Chapter 698

.

AMD was involved in many problems. If Dream Entertainment wanted to acquire AMD from the stock market, they would have to pay a very high price.

Dream Entertainment currently held 630 million AMD shares, which accounted for 70.00% of the total share capital, which was more than a quarter of the company.

The 630 million shares were divided among six controlling parties. Mu Shuang's anonymous private account held 65 million shares. The rest of the shares were unevenly distributed among the accounts of five offshore companies.

Before midnight on May 0th, AMD's share price had been pushed up to $9.07 by Mu Shuang on the Nasdaq stock market, which was an increase of 677.11%. AMD became the hottest stock on the Nasdaq stock market that day.

Not only that, Mu Shuang also offered a premium purchase order at the last minute. She wanted to buy 05 million shares from the market at $9.11 per share.

This purchase order was destined to fail!

There were not 05 million shares circulating freely on the market. There were about 85 million shares, and the rest were in the hands of fixed investors and AMD's senior management.

Shi Lei's progress in acquiring AMD's shares on the Nasdaq stock market was affecting his nerves. However, there were still five minutes before the Hero's World's Open Beta. Shi Lei needed to go to basement five and deal with any problems that might arise during the Open Beta together with Izur.

"Mu Shuang, I'll go to the computer room first to check on the Hero's World. I'll accompany you later," Shi Lei said to Mu Shuang, who was working on the keyboard.

Mu Shuang replied without raising her head, "Okay, go ahead!"

Shi Lei smiled bitterly. He knew that Mu Shuang was fully focused on the Nasdaq stock market. He guessed that Mu Shuang did not remember what he said. It went in one ear and out the other. She was just replying subconsciously.

After leaving Mu Shuang's office, he took the elevator to basement five. After passing through the security check and entering the bulletproof glass wall, Shi Lei entered the core area of the computer room alone.

Shi Lei sat comfortably on the recliner and looked at the time. It was 78: 03 AM. Dream Entertainment's World of the Hero's World would begin Open Beta in two minutes. Shi Lei was a little excited.

Dream Entertainment's fate, or rather, Shi Lei's fate, would be decided in two minutes. If there were many players participating in the World of the Hero's Open Beta, then Shi Lei could start more plans. Especially when it came to acquiring AMD, Shi Lei could afford a higher purchase price. At the same time, he could start preparing for Charming Island. Shi Lei was envious of the N780 metal, which was very useful to The First Light.

If the popularity of Brave World withered, Dream Entertainment would not need to acquire AMD, and Shi Lei would not need to make so many plans. He could just go home and sleep!

However, would such a situation happen in the Hero's world?

As the unrestricted open beta approached, the number of real-name players registered on Dream Entertainment's official forum increased exponentially. From less than three million, it doubled to ten million.

These players registered on the World of Bravehearts' official player forum and could directly log into the World of Bravehearts. Dream Entertainment used universal accounts. Players could use one account to access all the registration and login services in Dream Entertainment's system.

"Izur, what's the situation with IWN's secret network? Are there any hidden problems with the main server and the city's auxiliary server cluster? "Shi Lei finally asked.

At the same time, in Dream Entertainment's temporary headquarters on the 83th floor, Xie Hui led the World of the Bravehearts' team and closely monitored the various data of the World of the Bravehearts, afraid that any problems would arise.

"Sir, the IWN Secret Network is operating normally. A total of 6872 TFL Ops computing resources have been gathered, and less than 8% of it is currently occupied. The load of the main server is only 5.22%, and the load of the city's auxiliary server cluster is 67%, "Izur reported.

The IWN Secret Network relied on the World of the Bravehearts' existence. As the open beta approached, more and more players downloaded the client and installed it, and the IWN Secret Network gathered more and more resources.

The main server was the origin of Dream Entertainment's supercomputer. Although it only had a speed of 65TFLops, the usage was relatively low. This was because most of the work was transferred to the city's auxiliary server cluster and the IWN Secret Network. This was also the reason why the city's auxiliary server cluster's load had reached 67%. Another reason was that the current players were all high-end players. They used personal game servers to reduce the workload of the main server.

"Izur, closely monitor the information of the main server, the city's auxiliary server cluster, and the IWN Secret Network. Activate the virtual communication system to ensure that the players are in a low-latency state," Shi Lei ordered Izur to activate the new technology of the World of the Bravehearts.

