In the morning, Li Ze first went to Legend of Mir 2.
He learned about the situation of the competition uniform for the number one martial arts competition in the world.
He learned from Shen Qianru that before the midnight deadline last night, a total of 36,500 players had reached level 40.
After that, Li Ze reminded Shen Qianru about the preparations for the Night of Legends and went upstairs to Zerun Technology.
However, as soon as he walked into the office, he suddenly received a call from Penguin Corporation's Ma.
"Hello, CEO Ma, why did you call me? Or was it that Penguin's money was almost gone again?”Li Ze asked with a smile.
He had been busy with Zerun Technology and the Fengchi electric car, so he didn't pay much attention to Penguin.
Although Li Ze now held 46% of Penguin Corporation's shares, he did not intend to interfere with the daily management of Penguin Corporation.
After all, Li Ze had learned from his son's message that Penguin Corporation's future market value was in the trillions, but Ma had always been at the helm.
Therefore, he had nothing to worry about.
Upon hearing Li Ze's words, Brony smiled and said,""I called you this time because I have something to tell you. However, it was not that Penguin Corporation had run out of money.”
"Although the money that President Li raised last time has almost been burned out, Penguin has basically achieved a break-even.”
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Li Ze was surprised and asked,""Boss Ma, Penguin has actually broken even? Could it be that you've already found a way to make money?”
No wonder Li Ze was surprised.
After all, according to what he knew, the number of people registering for QQ chat had been increasing at a crazy rate. The demand for servers and broadbands was also increasing, and the amount of money invested in this area every month was not small.
If he only relied on the profits from the previous pop-up advertisements, it would probably be far from enough to support it.
Brony smiled and said," At the end of last year, the mobile company launched a 'Mobile DreamNet.' We, Penguin, cooperated with the mobile company.”
"With the launch of QQ's mobile service, as the number of users continues to increase, the demand for QQ's mobile service is also increasing explosively.”
"And this mobile service is charged. So far, Penguin has basically achieved break-even. It's even expected to make a profit this year…"
After listening to Brony's explanation, Li Ze understood.
However, he wasn't very familiar with DreamNet, so he asked about it.
From Brony's explanation, Li Ze found out that DreamNet's services were paid through mobile phones, and they were split 20 - 80.
In other words, the mobile operator would only charge 20% of the fees, and the remaining 80% would be given to the content supplier.
QQ had a huge number of users.
In just a few months, QQ's mobile chat business had already taken up half of the entire mobile DreamNet's paid business!
After understanding the situation, Li Ze couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
He didn't expect QQ to start making profits so quickly. He didn't need a lot of money to continue burning money. Although the profits were not much at the moment, it was a good start.
"By the way, CEO Ma, you said that you were looking for me for something. May I know what it is?”
After they finished talking about the mobile business, Li Ze returned to the main topic and asked.
" It's like this," Brony quickly said." Some time ago, South Africa's Midela International Holding Group, also known as MIH Group, contacted me. They said they wanted to finance Penguin.”
"In addition, they also found out that President Li now holds 46% of Penguin Corporation's shares, so they hope to contact you through me and want to buy your Penguin Corporation shares.”
At this point, Brony paused for a moment and continued,""Because you've said many times that you're very optimistic about our Penguin Corporation, I don't think you're interested in selling your shares.”
"I didn't pay much attention to his request.”
"Penguin Corporation is slowly making profits now. In addition, the shares in the hands of our founders are only about 50%. Naturally, we don't plan to dilute our shares and raise funds.”
" However, the other party has repeatedly visited our Penguin Corporation. So, I had no choice but to ask President Li if you have any intention of transferring your shares..."
After listening to Brony's words, Li Ze suddenly remembered what he had heard from his son. According to the original track, it seemed that South Africa's MIH Group had acquired IDG and Pacific Century Digital's Penguin shares.
He did not expect that after the shares of these two companies were in his hands, the other party would look for him again.
However, Li Ze naturally had no intention of selling Penguin Corporation's shares.
