Chapter 13

Why is this happening, I think anyone who knows England and Ireland can understand what I'm talking about, so I won't say much on this issue

After signing a contract with University of London alumni at a shipping price of 4 pounds, the alumni sold them to their classmates and friends for 6 pounds. I heard that a guy from the University of London in marketing sold 200 game discs on the first day. Made £400.

God, I also want to sell game discs to William Devon Hill. I have not been paid £400 a day as an editor-in-chief who has been working for more than 20 years. Maybe I should ask William Devon Hill for advertising fees. and running fee.

The game first became famous at the University of London, and then was introduced by the students of the University of London. Soon many college students around London knew about the game. Under the spontaneous dissemination of the college students, the middle school students and primary school students knew it, and after the teenagers knew about it, Parents and relatives at home also know that there is a very interesting game on the market.

Within a month, Plants vs. Zombies had sold 150,000 game discs in London and surrounding areas.

This kind of sales method that is famous in colleges and then spread to the society spontaneously by students is really genius.

It didn't cost a penny to promote it, and it was making money as soon as it went on sale. It only took William Devonhill half a day to persuade the London manager of Jiarefu to sell game souvenirs at Jiarefu. It sold 6.45 million game peripherals every month.

Is it a genius idea to attract people from top companies such as ea, Ubisoft, Besta, and Jiarefu in one month? Of course,

When I saw that William?? Devon Hill called for a starting sale of 100 million pounds in the data, the shock in my heart was indescribable. I don't know if that game could really sell for 100 million pounds, but in According to the estimates of many game agents, this game will definitely sell 7, 8, or even tens of millions of game discs worldwide.

If a game disc sells for £8, I'd definitely want to buy one and see what kind of game drives young people so crazy.

In addition to selling 430,000 game accessories worth more than 6.25 million pounds in two weeks, I don't know if a company will spend 100 million pounds to sell the full copyright of the game, but I want to tell William?? You can make far more than £100 million if you keep the game in your hands, maybe in a few years this game will become the best and most popular game for England in the world, and it will become the world's most popular game for England. symbols of.

I want to tell William?? Devonhill that maybe it won't be long before Plants vs. Zombies won't be just for you, the sunflowers, pea shooters, hot peppers and other plant images in the game may become our London icons for many years to come , people think of these plants and they think of them in London, they can become the new favorite of London like Mickey Mouse Donald Duck.

William?? Devonhill I beg you don't sell them, don't sell London's new favorites, don't sell the long-awaited expectations of Londoners, it's been too long since England had an export culture that could affect the world, We need it so badly now that he marked the triumph of post-millennial English culture.

Otherwise William Devon Hill you will be a sinner in London.

William was at home listening to his mother Lena sitting on the sofa in a cadence and gleefully reading today's Sun to him. Hearing the last paragraph, Eric couldn't help but yelled at the editor-in-chief of The Sun, "See you a ghost London sign," The damned London needs it, and it is because your Sun newspaper needs to write it like this in order to attract more people to read the paper and attract more controversy.

You're a bum, William can imagine that it won't be long before someone will come out against him for selling the copyright of Plants vs Zombies, maybe some guy from the City of London or something will jump out and shout a few words, it's really a headache. .

Angry returns to anger. William, who has calmed down, thinks about it and forgets it. Although the Sun caught him by surprise this time, it will have a certain impact on his game sales, but relatively speaking, it will benefit William more. I believe this time All England will know that a game is about to sell for 100 million pounds, which will make the game famous faster.

There will be more pressure on a few companies that want to buy games, as new competitors will appear soon.

And after the game becomes famous, it will not only make money from daily necessities such as game discs and t-shirts and hats, but the cartoon images in the game may appear in playgrounds, books, movies and TV, plush toys, and may really become a Take the world by storm like Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.

This is all money. Yesterday, William had to calculate the price of selling 100 million pounds for Bestard, which was eager to go public. After today, it may be that Bestard is in a hurry. Projects that are closely related to the main business are not available every year. If Baishida wants to obtain a higher market value when it goes public in the future, it is impossible to give up this project.

