CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 333 will premiere after the New Year (transitional chapter, can be skipped).
The Spring Festival Gala is meaningless.

However, Lu Yiming was featured on camera multiple times, and while a host of celebrities were trending on social media, he, as a non-celebrity, topped the list of trending topics that night with a score more than double that of the second most popular topic.

It can only be said that netizens are quite accommodating.

Winters in the capital are actually not so bad.

At least wearing enough clothes will keep you warm.

of course.

Maybe it'll be colder as spring approaches.

In winter in the south, simply wearing clothes is not enough to keep you warm.

Here we must mention a great invention that can be compared to air conditioning.

That's a hand warmer.

After learning about the performance of solid-state batteries, Lu Yiming wondered if he could create a garment that could be heated, like an electric blanket that could be draped over the body to provide warmth at any time.

After informing Liu Zhenyun of his idea.

Liu Zhenyun agreed to help Lu Yiming realize this idea, but unfortunately he missed the exhibition. However, he managed to get it on his way to the capital.

this day.

Lu Yiming called Liu Zhenyun.

"The clothes look great! Give me several thousand sets as gifts, and also arrange for the winter uniforms for the employees of the Starry Sky Group!"

Hear this.

Liu Zhenyun's expression showed a hint of embarrassment.

Lu Yiming had asked about the cost before, and he said it wasn't expensive.

But it's only not expensive for Lu Yiming.

The clothes are custom-made directly from large OEM factories. While high volume can reduce costs, the core technology uses solid-state batteries.

Although the amount used is not large.

However, they were all handcrafted by the Pangu team from the laboratory.

Only six sets were custom-made according to the sizes provided by Lu Yiming.

There were no plans for mass production to begin with, and if the cost of the technicians is taken into account, the price of a set of clothes would definitely exceed ten thousand yuan.

wrong.

Its value is incalculable.

After all, every technician at Pangu Group is a top performer in the industry, and there are very few positions with a monthly salary of less than six figures.

It can be said that Pangu Company has the highest salary expenditure in the entire Fanxing Group.

soon.

After learning that mass production required further planning, Lu Yiming...

He immediately indicated that he was not in a hurry.

Anyway, it's already spring, so as long as it can be used by winter, that's fine. Then I asked about Liu Zhenyun's previous leave to go on a blind date.

Liu Zhenyun was vague about this issue.

Lu Yiming immediately asked suspiciously, "No way~ There's a girl you can't win over right now, Mr. Liu? Don't tell me it's the bride price! Let alone 388,000, even 3,880,000 wouldn't be a problem for you, right?"

Liu Zhenyun's net worth has long exceeded 100 million yuan.

Upon hearing this, he quickly said that it wasn't the problem.

Lu Yiming wasn't a gossipy person, and Liu Zhenyun was clearly embarrassed to talk about it, so Lu Yiming only touched on such private matters.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Yiming and his family began their journey from the capital back to Sanya.

Lu Yiming disappeared from the internet throughout the entire Chinese New Year period.

However, just because he is online doesn't mean that no one is talking about him online. Although the exhibition has ended, the Spring Festival Gala was too bland, causing the exhibition's aftereffects to continue.

This includes the exhibition's major partner companies.

According to statistics.

Since its inception, excluding A-share listed companies (which were closed for the Chinese New Year holiday), all companies listed on other stock markets have seen their market capitalization increase by more than 80% in a short period of time.

The most extreme example is Mijia.

Hong Kong stocks also had a five-day holiday for the Lunar New Year, but even with these five days off, Xiaomi's stock achieved a three-year jump in market value, rising from over ten dollars to over thirty dollars.

In fact, the stock value had already doubled during the few days of the exhibition.

At this point, the stock price was trending towards 40, which drove many investors crazy. Here, we have to mention Lu Yiming again.

Since its launch, the Aurogon supercomputer has been...

The market capitalization has remained stable, fluctuating around 700 billion.

Hong Kong stock market investors also call it the "stabilizing force" of the Hong Kong stock market.

At this time, rumors circulated that Fanxing Intelligent Manufacturing had plans to go public, which caused fluctuations throughout the Science and Technology Innovation Board. It can be said that domestic stock investors were all waiting for the day when Fanxing Intelligent Manufacturing would be listed.

Lu Yiming's status was unknowingly elevated to a very high level.

But he had no idea.

of course.

I know he won't care anyway.

