Why Can’t I Play Games

Before the Rise of a Nation...

There are bound to be many obstacles.

Whether it is the Huaxia of this world or the Huaxia of the original world, they have all encountered the most difficult times.

The ancestors have been humiliated, rebelled in anger, shed their heads and shed blood, and finally changed to a peaceful and prosperous world.

but……

Although it is peaceful, it is the beginning of a new war.

In the original world, Zhang Yang also experienced a very unwilling era.

Laomei's high-end technology has long been deployed in China...

While bringing progress to the China era, it also buried hidden dangers.

That was a tough trade war.

The old American side was the attacking side, and they came so aggressively that Huaxia was caught off guard for a while, and many things were stuck in their necks.

Not just stuck necks...

Although Huaxia's cohesion is extremely strong, even if it encountered that "natural disaster", it still carried it through in the face of many Western accusations, and even did an excellent job.

but……

Still aggrieved!

Even after time travel, Zhang Yang still felt a sense of aggrieved.

but……

05 years!

It's a really good time.

The 2008 Olympic Games has not yet come, China is about to take off, and it is about to show the glory of the prosperous age...

And Laomei's layout has just begun...

In the cosmic science and technology office.

"Everything starts with the game."

outside the window.

Autumn leaves are falling...

And Zhang Yang looked at his games quietly.

He looked down at "Crazy Kart" and "Dance Dance Troupe" who were planning their journey.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Crazy Kart" is upgraded and transformed on the template of "Violent Locomotive", so, about three months...

It will appear in February next year...

And "Dance Dance Troupe" will be a little later...

"Not enough people!"

"The team is still not enough..."

"However, these things come slowly, and more importantly, many people need to learn systematically..."

"Let Lao Zhong take someone to Laomei to investigate, anyway, he is stuck in Huaxia, thinking about online games all day is also painful..."

"..."

Zhang Yang hesitated for a moment, took out his cell phone, and called Zhong Chongwen.

After finishing the call, he silently stared at Lao Mei's "God of Raiders".

This game...

Can it be popular in Laomei?

………………………

The US version and learning version of "God of Strategies" have also undergone a series of fine-tuning.

The Huaxia version focuses on learning English...

However, the US version of "God of Raiders" is equipped with other foreign languages.

For example, "Chinese", "Spanish", "French"...

Of course, the core internal gameplay has not changed, which is basically the case.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

"FUCK, YOU! "The number of downloads exceeded 70,000!

Breaking through 150,000 in one day seems to be no problem...

For such a small game, this is already an incredible statistic. Even for the whole year, this game can be called the finale of the small game.

but……

"FUCK, YOU! "Singing all the way, but the data of the US version of "God of Raiders" is very reluctant.

Even if it is downloaded on the homepage, the data is very reluctant, only more than 8,000, or even less than 10,000.

Compared to "FUCK, YOU! "The hot...

"God of Raiders" is really a big disappointment.

After seeing the data, Rocky couldn't believe it.

Originally thought that the elite-educated families of Laomei would choose "God of Raiders" at the first time, so as to make "God of Raiders" popular like Huaxia, but...

More than 8,000 downloads in three hours, which is really common.

The degree of discussion is not very high...

There are a lot of bad reviews, and basically all the bad reviews are "this game is too difficult", "why there is such a game", "this game is simply anti-human", "I'm not happy at all", "don't play, headache!" and so on comment of.

Katie walked in with a wry smile.

"The game itself is controversial..."

"Some people think this game has the potential of a masterpiece, and some people think it is not optimistic about this game... The overall game is still excellent, including the content. The only regret is that learning is really painful..."

"It is true that many people in our old America are educated by elites, but more people are educated by happiness... This game is so unhappy..."

"And, more importantly, we didn't advertise this game. This game is popular in China because of the trend, and because of advertising and marketing, but here..."

"..."

Katie analyzed many reasons.

She shook her head.

In the end, it is concluded that this "God of Raiders" game is excellent, but in terms of sales, it may not be called excellent.

Rocky was slightly disappointed.

but……

This disappointment is also temporary, and then I continue to get busy with other things.

After all, if every game becomes a blockbuster, it would be unscientific, wouldn’t it?

and……

You said let their company spend a lot of money to promote this game...

