Chapter 140 The ultimate way to make money!
Sports events have always been a good way to rally people and boost morale.
Among them, football has the greatest influence.
Xu Mu spent a huge amount of money, spending 200,000 to select a site near the River Highway in Gotham City and built a stadium that could accommodate 50,000 people.
For tickets, we chose to sell at a low price and high volume. In order to allow the general public to watch the game without any barriers, the ticket price is set at only 2 gold per game.
If a game like this is full, you can make a direct profit of 100,000 gold!
Of course, don't overwork the athletes.
Play five or six games a day, two hours each, that's enough.
After everything was ready, Xu Mu began to select players personally.
He took a quick look at the many unruly citizens of Gotham City and selected some of those with good physical fitness and sent them to the university town gymnasium for further training.
After returning from his studies, Xu Mu named this Gotham football team Daheng Team with high hopes!
And various publicity and promotion activities were carried out in the city.
After the promotion was almost done, we invited teams from other cities to play the first game!
On that day, the football stadium was packed with people, with nearly 30,000 citizens coming!
The tickets alone sold for 60,000 yuan. The fruits and drinks in the stadium were all produced in their own industrial zone, which consumed a large amount of inventory and made another fortune!
With the competition approaching, Xu Mu is full of confidence.
We have the best elite players!
Have the most abundant capital investment!
With the highest salary in the industry!
Such a Daheng is invincible and unstoppable!
Then, Daheng was beaten 0-8 by the neighboring Niaoyu City.
Citizens tweeted and cursed.
Xu Mu was also numb.
This Chinese national football team is too mysterious. Its aura can even affect the dungeon.
It’s so funny!
The Daheng team was renamed Barcelona overnight.
The names of several main Cs were also changed to Mei Xi, Beli, Neimaer and the like.
When I went on stage the next day, a miracle happened!
Barcelona started to crush the opponent in the true sense!
Not only did it wash away yesterday's shame, but it also crushed the neighboring Bird's Singing City to the ground.
Even in the next half month of high-intensity competitions, he performed extremely well in every game!
Football has also become the pride of the entire Gotham City population.
Once the cohesion is strong, the happiness level will go up.
And after football became famous, the siphon effect attracted a group of citizens to settle in.
Xu Mu was also satisfied and paid the money to bribe the referee.
Thanks to the frequent hosting of football matches, Gotham’s treasury is once again full.
Xu Mu also allocated this fund to universities and museums, spent a lot of money to purchase various world-class paintings, and recruited outstanding talents from all over the country to enroll, exempting them from all tuition and miscellaneous fees.
Finally, the aftermath of being upgraded to a level 5 city has settled down.
It’s time to start seeking real development!
Xu Mu's eyes swept towards the newly unlocked facility [Road Toll Station]
This thing was a powerful weapon for making money violently in the previous life!
Toll booths themselves don’t actually make much money, even if the maximum amount is reached.
Citizens only need to pay 2 yuan when driving through a toll station.
It's only two dollars and doesn't seem to matter.
But what if we build more?
Do what you say!
Of course, toll booths are something that cost too much in the early stages.
One toll booth costs nearly 200,000 gold.
Xu Mu didn’t have the money to build too many, so he could only build four.
However, there are some considerations when it comes to maximizing the profits of the four toll stations.
First, transform the highway intersection entering and exiting the city into an 8-shaped circular viaduct.
Place a two-way toll booth on the tie in the middle of the figure 8.
In this way, from the moment citizens drive into the figure-8 highway, they need to drive over the beltway and arrive at the toll station to pay once.
Then make a big circle, admire the large flower bed in the center, go back to the beltline and pay the toll again.
One car will provide Gotham City with 4 gold of income.
For the remaining three, Xu Mu continued to build an 8-shaped viaduct.
The four Ring 8 viaducts are arranged in order in the four directions of east, south, west and north, forming the shape of a Chinese knot.
So far, the mission is finally accomplished!
If there is a vehicle wanting to go.
First, drive onto East Ring Expressway 8, make a round trip, and pay tolls twice.