Therefore, he said to Brony,""President Ma, please help me reject the MIH Group in South Africa. I don't intend to transfer any shares of Penguin Corporation.”
"As I've said many times before, I'm very optimistic about Penguin Corporation, so I plan to hold these shares for a long time.”
Brony had obviously expected Li Ze's answer and replied,""Alright, then I'll reject the other party on your behalf.”
"Good! Then I'll have to trouble President Ma."
"Hehe, you're too polite, Director Li. Sorry for disturbing you…"
Brony smiled.
Then, the two of them briefly talked about the recent development of Penguin Corporation.
From Brony, Li Ze learned that QQ's registered users were close to 100 million!
Although there would definitely be a large number of cases where one person had more than one account, the number of 100 million was still shocking enough!
Currently, there were only about 30 million netizens in Xia country.
It was estimated that at least 60% to 70% of the netizens in China were using QQ. It was no wonder that QQ's mobile business was growing so rapidly...
After ending the call with Brony, Li Ze sighed." I didn't expect QQ to develop so quickly. It seems that it's gradually getting on the right track..."
In the blink of an eye, another few days passed.
League of Legends Internet Cafe, Shanghai's Pu Dong branch.
Wei Dongcheng, Zhao Kun, and Liu He sat in front of three rows of computers, playing games excitedly.
Today was already the last day of the World's Number One Martial Dao Convention.
This meant that there would be a huge battle in Sand City to determine the top 100 and top three rankings!
Two days ago, Wei Dongcheng and the others had already reached level 40 in the tournament server. They had been constantly farming monsters and dropping equipment to update their equipment.
Now that the final battle had finally arrived, the three of them were filled with anticipation.
"Old Wei, be careful on the left!"
"F * ck! This damned Mage actually sneaked an attack on me! F * ck him!"
Wei Dongcheng cursed and immediately controlled his character to charge at the Mage who had ambushed him.
Liu He and Zhao Kun also helped out and attacked.
As long as a character died in the Battle of Sand City, they would not be able to revive and would be eliminated.
Wei Dongcheng and the other two relied on their tacit cooperation to fight with all their might in this chaotic battle of more than thirty thousand people.
Although it was dangerous, it was also exceptionally exciting.
Such a large-scale PvP battle was not something that could be experienced in the normal server.
The three of them were having a great time killing and were exhilarating!
As more and more players died, the number of remaining players decreased rapidly.
Thirty thousand…twenty thousand…ten thousand…five thousand…
Unknowingly, there were less than two thousand players left.
However, at this moment, most of the surviving players were already filled with killing intent. In any case, they would slash at other players whenever they saw them…
After a few hours, this chaotic battle finally ended.
In the end, only one Warrior player remained standing!
At the same time.
In a small internet café in Chengdu, a young man with unkempt beard and messy hair, who looked like he hadn't washed his hair for a few days, laughed excitedly.
" Hahaha, I'm first!"
This youth was called Xiao Feng.
He was an internet addict.
"I didn't expect that I would really kill my way to the end! Legend's Night, here I come! The Dragon Slaying Saber is mine! Awesome!" Xiao Feng shouted excitedly.
This caused the surrounding people to look at him and discuss.
"What's going on? Legend's Night? Dragon Slaying Saber?"
"F * ck! Could it be that this guy had participated in the legendary number one martial arts competition and won first place? She had just heard him say that he was number one!”
"Let's go and take a look!"
There were many people playing Legend of Mir 2 in the internet cafe.
When many people heard Xiao Feng shouting out the Legend's Night and Dragon Slaying Saber in excitement, they immediately thought of the world's number one martial arts conference held by the Legend.
Hence, with a whoosh.
A group of Legendary players in the Internet Cafe immediately surrounded him.
"Hey, brother, you participated in the legendary number one martial arts competition and won first place?”
Someone asked from behind.
Xiao Feng finally calmed down a little. He took off his earphones and looked back.
When he saw that there were actually people surrounding him, he was instantly shocked.
However, he still nodded with a smile and said with a comfortable expression,"That's right! "I did participate in the legendary number one martial arts conference in the world, and I did live to the end and became the first in the martial arts conference!”
