Games Survive Without Boundaries
The Economic Crisis 6


Stay up all night.


Jinshi thought about it all night, and finally found a solution - credit cards cash out and pay off the daily payment amount! As for what to do later, he could not care too much.


So after dawn, he came out with his credit card.


It's just that when you first get into the game, there are some NPCs who help cash out. When he was in a hurry to spend money and search for people, he was unable to find the target NPC.


After spending half an hour in the business district, he finally found his target!


Jinshi stepped forward and explained directly, "I need a credit card to cash out."


Who knew the man shook his head regretfully, "Brother, you're late."


“What do you think?” Jin Shi was feeling tense.


"Now the economy is in recession, and all walks of life are short of money. Bank checks are very strict, and there's no way to cash in." The man was scattered and looked helpless. "If you come one day early, I can help you find a solution. Now……"


The man continued to shake his head, meaning he had nothing.


Jin Shi realized that the big event was no good. In real life, despite the economic crisis, credit cards can be cashed. While it is not a good thing to knock down the east wall and repair the west wall, at least it can respond to emergencies.


Anyway this is a game. If the person in front of him does not lie, perhaps the rigid system rules do not allow cash payments after the 10th day of the game.


Thinking of this, Jinshi's skin darkened the bottom of the pot, and she felt almost dead.


Sitting down, he asked, "I can't cash out, can I continue to use my card for shopping?"


Hearing that, the person's expression instantly became strange. He sighed softly, and said in an earnest voice, "Brother, listen to my advice, now the economy is not good, just playful. You have to pay back the money you owe. It's not a golden rain, just use it ..."


Before he finished speaking, Jin Shi grabbed the other collar and interrupted rudely, "Don't talk too much, answer my question!"


If there was another solution, he would not need to drink poison to quench his thirst. Was he not forced to think of a way?


The man was surprised, and it took him a long time to regain consciousness, and replied with great difficulty, "... I can swipe the card to shop."


After getting the answer he needed, Jin Shi loosened the other party's collar and rushed to the apothecaries the portable warehouse had run out. If he did not swipe his cards to hoard, his physical strength would be gone in four hours!


Jin Shi finally heaved a sigh of relief as he swiped his card to buy medicine worth 2,000 bembs. It didn't take long before his brows frowned again. The more debt he had, the more he owed, and he could not pay by working alone!


After thinking about it, he felt that only theft, robbery, kidnapping, and other unfortunate transactions could help him get rid of his current predicament.

After breakfast, Zhong Rui asked calmly, "What are you going to do next?"


With money in his pocket, he was full of confidence no matter what he did.


Su Han was a little depressed, "I considered selling cheap wholesale lipstick on the street, but now I don't think it's necessary."


During the economic crisis, there was a very interesting economic phenomenon called the "lipstick effect". This means that every time the economy is experiencing a recession, lipstick sales will increase sharply. The underlying principle is that an economic recession will significantly lower people's income. With strict conditions, people still have a strong desire to consume and will switch to buying cheaper products.


In addition, the burden of life is huge, and people need to relax from time to time to relieve stress. Therefore, when the economy is in recession, the box office movie business and the gaming industry are usually very hot.


It's just that in the current game, the system will probably skip the intermediate process if it's a bit difficult, and go straight into the final stages of the economic crisis, leaving citizens unable to eat. In this way, it is difficult to know if the lipstick is selling well. Coupled with the fact that small pairs carry a large amount of money, there is no need to take risks.


"How about going to the trading market together? Go to the casino to play a few more after that." Zhong Rui suggested.


Su Han looked to the side, "Didn't it say that the portable warehouse is already full? Can it still be filled?"


Zhong Rui replied seriously, "In the latter part of the economic crisis, asset prices will fall sharply. I was planning to buy some gold jewelry and hoard it, so I ordered a place." What if he tries to play next time, continues to use this account? It is always good to keep more.


Su Han was silent. He said in his heart that next time in the game, even if others continued to play the existing game characters, Zhong Rui would have to change his account. With an inventory store, what else can I try? Destroy the copy directly!


After thinking about it, he agreed, "Let's go shopping."

Zhang Jing took a sip of mineral water, his brows were full of anxiety. It had been three days since he was fired by the bakery.


Initially, he was very arrogant and scolded boss Zhang for not knowing the item. Since he was laid off, he would take the opportunity to move to a better job, not at all doing so with a daily salary of less than 150 bei.


But just one day later, the expenditure required for food, drink, housing and transportation and the daily repayment of 120 shells erased his arrogance.


Zhang Jing could not help but think, even if his daily salary was a little lower, at least find a job to deal with it. He had a small deposit, only 800 bei, which would definitely not last a few days. If he could repay the loan then it would be much easier. If he wanted to change jobs or change jobs, he would follow suit.


But he soon discovers that although he lowered his expectations, he was unable to find a suitable job. Many bakeries tell him that there is no shortage of manpower and there is no need to rent for now. So he could only finish one house and try his luck in another.


Finally, Zhang Jing found a bakery that lacked staff. But the other party said that they only needed a cheap internship with a daily salary of 60 bei, and they also needed overtime and endurance.


Zhang Jing's eyes were black and he was unwilling to accept it, but there was no other way. All the shops looking for work seem to have a uniform caliber. They all said that the business was bad lately. Not only do they not want to hire people, they even want to lay off employees.


In desperation, he could only grit his teeth and agree to an apprentice. After all, it could be considered a job.


