  Chapter 1177 Hooked

  Xue Leshan wants to build today into a carnival for the global game industry. Of course, there are a lot of resources and dollars invested.

Today, in addition to holding various programs in the TGA e-sports base, selling various game peripheral products, hand-made models, co-branded products, etc. On the website, in addition, it cooperated with offline game retailers such as Game Station to hold discount promotions.

  Represented by Xueleshan, as well as released games, all discounts are on sale in the storefronts of retailers such as GameStop today!

On the Xueleshan game platform, the scale is even bigger. All the prices of more than 6,000 games on the platform have been reduced, including 218 games with sales exceeding one million dollars. These are considered popular games. Xueleshan has exempted the "procedures" In the past, when selling a game, the Xueleshan platform would charge about 13%, but today, Xueleshan does not charge this part of the fee when buying a game, which is equivalent to bypassing the middleman and buying the game directly from the game company!

  In addition, Xueleshan also issued a large number of discount coupons, such as a discount of 10 dollars for a purchase of 100 dollars, a discount of 80 dollars for a purchase of 1,000 dollars, and so on.

You know, the Xueleshan game platform is not only selling games, but also game peripheral products, such as Diamond graphics cards, Diamond MP3, Panda display screens, Alcatel mobile phones, Sega game consoles, Xbox360 game consoles, and EMC solid state drives. , as well as e-sports products, e-sports chairs, mice, data cables, America Telecom calling cards, etc. are all for sale.

   Even including dynamic software wallpapers, Symbian music stores, and paid movies on IMDB. On the Xueleshan platform, software from a large number of software companies is also represented. This time Xueleshan also waived the handling fee and began to sell vigorously!

  When Cameron and his girlfriend entered the e-sports base, there were already countless shopkeepers, even people who were not gamers, who were already sitting in front of the computer and waiting for the arrival of the Sierra Game Carnival.

Cameron and his girlfriend, as soon as they entered, they saw countless game booths, a large group of players in cosplay clothes shuttled among them, and many Hollywood singers and stars came to the live performance. How much money was spent to invite so many Hollywood stars.

Cameron also heard that today Sierra Mountain invited many sports industry stars to participate in exhibition games. Players have the opportunity to form teams with these NBA, rugby and other stars to play CS, StarCraft, live football and other games. Sometimes, these Hollywood stars and sports stars will team up to PK each other, and even play an exhibition match with professional e-sports teams. Xue Leshan wants to use this method to tell all players that the game is no longer mainstream. Stars and even powerful figures are also playing!

  As soon as they entered, Cameron's girlfriend pulled Cameron straight to the TGA game retail store in the e-sports base, pulled a cart, and began to sweep the goods.

It’s really sweeping the goods, as long as they look pleasing to the eye, they will all be taken away. There is more than one girl who moves like Cameron’s girlfriend. The last time Cameron’s girlfriend bought a Kung Fu Panda figure here is a joint name with Gucci. I checked on eBay later, the transaction price of these two items on eBay is more than twice the price in the e-sports base, that is, I took it away from here and sold it through eBay Go, and you can directly earn hundreds of thousands of dollars!

Cameron's girlfriend, this time, is gritted her teeth and is going to take a gamble. She bet that the things she bought from here at a discounted price will wait for a while and then sell them through eBay. Earn a dollar equivalent to her salary of several months!

Looking at his girlfriend who is hoarding goods, Cameron is also a little itchy, especially those 30% off Sega, Microsoft Xbox game consoles, Diamond high-end graphics cards, EMC solid state drives with large memory, and rolls of discounted game discs , Game collectibles, souvenirs, Cameron is really greedy!

Before coming, Cameron told himself that this time he came here just to join in the fun. He was going to marry his girlfriend, get married and have a baby to take care of the family. I am afraid that it would be impossible to imagine what game carnival to participate in today, but looking at the scene in front of him Is it something that a serious person can do to test players with high-end graphics cards that are regarded as "artifacts" by gamers? !

  Finally, Cameron stretched out his hand. Like his girlfriend, he began to put the items on the shelf into the cart...

  At nine o'clock in the evening, the games, peripheral products, software, etc. on the Xueleshan game platform began to enter the 15-hour "carnival" price. After 12 o'clock tonight, the original price will be restored.

