My Realistic Simulation Game

Chapter 111 What exactly is the Big Dipper?
Qin Yuan naturally saw the Crown Prince's response.

However, he didn't pay any attention to it.

His mind had already been ignited by the logic of acquiring "achievement points".

"A pioneering act or event..."

He muttered those words to himself, his eyes gleaming.

Now that it's been confirmed that acquiring "achievement points" requires performing "groundbreaking" actions or events, he has countless achievements to complete.
The primary target is undoubtedly Jeanswest right now!
In my past life memories, the 1990s were the nascent stage of domestic brands, but very few were able to truly stand up and compete with international giants.

The so-called "eight major domestic brands" in later generations are Metersbonwe, founded by Wenzhou businessmen in Zhejiang; Baleno, founded by Hong Kong businessmen; Yichun, launched by Humen in Dongguan; as well as Tang Lion, Trend Frontline, Semir, Xtep, Giordano, and the like.

These brands truly rose to prominence after 2000.

If he could have built "Jeanswest" into a leading brand in China's apparel industry by 1990, a brand with genuine national recognition and market dominance, that would have been groundbreaking!

The achievements it brings will undoubtedly be extremely substantial.

This is not just a business layout, but a strategic high ground for achieving success.

Besides that, there's the Crown Prince's side.

Trading canned goods for airplanes and kvass for tanks should be on the agenda.

For some reason, there is no record of Mu Qizhong in this era; he has checked news materials but found no trace of him.

Perhaps his body was taken over by a player, or perhaps he disappeared early in the tide of time for other reasons, but this undoubtedly gave him an opportunity.

Using surplus domestic light industrial products to leverage Soviet heavy industrial assets and successfully navigating this seemingly impossible yet highly characteristic trade route of the era would have enormous symbolic significance and practical benefits.

With this in mind, Qin Yuan knew he needed to resolve the matter in Shenzhen as soon as possible.

Just as my thoughts were becoming clear, a private message notification sounded.

When Qin Yuan opened it, he saw that it was Yangcheng Dachao's avatar flashing.

At this time, among all the players, only Yangcheng Dachao knew the reason why the ranking of the account 【我是京爷】 could rise so quickly.

I know who the mastermind behind Deep Plains is.

But until this point, no one had made the connection to him.

It's clear that Yangcheng Dachao's mouth is very tight.

Click on the profile picture frame, and a message pops up.

[Yangcheng Dachao]: Master Jing, I'm impressed. You said you'd take down Shenyuanye, and you did. Thank you. I've already received news that Jianlibao's funding sources have been investigated and found to have problems. Now, its listing has been postponed indefinitely.

Qin Yuan was not surprised to see this message.

In its previous life, Jianlibao had considered going public, but its attempts to do so were all rejected.

The only time I had a chance, I was advised to give up.

Moreover, in the early stages, Li Jingwei's methods were too vulgar and radical.

It would be strange if there wasn't something going on behind this.

Now, instead of Li Jingwei, this "Shangshan Ruo Huo" has taken over, and his methods are not only more radical, but he is also so eager for quick results.

It would be a miracle if they couldn't find the problem.

Sometimes, these things can't be weighed on a scale; once they are, they might weigh over a thousand pounds.

【I am Master Jing】: It's a win-win situation, and thank you for not revealing me to others.

Yangcheng Dachao smiled casually: "May I ask how many achievement points you got for killing Yuanye?"

Sure enough, the top 100 players all realized the importance of achievement points.

Qin Yuan hesitated for a moment, then typed it directly on the screen.

【I am Jingye】: 1300 points.

hiss!
Looking at this number, Yangcheng Dachao, far away in the Guomao Center, gasped in shock.

This achievement far exceeded his expectations.

[Yangcheng Da Chao]: That's amazing! You're incredibly skilled. But because of you, the system determined that I contributed to the Wilderness Case and gave me 300 achievement points. I originally wanted you to owe me a favor, but it turns out I'm the one who owes you one.

Qin Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

This system is indeed intelligent and fair.

Yangcheng Dachao only provided some background information about Deepfield, but was judged to have contributed to the groundbreaking event of "exposing the Deepfield scam" and received 300 achievement points.

This was an unexpected bonus, and it also indirectly confirms that the system's definition of "event participation" is relatively broad and flexible.

[I am a Beijing native]: Forget about personal relationships. Instead, tell me, in Guangdong, how many of them are in the top ten? I'm quite curious.

He got straight to the point.

The Deep Wilderness incident made him realize that Guangdong was a deep and unfathomable place, gathering a large number of players with extremely high rankings.

He climbed to the 800s by relying on his "speculative" business, which almost emptied half of the Soviet Union. What kind of terrifying resources and power did the top 100, especially the top 10, "monsters" control?
To what extent do they understand this game?
This is crucial to his subsequent actions.

Information is power, especially in this game where players compete against each other.

Yangcheng Dachao's reply was quick and very direct.

[Yangcheng Da Chao]: "Would you like to meet? We can discuss the details."

[Yangcheng Dachao]: "Don't worry, you choose the meeting place. I'll come alone, so you can do whatever you want."

