CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

It’s noon this day.

Zhuang Botao, CEO of Aurogon, reported to Lu Yiming on the revenue of Aurogon's supercomputing center for the past month.

The Aurogon Supercomputing Center has been officially operating for over a month.

With Xingcheng as the core.

Non-commercial scientific research projects throughout Phu Nam province.

Any application that requires supercomputing can be allocated a certain amount of free computing power.

Although it's free.

However, this is sufficient to meet the needs of 80% of scientific research projects.

Commercial research projects naturally require payment.

It also received strong support from relevant organizations.

The Aurogon Supercomputing Center handles over 20,000 tasks daily.

The company's revenue reached 1.2 billion yuan in the first month.

However, this excludes electricity costs and other related daily maintenance expenses and depreciation.

In reality, it resulted in a loss of 200 million.

They lost 200 million yuan in one month.

They lost more than 2 billion yuan in just one year.

Generally speaking, reporting this kind of news to the president would make the CEO feel quite heavy-hearted.

But Zhuang Botao was very excited when he gave his report.

The reason is that the original expectation was to lose at least 500 million, but now it has only lost 200 million, so it has actually made a profit of 300 million.

How could we let Zhuang Botao not be happy?
"President Lu! The daily computing power of the Aurogon II is currently exceeding 60%! It is expected to reach 75% this month! This has already exceeded the targets set above. In addition, the Aurogon II is scheduled to be officially announced in late July. We would appreciate it if President Lu could attend the press conference!"

The computing power of the Zhulong II machine is 700P.

In fact, in the current field of scientific research, 700P of computing power can already solve 99% of the problems.

The load was originally expected to reach 30% in the first month, which would have been considered good.

However, the pricing is quite reasonable.

People from surrounding provinces and cities used to choose to go to the capital or Shanghai.

But now there is a new option: the Aurogon supercomputer.

This is why the number of orders received by the Aurogon Supercomputing Center has been steadily increasing.

Hearing this, Lu Yiming nodded.

He then asked, "Regarding the second-generation machine, how many petabytes of computing power are you planning to release this time?"

In fact.

Zhulong did not have a true second-generation machine.

The first released Zhulong No. 1 unit and the currently used No. 2 unit are both just stripped-down versions.

The complete version of Zhulong.

The computing power can reach 1100P.

This has already reached the threshold of quantum computing.

What Lu Yiming meant by that was...

The computing power of the newly released Aurogon 2nd generation machine does not exceed 1000P.

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Botao laughed and said, "Let's tentatively set it at 850! After all, we need to create a misconception for the West."

Hear this.

Lu Yiming's lips twitched.

This is exactly the result he expected.

The United States is currently building a supercomputer with a computing power of 800 petaflops.

It was also because of this news.

This caused fluctuations in the stock price of Aurogon.

He also took the opportunity to release information about the second-generation fighter jet in the live broadcast to counter this wave of negative news.

However, regarding the specific parameters of the second-generation fighter jet...

He didn't reveal anything.

Some people speculate that it is 750P.

This is also the most likely figure currently recognized by public intellectuals and media both domestically and internationally.

When the Aurogon-1 was first released, it had a computing power of 600 petabytes.

The fact that the No. 2 unit was considered a second-generation fighter jet when it was released at the time.

The proof is in common knowledge.

An increase of 100 computing power is considered a generational leap.

The claim that the second-generation Aurogon processor has a 150P increase in computing power compared to the original is considered a "second generation."

This makes it exceptionally reasonable under such a common perception.

At this moment, Lu Yiming said with a playful expression, "You guys are really bad!"

Zhuang Botao did not respond to this.

But the smile on his face said it all.

hang up the phone.

Lu Yiming seemed to have thought of something happy.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.

The supercomputer that the United States is currently building.

The computing power will reach 800P.

Meanwhile, it was completed in mid-August.

The second-generation Aurogon phone was released at the end of July.

Lu Yiming could only say, "Well done!"

Supercomputing is not simply about stacking chips to infinitely increase computing power.

Aurogon's market value could rise to 500 billion.

A major reason is that 700P is already an astonishing and groundbreaking technology at present.

The reason why the West isn't envious of this is...

The main reason is that they already had a plan to secretly develop an 800P supercomputer.

It's just that now we're being forced by Zhulong to make its debut sooner and accelerate its birth.

Lu Yiming currently only owns 35% of Zhulong's shares, and he doesn't feel any regret about reducing his stake in Zhulong.

Quantum reading has continuously improved Lu Yiming's overall quality.

