Chapter 306 Two Madmen

The data sheet Wu Zhaopu handed to Lin Feng listed two plans in total.

The first plan is for "Second World" to be listed on NASDAQ in the United States to raise funds. Wu Zhaopu has estimated that with the current financial situation of "Second World", listing on NASDAQ in the United States can at least raise funds for the company.

Funds of 3 to 5 billion US dollars are enough to solve any problem. However, Wu Zhaopu is not inclined to do so. The "Second World" still has potential, and it is not the best time to go public now. After the launch of "Half-Life 2", the company will

The best time to go public is when the development of "World War" is announced in a high-profile manner. Or after the "Second World" headquarters building is completed, Wu Zhaopu estimates that the "Second World" company's market value will exceed US$30 billion.

Now that it is listed, it will be a loss for both the company and the individual.

The second plan is for "Second World" to make the Asian version of "Counter-Strike Online" chargeable as soon as possible, and launch the Asian version of "Audition: All-Star Lineup" as soon as possible. Rely on "Legend", "Audition: All-Star Lineup" Asian version

And the profits from the Asian version of "Counter-Strike Online" are enough to sustain the implementation of this plan. Wu Zhaopu has calculated that "Legend" can make about 100 million US dollars in profit a year. If "Audition: All-Star Lineup" launches an Asian version,

The profit is about 300-500 million U.S. dollars, and "Counter-Strike Online" can also have a profit of about 100 million U.S. dollars. Together with the company's capital reserves, it is enough to fulfill Tom Wright's demand of 1 billion U.S. dollars.

Just relying entirely on the financial support of the "Second World", the company will inevitably be financially tight. I am afraid that Lin Feng's e-sports department will be temporarily unable to operate, and the previously promised "Second World Players Annual Conference" will not be able to operate in scale.

It will also be greatly reduced.

After Lin Feng thought for a moment, he chose the second option. Most companies would probably choose the first option and let the company go public as soon as possible. But that is for those companies that lack operating funds or are even in poor condition.

You want to go public to make money. The "second world" doesn't have to be like this. Your company's financial situation is in good condition and you don't have to rush to go public. What's more, the more mature the company is and the more reasonable the structure is, the maximum profit can be obtained after going public, and it can better resist market risks.

.

Wu Zhaopu was overjoyed when he saw Lin Feng choose the second option. Although this was a little tight financially, it was generally good. What's more, although the second option made the company's finances tighter, with Lin Feng and the industrial and commercial

Thanks to the relationship with Bank President Jiang and the financial situation of "Second World", Wu Zhaopu believes that loans are not a problem. (Previously, "Second World" had repaid a RMB 300 million Industrial and Commercial Bank of China loan after Lin Feng invested US$500 million)

Tom Wright was extremely satisfied that Lin Feng could agree to his request. He was just a designer, and his financial situation was not within his scope of consideration. He was only worried about whether Lin Feng's company could provide sufficient funds.

"Mr. Lin, since you are determined, I will definitely be able to design a building for you that will shock the world. It will definitely become a symbolic building in Shanghai." Tom Wright said with confidence.

"Tom, since I want to build a skyscraper, then I will build the tallest skyscraper in the world!" Lin Feng said.

Wu Zhaopu was petrified on the spot. Didn't he build the headquarters building? How did it become the tallest skyscraper in the world?

"Haha, Director Lin, the one billion US dollars I mentioned is the budget for building the world's tallest skyscraper." Unexpectedly, Tom Wright was not surprised at all, but looked delighted. In his conception

, If the "Second World" headquarters wants to become a symbolic building in Shanghai, a prosperous metropolis, in addition to its unique appearance, it must also be high. Since it needs to be tall, why not become the tallest in the world!

After listening to Tom Wright's words, Wu Zhaopu had become a fossil. Looking at the two people, Wu Zhaopu could only sigh - two lunatics! But after thinking about it, he seemed to agree with the plan, and he even came up with two plans after a long time of evaluation.

plan, isn’t he considered half a lunatic?

Wu Zhaopu was so depressed that he no longer thought about it. Anyway, Lin Feng always did amazing things. He would just get used to it! Just get used to it!

Later, Lin Feng held a press conference, and Lin Feng, Wu Zhaopu, and Tom Wright attended.

Many reporters are still digesting the terrifying profits of the previous "Audition: All-Star Lineup". Reports on "Audition: All-Star Lineup" continue every day. Many current affairs news newspapers have barely become entertainment newspapers. Although many reporters are reporting on "Audition: All-Star Lineup".