Honest, and sincere.

Qin Yuan tapped his fingers lightly on the table a few times.

There are definitely risks, but the rewards are even greater.

The other party took the initiative to let him choose the location, adopting a very humble attitude, which was obviously intended to express sincerity.

Moreover, he genuinely wanted to learn the truth about this world from Yangcheng Dachao.

【I am Jingye】: Okay, let's meet. The meeting place is "Tingyuxuan" on the third floor of "Tao Tao Ju" at noon.

Tao Tao Ju, a time-honored teahouse in Guangzhou, is crowded and noisy, but precisely because of this, it is relatively safe.

The time was set for noon, which is when there is a large flow of people.

He now wants to see the true face of this world.

Moreover, he increasingly realized that players with higher rankings were more respectful of the rules, and that fighting was the worst possible strategy.
The key to high-level gameplay lies in the application of strategy, resources, and rules.

The other party replied instantly:

[Yangcheng Da Chao]: "Okay. I'll be there on time."

At noon, the third floor of Tao Tao Ju was bustling with activity, filled with the aroma of tea and snacks.

There was a gentle knock on the door of the "Listening to the Rain Pavilion" private room.

Qin Yuan gestured, and Magan opened the door cautiously.

A man who looked to be around thirty years old stood at the door. He was not tall, and was even somewhat thin. He was wearing a dark casual outfit that was of good quality but understated in style, and he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. His gaze was calm and steady.

There was no one behind him. "Yangcheng Da Chao?" Qin Yuan sat in the main seat and spoke calmly.

The man smiled slightly and adjusted his glasses: "It's me, Master Jing."

His gaze swept over Qin Yuan, then over Markov, who stood to the side with eyes like a hawk staring at him, and over the seemingly nonchalant but advantageously positioned mannequin by the door, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

"My name is Qin Yuan, you know my game name," Qin Yuan said frankly.

"Haha, that's a name that's been heard of for a long time." Yangcheng Dachao walked in and sat down calmly opposite Qin Yuan. "My name is Li Yuanchao. I manage the International Trade Center. Some friends call me A Yuan, and some friends call me Dachao."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Da Chao, Da Chao, that's interesting."

As soon as Li Yuanchao sat down, he began to use the tea set on the table.

Qin Yuan watched as he skillfully scalded the cups, warmed the pot, took the tea, and brewed it.

The entire set of movements was fluid and graceful, clearly demonstrating that he had fully integrated into this era and his identity.

Soon, Li Yuanchao gently pushed the first cup of tea he had brewed in front of Qin Yuan and gestured for him to try it: "Try our Guangdong tea."

Qin Yuan picked up the teacup, smelled the aroma of the tea, took a small sip, and found the tea soup to be mellow and sweet.

"It tastes good, doesn't it?" Li Yuanchao smiled slightly. "What do you want to know? I'll tell you anything I know, but only for today."

"Alright." Qin Yuan didn't waste any words. "In Guangdong, how many people are in the top ten of the wealth rankings? And who are some of them worth paying special attention to?"

Li Yuanchao poured himself a cup of tea, his gaze behind his glasses becoming deep and solemn, as if he were unveiling a hidden world:

"In Guangdong, a place where all sorts of people mingle, the top ten on the wealth list are all figures who can shake the region with a stomp of their feet."

"I know of at least two who have been consistently ranked in the top ten for a long time, and their influence is unfathomable."

He paused, seemingly choosing his words carefully, before slowly uttering two names:
"The first one is Ge Ye, the King of Zhanjiang."

“This one…” Li Yuanchao’s tone was filled with deep apprehension and awe, “is a true ‘old monster.’ He has been playing in this game world for a full ten years!”

"Ten years?!" Qin Yuan's pupils contracted sharply, his heart filled with shock! How long had he been in the game? Only a few months!

And the other party has actually been operating in this world for ten years!

What does this mean? It means that the other party has an unimaginable first-mover advantage and has accumulated astronomical amounts of wealth, connections, and power!

This means that he may have a far greater understanding of the rules of this world, the context of history, and even the mysteries of the system than ordinary people!
“That’s right, ten years.” Li Yuanchao nodded firmly, his expression solemn. “He practically monopolized the smuggling business in the entire Guangdong province, and even extended it to Guangxi, Hainan, and the northern coast of Vietnam!”

"From cars, electrical appliances, cigarettes, and refined oil, to later computer parts and chips... as long as there are sea routes and there is profit to be made, nothing can escape his 'maritime empire'."

“His roots are in Zhanjiang, where he has operated a deep-water port and secret wharves for many years. His network of connections is intricate and reportedly extends to very high places.”

"He keeps a low profile and rarely appears in public, but his methods are extremely shrewd and ruthless."

"Within his sphere of influence, all underground trade had to 'pay tribute' to him, or else... the consequences would be dire. He was a veritable 'King of Underground Trade,' and one of the most senior, deeply rooted, and fearsome figures among the top ten in Guangdong Province."

"His ranking has consistently been within the top five; at least before I entered this game, I had never seen him fall out of that position."