Just as Lu Yiming was deciding to relinquish some of his shares in Aurogon, he finished reading a Western novel using quantum reading.

There was a line in the novel that he deeply agreed with.

That is, "When you have something, the most important thing is to be careful; when you have nothing, the most important thing is to be bold!"

Before Heavenly Favor is upgraded to the maximum level.

Lu Yiming tried his best to be careful about anything that might bring danger to him and his family.

The approach taken towards the Aurogon supercomputer may be somewhat naive.

But this also demonstrates his attitude and stance.

And this was achieved by quickly obtaining the four military industry certifications.

This can also be seen as a response.

This did not completely dispel the anxiety in Lu Yiming's heart, but it was not enough to make him worry about the future.

The entire first half of June.

The CSGO college tournament has become the hottest topic in the gaming world.

In terms of popularity, it surpassed the league's summer season.

This evening.

Lu Yiming's RSS team is about to start their first battle.

Due to the addition of the RSS team.

The number of teams in the regular season of this summer season has increased from seventeen to eighteen.

Say something.

Judging from the configuration of Lu Yiming's team.

Making it to the quarterfinals and into the playoffs seems to be quite promising.

The game that night confirmed this.

The next day, when Lu Yiming went live, his viewers were all excited to share the good news.

Lu Yiming looked at the comments and laughed, "It's just a group stage match! We're still far from it! And they're not even a strong team! Keep working hard!"

That's what it says.

But the upward curve of Lu Yiming's lips betrayed his current mood.

Although the RSS Alliance was just doing it for fun.

But after all, so much money has been invested.

Lu Yiming also hopes to see the team achieve good results.

After all, secondary professions rely on them to achieve results and level up.
The summer season regular season will last for more than two months.

Lu Yiming's bottom line is a top-eight finish.

However, even if they don't make it to the top eight, it won't mean the team has to be disbanded. At most, it will just mean that Lu Yiming will stop paying close attention to the team.

RSS Club has now entered the esports events of both CS:GO and League of Legends.

Lu Yiming has also invested billions of yuan in this (including the club headquarters currently under construction).

But this is not enough.

At this moment, viewers were jokingly commenting in the live chat that Lu Yiming's words were insincere.

Lu Yiming suddenly changed the subject, saying, "Brothers! I'm planning to further increase investment in the RSS club. I don't think just one league and CSGO is enough to make us a top club. I'm planning to create two or three more teams. Do you have any good game recommendations? At least games with international tournaments!"

Many viewers in the live stream reacted with complicated expressions after Lu Yiming said this.

To know.

Regarding his current involvement in the RSS club.

Some content creators have done analysis on this.

The entire alliance department burned at least three small targets.

This includes the auction for LPL tournament qualification and signing bonuses for current players and management.

This is actually considered a small number.

The bulk of the revenue comes from the club headquarters and CS:GO.

The club headquarters reportedly received an investment of 1.8 billion yuan.

Lu Yiming admitted this during the live stream.

As for CSGO.

Even Lu Yiming himself couldn't say how much it would cost.

Anyway, I've spent a lot of money.

But the team hasn't actually been formed yet.
at this time.

Lu Yiming looked at him with an expression that seemed to be earnestly seeking advice.

This prompted some viewers to offer their suggestions in the live chat.

[If you ask me, the entire CF team is basically playing FPS games!]

[Hiss~ You're giving President Lu a terrible idea! AG is so dominant right now! Letting President Lu join CF is just a waste of money!]

How about forming an Overwatch team? It'd probably be in the top three in terms of tournament popularity, and there are international competitions too!

Overwatch is far less popular in China! It even seems less popular than CS:GO right now.

Honestly, I still prefer Dota 2! No tournament is as entertaining as Dota 2! If you're a true bro, come and beat me in Dota 2!

[Upstairs! Dota 2 is indeed a good game! But it's too unfriendly to newbies! I suggest you don't recommend it!]

[PUBG? Oh! Mr. Lu is afraid of PUBG! Never mind what I said!]

Does Hearthstone have no prestige left?

【.】

At first, the viewers were seriously offering suggestions in the live chat.

But soon the tone shifted to a war between different groups of gamers.

Looking at the increasingly strange comments on the screen.

Lu Yiming, with a speechless expression, said, "That's enough! I can tolerate the suggestion for King of Fighters! But what the hell is Three Kingdoms Kill?!"

In fact.

Given Lu Yiming's current influence in the live streaming industry.

After he made those remarks.

Someone will definitely contact him.

