Chapter 633 The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games(1/2)
In December, the movie of World of Warcraft was finally removed from the shelves. In the 4-month period, except for a few ancient ruins, it is unlikely that there will be a movie that will be released for so long in the future.
In the past four months, World of Warcraft has sold a box office of US$3.2 billion worldwide, becoming the most exaggerated movie in the history of movies.
All kinds of film critics, directors and actors have expressed their opinions that there will be no movies that will break this record in the future, unless it is a movie from World of Warcraft 2.
In 1999, the box office of $3.2 billion exceeded Avatar's $500 million record, and even Liu Zhiyuan was scared.
Although it is the golden age of movies, people's consumption power is not as good as that of Avatar, and many countries do not even have a few decent 3D cinemas.
"The cost of $1.3 billion has created a monster in the history of movies."
"Friends, Warcraft 2 will definitely be there. Don't forget that this is a movie adapted from the Han Dynasty super game!"
"Internal news, internal news, World of Warcraft online games are expected to be officially launched around 2000."
"Congratulations to the Han Dynasty, congratulations to the God of Games, another super IP has been born."
“…”
During the four-month release period, Warcraft players are rising at an astonishing speed, and novel sales have also ushered in a new peak.
When Liu Zhiyuan saw this situation, he directly announced the World of Warcraft online game at the 1999 Han Dynasty Extreme Masters Competition. Another game that has not yet appeared has become a global hot news.
At the same time, the new version of Warcraft, the Burning Expedition will be officially updated after the WCG game. Benefiting from Warcraft movies, Warcraft's popularity has also increased.
Of course, the first is my world, but the second is the third is the monster.
On December 15, the Han Dynasty Extreme Masters is in full swing. The most important game this year is undoubtedly CSS, because it can participate in next year's Olympic exhibitions.
The e-sports league now has the flavor of future generations, but it is not right, it should be said to be more than later generations.
Although all countries are actively preparing their own national leagues and although this is very beneficial to promoting the Han Dynasty games, Liu Zhiyuan still sets standards.
For this purpose, he would rather sacrifice some clubs and leagues. He cannot ensure true fairness, but he wants to ensure that these leagues are as fair as possible.
The strictest regulations are that if any fake matches are found, they are prohibited from playing games from the Han Dynasty for life.
Of course, you can play secretly and no one cares about it, but if you want to participate in the competition, even if it is an amateur competition, don’t think about it.
Similarly, this player's club will not only face huge fines, but will also have to be dissolved. Relevant personnel will not participate in any activities of the Han Dynasty for life.
"Lu Yuan, 18.372743 votes."
“tool, 15.728402 votes.”
“…”
On one side of the big screen, there is a list of votes, which is the list that will be held in the Olympic Games.
The top 12 players will disrupt and regroup two teams to go to the highest-standard battlefield in that peaceful era to play an exhibition match.
Currently, the only Chinese players in the top 12 are Lu Yuan and Qi Wang. The former is recognized as the strongest CCS player in the world, and the latter is the world's top assaulter.
The final was nothing unexpected, and the Chinese Dragon Team led by Lu Yuan and the Zues Team formed by Tool. However, the meeting between the two teams in the final this year was not as easy as in previous years.
Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark, the Nordic e-sports powerhouses that have won more than half of the global CS championships in history have begun to make efforts.
Behind them are the second-tier players in Germany, Ukraine and the United States.
Lu Yuan’s final journey this year is likely to fail again, because Tool is no longer the god of snipers. No matter how he ranks, he is in the top three.
Liu Zhiyuan heard that if the Chinese Dragon Team cannot win the championship this year, they will make changes. It is really because other teams put too much pressure on them.
These teams not only refer to foreign countries, but also domestic teams. As the country with the best e-sports environment in the world, China not only produces locally, but also players from other countries have been attracted many times.
When these people formed teams, the Chinese Dragon Team was under great pressure. This year, they were almost knocked down by a domestic team composed of players from various countries.
The Chinese team members of WCG have actually changed. Apart from Lu Yuan, Qi Wang and Xiao Run, the other two are already players from other clubs.
But this is a good thing. A league, especially a top-level league in the world, cannot be monopolized. For this reason, he also studied hard with Stern, the NBA's "balance beam" master.
The zues team should be the last time that all members of the team have gathered together this year. Those newly built clubs are very willing to spend money to poach star players.
On December 25, on Christmas, the 4th generation of Zhulong was officially launched, with a price of US$1,699. Compared with previous years, its price reduction was very low, only US$100.
But this is already the limit. In the future, the price of the Zhulong series of computers will basically remain around US$1,600.
At the same time, the mid-grade computer of Qinglong 1st generation is also on sale. Its performance is equivalent to that of Zhulong 3rd generation, but the price is only $1,099.
The Qinglong 1st generation computer can meet most users, and its mission is to seize this "middle-range market" that everyone has not cared about.
Next year, Jiaolong, a "low-end computer", will also be released, which is one of the few computers that can be profitable in the Han Dynasty.
