance between strength and weakness, there will be oppression and exploitation, and then there will be opposition. Therefore, in addition to the major main cities, many cities have been built. In the process of conquering and being conquered again and again in the game plot, things will happen.
Many abandoned or sparsely populated cities come out.
The gods don't want to take care of these cities, but they have become a paradise for players.
Many alliances or guilds, if they have sufficient financial resources, will purchase a city as their alliance's main city.
When the "New World" online game was at its peak, the value of a main alliance city in it was not cheap. It was comparable to the price of a listed company, which cost about one billion.
But now, with the game announcing that it will stop serving, many alliances have begun to sell off various assets. There are definitely no players to take over game real estate like cities.
After all, if the game is gone, what’s the use of buying another city?
Do you still expect to come back and play in your dreams in the future?
However, the cities in the game can be sold to some NPCs without players buying them, but the bids of these NPCs are very low, but Lin Chen brought one billion gold coins!
When he was about to buy Tianyue City, the other party was also a player and quite famous in the game. He was the president of Jianghehuhai Guild, Jianghaihe!
"Chenxi in the forest...you are the guy who spent unnecessary money on colorful eggs and got the red bird, right?"
Jiang Haihe actually knew Lin Chen and took the initiative to say hello to Lin Chen.
At this time, he was sitting on the throne of the city lord of Tianyue City's city lord's palace, but he did not look majestic, but rather a little downcast.
There are several NPCs here, obviously negotiating the price.
"Hmph, the city I bought for one billion gold coins has dropped sharply and I have lost all my money. But they are still lowering the price and are only willing to pay 300 million..." Jiang Haihe's voice was very dissatisfied. He looked at Lin Chen and said:
"If you want to buy it, I will give you 800 million gold coins."
"Okay, I want 800 million gold coins."
Lin Chen smiled and said: "This is my CP in the game. I want to give her a home in the game. There shouldn't be any more magnificent home than the City Lord's Mansion, right?"
"Ha ha……"
Jiang Haihe was very happy when he saw that Lin Chen agreed to his asking price. When he heard Lin Chen's explanation for buying the city, he smiled and said, "I'm just a lover. This game is about to be discontinued, why are you spending this unjust money? It seems like this is a waste of money?"
, my brothers and sisters must have a lot of feelings for this game... Well, to be honest, who wouldn’t have feelings? You are all young, and you should have only been playing for three or five years. I have been playing this game for two full years from the time it was launched to now.
Ten years!”
Listening to Jiang Haihe's words, Lin Chen seemed to hear the sound of his heart breaking.
Jiang Haihe.
It is said that in reality he is still the CEO of a listed company and is very powerful.
But he spent twenty years playing this game.
The result was so disappointing.
Feeling the sadness of the middle-aged man in front of him, Lin Chen couldn't help but said: "President Jiang is not going to destroy his account, right? It's an account that has been there for twenty years!"
"To be honest, I really can't bear to part with it... But if you can sell something, just sell it! In fact, many people know that I have invested a lot of money in this game, so after the game is stopped this time, my company's stock price
It has been falling, and I will go bankrupt soon." Jiang Haihe said with a wry smile: "I am selling various assets now, as long as I can sell them for money... Look at my equipment, now I have all the equipment.
We’re looking for someone to take over!”
In fact, after "New World" announced that it would stop serving, many people did go bankrupt. There are a group of businessmen in the game, and there are also a group of people like Jiang Haihe who have invested huge amounts of money.
Originally, Lin Chen didn't plan to say anything more. After all, for such a big boss, even if he were to go bankrupt, in reality he was not of Lin Chen's class. If the game hadn't happened to be discontinued, I guess Lin Chen would have wanted to fight with him.
It is difficult to chat in Jianghaihe.
However, seeing Jiang Haihe looking so distressed, Lin Chen couldn't help but say: "Many people say that games are illusions in reality, but for some people who are addicted to games, reality should be illusions, right?"
?I think President Jiang might as well change his mind. If the real company really can’t sustain it, why not just take action? Anyway, you have wealth that ordinary people will never have in their lifetime, so you might as well pursue your dreams in the game."
"Change your thinking..."
Jiang Haihe pondered.
Didn't say much.
Soon Lin Chen quickly handed over the gold coins and completed the transaction.
Tianyue City is his now.
Jiang Haihe spent one billion gold coins when he bought it, but now Lin Chen gave him 800 million.
It looks like we only lost 200 million gold coins.
However, you must know that when Jiang Haihe bought this city, the one billion gold coins were actually one billion in cash!
And now?
800 million gold coins are less than 200,000.
More than just losing money to grandma’s house?
It's no wonder that the stock price of Jiang Haihe's company will fall every day and it will go bankrupt... After all, for a businessman, with such an "investment" in the game, no one will choose to cooperate with him.
Lin Chen's words were also to the point. On the one hand, he was trying to persuade Jiang Haihe to be more open-minded. On the other hand, he was also telling him that as a businessman, Jiang Haihe had lost the trust and respect of others in the business world, and it would be very difficult for him to get back on his feet.
hard.
It's better to just play games happily from now on.
[Announcement: Tianyue City has just completed the transaction, and the current owner of the city is Lin Zhongchenxi.]
A game announcement sounded in the game.
On the World Channel, naturally some people complained.
[It’s this morning light in the forest again, haha... I’ve been taken advantage of!]
[Isn’t it a pure fool to spend this unjust money to buy a city now? 】
[Such a scapegoat is really... By the way, if the boss of Lin Zhongchenxi is here, take a look and see what else you need. If I have anything here, I will sell it to you right away! 】
【……】
Lin Chen was naturally too lazy to watch the World Channel.
It's the same thing when I read it, either complaining or ridiculing.
Lin Chen didn't care.
However, some people think that Lin Chen's behavior is very suspicious... The game has announced that it will be discontinued, and announcements are made every day. However, there are still people investing money in this game. Are they really stupid?
Or, does he have some inside story?
Among these doubters is Xue Mo, the president of Xue Piao Qianli Guild.
"The morning light in the forest... It seems that I have to find an opportunity to ask him!"
Xue Mo muttered to herself.
Chapter completed!
