Reborn Millennial Gamer

Friday, April 1.

At night, the Internet cafe is lit like daylight, and there is a "monster" represented by Qilixiang standing at the door, a billboard linking with "World of Warcraft", and posters on the walls.

Thanks to the overwhelming advertisements and the popularity of Warcraft IP brought by Sky's WCG champion, there were more than [-] machines in the audience, except for a few sporadic screens, which displayed "Audition", "Miracle", "Legend of Blood" ...

The rest is all about World of Warcraft.

At 40:30 at this time, only ten minutes had passed since the server was officially opened, and more than [-] players rushed in, like a flood of [-] servers opened by a beast.

One by one, the server load is booming.

The hot scene is comparable to the nostalgic clothes more than ten years later.

"Fuck, you bastard, you can't even squeeze in!"

"Hey, I don't believe it, I can't squeeze any of these servers into it."

"Squeeze in, I'll squeeze in!"

"..."

There are all kinds of beings in the Internet cafes. Those who have successfully entered the game are either complacent or excited, and those who wait in line are cursing or restless.

Some even simply lost patience and simply stopped playing.

Wang Bing is one. He quit "World of Warcraft" angrily, shaking his legs restlessly:
"Oh my god, my Internet fee of 3 yuan an hour actually makes me stand in line for 26 minutes, stop playing, what kind of rubbish game!"

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly discovered that the man on the right had squeezed into the game for the first time, and created a human character named Thief Sao Bao, which was actually the "Daqingshan" of "Mercenary World".

Watching others play, but I can't play, my heart seems to have a million words of mmp, surging.

"Daqingshan" was just born in Azeroth, and the entire novice village is magnificent, full of people, more people than monsters, even if you want to find an npc, you are surrounded by circles of people.

"Tch, but that's it, what's the point of this."

Wang Bing had a sour mouth, but he stared straight at the screen without squinting. Seeing that "Daqingshan" couldn't catch the monsters, he simply gave up fighting monsters and opened the map.

The words "Storm City" came into view.

"Daqingshan" ran wildly along the main road, without any big monsters blocking the way. After walking for more than ten minutes without knowing it, suddenly, a majestic castle stood not far away.

Ah, the city!

Ah, the water!

Ah, tonight!

Wang Bing's eyes stared straight, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, like a country turtle who came to the city for the first time and was completely frightened.

There is such a magical game in this world?
But when the mind was blank, the melody of the music could be vaguely heard in the ears. It was obvious that the low-quality earphones were leaking sound, small but unusually clear, and a song "Stormwind City" sounded immediately.

When Wang Bing heard this, his blood surged immediately.

The player operating "Daqingshan" trembled all over, and forgot to operate in a daze.

"Well, I will definitely play this game nm!"

Wang Bing came back to his senses, with a look of "really fragrant", and couldn't wait to log in to "World of Warcraft" again.

Ever since, Azeroth has one more alliance dog.

…………

Four hours after the public beta test, it was only 0:[-] in the morning, and the server was fully loaded, and a large-scale queue began.

Thanks to the stress test done by Penguin, extra servers were prepared in advance as a reserve team. Facing hundreds of thousands of people, they all moved out, but they still couldn't resist.

There are still tens of thousands of people, struggling to line up.

In an instant, an article titled "World of Warcraft's first day of server launch set a record, the number of simultaneous online users exceeded 80", topped Sogou's 24-hour hot spot list, and also hung high on the homepages of Penguin, Wangyi, and Xinlang. .

For a moment, the entire game circle was shocked.

Shanghai stock market, Shanda.

With a serious expression, Chen Tianqiao stared closely at the top quality "World of Warcraft" at that time, sometimes sighed, and sometimes gritted his teeth:
"It must have been at the E3 game show that year. It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong, right? This game should be grand!"

"Mr. Chen, isn't Blizzard a stand-alone game company? How can there be an online game?"

Tang Jun was depressed and confused.

What's more depressing is that the MMO market is already a red sea, and the first-mover advantage and competitiveness of "Legend" are weakening. "World of Warcraft" is like a blow to dimensionality reduction. Only one game can wipe out the entire Shanda game department. Even MMO games.

"I also thought that Blizzard would only do stand-alone games, but I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it."

Chen Tianqiao said so, but it wasn't true.