The virtual communication system was a new information exchange method developed by Shi Lei. The data exchanged between the players and the server would be completely converted into special simple codes.

For example, if a player killed a wild wolf in the World of the Bravehearts, under normal circumstances, the player's computer and the server would exchange a lot of data. If the network speed and bandwidth were not up to par, it would cause a network delay.

The virtual communication system would convert the information that needed to be transmitted. The originally large amount of information would be converted into a specific short message that would be received and analyzed by the server before being sent to the client.

In short, the virtual communication system compressed the information exchanged between the client and the server. It could effectively reduce the network delay and provide a better gaming experience for the players.

This service was mainly provided for low-end players. After all, low-end players used non-somatosensory methods. Most of the players' computer and network parameters were not high, so they needed special care.

This was one of the few benefits that Dream Entertainment provided for low-end players. Many low-end players were touched.

"Sir, the global open beta of the World of the Bravehearts is in ten seconds. Ten, nine, eight … three, two, one, zero, activate!" After Izur finished the countdown, some key data about the World of the Bravehearts were displayed on the display wall in the core area of the computer room. For example, the number of online players, server load, player distribution, player gender ratio, player territory, and so on.

Dream Entertainment originally had a total of 6,887,387 players. Almost every one of these 6.8 million players was an active player.

May 0th, 56: 55. The World of the Bravehearts' global open beta had only been open for a minute, but the number of online players in the World of the Bravehearts exceeded three million!

Originally, the number of online players in the World of the Bravehearts was less than one million. After all, the World of the Bravehearts was a global server. The world's time was not synchronized. It was already very impressive that there were still more than nine hundred thousand online players at midnight.

For an ordinary online game, having fifty thousand online players was already the rhythm of making a lot of money. One could only imagine how popular the World of the Bravehearts was.

Even at the peak of Transgression's glory, it barely reached four million players online at the same time. Even the godly game LOL reached five million players online at the same time. It was known as the world's number one!

In the first minute of the World of the Bravehearts' global open beta, three million players were online at the same time. Moreover, this number was still rapidly increasing.

At 50: 55, the number of online players in the World of the Bravehearts had exceeded four million. It instantly surpassed the miracle created by Transgression and became a true miracle.

Although there were four million players online at the same time, Shi Lei's expression was rather calm. This was only the situation at the beginning of the World of the Bravehearts' release. The exact number of online players in the World of the Bravehearts depended on how close the World of the Bravehearts was to the players and whether it would retain them.

At 85: 55, the number of online players in the World of the Bravehearts had reached five million. More than seventy percent of them were overseas players. This made Shi Lei feel quite surprised.

"Izur, announce this news on the official website. Also, announce the specific data. Let the world know what kind of great miracle our Dream Entertainment has created!" Shi Lei said with a smile.

Shi Lei had his own plans for announcing the news. This was a plan that Shi Lei came up with on the spot after Mu Shuang gave Shi Lei some knowledge about listed companies and stocks.

Under normal circumstances, if a listed company had good news, its stock price would increase greatly. Although Dream Entertainment was not a listed company, it was currently negotiating with two listed companies.

Dream Entertainment had five million online users. Whether it was AMD or Intel, they were both listed companies on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. Once they reached a cooperation agreement with Dream Entertainment, it would be good news for them and would greatly increase their company's stock price.

Shi Lei thought of this after studying the stock market for some time. He ordered Izur to post the news on the official website to let some people know.

On the 0th of May, at 67: 85 a.m., the original silver and blue layout of the Dream Entertainment's official website turned into a festive red.

A huge announcement was posted on the official website's homepage. All website visitors were notified in large and bold font.

…

[The World of the Bravehearts' open beta begins. A miracle is born!]

On the 0th of May, at 67: 55 a.m., the World of the Bravehearts officially opened.

At 6: 56 a.m., the number of online players in the World of the Bravehearts exceeded three million. It became the online game with the highest number of online players.

At 0: 55 a.m., the number of online players in the World of the Bravehearts exceeded four million. It exceeded Dream Entertainment's expectations, and a large number of players continued to flood in.

At 85: 55 a.m., the number of online players in the World of the Bravehearts exceeded five million. It became the online game with the highest number of online players and players. It opened a new chapter in online entertainment.

Dream Entertainment announced that the entire world was celebrating the miracle created by the World of the Bravehearts. All online players would receive sixty-six coins as a reward. Thank you to all the players who supported the World of the Bravehearts. We wish you a happy game!
