Chapter 136: The Quantum Fund

For the rise of a new thing, he must have a process for development.

This process, that is, time. Tang Dynasty Network's battle platform has just been released, although the online rate is good. Combined, there are millions of people in the world. It's just that most of the people only think that this is a period of madness at the beginning of the WCG, and when they wait until later, they will naturally calm down. Even if there is a TT group chat function implanted in this Battle.net system, many companies do not take it seriously.

Therefore, many game companies have given the best time to Tang Dynasty Network. The opportunity to compete with the Tang Dynasty network was most likely to be missed. Seeing this move, Chen Jiayi simply smiled in his heart.

He also thought that with the launch of his battle network, there would be some European and American companies to follow suit. One of the biggest headaches is Blizzard. Just looking at the current situation of Blizzard, there is no action. Chen Jiayi's heart was hanging before, but he let go. Concentrate on the WCG Preliminary Tournament.

On August 20, 2001, Linchuan Municipal Axe released a press release, and the WCG primary competition officially kicked off.

For WCG such a game, although it is claimed to be the surname of the world. However, not all countries are supportive. After all, there are more games in the world. Today there is a World Twin Contest, tomorrow there is a World Funny Contest, and the day after tomorrow there is a World Kissing Contest. For some countries, this WCG is just like that.

It's just that with the battle between China and South Korea for a WCG tournament. The world's media began to report on the WCG in a big way. In addition, there are well-known companies such as Blizzard, EA, Tang Dynasty Network, Microsoft, etc. It can be said that a WCG, although it is only a game competition, has also attracted the attention of many countries.

Especially in Europe and the United States, as well as South Korea, they have long professionalized the game industry, and they are naturally very supportive of WCG. Not to mention, the organizer of the WCG, China. Even if you don't know how to play games, you have strong support for the country to be able to hold a world-class tournament. A large number of young volunteers have already started to participate in various services of the WCG.

In the evening of the same day, the news network also introduced the competition.

The host emphasized, "With the cooperation of world-renowned enterprises such as Linchuan Municipal Axe and Tang Dynasty Network, the WCG competition has finally kicked off today. The Tang Dynasty athletic platform developed by Tang Dynasty Network played a "crucial" role in this competition......

If there is no platform, how can Linchuan Municipal Axe be opened so quickly.

I'm afraid that the preliminary competition will also take months to plan, not to mention the final finals. Perhaps, after this flipping, it is also unknown whether it will be held by the end of the year. Now the "competitive platform" launched by Tang Dynasty Network has attracted all players around the world to the "Tang Dynasty Athletic" platform.

Even if you don't participate in the tournament, you will go to this battle.net and communicate with some other players.

In addition to news broadcasts, major portals, of course, will not let go of such important news.

All major websites, almost all of the front page headlines, have the words WCG.

NetEase News reported, "The Tang Dynasty athletic platform pushes China to the world." ”

This news is very sensational, and there is a sentence in the article to describe the competition.

"I've never seen a Chinese battle platform with millions of people online at the same time. I have never seen more than one million contestants come to participate in the World Surname Contest held by China......"

Although this sentence is very emotional, it is telling the truth.

Not to mention that China has not yet hosted the Olympic Games, even if it is, tens of thousands of athletes from all over the world will compete in China, how can it compare to the scene of the WCG primary. Moreover, these millions of people are just contestants. There are also thousands of players who did not participate, and they also squeezed into the battle platform of the Tang Dynasty network at the same time.

Of course, the Tang Dynasty athletic platform was separate from each other. Otherwise, the current server would not be able to accommodate so many players. However, the database is the same. This also allows many players to easily travel back and forth between countries. Some players think that this fun is much more interesting than competitive games.

In particular, the player joins the TT group of a certain country and discusses the topic of world surnames with players from all over the world, which is an entertainment that they have never enjoyed.

In this way, it was originally a battle platform, but he also gave full play to his entertainment surname. So much so that those who want to play games have entered this platform and have been inseparable from him ever since. And those who don't want to play games, enter this platform, and they can't do without him. Because, there are many super fans here, they have the same hobbies, they have the same topics. Here, he can realize that the world is a line. There is no distance between you and me.

With the continuous progress of the preliminary matches between countries, the e-sports platform of Tang Dynasty Network is becoming more and more popular. Even Blizzard Battle.net players were attracted by the Tang Dynasty competitive platform. Because, in Blizzard's battle network, only Blizzard's games seem to be a bit monotonous, how can there be more games in the Tang Dynasty competition...... Seeing this, Blizzard couldn't sit still and wanted to open the Battle.net platform. It seems that if you calculate, yo, I have more sales in the past few days than in the previous month. It seems that it must be the credit of the Tang Dynasty's competition. Seeing this time, I thought that the Tang Dynasty competition did not find a place to make a profit. If your own battle network is open, not to mention free publicity to others, you may also add a lot of investment to yourself. Thinking about it like this, the ** that opened the battle network was suppressed again.

