Why Can’t I Play Games

December 6th.

Zhang Yang came to Los Angeles.

After getting off the plane, Zhang Yang stopped and looked at this bustling metropolis.

He was a little emotional, even compared with the Chinese metropolis more than ten years later, this city is still full of prosperity and modern atmosphere, and it is still not too much.

He narrowed his eyes.

Recalling the historical process of the original world...

Compared with the original world, this world is similar in some places, so similar that Zhang Yang feels that he has returned to the past.

However, there are many other things that are different.

iPhone.

In the original world, in 2007, Apple's first mobile phone appeared.

In the following 2008, the Apple 3 was officially launched. The Apple 3 is the world's first mobile phone that supports third-party applications. The curtain has created a great era of change.

After the next Apple 4 entered China, it set off even more turbulent waves. Under the turbulent waves, many tragedies of the era appeared. Amidst the controversy of individual young people being pushed to the forefront and selling their kidneys for opportunities, the 4th generation became A milestone in Apple's empire...

Looking back on the history of the original world, Zhang Yang took a deep breath, feeling a little urgent and uncontrollable.

In this world, the first generation of Apple was released in 2005, and like the original time and space, it also set off a wave of enthusiasm in the old United States...

As for the Apple 3rd generation!

The phone has long been rumored to be on sale around June next year.

However, Zhang Yang has a premonition that this phone is very likely to be ahead of schedule.

Not only the release of mobile phones has been advanced, but even the general structure of the world has been advanced.

When Zhang Yang saw the 3G advertisements everywhere beside the airport, his heart became serious.

but……

Now that you've come to this world, let's make a fuss!

Otherwise, how can we live up to this era?

He spits out gum.

"Let's go!"

"Alright Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, shall we go to the hotel first or..."

Wu Zhuang nodded and shook the bag strap in his hand.

He is different from Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang is full of ambitions for this world, but he is shocked by the prosperity of Laomei, and at the same time excited, he is also a little timid and uneasy.

What kind of place is the city of liberty that he once yearned for?

"This time the itinerary is very full. The mobile operators in the United States, AT\u0026T, Verizon Telecom, and Sprint, all three, as well as the American Milford Motor Company, Cadillac...they have to go again, they are ours. potential clients, and…”

"And what?"

"Some old American record companies..."

"..."

Wu Zhuang looked at Zhang Yang's smile and subconsciously nodded.

"But first, Old Wu, I hope you can wrap us up..."

"Package?"

"Yes! Wrapping! Simply Wrapping..."

"..."

………………

American Wilson Entertainment is located in a remote area north of Los Angeles.

Boss Wilson once ambitiously wanted a piece of the pie in this era of entertaining to death.

but……

It's a pity that he has ambitions in vain, but he doesn't have the corresponding strength.

Although there are quite a few singers under his banner, and he feels that there are quite a few talented ones, but under the pressure of many big companies, their chances to make their mark are really limited.

In this era, you don't just get ahead if you are talented. Sometimes, you have to depend on your fate.

You are talented, you have created songs, but most of the songs are popular in this era, but in another era, it will be like that...

As for awards like the Grammys?

This is not something a singer from a small record company like Wilson can enter.

There was even a time when Wilson was cheeky and dragged the company's singer Jenny to the red carpet in a costume, intending to create a wave of heat, but was blocked by the staff and squeezed out of the crowd by countless crazy fans.

If there is no accident in the future, the Wilson Company, which has been established for five years and has been supported for five years, will be submerged in the tide of this era just like other record companies due to the limitations of resources and creative teams.

but……

The accident still came.

The morning of December 7th.

When Wilson came to the company as usual, thinking about future plans, the assistant knocked on the door of his office.

Then...

It is said that there are guests from China visiting.

Wilson was very surprised at the time. His company was not very famous in Laomei, let alone Huaxia. How could there be guests visiting?

Out of curiosity, he asked his assistant to bring the two of them in.

