Chapter 622: Swarming in
The conference room looked very simple. There was not even a dedicated conference table. A group of people were either standing or sitting around the sofa.
Many people were lighting cigarettes or smoking cigars, making the scene smoky.
It was obvious that the expressions of this group of people were very solemn, and many of them could even be described as ferocious, and some of them spoke with heavy emotions in their tone.
"Lawless! Lawless!"
"How dare they!"
"Damn it, we are just a company, what right do we have? Since they are relying on Mexico, we will just push them over!"
"us……"
“That’s enough!”
As a group of people continued to criticize, they stopped temporarily with a loud laugh.
An old man sitting in a wheelchair but apparently still in good spirits glanced around.
Although his hair was completely white and he looked very old , he still seemed to have considerable authority at the scene.
If someone who knows this group of people shows up here, they will find that they are the decision-makers of some of the top banks, as well as several people from the Federal Reserve and the International Monetary Fund.
Just stomping your feet can shake the world economy.
The reason they appeared here at this time was not because of the financial system problems that broke out after the invasion of New York by the Great Beauty, nor was it because of some disposal related to Japan and South Korea.
It's simply the new 'credit point' system introduced by Umbrella.
They can feel the threat from this system!
This threat is far greater than the threat posed by other currencies to the US dollar!
Because it controls food, is tied to major resources such as minerals, and has oil, the US dollar has always occupied a very important proportion of international currency.
A portion or even a large portion of the money earned by everyone in the world is taken away by Da Piaoliang.
Although it seems that the euro accounts for a large proportion on the surface, in fact, the high proportion of the euro is more due to its internal circulation use in the EU and the large volume of transactions related to the EU.
In terms of real liquidity, the US dollar still occupies an important position.
The US dollar once brought down the British pound, so they know what is a threat and what is not.
The sudden credit points, even if they are only a "point" for the time being, have already demonstrated enough threat and resilience!
In fact, for capital, it does not mean that it must be tied to Da Piaoliang.
But just like the relationship between the organization and Da Piaoliang, at present, the entanglement is too deep, and they will prosper together and suffer together.
Therefore, we can still reach consensus on some major directions.
It’s just that when it comes to one’s own interests, other different choices and actions will appear.
The same is true for this group of bankers.
The assets they hold are all US dollar assets, and they cannot accept the impact of the challenge to the US dollar!
That’s why when Da Piaoliang targeted Iraq, it was able to pass it so quickly and easily put aside its internal conflicts.
If Umbrella distributes the benefits of "credit points" and everyone shares the fruits, then perhaps some emerging chaebols and high-tech groups will express their support in return.
However, Umbrella used to often do some fruit-sharing, but since it has grown strong and shown its fangs, it has rarely made any concessions!
"We can't even solve all our own problems right now. We need to gather allies first, and try to win over other parties if possible. Challenging the existing order will come at a price."
The old man in the wheelchair tapped the ground with his cane and seemed very calm.
This matter cannot be rushed. Umbrella is not Iraq. We must take a long-term view...
…
Regardless of the various parties meeting in secret.
Anyway, after Umbrella proposed the new "credit point" mechanism, many people who had silver on hand or were obsessed with buying robots also chose to redeem their points for "credit points".
However, under the control of Umbrella's own silver reserves, the price of silver did not skyrocket.
Because the things that can be exchanged for "credit points" are all things that Umbrella already has, and the circulation of silver will eventually return to its own hands anyway, Umbrella's control over "credit points" and silver is almost infinite at this stage.
No one is stupid enough to speculate on the price of silver at this time.
The wave of speculators that were killed by Umbrella before are still here.
A new wave of sales of robots and VR platform equipment has once again prompted many people to start live broadcasts to show off their products.
Especially the current "Star World", the super control performance, graphics and the interactivity of NPC upgrades are really addictive.
The immersiveness of VR mode completely beats all other products!
Even some people who didn't play games at first have started to get in touch with it because of VR platform technology.
After all, the scenery in "Starry Sky World" is quite good. There are limited games on the platform now, so naturally, many of them enter "Starry Sky World".
This formed the second period of rapid growth of players.
Because the VR platform itself is open source, major game manufacturers have also announced that they will enter the VR platform and develop their own games.
At present, it seems that the research and development capabilities are indeed incomparable, and it is very difficult to catch up with "Star World".
But the problem is that not everyone likes this type of game. They can seize the market of other casual games!
In addition to game companies, many software companies have also expressed their willingness to develop corresponding application software to join the VR platform.
This VR platform can also be connected to mobile phones.
In other words, it is very likely that people who wear Bluetooth headphones when going out in the future may switch to wearing a VR device on their heads!
The tide of the times is rolling forward, and if you don’t want to be left behind by the times, you must adapt.
How many software service providers were eliminated because they failed to adapt to mobile devices in a timely manner?
This will most likely be the case in the future!
The previous holographic bracelet platforms were bound to mobile phones and could only be regarded as derivative products of smartphones. However, the current VR platform is completely different!
“We will build the concept of ‘metaverse’ on the VR platform and create our ‘metaverse’ community! Let this place become a real second world!”
A certain book claims to be the founder of Lizard Man and also issued a deafening cry.
What's more, he went even further and simply changed the name of his company to "Metaverse".
In fact, he already had some ideas, but the hardware equipment was not up to the task before. Now, after seeing this VR platform, all his ideas were connected immediately.
No matter what impact the "credit points" may bring, for these capitals, no matter whether there is an organization behind them or the big beautiful authorities, they will inevitably flock in for their own interests.
Many companies and groups, including a certain song, a certain fruit, a certain feature, a certain tube, etc., have announced their plans one after another.
The same is true in China. Except for Penguin, which obtained the interface in advance, other Internet companies are no exception!
Umbrella and World Corporation only need to hold the VR platform, and the more developers enter, the better. They can all contribute to the VR platform and operate their own part, saving Umbrella and World Corporation's energy.
Apart from the gaming aspect that Wang Yi values, the platform only needs to formulate rules and collect taxes for everything else.
Oh, it’s a unique technology, a unique platform. It’s already a great mercy for us to let you in. But if we don’t even collect taxes, do you really think of this as charity?
And when the time is right, all consumption and transactions on the VR platform will be priced in "credit points".
The taxes paid must also be in the form of 'credit points'...
