My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 514

"Mr. Xu, we are about to officially start the game, pay attention to maintain the center of gravity."

Shopping guide Xiao Chen suddenly reminded.

"Okay."

"First choose a server. There is no dedicated server in China. We can choose any server to join."

"What about the language barrier?"

"Mr. Xu, let's directly choose the No. 86 server of the beautiful country. There are more Chinese people here, so there is no communication barrier."

The shopping guide replied.

"No. A86, right? I've chosen it."

As a result, Xu Dong suddenly felt his footsteps lighten, 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 just too beautiful.

After wandering in the starry sky for about 8 minutes, a blue planet finally appeared in front of my eyes.

The planet has a strange name called Earth.

Somewhat misnomer.

It is estimated that the designer's head is cramping!
In the next second, Xu Dong landed on the central square of a small town.

"Hey hey..."

Xu Dong almost lost his footing.

The shopping guide quickly asked concerned: "Mr. Xu, are you okay?"

Xu Dong waved his hand: "It's okay."

After standing still, he noticed that it was actually dark here, which was normal considering the time difference.

Looking around, Xu Dong was somewhat shocked.

Although the game's authenticity is less than [-]%, the modeling definitely took a lot of thought, and the details are handled very well, revealing excellence everywhere.

At this time, a handsome guy in a suit came over to talk to him:
"Sir, do you want to buy a house? Whether it's in the town center or outside the town, I have resources at hand."

Xu Dong has seen the novice tutorial, of course he knows what's going on.

In the game, you can only become an official resident if you have a house, and if you can't find a place to stay, you can only stay for 10 minutes at most, and you will be forced to log off.

In addition, the metaworld is free to buy and sell land and houses, and some bigwigs have even circled 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 government has set up a hotel system, paying for one day to stay for one day, which is tantamount to a disguised point card system.

Seeing the customer's heartbeat, the shopping guide quickly reminded:
"Mr. Xu, [-] New Zealand dollars have been pre-stored in your account, which was given to you by our company, and you can spend it as you like."

It turns out that the exorbitant membership fee also has this factor.

"Oh, how much is a New Zealand dollar worth?"

Xu Dong asked casually.

"The exchange rate between the New Zealand dollar and the US dollar is one to one. According to the current exchange rate, it is almost equivalent to four dollars."

"Can New Zealand dollars be converted into cash?"

The shopping guide nodded: "Yes, but every time you exchange, the game official will charge a [-]% handling fee."

"Isn't this gambling in disguise?"

Xu Dong said in surprise.

The difference between gambling and games lies in whether the chips can be recovered.

"Mr. Xu, I told you a long time ago, in a sense, the metaworld is a real world."

"Didn't the double-G company make a lot of money?"

"It's not that easy. Operating the game itself requires huge costs. I heard that Double G has not yet achieved profitability!"

The shopping guide replied.

"Has the stock market in Pretty Country 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 now it is hard to find. I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

"How much is the market worth now?" Xu Dong asked curiously.

"It just broke the two trillion mark some time ago."

"Dollar?"

The shopping guide nodded: "Of course it is US dollars."

Xu Dong immediately dismissed the idea of ​​meddling, and then looked at the "real estate agency" who was still waiting.

"What's the price of the land here?"

"It depends on the specific location. The land in the town generally costs about [-] New Zealand dollars per square meter, and about [-] New Zealand dollars outside the town."

"Ping" is the abbreviation of Daxia. Its original meaning should be square feet, which is the smallest unit of land area in the game.

"Why is it so expensive?"

"Sir, our A86 district opened the server relatively late, and many popular districts, even the most remote corners, cost tens of thousands per square meter.

The most expensive district A1, the land price is now almost hundreds of thousands, and there is no market for the price, where there are many political and business celebrities, and there are many opportunities to make money. "

Looking at the mere [-] New Zealand dollars on the account, Xu Dong could only shake his head: "Can you rent a house here?"

"Uh, sir, there is no option of 'renting a room' in the game, you can choose an official hotel."

Speaking of the hotel, the shopping guide glanced at the time:
"Mr. Xu, it's almost time. Let's go to the hotel quickly. If we don't go, we will be forced to go offline."

……

Half an hour later, Xu Dong followed the shopping guide into a bar. Western society has always been very open, and the nightlife is lively.

It was very similar to the scenes of American dramas he had seen.

But the bar does not sell alcohol, you can only watch the show.

After all, the taste module has not been developed yet.

Sure enough, it wasn't his own money that didn't feel bad, Xu Dong quickly tipped all the remaining NZ$90 from the hotel.

Provoking the dancers to yell.

The shopping guide said with a distressed face: "Mr. Xu, what you just gave away is my two months' salary."

