Chapter 9 Does he know something inside?
In "New World", there are many big cities.
These cities are collectively called the main city.
The so-called main city is actually controlled by various forces in the game.
"New World" is a big world where all races are integrated. There are 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, and in the process of conquering and being conquered again and again in the game plot, there will be Many abandoned or sparsely populated cities come out.
These cities, the gods do not want to take care of, but 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.
At the peak of the "New World" online game, the value of an alliance main 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 cease service, many alliances have begun to sell off various assets. There are definitely no players to take over game real estate like cities.
After all, the game is gone, so what’s the use of buying another city?
Do you still expect to come back and play in your dreams in the future?
However, players can sell the cities in the game to some NPCs without buying them, but the bids of these NPCs are very low, but Lin Chen brought one billion gold coins!
When he wanted to buy Tianyue City, the other party was also a player and quite famous in the game. He was the president of Jianghehuhai Guild, Jiang Haihe!
"Chenxi in the forest... Are you the guy who spent a lot of money on colorful eggs and got the red bird?"
Jiang Haihe actually knew Lin Chen and took the initiative to say hello to Lin Chen.
At this time, he was sitting on the city lord's throne in the Tianyue City City Lord's Mansion, but he did not look majestic, but rather a little downcast.
There are several NPCs here, obviously discussing 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, 800 million gold coins will be given to you."
“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. Hearing Lin Chen's explanation for buying the city, he smiled and said, "I'm a passionate guy. This game is about to be discontinued, so why waste money?" , my brothers and sisters must be very passionate about this game... Oh, to be honest, who wouldn’t be passionate about it? You are all young, and you have only been playing for three to five years. I have been playing this game for twenty years since it was launched. Years!"
Listening to Jiang Haihe's words, Lin Chen seemed to hear the sound of his heart breaking.
Jianghaihe.
It is said that in reality he is still the CEO of a listed company and is very powerful.
But he spent twenty years in this game.
The result is 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 planning to destroy his account, right? It's an account that has been in existence for twenty years!"
In fact, after "New World" announced that it would stop serving, many people did go bankrupt. There were a group of businessmen in the game, and there were also a group of people like Jiang Haihe who had invested heavily.
Originally, Lin Chen didn't plan to say anything more. After all, for such a big boss, even if he was about 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 began to ponder.
Didn’t say too 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.
Looking like a loss of only 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, which is 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 all point-blank. 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 again.
【It's this dawn in the forest again, haha... I've been taken advantage of! 】
【Isn't it a pure fool to spend this wasted 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.
The same thing happened when I saw it, either making complaints or ridiculing.
Lin Chen doesn’t care.
However, some people think 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?
One of 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 a chance to ask him!"
Xue Mo was talking to herself.
