Chapter 102: Russian Naval Headquarters
"Counter-Strike" is popular in North America, which naturally made game dealers in other countries discover business opportunities. So they all rushed to send people to negotiate agency rights and give Blizzard agency fees and dividends.
Of course, whether it is successful or not, or how much the conditions are, Ma Wei must nod and agree. "What countries are there in Asia?" he asked on the phone indifferently.
"In Asia, there are mainly three countries: China, South Korea, and Japan, and Chairman Mavie." Mike Mokahan answered truthfully.
"What game companies are there in China to contact the agent?" Ma Wei is still very concerned about his compatriots across the ocean.
"Is China? Well, let's take a look! There are Tencent, NetEase Games, Shanda Games, Jiucheng Games, these four game companies." Although Mike Mokahan didn't know why Mavi was particularly concerned about the Chinese market. But now he follows Mavie's lead...
"Tencent? He reached into the gaming industry so quickly?" Ma Wei couldn't help but think in his heart.
He still vaguely remembered the rejection of Perijing. The Tencent Games Division in his previous life was established in 2003. Unexpectedly, in this life, with the 32 million US dollars of South African newspapers, Tencent entered the game industry three years ago.
"South Korea and Japan can directly review agents and negotiate terms with them. As for the Chinese market, we must develop ourselves." Ma Wei said on the phone simply and clearly.
The domestic game market is quite profitable. Instead of finding an agent, letting them mess around and enjoying the share of their money, Blizzard Company is better off in person and directly earning 100% of its income.
Anyway, as long as the game is done well, you will not be afraid of not making money in China. Ma Wei is very clear about this.
"Okay, Chairman, I understand. I'll arrange someone to do it now!" Mike Mokahan said respectfully.
"Well, then let's do it for now." Ma Wei said and hung up the phone. With the income from the 5 million public beta, he finally came back to life! And with the spread of "Counter-Strike" around the world, the income will definitely be three times, even five times, or ten times that of now!
Three weeks later, all 5 million public beta accounts were bought by players. In addition, Mavi’s Blizzard Company also signed agents with game dealers in several countries. This caused Mavie’s bank account to directly add 150 million US dollars! The deposit also instantly changed back to 275 million!
We can continue to roam again.
"Ivan, the scientists from the Central Navigation and Equipment Design Bureau, how much research and development funds are needed? Did the Navy say that?" Mawei called the housekeeper to the room and asked him about the new frigate project.
"Young master, the Navy has not mentioned it yet, but as far as I understand, it should not be a small amount. Judging from the Navy's budget this year, it should be difficult for them to afford this fee." The butler replied truthfully.
Five days later, the butler Ivan returned to Mavi's room and said to him, "Young Master, I just received the news from the Navy that they will ask you to meet at the Navy headquarters this Friday. The scientists from the Central Navigation and Equipment Design Bureau will also be there."
The Russian Navy headquarters, the Russian Federation naval fleet, is an important part of the Russian Federation armed forces.
It is much higher than the Northern Fleet that Mavi went to last time, with specifications and levels. To be precise, it is a symbol of the Russian Navy and the highest honor.
"Okay, I understand." Mawei raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that he would be so awesome and so casual in this life. One day, he would be invited to sit at the Russian Navy headquarters.
I just don’t know what military rank will be the one who is responsible for receiving him this time? Is it a major general? Or a lieutenant general?
The Russian Navy headquarters is located in St. Petersburg, commander-in-chief, General Vladimir Salavi, Chief of Staff, General Felix Nikolaye.
Commanding the Russian Northern Fleet, the Pacific Fleet, the Black Sea Fleet, the Baltic Fleet, the four major fleets, as well as the Caspian Fleet, and the Kaliningrad military cluster to which the Baltic Fleet belongs.
Due to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the continued economic downturn in Russia before the mid-1990s, the combat effectiveness of the Russian Navy was severely weakened. There were basically no new ships in service, and limited funds were only used for shipbuilding plans that were already underway during the former Soviet Union.
Despite this, a large number of shipbuilding projects have been discontinued due to funding reasons. The maintenance of existing equipment is also a big problem. Many naval equipment has a low improvement rate due to the lack of effective management and maintenance, and accidents occur frequently.
So, when Mavie said he was willing to fund the Russian Navy and develop a new generation of frigates, the Navy Headquarters immediately approved his proposal. Almost from the drafting of the charter to the departmental review, it was released without any obstacles.
And the superiors also specifically reminded the Northern Fleet that proposed this project to ensure that they must start the research and development smoothly, but they must not be too frustrated. After all, there are many big shots watching this project. For example, General Salave, Commander-in-Chief, and General Irnov, Minister of Defense.
Five days later, in St. Petersburg, in front of the Russian Navy General Department, Mawei took a military jeep and slowly drove into this heavily guarded military zone.
Compared to the last time I went to the Northern Fleet, the scale of the Navy headquarters is more magnificent. There are more inspection posts on the road.
The Russian naval flags everywhere and the naval soldiers in uniform make Mavie feel like he is in a military movie.
Almost half an hour later, the jeep slowly stopped in front of a building. At this time, a naval colonel wearing a naval officer's uniform and three-star embroidered on his shoulder appeared in front of Mawei in a military posture.
"Mr. Mavie, long time no see." This naval colonel was Colonel Yevnigan who had received Mavie in the Northern Fleet.
But today, as the "pawn pawn" of his superiors, he was waiting for Ma Wei's arrival in front of the building. This shows that the superiors attached great importance to this project, which was very unusual. Invisibly, it also put some pressure on the investor Ma Wei...
"Hello, Colonel Yevnigan." Mawei walked out of the jeep with a smile. Since the last time he sent two Grissa-class frigates of the Northern Fleet, his relationship with the Northern Fleet has gradually become familiar with him.
"Well, let's go up, Lieutenant General Nikov will be here later." Colonel Yevnigan said to Mawei with a serious smile. Lieutenant General Nikov was the senior general responsible for the development of this new frigate. He was two levels older than Yevnigan.
