Living in Seclusion in the Mountains: Have Prices Outside Dropped Ten Millionfold?

Yun Fan takes his savings and retires to an isolated mountain village!

Little does he know that prices in the outside world have fallen by a factor of ten million!

Fidgeting by the river, he tosses a coin and, just as you'd expect, it falls into the water.

"It's only one yuan. Surely nobody's going to dive into that freezing river to get it?"

Splash, splash! Four or five young men jump in one after another.

"That's a one-yuan coin!"

"A whole apartment in Modu, just dropped into the water like that?"

Looking at the unfamiliar city folk, Yun Fan thinks:

"I get it. They came here for a winter swim!"

Yun Fan has no idea what the coin is really worth.

Those who get their hands on the money return to the city and spread the word.

More and more people come to pay a visit to the peerless tycoon!

Today, they borrow one yuan. Tomorrow, they borrow eighty cents.

It's embarrassing to borrow such a small amount!

Even when they borrow ten yuan, each one acts like they're overwhelmingly grateful.

Only after returning to the city do I discover it:

When did I become a major shareholder in all these companies?
