In the following period of time, the entire audience was mesmerized by what they saw.
Countless new and old games were released, various celebrities appeared on the stage, six huge TV screens, and So Cool video-sharing website's exclusive live broadcast had completely ignited this unique gamer's carnival!
The new online game "Iron Cavalry" was released, with Chu Zhongqin, who became very popular after his previous song, "Never Left," as the sole spokesperson. This was a third-person cold weapon war action role-playing game. It was a true replica of an ancient battlefield, allowing players to experience the excitement of fighting on horseback.
Jiang Ruoyu was the sole spokesperson for "The Big Adventure." This was an anime-style adventure online game that used global civilization as its world view, combining adventure, puzzle-solving, and many other gameplay styles. Zhong Dian website's famous author, Dark Dragon of the Universe, was the chief world view architect. He would also write a novel of the same name as his unsealed work …
Other than the release of the new products, what attracted more attention this year was the many celebrities who attended the event.
Almost all the singers who appeared in "I Am a Singer" were present, and it was enough to blind the audience. Not only that, the super cool gaming experience of these celebrities also ignited the entire atmosphere. Cheers, laughter, and whistles came one after another, and it didn't stop since the start of the carnival.
Then, it was the most important part of the game. Lin Zixuan brought all her subordinates onto the stage. Then, two golden words appeared on all the big screens — Draconic Continent!
This was the most popular online game in Heavenly State. When Lin Zixuan and the others started fighting, the entire stadium instantly quietened down.
Everyone present was a gaming enthusiast. Even if they hadn't played this game before, they had at least heard of its name. But no matter what, they didn't think that this game could be played like this!
Look at the continuous combo of skills, it was completely beyond everyone's imagination. This was a real expert, a top expert!
…
As an entertainment reporter, Tang Anqi originally came for the opening ceremony of the carnival.
But now, she realized that this first online gaming carnival was definitely not just a good opening ceremony.
This live in-game battle was the biggest factor that attracted him the most.
It wasn't that she hadn't played Draconic Continent before, but she didn't think that this game could be played to such an extent! E-Sports, this was the charm of E-Sports!?
After a few battles on the screen, Tang Anqi was completely captivated.
After being stunned for a full minute, Tang Anqi violently trembled and took pictures with all her might. "This is it! This is it! If today's images were to be released, they would definitely make the headlines! Absolutely! Hong Dali actually created an event that had never existed before! E-Sports, this was E-Sports! Look at the slaughter on the battlefield, it's not much weaker than sports! "
…
At 10 PM, the first MMORPG ended.
The excited gamers were reluctant to leave and blocked all the doors of the stadium. Countless people were calling their friends and relatives to find a game they liked to join.
The next day, the grand occasion of the carnival became the headline of the Heavenly State Morning News. A huge headline took up one-third of the entire newspaper — "The rise of a new generation of competitive events, the future prospects of e-sports!"
At noon, the live stream of the carnival on So Cool's video-sharing website broke the 4 million mark.
In the afternoon, there were a total of 1,785,871 posts about the gaming carnival on all search engines, and it was still climbing rapidly. The live high-definition video of the carnival had been downloaded 2,564,788 times.
That night, all the large online game companies reported success. The number of people online had increased by at least a dozen percent.
The third day, Saturday, all the internet cafes in the country were full. Countless gamers started to rush into the game to fight, just to experience the thrill of PK.
On the fourth day, Mingxin Network Corporation's CEO, Liu Mingxin, announced that another new pure battle online game, "Dream Dota League," designed by Hong Dali and supported by Mingxin Network, had started production. Then, Liu Mingxin released a portion of the settings of the heroes.
Instantly, the entire Internet was in an uproar.
Mingxin Network Corporation's stock directly increased by 23 percent.
…
Chenhui Building, ninth floor, in a small conference room.
"Master, Old Elder," Ling Xiaoyi held a report in her hand and was using her laptop to have a video conference with Hong Weiguo and Hong Tu. "The total expenses for this gaming carnival have been calculated."
"En, how much is it in total? Quickly tell us. " Old Elder Hong Tu stroked his beard. "The commotion this time isn't small at all. Now, the news of the carnival this time is all over the internet. From what I remember, there shouldn't be so many people playing games. "
Just then, Hong Weiguo smiled and said, "Dad, actually, there weren't that many people playing games. But humans all like novelty. This time, Hong Dali made this carnival very lively, and there were so many celebrities supporting him. Plus, with Black Tortoise's appearance, it's not surprising that it was so popular. But what I'm more curious about is, did the carnival really not lose money this time? "
It was no wonder that he was curious. Speaking of which, Hong Weiguo really didn't care about the investment of a few million, but the problem was the outcome. After this amount of money was invested, was it a profit or a loss?
