Chapter 1857 Morant travels east
After discussing it with Mitchell, Mitchell immediately started implementing Wang Yi's plan.
Just three days later, he reported to Wang Yi: "Boss, this game requires an additional investment of US$200 million in the early stage, and there will be more later."
Wang Yi nodded: "No problem."
Wang Yi is still very reassured about Mitchell's ability to do things. This guy seems to be good at anything except playing basketball.
He specially hired a professional team to conduct demonstration and research on this project, and also hired a professional accountant to conduct an initial budget.
Finally, we came to the conclusion that it would cost 200 million yuan.
Of course, this is just an initial additional investment.
According to expert discussions and analysis, if this game is to be completed, the final production cost may exceed US$3 billion.
This investment is simply terrifying.
You may even be able to single out your favorite star in the game.
This news can be said to be shocking news, considering that Morant is currently one of the top five players in the league.
Staying with the Grizzlies will limit the development of his market value.
There are two real reasons.
It wasn't until a moment later that he said: "This guy..."
At the same time, when Jaylen Green of the Houston Rockets heard the news, he stopped holding the red wine glass in his hand and remained stunned for more than 10 minutes.
This will expand the influence of basketball to the greatest extent, allowing more people to fall in love with and like basketball.
Who doesn’t love games like this?
And Wang Yi has decided that in order for this game to be popular in three years' time, from now on, whenever there is a game, he will spare no effort to show himself on the court.
At his personal press conference after joining, Morant was asked by reporters why he left the Grizzlies to join the Celtics.
If you want to enter the finals, you must first overcome Wang Yi's hurdle. But currently, no one in the league can overcome Wang Yi's hurdle, not even the Big Three Lakers.
However, a small-ball team like the Grizzlies is ultimately not as good as a big-market team like New York, Celtics, and Lakers.
And all of this requires huge amounts of data and work.
In the Eastern Conference, you may still make it to the Finals, but in the Western Conference, you can beat the odds, which is the Western Conference Finals.
If he joins the Celtics, then the Celtics, plus Tatum, will be very competitive.
After doing this, Wang Yi felt at ease again.
The investment of 3 billion US dollars in this king's game is only a preliminary estimate. After all, the development of technology to connect a helmet to consciousness is very difficult and requires a lot of time and manpower.
Of course, if you want to experience the scenery along the way, you can also choose to take a car, boat, airplane, etc., as a means of transportation that is the same as in reality.
Wang Yi now has almost a billion US dollars on hand, so it is not a problem to allocate US$200 million to Mitchell.
The estimated investment of US$3 billion is not much less.
In the Eastern Conference, if you are strong enough, you can at least make it to the finals. If you are lucky, you may even win a championship.
He made the same achievements and the same data, but the commercial value between the two teams is completely different.
Only then will more people be willing to play this game.
As for whether this game will be able to recover its investment in the future, Wang Yi didn't think too much.
However, this was actually not his reason.
Even if this technology is mature, according to Wang Yi's vision, all details of the game must be restored to reality.
Morant responded this way: "I am a fan of the Celtics team and I like the Celtics very much. Now that I have such an opportunity to join, of course I will not give up."
In the past few days, news came from the NBA that Grizzlies head coach Ja Morant did not choose to renew his contract after his contract expired. Instead, he became a free agent and eventually became a free agent.
Joined the Celtics in the East.
It is very friendly for people who want to travel but have no money or time.
Let fans enter the game and feel like they are in the real world.
The Eastern Conference champion changes every year, but the Western Conference champion is the King every year.
The world's largest game investment ever cost only US$500 million.
So he chose to come to the east.
The second point is because this matter is also meaningful for reality, and virtual reality technology will be explored, which is meaningful for many fields of military education and scientific research.
There are three reasons why he made this game. One is because he loves basketball. Currently, except for 2K, which is barely playable, the other basketball games on the market are simply unbearable to watch, so he wanted to make it.
A game that fully respects its players.
He did.
One is that the Grizzlies are a small-market team.
The second point is also the most important point.
This is one of them.
The third point is his three-year agreement with Jordan.
Go to the amusement park with your children, or go back to your hometown with your parents to meet your relatives and friends.
After Morant entered the league, he always tried to dunk on big centers. Firstly, it was because he was young and energetic, and secondly, because this guy was very smart. He knew that this style of play could quickly attract the attention of a large number of fans.
, thus greatly increasing his market value, that is, within that short season, his market value tripled.
This is the reason why he joined the Celtics.
Every day I just go to the park to play with my children, put on a mask and go shopping in the supermarket.
But if everything goes according to Wang Yi's vision, then this game will definitely be very popular as long as it is put into the market. After all, this is almost the only true virtual VR basketball game in the real world.
For example, scan the buildings of every city in the world and restore every scenery.
Every detail of the court must be restored.
Even if you enter the game and don’t play basketball, traveling in the game is a good bet.
You must know that the value of an NBA team is generally between 30 and 7 billion US dollars.
Anyway, you won’t spend a dime on food and accommodation in the game. Moreover, there are fixed teleportation points in the game, so you can just teleport wherever you want.
And in the West, you'll never make it to the Finals.
If this is true, this game will become the game with the largest R&D investment in history.
So whether he can recover the cost is actually not what he cares about most.
This is the real reason why Morant went to the Celtics.
Players can not only relax and entertain through games, but also socialize.
at the same time.
At the same time, at the press conference, Morant felt relieved after announcing his decision.
Although he likes competition, from the time he entered the league until now, he has been oppressed by the same opponent. No matter how good he plays, he always feels that there is a dark cloud hanging over his head, making it impossible for him to see the way forward.
the way.
With such a strong self-esteem, he had always been afraid that he would be called a coward if he left the West, but now reality forced him to pass the psychological test.
After getting over the psychological hurdle, he discovered that all this can be very simple. If you are stuck in a dead end, you can just find another way.
Chapter completed!
