Chapter 1949 Currency War

"Everyone!" Michel Camdessus called lightly, attracting everyone's attention.

"I wonder if any of you here have read the book "Currency War"?" Kandesus asked.

Everyone shook their heads in confusion. Not to mention having read this book, I have never even heard of it.

"Mr. Camdessus, are you talking about a book compiled by Chinese author Song Hongbing that introduces the modern history of the West and the history of financial development in the years since the establishment of the Bank of England?" Wu Zhaopu was the only one among the people who had some reaction. After all, he oversees the company's finances. Although he is not as proficient in financial knowledge as Camdessus and Kruger, he still has a certain understanding.

"Yes, it was written by Mr. Song Hongbing from your country. After I came to China, I read this book carefully. This book describes in detail the ups and downs of international financial groups and their spokesmen in the history of world finance. , by analyzing how the elite clubs that rule the world control the flow and distribution of world wealth by inciting political events and inducing economic crises. Although there are many exaggerations and conjectures, it generally gives a relatively complete explanation of what capital is. Economy," said Camdessus.

Everyone was a little confused. Most of the people here are not financial professionals. They can listen clearly to what Kandesus said, but if they want to understand it, it is difficult to explain.

Jidesu looked at the blank expressions on everyone's faces and knew that talking too much about financial knowledge would not only fail to make them clear, but would confuse their minds. You must know that the most complicated thing in the world is finance. Many people spend their entire lives unable to figure out the laws and connections among them.

"Everyone, to put it simply, everything in this world is related to finance. Even in ancient times, it is inseparable from the economy. According to a saying among people in the industry, politics is derived from economics, and war is derived from politics. In other words, Looking at the current wars and regime changes, in the final analysis, the most fundamental reason is the economy and the capital economy." Kandesus said with emotion.

Everyone now understood a little bit.

"So, the "World War" virtual game currency exchange service launched by our company this time will also be an opportunity to move from virtual currency to real currency." Camdessus' eyes were burning.

"An opportunity to make virtual currency equivalent to [real] currency." Kruger also had a look on his face.

Everyone was dumbfounded at this moment. They quite agree with the virtual currency sales model adopted by "War of the Worlds". "World War" is a war game, and war is all about economy. Therefore, it is absolutely feasible to adopt a virtual currency sales charging model. It’s just that Kruger and Camdessus said that virtual currency can be equivalent to real currency, which is incredible. How can this be!

indeed,

Since it is called virtual currency, it is naturally illusory. How can it be the same as real currency if it is not real? Isn’t this ridiculous! But Camdessus and Kruger are not ordinary people. A former president of the International Monetary Fund and a former vice president of the World Bank are both well-known figures in the financial world. They cannot use this matter to fool everyone.

"What? You don't believe it?" Camdesus sighed and shook his head. In fact, not only these people did not believe that even before this, Camdessus himself could not believe that virtual currency could be equivalent to real currency. However, the current circumstances gave Kandesus every reason to believe this. Because all the prerequisites are already in place.

First of all, "Second World" is currently the leader in the online game industry, almost dominating the market, which laid the foundation for "Second World" to launch virtual currency. Secondly, Lin Feng unified the virtual currency of the "Second World" and made it unprecedented for major game currencies to be relatively exchangeable. This in turn lays a solid foundation for the equivalence between virtual currency and real currency.

Also, Lin Feng had previously bundled the "Second Bank" account by purchasing "Dream" and registering for "Second World", so that all registered players in "Second World" would have a "Second Bank" account. This in turn lays a foundation for the equivalence of virtual currency and real currency.

Finally, coupled with the huge popularity of "War of the Worlds" today, it is no longer a dream for virtual currency to be equivalent to real currency. And once the "Second World" opens virtual currency exchange services, Camdessus can predict that "World War" will become a super gold-drawing hole in the "Second World".

War has always been the most expensive and most profitable era.

There are countless countries with plutocrats who rely on their war fortunes. The most typical one is the United States. During World War I, the United States not only sat on the sidelines and watched, but also sold arms on a large scale. In the end, it became the only superpower in the world today. And "World War" is an out-and-out war game. Once we enter the era of technological civilization, I am afraid that wars between countries will be staged every day. And because it is an online game and a virtual war, Lin Feng can make a lot of money through war without any cost. Every time he thinks of this, Kandesus gets excited. He is very much looking forward to whether virtual currency will eventually be equivalent to real currency.

