Chapter 285: "World of Warcraft" sells well, the International Olympic Committee visits
If he hadn't heard of Mavie's character and knew his legendary deeds, otherwise, Mayor Barcos would never believe that anyone would be willing to invest and help the government build an Olympic city. So in terms of questioning, he was just hesitant, rather than not sneering or sneering...
"As for land transactions, I want to build some luxury resorts, luxury resort hotels, and even the global headquarters of the Mav Group in Sochi to drive the city's tourism industry. As for the scale of luxury hotels, they are at least 7 stars. So some support from your government is needed." On the way to Sochi, Mavie had already made his plan.
We will invest and donate to the Olympics, and at the same time we will purchase land in the local area and vigorously develop tourism projects. This will not waste the popularity brought by the Olympics.
"Mav Group's global headquarters, a seven-star hotel?" Mayor Barcos asked, looking at Mavie. At present, the sailing hotel in Dubai is the highest standard 7-star. As soon as Mavie opened his mouth, there were several seven-star hotels. It was really scaring the people to death...
There is also this "mav Group Global Headquarters". I believe that after the completion, many people will come to visit.
Looking at the mayor of Sochi and looking at him, Ma Wei couldn't help but feel that he was really promising in this life. When he went out to negotiate a business, he was always a mayor-level reception. Even the first-line rich second-generation in China would call him "big boss" in front of him.
...
In the next two weeks, Mawei spent 200 million US dollars in a row to purchase 6 lands of about 250,000 square meters from the Sochi government. The total area is nearly 1.5 million square meters! It is almost 24 times the land area of his "Aster 1" in the upper wall!
After paying the 200 million US dollars, Mawei was not in a hurry to start construction. Instead, he made some preparations in Sochi to welcome the arrival of the International Olympic Committee, which is the on-site inspection of the Evaluation Committee.
Because the current application process for Olympic cities has reached the second stage, that is, the candidate stage. Sochi was announced by the Olympic Committee to become an Olympic candidate city yesterday. Candidate plans need to be submitted, and the Olympic project planning is detailed for the International Olympic Committee members to evaluate and reference.
It is expected that in more than a month, the International Olympic Committee Evaluation Committee members will come to Sochi for field visits. This link is very, very important. Because each Evaluation Committee holds a crucial vote in his hand. Only a hundred people can participate in the voting. Therefore, in the first round of screening, cities that can get a quarter of the votes often represent the final victory.
It is worth mentioning that during these two weeks, Mawei Blizzard's World of Warcraft was also popular on the Warnet platform. On the day the server was opened, the number of people online at the same time exceeded 2 million players.
Fortunately, Mawei added many servers in advance, otherwise such a large amount of traffic would be absolutely paralyzed. The trial time for 2 million players was 5 hours. After the 5-hour trial, nearly 1.3 million players purchased point cards and chose to continue to support it. This is all because the quality of the game is very good. The skill upgrade system, task system, and excellent plot make people very devoted to playing.
"Chairman Mawei, World of Warcraft" has been launched for two weeks, and the cumulative number of registered users has reached 12 million! The sales volume of point cards has sold 16 million copies! It has directly brought our company US$60 million in sales." The president of Blizzard Company reported the good news to Mawei.
The many elements in the game World of Warcraft, including the story plot, are all inspired by the notebook Ma Wei gave to Blizzard. Such creativity and talent have made Blizzard's senior management and game developers admire Chairman Ma Wei...
"Well, it's done well. The server must be maintained well, otherwise a large number of players will be lost." Ma Wei instructed on the phone. He often plays games and knows that if the server is too bad, the cliff will be sprayed as a dog by players. Over time, players will not be able to play.
"I understand! Chairman Mawei, don't worry about the server. I have sent additional staff and have dedicated personnel to maintain it 24 hours a day!" The president of Blizzard Company still said respectfully to Mawei. It was Mawei who rescued Blizzard Company from Vivendi and provided several super-fire games, which made it so brilliant today that Blizzard is as glorious as Blizzard today.
No matter from any perspective, the president of Blizzard Company has no reason not to admire Ma Wei.
"Then let's do it first, and contact me if you have something to do." After Ma Wei said that, he hung up the phone. The sales of $60 million can be easily laughed at him now. What he cares most about at the moment is the field inspection of the International Olympic Committee a month later. This is very critical and directly determines the success or failure of the 2012 Summer Olympics.
...
Two months later, a Boeing 747 passenger plane landed smoothly at Sochi Airport. Most of the passengers on the plane were wearing black formal attire and wearing International Olympic Committee badges on their chests. People could recognize their identities at a glance.
At this time, a white foreigner sitting in the business class looked out the window and chatted with his companion, "Sama, how do you think we came to London, England in the past three weeks, Paris in France last week, and Sochi this time?"
The white foreigner who spoke was one of the members of the International Olympic Committee. They organized a field trip to the candidate cities as early as the first three weeks. However, according to the order, Sochi, Russia was arranged at the end. Part of the reason is that Sochi, the city is not well-known and cannot be compared with the three major cities of London, Paris and New York.
"In addition to weather factors, London, England, has other supporting facilities and hotel transportation, which are quite good. It is one of the popular cities this time. Paris, France, is also very good, and has its own characteristics as well as New York, the United States. As for Sochi, Russia... let's take a look first!" The companion replied objectively.
They don’t have a deep understanding of Russia. This is the first time many people come to Sochi. In their impression, when it comes to Russia, it is military industry, Moscow, the former Soviet Union, economic disintegration and other related words.
