Chapter 199: Beverly Hills

"BOSS, when will you get your private jet?" There was some curiosity on the plane, and James asked Zhao Hao.

Hearing James's words, Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile and shook his head slightly: "I don't know yet, but it is estimated that it will be another two months, and I didn't ask about the latest progress of Boeing." ”

In fact, for Zhao Hao, he himself is also very much looking forward to this new big toy.

After all, airplanes have been made, but this kind of private jet, Zhao Hao has only seen others own.

And today's Zhao Hao is definitely not bad for money, at least there is still money to buy a private jet.

This year, Zhao Hao's simple profits, including some peripheral profits, have almost reached a profit of 2.5 billion US dollars.

Of course, this number does not mean that Zhao Hao has been able to earn so much every month.

In fact, the gaming and entertainment industries are the most profitable in the beginning, and there is no doubt that after the rest of the year, unless there are new money-making projects, there will be a large reduction in annual revenue.

However, Zhao Hao doesn't have to worry about this problem, in fact, the space door is not just a simple manufacturing of consoles and PC games.

In the same department, a studio for mobile games and mobile app software has also been established.

And there has been some improvement, from the initial need to invest money, to now being self-sufficient, which is already a good progress.

Also because there is an exclusive space gate international competition, a competition jointly organized with the live channel.

It can be said that it is also an international competition, which is being prepared.

'Minecraft', 'Fallout', and 'Horse Riding & Slashing' are all competitive events in which the competition is played.

As for the prize money of the event, Zhao Hao will use a similar method of crowdfunding at that time.

For example, Zhao Hao launched a series of box products such as jewelry skins in games such as 'Minecraft', and after players purchased them. Fifteen or twenty percent of the money will be allocated to the prize pool for the participating teams.

Whether there will be a career in any game is not simply popular, but also needs high bonus support.

For the Space Gate series of competitions, Zhao Hao hopes to make it a grand event.

It's like a sport.

Actually, it's for this kind of series of competitions. Tickets and so on are not a source of income.

The real source of income is the on-site merchandising.

Of course, if you want to sell merchandise, you also need the player's enthusiasm for the game, which is undoubtedly a thing.

And Spacegate's current global sales of games may mean nothing.

But up to 27 million registered users.

And an average of 5.2 million people online per day, it speaks for itself.

That's an average of 5.2 million people online per day, and at its peak it was more than 7 million.

This is already a very scary statistic for the number of people online on the gaming platform on PC.

However, the mainland alone contributed more than 3.5 million online people.

And that's just the number of people on the PC platform, the total number of online users of the three games on the console platform, "Minecraft", "Fallout" and "Mount and Blade" is as high as 6.3 million, and the peak number of people is as high as 10 million.

However, if you want to talk about the most profitable game, at present, it still belongs to Fallout, followed by Minecraft. As for horseback riding and slashing, because it has just been launched, there is not much time to go, and related weapon skins, horse mounts, armor fashions, etc. have not yet been launched, but are in development.

The registered account of Zhao Hao's space gate games does not have a large number of games like Steam, just like a video game supermarket.

Zhao Hao's Space Gate account can only play three games.

But even so, there are such a high number of people, which is really something that shocks everyone.

Although there is still a high gap between the number of people on the Steam platform, I have to admit that it can have such a large number of registered users. It's almost incredible.

You must know that there are many great works in Steam that can be played without spending money.

But there's no such game inside the Space Gate. Some only have three games, and they all cost money.

That is to say, almost every player who has registered a Space Gate game account has purchased a game under Space Gate.

Such a large audience of players undoubtedly proves one thing, that is, Zhao Hao has successfully grasped the mainstream of the current game industry.

This is one of the main reasons why Google invited Spacegate as a VR game entertainment development partner.

There is no doubt that innovation is the most important thing for emerging technologies.

Only a company that is constantly innovating can be successful.

Although unchanged represents stability, it also represents decline.

I want to succeed. Blind steadiness is obviously absolutely impossible.

After flying for about two or three hours, Zhao Hao and the others came to Los Angeles.

Came to Los Angeles instead of San Francisco, where Google is headquartered.

But that's not much of a problem, as the two cities are not too far away, and it's only an hour's journey from Los Angeles to San Francisco.

And it's just that James, the main developers of these cores, will go to Google, and Zhao Hao doesn't actually have to be there every day.

After all, today's Zhao Hao is a rich boss first. And then the technicians.

In fact, like Google's founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, actually have very little technical work on the subject.

This is Zhao Hao's second time in Los Angeles, the first time was when he attended the premiere of 'Minecraft', when he visited Disney, and now it is Zhao Hao's second time.

It's just that this time it hasn't been too long, and Zhao Hao and they are going to live in this city.

Beverly Hills, known as the "World's Most Exclusive Residential Area", is the most famous city within a city in Los Angeles, with the world's most exclusive shopping streets, many mansions of Hollywood movie stars, and is also a mecca for the world of cinema. Every year, Beverly Hills attracts visitors from all over the world to explore the streets with curiosity.

And now Zhao Hao is going to buy a villa in it as a future living place.

In fact, Zhao Hao has entrusted others to find their villa, and the only thing left is to sign a contract and visit the villa.

On the hillside of Beverly Hills, in the middle of a French-style mansion.

Zhao Hao took the signature pen from the business manager in front of him and signed his name on the contract.

At the same time, $42.5 million was also paid off at the first time.

That's the price for this villa.

$42.5 million.

"Congratulations, Mr. Zhao, now you are the owner of this mansion." After Zhao Hao signed the contract, a smile appeared on his face.

In fact, the mansion has been listed on Beverly Hills for two years.

It's not that the location is bad, in fact this French mansion is located on a hillside in Beverly, covering an area of 8,093 square meters, while overlooking the famous Sunset Boulevard.

It's just that with the global economic downturn in recent years, not many people are interested in this villa.

Because it's so expensive, unlike most luxury homes in Beverly Hills, which cost $10 million or two.

The mansion was sold for $68 million, and even now, two years later, the global downturn is $42.5 million.

"Can I stay in it now?" Looking at the business manager, Zhao Hao nodded with satisfaction.

I have to say that this mansion is a world of difference compared to the villa in the domestic city at the beginning.

"Of course, now this is your private territory, Mr. Zhao." Hearing Zhao Hao's words, the business manager said with a smile.

Entering the room, Tolia and Akasha and the Rolling Ball Beast all chose a room of their own, while Zhao Hao walked to the balcony and looked at the famous sunset avenue.

Seriously, at least at this time, this so-called Sunset Boulevard doesn't really look like anything special. (To be continued......)