"F * ck! Really!"
When the person who asked heard this, he could not help but curse.
"Bro, you're awesome!"
The others also raised their thumbs and looked at Xiao Feng with envy.
"The champion of the World's Number One Martial Arts Conference not only gets to participate in the Legend's Night for free, but also gets priority to choose one of the three Divine Artifacts as a reward!”
"Brother, which divine artifact do you plan to choose?”
Hearing the others 'questions, Xiao Feng replied without hesitation,""Of course I have to choose Dragon Slaying! I'm a warrior, what else can I choose if not to slay a dragon?”
"I envy you so much. This is the first Dragon Slayer in the entire legend!”
Facing the envious exclamations of the others.
Xiao Feng was quite pleased with himself and enjoyed the feeling of being looked up to and amazed by others.
However, he pretended to be calm on the surface and said,"It's alright. No matter how awesome Dragon Slaying is, it's just a game equipment.”
"Besides, I can only get this equipment after I participate in the Night of Legends.”
Regarding Xiao Feng's Versailles, the others could only feel envy and jealousy.
……
At this moment, at the Legendary Gaming Company.
"President Shen, the World's Number One Martial Arts Conference has ended. The first to hundredth players have been decided.”Qi Jingkang reported to Shen Qianru.
Shen Qianru nodded and said," Alright, then contact the top 100 players and register their information. Then inform them to come to Shanghai on the 21st to participate in the Night of Legends!"”
"In addition, send a message to the top ten thousand players in the game's backstage, informing them that they can choose to participate in the Legend's Night event at their own expense.”
"Count the number of players participating. We have reserved 10,000 seats for the venue. When the time comes, the excess tickets can be sold to the public…"
"Okay, President Shen!"
Qi Jingkang quickly replied.
Shen Qianru also reported to Li Ze about the end of the World's Number One Martial Arts Conference.
He also asked Li Ze if he would personally award the top three players during the Night of the Legend.
Li Ze thought about it. The 21st was a Saturday, and he seemed to have nothing to do, so he agreed. He was prepared to personally award the rewards to the three Legendary players.
On the night of the 21st.
In a certain venue in Shanghai, nearly ten thousand Legendary players from all over the country had gathered.
Most of these 10,000 Legendary players were ranked in the top 10,000 of the World's Best Martial Arts Conference, which was also the last 10,000 players to be eliminated.
After Legend of Mir 2 sent a message to the players, saying that they could come to Shanghai to participate in the Legend of Mir 2 Night event at their own expense.
More than 6,000 people registered their personal information and rushed to Shanghai to participate in the legendary night.
As for the remaining 3,000 tickets, they were directly sold to the public.
The price wasn't high. It was between 99-399 depending on the seats. The Legend of Mir 2 didn't plan to earn that much from the tickets.
Naturally, these tickets were all bought by Legendary players.
Players who were not Legends were not interested in spending money to buy tickets to participate in the Night of Legends.
After the legendary night began, the invited celebrities went on stage to perform. Legend of Mir 2 had invited the most popular celebrities.
The performance of these celebrities also caused many Legendary players to cheer excitedly.
Shen Qianru had specially gotten someone to take some pictures of the scene and post them on the Legend of Mir 2's official website so that other players who did not participate in the Legend of Mir 2's Night could see some of the situation and information.
As many celebrities finished performing on stage, the main event finally arrived.
The top three players walked onto the stage in custom-made costumes. Their costumes were completely based on the image of the legendary warrior, mage, and priest.
Before they went on stage, the Legend of Mir 2 allowed them to choose one of the three Divine Artifacts according to the ranking order.
Xiao Feng, who was ranked first, naturally chose the Dragon Slaying Saber without hesitation.
Therefore, he was currently wearing the attire of a warrior.
The other two players were the Priest and the Mage…
When the three players stepped onto the stage, the Legendary players cheered when they saw their appearance.