However, when the editor-in-chief saw the sales, he did not hesitate to let many reporters continue to report on the news related to "Audition: All-Star Lineup".

Because Lin Feng refused to disclose the sales volume of each emperor superstar, and Lin Feng ordered all employees within the company not to disclose the actual sales of the 48 emperor superstars' simulation dolls to the outside world. After all, they are all emperor superstars. Originally, everyone had equal status, but now they are all equal.

Qi became the spokesperson for "Audition: All-Star Lineup". If they were ranked high and low in the game, these reporters would be happy, but it would not be a good thing for Lin Feng's company. The fans of the superstar are crazy. If they are ranked because of their popularity,

The mutual attacks on each other due to their high status will also have an absolutely negative impact on the "second world". What's more, it will also easily offend the 48 superstars.

Why bother?

Under Lin Feng's absolute blockade, many reporters could only "cross the sea" and use their own magical powers to evaluate the sales of the 48 emperor superstars' simulated character dolls in "Audition: All-Star Lineup", and wanted to give an exhaustive report.

Possibly real data.

Unexpectedly, when they were racking their brains to get as real data as possible, Lin Feng held a press conference again. Many reporters immediately rushed to the press conference to see if they could take the opportunity to get the "Audition: All-Star Lineup"

The actual sales data of the stars in it were revealed. Unexpectedly, Lin Feng’s first sentence left everyone speechless in shock.

"Dear journalist friends, in view of the development of the 'Second World', you must also know that our company is about to build its own headquarters building. This is Mr. Tom Wright, the designer who designed the 'Burj Al Arab'." Lin Feng smiled slightly.

, handed the microphone to Tom Wright.

"Everyone, this time I will be responsible for designing the 'Second World' headquarters building, and I feel very honored for it. This 'Second World' headquarters building will become the new tallest building in the world," said Tom Wright.

Many reporters in the audience exclaimed and stood up one after another.

The tallest skyscraper in the world is now occupied by the "Kuala Lumpur Petroleum Towers" in Kuala Lumpur, with a height of 451.9 meters and a total of 88 floors. Of course, the "Taipei 101" being built at the same time is rumored to be 508 meters high.

It has become the new tallest building in the world. Now the "second world" is also going to build the tallest building. This news is like an atomic bomb detonating in the hearts of many reporters.

What particularly puzzled many reporters was that the last press conference only announced the construction of the headquarters building, which shocked many reporters. As a result, in just three days, the construction of the world's tallest skyscraper was announced. This jump is really too big.

Damn, the logical thinking of reporters like them has already jumped to the limit, and they are a bit intolerable.

"Also, this time our company will raise US$1 billion to build the world's tallest skyscraper as the company's headquarters." Lin Feng continued.

This completely made many reporters unable to calm down anymore. The news was too violent, and it came one after another. A company that was established only 2 years ago threatened to invest 1 billion US dollars to build the tallest building in the world. Is this a sure thing or a failure?

Talking nonsense? But regardless of whether it is confident or talking nonsense, for all reporters, they have a news point to hype. And it is a news point that can attract global attention.

Many reporters asked questions about the building's construction, scale, structure, etc., but Tom Wright remained silent. He only assured that it would become the tallest skyscraper in the world and become a landmark building in Shanghai.

People can immediately recognize it as the "Second World" building headquarters.

Although many reporters did not get any precise data, there is no doubt that just the news that the "Second World" will invest US$1 billion to build the world's tallest skyscraper is enough to make their newspaper sales report again.

Lin Feng of the "Second World" is definitely the person that all reporters want to worship most. Since the rise of the "Second World" in China, they have never worried about newspaper sales.

However, some reporters who are familiar with Lin Feng and have certain financial knowledge are worried about Lin Feng's declaration. They are worried about whether the "Second World" is too ambitious and whether it will become the second giant group. That year

The Giant Group has a good development situation, but it was also because of the construction of the "Giant Building" that it finally drained the funds of the Giant Group. What's more, the "Giant Building" back then was only 50 floors, and Lin Feng's is even more exaggerated, it is the world's tallest skyscraper!

Just these eight words "the world's tallest skyscraper" are enough to make everyone dizzy.

Regarding the reporter's concern about the financial situation, Wu Zhaopu stated in a high-profile manner that the financial resources of the "Second World" can definitely support the construction of the world's tallest skyscraper, and will never let it become an unfinished building, let alone bring down the "Second World"

”.