"It's a pity that you can't collect money, or else you might as well forget it, and I can't take the money with me anyway."

Xu Dong didn't care.

"Mr. Xu, if you have an overseas account, you can actually withdraw cash."

"Is the Nanchao account okay?"

The shopping guide shook his head: "Even if you are a member of the Asian Mutual Exchange, it is better to have an account in a Western country."

"Come on, just not."

"Mr. Xu, you are spending too much money too fast. There are still many places to experience here!"

Xu Dong waved his hand: "No, it's enough to experience these things. Don't worry, I'll place an order when you go offline later. Is there enough supply in your store?"

"How many sets do you want to buy?"

"Yes, I buy a lot, can you offer a discount in your store?"

"Mr. Xu, our prices are clearly marked here, not to mention discounts, and there are no gifts. Please forgive me."

"Okay, I want to buy six sets at a time, do you have enough supply?"

"Sorry, Mr. Xu." The shopping guide was surprised and delighted: "We have import quotas, and we can't import as much as we want. I can only apply for one for you temporarily, and I'm afraid the rest will have to queue up." .”

Xu Dong frowned: "How long will it take?"

"It will definitely arrive within half a year."

"Okay, one at a time."

From this point of view, Lele’s original information was wrong. Not only did he greatly underestimate the price of the VR helmet, he even failed to figure out the supply situation.

After finishing the order, the two began to chat.

"Xiao Chen, do you think I can directly book a new district?"

The shopping guide nodded: "Yes, yes, but the price is a bit expensive."

"how much is it?"

"It's about $5 billion."

"How much? Why is it so expensive?"

"Mr. Xu, the Yuan World was created by the efforts of the beautiful country and the whole country. It is said that a lot of black technology has been produced. Otherwise, it would not be able to support such a large computing power. Of course, good things are not cheap."

Xu Dong nodded involuntarily: "It seems that the foundation of the beautiful country is very solid!"

"I heard people say that the beautiful country plans to use the 'Yuan World' to regain the world's number one throne. You have seen this stuff, and it's hard not to be addicted to it."

"No wonder, no wonder the higher-ups attach so much importance to it, I thought it was..."

Xu Dong was amazed.

"Things are not as simple as you think, the water here is deep!" The shopping guide looked mysterious.

"Then how does your company pay back?"

"Our company is a state-owned enterprise. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will win a hundred battles. No one knows what the future will look like with this thing."

"understood."

The shopping guide then added: "Mr. Xu, I suggest that you don't buy so much land, which requires land tax every year."

"Pay taxes? Hand over to Double G Company? Are they eligible to collect taxes?"

"It's not handed over to the Double G company, it's handed over to the officials of various countries. The land you bought on the server in that country will have to pay taxes to that country.

The reason why the Yuan World is popular all over the world is not without reason. They are very good at winning people's hearts. After all, you can make money while lying down, and it is difficult for most countries to refuse. "

Xu Dong thought carefully and was terrified. He didn't expect that there were so many circles in it. This is still public information. I don't know how many have not been made public!
"What is the tax rate?"

"One percent of the land price, if you buy an entire large area, the annual land tax alone will be at least 50 million US dollars as a base, this is no joke."

"What if the value of the land goes up?"

"Mr. Xu, there are many big speculators in foreign countries. They only speculate in their own region, and they won't take advantage of outsiders. You'd better take it easy!

Besides, this is the home court of the beautiful country. It's not a matter of twitching your fingers if they want to mess with you. We can't fight them unless we open another battlefield. "

"Xiao Chen, I didn't expect you to know a lot?"

Xu Dongda looked at the other party meaningfully.

"Hey, you can see that before taking up the job, we have received special training and have taken relevant courses for more than half a year."

"Are you a college student?"

"That's right, I graduated from Aurora University and just started working last year."

"awesome!"

Xu Dong gave a thumbs up.

The shopping guide showed a shy expression. He didn't expect it to be restored in the game. Not to mention anything else, this facial capture technology is really good.

Next, the two wandered along the street.

Time passed quickly, and then it was time for the mandatory disembarkation. After all, people are iron, and food is steel. If you don’t eat a meal, you will feel hungry.

Xu Dong took off his helmet with a tired face.

Although just in the game, the amount of exercise is not small. Even if there is no mandatory time to get off the plane, the average person may not be able to last long.

"Mr. Xu, do you want to take a break?"

Xu Dong nodded: "Okay!"

The shopping guide turned off the machine and led the customers to the rest area next door. Xu Dong looked up and found several customers who were signing contracts.

The waiter brought a pot of tea.

The shopping guide immediately poured a cup of tea for the big customer:

"Mr. Xu, take a sip of tea and take a break. I'll prepare the contract."

"Okay, go get busy!"

Xu Dong nodded.

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