  Xue Leshan Game President Ken Williams, sitting in the TGA e-sports base, listened to the executives of the e-sports base reporting the status of the carnival to him, and communicated with the ICQ headquarters through Skype at any time.

  Skype has been updated again. The quality of the new Skype voice call has been greatly improved. The difference with the phone call is not so big. The depth and safety have also been upgraded.

  Ken Williams stood at the window, he could faintly hear the deafening rock music, and he could see the huge number of players pouring into the e-sports base.

"President Irene, the number of players entering the TGA e-sports base has already exceeded 65,000. It is expected that more than 80,000 players will enter the e-sports base today. If it exceeds 90,000, the e-sports base will start to restrict The player has entered!"

Ken Williams said happily and helplessly that the influx of so many players today was beyond the expectations of Sierra Games, but the total capacity of the entire e-sports base was not more than 100,000 people when it was originally designed. This is in addition to the Universal Studios Park next door, otherwise fewer players can be accepted.

   "Williams, you are in charge of handling the affairs of the e-sports base. Today's game carnival must not go wrong!"

  Irene said to Ken Williams, ICQ is also very busy today. The technicians and customer service staff of the entire headquarters are supporting the Sierra game platform!

   "Due to the opening of the carnival in Xuele Mountain for three hours, the TGA e-sports base has over 70,000 players, and the capacity of the TGA e-sports base is close to saturation!"

The IGN game forum, which was acquired by Murdoch News Corporation, was the first to post a picture of the grand occasion of the TGA e-sports base on the forum by a front-line reporter. The scene of the huge crowds directly caused the entire IGN forum to explode. No one agreed. where to go? !

   Afterwards, game channels and game forums of many portal websites reposted this picture one after another, and the global game industry saw the scene of the Xuele Mountain Carnival.

   "Xue Leshan game platform website, the number of user visits today hit a record high, over 8 million users visited the Xuele Mountain game platform, and the turnover exceeded 410 million US dollars!"

  After IGN, "Connection" magazine also broke the news after receiving the news from ICQ. In just one morning, the Xueleshan game platform was paid more than 400 million US dollars.

When this news came out, the entire Silicon Valley and Wall Street were stunned. They didn't believe that they were being robbed. Those who placed orders on the Xueleshan platform might have taken advantage of it, but they never believed that Xueleshan and ICQ will lose money!

A game carnival can sell more than 400 million US dollars in one morning, which makes Silicon Valley and Wall Street a little unexpected. You have to know how many leeks the Xueleshan game platform can cut in this morning, and this game The world's carnival can be held every year!

The companies in the entire game industry are a little bit ready to move for a while, and the game manufacturers who did not participate in the Xuele Mountain Carnival will feel a little regretful at this time. Regardless of whether this game carnival will make money or not, it is definitely It is a great opportunity to clear the inventory and raise the stock price. It can whitewash the revenue very beautifully, and the stock price will naturally rise.

  The news related to this game carnival made the entire game sector, from game developers to game retailer Game Station and other stocks, follow a big new year.

  The Xueleshan game platform announced a number of game peripheral products, including Diamond graphics cards, Panda display screens, e-sports equipment, etc., which are all sold out today, and the single-day sales hit a record high.

  The entire game industry, as well as Silicon Valley, Wall Street, etc., are all paying attention to today's Sierra Carnival, and even many people who don't want to see it are forced to see Sierra's performance.

In the office of the head of the Federal Communications Commission in Washington, Telephone and Telegraph Group President William Hannigan, Southwestern Bell President Edward Whitaker, Sprint President Bill Esry and other major figures of the Federal Telecommunications Carriers Association were present .

  These people also saw the performance of Sierra Games today, and Edward Whitaker couldn't help but snorted at this moment, "After the Sierra Carnival, the Skype platform may increase a large number of users!"

Hearing this, the bosses of the telecommunications giants also had different expressions. They came here today to "force the palace" and force the Federal Communications Commission to make a choice between the Telecom Operators Association and Skype. See the end support who!

The telecom operators are no longer willing to wait any longer, and are planning to launch the final blow through the Federal Communications Commission, the Federal Department of Justice, and Capitol Hill. If they win, Skype will close down. If they lose, they... admit defeat, anyway It can't be to let Skype cut the flesh so slowly.