Li Yuanchao's description made Qin Yuan feel as if he were seeing a deep-sea behemoth hidden beneath the waves of the South China Sea, controlling a vast black and gray trade network.

Ten years of operation, monopolizing the underground trade... the wealth and power accumulated are simply immeasurable!
No wonder my current ranking is only around 800!

"And who's the second one?"

“Second place, Gome Chengcheng, Chen Qiming,” Li Yuanchao said, revealing the second name.

"Chen Qiming?" Qin Yuan's heart skipped a beat!
This name, combined with the "Gome" in the title, instantly conjures up a legendary business empire from the past – Gome Electrical Appliances, Huang Guangyu!
What is the relationship between this person and Huang Guangyu?
Before Qin Yuan could ask, Li Yuanchao continued, "Chen Qiming made his fortune very early. In his early days, he started a business with another partner surnamed Huang, and founded 'Gome Electrical Appliances'."

really!

Qin Yuan thought to himself, "This is the 'Huang Guangyu' of this world!"
The only difference is that the name has changed to Chen Qiming!
“However,” Li Yuanchao changed the subject, a complex look in his eyes, “this Chen Qiming is extremely shrewd. He used the capital and channel advantages he had accumulated in the early stages, as well as his accurate judgment of the future development of this industry, to achieve absolute control of the company in just a few years.”

"Through a series of capital operations and equity designs, he successfully countered the partner surnamed Huang, ultimately kicking him out completely and seizing sole power!"

Qin Yuan felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this.

This plot... is even more intense and thorough than the struggle between Huang Guangyu and his older brother in his previous life!

This Chen Qiming is a ruthless character!
"Go on," she gestured for him to continue.

Li Yuanchao nodded and continued, "Currently, Chen Qiming's main business is to assemble or even imitate imported color TVs, VCRs and other home appliances on a large scale, taking advantage of the relatively low cost and increasingly mature industrial chain in China."

“Then,” Li Yuanchao’s gaze sharpened as he said this, “he creatively established a ‘brand franchise store channel’ model.”

"Unlike state-owned department stores which are bloated and inefficient, or small appliance stores which are chaotic and disorganized, Gome Appliances stores have uniform decoration, uniform prices, clear price tags, and standardized services, focusing on 'small profits but quick turnover' and 'everyday low prices'!"

"This model is extremely impactful and is rapidly expanding from core cities like Guangzhou and Shenzhen to the entire South China region and even the whole country!"

At this point, he took a deep breath and said, "In just three years, Chen Qiming has built an electrical appliance retail empire."

"He is a master of marketing and is willing to spend heavily on advertising in newspapers and on television. His slogan, 'Buy appliances at Gome,' has become a household name."

"Furthermore, as far as I know, Chen Qiming has a strong ability to integrate the supply chain, which gives Gome Electrical Appliances a very high bargaining power and allows for excellent cost control."

"More importantly, he places great importance on cash flow, requiring suppliers to have extremely short payment terms, or even cash on delivery, which makes his cash flow extremely healthy and his expansion speed extremely fast."

Li Yuanchao looked at Qin Yuan: "This Chen Qiming of 'Gome Chengcheng' is relatively more upright and on the right track compared to Ge Ye, but his expansion momentum is extremely fierce and his ambition is enormous."

“His ranking has never fallen since he entered the top ten last year, and his upward momentum is very strong.”

"He is a typical example of someone who values ​​distribution channels above all else, and he is very likely to become a giant in the home appliance retail industry in the future."

Qin Yuan listened quietly, his heart filled with turbulent emotions.

Two top ten players!

One of them is Ge Ye, the "King of Zhanjiang" who has been entrenched in the underground trade for ten years and whose influence is unfathomable!
One is Chen Qiming, the ruthless, counter-partner, pioneering new models for home appliance chains, and ambitious "Gome Chengcheng"!

A gray force and accumulation that represents unfathomable depths.

A symbol of enterprising business innovation and channel dominance.

The presence of these two people was like two towering mountains standing before Qin Yuan, making him clearly see the enormous gap between himself and truly top-tier players!

Ge Ye's "ten years" was like a heavy hammer blow to Qin Yuan's heart!

The flow of time in this game world, the player's entry time... are more complex and cruel than he imagined!
One player has actually been operating here for ten years!
He picked up his teacup and drank the slightly cool tea in one gulp.

The aroma of tea lingers, but what surges in my heart is unprecedented pressure, as well as an even more intense fighting spirit that has been ignited!

He only saw the tip of the iceberg of the top ten scenic spots.

The road ahead is still long and treacherous.

"And what about you?" Putting down his teacup, Qin Yuan's eyes suddenly turned to Chen Yuanchao: "Is your ambition any less than theirs?"

"Don't you want to beat the game?"

Yangcheng Dachao laughed nonchalantly: "Haha, I have my own path."

"And isn't this place better than the real world outside the game?"

real world
This was the first time Qin Yuan had heard anything about the "real world".

Beidou carries the real world of the game "Myriad Realms".

What kind of being is it exactly?
