Female Chinese Play Games To Become Multimillionaire

Playing games can also accomplish Millionaires for many people. But the virtual avatar "Zhong An she" in the red Tang costume has created a lot of virtual assets in the "second life". After converting into US dollars, it has surpassed 1 million US dollars. It has become the first millionaire created by the Internet world, and has also been on the cover of American BusinessWeek.

The miracle of creation is Ailin Greve, a German woman.

The most famous citizen of the "second life", "Zhong An she", is a real estate developer who knows no one. But in reality, Ailin Greve was born in Hubei, China. He was born in Germany in 90s. He settled in Germany with her husband Gunter Rahm graves in the middle of last century.

Before he played "second life", Erin played a great role in the role-playing game.

At the end of 1999, she began playing the online game called A Shenglong's call. At that time, she created a popular magic weapon for many people and became famous.

But Erin found that she spent every day helping people make virtual weapons. That's why she had no time to take care of everyone's needs.

So, for the first time, she had the idea of collecting money from games as a reward for services.

But this does not make her achievement in reality.

In March 2004, the "second life" began to open to users outside the United States and Britain.

Elin decided to try out a new gadget that only opened doors to adults, known as "completely built by users".

So she named her fictitious Avatar "Zhong An she" according to the "holy dragon" in the game.

But at that time, AI Lin did not know that "Zhong An she" would make a great change in her life.

When the "second life" comes back to the top of the world, AI Lin is just beginning to play "second life". AI Lin just wandered around to see what the virtual society is different from the real world.

She found that there were many outstanding elites at that time, and many of them registered a year ago.

When she realized the existence of business opportunities, the vast majority of the market had been seized by the early users.

Soon after that, Linden Lab opened new functions for users to create animations for characters and objects.

AI Lin took the opportunity to sell virtual animation for the first time to establish a reputation for virtual entrepreneurship.

In June 2004, Erin found that the virtual land market was lacking in people's interest at that time, so he bought some land for 9.95 dollars, then subdivided and designed three dimensional buildings and landscapes, and then earned income through leasing and resale.

At the beginning, all pactions were completed in virtual game currency.

By the end of 2005, Linden Lab introduced the linden coin, a universal currency for "second life".

It can be exchanged directly with the US dollar, and residents can also buy with credit cards. The exchange ratio varies with the market.

"Zhong an" earned the game currency, which turned into real gold and silver.

At the end of 2006, Elin announced that Zhong An society had earned 3 billion Linden coins (about US $1 million 100 thousand) in the "second life", and was called the "virtual world Rockefeller" by the media.

The "land price" has dropped to a turning point. Although it is a virtual real estate market, the risk is also hard to predict.

In September 2004, Erin entered the virtual real estate market for two and a half months. Her business model is still in a simple "buy and sell" situation, and there are not many development components.

Although the land price was relatively high and the profits were considerable, many people did the same thing with her.

One day, linden laboratory greatly improved the opening speed of new land.

Overnight, land prices plummeted, less than half of what they used to be.

This is the turning point of AI Lin's sudden rise.

"Most of my competitors do not want to sell land at a loss, but just put the land in their hands.

But at the same time, they have no funds to buy cheaper new land. "

Erin recalls.

And she listened to her husband's proposal, while selling the land at a low price, it absorbed a lot of newly opened cheap land, and then gained a foothold in the "second life" real estate sector.

At the beginning of 2006, in order to further expand its operation scale, Erin set up Zhong An studio in Wuhan, Hubei, China, to recruit local talents for real estate development in the virtual world.

In the process of preparing the company, she cashed about $150 thousand worth of linden coins to pay salaries, rent office buildings, buy computers, and other matters.

At present, the company has nearly 50 employees, some of whom have worked in online game companies, and some have worked in some Japanese game outsourcing companies, but most of them are young people who have just left school, some are proficient in 3D modeling, others are familiar with standardized programming languages.

All employees have to undergo special training before they start their work.

After the scale of its business, Erin still stuck to its original pricing strategy, adding an exaggerated profit margin over the buying price and expanding its scale.

"My business philosophy is not" how much money can I get people to pay, "he said," but to expand business based on small profits but quick turnover. "

At present, the "Zhong An club" is the largest developer and service provider of "second life" in terms of income and customer numbers.

Although the main business of Zhong An she studio is still in the "second life", it has begun to march to other games, such as IMVU, there and Antero Pia world.

Nowadays, "Zhong An she" holds the land of "second life" with all kinds of styles all over the world, including Asia, polar regions, Europe, the Mediterranean Sea and so on.

Not only does she simply build houses, she also designs interior decoration, furnishings, even the bonsai and surrounding environment of the hospital according to the architectural style, and has established several shopping malls and chain stores, creating her own brand and providing various matching services.

Philip Rosedale, the founder of the Linden Lab, said that if "Zhong An she" drove a player out of his own industry, the man would be expelled from the "second life", because since she joined the game, she had created many things that she did not have before. If she did not play games in her territory, then the player would return to the barren original version, completely out of touch with the current players.

Erin believes that with the increasing number of players attracted by "second lives", more and more business opportunities will emerge. Players who want to get rich should ask themselves, "how can we make everyone happy?"

Once the answer is answered, their dream is not far away.

But she still reminded players not to invest blindly.

"It is too risky to invest 200 thousand dollars in real life into the virtual world," she said.
