If he hadn't heard of Ma Wei as a person, he would have known about his legendary deeds. Otherwise, Mayor Balcos would never believe that anyone would be willing to contribute money to help the government build an Olympic city. Therefore, in terms of questioning attitude, it is only hesitation, not indifference or sneering......

"In terms of land transactions, I would like to build some luxury resorts, luxury resorts and even the global headquarters of the MaV Group in Sochi to drive the tourism industry in the city. As for the size of the luxury hotels, they are all at least 7 stars. Therefore, we need some support from your government's side. On the way to Sochi, Mavi had already made his plan.

Funded and donated to the Olympic cause, and at the same time, in the local area, purchased land, and vigorously developed tourism projects. In this way, the popularity of the Olympics will not be wasted.

"MaV Group World Headquarters, a seven-star hotel?" asked Mayor Balcos, looking at Mavi. Currently in the city, the Burj Al Arab in Dubai, is 7 stars of the highest standard. And as soon as Ma Wei opened his mouth casually, there were several seven-star hotels. It's really scared to death......

There is also the "MaV Group Global Headquarters", which I believe will be visited by many people after it is completed.

Look at the mayor of Sochi and look into his eyes. Ma Wei couldn't help but feel that he was really productive in this life. When you go out to talk about business, you will be received at the mayor level. Even the second-generation rich in China have to call him a "big man" in front of him.

……

In the following two weeks, Mavi spent $200 million in a row to buy six plots of land of about 250,000 square meters from the Sochi government. The total area is nearly 1.5 million square meters, which is almost 24 times the land area of his "Aster No. 1" in Shangyuan!

After paying the $200 million, Ma Wei was in no hurry to start construction. Rather, in Sochi, make some preparations for the arrival of the IOC. That is, the evaluation committee's field visits.

Because the current application process for Olympic cities has been carried out to the second stage, that is, the candidate stage. Sochi was declared a candidate city by the Olympic Committee yesterday. Candidates need to be submitted, detailing the Olympic project plan for evaluation and reference by IOC members.

It is expected that in a little more than a month, the IOC evaluation committee will come to Sochi for a field visit. This link is very, very important. Because every member of the evaluation committee has a crucial vote in his hand. Only 100 people can participate in voting. Therefore, in the first round of screening, the city that can get a quarter of the votes often represents the final winner.

It is worth mentioning that during the past two weeks, the World of Warcraft of Mavi Blizzard has also landed on the Battle.net platform. And on the day the server was launched, the number of concurrent players around the world exceeded 2 million.

Fortunately, Ma Wei added a lot of servers in advance, otherwise such a large amount of traffic would be absolutely paralyzed. 2,000,000 players with a 5-hour trial time. At the end of the 5-hour trial, nearly 1.3 million players purchased the card and chose to continue to support it. It's all because the quality of the game is very good. The skill upgrade system, the quest system, and the excellent plot make it very enjoyable.

"Chairman Ma Wei, World of Warcraft has been online for two weeks, and the cumulative number of registered users has reached 12 million! The sales of point cards have sold 16 million copies! It has directly brought 60 million US dollars in sales to our company. The president of Blizzard reported the good news to Ma Wei.

World of Warcraft is a game, and many of the elements in it, including the storyline, are all inspired by the notebook that Ma Wei gave to Blizzard. Such a creative idea also has talent, which makes Blizzard's senior management, as well as game developers, admire Chairman Ma Wei's five-body ......

"Well, it's good, the server must be well maintained, otherwise a large number of players will be lost. Ma Wei instructed on the phone. He often plays games, and he knows that in games where the server is too poor, the cliff will be sprayed like a dog by players. Over time, players can't play.

"Understood, Chairman Ma Wei, don't worry about the server, I have sent additional staff, and there are special personnel to maintain it 24 hours a day!" said to the president of Blizzard, still respectfully to Ma Wei. It was Ma Wei who rescued Blizzard from Vivendi's hands. And it provides several games that are super popular to have such glory as Blizzard today.

No matter from which point of view, there is no reason why the president of Blizzard should not have admiration for Ma Wei.

"Then let's do it first, and then contact you if you have something. Ma Wei hung up the phone. The sales of 60 million US dollars can already be laughed at lightly for him now. At present, he is most concerned about the IOC's field trip in a month's time. This will be crucial and will directly determine the success or failure of the 2012 Summer Olympics.

……

Two months later, a Boeing 747 passenger plane landed smoothly at the Sochi field. Most of the passengers on the plane were dressed in black suits with the IOC badge on their chests. People can recognize their identities at a glance.

At this time, a white foreigner sitting in the business class chatted with his companion while looking at the scenery outside the window and said, "Sama, what do you think compared to London, England, where we went three weeks ago, Paris, France, last week, and Sochi this time?"

The white foreigner who spoke was one of the members of the International Olympic Committee. As early as the first three weeks, they organized field trips to candidate cities. It's just that, in order, Sochi, Russia, was arranged at the end. Part of the reason for this is that the city of Sochi is not very well-known. It can't compete with the three major cities of London, Paris, and New York.

"In addition to the weather in London, England, other supporting facilities, hotel transportation, are quite good. It is one of the popular cities this time. Paris, France, is also very good, and New York in the United States has its own characteristics. As for Sochi in Russia ... Let's take a look first!" replied the companion objectively.

They don't know much about Russia. Especially in the city of Sochi, many people are visiting for the first time. In their minds, when they talk about Russia, they are talking about the military industry, Moscow, the former Soviet Union, economic disintegration and other related words.

As for the level of the Russian economy, the crowd does not comment much. Because compared to Britain, France, and the United States, Russia's economy is notoriously bad.
