With the inaugural WCG World Cyber ​​Games approaching, a global gaming frenzy has swept the world.

Both registered contestants and ordinary players who hadn't registered flocked to the arcade.

At this time, all the games in the WCG were incredibly popular. Often, while people were still playing, a whole bunch of people would be standing behind them, waiting and watching. The arcade was practically overflowing with people.

Riding the wave of WCG, Wujiang Arcade saw a surge in sales.

By December 12th, Wujiang Group had sold a total of 1.25 million arcade machines and 7.5 million game cartridges, generating revenue of $8.625 billion, creating an unprecedented miracle in the global arcade market.

Wujiang Group, after years of accumulation, has achieved profits exceeding US$4.5 billion!

Wujiang Group was originally a dominant force in the game console industry, possessing a large number of games suitable for porting to arcades.

Furthermore, many third-party games on the "Qiongqi Game Machine" and Game Boy platforms are also suitable for porting to arcades.

This is why Wujiang Group has created a tremendous miracle, a miracle that is virtually impossible to replicate.

...

"Wow, God, the arcade is packed with people, business is booming!" Jason Wolf exclaimed.

Although the arcade was somewhat chaotic, with people smoking and shouting, creating a terrible environment, Jason Wolf didn't care at all, his eyes scanning the scene before him with excitement.

“Right, Jason Wolfe? If we opened an arcade, we’d make a fortune!” his companion George Stevenson laughed.

“Yes, you’re right, we should go all out now! We can open arcades all over Michigan together!” Jason Wolfe nodded emphatically, excitedly.

With the arcade business booming, naturally more people are getting involved in the industry.

Unlimited arcade games naturally became the first choice for these people.

Furthermore, many supermarkets, cinemas, and shopping malls have also purchased Wujiang arcade machines to attract customers. These places don't primarily focus on games, so they don't have much space to place arcade machines. A limited selection of games means less foot traffic, and Wujiang's multi-slot arcade machines perfectly address this issue.

Although there are only a few arcade machines, there are a wide variety of games to play. As long as you come, you can find a game you like.

In this way, not only can it attract a large number of people, but it can also make money through arcade games.

Therefore, it would be difficult for Wujiang Arcade not to sell well...

At this moment, it's hard for industry insiders to imagine that the arcade industry has been transformed into a large platform by Wujiang Group. Previously, the arcade industry was basically fragmented, lacking a unified industry standard.

Nowadays, any company that wants to release arcade games doesn't need to develop its own arcade machines; they can simply choose the Wujiang Arcade Platform.

...

WCG is incredibly popular among gamers, given the substantial prize money, with the first prize being $500,000!

To attract more players, WCG has increased the rewards.

At that time, $500,000 was a very high value, and it caused a sensation in many media outlets and television stations.

Recently, several television stations around the world have expressed interest in partnering with Wujiang Group to broadcast the event.

Zhao Ye, in order to promote the WCG event, decided that the first WCG would be broadcast free of charge, and any TV station that wanted to broadcast it could do so at will.

Shanghai.

To welcome players, gamers, and media reporters from all over the world.

Wujiang Group had discussed cooperation with the Shanghai government a long time ago and invested in purchasing the Dongfeng Hotel. After renovation, the event will be held here.

The Dongfeng Hotel, formerly known as the Shanghai Club, or the British Club and Royal Club, is located at No. 2, Zhongshan East Road, Shanghai. Built in 1912, it was designed by Tarrant and Maurice, with interior design by the Japanese maverick architect Kikutaro Shimoda. A Baroque Neoclassical work, it features a double colonnade and a grand hall with high chandeliers, serving as a stage for Shanghai's socialites.

The original Dongfeng Hotel was somewhat old and dilapidated. Wujiang Group spent a lot of money to renovate it and then bought some high-end furniture for decoration, which made it look very upscale.

The WCG is a major international event, and the Shanghai government also wants to showcase the city's charm. In recent months, it has been undertaking large-scale infrastructure construction to make Shanghai cleaner and more beautiful.

The financial foundation supporting the Shanghai government's large-scale infrastructure projects comes from the tax revenue of the Wujiang Group.

Although the government reduced taxes for Wujiang Group, the group's tax burden was too high. Even if the tax was halved, it would still be an astronomical figure.

Last year alone, Wujiang Group paid more than 5 billion yuan in taxes.

This year, the tax payments exceeded 8 billion RMB.

The Shanghai government practically worships Wujiang Group like a god of wealth.

Zhao Ye and his entourage are currently inspecting the effects of the renovations at the Dongfeng Hotel.

"This Dongfeng Hotel truly lives up to its former status as the Royal Club; it has a great ambiance!" Zhao Ye praised. In his previous life, when he came here, the Dongfeng Hotel had already been transformed into the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, the most luxurious hotel on the Bund in Shanghai.

The accompanying personnel also expressed their agreement one by one.

"Holding the WCG at the Dongfeng Hotel is luxurious and grand, showcasing the prosperity of Shanghai! The Bund's scenery is captivating, sure to make international tourists linger!" an official said with a smile.

Zhao Ye nodded in agreement.

However, the venue was too small, and only invited guests could enter. Fortunately, the first WCG wouldn't be too large.

However, in the future, we still need to find a large venue to host WCG, organize some cosplay events, and make WCG the largest and most exciting event in the global gaming industry, or even a carnival!
