"Is it $500 million? Mr. Pitt? Our boss thinks there is no problem with this price..." said the investment team representative without any psychological pressure.

When he heard this, the Manchester United boss Pete, who was standing in front of him, was stunned! He thought where was the rich man from here, with a premium of 500 million US dollars, but he even smashed him without blinking...

...

A month later, Mawei successfully bought the Premier League Manchester United and the Los Angeles Lakers by spending money and "other special means". He spent a total of $960 million.

The total valuation of these two teams in the future can reach more than 6 billion US dollars. It is 5 times the value in terms of return on investment. Although it is a little low, it is better than entertainment.

Not only can Mawei "spend money to show off" in front of these famous stars, but also the new season's competition and championship are also a great highlight. It adds a lot of fun to Mawei's entertainment life...

That’s right, this is the daily operation of the world’s top tycoons. When you’re bored, buy a team to have fun. If you’re bored, just find some fun in your life.

For example, "Counter-Strike" has been online for more than a year. Its current popularity has long reached the point where it is popular all over the world.

However, because of the saturation of global gamers and the slight cooling of enthusiasm for gaming, the number of online users of "Counter-Strike" has dropped slightly compared to the previous quarter.

Why do you want to say "you"? It is because all the game routines are explored clearly by players. Its playability has also decreased. Therefore, for two consecutive quarters, the number of global online users and sales performance of the game has been declining continuously. This shows that the game's greatest potential and most essential part has been taken.

Next, it depends on how long it can last before it will be eliminated by the industry...

"Warcraft iii" developed by Blizzard, and "World of Warcraft" have entered the third stage of production. It is expected that there will be three months left, and "Warcraft iii" can be completed first.

As for World of Warcraft, it will take about 5 to 6 months.

Considering that the popularity of "Counter-Strike" has cooled down, Mavie immediately contacted Blizzard CEO Mike Mokahan and asked him about the recent situation, "Hey, Mike, the recent quarterly sales of Counter-Strike have been falling. Do you have any good solutions to this problem?"

After listening to the question from Chairman Ma Wei, Mike Mokahan, president of Blizzard Company, said to him in a difficult manner, "Well... Chairman Ma Wei, this... I have discussed this issue with the game R&D department and the game operation department. At present, we can only use to update the game map, guns and ammunition, or promotions to retain existing players..."

No company has a good idea for the loss of gamers or the reduction of consumption. After all, a game can easily make people tired after playing for a long time. Game developers do not dare to make drastic moves and make changes to the game version. They are afraid that one can backfire and make the original players lose more seriously.

After hearing this, Ma Wei thought about it carefully, and then suddenly came to his mind with inspiration and said to Mike Mokahan, "It's better to do this, Mike, maybe we can launch a follow-up version of "Counter-Strike" to rekindle the passion."

"Subsequent version? What kind of subsequent version? Chairman Mawei, please tell me!" Blizzard President Mike said to Mawei with some curiosity.

As the president of a game company, Mike sometimes really wants to know where there are so many game ideas in the chairman’s mind! It’s just like a person who can match the entire game research and development department... Oh, no! There are many.

"Uh... the name of the subsequent version is simply called "Counter-Strike: PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds"!" Because of this inspiration, Ma Wei just thought of it. So many details need to be discussed again.

For example, the various parameters and picture quality of the game "Counter-Strike: PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" must be adjusted according to the computer configuration of the majority of players in 2001. Otherwise, such high requirements will definitely not be popular. Because there are not many computers, they can run.

"Counter-Strike: PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds? Chairman Mawei, judging from the name you mentioned, is it a survival shooting game?" Blizzard President Mike Mokahan, when he heard the name Mawei said, he felt very good.

"It's not a complete survival category. To be precise, it's a game of battle, survival, and shooting. It's very different from "Counter-Strike". Players need to collect various resources on the game map and fight against other players in a narrowing safe area, so that they can survive until the end..."

Based on his previous life memory, Ma Wei gave the essence of the chicken-eating game to Mike, a Blizzard president, to the phone. The other party's eyes lit up! He was immediately attracted by the game elements mentioned by Ma Wei!

"Chairman Mawei! Based on the popularity of "Counter-Strike", I think the "Counter-Strike: Player-Unknown's Battlegrounds" you just mentioned should also capture the eyes and senses of such players!" Blizzard CEO Mike didn't dare to say it very much. His personality is more cautious.

So his praise just now is already very optimistic about Chairman Ma Wei's new game creativity.

"Well, you can't think too ideal. In this way, you can send someone to contact Vivendi and see their Ubisoft game. How much is it to be sold?" Ma Wei said lightly on the phone.

Since the Blizzard team currently has to develop two games, "Warcraft iii" and "World of Warcraft". There must be some shortcomings in personnel allocation.

So Mawei decided to deal with his "old rival" Vivendi. Look at the "Ubisoft Game Company" they are in, how much is it to sell.

Speaking of "Ubisoft Games", it is also a company that was squeezed and eaten by Vivendi. It's just that it's not as lucky as Blizzard, and was rescued by Mavie. It's still being destroyed by his old boss and lives a miserable life...

In his previous life, his classic game works include "Lehman", "Assassin's Creed" series, "Prince of Persia", "Cell Division", etc. It belongs to the top ten companies on steam, with certain value potential.

"Ubisoft Games? Oh! OK, Chairman Mavie, I understand!" As soon as Mike heard this name, he recalled all his past experiences. But now their Blizzard Company is different from before.

Using the Nasdaq stock market directly, the funds raised were shown off their old boss's face...