The news was spread through the pens of many journalists that day. The "Second World" once again became the focus of global news. A company that was established only two years ago threatened to build the world's tallest skyscraper. Is it just sensationalism or is it really capable?

The news that the "Second World" is going to build the world's tallest building has not only caused a sensation in China, Asia, but also the entire world. A Chinese company, an online game company that has only been established for two years, threatened to

The world's tallest skyscraper is to be built. When most people hear the news, their first reaction is to slap their faces in disbelief and wonder if they are dreaming, or is today April Fool's Day?

This news was undoubtedly broadcast on CCTV's "News Network" that night. The host used a weird tone to broadcast the news to the people across the country that the "Second World" would build the world's tallest skyscraper.

Compared with the horror of this news, the host thought it was even more surprising that a private enterprise was featured on "News Network" one after another!

Major domestic newspapers have also expressed their respective opinions on this.

"Global Times", a current affairs news media sponsored by the People's Daily, mostly focuses on foreign current affairs news, but the headline of this issue is the news about "The Second World Builds the World's Tallest Skyscraper".

The newspaper gave a brief introduction to the "Second World", mainly gave a detailed introduction to the designer Tom Wright, and evaluated the types of buildings that Tom Wright might design.

"People's Daily", the official daily newspaper. Although the front page is not "Second World", it also introduces the construction of the first skyscraper in the "Second World" and lists the tallest skyscrapers in the world now and those under construction.

Building ranking.

Compared with the cautious attitude of official newspapers, other local newspapers are much bolder.

Shanghai's "Xinmin Evening News" published a report that night and made a lot of comments. In the comments, it even called on the "Second World" to build the headquarters building into the world's tallest skyscraper, surpassing the "Taipei 101" building under construction.

, making it a landmark building in Shanghai.

Other local newspapers also reported on this without exception, all praising the project and hoping that the title of the world's tallest skyscraper could be settled in mainland China.

Overseas media, the British "Times", also immediately reported it and lamented in the comments - a company that was only established for two years has continuously created new myths in the Internet industry. An online game can make a profit in one day.

Tens of millions of pounds are spent on building the world's tallest skyscraper. What kind of miracles will such a company create in the future?

The Sun, which has an old grudge against Lin Feng, slammed the Chinese company for building the world's tallest building. I'm afraid it's another piece of fake news. How could a company that was established only two years ago have US$1 billion to build the world's tallest building?

skyscraper. He also pointed out that this must be an advertising strategy made by Lin Feng to promote the company.

When the news reached Japan, it also caused an uproar.

Now in Japan, the "Second World" Japanese branch has firmly taken root. Although the Japanese game industry is extremely angry at the "Second World", especially Lin Feng's arrogant declaration when he first established the Japanese branch, it cannot be

What they deny is that the craze of "Counter-Strike Online" is indeed unstoppable to them. At least for now, when the rankings of Japanese players in "Counter-Strike Online" are firmly suppressed by China and South Korea, the arrogant Japanese are still

There is no shame in evacuating from inside.

Coupled with Erika Kazama's skill, the Japanese branch of "Second World" also avoided some unfair conspiracy methods. Although Erika Kazama used to serve as the public relations manager of "enix" and sacrificed her dignity, she still

It's not without gains. Her connections in the Japanese game industry are unimaginable by others, and the shady information she masters is far beyond Wada Yoichi's imagination. At first, Wada Yoichi asked Erika Kazama to accompany some senior officials, and when other company executives

, and asked Erika Kazama to take the opportunity to preserve some evidence, hoping it would be useful in the future.

Unexpectedly, the arrival of Lin Feng directly caused Erika Kazama to "betray" and invest in Lin Feng's company. Naturally, these evidences were brought by Erika Kazama to the core archives of the "Second World" Japan branch.

It became a tool used by Erika Kazama to help the "Second World" to blackmail these senior officials into giving the Japanese branch of the "Second World" a fair treatment. Regarding this, Wada Yoichi was extremely angry, even though he had sent people to steal it.

However, under the strict protection of the "Langya" security company, Wada Yoichi could only steal the chicken but not the rice.

As for those high-ranking officials who were blackmailed, they could only suffer a loss. Fortunately, Erika Kazama's request was only to hope that the "Second World" Japanese branch would receive fair treatment, so they did not have to become angry.

As for Lin Feng, an arrogant Chinese, a game company that was only established for two years actually threatened to build the world's tallest skyscraper, one can imagine how these arrogant Japanese game companies feel.
