Early on the third morning, Luo Sheng received news from John Paulson that Paulson's hedge fund had another income and transferred a total of US$2.15 billion in his account.

Then in the afternoon, Michael Barry's successor fund also received a second profit, a total of US$1.9 billion in net income.

This money comes quickly and easily, and it gives Luo Sheng a feeling that it is no different from the wind blowing.

If you want to say what you feel... Of course it is a great deal.

Bluestar Technology Group's current large-scale company had only more than $10 billion in revenue last year, and its cash reserves have only more than $10 billion so far. Betting against the North American housing market has more than $10 billion in net income in a minute.

Simply put, Luo Sheng’s current personal wealth is enough to be comparable to the entire Blue Star Technology Group, and his value has even surpassed Bill Gates.

Because most of Gates' worth is real estate, Luo Sheng can now take out more than one billion US dollars at any time. This is his personal disposable asset, not the company's assets.

In the following days, the two hedge funds settled all their returns and transferred them to the investors' accounts. Luo Sheng was initially excited for a while and did not keep staring at them.

Anyway, I can't escape, so someone can help me manage the offshore fund. I can wait until all the income is credited and check the total number.

...

Mid-late August.

Luo Sheng ended his usual routine work, and the company's daily operations and management, Zhang Bowen was responsible for Blue Star Technology Group, and Yao Jianhong was responsible for the Coast of Blue. Both of them were actual executors of doing practical things.

As for Luo Sheng, about half of his working hours are spent on technical development, and the other 20% of his time is approved for various materials and proposals, and the remaining 30% of his time is spent on meetings.

Every week, on average, five or six meetings, formal or informal meetings, are held every day.

During the [azure] plan, Luo Sheng worked hard every day during those years. He was as hard as a hard worker at a young age. He worked at least 100 hours a week, which was equivalent to working hours of more than 14 hours a day.

That time was really tense, and I had to grab the time for product release.

After entering 2007, Luo Sheng was not as hard as before. He had a weekend for the first time. He used to work every day. Now, it is normal for weekends to be resting time, and holidays are also on holidays. He will never work when it is time to rest.

For the first time, the boundary between work and personal life is clearly defined.

Even so, Luo Sheng still maintains a working duration of 70 hours a week, which means that he still has to work 14 hours a day from Monday to Friday working days.

There is really not much spare time to manage such a huge business empire.

In the second half of 2007, Luo Sheng's work focus was basically on two new projects: "online cloud translation" and "virtual idol".

The former is not a plan that can be achieved overnight, but after it is launched, the business of Blue Star Technology Group will immediately usher in a new leap. As for the latter, it will make more layouts for the next 10 or 20 years. This year, it will mainly launch a movie-level advertising promotional video, first establishing the setting of Hatsune Miku, the virtual idol.

But if you want to become a true idol, you still need a large behind-the-scenes team to carefully train it.

As time goes by, Luo Sheng spends less and less time in the technical development team, and gradually he leaves it out, and the subsequent development is left to He Chao's team to undertake.

As for Luo Sheng who was withdrawn, he naturally would not do anything and would not be a free person.

Entering late August, Luo Sheng's attention shifted to the gaming field, to be precise, the new field of e-sports.

The e-sports industry is undoubtedly a new field at the moment, and the global market in the entire e-sports field is only a few hundred million US dollars.

But in the future, this is a huge market that can reach tens of billions of dollars. Not only that, the e-sports field also has strong linkage with Blue Star Technology and the Costa del Blue, which is an important part of Luo Sheng’s moat.

Koreans pioneered the e-sports industry and also made it through the financial crisis of 1997. In a sense, Koreans actually made it through the economic quagmire with an electronic game. This is not an exaggeration, but a fact that has happened.

Koreans largely rely on "Starcraft" to get out of the financial crisis. In addition to being outstanding in this game, the popularity of this game was created to a certain extent by the times.

