Chapter 685: Reassurance
Da Piaoliang was humiliated by Umbrella's mecha and had to open the door to trade.
This is extremely shocking to the whole world.
This is because Umbrella is still the size of a company now, and there are many things that cannot be replaced, otherwise it would collapse instantly!
But even so, after Da Piaoliang was humiliated by the mecha and forced to sign the trade agreement, all kinds of roller coaster-like fluctuations immediately appeared.
Silver prices are rising!
Problems arose with the US dollar, which had served as the traditional anchor, and a large number of chain reactions occurred instantly.
Everyone wants to exchange for credit points, but the circulation of silver is quite limited, and most of it is in Umbrella's own hands. Without Umbrella itself releasing it, the crazy demand in the short term directly leads to an abnormal surge in prices!
After all, replacing a system cannot be accomplished overnight. Umbrella has only been around for a few years, and credit points have been around for even shorter times.
In other words, it was Umbrella who personally made an official announcement to stabilize the market, saying that as long as the US dollar could buy what they wanted, they would not reject this kind of settlement for the time being, and only then was the financial order barely maintained.
It's very chaotic, but at least the worst rules are better than no rules.
Moreover, the price of hard currency such as silver skyrocketed without any suspense, and the same was true for credit points.
A large amount of capital tends to be risk-averse, and people are also trying to convert it into credit points for "preservation".
But this process undoubtedly has a global impact.
For ordinary people, the impact of financial changes is far more profound than the previous friction between Umbrella and the Beautiful, because they can really experience it firsthand .
It seems that it will not be over in a short time and it will definitely be a long-term process.
However, due to the surge in "confidence" in "credit points", this trend of replacement may be difficult to change.
The only regret is that currently the only channel for credit points to be exchanged is silver, and US dollars can only be exchanged after buying silver goods. Even if many financial services have opened this service, there are still handling fees.
Silver has become a strategic material, and the largest reserve is in the hands of Umbrella, which means the amount in circulation is quite limited, making a lot of capital that is eager to transfer for risk aversion very anxious.
The quantity is not enough!
They really gathered together to collect silver, and the price of silver soared to the sky on the spot!
There are only so many in circulation, and this is a problem that no one can solve.
At this time, Umbrella also made a corresponding announcement
"In the future, we will choose to pay our inspectors' wages and other business settlements with our company's 'credit points', provided that they comply with local laws and regulations."
When Umbrella's voice came out, it was also eye-opening.
This means that in the future, when Umbrella wants to spend money to buy something, you can ask Umbrella to pay "credit points"!
However, when paying 'credit points', you need to pay taxes and other account information in advance. 'Credit points' payment is not mandatory. If you can pay, you can make a request. If you can't, just continue as before.
This is equivalent to Umbrella actively injecting liquidity into the market, allowing "credit points" to have a tradable "price"!
In addition to Umbrella's payments, salaries, remuneration, etc., which could be converted into 'credit points', Umbrella also announced an update on United World Corporation shortly afterwards.
"Due to the relationship between the alien visitors and the space elevator, the opening of Penglai has been delayed, so the quota for this closed beta test of "Abyss World" will be drawn worldwide. Players in the group stage of the "Starry Sky Cup" will automatically receive a quota, and this quota can be traded."
"Abyss World"!
It’s called a fully immersive game!
You know, the VR platform already feels quite advanced due to the brain-computer linkage. Now the so-called fully immersive games, which are even a level higher than the VR platform, will naturally attract a lot of attention.
This isn't even just a gaming issue; it represents a new technology!
The "aerospace fighter" and "mecha" that Umbrella had brought out before had already made everyone drop their jaws.
The handsome young man paid for this with tears!
Umbrella's technological reserves are obviously deeper than they appear.
Without giving everyone time to digest the news, Umbrella and World Corporation jointly issued an announcement.
“This game is a groundbreaking game. The optimization of the server and intelligent NPCs will occupy a large amount of computing power of Red Queen and supercomputers. Game updates will also continue to squeeze out new computing power, so this will be a 'only' fully immersive game that will operate for at least ten years or even longer.
"In order to keep the game running smoothly, daily tasks will be opened in the Abyss World, rewarding 'credit points', which will also be the only universal currency in the game..."
The announcement was brief, but it gave people a sense of shock and grandeur.
What's this?
It doesn't cost money to play games, but you can actually get paid for them?
In addition to the alma mater which had known about it for a long time, some other forces also vaguely understood the purpose of this.
Umbrella's strength grew explosively as the machine tools they acquired arrived and began to be controlled by artificial intelligence!
See what they came up with?
Mass projectors, robots, mechs and even space elevators!
There is no need to mention the efficiency of robots. Just look at the speed at which the space elevator can be assembled in orbit; this is an efficiency that is impossible to achieve with human power.
Under the coordination of artificial intelligence, the connection between robots is precise to the second without wasting any time.
Some factories that have begun to replace robots can fully experience this!
Therefore, with the gradual popularization of robots, the world will usher in an era of super-explosive production capacity.
Under such circumstances, launching a game that gives out money can definitely be a product that can stabilize the market.
It can hold everyone like a pocket! It becomes a huge reservoir!
In reality, you can also make purchases with the money given out in the game, or by reselling some equipment or doing some game intensive work!
Consume that huge amount of products.
Look, it’s spinning again to complete the cycle?
By then, by controlling the income from daily tasks within the game and the current price of silver, it will be easy to maintain the stability of credit points without worrying about over-issuance or insufficient liquidity.
If Da Piaoliang hadn't had her head pressed to the ground by the mecha, she might have done something weird even if she had noticed the problem.
Because they already have a set of measures to control the situation through means such as banned items, and they have long been seriously deindustrialized.
It is easy to imagine what kind of trouble it would cause.
But now, after being knocked on the door by the Umbrella mecha, "Open the door, Umbrella!", they could only express their support.
"This is definitely a move that benefits all of humanity! We look forward to the release of the game, and we at Da Piaoliang will do our best to promote it."
The beautiful speaker who signed the White House Alliance had no intention of resigning and directly spoke on a certain platform to congratulate.
It was as if the person who gave a speech in front of the White House with the mecha as the background was not him.
All players around the world, even some people who don’t usually play games, are paying close attention to "World of Abyss" at this time.
How much money will be given for daily work?
The currency used in the game is all in the form of 'credit points'? Is this a big deal?!
Although there have been many big moves recently, from the upcoming arrival of aliens to Umbrella's space elevator, and then to the sudden appearance of mechas, they are really one wave after another.
But for ordinary people, what they are more concerned about is the terrible financial turmoil after this blow, as well as a little worry and confusion about the future.
Once there is a problem with "confidence", it can easily lead to a series of vicious cycles.
Now Umbrella is injecting "confidence" into the market.
Don't worry, we at Umbrella have your back!
Umbrella has demonstrated the powerful efficiency of robots, and after seeing this, many people realized that they cannot compete with robots.
But now, at least you can make money by playing games. Even if the worst happens, there is still a way out. This gives many people peace of mind!
In fact, if we just look at the interests and rule, Umbrella is actually losing money by doing this, but it is obvious that for Wang Yi, the stability and prosperity of Blue Star is the biggest win!
