American Fortune Life

In the evening, in the room of the Four Seasons Hotel.

Andy hugged little Laura, who had already started to close his eyes and took a nap, gently stroking its smooth and beautiful fur, watching TV a little bored, two Dobermans lying on the carpet, with their heads pressed against the carpet, blinking from time to time Eyes, it seems very spiritless, it seems that the plane consignment still has a certain impact.

Now the TV is broadcasting the anti-war demonstrations in Washington DC, which has been rare in recent years, and more than 100,000 people participated in the demonstrations.

It's boring, and Andy switched to an entertainment show, um, it made him very speechless, it was his scandal with Paris, fortunately, soon there were scenes in New York, interviews outside the CP building, and the owner of the flower shop And the store managers of several major brand stores. Andy's extravagant behavior to please Ivana was reported.

Andy knew that things would be like this before he did this, at least it completely diverted people's attention, and he would no longer be obsessed with Andy's affairs in the nightclub. As for some people's envy and hatred, Andy didn't care at all.

Now it seems that the effect is good, at least the paparazzi around Ivana don't want to make Ivana angry by asking bloody questions. After all, she has a good temper and will answer a few questions when she is in a good mood, unlike Andy. With an indifferent look, he almost ignored them.

As for Paris, well, Andy saw a lot of paparazzi interviewing her, and the smile on her face never disappeared. Fortunately, there is no nonsense, just saying that she and Andy have known each other since they were very young, and they are good friends. The nightclub was just a chance encounter, there was no such thing as was written in the newspaper, and the scandal was completely denied.

Heaving a sigh of relief, he turned off the TV, carried little Laura back to the bedroom, and put it on the side of the bed. It looked up at Andy, and found that Andy was also lying on the bed with the blanket off, flicking his tail. Then a roll, the body shrank into a ball, and closed the eyes.

A good night's dream, Andy saw Ivana and Scarlett kissing his cheeks from left to right, soft and wet.

Feeling a little itchy, Andy opened his dim sleepy eyes, widened his eyes suddenly, and saw Quicksilver and the witch licking his face with their big tongues, Nima, Andy hurriedly drove the two puppies away, a little speechless Wipe the drool off his face.

The little Laura nestled by the side kept wagging her long tail, watching the two silly dogs being kicked out of bed by the owner in a bit of boredom.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Andy took his bodyguard and his three pets into the car to the company. He had no choice but to leave the three little things alone in the hotel. Annoyed, Andy can only take them to work, at least in the office he can keep an eye on three little things that are curious about everything.

At 9:30, Andy's car arrived at the company. Two pretty good-looking receptionists greeted Andy with sweet smiles.

Andy nodded at them with a smile on the corner of his mouth. The two receptionists were not surprised that Andy brought three pets to work. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the United States. Seeing the little Laura in the boss's arms, the two The eyes of the front desk are all bright, mainly because the fur of the Bengal cat is leopard print, which is simply the favorite of women.

Andy went to his office first, and after the three little guys settled down, he notified his secretary to ask her to call Blair for a meeting. Well, she is a young woman with a good figure, but her facial features are too tough. She wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses and looks very capable. This was recruited by Blair for him. After seeing her last time, Andy felt okay. left behind.

In the conference room.

As Blair gave a detailed introduction to the work of the company in the past few days after Andy left, Andy was very satisfied with the marketing department and the operation department that Blair started to set up as soon as he took office, especially that Blair is now planning to set up the authorization Department, I still appreciate Blair's planning for a rainy day, and he is indeed an experienced CEO.

Blair is also very satisfied with his job. In the company, he only needs to be responsible to Andy. There are no other messy shareholders, and he doesn't need to spend time arguing. As long as Andy agrees,

He can start to act quickly, no meetings are allowed, no review is required, and no need to look at the faces of other directors.

Andy is also a hands-off shopkeeper, who hardly participates in the company's administration. In his words, professional matters are left to professional people. This kind of boss is simply the bole of professional managers.

