Chapter 270 E-Sports
Lam Fung injected 500 million US dollars into the "Second World" this time, and his cash was reduced to 250 million US dollars. He wanted to acquire the Sega Development Department and the US-based online advertising planning company named "avenue-a". , And the fund for the firefighters and the families of ordinary employees who died on September 11, I am afraid that Lin Feng will become a "pauper" again.
However, before this press conference, Lin Feng quietly purchased 50 million shares of Tencent.
At that time, Ma Huateng was almost shocked when he learned that someone wanted to buy a stake in Tencent. He thought that someone wanted to buy Tencent, and he almost didn't go to the bank to get a loan to buy back some Tencent shares. Later, after learning that it was Lin Feng's acquisition, he realized it was a false alarm. However, I also secretly admired Lin Feng's shrewdness. While lamenting that he had no money in his hands, Ma Huateng also repurchased 3 million shares of Tencent.
When Lin Feng bought 50 million Tencent shares, the market price was 18.5 yuan, and Lin Feng bought 925 million Hong Kong dollars. However, after announcing the strategic alliance between Tencent and the "Second World", Tencent's share price rose several price points on the same day, reaching 20.8 yuan. Later, after Lin Feng's "Second World" annexed "valve", Tencent's share price rose again due to the good news. By the closing price on October 4, Tencent's share price, which burst with good news, had risen to 22.1 yuan.
In just two days, Lin Feng made 180 million Hong Kong dollars by buying and selling Tencent stocks, and his cash in hand reached 273 million US dollars. This time, Lin Feng made a small profit.
The next day, October 5, after the press conference that shocked the world yesterday, Counter-Strike Online was suspended for maintenance for three days and then reopened.
October 5th is still Golden Week, but for those who travel, they are ready to go home. But for all players waiting in front of the computer, today is the second day of Golden Week. Today is only the second day of the "Counter-Strike Online Asia Edition" of "Second World" (called by netizens).
Although there is a three-day blank period, these three days are not difficult for most players, and even feel that they have a more fulfilling life than those who travel.
On the first day, the server was suspended for maintenance. Most people chose Legend or Audition to pass the time or conduct tactical discussions in Counter-Strike online.
On the second day, after a day of precipitation, most players have summarized the gains and losses in the first day of the game. The biggest problem is communication. In an instant first-person shooter game, if you want to switch to the QQ window to type, and then switch out, it is not only inconvenient, but also extremely dangerous. It is very likely that when you switch back, the game character has fallen on the enemy gun Under the mouth.
Many players who know many languages while browsing the official website of "Second World" Japan found that Japanese players use instant voice chat software to solve the communication problems during the game. Domestic players are preparing to respond to the "Second World", calling on the "Second World" to develop a voice chat software. Who knows, in the afternoon "Second World" reached a strategic alliance with Tencent to develop voice chat tools. Naturally, all players are satisfied.
On the third day, everyone got up to discuss not games, nor voice chat software, nor tactics. It was an advertisement broadcast by major TV stations last night. The heroine in the advertisement-Liu Yifei, an angel-like girl, makes people smile like a spring breeze. Of course, the extremely fashionable and trendy "Phantom" mp3 player in her hands has become the discussion among all players. Focus topic.
The morning was spent in discussions among many netizens about "Angel Girl" Liu Yifei and "Phantom" mp3 player. But in the afternoon, all the players were almost shocked, no, it should be said that they were shocked.
First, I heard that the "Second World" annexed the "valve" company that developed Half-Life and Counter-Strike. This is undoubtedly great news for all players. At least in the future, game operations and updates will be more secure. They can enjoy more complete services and experience more perfect games. Furthermore, "valve", a world-renowned game software company, was actually acquired by its own Chinese game company, which undoubtedly makes all players proud.

On this day, Chinese players feel embarrassed!
Lam Fung's announcement of Half-Life 2 next summer also delighted all Half-Life players. The most pleasant surprise is the world war that is still a bit unclear and unpredictable for the time being. However, the four words "Global Interconnection" marked on the official website alone are enough to attract the interest of all players. Most players regard it as the "counter-strike online global version." Although the splendor of the world war far exceeds the imagination of all players, it is undoubtedly enough to attract everyone's attention and expectations.
