"Mr. Xu, we are going to officially start the game, pay attention to keeping our focus."
Shopping guide Xiao Chen suddenly reminded.
"Okay."
"First of all, choose a server. There is no special server in China, so we can choose any server to join."
"What should I do if I can't speak language?"
"Mr. Xu, let's directly choose the No. 86 server in Beautiful Country. There are many Chinese people here and there are no communication barriers."
The purchase guide replied.
"No. A86, right? I've chosen it."
As a result, before he finished speaking, Xu Dong suddenly felt his steps lighter and his whole body seemed to float. At the same time, the picture in front of him instantly turned into a bright starry sky.
It's so beautiful.
After wandering in the starry sky for about seven or eight minutes, a blue planet finally appeared in front of me.
The planet has a strange name, called Earth.
Some of it is somewhat unworthy of its name.
It's probably because the designer's head is cramped!
Immediately afterwards, Xu Dong landed in the central square of a small town.
"Oh hey..."
Xu Dong almost failed to stand firm.
The shopping guide quickly said with concern: "Mr. Xu, are you okay?"
Xu Dong waved his hand: "It's okay."
After standing firmly, he noticed that it was actually dark here, and considering the time difference, it was normal.
Looking around, Xu Dong was a little shocked.
Although the game is less than 70% true, it definitely took a lot of effort to model, and the details were handled very well, revealing excellence everywhere.
At this time, a handsome guy in a suit came over and talked:
"Sir, do you want to buy a house? Whether it is the center of the town or outside the town, I have resources on my hands."
Xu Dong has read the tutorial for beginners, and of course he knows what's going on.
In the game, only by owning a house can you become a formal resident, and you cannot find a place to stay. You can only stay for ten minutes at most, and you will be forced to go offline.
In addition, the Yuan World can buy and sell land and houses freely. Some bigwigs even encircle half of the server's land, which makes many players hate it.
However, in order to take care of the vast number of "proletarians", the official has established a hotel system and paying one day to stay for one day is equivalent to a disguised point card system.
Seeing that the customer was moved, the shopping guide prompted:
"Mr. Xu, you have already deposited 10,000 NZD in your account. It was given to you by our company and you can spend it at will."
It turns out that there are also factors in this regard for the sky-high membership fees.
"Oh, how much is a NZD worth?"
Xu Dong asked casually.
"The New York dollar and the US dollar are a one-to-one exchange relationship, which is almost equivalent to four dollars based on the current exchange rate."
“Can New York coins be exchanged for cash?”
The shopping guide nodded: "Yes, but every time you redeem, the game official will charge a one-percent handling fee."
"Isn't this a disguised gambling?"
Xu Dong said in surprise.
The difference between gambling and gaming is whether you can recycle chips.
"Mr. Xu, I have told you a long time ago that in a sense, the meta world is a real world."
"Wouldn't that G company make a lot of money?"
"It's not that easy. It takes huge costs to operate the game itself. I heard that the Double G company has not yet achieved profitability!"
The purchase guide replied.
"Has the stock market of beautiful countries recovered? I want to buy some shares in their company."
"It recovered last year, but Mr. Xu, the stock of Double G Company is very popular in the market, and it is hard to find now, and I'm afraid it will disappoint you."
"How much is the market value now?" Xu Dong said curiously.
"I just broke the two trillion mark some time ago."
"Dollar?"
The shopping guide nodded: "Of course it's US dollars."
Xu Dong immediately gave up the idea of getting involved and then looked at the "real estate agent" who was still waiting.
"What is the price of land here?"
"It depends on the specific location. The land in the town is usually one New York dollar per square meter, and about three thousand outside the town."
"Ping" is the name of Daxia. Its original meaning should be square inches, which is the smallest unit of land area in the game.
“So expensive?”
"Sir, our A86 area is relatively late. Many popular areas, even in the most remote corners, cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per square meter.
The most expensive area A1 has almost sold the land price to hundreds of thousands, and it has a price but no market. There are many political and business celebrities there, and there are many opportunities to make money."
Looking at the mere 10,000 NZD in the account, Xu Dong had to shake his head: "Can you rent a house here?"
"Uh, sir, there is no 'renting' option in the game, you can choose the official hotel."
When talking about the hotel, the shopping guide took a look at the time:
"Mr. Xu, the time is almost over. Let's go to the hotel quickly. If you don't go, you will be forced to go offline."
...
Half an hour later, Xu Dong followed the shopping guide to a bar. Western society was indeed very open, and the nightlife was exciting.
It's very similar to the American drama scene he's seen.
However, there is no wine sold in the bar, so you can only watch performances.
After all, the taste module has not been developed yet.
It’s not that he doesn’t feel sorry for his own money, Xu Dong quickly rewarded all the 9,990 New York dollars left in the hotel.
It made the dancers scream.