However, Zhang Jing could not stop the bleeding in his heart. With a salary of 60 shells a day, after covering the cost of living, there was basically nothing left. The daily payment amount must still be withdrawn from the deposit.


But not a lot of savings, once he spent it all, he was unable to pay his debt!


At this moment, Zhang Jing was extremely annoyed. If he was never in debt, a daily salary of 60 bei was enough for him to live a good life and save some money every day.


If he had saved up a lot of money in the past, he could pay off his debt at once without any worries.


But he didn't do anything.


The more he thought about it, the more anxious it became, Zhang Jing finally lowered his shoulders, regretful.

At the villa, Zhang Yong, the richest man in the city, was looking through the reports of the operations of the shops under his name.


Assistant Zhou reported the situation with a poker face, "Daily sales of shops have dropped 40% -70%, and profitability has plummeted. Two of these stores even suffered losses, and the situation was not optimistic."


After reading the operation report, Zhang Yong thought hard, and then quickly made a decision, "The loss-making shops will be closed directly, and the remaining stores will reduce their production by 70%, he said%, while reducing all unnecessary costs."


Reduce all unnecessary expenses ... Assistant Zhou immediately agreed and nodded, "I understand."


Zhang Yong said slowly, "In the current state, survival is the most important thing."


After a pause, he asked again, "How much cash do you have?"


Assistant Zhou reported a number and reminded with a blank face, "Lately, the prices of various assets such as land, houses, stocks, etc continue to decline, and the number of books of your personal assets is also shrinking."


Zhang Yong didn't really care, "It's only temporary. After the economic winter, asset prices will return to normal levels. Remember to help me keep an eye on market trends, and once a high-quality asset at a low price comes up, buy it right away."


“Ya.” Assistant Zhou simply replied.


After giving the order, Zhang Yong showed a calm and satisfied smile. He whispered to himself, "After this winter, I will become richer."


Saving cash while down is the peace of the rich.

On hearing the wave of pay cuts and unemployment, Su Han already realized that the situation would not be too good. Only after walking out of the starry hotel did he find that the situation was worse than expected.


Some residents could not afford the rent and had to move out of their homes and live on the streets.


During normal business hours, a lot of pedestrians are running around the street with anxious faces, they are obviously fired and have not found the next house.


The store was empty, and only one or two customers would enter in twenty or thirty minutes. They often leave the store without buying anything.


Some people start selling valuables at home in exchange for cash and buy food and water.


Zhong Rui bowed to ask for a price, and quickly shook his head regretfully, "The current price is high."


Su Han was not surprised. He thought that when mountains and rivers ran out and many people wanted to cash in gold and silver jewelry to buy food, that was a good time to buy.


"Next to go to the casino?" Ask.


"En." Zhong Rui had made plans long ago, "getting more money and be calmer while sweeping things."


Su Han thought that if the casino went bankrupt, it must be because it met Zhong Rui ...


The two were about to go to the casino, but saw a masked man riding a motorcycle and grabbing a pedestrian bag. Then step on the gas pedal and run away.


The robbed young lady slumped on the ground, covered her face and cried, "That bag is a brand! I want to exchange it for money, why get robbed ?!"


In the face of an existential crisis, moral corruption and order collapse so quickly. Su Han was so frightened that he could not help his vigilance.


Zhong Rui naturally grabbed the hands of his little partner, and said, "Too easily seen when we walk alone. We hold hands and prove that we are in one group, and most people don't dare to come."


Su Han looked to the side and said that if anyone were to stare at them, it would be very unlucky.


But thinking so, she did not let go and let her little partner lead her.

At the office of Jinjiang Group, the air pressure has never been lower. The staff lowered their heads, tapping the keyboard hard, pretending that they were working hard.


Li Yue's face was expressionless, especially speechless. The two were tied up in the first place operating Tiantianshen, he was already used to it, however, just ignore it. Unexpectedly, there were no fuel-efficient lights among the 20 trial players!


Either he is adept at doing business and earning money early to pay off his credit card debt or he never thinks of swiping his cards and is determined to find another way to get rich; he is; or roughly solve a situation and resolve a crisis in an unexpected way.


Li Yuemu asked with a face, "That guy is Jinshi, isn't it? Early judgments are wrong, people are in debt and piling up?"


“Ya.” The requested staff member lowered his head, and his voice was extremely soft, as if he was afraid of stimulating the sensitive nerves of his superior. “After learning that the credit card cannot be withdrawn, he spent 2,000 bullets on drugs and 1,000 shells on daily necessities. Bei bought equipment. Then used force to break into the villa and directly tied Zhang Yong, the richest man in the city ... "


"Then squeeze the cash from Assistant Zhou to pay off the credit card debt at once."


"Since there was no shortage of food, water, daily necessities, and medicine in the portable warehouse, he could stay in the villa until customs."


The richest man with assets of hundreds of millions of dollars was kidnapped by a demo player because of his 10,000 Bekaa debt. How depressing.


Li Yue was silent for a long time before saying, "If you remember correctly, there are ten bodyguards in the villa where Zhang Yong lives?"


“Ya.” The staff is helpless. Ten people were not good enough, and the test player broke through when he said that he had barged in.


“After the trial is over, remember to add ten more bodyguards to the NPC of the richest man.” Li Yue commanded firmly.


"Then now ..." Staff asking for comment.


Li Yue sighed lightly, "Let go of him."


Kidnapping the richest man is one of the customs methods. It's just that he didn't expect that he didn't need to be in the group, he could do it with just one player.


If someone breaks into a private house because of its power, it is considered customs.