Propaganda is impossible to publicize!

At most, it is the key recommendation on the UC platform, otherwise, it is impossible for them to spend a penny more.

……………………

The night of October 20th.

Tong Wei came to Los Angeles, USA.

Old America is a free place.

Tong Wei used to yearn for Laomei...

After all, they are people from the 1980s. At that time, many people around them hoped to go abroad for gold plating, and then come back to pretend to be aggressive.

but……

After actually going there a few times, and after occasionally hearing some words from Mr. Zhang, Tong Wei's yearning for this kind of thing gradually weakened.

"You passed this time! It represents the future, and the burden on your shoulders will be heavy..."

"However, I trust you..."

"Don't think about other things, you just think that you are a warrior, and you go to Laomei to conquer Laomei!"

"As long as you sell a mobile phone, it is the beginning of victory!"

"..."

Zhang Yang's voice echoed in Tong Wei's mind.

Tong Wei took the money and was full of passion.

When he came to Los Angeles, according to Zhang Yang's instructions, he immediately registered "Universal Technology", and bought a bakery, specially hired Charles, a shopping guide who could understand Chinese, and signed a cooperation share agreement with him.

Later, he bought many brand-new mobile phone counters and placed them in the store.

"Boss... you, we only sell such a mobile phone?"

At first, Charles came to cooperate and start a business with excitement.

He has investigated this phone, and it is very popular in China, and I believe it will not be too bad in Laomei.

but……

Later, when the counters were set up one by one, and there were more than a dozen identical "Phelps" mobile phones, he felt more and more that something was wrong!

He stared wide-eyed at the more than a dozen mobile phones, chargers, and memory cards in front of the counter, and then looked at the empty counter not far away...

He took a deep breath.

"Yes!" Tong Wei nodded.

"this……"

"The other counters are empty, so don't we sell other things? Can we buy some other types of mobile phones or digital products?" Charles hesitated for a long time, and finally asked such a question.

"No..." Tong Wei continued to nod.

"Ah, the rent here is not cheap, boss, I don't understand what you are going to do... We will lose money if we do this! Just sell this one, the sales must be embarrassing..." Charles said what was in his heart.

"Actually, I also don't understand what my boss behind the scenes is doing..."

Tong Wei looked at the empty store and muttered to himself.

In fact...

Although Zhang Yang's words are very inspirational.

However, when he really saw that the entire store sold only one mobile phone and could foresee that he would lose money for a long time to come, he was at a loss.

Mr. Zhang, what are you doing here?

Money can't be wasted like this, can it?

Don't you really think that as long as you can sell a mobile phone, you are a victory?

Just when Tong Wei was at a loss.

Tong Wei received another call from Huaxia.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang?"

"Mr. Tong, how is the matter in Los Angeles going?"

"Los Angeles has opened the store according to your request. However, we only have the "Phelps" counter, but no other mobile phones. Most of the counters are empty, which makes the whole store look It's weird and one-dimensional, and one extra day we spend now is one day's money..."

"These are not important, now there is a more important task!"

"What mission?"

"Have a good rest tonight. After the rest, go to New York and try to open a branch in New York..."

"What? Mr. Zhang, what are you talking about? I didn't hear clearly, you mean, go to New York..."

"Yes! New York is a big city, this place is very good, it would be too wasteful not to open a mobile phone store of ours..."

"???"

"Don't worry here in Los Angeles, I will send another person to take care of it together. It just so happens that Lao Zhong is going to take a group of people from Universe Technology to study in Los Angeles, so come here together..."

"???"

After answering the phone, Tong Wei was dumbfounded.

I just felt a humming sound in my head.

He was still in a dazed state until he hung up the phone.

this is not……

Are you wasting money?

After this store is opened, if it is converted into RMB, it will cost at least about 400,000 yuan, and there will be various operating costs and part of the customs tax in the future?

The money is like being sprinkled directly in a pond...

for the next two days.

After dealing with the matters in Los Angeles and the handover, Tong Wei got on the plane to New York again.

On the plane, Tong Wei was half awake and half awake, and went to New York to open a shop, and it was the most prosperous place designated by Zhang Yang. Doesn't it cost 700,000 yuan?