Also profitable is the laptop named Yinglong, which will be released next year, and the appearance is referenced by Apple laptops.
There are also many super games of the Han Dynasty, new version of Warcraft, Pocket Elf, Need for Speed...
Using games to tie users to buy computers is the exclusive patent of the Han Dynasty, and you can't copy that kind even if you want to.
On December 31, when the computer sales statistics were released, Liu Zhiyuan was completely relieved and called back Li Huagui and the senior officials of the Han Dynasty for a few days.
No one knew the content of this meeting except those present, but after the meeting, many people discovered that Liu Zhiyuan was no longer concerned about business matters.
The struggle between Li Huagui and Mi Arakawa escalated after the meeting. Even if both sides restrained themselves and did not touch the bottom line left by Liu Zhiyuan, the Han Dynasty was not immune to a turmoil.
On March 1, 2000, the voting list of CSS stopped. After all, the Olympics will begin in August, and the 12 top players will need time to get started.
Liu Zhiyuan didn't want to see a game full of mistakes. Not only could he not make mistakes, he also gave an order to these 12 players selected by players around the world.
No wretched turtle retreat tactics are allowed to be played!
Those contestants also understood the significance of this Olympic exhibition to e-sports very well. The 12 top players and a lot of sparring training that came to help free of charge began a five-month running-in.
On May 1, a news instantly hit a hot spot and disappeared overnight. Liu Zhiyuan took action against the bank!
The new version of Alipay is the complete Alipay in later generations, with savings, interest and borrowing!
The turmoil caused this time is actually very big, very big. All the banks are furious. How can they cooperate? This is digging their roots!
That night was the only night that Liu Zhiyuan had not devoted his attention to the game recently.
Verbal battles, coercion and temptation...
That night, the Han Dynasty offended many oligarchs and also deepened its cooperative relationship with many oligarchs.
On May 2, although the news was suppressed, the impact was everywhere. The most direct impact was that many players found that when they recharged or traded, they found that there were many bank options missing.
The customer service of the Han Dynasty exploded that day. Liu Zhiyuan had long thought of today. If he wanted to grab a bite from those oligarchs, he would definitely have to pay the price.
"Alipay is undergoing technical adjustments, and I hope you can understand the inconvenience caused by you."
This sentence has become the most recent answer from the Han Dynasty's customer service department that temporarily recruited ten thousand people.
At the same time, there was also turmoil in China. Everyone understands what Alipay means to the Han Dynasty and what it means to China once it succeeds.
This means that another real oligarch was born.
Whether the people below oppose or support them, the senior leaders do not express their opinions at all.
On June 1st, Minecraft is on sale.
In just one day, Minecraft sold more than 37.48 million copies in Minecraft. As a super game without internal consumption, it is naturally a buyout system.
In fact, it cannot be changed to internal consumption, but Liu Zhiyuan rejected it all. This game should be the purest game.
On June 2, the bank that had fallen out with the Han Dynasty before could no longer sit still.
In one month, many people have seen it clearly. They can no longer get out of the pit that Liu Zhiyuan dug for them many years ago.
Unless they are willing to abandon users who are already accustomed to paying with Alipay.
On June 10, Alipay added another bank.
On June 15, there was another one on Alipay.
This is Liu Zhiyuan's confidence in making a comeback with these oligarchs. They can't be a solid person. As long as one person betrays, others will definitely not be able to sit still.
The traffic brought to them by Alipay is quite high. More than 100 million gamers in the Guanghan Dynasty used Alipay.
If we include Taobao International, which has been recognized by the public, which bank dares to say no to hundreds of millions of users?
As for setting up another electronic payment system similar to Alipay, it’s not that no one has done it, but in one month, there are only a few users.
Why?
The Han Dynasty does not recognize it!
Whether it is buying games from the Han Dynasty online or consuming on other Han Dynasty electronic systems, sorry, Liu Zhiyuan does not allow these banks to participate.
In August, most banks in the world returned to Alipay again, and at this moment, Liu Zhiyuan could actually announce that another oligarch appeared in this world, whose name was Han Dynasty.
In September, the Sydney Olympics became more and more popular, and Li Hua, who finally returned to Australia by cooperating with Jack Ma to seize the position of the next president of the Han Dynasty.
From today on, he will take over Liu Zhiyuan’s previous job and completely take over that. This Olympic exhibition competition is his first battle as the president of the Han Dynasty!
In a battle that cannot be defeated, the e-sports league has become a business that the Han Dynasty must ensure, and it can increase countless new users every year.
It can make the name of the Han Dynasty full of positive energy, it can make the Han Dynasty have a reputation that everyone appreciates, and must not make mistakes.
Because the position of president of the Han Dynasty is 10 years!
Except for Liu Zhiyuan who is holding a veto that he may not use in this life, others must rely on their grades to ensure their competitiveness.
If this battle fails, it will be a mine-burning position for the next competition for the president.
To be continued...