Of course, Blair also knows that there are two departments in the company that the boss personally took care of, one is the finance department, and the other is the legal department, both of which were replaced by the boss immediately after the acquisition. The constraints of professional managers are common and normal, and he has no discomfort at all.

The biggest topic of today's meeting is the publicity work and other logistical preparations before the launch of the trial version of "Minecraft".

Let's watch the game advertisement of "Minecraft" together. Most of the real scenes in the game, as well as a few distinctive buildings built in the accelerated state, although there are no amazing ideas, but they are quite satisfactory. After all, the audience should see After finishing the advertisement, I have an intuitive understanding, what is this game for? How to play?

After the commercial was played, there was applause in the meeting room, "Crack..."

"Hehe, it's not bad. Let's do this for the trial version of the advertisement first. After all, the time is a bit rushed." Andy stretched out his hands and clapped a few times, then pressed his hands down again, and the voice in the conference room gradually It became quiet, "Before the meeting just now, I played the demo version. Although some parts are still a bit unsatisfactory, in general, there should be no problem with the launch."

Next, Andy proposed some props and scenes that appeared in the game in the previous life for "Minecraft", such as how to kill sheep and shear sheep at the same time, as long as it is matched with different props, how to do it in the game To achieve the fastest forward speed, how to copy the treasure chest, although some are obvious bugs, but it is also a kind of fun, the fun of discovering secrets for players.

"But boss, will the appearance of these bugs affect the balance of the game? Give us time, and we will definitely achieve perfection..." Bill frowned and questioned.

Blair smiled and replied for Andy: "These are not real bugs, they can only be regarded as a little secret, a little trick, which is very helpful for improving players' exploration of the game. After all, it is a trial version. Besides, the game Only the imperfection can reflect the value of the game company.”

Andy took Blair's words with a smile on his face and said: "Indeed, although it is a trial version, we have opened the patch download function on the company's website. The game is constantly updated and improved, which not only promotes the emergence of new content in the game. , and every update will retain some old players who are bored, and will also attract the attention of some new players.”

Bill is still very talented in game development, but he doesn't know anything about game operations. Tech geeks always hope to give players a perfect game or software to realize the value of being a tech geek, but in terms of sales and management. It's basically a mess, well, he still needs a little time to digest the words of Blair and Andy.

Next, the two development teams of "Zombie" and "Under the Legend" introduced the development progress of the past two days, because "Minecraft" developed by Bill is about to go on sale, as the company's first profitable Naturally, projects get taken seriously, which is definitely a thrill for Holden of "Frozen."

The boss was unhappy, and his subordinates were naturally unlucky. The development team of "Zombie" had been working overtime for two consecutive days, and everyone was a little depressed. Holden's eyes were also a little bloodshot. Andy saw Holden's state It's a little abnormal. This kind of excitement is triggered by stimulation and cannot last.

After the meeting, Andy called Holden into the office for a good communication.

"Have a cup of coffee first... Holden, I know you hope to complete the development of "Zombie" as soon as possible, and hope to launch it on the market as soon as possible, but this matter should not be rushed, I heard that you have not had a good rest for two days Well, that’s not enough. You can work better only when you are healthy. You can’t last a few days in this state... How about this? Today, your development team will have a day off, and you will start working again tomorrow afternoon, go back and take a shower, and have a good time Get some sleep."

Holden said to Andy one day, stood up quickly, and said anxiously: "Boss... I, I can hold on, my body is very healthy, there is no problem, don't worry, I thought of another good thing yesterday Idea, we can not only equip zombies with props, we can also equip and upgrade plants, and this is a profit point, after the game is widely recognized by the market, we can sell props, and even build a community..."

Andy was a little shocked when he heard Holden's narration, but he didn't show any expression on his face, but his heart was like overwhelming, Nima, this is a new content that was released in the later version of "Zombie". Come to think of it, is this also the buried god of the game world?
