China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 117 115. Making money again (for subscription)

In November, the Jiuzhaigou part of "Sculpture of the Gods" was finally finished, and the crew began to move to Xiangshan Film and Television City to shoot the part of Chongyang Palace.

It was just this month that the major Internet cafes in Huaxia posted "World of Warcraft" promotional posters everywhere.

"This is Zhao Ling'er from Immortal Sword. She is so beautiful. Does she also play Warcraft?"

"This is Anu, right? Why is this character so fun?"

"Is this Shen Lanlan? The one from Super Girl? But what kind of image is this, so handsome."

Many young boys, standing in front of the posters, have become very interested in this game that will be tested tonight.

A few young people swallowed for a while in front of the poster, with the images of a few characters still lingering in their minds, they walked into the Internet cafe.

In 04, computers were still a luxury for ordinary families, and most young people could only come to Internet cafes if they wanted to play games.

But for some reason, more than half of the more than 100 computers in this Internet cafe today are occupied. On the computer screen, there are not CF, but "QQ Dance", and "Running Kart", even the once popular CS, now Play very little, after all, CS is not an online game.

At around 50:[-], many young people quit the current game one after another, opened the "World of Warcraft" interface, and were ready to register and log in at any time.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Penguin Company, Lu Huateng announced confidently: "Open the server!"

After more than a month of QQ's overwhelming publicity, plus the posters of various Internet cafes, he is also full of confidence in this game at this time.

Just 3 minutes after the server was launched, the data showed that [-] players had flooded into the game.

Within 10 minutes of opening the server, the number of players suddenly exceeded 50, and all servers became popular.

"Fuck, I'm not mistaken, this is about to line up?"

The few people who were slow at the moment registered their accounts, selected their characters, and prepared to log in, but found that it took more than half an hour to queue up.

"Fuck, it's a broken game, I really don't want to play it anymore."

Many players cursed and cursed. After all, Internet cafes calculate their money by time. If you queue up by yourself, every minute is money.

You can see the computers that have logged into the game next to you, and your eyes are immediately attracted.

"so many people?"

There was only one novice village, which was full of players, and the map looked quite spectacular. The player didn't fight monsters, but wandered around on a brand new map.

"What a big map!"

This game is different from any previous ones. The 3D effects, top-notch picture quality, and background music all make him want to experience it.

"Isn't it just three yuan, I must go in and have a look!"

The young man quietly sat back on the chair, staring at the computer for the time that was slowly decreasing.

The public test lasted for an hour, and there were more people queuing up, and the server was fully loaded. Even if Cao Yu said in advance that a spare server was prepared, it still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the players.

"Mr. Lu, the number of players has exceeded 80!"

"I was right when I heard Mr. Cao."

In the technical department, upon hearing such discussions, Lu Huateng took it seriously and breathed a sigh of relief.

0.45 yuan per person per hour, 80 people, that is 36 yuan, a month
Lu Huateng's breathing was somewhat difficult.

Although Penguin has firmly taken the top spot in domestic games, he was still shocked by the speed at which Warcraft made money.

"Tomorrow, increase the bandwidth of the server, and strive to ensure that 100 million people are online at the same time."

Lu Huateng finally announced, but the expenditure was totally worth it.

Xiangshan, after ten o'clock in the evening, Cao Yu was still lying on the bed in the hotel, talking about the dizzy jokes he heard from the Demon King, which made Yang Mi blush.

He knew about the opening of the World of Warcraft server today, but unfortunately, the film and television city is quite far from the urban area, so he could only give up the urge to go to an Internet cafe to experience it once, and stay with his sister in the hotel.

Just when he was about to relax before going to bed, Lu Huateng called.

"Brother Lu, how are you?"

"This game has exploded, brother, I really convinced you, how do you know that Warcraft will be popular?"

"A man's intuition."

Hearing Lu Huateng's excited voice, Cao Yu was humorous for a while, and then said: "Brother Lu, although World of Warcraft has become popular, we have only been an agent for six years after all. After six years, Blizzard will definitely increase the price."

"Well, I've considered that."