For example, after Lu Yiming decided to create an alliance team, his original plan was not to launch the team this year, since the number of participants for this year had already been determined.

They also learned that Lu Yiming intended to join the league.

The alliance took the initiative to contact Lu Yiming.

This indicates that RSS can directly participate in this year's Summer Tournament.

And now Lu Yiming said those words in the live broadcast room.

This is also to encourage more game developers to proactively approach us.

Just as Lu Yiming had predicted.

The topic was only discussed for about ten minutes that evening.
The following day at noon, people began to contact Zheng Huacai.

One p.m.

There's one hour left before Lu Yiming's broadcast starts.

at this time.

Lu Yiming was sitting in front of his computer when he answered a call from Zheng Huacai.

"Mr. Lu! Today, the heads of seven game companies called, saying that as long as you can participate in their e-sports system, they are willing to provide you with all the necessary assistance."

Lu Yiming is the top gamer on the Shark platform.

Its influence extends far beyond the CS:GO community.

It can be said that ever since he made a high-profile exit from the RSS club.

The entire esports community is paying attention.

It's important to know that Lu Yiming is not just a streamer, but also a super-rich tycoon with terrifying wealth.

If it weren't for the fact that the word "capital" isn't a positive term in the context of our country.

Based on the assets that Lu Yiming has currently revealed to own.

That's enough to make him a representative of those two words.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming raised an eyebrow.

This is exactly the situation he wanted to see.

He immediately said, "Okay! In that case, let's get started on what I asked you to prepare!"

The system upgrade requires Lu Yiming's team to achieve results.

In that case, it would definitely be better to have it bloom in multiple locations.

Lu Yiming plans to devote some energy to CSGO as well.

Everything else is handled by the manager.

Lu Yiming then assigned Zheng Huacai a task.

It means finding him a suitable manager.

Zheng Hua nodded upon hearing this.

He then added, "Also, the person in charge of PUBG called! They said that if you, Mr. Lu, can get Diting to cooperate according to the previously agreed revenue sharing, they are willing to give the PUBG department of RSS the maximum possible exposure and support!"

Hear this.

Lu Yiming's lips twitched.

He could imagine the South Korean official saying those words to him in an extremely arrogant tone.

Zheng Huacai looked embarrassed as he said this.

He genuinely didn't know where this person in charge got the courage to say these things to Lu Yiming.

Just like Lu Yiming is bound to form a PUBG team.

The peak of PUBG had over three million players online globally.

But that was just a peak in the past.

It has now dropped to just over 100,000 daily active users.

Even this figure of over 100,000.

Lu Yiming even suspected that the data of disconnecting and logging back in was also included.

This game was so popular that it forced internet cafes in China to upgrade their systems.

It could even be said that the popularity of the tournament has now surpassed that of the game itself.

In this regard.

Lu Yiming said softly, "Block his number! There's no need to contact him anymore!"

The words fell.

Lu Yiming's phone notified him of a new incoming call.

Lu Yiming raised an eyebrow upon seeing the name in the notes.

After greeting Zheng Huacai.

Lu Yiming answered the call.

"Haha~ Mr. Lu! I hope I didn't bother you!"

The caller was Mr. Zhang from the Shark platform.

Since Lu Yiming arranged for Cao Siyun to become the acting chairman of the Shark platform.

Mr. Zhang rarely returns to the Shark platform anymore.

They only come once or twice a month.

After receiving support from Lu Yiming, Yang Chengshun, the acting CEO of Shark Platform, became CEO.

They've completely sided with Lu Yiming, no longer with General Manager Zhang.

This is a very normal phenomenon in business.

Lu Yiming didn't bother to investigate whether Yang Chengshun was truly biased towards him.

Or maybe it's just for show.

Anyway, having shares in hand makes me feel less anxious.

In addition, Cao Siyun has replaced Huang Xin, the vice president, and other key positions such as finance with her own people.

As long as you sit in your seat and do your job well, that's fine.

at this time.

Lu Yiming was very curious about the purpose of Mr. Zhang's call, as he was nominally a board member but actually a shareholder representative of Tencent.

Hearing this, he smiled and said, "The broadcast starts in half an hour! Mr. Zhang, is there something you need to advise me on?"

Hear this.

Mr. Zhang immediately replied with trepidation, "I wouldn't dare to offer any advice! It's about what you said in your live stream last night, Mr. Lu, about wanting to form teams for other games. I wonder if you have any ideas about PUBG?"

The words fell.

Mr. Zhang quickly added, "I meant the game itself!" (End of Chapter)