It was the Asian financial crisis, and "StarCraft" was released online and quickly became popular in South Korea. South Korea promoted the game with its national strength and created a brand new industry - e-sports.

To this end, the Koreans established the World E-sports Competition - wcg.

The most popular e-sports game now is undoubtedly "Starcraft", which began in 1999 and was also the beginning of the e-sports industry.

Now, since the date of its birth, the e-sports industry has entered its ninth year. The e-sports game "Starcraft" is known as South Korea's "three major national skills" together with football and archery. South Korea's interstellar league has made the e-sports industry in other countries envious with its mature commercial operation and professional event organization.

This also puts South Korea's e-sports industry at the forefront of the world at present. Its mature coaching system, training system, selection system, and event system are very complete, plus sponsorship from Samsung Group, the two telecommunications heroes, SK Telecom, and KTF.

It can be said that the current development status of the e-sports industry in South Korea is in full swing.

According to the Wall Street Journal, excellent professional players can get an annual salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Judging from South Korea's economic standards, the income of professional players is already very considerable. The players' popularity is no less than that of the top stars in the Korean entertainment industry. The finals of the StarCraft year ago attracted 120,000 viewers to watch.

It can be seen that the e-sports industry is booming in South Korea.

...

In the technical department of Blue Star Technology Company, Luo Sheng, Xu Yong and others were chatting in a lounge, eating free snacks, which was so comfortable.

"Hey, when will this year's WCG start? Or has it been finished?" Luo Sheng asked suddenly.

Xu Yong and others were stunned for a while when they heard this, and the question was jumping too far.

"Wcg? Are you talking about the wcg that is the abbreviation of the World E-sports Competition?" Xu Yong asked uncertainly.

"Of course, that's it." Luo Sheng nodded affirmatively.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yong sang on the laptop next to him and said, "Not yet, this is the seventh session, and the competition will start in October, and there will be more than a month."

After saying that, Xu Yong pushed the notebook aside, looked back at Luo Sheng and said suspiciously: "What are you asking about this?"

Luo Sheng seemed to be muttering to himself: "You guys say, should I start a new job and make one? Or can I buy wcg directly?"

What?

Everyone was confused, and Xu Yong immediately said, "Boss, what kind of magical operation is this?"

Luo Sheng looked at everyone with a smile and said, "It's nothing. I'm very optimistic about the e-sports industry. This is a sunrise industry and is also very important to the company. Otherwise, why do you think I bought Valve and other game companies early?"

Speaking of which, Gabe Newell has become fatter and fatter recently, and has gradually evolved into "g-fat"...

Xu Yong shrugged: "Okay, then just have fun. I don't care about the operation department, but I think it's not impossible to raise one by myself. With our financial resources, I still acquired the Korean WCG faster and could not take a few dollars. Let me sing..."

After a while, Xu Yong took the computer on his leg and placed it, quickly typing on the keyboard, and then looked at the message on the screen and said: "If you want to acquire WCG... the event is hosted by the Korean international electronic marketing company IM, and Samsung Group provides sponsorship fees. Oh, and Microsoft became one of the sponsors last year."

Another level 7 engineer sitting in the lounge said, "Boss, why not just be more ruthless and buy Blizzard Entertainment Company. With our current financial resources, there is no problem."

Others: "…"

But then again, the most influential e-sports projects in the current e-sports project are probably the two RTS game masterpieces under Blizzard Entertainment, "Starcraft" and "Warcraft", followed by "Half-Life" under VS, which is commonly known as the CSS game.

"Not to say, I have ever thought of buying Blizzard." Luo Sheng spread his hands on both sides of the sofa, with his legs raised, and he sat in a comfortable position. He immediately added: "It's just that Blizzard is not an independent company. We cannot accurately know its revenue and expenditure status and stock market value, so we cannot judge how much profit it can bring. Only Vivendi knows best. It should have made a lot of money. If it weren't for the money tree, Vivendi Group's urinary nature might have sold Blizzard long ago."