The 700,000 at the end of 2005 was really a scary number for Tong Wei. He always felt that Zhang Yang's steps were too big.

It turns out!

He was right.

The Phelps store in Los Angeles has been posting money from its opening to the end of November, and sold a total of ten mobile phones...

The New York branch has been reorganized and opened, and it has not sold a single mobile phone for two consecutive days.

The flow of people is indeed very large, and there are many people watching, but when this group of people walked into the counter and looked at the empty mobile phone cabinet behind.

Everyone immediately chose to leave and went to the Nokia mobile phone showroom on the other side!

Meanwhile, Tong Wei and the clerk stared blankly at the prosperity of Nokia's mobile phone hall.

This store always gives people a feeling that it is going to close down...

"Boss... I feel like I have no future in this job..."

"I actually think too... wait, I'm going to answer the phone..."

"..."

Tong Wei received another call from Zhang Yang.

"Boss Tong..."

"Mr. Zhang, I think..."

"There's no need to say anything, I've worked hard on you for the past two days, now I'm going to work hard on you again..."

"Mr. Zhang, what are your orders?"

"Go to Hawaii and open a branch..."

"???"

"Don't you think that many counters are empty? I talked to Chu Meng and Mr. Chu, and asked him to make a few mobile phone models according to my requirements... Wouldn't it be empty?"

"..."

……………………………

November has passed so quickly.

these days……

Tong Wei is like a spinning top, spinning around the United States.

In the blink of an eye, it was December 2nd.

When another mobile phone store opened in Hawaii, Tong Wei finally stopped receiving calls from Zhang Yang.

On the edge of the shopping mall in Honolulu, under everyone's strange eyes, he took a lot of mobile phone models from Chu Meng and placed them on the counter.

"Is Zhang always as systematic as the novel..."

"Is this system rewarding you as long as you lose money?"

"..."

He finally looked at Chu Meng.

And Chu Meng shrugged.

He's just here to deliver.

"However, Mr. Zhang's idea is quite good. Although it is a model, basically the mobile phone is no longer a clamshell or a slider, but a touch screen. Well, it looks very fashionable...Okay, let's not talk about it. I'm going to be busy..."

"Chu Meng, what have you been up to lately? No one answered your phone..." When Tong Wei saw that Chu Meng was putting away the mobile phone model and was about to leave, he felt a little strange.

"I'm busy applying for a patent..."

"What patent?"

"Mobile phone appearance patent, Huaxia is also applying for it, and Laomei is also applying for it..."

"Ah? What's the use of this thing?"

"I don't know what's the use. Anyway, Mr. Zhang said that applying for this is useful, and he also proposed a lot of advanced concepts. Although our technology can't make such a concept mobile phone, we need to register the patent first... His original words are this mean……"

"Why do you have flip phones without sliders in your patent? Are they all touch screens?"

"Mr. Zhang said it's meaningless..."

"..."

When Tong Wei heard this, he was even more at a loss.

He watched Chu Meng pick up the materials and leave in a hurry.

He scratched his head.

He felt like a fool in front of Mr. Zhang.

He thought he could understand what Mr. Zhang was doing...

But after getting in touch with Mr. Zhang for a long time, he didn't understand what Mr. Zhang was doing more and more.

Isn't it popular now to flip and slide?

Why not go deeper into this one?

He shook his head.

"This money... How long will we have to lose..."

"Although the sales of mobile phones are still good, but the mobile phones with such advanced configurations are only sold for 998, and there is not much profit at all. It is completely a small profit to seize the market..."

"If it expands in such a disorderly way, it might not make any money..."

"And there is also a problem with the location of the mobile phone store. I only choose the place next to Nokia, isn't this being beaten by Nokia!"

"..."

Tong Wei lowered his head.

caught in deep worry.

but……

This worry did not last long, and he heard Charles in Los Angeles tell him a very unbelievable news.

their mobile phones!

Thirty ones were suddenly sold yesterday!

But today, it seems that there are people around the mobile phone store early in the morning, and twenty units have been sold this morning...

This trend seems to be stronger than yesterday...

Seems like it exploded all of a sudden?

"etc!"

"It seems like yesterday was the release date of "Violent Locomotive" in Laomei?"

"The mobile phone advertisements in the game have a chain reaction?"

"..."