In the end, Lam Fung announced that it would host the "e-sports World Cup" and the establishment of the "e-sports league" will undoubtedly send players to *. It is no exaggeration to say that almost 100% of all counter-strike online players are fans of counter-strike and e-sports. The wcg e-sports competition that was just held in South Korea some time ago has opened the eyes of many players.
The champion of StarCraft gonia119 (South Korea) human race; the champion of Counter Strike: [:lnd:] (Canada); the champion of fifa2001: tnpa (South Korea), these are all familiar names.
But to the frustration of domestic players, most of the championships and runners-up were arranged by foreign players. China only won the StarCraft and fifa2001 championships in team competitions that are not valued by other countries. But for the counter-strike elites who really test teamwork, the Chinese team has fallen behind. This time, Lin Fengneng's hosting of the "e-sports World Cup" and "e-sports league" is undoubtedly good news for domestic players.
As for the domestic players to watch the game in the future, they don’t need to wait for the graphic introduction of major websites, they can watch it directly through online video (all players believe that Linfengtomato.com will definitely conduct a live video broadcast), and may even see these "e-sports. "The star in the world.
There are naturally foreign players who are as excited as domestic players. After all, e-sports is a new creature. For players who aspire to be a professional player, naturally the more competitions, the better, so that they can get more bonuses. As for the "e-sports league", although it is still a bit vague, I don't know what kind of mode Lin Feng's "e-sports league" is operated, but it has already been expected and welcomed by players all over the world.
After a day of excitement, many players finally ushered in the "Counter Strike Online Asia Edition" service. This time, Wu Zhaopu was scheduled to start the service on time at 8 o'clock in the morning. Learning from the last experience (the last time the server was opened at 11 o'clock, many players did not bury Wu Zhaopu on the "Second World" official website), Wu Zhaopu will naturally no longer listen to players' complaints. Moreover, after three days of incubation, Wu Zhaopu believes that today may be even more popular than the first day.
In fact, as Wu Zhaopu expected, ten minutes after the server was opened, the number of online users had equaled the number of online users on the first day-2.7 million. One hour later, the number of people exceeded 3 million, setting a new record for the highest number of online games. All online game companies were stunned and jealous.
Among them, 1.92 million Chinese players, 400,000 Taiwanese players, 600,000 Japanese players, and 450,000 Korean players, reaching 3.43 million in one fell swoop. Among them, the growth rate of Chinese players was not large, with an increase of 120,000 compared to the first day, and Taiwan players increased by 50,000. The real increase was the Japanese player, which increased by 200,000, which was also defeated by China on the first day. Because of the players, the Japanese players who were not convinced today vowed to save face. South Korean players have also risen by a full 200,000. This is also the first day that South Korean players who claim to be a country of e-sports ranked third. They lost face, under the hype of South Korean media, vowed to get the first place and prove themselves. The strength of the e-sports kingdom.
For this reason, the number of Chinese players and the number of players from other countries approached the average for the first time after the service was launched, which also avoided the field where most domestic players could only end up with civil wars.
After all players logged into the counter-strike online game, they were also pleasantly surprised to find that the game was faster than the previous ones, especially the screen during the battle was smoother, the operation was more refreshing, and some partial settings were more user-friendly.
Although minh-le admits that there is not much room for modification of the game, it has been optimized in accordance with Lin Feng's requirements. First of all, some unnecessary competition modes and scenes are removed to ensure that the game runs more smoothly and refreshed. Then there is a humane treatment in the online aspect. In view of the situation where most players are not an Internet cafe game, the option of adding friends is added in the game interface selection. After adding friends, you can turn on the option of "Enter the same group of maps with friends", so as to ensure that you and your friends are in the same Vice map game. This user-friendly setting naturally contributes to the excitement of the game.
Looking at the data report in his hand, Lin Feng was extremely satisfied. Although counter-strike online is not satisfactory in some places, it is undoubtedly successful. Persist in three years, wait until the advent of the world war, and then really sweep the online game market.
Later, Lin Feng held the first shareholder meeting after the merger of the company to decide on the company's direction next year, as well as his own series of plans for the "e-sports World Cup" and "e-sports league."