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard Camdessus's detailed explanation. Listening to what Camdessus said, it seemed that all this could come true. If so, what kind of financial monster Lin Feng had created!

"Everyone, don't be too happy. The launch of virtual currency will also face many challenges." Kruger sighed helplessly. These people are all geniuses in game design, but why are they so poor in finance? Simple.

Everyone was stunned. What are the challenges?

"Everyone, don't forget that with this virtual currency exchange service we have launched, players can create gods and exchange them freely." Kruger reminded.

Everyone was still at a loss. Does this make any difference?

Kruger and Camdessus looked defeated by you.

"What do you mean by "free exchange"? That is to say, as long as the player has a second world, a bank account, and has applied for a "World of Tanks" account, he can freely exchange real currency and virtual currency at any time through the game. Exchange. Of course, there is a small handling fee,” Krueger said.

"What does this mean? This means that the originally illusory game currency will have real purchasing power. Especially with the influence of "World War", it will directly impact the currencies of various countries. Don't you understand?" Camdessus patted his forehead and said, "Screaming stupid" is like saying that originally everyone used U.S. dollars for transactions, but both parties were "World War" players and decided to directly use the "World War" game currency to trade instead of giving up U.S. dollars, which had an impact on the U.S. dollar. If this happens Once the number of transactions reaches a certain level, the status of the U.S. dollar will fall, which will affect the interests of the United States and the interests of other countries around the world. Of course, I am just giving an example, and I want to have a real impact on the U.S. dollar. , I’m afraid it won’t be possible in a short period of time, but I can see it, and so can the experts on Wall Street.”

"Once they think that virtual game currency will have an impact on the real currency rate, they will definitely intervene!" Kruger said seriously, "So, we must take precautions."

"Didn't I say that the free exchange service for game currency will be officially launched today? It won't be launched today?" Minwu Yili was a little anxious. There is a lot of discussion about the charging model adopted by "War of the Worlds". The news he announced to the outside world was launched today. If it is not launched today, it would be a breach of trust among players, which would be bad for the company’s reputation.

"Minwu, don't worry. I believe President Camdessus and Vice President Kruger will give you a satisfactory answer." Lin Feng looked at the two of them quietly.

"Minister Li, don't worry, virtual currency exchange services will definitely be launched today. But we must be cautious and make various preparations in advance so as not to follow the facts and give people with ulterior motives an opportunity," Kruger said.

Lin Feng and others looked at Kandesus quietly, waiting for his strategy.

"First," Second Bank, as the main exchange undertaking bank this time, must provide a huge deposit to ensure that the exchange of virtual currency and real currency will not cause a run or fail to exchange. Avoid being attacked by certain organizations or countries. " said Camdessus.

Lin Feng nodded. I have deposited 100 million US dollars in gold reserves in the "Second Bank", which is enough to serve as bank collateral.

"Secondly, the company must find a third-party custodian who will supervise the exchange of virtual currency and real currency, instead of the second world itself being responsible. This can create a god and avoid being accused by other countries of becoming a gangster in "War of the Worlds" A place for money laundering. I have contacted PricewaterhouseCoopers, the accounting firm," Camdessus warned again and again.

If the currency is directly convertible, it will inevitably be targeted by major underground organizations around the world, and it may become a place for money laundering. Money laundering has always been severely cracked down on by various countries. At that time, as long as there is a little evidence, those governments will seize the game and even the company. Given the current jealousy situation in the "Second World", I am afraid that this kind of thing is very likely to happen. Therefore, finding a third-party hosting provider is a must.

"Well, OK, I agree with this. But don't find one. If you want to find one, just hire all the four major accounting firms in the world, so that those who are hiding in the dark and waiting for opportunities to plot against us will have nothing to say." Lin Feng agreed.

"Third, the company must strictly control and supervise "War of the Worlds" and absolutely prohibit anyone from secretly selling it for money. Once this happens, you should be able to imagine the consequences." Camdessus said with a gloomy face.

Everyone nodded. This kind of thing must be stopped. Otherwise, the world would really be in chaos.

"Also, fourth..." Afterwards, Camdessus and Kruger elaborated on ninety-seven pieces of advice or rules regarding virtual currencies. However, no one was impatient at all, because once the virtual currency and real currency were opened for exchange, a little carelessness would be enough to destroy the company, so the more cautious the better.

"Okay, let me tell players that "World War" is officially paid!" Lin Feng stood up and said loudly! ! ~!
