Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 571 A Global Vision, Rise!
The deafening cheers echoed through the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Sun Baxin took off his headphones, wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, but there was no joy on his face.

Being assigned to this "group of death" means they have to put in several times more effort than usual.

Race is random, opponent is random.

This is a lot of pressure.

He nodded slightly to the Chinese audience area, then quickly stepped off the stage to greet Su Duo, Wang Hao, and the others who were so excited they were about to jump for joy.

"Well done, Mynah! What a great start!" Wang Hao patted his shoulder hard.

"Beautiful my foot." Sun Baxin took a big gulp of water, stared at the real-time updated leaderboard, and said, "It's a one-game-winner situation, every game is a close call. Ackerman is already this strong, and the guys like Grubby and Moon will only be more troublesome. I can only play three games in the qualifiers, so you guys need to watch the games carefully and study their playing styles."

His gaze swept over the other competition areas, where the atmosphere was equally enthusiastic.

The Russian orc player was hacking down his opponent with a berserk Blademaster, eliciting deafening roars from the group of Russian bears in the stands.

Moon from South Korea skillfully maneuvered the Night Elf, his exquisite Entangle and Preservation skills leaving his opponents constantly on the run, while the unified cheers from the Korean fan section rose higher and higher...

This is not just a competition, but a global carnival extravaganza.

This is a grand event that Momo Group has created with billions of US dollars, and it can be called the pinnacle of its kind.

Even their investment in the World Cup is not commensurate with their current level of investment.

Although the investment in the World Cup is much larger than theirs, the World Cup can be recouped. After deducting operating costs, the net profit from direct revenue such as TV broadcasts, tickets, and sponsorships can be as high as 30-40 billion US dollars.

This world esports tournament was their first, and not only was it difficult to secure sponsorships, but they also had to take full responsibility for the television broadcast.

As for tickets, they were pitifully few and negligible.

So Momo Group's investment of over 20 billion US dollars was simply thrown in.

This is purely charity work.

Of course, it wasn't thrown away for nothing.

At the very least, Global Vision's capital market valuation should be around 30 billion US dollars.

Besides the $30 billion, the most important thing is the agency rights for Universal Television.

The agents in each country are media giants in their respective countries, who own a 60% cut of global television channels and 80% of the revenue from global television dishes.

Such a large profit-sharing ratio is unprecedented.

This match can also be described as a celebration for media giants from various countries.

Cheng Yi did this out of necessity. Although he could reduce his share of the profits to gain more, time was too tight for him.

He has to use time to earn money.

He needs this channel to speak out.

In a war between giants, it's difficult to eliminate each other. Besides the contest of financial resources, the contest of public opinion is even more important.

This is also where Chinese enterprises suffer the most.

Because Chinese companies are unable to make their voices heard overseas.

Even though Microsoft used underhanded methods to destroy Momo Group, in the eyes of many overseas people, Microsoft simply killed a group of barbarians with queues who didn't understand business rules. They were eliminating the scourge of Momo Group for the sake of people all over the world.

The last Momo Group annual meeting had already boosted Momo Group's brand awareness, allowing many people around the world to see a young and dynamic emerging internet company.

And Global Vision is the largest strategic move made to make our voice heard.

Just like in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when two armies are facing off, they must first learn to hurl insults at each other on the battlefield. If one side is all mute, then there's no point in fighting at all; they'll all be so angry that they'll become like Wang Lang (a character from a Chinese novel known for his taunts).

Meanwhile, outside the stadium, the signals from Universal Vision were penetrating the clouds and covering the globe through the two leased satellites, reaching every corner of the world through the channels of its partners.

India, Mumbai, Dharavi slum.

In the dirty alley, an old black-and-white television set was propped up high, its screen flickering, playing a live broadcast of a match on the Universal Vision Hindi channel.

Dozens of shirtless teenagers and young people crowded in front of the screen, their eyes wide open.

When Tiger, the Indian player, managed to hold off the Singaporean player's attack with his Orc infantry and finally pulled off a brilliant counter-kill, the entire alleyway erupted in deafening cheers.

