Chapter 369 Currency War (5)
Arcadia's auction house has a huge number of users in the billions.
Dozens of hundreds of transactions are concluded every minute and one second, and bids and order requests for new prices for tens of millions of items are received here. Even banks and securities companies with the world's best technology generate so much traffic that they cannot even dare to handle it. was doing
And Arcadia Co., Ltd., which handles such an enormous level of information like flowing water and perfectly operates the auction house system. What made this auction house possible, which was absolutely impossible with the existing technology, was none other than the outstanding ability of the artificial intelligence Alice, which supports and manages this virtual world.
She manages and is in charge of all tasks, from the sale and purchase of goods to gold and currency exchange, as well as detection and tracking of illegal slush funds and terrorist funds. From one day, Alice's excellent sensor network suddenly began to capture strange movements.
[Anomaly detected. Gold's price volatility surges.]
One day, the currency price of gold suddenly started to move steeply up and down without any particular direction. And when the phenomenon happened repeatedly and the trading volume started to explode, Alice, who had data on all these virtual transactions, could immediately figure out the reason.
[Detection of motion of mass collection. A 28% reduction in the market circulation of gold.]
A situation where the amount of gold released in the market traded through the auction house decreased by as much as 28%. It was a huge market beyond imagination, with an amount of 1,800 trillion won traded per day alone, so the fact that gold with such an astronomical value disappeared from the market in an instant and went into someone's pocket was not something to be inadvertently overlooked.
[Increased market value uncertainty. Switch to intensive analysis mode...]
So, her calculation system began to operate furiously. To figure out the cause of this abnormal phenomenon in Arcadia and who are hiding behind it. And she immediately ran to the person responsible for solving the problem and reported the fact.
“What do you mean, Alice? China is plotting something with Arcadia?”
President Lee Mi-yeon, who was peacefully working in the afternoon, was a little taken aback by Alice who suddenly intruded into the monitor, but asked with a hard face at her story.
[This is a list of those who net bought gold using the auction house in the last 3 weeks. Manager check it out.]
Ellis opens up inside data on recent trading trends. And President Lee Mi-yeon, who was carefully checking the names on the list she picked out, said with a frown.
“What is this huge amount of purchases? The person who bought the most is 50 trillion....? Isn’t this crazy?”
A situation where there is 500 million gold in one person's account. No matter how rich she was in the world, there was no way she would commit such an insane act unless she was hit with a shotgun in the head, so she too was astonished as she scrolled down her mouse, checking the list of names that were endlessly unfolding.
“First of all... I understand what you mean. Accounts from the United States and various Western countries are also visible, but... First of all, most of the accounts that have recently purchased gold are accounts belonging to China, right?”
[Yes.]
Chinese accounts that have swept away all gold on the market by investing tens of trillions of won to at least hundreds of billions of won. Seeing the enormous amount of money possessed by these accounts, which were distributed among hundreds of thousands of accounts, but could not be thought of as belonging to ordinary people, President Lee Mi-yeon muttered with a really meaningful expression.
“No matter how you look at it, it seems like the government intervened?”
[My analysis also judges that the possibility is high.]
The Chinese government, one of the countries that showed the most lukewarm and negative attitude toward virtual reality.
Regarding the launch of Arcadia's service, they gave all sorts of reasons that it harms communism and reduces the people's morale to work, and made all sorts of ridiculous and unreasonable demands such as time limits, technology transfer, and independent server construction.
Of course, he was able to dramatically conclude negotiations with the Chinese government, which ended up giving up the service after President Lee Mi-yeon's declaration that he would give up the service rather than succumbing to power abuse, and was able to launch virtual reality. A situation where they are only looking for an opportunity to cheat. That's why President Lee Mi-yeon asked with sharp eyes shining.
“Could you clarify a little more?”
[The part about the plans and purposes concocted by the Chinese government is beyond my competence. It is impossible without Argos' cooperation.]
Unlike Alice, who oversees virtual reality, Argos, an artificial intelligence, is responsible for all information in reality.
However, it was virtually impossible to seek their cooperation as it was operated under the strict management and supervision of the US government in a completely independent form. And President Lee Mi-yeon, who knows that fact better than anyone else, said with a sad expression on her lips.
“yes....? Then we have to find out with the contents here..... Hmm.....”
A huge amount of transaction records traded with Chinese accounts. President Lee Mi-yeon, who was examining them closely and estimating the amount of gold they purchased, soon found a familiar name among the top buyers, as if he had heard it somewhere, and shook his head.
“Wait... Mawon...? Could this be the Mawon I know?”
[That's right. As a result of collating subscriber information, it matches Mawon, the president of Panda Baba.]