And the major game manufacturers, since the launch of the Tang Dynasty competition, the sales of each day have also hit new highs from time to time. While counting the money in my heart, I was also secretly wondering. It's just that no matter how they think, they didn't think about what the Tang Dynasty Network wanted to do. Until the end, there was only one thought, "Use this opportunity now to sell more games, and the rest will be talked about later." ”

Seeing all this, Chen Jia laughed wickedly. I thought in my heart, after the WCG preliminary round, then you will never be able to shake the world supremacy of my Tang Dynasty competition. Now, let's go crazy and earn it once.

...... "Mom and Dad, I'm going to go on a long trip tomorrow." ”

The WCG preliminary round has been going on in an orderly manner, and from the current situation, everything is going in a good direction. Calculating the time, there are only ten days before the earth-shattering earthquake.

"Xiaojia, school is going to start in the next few days, and you are about to go to the third year, where do you want to go?"

It's the end of August, and September is the start of school for the whole country.

"Well, the company has something to deal with."

Chen Jiayi didn't say it clearly, so he casually told a little lie. But Chen Tiancai saw it quite openly, "If you have something, go and pay attention to safety." ”

The current Chen Tiancai admires his genius son from the bottom of his heart.

Originally, Chen Tiancai thought that his son was a rare genius, but now it seems that it is so simple to be a genius. You must know that Chen Jiayi only took one year to promote the Tang Dynasty information and Tang Dynasty network to the world. Not to mention, from the beginning of the China Game Show to the current WCG, all reflect Chen Jiayi's super business ability.

Therefore, Linchuan was originally an obscure small city, and it only took a year, but now it has changed greatly. At least, there are already many high-tech enterprises that have come to Linchuan. Among them, there is one called perfect common space. It is said to be a group of graduate students from Tsinghua University, founded a company.

In addition to these, even he himself was influenced by Chen Jiayi.

It is said that in the past year, Chen Tiancai has fully affirmed the economic development of Linchuan.

He is deep in officialdom, how can he not know the meaning of this sentence. That means that it won't be long before he will be promoted.

"Then this time I have to go outside, and there will be no one to go with me."

Li Xiaonian was still not at ease, and asked from time to time.

"Don't worry, someone from the company will accompany you."

In order not to worry Li Xiaonian, Chen Jiayi answered fluently. In the end, there was no need to ask, and Li Xiaonian felt a little relieved.

After the family explained, Chen Jiayi didn't need to ask too much about the company's affairs. just confessed a word, and left Linchuan.

The target of this trip is for the United States.

You may think that Chen Jiayi is going to the United States to buy some game companies.

That's definitely not it, he won't do such a laborious thing. These things can be done by the employees below.

Since it is not an acquisition of a game company, what is Chen Jia doing when he goes to the United States?

As mentioned earlier, the current time is the end of August 2001. The most significant event in 2001 was the 911 terrorist attacks. Now that the time is almost up, Chen Jiayi doesn't want to miss such a major event?

Don't say that Chen Jiayi is cold-blooded, and he can actually watch a large number of people die with his own eyes.

If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, and Chen Jiayi really can't have much sympathy. Just like how much I hang up, there may be 90 percent of Chinese, and there will be no sympathy, and Chen Jiayi is the same. Although the United States does not have any sense of hatred, after all, the United States is the United States, and China is China. These two countries are completely different peoples.

Quantum Fund.

This is Chen Jiayi's first stop in the United States.

The famous Quantum Fund, co-founded by Solo and Rogers.

Don't underestimate the total assets of the quantum fund, which is only a few billion dollars. However, with the role of financial leverage, the quantum fund can control hundreds of billions of funds. Therefore, wherever the quantum fund goes, it can change the global financial market, an important force.

Since the 90s of the last century, the quantum fund has taken advantage of the loopholes in the European exchange rate to launch a contest against the pound. In this battle, the Quantum Fund made billions of dollars in windfall profits.

In addition, the Quantum Fund launched another attack on the Mexican peso, causing the Mexican stock market to collapse.

Even in Asia, the Quantum Fund is also targeting opportunities.

At that time, the financial turmoil in Southeast Asia was caused by the quantum fund. If it weren't for China's political axe to support Hong Kong at that time, the Hong Kong dollar would have been destroyed by the Quantum Fund.

It's just that the quantum fund, which was prosperous for a while, also has times of failure.

In a speculation on the book in 98, due to the miscalculation of the exchange rate, it fell to a heavy loss. Subsequently, the investment in the U.S. stock market coincided with the dot-com bubble. Although there were only two battles, it caused a lot of damage to the vitality of the Quantum Fund.

However, the emaciated camel will eventually be bigger than the horse.

Although the Quantum Fund has been changed to a Quantum Endowment Fund, the impact of the Quantum Fund on the global market cannot be ignored.

"Hello, sir, is there anything I can do to help you?"

At this time, Chen Jiayi came to the headquarters of the Quantum Endowment Fund.