"Therefore, when I finish filming, we must also develop a game. I will find you when I finish filming, and let's have a good talk."

"Row."

Lu Huateng's confidence in the game has greatly increased now, and he also trusts Cao Yu even more.

Moreover, World of Warcraft is on fire, and Penguin's stock should not skyrocket again!
Lu Huateng seemed to see mountains of gold.

The next day, a piece of news titled "The first day of World of Warcraft's server opening exceeded 80 people" appeared on the homepages of well-known domestic websites such as Penguin and Baidu, which immediately caused an earthquake in the game circle.

Shanda, Wangyi and other game companies felt regretful and envious after watching the exquisite graphics of Warcraft, and sighed at Penguin's skyrocketing stock price.

"It's late. I didn't expect Warcraft to be so popular. Blizzard has been making stand-alone games before. How does Penguin know that he has online games?"

But it was too late to regret it. They had already inquired. Blizzard signed a six-year contract with Penguin. After six years, they must grab the agency right!
Making money from games is one thing. A good game can drive up the stock price. Don't they know?
"Make money, make money!"

Cao Yu also watched the news, as well as the stock market. Today, thanks to the explosion of "World of Warcraft", Penguin's stock market has reached 46.7 Hong Kong dollars, more than four times that of when it opened.

But he also knows that this is not the end, but just the beginning.

After refreshing for a while, Cao Yu walked out of the hotel and saw Liu Xiaoli drinking coffee in the lobby cafe and watching the financial news with a happy face.

"Auntie, congratulations, the stock has soared."

Cao Yu sat directly opposite Liu Xiaoli with a smile on his face.

"Hehe, thank you for that."

Liu Xiaoli put down her coffee, looked at Cao Yu, and sincerely thanked her.

Penguin stock made her earn more than 100 million, all thanks to Cao Yu.

Cao Yu beckoned the waiter to bring a cup of coffee, and then said with a smile, "Thank you? Orally?"

"The Promise hasn't finished filming yet."

Liu Xiaoli smiled and seemed to have a plan in mind.

"It's still filming, but I heard that someone wants Sissi to sign with Sony."

"Sissy won't hide anything from you."

Liu Xiaoli smiled lightly, took another sip of coffee and said, "This may not be possible."

"That's enough for you."

Cao Yu also admired this woman's scheming in his heart. It seemed that he had been shaken, but he still wanted to see his sincerity.

But he didn't say too much, after drinking the coffee, he was about to leave.

At this time, Liu Yifei also came over after finishing her breakfast.

"Mom, Cao Yu, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing, nonsense."

Cao Yu smiled casually, and suddenly remembered what was going to be filmed today, and asked, "Is today's filming the part of the hero meeting?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

"It's okay, let's go to the studio together."

Cao Yu didn't know if that salty pig's hand would appear in today's scene, but if he let himself see it, that kid would not be able to eat it, so he walked around.

The hero meeting is the most important scene in the first half of "The Condor of the Gods".

"That little dragon girl is so beautiful..."

Several beggars gathered together, chatting and pointing at Liu Yifei.

"If you're not pretty, can you play Little Dragon Girl?"

"If only I could say a few words with her and take a photo with her."

"Don't dream, you didn't see her mother following her all the time."

Suddenly, a co-star who hadn't spoken much said, "Hehe, talking in a group photo is nothing, I can touch her, do you believe it or not?"

"Bragging you."

The others burst out laughing. It was impossible to take a group photo. How could they touch it?There is no chance in the next life.

"How about, let's make a bet, if I touch it, you lose me 100 yuan."

The group performer had already made up his mind. He had read today's announcement, and there was a scene in which the little dragon girl seized the leader of the martial arts alliance and was thrown up by beggars.

There must have been a lot of people at that time, and no one would find out if they were stealing money secretly. Moreover, Liu Yifei felt that she was being taken advantage of at a young age, so she was definitely embarrassed to say it out on the spot.

Hearing what he said, the others immediately said: "Okay, if you can't do it, give us 100 yuan each."

"It's a word."

The guy smiled wretchedly, looked at the beautiful girl in white in the distance, rubbed his hands, and couldn't wait.