Then, he saw a young man who was Chinese, and another young man who was an American in a suit and ties, who seemed to be his translator.

"Mr. Wilson, let me introduce myself. I am Zhang Yang from Huaxia Universe Technology. You may not have heard of my name, but you should have heard of the game "Plants vs. Zombies" under my company!" Wilson looked at Until the young man in Huaxia came over and smiled at himself.

"Ah, hello! Hello, Mr. Zhang, hello..."

Although Wilson subconsciously stood up.

He doesn't play games, but he has heard of "Plants vs. Zombies". This is a stand-alone game that has become popular in the United States recently, and his son is also playing it.

However, what did the boss of the game company find him for?

"This is the sales volume of our company's games in Laomei and China so far..." After Zhang Yang sat down, he immediately turned around and took out a document from his bag.

"Huh?" Wilson subconsciously took the information.

After seeing the above data, he was a little at a loss for a while.

What does this Chinese person mean?

"Mr. Wilson, this is about my experience on the Internet. I made a brief summary. I hope you can take a look at my 6-month entrepreneurial experience before we chat..." Zhang Yang saw Wilson's blank expression After that, he didn't explain anything, but continued to smile and released an English booklet.

"..." Wilson stared blankly at the brochure.

In the brochure, there is a long introduction in English, introducing Zhang Yang's entrepreneurial experience.

During the period, photos of the old house were also included.

There is an English introduction under the photo of the old house, which introduces how "Universal Technology" made a fortune, and once again introduces the birth of the first game and the popularity it caused in great detail.

At the same time, there are some group photos of Cosmic Science and Technology employees in the booklet. In addition to the group photos, there are also some photos of the new company...

In the English letters below, they are full of praise for the uniqueness of the universe technology, and how awesome Zhang Yang is!

Wilson was dumbfounded after seeing half of it!

He subconsciously looked up at Zhang Yang who was drinking tea.

His mind was full of question marks.

What is this man doing?

Come up to me to brag?

"Mr. Wilson, have you finished reading?"

"Mr. Zhang, I admire your entrepreneurial experience, but you are here this time, you are not just bragging with me, are you?"

"Eh..." Zhang Yang subconsciously took the booklet back and looked at it, and then suddenly realized, "Sorry, there are some things missing in this booklet. I am actually a musician. It caused a great sensation, and in just a few months, the sales volume set a record for popular music..."

"???" Wilson was demented!

At this moment, his face was full of question marks.

This man!

What are you going to do!

Did he come here to say that he is very powerful and let himself flatter him?

this……

"Mr. Wilson? Are you all right?"

"I...Mr. Zhang, I still don't understand what you are going to do. I admit that you are indeed very powerful and talented, but..."

"Oh, Mr. Wilson, I am here this time to seek your cooperation. I appreciate your tenacity very much. I think you just lack an opportunity. If you, or your company, has an opportunity, it will definitely Create a brand new era, and I can give you this opportunity..."

"Huh?" Wilson took a deep breath.

cooperate?

What good cooperation do they have?

"Mr. Wilson, you can check my resume everywhere, and there is no problem at all!"

"so what?"

"My previous game was so powerful in China, and it also set off a wave of enthusiasm in Laomei. Then, my next game, I said that I will be even more popular, do you believe it?"

"Eh..." Wilson nodded blankly.

"My marketing strategy, do you trust me?"

"..." Wilson continued to nod.

"Then you agree with my sensitivity to pop music?"

"..." Wilson always felt that his mind was being controlled by Zhang Yang.

At this moment, he felt that his head was like a paste, and he felt hypnotized.

"That's good, Mr. Wilson, this is our contract. Next year, I will produce a game called "Crazy Kart". You only need to pay a certain amount of share, and we can use the game to share your songs. , to promote the past... Huaxia is a big market, "

"What? Sixty percent of the proceeds? Isn't that too high? Are you robbers? You..." Wilson picked up the contract and glanced at it, then widened his eyes and subconsciously stood up.

