Virtual world, Calan Empire dungeon entrance.
The players sitting on the starship landing ship waiting for the dungeon to start completely ignored the NPCs sitting next to them and began to chat to pass the time.
A player wearing a silver helmet suddenly raised his head and brought the topic to the news in the real world.
"Have you guys heard? John Griffin's exhibition! "
Sitting opposite the silver-helmeted player, the player wearing a large power armor touched the back of his head and spoke with some confusion.
"The painter who claims to be a surrealist artist? Anarcho-Fascist Martian? "
"What do you mean by claiming to be, he is a recognized big shot in the art world! As for his political views, I don't care. I just heard that he seems to be wandering on Mars. "
"I don't know, I don't understand art, so what happened?"
"Just yesterday, he held an exhibition of paintings at the Central Museum to raise money for the Alpha Centauri Colonization Plan, and he exhibited works that took him a year to complete at the exhibition! It is said that whether it is the works to be exhibited or the layout of the exhibition hall, they are all contemporary in the entire history of art … Of course, this is not the point! "
Seeing that the guy in the silver helmet was still keeping them guessing, the man in a brown jacket sitting next to him couldn't help but urge anxiously.
"What's the point? Tell me! "
"The point is that Lu Zhou also went!"
Hearing these words, not only the man in the brown jacket, but everyone sitting next to him was shocked.
Even the NPC officer who was still wiping the electromagnetic rifle showed a surprised expression on his face, as if he was very familiar with the name Lu Zhou.
"You mean, that Academician Lu?" The man in the brown jacket looked at the silver-helmeted player dumbfounded. He couldn't help but ask, "The greatest scholar of the 21st century?"
"More than the 21st century!" The silver-helmeted player squinted at the guy like he was looking at a retard. He continued in a calm tone, "He solved the second-generation controllable fusion and faster than light technology. Even if we look to the 22nd century, we may not be able to find a greater scholar than him!"
At this point, a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on his face. He glanced at everyone sitting next to him and lowered his voice.
"And I heard that at the art exhibition, Academician Lu gave a very high evaluation of Mr. Griffin's paintings and artistic concepts. He also expressed his approval of the Star System Colonization Plan. You know, his judgment is rarely wrong. You can even say that he hasn't been wrong until now. "
As soon as he said that, everyone in the cabin was shocked, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
"F * ck! Really?! "
"Could it be a scam?"
"F * ck! If I had known earlier, I would have grabbed two tickets! "
"You're thinking too much. Unless you go to Mars in advance or find a reliable agent, there will be a delay of nearly 20 minutes on Earth. When the button for the gun ticket pops up, everything will be gone!"
Looking at the chattering crowd, the silver-white-helmeted player let out a dry cough and raised his hand to signal for them to be quiet. Then, he continued to talk about the gossip he had heard and analyzed it logically.
"I don't think it's fake! After all, the president of the Tiangong Bank was there. Later, he approved the application for 100 billion credits of corporate bonds issued by the Alpha Centauri Colonial Exploration Foundation. With the land of the New World as collateral, it can be exchanged for the permanent right to use the corresponding area of land when it matures. It can also be converted into shares or directly paid for interest! No one can guarantee that they will make money, but I can be sure that with the support of Academician Lu, they will definitely be able to sail the ship there! "
Listening to this bewitching voice, many people sitting in the cabin held their breath.
Several players even went offline directly. They didn't even want to play the Legendary dungeon in a while.
The tickets were not easy to grab, but there should still be a chance to grab the 100 billion credits of corporate bonds guaranteed by the land of the New World.
Even if those financial giants and bankers were also interested in this 100 billion credit cake, they would not eat the whole cake. There would always be some leftovers.
It was not that no one was concerned about the risks, but when they thought that even Professor Lu was optimistic about the Star System Colonization Plan, the remaining concerns disappeared with the wind …
Similar scenes were not only staged in the Calan Empire in the virtual world. A storm that swept through the financial world had been brewing in the real world for a long time.
The official websites of a series of local banks on Earth, including the Pan-Asian Bank, the Bank of Beijing, and so on, were crowded by the sudden surge in traffic.
Although the problem was solved in time and did not cause any information security accidents, it still shocked the managers responsible for selling these corporate bonds.
Prior to this, although they had expected that the 100 billion corporate bonds would be as popular as the tickets released in advance, they did not expect that people's enthusiasm would grow like bubbles from beer.
It could only be said that the Pan-Asian Cooperation was too rich, and the 100 billion corporate bonds were not even enough for them to share.
Not only Pan-Asian companies, but also hundreds of millions of families. In the development of space resources for nearly a century, the wealth of the entire society was expanding rapidly. Whether it was enterprises or individuals, whether it was related or unrelated industries, they had more or less accumulated huge wealth because of this.
Therefore, they, who had tasted the sweetness of this cake, were afraid to miss this opportunity to make a fortune in front of them.
In less than two hours, the 100 billion corporate bonds were sold out.
Just a few days ago, the construction of this "Noah's Ark" was still the work of the Alpha Centauri Colonial Exploration Foundation, but now, this dream had been taken over by the citizens and businesses of the Pan-Asian Cooperation.
Everyone hoped that this big ship carrying the dream would be built as soon as possible. Everyone hoped that the colonists who opened up the new continent would set off as soon as possible, bringing them endless gold and silver treasures from the land of other galaxies …
When Lu Zhou learned the whole story from the email sent by Xiao Ai, it was already night time …
…
Star Sky Hotel.
After reading the Mars news on the holographic screen, Lu Zhou reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache.
"… I never said that I was optimistic about the colonization plan of the Alpha Centauri Colonial Exploration Foundation. At most, I just expressed that I agree with Mr. Griffin's artistic ideals."
Professor Wu Qinglai, who was trembling in front of his desk, looked at Lu Zhou with an awkward expression on his face.
"Sorry … I seem to have caused you trouble."
Thinking that this guy seemed to have bought several tickets, Lu Zhou raised his head and glanced at him.
"I'm afraid you made a lot of money."
The expression on his face was slightly embarrassed. Wu Qinglai coughed and spoke.
"Uh, I can give you half."
"F * ck off."
Seeing that Academician Lu was about to get angry, Wu Qinglai, who knew that he was in the wrong, quickly shut his mouth, turned around, and prepared to slip away.
However, before he could take two steps, he was called back by Lu Zhou.
"Wait a minute."
Wu Qinglai quickly stopped in his tracks. He turned his head back and asked with an embarrassed smile on his face.
"Uh, what's wrong?"
"Who sold you that ticket?"
Wu Qinglai was slightly taken aback. He then shook his head.
"Actually … I didn't buy it. It was given to me when I grabbed the ticket."
Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Given?"
"… Yes." Seeing that the expression on Lu Zhou's face was a little strange, Professor Wu suddenly whispered, "What's the problem?"
"Nothing, you can go."
Wu Qinglai nodded with an inexplicable expression. He turned around and left the room, closing the door behind him.
Facing the empty room, Lu Zhou touched his chin and thought for a moment. He was lost in thought.
If he remembered correctly, the exhibition should be aimed at the upper class of Mars. At this time, he did not see anyone dressed in plain clothes at the scene.
He really couldn't imagine this kind of exhibition ticket being placed on the ticket purchase page as a gift …