The emcee who was specially invited stood on the stage and smiled at the players."Next, let's invite Mr. Li Ze, the CEO of Legendary Games, to personally present the prizes to the champion, runner-up, and third runner-up of the World's Best Martial Arts Conference!”
As the emcee finished speaking, Li Ze, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, walked onto the stage with a smile.
Beside him were a few courtesans, each of them holding a 'weapon' on a tray.
They were the Dragon Slaying Saber, Heavenly Sword, and Heavenly Staff!
This was an item that was completely customized according to the corresponding weapon in the game.
Li Zeyi handed out three weapons and props to the three players. Fortunately, the materials used for these props were not heavy. Otherwise, with the huge shape of the Dragon Slaying Saber, it would not be able to be carried with one hand.
Of course, these three items were just for the convenience of the award ceremony. The real reward would be directly distributed to the three people in the game character bag.
After Li Ze gave out the rewards to the three players, the atmosphere at the scene reached its peak!
The three players standing on the stage were also holding onto the items in their hands tightly in excitement. It was as if they were really holding onto the Dragon Slaying Saber, Heavenly Sword, and Heavenly Staff…
After Li Ze gave out the rewards to the top three players, the Night of Legends event came to an end.
Shen Qianru, the CEO of Legend of Mir 2, was also the last to go on stage. She announced that Legend of Mir 2 would be updating at 2 AM on the 22nd and officially release the " Battle of the Three Artifacts " version!
At that time, a new map would be opened, and the highest level in the game would be level 60!
Two days after the Night of Legends event ended, a piece of news suddenly broke out on the Internet.
The player who won first place in the World's Number One Martial Arts Conference had sold the Dragon Slaying Saber that he had been rewarded with!
Just as many players were stunned and even found it difficult to understand, someone soon revealed the transaction price of the Dragon Slaying Saber.
It was a rich player in Shanghai who had directly exchanged a 100-square-meter house in Shanghai with the other party!
And the value of that house…according to the surrounding housing prices, it was more than 450,000!
When this news was released, all the Legendary players were in an uproar!
This news was even reported by many media outlets…
This also shocked countless people in the country.
Many people couldn't imagine how they could exchange a piece of equipment in a game for a house!
Moreover, it was a 100-square-meter house in Shanghai!
While everyone was shocked, many Legendary players went crazy.
A Dragon Slayer could be exchanged for a 100-square-meter house in Shanghai that was worth more than 450,000 yuan…How could this not be crazy?
If he also dropped a Dragon Slayer, wouldn't he make a killing?
Legend of Mir 2's official website had revealed that the three bosses in the new map had a certain chance of dropping the three artifacts!
The exposure of this news also brought countless new players to the Legend of Mir 2.
Many people didn't play Legend of Mir 2 at first, but after hearing that a Dragon Slayer in Legend of Mir 2 could be exchanged for a 100-square-meter house in Shanghai, many people decided to try their luck and entered Legend of Mir 2.
It was because of this that the highest number of online players in the Legend of Mir 2 broke through the two million mark!
This also brought higher revenue to the Legend of Mir 2!
As the main character of this news, Xiao Feng was currently lying happily in the house in Shanghai that he had exchanged his Dragon Slaying Saber for.
In fact, the news that was released by the outside world was not very accurate.
This house was definitely worth more than 500,000 yuan.
Because this was a renovated house, he could move in directly.
After Xiao Feng exchanged the Dragon Slaying Sword for this house, he moved here directly.
To him, although that Dragon Slaying Sword was precious, how could it compare to this house in Shanghai?
Ever since he traded Dragon Slaying for this suite and brought his family over to stay for a few days, his family had been very dissatisfied with him for not doing his job properly every day and only playing games.
However, at this moment, she didn't say anything else.
What a joke, this was a house in Shanghai!
And it was over a hundred square meters!
It was worth more than 500,000 yuan!
If he wanted to earn 500,000 yuan by working, it would take him 30 to 40 years.
On the other hand, his kid was just playing games. He had used a game equipment to exchange for a house in Shanghai that others could not afford even after working hard for decades!
Why did he need a bicycle?