Then drive onto the main road of West Ring 8 Expressway, make another circle, and change lanes twice.
Then the South Loop and finally the North Loop to get out of the city smoothly.
This means that you need to pay tolls eight times when leaving the city.
"If they want to go into the city again, they will need to pay 8 more times. A total of 16 tolls will be required for the round trip, and our Gotham City now has a population of one million." Xu Mu annotated his masterpiece.
The players watching the game were already numb.
"God A always finds ways to exploit the people's wealth from angles I never expected..."
"He was able to charge 16 times at four toll booths! He is simply a devil..."
"Hello everyone, I am a citizen of Gotham City. Today I plan to go out of the city for a simple trip. I believe it will be a very pleasant journey! /doghead/doghead"
"I suggest you don't come back once you go out. Don't return. This is not home!"
“I think it can be improved a bit, like putting a toll booth when entering the highway/smirk”
"The guy in front of me is the old city committee member of Gotham City."
Amid the complaints of many players, toll stations also began to methodically extort money from the people along the way.
Gotham City now has a population base of one million, even though the vehicle penetration rate is only 1/10, and only 1/10 of these vehicles need to enter and leave the city.
Every day, tens of thousands of vehicles need to pay tolls 16 times.
The toll is 2 gold per time.
Just by collecting tolls, Gotham City’s daily profit can reach 320,000 gold/day!
Moreover, it is a sustainable development type, unlike the previous Detroit new district, where a batch of leeks made millions of gold, but there was no follow-up.
The high income made the players look envious.
"If my city had one tenth of this income, it wouldn't have gone bankrupt..."
"The gap is too big. I remember that the 4th-level city I managed to survive in had a total revenue of only 2,000 gold a day. A-God's 320,000 gold, this..."
"This doesn't even include the revenue from the football field and the amusement park!"
"Now I finally understand why they can get SSS rating. I will never be able to figure out this operation , Guigui..."
Amid the admiration of the crowd, Xu Mu harvested another round of faith value.
The "Skyline" teaching has accumulated nearly 700,000 points of faith so far!
Once the funding problem is solved, it is only a matter of time before level 5 cities break through to level 6.
And, more importantly.
After solving the watershed pain points of Level 5 cities moving towards Level 6, the subsequent urban development and upgrading will be very smooth.
As Xu Mu said.
It only took him half an hour to upgrade the level 5 city to level 6.
After level 6, talented university graduates begin to give back to the city, and development continues to accelerate!
It took another hour to break through to become a level 7 megacity with a population of 5 million!
Although it was upgraded to level 7, the capital chain encountered a temporary crisis due to the crazy expansion of the city.
However, for a level 7 city, this crisis is no longer a big deal.
Xu Mu only needs to build a large oil factory on a newly developed piece of wasteland in a Type III desert area!
As the lifeblood of industry, oil is a very profitable industry!
In a matter of minutes, Gotham City will become a big city where everyone wears a white scarf and hosts the World Cup every year!
Of course, wearing a white scarf on the head is not auspicious from the perspective of ancient Chinese culture.
Therefore, citizens are not allowed to do anything unlucky.
All the suffering can be borne by the mayor alone.
The moment the oil factory landed.
The figure of 5 million gold per day directly stung the eyes of all the players watching the game.
"What the hell! What kind of income is this?"
"I never even dreamed of this much money..."
“Oh my god, let alone in real life, I can’t even make 5 million gold per day in the game. I’m such a loser, wuwuwu…”
In addition to the players who stared with their eyes wide open, there were also some voices of ridicule.
"Gotham City is really rich now."
"Mijun: what? Oil flowing? where?"
"Gotham City, danger!"
"A nuclear fusion strike has been detected in Gotham City!"
"Enough of the jokes, guys! Stop being so mean! Mijun is still paying tolls to Gotham City. There are 16 toll gates, so it will take a while."
“…”
After glancing across the light screen, Xu Mu retracted his gaze and spoke slowly.
"That's it for the Skyline strategy guide. Now you can see that Gotham City earns 5 million gold a day, which is enough to expand the territory all the way to a level 9 metropolis."
