Chu Yu didn't understand what this meant, but he was too lazy to ask any more questions, so he sat down under the sunshade.
Afterwards, An Ya and Xu Mengying arrived one after another, both looking somewhat tired.
I wonder what games the director is going to organize this time; the surfing session this morning was tiring enough.
Gu Jinhuai was the last to arrive.
After all the guests had gathered, the director officially announced the content of the evening's games.
"This game is just to help everyone relax, so it won't be as tiring as this morning. And regardless of winning or losing, everyone who participates will receive Wish Coin as a reward."
Hearing this, the guests finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The director didn't keep them in suspense any longer, saying, "This game is the well-known Monopoly. I believe everyone is familiar with the rules, so I won't waste time going into detail. I'll explain the differences between this game and the regular Monopoly."
Each group of guests now has a certain number of Wish Coin accumulated, which will be your starting capital for this Monopoly game.
The guests, who had been relaxed just moments before, felt a sudden heart attack upon hearing this.
Especially An Ya and her brother, who still owe the production team a loan.
Wen Zhixin expression. "Director, apart from Chu Yu's group, everyone else in the guest group has almost zero Wish Coin. How are we supposed to play this game?"
This is indeed a problem.
The essence of Monopoly lies in the fact that players spend money to buy and sell land and buildings to earn rent, tolls, and so on.
But now everyone has almost no starting capital, so it's obvious that the game can't start.
The director smiled slightly, "Don't worry about that. Each player's initial funds are based on the number of Wish Coin. One Wish Coin can be exchanged for one million Monopoly virtual banknotes. Of course, after this game ends, any remaining virtual banknotes in each group can be exchanged back into Wish Coin."
After that, staff members came up carrying boxes.
Each box contained one million virtual banknotes.
Chu Yu and Xu Mengying together received four Wish Coin, totaling four million virtual banknotes.
Secondly, Chu Chen and Gu Jinhuai each received two Wish Coin, totaling two million virtual banknotes.
Subsequently, the Wen siblings and the An Ya siblings each received one million virtual banknotes.
After the initial funds were distributed to each player, the director smiled mysteriously, "Also, there's one more thing about the Monopoly game we're going to play compared to the regular version. We won't be buying and selling land, but stocks."
"Today, the program will provide you with ten different types of stocks. Players can freely choose to invest based on the information and current events of each stock. There is no limit to the number of stocks you can invest in. Each stock will fluctuate every half hour, and whether it goes up or down depends entirely on your ability and luck."
The game rules sound simple enough, and as long as it doesn't require physical exertion, the guests are very willing to try it.
Xu Mengying knew absolutely nothing about business investment, and immediately rushed to Chu Yu's side in a panic, " Sister Chu, I know absolutely nothing about stock investment, how about I give you all my money to invest?"
Chu Yu nodded. "That works, but the show's setup is completely different from real-world stocks, so don't worry."
Chu Yu had personally managed the stock market before, so naturally he wouldn't take this kind of trivial game too seriously.
With her reassurance, Xu Mengying's tension eased.
The second pair Gu Jinhuai and Chu Chen, who had always been at odds, suddenly found themselves getting along harmoniously.
Chu Chen even pushed all his virtual currency in front of Gu Jinhuai, saying, "I'll invest it all in you, just don't win first place. I don't want to go on a vacation with you."
Gu Jinhuai didn't say anything, but it was clear that he didn't want to go on a vacation with Chu Chen either.
Lu Haoming, the forgotten lone teenager, raised his hand again, "What about me, Director?"
The director paused for a moment, then hesitated, "How about you become a stock market host? You'd be the one who reports all sorts of stock market news."
Lu Haoming: "No problem!"
And so, the stock market version of Monopoly began.
Lu Haoming, acting as the announcer, stood solemnly at the front, script in hand, and began reading. "Currently, there are ten stocks available for sale on this stock market. The first one..."
After listening to the information about these ten stocks, Chu Yu revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."
The real stock market fluctuates based on international events; a seemingly insignificant news item can cause stock prices to plummet.
The current setup for the program is far from comparable to the real stock market.
For Chu Yu, it was at most the level of a three-year-old's riddles.
After Lu Haoming finished broadcasting the stock information, the guests all fell into deep thought, probably considering which stock was the most reliable to invest in.
Chu Yu and Gu Jinhuai, however, were completely different.
They happened to be sitting next to each other, and after Lu Haoming finished announcing the stock information, they subconsciously turned around and exchanged a glance.
That sense of familiarity that had accumulated over many years of knowing each other suddenly arose.
Gu Jinhuai spoke first, "What place are you aiming for?"
Chu Yu thought for a moment, then turned around and saw Xu Mengying looking at him with expectant eyes.
She quickly changed her mind. "First, we can go on vacation and travel."
Gu Jinhuai nodded and said calmly, "That's perfect, I don't want to be number one."
Chu Chen, who overheard their conversation, immediately snorted coldly.
These two are hilarious! Do they think they're buying cabbages?
Can we even discuss it directly, with him coming in first and me second?
Lu Haoming, who was over there, also noticed the unusually calm Chu Yu and Gu Jinhuai, and quickly came over with a small microphone to interview them.