"Not high, Mr. Wilson, you should have seen our cooperation with BMW, right? Oh, why didn't the results of this cooperation be included in the brochure? Another one was missed, but it doesn't matter, Mr. Wilson, you can check BMW on the Internet The huge benefits brought about by the cooperation project between Huaxia and our company..." Zhang Yang shook his head.

"No, is this too high? No, up to 50%! It is impossible for us to pay so much for your promotion. You are just empty hands. I have seen too many people like this. Too much, you are simply..."

"Deal! Fifty percent is fifty percent! You only need to pay us fifty percent of the proceeds..."

"???"

When he saw Zhang Yang's smile, Wilson was numb all of a sudden.

Suddenly something seems wrong!

Feel……

Fallen?

Half an hour later.

Zhang Yang left Wilson Records, looked at the address, and took a taxi to another record company with a smile on his face.

And the other side!

Wu Zhuang took the newly printed brochures in his arms and went to the Milford Motor Company, Cadillac and other companies conscientiously, with a confident smile on his face.

do not know why……

These days, I spend more time following Zhang Yang, plus I attract more customers every day...

His mind is full of all kinds of empty-handed white wolf methods.

………………………

On the evening of December 7th.

The sun was setting.

Tong Wei is sitting at the gate of Verizon Communications headquarters in the United States.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally chose to make a call to Zhang Yang.

"boss Zhang……"

"What's wrong? Mr. Tong? Could it be that the other party doesn't approve of our mobile phone? Impossible, as long as the market research is done, as long as the other party is not a fool, they will definitely understand the interest relationship..."

"Boss Zhang doesn't disapprove, but..."

"But what? Don't hesitate, just speak directly if you have something to say."

"Mr. Zhang, are we really going to pay Verizon such a crazy price? We barely make any money..."

"How much profit is that?"

"For a mobile phone, the real profit is estimated to be about forty dollars. If taxes are deducted, it is estimated to be less than twenty dollars..."

"Sell!"

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, and then suddenly nodded.

After Tong Wei heard this sentence, he finally nodded.

However, it was hard to accept in my heart.

He knew that Zhang Yang was fighting a price war!

But why must we cooperate with these communication operators in the United States?

Their games, taking advantage of the popularity of the game, can obviously make a lot of money, but why keep the price so low?

"Mr. Zhang, then I'll sign the contract now? If it's at this price, I guess the other three major companies can also talk about it..."

"Sign it, but when signing the contract, you must sign a clause..."

"What terms?"

"The sharing price they cooperate with other mobile phones must be based on the proportion of this contract..."

"This...Mr. Zhang...you...do you have US dollar shares in Laomei Telecom?" Tong Wei asked tentatively.

"No!"

"Why, I always have a feeling that you help them make money?"

"No... just do as I tell you."

"good."

………………………

December 9th.

After watching the sales of Phelps mobile phones soaring...

The sense of urgency in Joe Roy's heart became even stronger!

After round after round of shareholder meetings, it was finally set on December 20th that the Apple 3rd generation will be officially released!

Phelps mobile phones cannot be allowed to seize the old American market.

Then...

They also determined the marketing plan for future Apple mobile phones.

That is to cooperate with the major operators of Laomei and help them sell mobile phones together by sharing!

It wasn't long before Joe Roy excitedly asked his assistant to discuss cooperation with the old American operator...

A thunderbolt from the blue made Joe Roy extremely anxious!

"What! The Phelps phone is one step ahead of us again?"

"This is a Huaxia brand, why should they!"

"Wait, what are you talking about? We have to cooperate according to their contract?"

"Such a low share? It's a total loss. We can't make any money at all. Phelps is crazy. This is completely vicious competition. Our iPhone 3 mobile phone performance is much better than theirs, and the mobile phone system is more stable than theirs. ..."

"Are you crazy?"

"FUCK! FUCK!"

"..."