The name of Mawon written in the top 5. When he saw his name, a developer who founded Panda Baba, China's largest Internet trading site, and a successful, self-made businessman, who often appeared on TV and on the Internet, CEO Lee Mi-yeon muttered with an incomprehensible expression.
“Didn’t this person completely disappear from the eyes of the Chinese government recently? Rumors circulate that the mouse or bird might have died without even noticing.”
[The exact reason is unknown, but it is certain that the owner of the account is Ma Won.]
President Lee Mi-yeon looked puzzled at the fact that the person most unlikely to cooperate with the Chinese government was a gold buyer in the top five. And she immediately asked Elise the most essential question.
“For now, everything is fine. Let's say that the Chinese government is behind the scenes of this mad rush to buy gold. So, what will the aftermath of this incident be?”
The Chinese government sweeps away gold at an astounding level because it's hot. In response to her question about what her intention was, Alice brought an enormous report right in front of President Lee Mi-yeon's eyes.
[According to my brief analysis, it is divided into 1323 scenarios, and various situations will occur. First things first.....]
Ellis is trying to make a report that doesn't seem to end even after staying up all night. Cutting off her ignorant report, President Lee Mi-yeon said urgently.
“Don’t tell me all of them, just tell me the most plausible ones. Only those scenarios that pose a mortal threat to us or need to be addressed as significant issues.”
Alice creates hundreds of thousands of possible scenarios and reacts accordingly. President Lee Mi-yeon, unable to keep up with her cognitive ability, asked her to select only a few things, and at her request, Alice told an incomprehensible story.
[That request is impossible.]
“What...?”
Alice says that her request to be abbreviated is impossible. At her unexpected reaction, CEO Lee Mi-yeon asked with a puzzled expression. And Alice began to explain the reason in a calm tone.
[Assuming that the Chinese government is behind these Chinese people who have accumulated a large amount of gold, the 1323 purposes and their resulting influence can be limitedly divided into the danger and significance of each individual case, but everything is closely related. Because the aftermath will appear serially, it is impossible to limit and explain just a few.]
“What...? What are you talking about?”
Alice predicted the numerous aftermath of this situation. And she began to tell an unsettling story that would make the hearts of all the employees of Arcadia, including President Lee Mi-yeon, shake.
[I don't normally like quotations, but since there's a phrase that best describes the current situation, I'll quote a phrase from my database to explain it, admin.] Then
one phrase flashes on the monitor.
Having worked at a securities company in the past, she jumped up from her seat with a shocked look on her face when Ellis spoke the famous saying that anyone who has ever played stocks knows.
- You can calculate the movements of heavenly bodies, but you cannot calculate the madness of humans.
(I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies but not the madness of people.)
Newton, a genius physicist born by mankind. A quote that will be forever recorded in human history, uttered with a heart full of regret and self-deprecation after suffering a painful loss from stock investment.
Seeing that he suddenly spit it out in this situation, President Lee Mi-yeon said urgently at a thought that passed through his head like lightning.
“Ellis, show me the latest gold trading volume and quote chart right now.”
[I understand.]
At the words of President Lee Mi-yeon, the gold price graph immediately appears on the monitor.
And as soon as she saw the graph, she could see that something was wrong.
China holds in its hands as much as 30% of the gold circulated through the auction house.
Strangely, however, the market price did not move much from the existing 100,000 won and stayed at a similar level.
An incomprehensible and bizarre movement in which the price of gold, which should have risen at least three times, even plummeted by 10%. And keeping the market price stable in this way was tantamount to saying that China's intention, which had already preoccupied by accumulating a huge amount, was very deeply reflected.
“If you buy so much and the seeds of gold are drying up, but the market price is still the same... Are you these bastards just holding down the price? Now, wait a minute... Then, this time, no way...?”
It would be difficult for ordinary people to notice, but it is a situation that anyone who has studied stocks and securities properly and put their feet in can understand.
Charts don't lie.
A staggering amount of trading, revealed so honestly. And it was so hard to show that it was blocking the entrance by suppressing the price with a huge amount of volume and giving a lot of downward pressure, so it was a situation that there was no way that those clever and lucrative hyenas who rushed at it would not be able to stand still. .
The initial state of the graph, which will go up like crazy, burning the buying sentiment that has been blocked until now, the moment you get on the uptrend even a little bit.
and that moment.
As if she were really lying, the moment she was looking at the graph in real time, a huge, long bee peak began to be drawn.
pod.
pod.
pod.
Graphs soar upwards without hesitation and ignorance without knowing the ceiling as each minute and one second passes.
President Lee Mi-yeon froze with a shocked expression on her face as she watched the gold chart, which had risen by as much as 30% in less than 10 minutes.
“These.... Damn X's bastards...”
