After leaving the virtual world, Hong Dali sighed in satisfaction — aiya, it felt good to squander twenty thousand dollars. There was still enough time to complete the mission. There was still a gap of one hundred and eighty thousand dollars. His handsome face should be preserved …
"Is everyone back?" After leaving the room, Hong Dali started to greet his subordinates.
"Young Master." Ling Xiaoyi was already waiting in the living room. Once she saw Hong Dali, she quickly stood up and said, "I went out for a walk just now and have a general understanding of the prices here."
"En, tell me about it." Hong Dali pulled Li Nianwei to sit down and very skillfully laid on her lap. "Just give me a rough idea. There's no need to be too specific. I can't remember it anyway …"
"Okay." Ling Xiaoyi smiled and nodded. She started to explain. "In general, the prices here are about the same as in Heavenly State on Earth. Because this is the center of the Galaxy Alliance, the land is slightly more expensive. The land here is considered above average. An ordinary one costs about one thousand and five hundred Galaxy Dollars per square meter. An ordinary small spacecraft for transportation is about five thousand Galaxy Dollars. Clothes cost about two hundred Galaxy Dollars per set. Of course, some luxury items are more expensive. As for food, it's slightly more expensive. A mid-range meal for four people costs about one hundred Galaxy Dollars per table. "
Xiaoyi was smart. She directly asked about clothing, food, housing, and transportation. After this round, she had a general understanding.
In general, as the central planet of the Galaxy Alliance, the standard of living here was indeed very high — after all, one Galaxy Dollar was enough to exchange for five hundred ordinary slaves …
But in terms of quantity, it was about the same as Heavenly State …
Hong Dali was very satisfied. The key was that it would not be so troublesome to calculate in the future …
"Oh, oh, okay. So-so." Hong Dali smiled and said, "Anyway, I just need a rough idea. I only care about spending money. I don't care about anything else."
"Okay, Young Master." Ling Xiaoyi instantly nodded.
As they spoke, a robot servant walked over and respectfully bowed to Hong Dali. "Master, I just received a message. A man named Fang Han wants to invite you for dinner. Do you agree?"
Aye? Fang Han was really considerate. He invited them so soon?
"Well, sure. Just tell them that I'm free at night and I can go out anytime." It was his first time here and he didn't have anything urgent to do. He just had a lot of time.
"Okay, Master. I'll reply now," the robot said and walked out.
In the Galaxy Alliance Center, every household had such a robot butler.
These robot butlers were different from advanced AI butlers like Tang Long. They were in charge of trivial matters. For example, reminding the owner to wake up for work, receiving and sending invitations, or arranging for a spaceship to send the owner back after the owner went out for a drink.
It was only 4 PM now, it was still early. Hong Dali thought for a while and said, "I have a dinner tonight, it's quite boring. Why don't I see if there's anything …"
He wanted to see if there were any movies, but just as he said that, James hurriedly ran out of the house. Once he saw Hong Dali, he anxiously shouted, "Young Master, big discovery! Big discovery! "
"What big discovery? Look at how anxious you are. "Hong Dali asked," What did you discover? "
"Movies! It's a movie about the Galaxy Alliance Center! "James said excitedly.
What big discovery was there in the movie?
"What's going on? Tell me slowly, don't be anxious!" Hong Dali sat up and asked, "What did you discover?"
"This is definitely good news!" James said, "Didn't we want to see how the movies here are? We found out that there are no pirated movies here! There are no pirated movies! "
No pirated movies!
What situation was this?
"Ah, this is good." Hong Dali stared with his eyes wide open. "How do you eliminate pirated movies?"
Piracy was a problem that no country on Earth could control. Even in the more developed Merika, there were pirated movies. It was just that the range of influence was smaller. But for James to be so excited to say that there were no pirated movies here, it was a bit strange.
"It's like this." James said, "For example, on Earth, if we shoot a movie and the movie is released, many people will download pirated movies if they want to watch it again, right?"
"En, that's right." Hong Dali nodded. "And then?"
"Here, it's different!" James said happily, "The movies played here are all holographic projections! And every time it's played, there's a fee! Simply put, anyone who wants to watch a movie has to pay! One Galaxy Dollar to five Galaxy Dollars. Every time you watch it, you have to pay. And the most important thing is! " Speaking up to this point, James seemed to have gone crazy. "Any movie will be permanently stored in the database after its release date. The entire Milky Way is online! In other words, if we shoot a movie, we can charge money for people to watch it. One year, two years, ten years, twenty years! As long as people watch it, we can earn money! "
If the fact that there were no pirated movies was considered good news, then the last point was really explosive good news!