He actually knew that there was such an online game, but the Chinese online game market at that time was full of Korean style MMOs, and those who had represented European and American online games were all ruined, and the European and American online games were a wasteland.

How could I have imagined that "World of Warcraft" would become it!
"As expected of Mr. Lu, he picked up another cornucopia."

Tang Jun was not without emotion, and there was admiration in his tone.

"Yeah, Boss Lu is lucky, he made the right bet."

Chen Tianqiao restrained his emotions and remained expressionless.

Tang Jun comforted: "Mr. Chen, we are not bad either. The new agent's "Strong Band" and "Street Basketball" will certainly be able to eat the cake of casual online games like Penguin."

"Online games are just trails. Shanda can't be a penguin. It can be a great instant messaging company, but it's living like a game company."

Chen Tianqiao said with a straight face: "We want to weaken the game, reduce the dependence on the game, and develop towards diversification."

Tang Jun echoed, "Mr. Chen has a good opinion."

Chen Tianqiao asked: "So the top priority is to win the new wolf as soon as possible. What's the situation now and how much have you bought?"

Tang Jundao: "We bought 30% secretly at around 31 or 1.26 yuan."

"Why are there so few?" Chen Tian Qiao hurriedly stood up, "How can you take control if you are so few!"

"Mr. Chen, don't worry, I'm waiting for the opportunity."

Tang Jun said with a smile: "In February, New Wolf will hold a financial report conference call, and then release the annual financial report. If it does poorly, the market will inevitably fall. The day when the stock price falls, is the time for Shanda to buy in large quantities."

"good very good!"

Chen Tianqiao's complexion changed drastically, and he laughed loudly: "Mr. Tang, there will be no mistake in holding Xinlang, right?"

"Probably not. The shareholder structure of Xinlangdao is very scattered. No single shareholder occupies an absolute equity position, nor does it have relative holding power."

Tang Jundao: "So far, there is only one fund called 'Three Body' that holds more than 10% of New Wolf's shares, 10.71%. Even Mr. Lu only has 8.49%."

"Then wait until the conference call in February! Then, in one go, take the controlling stake and snatch Xinlang from Mr. Lu's hands."

Chen Tianqiao was so excited that he punched the table.

…………

"Ah!"

Lu Fei took out a tissue and wiped his nose vigorously.

The evening sun shone on his face, and the dark circles around his eyes were particularly eye-catching, left over from a long day of gaming.

Since rebirth, it has been a long time since the symptoms of "severe Internet addiction", "World of Warcraft" is one of the exceptions.

After all, the gameplay may be copied, and the technology will not always be one step ahead, but the emotion can never be erased.

That was my youth!

Azeroth is my second world!Who is for and who is against?
"Ha~"

Holding the coffee in both hands, Lu Fei took a big sip: "Fuck, why don't you let Yuanyuan go to the China Film Group's dinner, I'm ready..."

While talking to himself, the mobile phone next to the mouse rang, and Xu Xin's business-like voice sounded when he connected——

The loan contract is formally signed.

"Hey, the fish has been hooked, and we'll see the performance of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the police."

Lu Fei quit the game, stood up and stretched.

"One more thing, Shanda has taken action against Xinlang, and has quietly bought stocks these days."

Xu Xin said: "As you guessed, it seems that they want to win a relative controlling stake in Xinlang."

Lu Fei snapped his fingers, and Chen Tianqiao entered his game.

Three Body Fund opened a position in September last year. The purchase price ranged from US$19 to US$23, 10.71%, and the average price per share was US$21.77.

As of today, the closing price was $29.50.

On the day of Shanda's brutal acquisition, the stock price will inevitably rise sharply, and at that time, it will be sold high. It only took 5 months, but the profit was at least tens of millions of dollars.

"How do we deliver our goods to Chen Tianqiao?"

Xu Xin was extremely happy.

"Leave it all to him, slowly." Lu Fei said
Xu Xin said: "Let it all go to him? If you let him go, you will lose your position as the largest shareholder. Are you willing?"

"What is the largest shareholder? What I want is the controlling stake in the entire New Wolf. Sister Xin, just watch me operate."

Lu Fei repeatedly urged, before the new wolf's financial report is released, gradually let go of 5%.

Then simply wash up and step out the door.

Wang Ben had already parked the car at the door and waited quietly:
"Boss, where are you going?"

"Oulante Private Club."
