The first day of the second world players' annual meeting starts at 8 a.m.
Early many players are waiting outside the stadium, ready to start today's game dream journey.
The first day of this year's players' annual meeting is a completely free activity. In the stadium, players can freely shuttle among them, choose to watch the wonderful duel between those "experts", and also choose to freely visit those activities with certain participation. However, the only difference between this year and the past is that there are 108 more movie stars on the scene of this year's players' annual meeting (only some movie stars appear each time according to different time periods). They wear the clothes in the movie to provide various services for the players (mainly taking photos). The most important thing for most players is to collect the photos of these 108 stars to exchange for the grand prize.
Standing on the "light of the century" viewing platform, looking at the endless stream of players in the stadium, Lin Feng and Wu Zhaopu sighed.
"Boss, the stadium is still too small to meet our needs!" Wu Zhaopu said helplessly.
With the success of "second world" in the international game industry and the growing reputation of Lin Feng, more and more players come to the "Second World players' annual meeting" every year. In the first year, I still feel that it's a little big to hold it in the stadium, but in the second year, it's just ready. This year, I obviously feel that the stadium is small and the venue is decorated, The players who come to visit can't squeeze any more after they go in.
Lin Feng nodded. It's true that the field is a little small now. This session has been packed like this. If it's the fourth time tomorrow, I don't know how it will be! Moreover, there is a problem in renting the stadium, that is, the layout of the whole scene is not arbitrary enough, and the sovereign side does not allow the "second world" to change at will, which makes Chen Xiaowei quite a headache when she first set up the scene. If you can own your own field, it would be perfect.
"Mr. Wu, it seems that the acquisition of land near the" light of the century "should be put on the agenda as soon as possible, rather than waiting for the right time!" Lin Feng said.
Wu Zhaopu was stunned.
"Boss, at present, the company's working capital is US $300 million. According to the current situation, the profit in 2004 can exceed US $1 billion, but even so, it can not support the huge capital needed to acquire the land near" Century Light ". After all, our company needs to repay up to US $300 million in debt (the debt of building century light, the debt of purchasing IMAX, the debt of purchasing blizzard, etc.) every year, as well as the planned investment and cash reserves every year. All these require money. In the next five years, the company can't afford such a large-scale acquisition! " Wu Zhaopu said with a frown.
After Lin Feng proposed to buy the land near the "light of the century", Wu Zhaopu evaluated the plan“ In the east of "light of the century", there is a building of industrial and Commercial Bank of China, with the Shanghai Branch of industrial and Commercial Bank of China at the bottom and an office building at the top, with a height of 30 floors. In the south, there is a large "Wal Mart" shopping mall. The building is shorter, with only 18 floors. However, in addition to "Wal Mart", there are also several major shopping malls, such as "industry, trade and household appliances". In the west, there is also an office building, with a height of 45 floors. If these three sides want to acquire and move it, Wu Zhaopu conservatively estimated that it was about 8 billion yuan (in fact, the value of the three buildings was only about 4.5 billion yuan, but with the completion of the "light of the century", the low prices here rose all the way, making its value almost doubled). As for the north, it is relatively easy to operate. It is a small leisure park. If you want to buy it, the cost should not be high, This can be negotiated with the Shanghai municipal government.
If the "second world" gripes its teeth, it is not that it can't take out 8 billion yuan. What's more, it can also solve this problem by making secondary loans to the three major banks under Lin Feng. However, if the company's debt burden is too high, it will affect investors' confidence in the company and the evaluation of the company by international credit rating agencies. At present, the company belongs to "AA" level in the evaluation report of "Moody's Investor Service Company", which means that the credit quality of AA level debt is very high, and there is only very low credit risk.
Once the loan is made again at this time, I'm afraid Moody's Investors Service will lower its rating, which will directly affect the confidence of investors. Once there is a problem in debt repayment or game sales, it will cause a chain of vicious events—— This is something Wu Zhaopu would never like to see.
Of course, there is another reason why Wu Zhaopu is not very willing to promote this plan.
"Boss, after the acquisition, the renovation of the square can attract more people, but the capacity of" dream world "downstairs of" light of the century "(Lin Feng has officially named" leisure and entertainment center "as" dream world ") is limited after all. Moreover, it is subject to its strategy of small profit but quick turnover. Even if the popularity is high, its profit is limited. It's really not cost-effective for us to transform high-rise buildings into squares! " This is the real reason why Wu Zhaopu is not willing to promote Lin Feng's plan.
Businessmen seek profits—— What's more, Lin Feng still lost money to make money, which made Wu Zhaopu a little confused. Of course, if the company develops into an empire like "Microsoft" and is too powerful to be destroyed, it is right to consider giving back to the society. But now the company's economy is not optimistic, and it is also heavily in debt. Lin Feng's plan really needs to be discussed.
Lin Feng smiles. Indeed, before I wanted to build it into a square, in addition to giving back to the society, I also wanted to earn some reputation and social praise for myself. Too much publicity, too dazzling, the so-called wood show in the forest, the wind will destroy it. Lin Feng couldn't stop others from enviing and hating him, so he had to strengthen his own strength. This kind of kindness and good reputation is what Lin Feng needs.
But it's wrong to pay too much attention to yourself and ignore the actual situation of the company itself. But just now when he saw the crowd in the distant Stadium on the top of the building, Lin Feng had a plan in his mind, a very bold plan.
"Mr. Wu, if we buy this land and build it into a theme park!" Lin Feng looked at the distance and said with a smile.
Scared! Theme Park! Build a theme park downtown—— Hearing Lin Feng's words, Wu Zhaopu almost fainted.
"Boss, don't you want to buy these high-rise buildings and build them into theme parks?" Wu Zhaopu exclaimed in surprise!
