Chapter 4520: **Just Big Enough

The 7th 'Second World Carnival' officially opened bidding to the world! When 'Second World' announced this news on its official website, the whole world was a little confused.

What time is it now? Lin Feng is facing Monsanto's accusation. If it is confirmed that Lin Feng is maliciously boycotting genetically modified foods for his own selfish reasons, then Lin Feng may face heavy penalties from governments around the world. This sounds a bit unfair. Lin Feng is just doing business, how could he be punished so heavily? Is this fair?

In fact, the explanation is very simple. When the wall falls, everyone pushes it! In this world, there are few people who help people in need. There are many people who beat the dogs when they are down! If Lin Feng really has to suffer, then there will definitely be many people who stir up trouble. After all, Lin Feng has too much 'fat meat' on his body. It would be a big deal if he just took a bite.

In this case, Lin Feng put his attention on the 'Second World Carnival'. This is a bit of putting the cart before the horse! At this time, everyone couldn't understand. Monsanto was dumbfounded. They didn't know whether to say that Lin Feng was stupid or that he was too confident!

But regardless of whether Monsanto was dumbfounded or not, global players were excited. Especially for Western players, it was particularly exciting. The previous six "Second World Carnivals" were all held in Shanghai, China. Although there were also many Western players who came to Shanghai to participate in this event. But for most Western players, they had no chance to go. After all, China is too far away, Shanghai is too far away, and the language is not fluent, and the "Second World Carnival" event was only held for three days. For three days, it is a bit difficult for most players to put down everything and go to Shanghai. What's more, going to China requires applying for a passport, which is even more troublesome.

However, if it is held in a Western country, the meaning will be different. First of all, they go to any Western country, it is a trip that they can go on at any time. If they want to go, they can go with a passport. Moreover, in terms of language, there is basically no problem. English can travel all over the world.

This made global players excited all of a sudden. It's just that they are excited, but local governments in various countries remain indifferent. The reason is very simple. This is not the Olympics. A game company held a carnival for players. It is a bit exaggerated for local governments to bid for it! Even if the Second World is the best game company in the world, it is not so attractive to local governments!

As local governments watched coldly, the official website of the Second World immediately announced the relevant data of the past six Second World Carnivals.

The first one was held on Laba Festival in 2002. As the first carnival event, it lasted for 1 and a half days and was held on the weekend. The number of people present exceeded 1.5 million. It brought 1.8 billion yuan in catering, entertainment, accommodation and other related consumption to the Shanghai government.

Seeing this number, local governments of various countries were indifferent. 1.8 billion yuan, converted into US dollars, is only 230 million US dollars today. This number is not enough to make local governments of various countries excited. After all,

if it is really held, the relevant investment is not small. According to the requirements for holding the "Second World Carnival" announced by the "Second World", the local government must build a modern animation and game exhibition hall within the remaining six months, which can accommodate at least 100,000 seats and must be an indoor venue. The investment in this venue will not be less than 150 million US dollars.

This sounds a bit too expensive. Too extravagant, but Lin Feng's requirements are high-tech, modern indoor venues, whether it is sound, lighting, and seats, they must be of the highest specifications. And there must be at least six large electronic screens. This is calculated, 150 million US dollars is the most conservative estimate. It is possible that 200 million US dollars or even more is possible. After all, it is August now, and the seventh "Second World Carnival" next year will start on January 15th. This time is too tight, and the construction period is accelerated, and the wages are much higher.

If a venue costs 200 million US dollars, and other expenses are included, such as the layout of the whole city, and inviting some guests, etc., the cost will not be less than 250 million US dollars! And you only bring a total of 230 million US dollars in revenue to the local city. This is a huge loss. You know, this is all the income, not the tax. As for the tax, it varies from 7% to 15% depending on the local governments of Western countries. This is between 16.1 million US dollars and 34.5 million US dollars. This is a huge loss.

