Time always flies by quickly without notice, and before I knew it, two months had passed.
These two months were a time of great harvest for Noah Company and for Li Yue.
In terms of virtual reality devices, they were rolled out globally. Although the price was high, it couldn't stop people's enthusiasm; some even bought several helmets or virtual pods at once.
There were too many wealthy people. Even if a few complained about the high price, it was futile. After all, this was a groundbreaking product, just like when Apple launched the smartphone.
In just two months, the total global sales of virtual reality devices reached nearly 100 million units. Not to mention the sales revenue, the profit alone allowed Noah Group to earn hundreds of billions of dollars in a short period.
This was just from product sales; the real bulk of the profit came from the virtual games within the virtual platform.
The game "Myth" was free to register, but there was a store within the game with many cool outfits, and these all cost money.
Equipment, fashion, items, mounts, gold coin top-ups...
There were simply too many places in the game where money was needed. Although you could still play without spending money, the enjoyment would definitely be significantly less. Others were playing hidden professions or hidden races, while you were just an ordinary white-board character, which was embarrassing to even be seen outside.
And isn't the point of playing games to have fun? Are you really expecting to 'become immortal' by playing games?
All the media outlets exclaimed, 'The wolf is coming!'
Although everyone understood that companies like Noah Group would inevitably rise and become a new generation of tech giants with the release of virtual products.
However, they didn't expect it to be so fast. In just two months, it completely overturned their understanding.
And on the market, the few shares of Noah Group that were available had already been speculated to a sky-high price, but no one was selling.
Everyone understood that this was just the beginning.
Today, Noah Company's market value alone has reached hundreds of billions. Many experts predict that in a year, Noah Group's market value will double, or even more.
It will become the leader in the virtual industry, a global behemoth.
Noah Company's stock is a golden egg; holding onto it will only increase in value, not decrease.
However, because there were so few circulating shares on the market, many shareholders called for Noah Group to issue more stock.
Of course, Li Yue wouldn't pay any attention to these people.
His current shares allow him to control the company. If more shares were circulated on the market, his shares would be diluted, which was not the result he wanted to see.
...
At this moment, Li Yue himself was also very busy, with quite a few matters that required his personal attention at the company.
Although Lawrence was the CEO, everyone understood that the one who could truly determine Noah Company's development was Li Yue.
Lawrence could handle many things personally, but some major projects and ventures had to be reported directly to Li Yue, and only after Li Yue personally made the decision could they be implemented.
Especially in these two months, he was extremely busy, handling countless documents every day. Li Yue often worked late into the night before resting.
Fortunately, his mental strength was strong and his body was in good shape, otherwise, he would have been exhausted after a few months.
"Phew!"
In the office, Li Yue put down the pen and documents in his hand and let out a long sigh.
"Too much trouble, it's really exhausting."
Looking at the pile of various documents on the desk, which resembled a small mountain, he felt another headache.
In the past few months, there was a constant stream of documents, mostly cooperation plans from various companies, and also some internal company strategies for the development of the virtual platform. These plans and strategies were increasing every day, with new ones or old ones appearing daily.
Of course, what Li Yue had to deal with was still manageable; Lawrence's workload was even more frightening, too much to count.
Because of this, he couldn't help but sigh at 'his own cleverness' for stepping down from the position of executive CEO early, otherwise, he would have been driven crazy by the busyness.
"But it will be soon. After dealing with these trivia , it will be much quieter in the future!"
"Once this period passes and everything in the group is on the right track, I will have enough time to carry out my own plans!"
Even the system had been quiet these days, seemingly understanding that Li Yue was busy and not giving him any tasks.
But in Li Yue's heart, obtaining the origin energy was always the top priority. After all, leaving the Marvel world also required origin energy!
In Li Yue's eyes, the Marvel world was just a starting point, a beginning. It was vast and expansive, yet also small and narrow!
Compared to the legendary worlds and origins of myths, Marvel was still quite lacking.
He was busy from morning until six in the evening, and only when someone came to notify him did Li Yue realize it was time to leave.
"Phew!"
Stretching his back, he looked at the documents on the desk that had been processed, and a smile bloomed on his face.
"Finally finished. These matters are also dealt with."
He finally got through this period of time. As for future matters, there would naturally be much less to do, and others could be handled by Lawrence.
Lawrence was experienced. Although he was a bit rigid, it was undeniable that he was very thorough in his work. Li Yue was very relieved to leave the company's daily affairs to him.
"Time to get off work!"
He put away the processed documents. An assistant would come to pick them up tomorrow.
After doing this, Li Yue stood up, picked up his wallet and car keys from the desk, and walked out of the office.
At this moment, it was almost dark. The lights in the hallway had already turned on. Li Yue slowly walked to the elevator, pressed the floor button, and arrived at the first floor.
"Chairman!"
"Chairman!"
As people came and went, many employees saw Li Yue and took the initiative to greet him.
In response, Li Yue smiled and nodded in return to each of them.
These employees were all loyal personnel who had been tested by him. To him, they were a huge asset, so he naturally had to treat them well.
Walking straight through the lobby, Li Yue exited the Noah Building.
Holding the keys in his hand, he walked directly towards the company's underground parking lot.
...
The white Chevrolet drove straight along Langdon Avenue, moving at a steady pace.
Along the way, Li Yue's expression was calm. The cool wind from the half-open car window blew on his face, making him feel much more refreshed.
After driving for about half an hour, Li Yue finally arrived at his home, a large detached villa located in the southern suburbs of Manhattan.
The villa was very luxurious, with its own estate, rock gardens, and streams. There were also many security personnel around, so there was no need to worry about safety.
However, Li Yue didn't like it here. Although this villa was one of the inheritances left by his 'parents', for Li Yue, this place was still too empty.
There was no warmth, no other people. Apart from some hourly workers, a chef, and a butler, he was the only one living in this empty villa!
The butler was an old man from England, rigid and strict. Normally, besides arranging Li Yue's food, drink, and daily life, he wouldn't say anything else, just like a 'zombie'.
Undoubtedly, this cold atmosphere made Li Yue feel very uncomfortable at first.
But there was nothing he could do. His status was already vastly different from before.
There were countless paparazzi hoping to take his photo, or some gossip, and then sell them for a lot of money.
Because of this, he had to move here. This could be considered one of the troubles of being a 'celebrity'.
However, to add a bit of life and avoid being too bored or lonely by himself, Li Yue also brought Max over.
On one hand, it was for Max to protect him, and on the other hand, it was to have someone to talk to.
As for the place he used to live, the apartment in the Revolutionary Road community, it had already been sold.
Returning to the villa, Li Yue parked the car. At this moment, Max was already standing at the entrance of the villa, waiting.
"Boss, you're back!"
"Yeah!"
Li Yue nodded and then got out of the car!
However, his expression was somewhat solemn. When he got out of the car, he looked back, but there was nothing there, only a patch of flowers and plants within the estate.
"What's wrong, Boss?"
Max seemed to sense that Li Yue's expression was off, so he asked.
"Nothing, I was just being overly suspicious!"
Li Yue shook his head, then waved his hand and didn't say anything more.
"Max, what are we eating tonight?"
"Boss, you know I only eat 'batteries' now!"
"Oh? What brand of batteries do you want tonight, Kodak or Nanfu?"