Build a theme park in the city center? This idea is from Mars. No, it's from Pluto. It's too exaggerated and incredible. It's not that it can't, it's just that it's not cost-effective. It's a bit too much investment. Moreover, once the theme park is built, the requirements for the site will be large. I'm afraid it's not enough to buy only a few buildings nearby and the small leisure park. If we refer to the "legend theme park", Wu Zhaopu wants to faint when he thinks about the required figures.
What's more, if you want to make money in the city center and prime location, you can build everything, which is far more profitable than "theme park". Wu Zhaopu wants to be crazy. He doesn't know what Lin Feng is thinking. He is full of these strange ideas. Although Lin Feng has money, it's not like that. Even if Lin Feng pays for it himself, he can't. After the Japanese stock market sniping incident, Lin Feng's $17.9 billion cash has been used for a long time. Although he can obtain unlimited financing through the bank, it is monitored by the market after all. Although Lin Feng is the chairman of the board and a major shareholder, he can't mess with it. At that time, once there is a problem in the capital chain, it will be enough to harm the whole "second Consortium" of Lin Feng.
What do you think? How does Wu Zhaopu feel that Lin Feng's idea is too outrageous!
Lin Feng hands Wu Zhaopu a glass of water to make him feel frightened.
"Ha ha, Mr. Wu, what I mean by" theme park "is different from what you imagine! What's more, the theme park I'm talking about can make money. It's no less than the rent for office building! " Lin fengxiao said.
Wu Zhaopu was stunned when he heard the speech. He couldn't figure out what Lin Feng meant. He pondered for a moment and drank all the tea in his hand.
"Boss, what do you want to do? You are in such a hurry Wu Zhaopu looks straight at Lin Feng. He really can't understand what Lin Feng is thinking! He felt that he and others really should be Lin Feng's "infinite terror" in Chu Xuan's words - the wisdom of mortals.
"Ha ha, Mr. Wu, I mean to build it into a theme park based on our company's games. After purchasing the buildings around it, we will transform it into a square, and then add our company's culture to it, so that all visitors and players can feel our company's culture all the time. Imperceptibly, I want everyone to become our company's customers! " Lin Feng explained.
Wu Zhaopu heard and nodded. He understood what Lin Feng meant. Lin Feng just wants to imitate the previous "blizzard", "Microsoft" and other companies to create the image and atmosphere of the whole company in the company Park, so that every employee can feel the atmosphere of the company every day at work, and increase employee loyalty and sense of identity to the company. If Lin Feng builds it in the urban area, it will undoubtedly "hypnotize" tourists and passers-by at the same time and increase their recognition of the company.
At present, Shanghai is China's economic center and the most populous city. The number of tourists is increasing year by year, and more and more tourists come to watch the "light of the century". If Lin Fenghua spends a lot of money to build it into a downtown park, it's really good.
You know, "second world" is a game it company. At present, its main profit is on the game. If you want to create a corporate culture, you will surely erect statues of its various game characters on the square, which will surely become a scene in Shanghai. Originally, the "light of the century" has been one of the most noteworthy scenic spots in the world. The 108 meter tall statue of Lin fengna has become one of the wonders of the world. If the "light of the century" as the center, built around the game natural exhibition, it will be able to attract more people to come to play.
This can not only directly enhance Shanghai's popularity, but also enhance the company's image. What's more, the "second world" will be more stable in Shanghai! In China, government support and no government support are two completely different concepts.
However, what puzzled Wu Zhaopu was what Lin Feng was going to make money with? After all, the investment is certainly not small. Since the square needs to be built, it must have a large area, and it must be grand enough to attract more people. But how can we make money from so much investment? Relying on the income of "dream world" is not enough! As for subsidizing by the profits of the "second world", it's a bit too much to gain. You know, if we really follow Lin Feng's plan to build a company culture after the acquisition of the square, and build a "Second World theme park" with the "light of the century" as the center, then the annual maintenance cost will be enough to make people miserable. If we can't make a profit, it will be too much to lose!
Wu Zhaopu looks at Lin Feng and hopes that Lin Feng can have a profit plan. What's more, Lin Fenggang also said that he can definitely make more money than renting office buildings. However, for now, Wu Zhaopu has not seen any profit possibility. I just saw money go out like water.
Lin Feng smiles.
"Ha ha, Mr. Wu, just standing here, what do you see?" Lin Feng pointed to the distance and asked.
Wu Zhaopu was stunned and didn't understand what Lin Feng said. Look around. It's as open as a field. I don't seem to see anything! UFO or alien—— Some mischievous pictures flashed through Wu Zhaopu's mind. But immediately, Wu Zhaopu took a cold breath, he vaguely understood the meaning of Lin Feng.
Just now, he and Lin Feng were standing on the viewing platform. What they saw was the crowd in the stadium. What they discussed was that the "narrow" stadium could no longer meet the needs of "second world". The company needed to find another place to hold the next "Second World players' annual meeting".
"Boss, do you want to build a game theme venue near here?" Wu Zhaopu pondered.
Lin Feng gives a thumbs up, Wu Zhaopu guesses right, Lin Feng is such a plan. After the acquisition of nearby land, Lin Feng plans to build many game themed venues nearby. This is to meet the needs of holding such large-scale player activities in the future. The second is to enhance the company's popularity and influence. The third is to increase profit projects for the company. The fourth is to increase the company's fixed assets.
"Boss, what are you going to do?" Wu Zhaopu still feels a little bit, not the brain. Although I know it's probably such a thing, I don't know how Lin Feng wants to do it. You know, this is a huge investment involving tens of billions of RMB. Wu Zhaopu's heart is a little pounding at the thought.
Lin Feng smiles and slowly spits out the plan in his heart( To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