The second session was held on Laba Festival in 2003. The duration was extended to two days. The number of people present exceeded 2.5 million, bringing about 3.5 billion RMB in revenue to the Shanghai government.

Seeing this number, local governments in various countries were slightly surprised. 3.5 billion RMB, that's 448 million US dollars. This tax is at least 31.36 million US dollars!

The third session was held on Laba Festival in 2004. Starting from this session, the duration of the "Second World Carnival" continued to be extended to three days. The number of people present exceeded 5 million. It brought more than 7.5 billion RMB in revenue to the Shanghai government.

Gosh! This is 7.5 billion RMB, which is 961 million US dollars, which is close to 1 billion US dollars in revenue. The minimum tax revenue is 67.27 million US dollars. Seeing this data, local governments in various countries began to think. Although it will lose money to hold a "Second World Carnival", the most important loss comes from building a most modern animation and game exhibition hall proposed by Lin Feng. And this game exhibition hall can not only serve as the main venue for the "Second World Carnival", but also various concert halls, concerts, and even various indoor sports events.

If you count it this way, then the local governments will not lose money. After all, this venue can continue to bring high returns. In the long run, the money for building the hall can be earned back. And holding such an event, the local governments can make a profit. And it can bring more than 1 billion US dollars in revenue to the local area, and more than 5 million tourists. This is very exciting.

Of course, this is only China's data. China has a large population. Can there be so many people in other countries?

The fourth session was held on Laba Festival in 2005. The event time was still maintained at three days, but the number of visitors exceeded 6 million, bringing more than 10 billion yuan in revenue to the Shanghai government. The subsequent sessions were basically the same as the fourth session. The number of tourists who came to each session exceeded 6 million, and the revenue from various aspects exceeded 10 billion yuan.

Seeing this data, local governments of various countries are really tempted. In this way, they make money. Real money. Of course, the only concern is how many players will come at that time? Of course, small cities may not be able to do it. But big cities should have enough attraction.

At this time, the official "Second World" announced the seventh session of the event process. This time, the carnival event time will be extended again, directly extended to 7 days, a week. This week will be a grand event for global players. At that time, Lin Feng will be there in person, and Lin Feng will invite a guest performance team composed of the ten most popular global stars last year to perform for the players. On the last day, free beer will be provided, and all players will have a game night drinking event!

At the same time, Lin Feng will draw 10,000 lucky players from around the world and give them free round-trip tickets to the host country to participate in this event and spend this annual game player event.

After the announcement of these two news, global players have been boiling to the top. This time, not only is the event longer, reaching seven days, but on the last day, Lin Feng will provide free beer and players with free drinks, and will also draw 10,000 lucky players from around the world, and Lin Feng will provide round-trip tickets. Is there anything more than this?

For players, there is no more! They must participate in such an event. As long as they have the ability to go, they must go. Although such an event is held every year. But what if you encounter an accident in the next year? What if you have an accident? What should I do? That will be a lifelong regret.

The heroes are excited! On the Internet, there was a chorus of howling. At this moment, the food crisis and genetically modified organisms were all forgotten. The entire Internet was turned upside down by this carnival. And local governments of various countries could no longer sit still after witnessing such excitement. If there is money to be made and the city brand can be promoted, then why not hold it? As for the first time of the "Second World Carnival", what does it matter!

The important thing is that it is profitable!

"Look, whether it is people or governments, as long as it is profitable, they will move at the first sign of it!" Lin Feng said with a smile, "So, Hui Lisa, prepare to select the qualifications of these local governments of various countries. Then, let the players vote in the election. We have seen the Olympic Committee voting on TV every time, and this time it is the turn of us ordinary players. Let everyone have the power of life and death!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

Fengjian Hui Lisa nodded. She believed that if this news was announced to the public, the players would be excited. So, is this a deliberate means thrown by the boss to divert global attention?

"Haha, half yes and half no. My goal is to make Second World the best company in the world and to have our members spread across every corner of the globe." Lin Feng said with a hint of pride, "As for this side, wait and see!"