Forever charging money, no pirated movies!
That was too powerful!
For example, on Earth, if a movie was just released and ten million people watched it, the box office would be four hundred million. It might seem like a lot, but after the release date, there would be almost no income.
But here, it was different!
If a movie was just released and ten million people watched it, the box office would still be four hundred million. On the surface, it was about the same, but the key was what happened next! In other words, even if the movie was released ten or twenty years ago and there were no pirated downloads, if people wanted to watch it, they would still have to pay! Four hundred million in the release date, then in the second month, people watched it at home for one Galaxy Dollar. One million families watched it, that was one million. In the third month, another one million people watched it, another one million! Many a little makes a mickle! It might be less in the short term, but what about a year? Two years? Ten years? Twenty years?
It would be more than double!
If there were no pirated movies …
The income of the movie would not just be a few million or tens of millions, it could be hundreds of millions or even billions! The difference was like heaven and earth!
"Oh, oh, oh!" Even Hong Dali was surprised. "In that case, it's quite worth it to shoot a movie here!"
"But …" Speaking up to this point, James was a little depressed. "It's a lot of investment to shoot a movie here, very, very much!
"Almost all the scenes used here are real planets exploding. An uninhabited planet is worth at least one million. The key is that it needs to be auctioned. Everyone knows that movies make money, so it's common for an uninhabited planet to be auctioned off for millions or tens of millions by the movie company. Actually, it's still simple. The key is that this planet is not something that can be bought with money. After all, the impact of a planet's explosion is very big. It is very likely to cause regional turbulence in the universe. Therefore, if you want to use an uninhabited planet to shoot a movie, you need a professional team to evaluate it, and the evaluation will take a long time. This creates a situation where there is a price but no supply. Even if you have money, it's not easy to buy it. "
There seemed to be many planets in the universe, but who knew which planet's explosion would cause a chain reaction that would affect nearby inhabited planets? Therefore, auctioning an uninhabited planet that could be used to shoot a movie was very popular. On the contrary, no matter how cheap a planet that was not used to shoot a movie was, very few people would buy it.
"In that case …" Hong Dali thought for a while. "Anyway, it doesn't matter. We can't shoot a movie now. Let's talk about it in the future."
"En, that's the only way for now." James nodded and said, "Then I'll go back first. The movie technology here is indeed much better than on Earth, so we still need to learn for a while."
After all, the difference in technology was too big. Hollywood's technology was considered good on Earth, but in the universe, it was really not enough.
"Okay, go ahead." Hong Dali waved his hand. "Ask the robot butler to buy something to eat tonight. We still have to go out."
"Okay, Young Master."
Now that he had a general understanding of the environment here, Hong Dali leaned on the sofa and took a deep breath. He was quite happy. "Aiya, it seems that if I want to squander in the future, I can shoot a movie for fun. That's the best, haha."
Shooting a movie, burning money, was there a better way to squander than this?
Everyone rested for a while. At this time, Li Yang and the others had returned. Hong Dali's team was complete. Just then, the robot butler walked over and said, "Master, Fang Han's people are already waiting outside."
Since they were already here, Hong Dali got up and snapped his fingers. "En, deal. Let's go."
After leaving the villa, Fang Han sent someone to pick them up. It was a silver spacecraft about fifteen or sixteen meters long. The spacecraft was streamlined and very beautiful. It looked like the material was quite good too. Thinking of Fang Han's identity, this spacecraft looked expensive.
Sure enough, Ling Xiaoyi whispered, "Young Master, this is a mid-range spacecraft. It's worth about one hundred thousand Galaxy Dollars. It's not bad."
En, a spacecraft worth one hundred thousand Galaxy Dollars. This Fang Han was indeed a rich young master.
Soon, the cabin door opened. Fang Han brought Xue Fei down from the spacecraft. Once he saw Hong Dali, he smiled and said, "Haha, Brother Dali, I'm here. Aiya, the environment here is really good."
"Hehe, it's so-so. I just bought it." Hong Dali smiled and extended his hand. "We meet again so soon."
"The etiquette from your side, haha!" Fang Han smiled and shook Hong Dali's hand. "Everyone, get on the spacecraft. We're going to a good place today. It took us a lot of effort to reserve a spot."
Xue Fei looked at Ling Xiaoyi and the others and asked curiously, "These are …"
"Honorable Miss, hello." Li Yang nodded and bowed in greeting. "We are Young Master's lackeys. My name is Li Yang. Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!"
"Hehe, you actually brought lackeys with you." Hearing Li Yang's words, Xue Fei smiled and said, "That's really unique. Quick, get on the spacecraft."
