Unparalleled True Technology

New York, inside a mansion.

Teresa Roy asked in a very surprised tone: "They are like this, the transformation is successful? And, still in such a short period of time?"

When any company reaches a bottleneck, it needs to transform in order to seek greater development space.

The transformation of a game company has always been the most difficult, but it is also necessary, because no one can guarantee that the game developed by oneself will be recognized by the market. Even world-renowned game companies such as Blizzard and EA are actually not only making games, but also publishing, publishing, and entertainment.

When Apple was first established, no one except Wen Ming knew what the company was going to do. After the development of "Plants vs. Zombies", everyone who knows this company believes that Apple is a game company and will only be a game company in the future.

Including James, Sith and others, they all have the same idea.

The research and development of Instagram, except for people inside Apple, the outside world did not know the news in advance.

Teresa Roy sent someone to check Wen Ming's background before. At that time, the product of Instagarm was not found, not because of any confidentiality, but because no one would have thought that Apple would develop a new product with only for 3 weeks.

Moreover, these 3 weeks also include all the work before the official launch.

"Our investment company has given an analysis report."

Teresa Roy's butler said: "They believe that this product of Apple's company will not bring considerable benefits to Apple, because their software is currently free of charge, and it is impossible to charge in the future. If they only seek advertising revenue through these users, the revenue will definitely not exceed the revenue brought by the game "Plants vs. Zombies."

"However, if they can find the right seller, this software can bring at least $300 million in direct benefits to Apple."

Cui Chuanming's speed is very fast. After learning about the product of Instagarm, he downloaded and used it for the first time to be cautious. Then he learned about the number of registered users of this software, and even consulted some experts from Harvard Business School. professor.

After gaining confidence, he persuaded his teacher Benjamin Lithschild to contact Teresa Roy again.

Both Cui Chuanming and his teacher Benjamin are dedicated to scientific research. If someone is willing to fund them to "resurrect" dinosaurs, they will definitely be willing to leave their names in human history.

The premise is that there are blood samples from dinosaurs.

Before he had a blood sample, Cui Chuanming directly rejected Wen Ming's research funding because it was impossible. After the blood sample was obtained, although the possibility of success was slim, there was a possibility of success after all.

Therefore, both master and apprentice became Wen Ming's best lobbyists.

After Teresa Roy was reminded by Benjamin, she sent someone to check Wen Ming's background again, so the current scene happened.

"300 million dollars? Hehe... This young man is really amazing."

Teresa Roy laughed: "When I was 19, did I have this much money?"

The housekeeper smiled and said, "When you were 19 years old, you were studying in India. If I remember correctly, you didn't even have the travel expenses to return home because you wanted to help those Indians who were victimized by the hierarchy."

The words of the housekeeper brought back some unhappy memories for Teresa Roy. During the two years of studying in India, he saw the darkness of the world for the first time. He once thought that the racial discrimination in the United States was serious enough, but he never thought that there is still a 'big country' with a hierarchy among citizens.

"When I was 19, penniless,

By the time he was 19, he had earned $300 million. No wonder, he dared to fund Benjamin's research on how to 'resurrect' dinosaurs. This man is a genius, but also a lunatic. "

The steward said: "You wanted to eliminate the Indian hierarchy at that time, wasn't it just a madman's idea?"

"Ha ha……"

Teresa Roy laughed a few times, and then said: "Help me contact Benjamin and ask him to tell this person named... Wen... Ming? If he wants to 'resurrect' the dinosaur, come and see me I want to see with my own eyes how crazy this genius is!"

The butler frowned. He noticed that Teresa's words were not about buying dinosaur blood samples, but about "resurrecting" dinosaurs. These are two completely different concepts.

...

At this time, Wen Ming didn't know the 'good news' yet. He was talking with Tomdin, a salesman from American Century Investment Company.

"To sum up, if you want to sell Instagram at a high price, our American Century Investment Company is definitely your best choice."

When Tomdin got off the plane and felt Apple, he received a call from the company. The company's risk assessment department analyzed that the main purpose of Apple's development of Instagram was to convert the users of "Plants vs. Zombies" into capable users. Users who provide secondary profits.

Judging from the current free trial mode of Instagarm, Apple is likely to want to resell the product directly after the user level reaches a certain level, or even sell Apple.

One of the most important reasons is that Wen Ming, the boss of Apple, has a life expectancy of only about 5 years due to a terminal illness, and the luckiest one can't live for ten years.

What could be better for a young man than to get a bunch of money and start enjoying life to the fullest when he knows he's dying?

Seeing Tomdin's confident expression, Wen Ming laughed inwardly.

Tomdin is right that he is selling Instagarm, but only Instagarm. Of course, if someone wants to buy "Plants vs. Zombies", he has no problem, as long as the price is right.

Apple's future, neither Instagram nor Plants vs. Zombies, can match its brand equity. Instead of this, it is better to sell these two products now in exchange for enough funds to provide sufficient impetus for Apple's development.

"Mr. Tomdin, as far as I understand, the way you learned about this product from Instagram is because of the game "Plants vs. Zombies?"

The sudden change of topic didn't make Tomdin any unhappy. On the contrary, Tomdin's talk became more intense.

If his superiors knew about this scene, he would definitely be proud of his foresight. Tomdin is so obsessed with games, if the topic of games comes up, he can even ignore his own job.

Therefore, Tomdin lost his wife and his job as a screenwriter in Hollywood, and was positioned by his boss as an investment company salesman who could only analyze and invest in IP.

"Yes, that's right."

Tomdin suddenly said to Wen Ming with a look of admiration: "I have to say, you are really a genius. The game "Plants vs. Zombies" is definitely the pinnacle of small games in recent years, and it is a real phenomenon. class game."

Wen Ming was amazed by Tomdin's sudden change of attitude, did he suddenly have the aura of domineering?

Tomdin completely ignored Wen Ming's expression, and continued to praise "Plants vs. Zombies", and proposed many areas that could be improved in his opinion.

After listening patiently for a while, Wen Ming couldn't help interrupting Tomding, and asked, "Mr. Tomding, I want to know, what kind of work did you do before?"

"Hollywood screenwriter, part-time game company planner."

Tomdin asked with some pride: "Have you heard of "Call of Duty" and "Crysis?"

Wen Ming was shocked instantly, and asked, "You developed this?"

"No!" Tomdin said shyly, "I only participated in part of the game planning."

Wen Ming breathed a sigh of relief, because these two games are too well-known, especially the "Call of Duty" series.

"Then why did you switch careers to a... venture capital firm?"

Tomdin is speechless!