"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!" The boys waved their arms and jumped around excitedly.

An elderly woman in a faded sari was selling cheap snacks from a plate, a smile on her face.

The owner of the nearby grocery store turned up the TV volume with his greasy hands and cheered loudly along with the group of young people.

In the rest area of ​​an upscale shopping mall in Gangnam District, Seoul, South Korea.

The area in front of a high-end color TV was packed. When Moon gracefully dodged his opponent's fatal blow and then used the Demon Hunter to achieve a miraculous comeback, the entire mall's rest area erupted in cheers.

Several stylishly dressed girls excitedly hugged each other, one of them pointing at the screen and shouting, "Oppa, Moon oppa is so handsome! I want to have his babies!"

Her companion next to her laughed and nudged her, saying, "Save your breath, Moon oppa only has eyes for deer and tree spirits."

Carnivals were held all over the world because of this game.

In the monitoring room of the headquarters of Universal Vision, various curves flicker on many screens.

Countless curves representing user growth, viewership, bandwidth usage, and social media buzz are soaring upwards at an unprecedented slope.

Different colored blocks represent different countries and regions. Compared with European and American countries, the Asian block presents a fiery deep red.

"Report: India's user base has surpassed 800 million, with a peak viewership of 43%."

"South Korean users surpass 1200 million, and social media discussion tops the trending searches."

"Philippine users surged by 300%."

"Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia... all are booming, and all language channels have achieved record-breaking ratings."

The technical director's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement, and even trembled slightly.

He turned to look at Zhao Gang, who was standing in the center of the command platform.

Zhao Gang nodded, trying to appear calm, but his clenched fists betrayed the surging emotions within him.

He stared at the curves on the screen, overwhelmed with emotion. At that moment, it felt somewhat unreal.

He vaguely recalled the scene of his first meeting with Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi put on a smug look, and led Shi Lei and his gang of troubled teenagers to block him and his female assistant in the middle, pretending to beat him up.

What happened next was completely unexpected. The activities organized by that arrogant teenager became a sensation in Jingzhou City, and he was forced by the editor-in-chief's intimidation to bow his head and apologize to Cheng Yi.

He vaguely remembered that Cheng Yi said he would become the most powerful media person in China.

He was just trying to appease the editor-in-chief and thought it was just a joke.

But now?

Zhao Gang's eyes immediately turned fiery.

In the Handong Daily, if you call him Director Zhao, he won't hold a grudge.

But what should we call him after he leaves the Handong Daily?
Which provincial TV station bigwig would not respectfully address him as "Director Zhao" when they meet him?

Zhao Gang composed himself, knowing this was not the time to let his mind wander. He said in a deep voice, "That's not enough. Notify all the language channel managers to fill the channels with competition-related programs: player interviews, tactical analysis, behind-the-scenes footage, fan interactions... broadcast 24/7 to keep the hype going!"

"Yes!"

Late at night, Cheng Yi lay in the executive apartment of the group, having watched the live broadcast of today's game, but still couldn't fall asleep.

After nearly a year of preparation, it's time to show the results.

Although he really wanted to go to Singapore to watch the game and direct it on-site, he knew very well that he absolutely could not leave China now.

Momo Group's foundation is unstable. If he, as the leader, makes any mistake, Momo Group will immediately collapse and cease to exist.

The methods employed by those capitalists are so insidious that they are impossible to guard against.

It would be better if he were a woman, but he is a man.

Simply put, the biggest flaw in men is lust.

Neither Michael Jackson nor Amir Don could escape this attack.

Because women don't need much evidence to report men for rape or molestation.

If the governments of foreign countries are even more corrupt, they might detain you first and then search for evidence, leaving you with absolutely no way to defend yourself.

If he is detained for more than two months, Momo Group will be absolutely doomed.

As the saying goes, "When you're in the world, you're not in control of your own destiny."

At this moment, Lin Qingyin walked in with a cup of hot milk, gently placed it on his desk, and said, "Still watching? Sun Baxin and the others played well today, and their chances of advancing from the group stage are very good."