Lu Yiming's absence from the internet doesn't mean he's not online; he's still playing games.

therefore.

His viewers occasionally manage to catch him in other people's live streams.

For example, in the RSSCSGO group's live stream room, Lu Yiming could often be seen occasionally appearing in the queue when they were playing ranked matches.

This is Lu Yiming's current platform.

Lu Yiming had already begun to expand into overseas markets, but due to repeated setbacks for the Diting software overseas, he simply decided to abandon the overseas expansion plan.

Previously, domestic players preferred to play on foreign platforms, enduring high latency simply in hopes of a fair gaming environment. However, FPS games, especially those that don't rely on quantifiable weapons, are destined to be unable to completely solve the cheating problem.

Only the Perfect Starry Sky platform possesses the Diting anti-cheating feature, achieving a completely green platform status. After achieving this status in China, cheat development teams have no choice but to target overseas game platforms.

Hardware add-ons are generally not detected.

It can only be blocked manually. If you open it and then go to play official casual games or other unregulated games, it might never be blocked.

Even scanning the disk couldn't find it, so in the end, we still had to rely on manual verification and blocking.

People who buy these kinds of cheats spend thousands of dollars to enjoy themselves, and they certainly don't lack the money to buy or rent accounts, since these cheat and account rental software programs are not much different.

In high-level games on foreign servers, it has become like Werewolf, where you never know how many werewolves you'll be matched with, or even if you are a werewolf yourself, you can still be killed by them.

therefore.

High-level matches on foreign servers have even degenerated into the kind of real-name matchmaking circles that existed in the CS 1.6 era.

The advantage is that within the circle, anyone who uses cheat codes can become famous instantly.

Therefore, casual players who try to play this game are most likely to encounter the werewolf.

This led to a loss of overseas CS:GO players.

According to Valve's statistics up to January 2021, after dividing global players into Chinese players and overseas players, it was found that there were significantly fewer high-frequency gamers overseas than in China.

Moreover, if you look back at this data, you'll find that there has always been a trend.

These overseas players haven't completely given up; some have embraced the Perfect World Star platform. The overseas version of the Perfect World Star platform is currently unavailable; you can download and register, but you can't play. However, this particular account miraculously became able to log in to the Chinese server of the Perfect World Star platform normally after the overseas version was officially announced to be offline.

With the increasing number of overseas players in the Chinese server.

Gradually, players also discovered this problem.

After all, necessary communication is still needed in games, especially for those who want to rank up in mid-to-high-level matches. On this day, a video titled "My teammates are communicating, but I can't understand them!" became a trending topic on Bilibili.

The question of how many overseas players actually play on the Chinese server quickly became a trending topic.

This day was the sixth day of the lunar month.

Lu Yiming was caught again by his fans while playing a five-player match with RSSCSGO.

In the five-person team of RSSCSGO, Liu Guangzhi, who was drawn with a short draw, is currently playing solo queue, while the other four are helping their boss rank up.

of course.

While they claimed to be helping their boss rank up, it was actually more about them learning from Lu Yiming. This feeling made them feel inexplicably uncomfortable, since they were all known as prodigies. How could their boss, a player whose career was more for entertainment than professional, actually teach them anything?

This made them feel ashamed.

at this time.

As the team leader, Zhou Weimin saw that the comments were all asking questions to Lu Yiming.

He was already used to this, so he immediately turned on his microphone and said, "Mr. Lu! There are a lot of questions from viewers in the live stream. Would you like to respond to them?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming did not immediately turn on his microphone.

Instead, he took out his phone and glanced at the current barrage of comments.

He then spoke up, saying, "Brothers! Just ask the platform's customer service about this! I don't know the situation either! But I remember it broke 100,000 last year, right?"

This data caused everyone in the live stream to gasp in shock.

However, the data that Lu Yiming gave actually differed from their understanding.

The viewers thought it meant that there were already 100,000 overseas players playing on the Chinese server last year, but Lu Yiming actually meant that the number of active players had exceeded 100,000.

The number of active players in China has just exceeded two million, but this has only lasted for one quarter. Since then, it has remained at around 1.5 million. The actual number of players has long exceeded five million and is approaching the ten million mark.

Therefore, we will calculate based on this data.

The number of overseas players was at least three or four hundred thousand before the Lunar New Year.

Lu Yiming was friendly to domestic players, but he didn't give any instructions to overseas players. Therefore, considering the company's revenue, Jiang Yuanming included these overseas players in the blood pool.

