After leaving Yunqing TV Station, Xiao Yunhai went to the company's headquarters again.
Magic Visual Effects was still very busy. Countless people came to discuss business every day. Even though Daniel had recently hired more than a hundred people, it was still not enough to meet the demand.
Fortunately, they had started to use the new special effects technology from Paramount Pictures, which increased their efficiency by a quarter. Otherwise, they would probably be even busier.
At this time, the movies that required them to do post-production effects were already two months old. The profits for the first half of the year would be at least five billion USD.
Mo Yina's Marvel management company was also full of talents. Not only did David Hartnett join, but another actress, Phyllis Gabriel, was also persuaded by Mo Yina to join Marvel. As for the actors that were promoted by Marvel, there were even more. There were more than twenty of them, and all of them had entered the ranks of Hollywood's A-list actors. Their value had increased many times compared to before.
Storm Game Company's Warcraft was affected by the World Cup. The number of online users inevitably decreased by more than forty percent. However, Storm was already doing well.
Other companies' games were even worse. Steyr Networks' games decreased by more than sixty-five percent.
Moreover, Warcraft was still the undisputed number one in terms of market share, occupying more than fifty percent of the market share. It could bring Xiao Yunhai more than a hundred million USD in income every day.
Two days after the World Cup ended, Warcraft not only returned to normal, but the number of online users increased by ten percent compared to before the World Cup. It could be said that it was an unexpected surprise.
There was also a rough outline for War of the Kings. After Warcraft was funded, Seymour recruited over two hundred technicians to join Storm and put all their efforts into developing War of the Kings. After a few months, there was a lot of progress. With the current progress, it was estimated that the game would be released next year.
Of course, it would depend on the situation of Warcraft. If it could still occupy more than thirty percent of the market share, then Clash of the Kings would have to be released later to prevent the two games from competing with each other and affecting Xiao Yunhai's income.
Marvel Comics was also doing very well. Excluding Xiao Yunhai's "Grandmaster" and the few superhero movies, they had invested in 16 movies of various sizes this year and had earned more than 8 billion in profits. It was very good.
Other than that, the anime toys were also selling well, with a profit of 2.8 billion USD.
The construction of Marvel Kids Land had basically been completed. The amusement parks that were already in business had a significant increase in traffic, and the profits were about three billion US dollars.
Seeing that his company was developing well, Xiao Yunhai was very satisfied. He gathered Raúl, Mo Yina and the other people in charge and praised them in the meeting room. He said that as long as they continued, he would give them a big red packet at the end of the year.
After returning from the company, Xiao Yunhai had a simple lunch and then went to catch the plane.
Ever since Xiao Yunhai bought a private jet, he basically relied on it to travel. After a long time, he didn't feel anything.
Now that he had given the private jet to his wife, Zhao Wanqing, Xiao Yunhai chose to take a passenger plane again and suddenly felt very inconvenient.
After waiting for two hours, Xiao Yunhai and a few bodyguards boarded the plane.
Even after boarding the plane, Xiao Yunhai still felt uncomfortable.
Even though he had bought a first-class cabin, it was still a far cry from the comfort of his own private jet.
Many passengers were pleasantly surprised when they saw Xiao Yunhai. They came to him one after another, asking for his autograph and taking photos. This made Xiao Yunhai very annoyed, but he had no choice but to put on an amiable and approachable appearance and interact with his fans.
After flying for ten hours, Xiao Yunhai finally arrived at the New York airport. The person who came to pick him up was Williams Ash, a shareholder of the Steyr Networks board of directors.
"Mister Xiao, long time no see." Ai Shen was very courteous to Xiao Yunhai, faintly revealing a trace of respect.
Xiao Yunhai shook hands with him and found that the passengers around seemed to be looking at him. He quickly said, "Mr. Ash, let's get in the car first. If I'm recognized, I'll be in big trouble. "
Ash nodded and got into a top-of-the-line Lincoln with Xiao Yunhai.
"Mr. Xiao, I really didn't expect you to get 9.8% of Mark Benton's shares. In this way, our chances of winning are much higher."
Ash was very impressed with Xiao Yunhai's ability.
He had fought with David Steyr all his life and knew how powerful he was. However, he didn't expect David Steyr to lose so much in the World Cup. Not only did he lose 90 billion US dollars to Xiao Yunhai, but he also successfully got 25% of the shares. Even David Steyr's good friend, Mark Benton, was sent to prison. He lost so badly.
At the same time, he also heard that Xiao Yunhai won more than one billion US dollars from gambling. This was not an asset, but a liquid fund. He also set up an international bank with 18 super-rich people.
Everything made Williams Ash feel that the young man in front of him was too scary, so scary that it was a little scary.
This was also why his tone was so different from before.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I spent 180 billion US dollars to buy his 9.8% shares. Speaking of which, I lost a lot. Mr. Ash, when will the board meeting be held? "
Williams Ash said, "Two o 'clock this afternoon. However, I want to remind you that even though we have a lot more shares than before, David Stel still has absolute control over the shares. His two or three shareholders who fought with him to conquer the world all support him 100%, which puts us in a very passive position. "
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and smiled. "I didn't think that I could beat Mr. David Steyr into the dust. That's too unrealistic. The reason why I took the initiative to hold this board meeting is to show David Steyr who's boss and at the same time get to know other colleagues in Steyr Networks. As for taking over Steyr Networks, there's still a long way to go. I'm not in a hurry. "
Williams Ash saw that Xiao Yunhai was neither arrogant nor rash and was as calm as a mountain. He couldn't help but nod in his heart and say, "Mr. Xiao, I believe that Steyr Networks will be yours soon."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Then I'll have to rely on Mr. Ash's help."
The car drove for about an hour and then stopped in front of a French restaurant.
Xiao Yunhai got out of the car and took a deep breath. "Every time I come to Wall Street, I can smell the thick scent of money. To be honest, I really don't like this place because it always makes me feel that it lacks a sense of humanity. "
Williams Ash smiled. "Actually, it's the same everywhere. It's just that Wall Street is more realistic. In this world, whether it's ordinary people or big capitalists, they're all chasing after wealth. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and agreed with Ash's words.
After eating lunch, it was almost time for lunch.
Xiao Yunhai and Ash arrived at the headquarters of Steyr Networks. Seeing the tall but slightly old building, Xiao Yunhai smiled and asked, "Is this the tallest building on Wall Street?"
Williams Ash said, "That's right. Back then, David Steyr was arrogant and swore to be the most successful businessman on Wall Street. So he built this skyscraper and his office is on the highest floor. "
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "What can building a building help with the business? It's better to give more money to the employees. At least it can increase their enthusiasm for work."
Williams Ash laughed. "Mr. Xiao is right."
