2008, finally.
When the bell rings in the early morning of 2008, the whole world is boiling. Welcome to the New Year!
This year's new year is also the coldest one for Lin Feng. In previous years, all the beauties were around. We played mahjong together to welcome the new year. This year, because we are going to meet in New York to participate in the seventh "20th Carnival", and we have just got together this Christmas. We just separated and flew to China, so we don't have to work. So, everyone is busy with their own business.
Melissa and Natalie are the only two secretaries left by Lin Feng, and the rest are busy.
"Do you think I'm alone?" Lin Feng turned his mouth.
Melissa and Natalie look at each other and both smile. They seldom see Lin Feng so lonely and lonely. It's always surrounded by a group of flowers, so I'm not proud of the scenery. Now, it's a lonely person. What is it called? you deserves it!
"Well, look at your thoughts. You'll be gloating. Poor me, don't you two accompany me! " Lin Feng said with a smile, "if you are pitiful, I think you two are more pitiful than me. This new year, want to have a rest, but the result was a lonely boss to shout to accompany. If you don't want it, you can't. Tell me, what a pity
well! As soon as Natalie and Melissa hear this, they are not happy. If you are so poor, they immediately fight with Lin Feng. The three people here are very poor, and the Internet is boiling at the moment.
Since the official announcement of "second world" that there will be a audition for ordinary players from all countries, representing all countries to participate in the "seventh Second World Carnival", the whole network has been boiling. This is not only because they can go to face-to-face exchanges and competitions with players all over the world, it also represents the level of video games in their respective countries, which is a symbol of honor. For the status of each country in the e-sports industry, players from all countries naturally take the lead.
What's more, second world also promised to cover all the round-trip air tickets, accommodation and catering expenses of all the competitors. This welfare, but the Olympic Games are not. This naturally excites players from all over the world. After all, in this world, rich people are always in the minority, whether they are developed countries or poor countries. Such generous free benefits are naturally coveted by the public.
As a result, players from all over the world are now participating in all kinds of elimination competitions on the Internet, constantly sprinting for the qualification of the "Second World Carnival" on January 15. According to the official statistics of the second world, there are more than 700 million people online.
There are 700 million people playing games under the "second world" online platform. They are making final efforts for the few places!
At present, the global population has exceeded 6.5 billion. 700 million, almost one ninth of the earth's population, are playing the game of forest wind. It's a terrible ratio. Anything with 10000 people can be regarded as well-known. More than 100000, even if it's a local brand. Over a million, it is a national famous brand. More than ten million, that is the world brand. More than 100 million, that is the world famous brand.
Now, it's not the number of players, but the number of online players exceeds 700 million, and the actual number of players is estimated to exceed 1 billion. What's the level of a brand that we all like? It can't be described in any language. At least for now, there is no commercial brand in the world with 1 billion users. What's more, the real numbers may be far more than that.
In today's "second world", in addition to these big games, there are more and more small games. These small games are mainly aimed at mobile party, usually time is not much, mostly fragmented time. Therefore, Lin Feng has made people develop many games suitable for playing with fragmented time, such as "bubble dragon", "Elimination Games", and chess and card games, which are suitable for people of all ages.
Basically, as long as there are smartphone users, they are equipped with "second world" games. Of course, there are a lot of game companies in this world. It's impossible to develop games by "second world" alone. Other game companies are watching. However, the second world has an innate advantage. The system is owned by Lin Feng, so it's natural to develop it quickly. Moreover, Lin Feng's foresight, which was developed ahead of time, naturally leads other companies. For other game companies, unless there are games that can surpass the "second world" standard, it is undoubtedly very difficult for consumers who have formed consumption habits to change their gateways.
Therefore, according to Lin Feng's estimation, the total number of registered members of the Second World Games should exceed 1.5 billion, or even 1.7 billion. And with the popularity of mobile phones, Lin Feng believes that the number will rise. And in a decade or two, when the first generation who came into contact with the Internet is old, the world will probably be a member of Lin Feng.