An overseas player wants to play games normally on the Perfect Star platform.

A yearly membership is a must, as only those who purchase this membership can use the customized accelerator. The price is the same as that for domestic players, but since they earn and spend US dollars, they naturally have to pay in US dollars as well.

therefore.

The high barrier to entry is a major reason why overseas players are largely excluded from the Perfect Star platform.

But given such a high barrier to entry, having over 100,000 active users is, in a sense, a miracle.

This prompted Valve to internally discuss whether or not to try introducing the "Di Ting" (a powerful, powerful device).

However, since the software "Diting" has been included in the crackdown list, they had to abandon the idea.

However, this news was not disseminated domestically.

Overseas players have always thought it was a bug and dared not point it out.

After learning about Jiang Yuanming's actions, Lu Yiming didn't say anything, but simply told him to donate all of that income and even arranged for him to directly convert the payment code into a donation channel for a charity.

After Lu Yiming responded to the question.

The next day when the stock market opened, Perfect Group's stock rose significantly. This was mainly because there was nowhere else for the positive news to go but for Perfect Group, a partner company. Lu Zhen was overjoyed when he heard the news.

He was among the first to join the Starry Sky Group, and although he didn't reap the biggest profits, he still received substantial returns with many unexpected benefits.

On the seventh day of the lunar new year.

The live broadcast time that Lu Yiming had promised finally arrived.

He started his live stream at 2 PM.

The number of online viewers exceeded one million before the broadcast even started.

He's the only one who can manage to split the traffic between more than ten individual streamers in a live stream.

The moment the broadcast started.

Even with the comment mode enabled, the comments are still hard to read.

Lu Yiming laughed and said, "Alright! Enough with the chit-chat! Let's start with some perks! Happy New Year, brothers!"

The gift function is no longer enabled in live streams with millions of viewers.

Even a free gift.

That would be enough to destroy this crumbling live stream.

Currently, there are dozens of technicians staying in the live broadcast room.

If Lu Yiming's live stream had any problems, they would all be reprimanded. However, since Lu Yiming became a shareholder, he has improved employee benefits many times, so they have no complaints.

The broadcast started with three waves of red envelope giveaways.

Compared to cash red envelopes, Lu Yiming's fans were no longer satisfied. At this moment, the barrage was filled with requests for free phones and power banks. Upon seeing this, Lu Yiming could only shrug and say, "There's really no way to give that away! Production is currently running at almost three shifts! The factory is operating at full capacity to meet order demands, and the longest-pending order won't be delivered until the end of the year."

Hear this.

The comments section was filled with groans and lamentations.

Many suggested that Lu Yiming increase production.

In this regard.

Lu Yiming shook his head again and said, "Solid-state battery production can be increased, but the core raw materials cannot be solved simply by expanding production capacity. It involves a raw material issue. The same goes for chips. The high-precision equipment involved in lithography machines requires the concerted efforts of many semiconductor companies across the country. There are as many as a hundred companies involved. Therefore, the production capacity can only be increased by about 15% per month at present, and it is impossible to exceed this growth rate!"

Lu Yiming's words contained a great deal of information.

This led many viewers to exclaim that Lu Yiming was truly outspoken.

There's really nothing that can't be said.

He's not a fool who blurts out everything, although Cao Siyun might have a different opinion.
After all, it's the first day of the new year's broadcast.

Lu Yiming needs to come up with something fancy.

Looking at the camera, he smiled and said, "Let's do something different today! Bao Ge came to my house before and asked him if he had any dreams. Judging from his embarrassed look, he's probably already forgotten his dreams. I borrowed Bao Ge's account this time. What kind of exciting tricks do you think we should do for him?"

Done.

Lu Yiming logged into the game.

Bao Ge has been playing CS:GO for about half a year now.

Let's not even talk about their skill level.

But there is definitely some inventory.

Upon entering the account, the first thing you see is a hundred new items.

Upon seeing that the item was a castle chest, the viewers in the live stream immediately went wild.

Currently, a single castle chest is worth over 15,000.

Even the cheapest brand-new commemorative Dragon Lore Axe costs a staggering five million.

However, according to statistics...

Brother Bao has opened at least four hundred cases of this account. The price of the castle has risen from just over ten thousand before the Lunar New Year to fifteen thousand now, largely thanks to Brother Bao.
