Chapter 683 Miracles Abound in the Internet Age

Seeing that Molly was immersed in the Counter-Strike game, Wu Tao laughed, but he would not expose it on the spot.

So his eyes fell on the two tall bookshelves against the wall, and he was immediately attracted by the dazzling array of financial economics works.

At a glance, Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations", David Ricardo's "Principles of Political Economy and Taxation", Marshall's "Principles of Economics", Samuelson's "Economics" and other famous works are impressively listed.

Sure enough, the wisdom of the genius girl is not born, so much unknown sweat is still put in behind it.

In contrast, the way she is immersed in the game now is even more interesting.

The beautiful western face, coupled with the proud figure, and the loose T-shirt covering the thighs at the moment, made her look even more sexy and invincible.

Accompanied by the sound of being shot, Molly quit the game in frustration. When she looked up, she saw Wu Tao looking at her with a smile.

Immediately, he picked up a check on the table, handed it lightly to Wu Tao and said, "I know you won, but I am willing to admit defeat. I have prepared this check a long time ago."

Wu Tao happily accepted the check, and glanced at the slightly protruding chest of the other party. He was indeed a firm supporter of the vacuum theory.

"Thank you!" Wu Tao teased as he raised the check in his hand, "Next time there is a similar bet, Ms. Molly, please don't be polite to me, and I will definitely accompany you to the end."

Molly raised her head and said proudly, "Millions of dollars are just a drop in the bucket. Do you know how much the Quantum Fund and I have earned in Asia over the past six months? "

It's really not a pleasant topic.

Wu Tao turned around and said, "Not interested."

"Stop!" Molly followed closely, "Even if you don't want to listen, I have to say it. The 21st century is the era of finance. Under the tide of economic globalization, financial instruments and the benefits derived from them will become the easiest means of earning money.”

"...As for your business or the Internet, no matter how good you do it, you can't make money faster than using financial means. I think it was only on the premise of your excellent management in Bangkok that you hoped that we could work together... "

Before the other party finished speaking, Wu Tao interrupted decisively: "May I ask who is the richest man in the world today? Is he a financial predator?"

Molly was dumbfounded.

Bill Gates has been the richest man in the world since 1996. And the financial giant she admires, Buffett is only second.

"But there is only one outstanding talent like Bill Gates in the world. Do you think you can surpass him?"

Wu Tao spread his hands and shrugged, "How will you know if you don't try? What if it exceeds..."

Seeing Wu Tao leave in a hurry, Molly couldn't help stamping her feet in resentment. Every time she couldn't speak up to him, it was simply too hateful.

Back at her own villa, Shi Qianxue had already changed into casual clothes, denim shorts that reached her thighs, and a loose golden T-shirt with the hem tied tightly in front of her navel.

Be as casual as you want.

Seeing Wu Tao's return, Shi Qianxue didn't have the slightest intention to avoid suspicion. Instead, she walked towards Wu Tao with her big white legs shaking and teased: "I thought you wouldn't be back tonight!"

"Where do you want to go?" Wu Tao said angrily, "I just went to find her to cash out the bet."

"Didn't you conquer a foreign beauty by the way? She lost to you, so she must be convinced by you. This is a good opportunity."

"Not interested!" After Wu Tao finished speaking, he walked into the open kitchen, opened the large refrigerator with double doors, touched a bottle of plain water, and took a few swigs.

When Wu Tao said that she was not interested, Shi Qianxue was immediately surprised, "Don't you think she looks like Scarlett?"

"Who is Scarlett?"

"Scarlett Johansson!"

"I don't know!" Wu Tao continued to drink water.

"You deserve it..." Shi Qianxue couldn't help being speechless, but the words came to her throat, and she swallowed them angrily.

Wu Tao took the bottle of water and went upstairs by himself.

In the upstairs study room, there is a computer with the latest configuration, which is connected to the Internet through broadband, which is almost a compulsory course for him every night.

After finally finding some feeling of surfing the Internet in the previous life, it is natural to take advantage of this rare opportunity and become a good Internet worm.

I habitually visit the international gamer forums, and a large number of Counter-Strike fans have been born here.

Many of them, even newcomers who have never been in contact with video games, just joined in because of their fascination with military and firearms, and then found the sustenance of military fans.

This is also where Counter-Strike is superior to StarCraft, that is, many newcomers have been developed to join.

Only in this way can the video game market continue to develop and expand until it matures.

After quitting the game player forum, Wu Tao then logged into NetEase's BBS.

Coincidentally, Ding Shisan, Fairy Zixia and Yonge were having a heated chat.

Especially Ding Shisan, who brought the entire Netease team with him, had just moved from Yangcheng to the capital, and he was filled with the excitement of Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

Looking through the dozens of recent posts on the forum, they are all photos taken by this guy in his office in the capital.

Seeing Wu Tao appear, Ding Shisan immediately came up and said, "Hey, boss, you are finally here. Did you know that Counter-Strike has become popular in China, and the number of online registrations has exceeded 1 million now! If this continues, is it okay? "

Wu Tao is relatively indifferent, because he knows that the domestic registered users have reached this scale, basically there will be no breakthrough in a short time.

Because the number of netizens in the whole country is there, even if you count the promotion of your own Internet cafe project, the current number of netizens in China is only about 2 million.

Today, Counter-Strike has more than 1 million registrations, which means that at least half of the Internet users are obsessed with this game.

Of course, there may be cases where one person registers multiple accounts, but this should be a minority.

"By the way, boss, I heard that the sales and online registration performance in the European and American markets are not very optimistic, how is it now?" Fairy Zixia followed up.

Wu Tao replied cracklingly, "That's the past tense. Now the performance of Counter-Strike has been on par with StarCraft, and it is expected that the sales will exceed 1 million, which is completely expected."

Ding Shisan immediately exclaimed, "My God, boss, why do you do everything well? How do you let us engage in the Internet like this?"

Regarding Ding Shisan's funny comparison, Wu Tao didn't respond directly, but said in other words: "Do you know that the latest list of the world's richest people is released?"

"I know, Bill Gates is still number one!" Ding Shisan said immediately, "Could it be that you are also on the list?"

"No!" Wu Tao was really overwhelmed by this guy's brain circuit, "What I want to say is that this is the first time a Chinese is on the list, and Yang Zhiyuan is No. 27!"

Ding Shisan immediately stopped talking, he knew what Wu Tao's intention was in bringing up this matter.

The Internet age has arrived, and as long as one gets on the express train, no matter what kind of miracles are possible, they will appear.

Fairy Zixia said resentfully: "If the Internet industry continues to develop like this, I'm afraid that Yuanqi Technology will fall out of favor in a few years..."

Yonge: Very likely.