These huge membership base is the driving force of Lin Feng's financial resources.
"Boss, a total of 89 countries have signed up for the competition. In three days, players from all countries will be selected. There will be nearly 100 players in each country. After all, nearly a thousand people will attend the New York carnival. According to the current calculation of the finance department, the expenses per person will be as high as $5000. That would add up to five million dollars. This money, though not much. The company can afford it. But I think we can use these players to earn the money back. We should invest globally! " In the wind, Melissa called to offer.
"That's a good proposal, Melissa. But global investment is not now. First of all, time is a little too tight at present, and there is not enough time. Second, it's not well-known enough now. When it comes to investment promotion, those advertisers are all good at it, and their prices won't be too high. So, we don't care about the small money, we will hold this grand event grand, can attract the global attention, then naturally don't worry about advertising Lin Feng said with a smile, "in addition, on TV, it's all free, and it's broadcasted by any country!"
It's free this year, but it won't be free next year. As long as this year is successful enough, sensational enough and eye-catching enough, next year, Lin Feng will not worry about making money. This year, as it is the first time that the "Second World Carnival" has been held outside China, many people think that the reason why this activity can be so popular is that it has been held in China before and the number of Chinese players is too large. If we change countries, it may not be so popular.
Therefore, since those people belittle themselves, they will hold the most popular "New York Carnival" for them, so that people all over the world can know that games can no longer be niche, E-sports or niche sports, but can also become mainstream sports! Even if it is not as popular as football and basketball, it can definitely attract hundreds of millions of players in the global market at least.
"By the way, boss, are you sure? Accept the challenge of professional players? " Asked Lisa in the wind.
"Don't worry. No problem Lin Feng nodded.
Now that Nu Wa can follow Lin Feng freely, Lin Feng will be more confident. Although Nu Wa will not directly intervene in the competition, she can predict in advance. And her prediction, however, is absolutely accurate and will not go wrong. When you can be a prophet, who can stop you?
New year's day, so in the light of Lin Feng, crazy in the network in the past. When the final national audition player representatives decided, the whole network is a blessing. These players will represent their respective countries and go to New York to face off with players from other countries. Their performance will determine the position of their respective countries in the global national competitive rankings. This is glory! Supreme glory!
All the final winners made impassioned speeches on the Internet and vowed to do their best to win glory for the country! Yes, to win glory for our country! To win glory for our country is not only for China. It's the same abroad. It is also true that the interests of the country and the nation are supreme. Even in the United States, American citizens have the heart to win honor for their country and defend national dignity.
It's the same all over the world. It is this heart of honor that makes the "seventh Second World Carnival" crazy even before it starts. A large number of players began to gather in New York. This super metropolis, to wait for the carnival to start.
At the moment, the whole city of New York is already full of posters about the "seventh Second World Carnival". With the strong support of mayor Blumberg, more than 10 million New Yorkers know that this city will hold an unprecedented grand game event. Although its specifications are no better than the Olympic Games, in the history of New York, they are only second to the Olympic Games.
New York should not only be the capital of finance, but also the capital of games. That's what he envisioned. He wants to bring more culture, more future, more innovation to New York!
"This Blumberg, he really has a heart! Well, let's go to New York, too! " Lin Feng laughs.
Of course, the carnival is about to begin, and Donald's presidential oath will be made on the 20th. It can be said that Lin Feng is not only coming to the carnival, but also witnessing that his good friend, Donald, will officially become the next president of the United States. Once you take the oath, that's not going to change.
"Ivanka, congratulations. I'm going to be the first lady in the United States!" Lin Feng is on the special plane, joking.
"Lin, I'm naturally happy that my father became president of the United States. But I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing. His character as president will certainly offend a lot of people. If anything happens, you should be responsible for it! " Ivanka also revealed a little worry under the joy.