The shopping guide said with a sad look on his face: "Mr. Xu, what you just scattered was my two-month salary."
"It's a pity that you can't collect money, otherwise I'd just forget it for you. I can't take the money away anyway."
Xu Dong doesn't care about the Tao.
"Mr. Xu, if you have an overseas account, you can actually withdraw cash."
"Can the Southern Dynasty account be good?"
The shopping guide shook his head: "Not Amu member states can do it, it is better to have an account of Western countries."
"Actually, there's nothing."
"Mr. Xu, you spent too quickly. There are many places to experience here!"
Xu Dong waved his hand: "No, it's enough to experience these. Don't worry, I'll place an order if you go offline later. Is there enough supply in your store?"
“How many more do you want to buy?”
"Yes, I bought a lot. Can you get a discount in your store?"
"Mr. Xu, we all have clear prices here. Not to mention discounts, there are not even gifts. Please forgive me."
"Well, I want to buy six sets at a time. Do you have enough supplies?"
"Sorry, Mr. Xu." The shopping guide was surprised and happy: "We have an import quota, and we can't just enter as much as we want. I can only apply for one for you temporarily. I'm afraid that the rest will have to queue up."
Xu Dong frowned: "How long will it take to stand?"
"It will definitely arrive within half a year."
"Okay, one unit is one unit."
From this point of view, Lele's information was wrong at the beginning. Not only did he underestimate the price of VR helmets, but he didn't even understand the supply situation.
After completing the order, the two started chatting.
"Xiao Chen, do you think I can directly book the next new area?"
The shopping guide nodded: "It's OK, but the price is a bit expensive."
"How much?"
"It costs about five billion dollars."
"How many? Why is it so expensive?"
"Mr. Xu, Yuan World was created by a beautiful country that has been used by the whole country. It is said that it has also produced a lot of black technology, otherwise it would not be able to support such a large amount of computing power, so good things are of course not cheap."
Xu Dong couldn't help but nodded: "It seems that the foundation of a beautiful country is very thick!"
"I heard that the beautiful country plans to use the 'meta world' to regain the throne of the world'. You have also seen this thing, and it is difficult to not get addicted to it."
"No wonder, no wonder the superiors attach so much importance to it, I thought it was..."
Xu Dong looked amazed.
"Things are not as simple as you think. The water here is deep!" The shopping guide looked mysterious.
"Then why are your company still going to do it?"
"Our company is a state-owned enterprise. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and one's enemy, one will never win a hundred battles. No one knows what this thing will look like in the future."
"Understood."
The shopping guide then added: "Mr. Xu, I suggest you not buy so much land, which will pay a land tax every year."
"Pay taxes? Leave them to Double G companies? Do they have the qualifications to collect taxes?"
"It's not handed over to the Double G company, but to the officials of various countries. The land you buy from the server of the country will have to pay taxes to which country.
There is no reason why the Yuan World is popular all over the world. They are very good at winning people's hearts. After all, they can make money by lying down, and it is difficult for most countries to refuse."
Xu Dong was a little scared when he thought about it carefully. He didn't expect that there were so many circles inside. This was still public information. I don't know how many of them were not disclosed!
“What is the tax rate?”
"If you buy a whole area of land prices, you can buy a land tax of at least 50 million US dollars every year, which is not a joke."
“What if the land appreciates?”
"Mr. Xu, there are many big speculators abroad. They only know how to speculate in their own regions and do not cheap outsiders. You should take it easy!
Besides, this is the home court of beautiful countries. It’s not a matter of trying to deal with you. We can’t fight them unless we set up another battlefield.”
"Xiao Chen, I didn't expect you to know a lot?"
Xu Dongda glanced at the other person with a deep meaning.
"Hehe, you can see that before we started working, we received special training and took relevant courses for more than half a year."
"Are you a college student?"
"Yes, I graduated from Zhendan University and just joined the company last year."
"Awesome!"
Xu Dong gave a thumbs up.
The shopping guide showed a hint of shy expression, but unexpectedly it was restored in the game. Not to mention anything else, this facial capture technique is indeed amazing.
Next, the two wandered along the street.
Time flies very quickly, and then it is time to force the plane off. After all, people are iron and food is steel. I don’t eat for a meal and I’m hungry.
Xu Dong took off his helmet with a tired look on his face.
Although I was just in the game, I had a lot of exercise. Even if I didn’t have time to get off the plane, most people probably won’t be able to hold on for long.
"Mr. Xu, do you want a break?"
Xu Dong nodded: "Okay!"
The shopping guide turned off the machine and led the customer to the next rest area. Xu Dong looked up and found several customers who were signing the contract.
The waiter brought a pot of tea.
The shopping guide immediately poured a cup of tea for the big customer:
"Mr. Xu, you have some tea and take a break first. I'll prepare the contract."
