Blooming America

Chapter 257

In this Blizzard competition, Burger King is the fast food supplier for the players.

Players can enjoy all the food in Burger King without having to pay even one cent for it. These are all Blizzard’s out-of-pocket expenses.

Burger King has almost become the largest fast food chain in California, of course, thanks to venture capital from venture capital.

A few days ago, Burger King sought to go public, but it failed.

Unable to go public and short of funds, Burger King, which was in the expansion stage, was immediately caught in a crisis. They are preparing to negotiate a merger with Piercebury.

At this time, they were taken by Soros. The financial speculator immediately saw the business opportunity, and then began to invest in Burger King.

——Of course, because this investment is neither for newcomers nor for new products, Soros also specifically asked the major shareholder Catherine about this matter.

Of course Katherine agreed-isn't it interesting to be able to cultivate a catering company that beats McDonald's and kicks KFC?

Although this is a little different from my original intention, anyway, this is a thing that is profitable and harmless.

Because of their support, Burger King stopped the merger discussion with Piercebury, and then started their own expansion. So far, they are ready to try again to see if they can go public.

"Bill, you are really amazing, your netbsp; Woz admires Bill Gates, who is now the top 32.

"In fact, it's just a little level swing today."

Gates looked at Jobs, and then suddenly felt a little shy and embarrassed, but in fact, he was not such a person at all.

"Tomorrow will be the top 32 hegemony, and the final... Oh, I really look forward to it."

Wozbi is five years older than the two, and they look a little more mature, but it seems that because of this, he is now a role that drives the atmosphere.

Gates's swing was very strong. He defeated the opponent in just over a minute in almost every set. It can be said that he is the fastest of all.

"Let's come over tomorrow morning and watch the final of Emma Cube."

——The morning is the game time of "Emma Cube", and the afternoon is the game time of "Street Fighter".

"Well, tomorrow happens to be Sunday." Jobs responded, but then he shrugged again: "But I still want to see my X. It's a pity."

"Steve, we have time to play games at any time." Woz reminded.

"But I think something is missing in this game..." Gates felt a little strange.

"There are too few games. It would be great if we could add some games as competition items." Jobs looked out the window. The venue on the opposite side was still surrounded by many people. They were all fans of x.

"I think it would be better if the game screen becomes cooler—just like in the comics...netv, why is it just a few pixels in the game?"

Woz seems to be obsessed with net Li, but his words make Gates a little embarrassed-he most often uses netbsp in the game; "I heard that the next generation of game opportunities uses 16-bit cpu, maybe it will be good. "Gates had to change the subject.

"Oh, yes, I heard that they are also preparing to launch a product with a new architecture. I heard that it can greatly improve the netg performance. I really look forward to it." Woz also nodded.

Hearing what the other party said, Gates also became active: "The most important thing is that the mbus game console is said to provide network support. Everyone can compete on the network... Oh, there is nothing more bang than this. ."

—— Gates didn't know that Catherine had ruthlessly castrated this function.

"I heard that they will also launch 3d games? Oh, I really want to see what such a game looks like." Jobs also sighed on the side.

Although Blizzard has paid for two hundred X game consoles for this game, and tens of thousands of dollars in bonuses and venue fees, this is actually not much money, thanks to the company's current product costs have been greatly increased Decline, and the increase in profit margins and the popularity of products, whether it is x or Blizzard’s x games, have made a lot of money.

——The cost has dropped to US dollars. If you buy it alone, you can buy a core with only US dollars, and the cost of the entire X has also fallen below US dollars. In other words, every time a unit of x is sold, the company's profit is as high as more than a few dollars. After using various "reasonable and legal tax avoidance methods", the profit is still hundreds of dollars.

If nothing else, this year x can at least bring hundreds of millions of profits to Catherine’s company

As for the current cost is still above US dollars, there is currently no retail plan, even if it is ready for retail, the price will be around US dollars.

As a transitional version of the 16-bit CPU, Catherine’s company has not yet started production. Although it is a transitional product, Catherine does not intend to give up this product-this can be regarded as a low-end 16-bit netbsp; Step-by-step cost recovery is conducive to the company's market development.

"The game console is really a magical thing, it really makes people mí......" Jobs said with emotion.

"Yes, if it is only used for computers, I think the current one is completely enough." Gates also agreed. Two precocious young people are here talking about some things that adults can hardly understand. Knowledge.

"Yes, if we can write a program for x, we can use x as an encoder or even a computer."

The three were talking happily, and they waited until sunset before they reluctantly separated.

In the morning of the next day, three young people who hit it off were gathered here, and then watched the "Emma Cube" game at the game site.

Such a cube game is much more difficult than "Street Fighter".

In "Street Fighter", the masters make moves to each other, one after the other, and at most only ~ hp is deducted, but in "Emma Cube", this is not the case.

The dislocation of one building block is likely to bring fatal consequences.

"Emma Cube" signed up far fewer people than "Street Fighter", but the atmosphere inside was even more tense.

At the beginning, the game was a bit dull, the soothing music, and the slowly falling cubes made people a little tired-originally in "Emma Cube", you can quickly bypass the cube by pressing the joystick down. Fall, but in the game, this function is restricted.

But as time goes by, the music becomes more and more intense, and in the screen of the game, the degree of the cube falling faster and faster.

At this time, people seem to have suddenly discovered that the marathon just now has become a 100-meter race.

"Oh"

As the players get higher and higher scores, the cubes are getting faster and faster. Now, the cubes simply appear directly and fall below.

However, in such a short time, the players can react immediately. They can say that their hands are faster than their hearts. Every square almost falls to the position where the players want it to appear.

The game of "Emma Cube" is different from "Street Fighter". In this game, the top 8 will be selected, and then the 8 will start to compete directly, and the one with the most points wins.

There is almost no time for the cube to be in the air, but the players are meticulously completing their tasks, their hands are so fast that people can't speak.

Almost everyone felt their heart lifted in their throat.

Soon, one player made a mistake, then the game ended, and then two, three...

In the end, only two players were left in the peak duel.

But at this moment, the music immediately turned, the original color box interface suddenly disappeared, and then turned into black and white, and the box disappeared at this time, but the original right side prompts which box is next. The place has the appearance of an original square

"Oh my god"

Steve didn’t expect that "Emma Cube" could become like this in the back.

The music is getting more and more intense, and the two people are constantly pressing the handles...but there is nothing on the screen.

"What's wrong? Is the cube invisible?"

Some people are weird.

Finally, the words "game-over" appeared on a person's screen. At the same time, the frame of "Emma Cube" that had disappeared appeared on his screen ~www.wuxiaspot.com~.

Those squares have become invisible. At this time, the players can only rely on the square prompts on the right, as well as their general memory and thinking ability, to judge where the next square should appear, and their hands should How about netbsp; many people-especially those who watched the live broadcast-were stunned by these two people.

It turns out that a simple square game can still be played like this

Now, there is one person left in the venue, and at this moment, the music suddenly changes again, and the screen has completely disappeared.

At this moment, a graphic suddenly flashed on the screen in a very short time, and then disappeared, but the person still did not stop.

Everyone was surprised. People can only see his progress through his soaring points on the big screen.

...Finally, finally, the word game-over appeared on his screen. This person sighed, and then stood up, and at this time, people saw the disappeared square...