This concerned whether the title of Hong Dali's Rookie King of the Year was real, so he couldn't help but be anxious.
After all, a person's reputation was like a tree's shadow. No one wished for their precious son to ruin their reputation.
"Master, if it's just from the scene, it's a loss." Ling Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Renting the venue, building the stage, and those six big screens all cost quite a lot of money. Altogether, it's a total of 4.18 million."
"En, that's normal." Hong Weiguo nodded and said, "After all, the scene is free. Then, what about other income, how much is it?"
All the expenses of the venue were free, so a loss of 4.18 million wasn't strange. What Hong Weiguo was really concerned about was whether there was income from other aspects, and if there was, how much would it be — for example, those celebrities' endorsements.
"The income from other aspects is still very good." Ling Xiaoyi smiled as she reported one by one. "Currently, there's a total of 12 celebrities who have endorsed 14 online games, and the endorsement fee is a total of 8.4 million. On average, the endorsement fee paid by each online game company is 700,000."
Upon hearing Ling Xiaoyi's words, Hong Weiguo and Hong Tu inhaled a breath of cold air.
Well, the profit had doubled just like that. If the portion given to the celebrities was deducted, it wouldn't be a problem for Hong Dali to be left with 4 million.
Ling Xiaoyi continued, "Because of the online gaming fest this time, Young Master Liu Mingxin's shares in Mingxin Network increased by 23%. That is to say, it's equivalent to an increase of about 80 million in total assets, and it's still slowly increasing."
Hong Weiguo wiped off his cold sweat — he knew that the things that Hong Dali came up with were often linked to the stock market. In the end, this time, it actually directly caused Liu Mingxin's company's shares to increase by as much as 23%. Now, it seemed that there was no loss in following his precious son …
Hong Tu's beard trembled as he turned his head and said to Mu Yuxi, who was not far behind him, "Yuxi, did you hear that?"
Mu Yuxi expressed her grievance. "I heard that, Old Elder. But regarding Young Master Dali, I don't understand …"
Squandering was a skill, how could it be so easy to learn?
Hong Tu expressed that he understood Mu Yuxi's words. Initially, he didn't think that Hong Dali's online gaming fest would be so profitable. Originally, he thought that it would just be the ticket money and the surrounding small goods. In the end, Hong Dali directly caused Liu Mingxin's company's shares to skyrocket, and it was an asset of 70 to 80 million …
Then, Ling Xiaoyi continued to report. "The surrounding models, clothing, watches, stickers, and the like earned a total of 1.2 million in dividends. As the exclusive beverage of this online gaming fest, Might Beverages' sales increased by 15% compared to the past. Therefore, Young Master Dali's 10% share also increased by quite a lot. "
Hong Weiguo nodded. "En, this is still considered normal."
Then, the following part was not normal …
Ling Xiaoyi continued. "Currently, because Young Master West Fourth Loop has been holding such popular events all year round, there have been rumors that many young men and women have set their new houses in West Fourth Loop after they get married. The property prices in West Fourth Loop have increased by nearly 10%."
"Really?!" Upon hearing Ling Xiaoyi's words, Hong Weiguo was stunned. Speaking of which, he really didn't pay much attention to such matters recently. It had always been the real estate resources department that was in charge of the planning. He instantly took out his phone and called. "Hello, Xiao Liu, are you in the real estate resources department now? I heard that the property prices in West Fourth Loop have increased by another 10%?! "
"CEO Hong, this …" Xiao Liu's tone was hesitant. "The specific increase is … is …" He paused for a while, gritted his teeth, and stomped his feet. "It's 16%, and it's still gradually increasing!"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?! I could have bought a few more pieces of land! "Hong Weiguo was a little angry." Such a big matter! "
"CEO Hong." Secretary Xiao Liu expressed that he felt wronged. "I'm almost overwhelmed with work here. Every day, people come to ask about the development of the district. The most important thing is that the increase is still continuing. The matter that Young Master Dali created recently is a little too big, and I'm busy with the big piece of land from Tianjing Mountain to West Fourth Loop, so it's been delayed …"
Once Xiao Liu finished speaking, Hong Weiguo instantly remembered. "Right, right, right. I almost forgot if you didn't mention it. How's the negotiation for that piece of land?"
That was a piece of land worth more than two billion, it wasn't child's play! As long as they could buy it and develop it well, they would definitely earn a lot.
"Over there …" Secretary Xiao Liu's tone was even weirder this time. "The people from the Land and Resources Department wanted three billion at first. I'm also having a headache over this matter. After all, it's half of our offer. So, I originally thought that it would be very difficult to come to an agreement. I didn't expect … CEO Hong, where are you? I'd better tell you in person! "Speaking up to this point, he actually didn't say anything else!