“There are just a few details that need improvement.”
"If you feel that finances are still tight before you upgrade to a Level 6 city, you can consider cutting back on spending and building a few more toll booths."
"There is one last trick, which is used to increase excessive fiscal revenue at one time. However, this trick will seriously reduce the happiness of the residents and cause a large number of people to leave."
"Gotham City is relatively wealthy now. I can give you a demonstration."
When they heard that Xu Mu had hidden something, the players perked up again.
"Oh my god! Is there anything else?"
"No, this feels like the top! No matter how much money I make, can it be more profitable than the oil business that makes 5 million gold a day?"
“Mijun: I don’t believe it! I don’t believe there is a business that is more profitable than oil!”
In order to demonstrate, Xu Mu had to expand his territory again.
It was upgraded directly to a prosperous level 8 capital city in one breath!
As a series of cutting-edge facilities were unlocked, Xu Mu found the option of [Shelter] from among the many unlocked facilities.
A certain amount of money was spent to build hundreds of shelters in a row.
Just when a group of players were wondering what the purpose of building so many air-raid shelters was.
Xu Mu finally spoke.
The sound fell into the ears of the players, as if the devil was whispering in their ears.
"That's right. Our Gotham City has now become the central city of a country, and the people living here are very happy. But as the mayor, we must worry about the people's worries."
"What if our competitors drop nuclear bombs on us? That's when the importance of air-raid shelters becomes apparent."
"However, in order to ensure that this megacity that can accommodate 20 million people can take shelter in an orderly manner when a disaster occurs."
"Therefore, advance drills and warnings on weekdays are also very important."
"We can sound the air raid sirens now to help citizens raise their awareness of prevention. Everyone wait for a moment."
In Xu Mu’s explanation.
From a God's perspective, densely packed residents and vehicles began to rush out of their homes frantically and swarm towards the shelters.
20 million people are like a swarm of locusts passing through a border, flowing endlessly!
Soon, everyone hid in the shelter.
Xu Mu demolished all the intersections connecting to the shelter.
Then we started building the gate to the playground.
Yes, just build the gate.
Twenty gates were built in succession and arranged in an orderly manner in front of the air-raid shelter.
"Wait... wait a minute..." Some players have already realized that something is wrong.
But it was too late.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Mu raised the ticket price at the ticket office at the entrance of each amusement park to a maximum of 2,000 gold per person.
Then, connect the road in front of the air-raid shelter gate with the road in front of the playground.
As a result, the refugee victims had no way to go back and could only go home through the gate of the sky-high priced amusement park.
You have to pay 2,000 gold for each amusement park you pass.
20 amusement parks, a total of 40,000 gold!
Under the stunned gaze of all the players, the roads were connected and the citizens seeking refuge began to rush towards the gate of the amusement park.
Then began an inhumane journey of exploitation, like peeling an onion, being exploited layer by layer.
What shocked the players even more was...
That series of fiscal revenues that cannot be counted!
One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, million, ten million, and hundreds of millions!
It kept rising until it finally reached the upper limit of the dungeon's capacity! It started with the number 9, followed by countless 9s!
It’s sold out!
Xu Mu's action directly blew up the financial system of the copy!
All the players who continued to watch the game widened their eyes and took a few deep breaths.
"hiss!!"
“This is too outrageous!!”
"F*ck!! Can you play like this???"
"This is the first time I've seen a dungeon being blown up directly..."
"You are a devil..."
"I have once again overestimated God A's conscience..."
"Just tell me whether you have learned it or not!"
"My suggestion to Boss A regarding this serious violation of his conscience is... everyone should hurry up and imitate him!"
"Although it's a bit cruel, this idea is absolutely brilliant. Under other circumstances, the citizens would never be mobilized so easily. Using the air-raid shelter as a means of taking refuge, gathering all the people of Gotham here, and then forcing them to pay the toll... This idea is absolutely brilliant!"
"Damn it! If I had one ten-thousandth of the imagination of A-God, would I be a C-level player??"