Cheng Yi's gaze didn't leave the screen, but a smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Old Eight is holding back a lot of energy; they performed very well."

Lin Qingyin said softly, "The combined effect of satellite dishes and e-sports competitions is too great. I think the media giants in Europe and America are probably getting restless now."

Lin Qingyin glanced at Cheng Yi with some concern.

Lin Qingyin has undergone a significant transformation in her work with the group over the past few years.

The only change for these members of the gifted youth program is if they join the group company.

Members of the gifted youth program like Yu Sen, Huang Ganping, and Liu Guiwu were once clueless newbies who only knew how to study programming. But after being honed by Huaxia Software Group, they are now more shrewd than monkeys, and it's hard to trick them into working overtime.

Cheng Yi stretched out his leg, and Lin Qingyin naturally sat on Cheng Yi's lap.

Cheng Yi put his arm around Lin Qingyin's waist and laughed, "It's good that you can't sit still. That's the effect we want. Only the strong are qualified to cooperate with them. In other words, only the strong will be taken seriously by them."

Just then, Cheng Yi's phone rang.

It was Du Yusheng calling from Singapore.

"Boss." Du Yusheng's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement as he said amidst some background noise, "Did you see the live broadcast? Our opening ceremony was a great success! I heard from Zhao Gang that the viewership has already entered the top ten media outlets in the world. The head of the Rothschild family's British branch was just exchanging pleasantries with Mike, using 'phenomenal' and 'strategic masterpiece' to describe our phenomenal success."

“I heard from Mike that they took the initiative to propose to deepen their cooperation with Enze Capital, seemingly to promote a media integration plan in Asia and even Europe. Their translator talked to me several times today, saying that they want to acquire the shares we hold.”

Cheng Yi wasn't surprised.

The Huaxia Operations Center of Universal Vision has been a great success, with more than 9100 million TV users, accounting for one-third of the users of Universal Vision's headquarters.

Therefore, Enze Capital used this as an excuse to transfer 28% of the shares of Huanyu Vision's headquarters to Momo Group.

This 28% stake is also a deterrent to Microsoft.

This lets Microsoft know that Momo Group also has the ability to communicate with overseas users.

However, the fact that Momo Group, with its size, suddenly acquired a 28% stake has made many overseas investors extremely eager to invest.

Not only the Rothschild family, but even Microsoft is eyeing the shares held by Momo Group.

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Tell them that our door to cooperation is always open. However, we are now waiting for the right price. The value of Universal Vision has only just begun to be realized. Let them be patient. But don't completely give them no hope. We also need to use their influence in European political and business circles to help us deal with some future troubles."

“Boss, I understand.” Du Yusheng’s voice was full of energy as he said, “Also, Johnson seems to be getting restless. Our people have observed a significant increase in media brokers coming in and out of Microsoft’s Asia headquarters these past two days, and they are all high-ranking. I estimate they are preparing for a two-month operation.”

Cheng Yi sneered, "Don't worry about them. Our base has now shrunk to Asia. If they fight us in Asia and things really get out of hand, at most it will be a lose-lose situation. If our Momo Group falls, their Microsoft Asia-Pacific headquarters won't last long either. Just focus on making the competition a success. The Universal Vision brand is our best defense."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yi looked out the window at the brightly lit industrial park.

Even at 10 p.m., many windows in the Momo Technology Industrial Park are still lit up, where countless young people with dreams are working hard in the incubator.

"Qingyin," he suddenly said, "Do you think that when our voices can be heard by billions of people at the same time, those once high and mighty giants will look at us yellow-skinned people with more respect?"

Lin Qingyin's gaze also fell upon the industrial park, which was lit up like a dazzling galaxy, and she said softly, "It definitely will, and I think that day is not far away."

Outside the window, groups of young people with dreams are striving for their ideals in the Momo Technology Industrial Park.

In Singapore, a media storm ignited by esports, carried by satellite dishes, and spearheaded by Universal Vision is sweeping the globe at an unprecedented speed.

With the support of audiences worldwide, Global Vision is gradually moving into the core of power in the global media landscape.
