280 Big Projec (2/2)
Fearless replied in disgust, ”What's the hurry, can't we go back first? What a shameful bunch…”
”Then let's hurry up and go back! Now!” Ming Du ranted.
The teleportation formation between friendly guilds were interconnected, the Quan Zhen Sect squad went back to their headquarters shortly.
”Money! Money! Money!”
Wang Yu and the rest all sat down in excitement, while waiting for Fearless to distribute the money. Fearless laughed, ”I have a big project planned, I wonder if you guys are interested?”
”Project? What project?” The rest asked in confusion.
”A project that could increase the value of your money!” Fearless smirked.
”Dont f*ck around, its not like you can turn silver into gold in the game.” Ming Du was uninterested.
Fearless replied, ”I'm gonna ignore you. Do you guys know that the game would start running officially in two weeks?”
”We know that, so what?” Ming Du asked.
Spring Halo paused briefly, and then added, ”Once it starts running officially, it would start the gold conversion service…”
”Yes!” Wang Yu nodded. As one of the richest gold merchant in game, Wang Yu had discussed this with Frost Blade before.
”What's the exchange rate again?” Fearless turned to Frost Blade and asked.
”It's 100 dollars for 1 gold, and the exchange only works one way.” Frost Blade said.
At this point in time, everyone was smart enough to know what was going on.
Currently, the exchange rate is 950 dollars to 1 gold, after the game starts officially, people could purchase gold from the official website. By then, it would be 10 times cheaper to buy gold.
As such, the value of gold in game would depreciate tremendously. It would be possible to buy 1 gold at 90 dollars on some trading sites. Any amount of gold would be meaningless at that point in time.
The game company could be blamed for this economic crisis, but the players could not do anything, because the exchange rate was published on the official website since a long time ago. The reason why gold was so expensive now, was because the supply could not catch up with the demand. The developers had yet to explain for that.
It could be said that a game that did not make money, was a bad game.
Seeing that everyone was deep in thoughts, Fearless said, ”Now everyone gets it! In half a month's time, all the hard earned gold you had would be 10% of its current value..Hence..the richer you are now, the more you'll lose later…”
Everyone looked at Wang Yu simultaneously as Fearless spoke.
Wang Yu had over 20 000 gold, and once the game started running officially, Wang Yu would lose 18 million dollars.
In this era, that was enough money for someone as goalless as Wang Yu to enjoy the rest of his life in comfort with his wife.
”What should we do then?” Wang Yu experienced poverty before, and knew the pain. Upon learning that his hard earned money was about go south, he started panicking as well.