It seems that 100 million really is, William silently secretly rejoiced, I may really become a billionaire in a few days.

Chapter 16 Blocked at Home by Reporters

William looked at his happy mother and felt very satisfied. Today, her mother looked like she was reborn, full of energy and much more talkative than usual. In the future, you don't have to worry about your son's future anymore, and you can live a little easier.

"William, the Sun is really amazing. It only took one day to find out most of our family's situation. Although some of what is said is wrong, it is basically the truth. It's a pity that your mother is a woman and cannot inherit your grandfather's. The title, but it seems that you have a chance to inherit the title of earl, mother heard from your Aunt Mary Hendricks of Oxford, that the Earl of Oxford has worked hard for ten years and no offspring has been born,"

"I don't want it anymore, Mom, it's not like you don't know now.

What are the nobility suppressed in England, now nobility dare not tell people that they are nobility, there is no benefit, and they are restricted everywhere, I don’t know why so many people want to become nobles”

Lina nodded sadly.

"Yeah, if it weren't for the nobility inheritance law, your grandfather wouldn't have borrowed money to inherit the title. Finally, after inheriting the title, he had to sell the family's castle and property to pay back the money. In my generation, no baron will inherit the title. The most unhappy thing about your grandfather is that the title was inherited by that useless distant relative. When your grandfather was sick, he jumped up and down, but so what, gave him ten years, not still Can't have children? The title will still come back to our family" Lina said bitterly.

Seeing his mother's sadness, William quickly persuaded him: "Okay, mother, let's not talk about this, what's the use of talking about it now, let's talk about it when the time comes, and the title is just that, maybe England will cancel the nobility at some point. Now that so many people are against the aristocracy, let's just leave it alone"

Lena patted William angrily and said:

"No, the title must be taken back, William, you were young at that time and could not understand the pain and helplessness of your grandfather, and the title has many benefits, otherwise why do you think the parliament is so deliberate to suppress the nobles? It’s not that I’m afraid that the nobles will get too many benefits.”

"Yes, yes, yes, my mother, you are right, but you don't think that I am not a pure-blood Englishman. If you let me inherit the title, I don't know how many people will object. We are fine now. , you can live the life you want with peace of mind, and our family will be lively after my child is born in a few years."

Hearing William said to let her bring her grandson, Lena complained to William angrily, "Ha, William, I can tell you, you can't bring me grandson now, I'm not ready to be a grandma, I just At 39 years old, I haven't even accepted the fact that you have grown up. Thinking about my going to be a grandma gives me a headache, God, that means I'm getting old."

William thought that there would be a cute baby calling his father in a milky voice in the future. William felt both joy and cold sweat in his heart. William, who had never been a father in his two lifetimes, still didn't know how to face the child, so he hurriedly said, "No. Yes, mom, I'm only 19 years old, I don't even have a girlfriend, how can I be a father?"

Lina heard William say that his girlfriend was worried: "William, it's time for you to have a girlfriend, otherwise the newspapers will definitely say that you are gay"

William nodded in agreement. He is not the taciturn, bookish nerd William he used to read. He is over 30 years old in his heart, but things like making girlfriends should be natural.

Dili dili, William's phone rang, took out the phone and saw that it was Anthony's phone, William got up and walked to the window to answer the call.

"Hello, Anthony"

Anthony's anxious voice came from the phone: "Hello, Mr. Devonhill, have you figured out how to deal with the report of the Sun today, maybe we can send a lawyer's letter to warn them, and they can't be so reckless. "

After thinking about it carefully, William said to Anthony in a serious tone, "Anthony, don't need it for now, today's report is still normal, although it will have some adverse effects on us, but today's report will help us even more, this It's not the time to offend the media. Offending them will be more harmful to us. We need the media to speak well for us. In a few days, the whole world will know about the game Plants vs. Zombies and let them report, as long as it's not deliberately spreading rumors. don't care"

Anthony thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Devonhill, I will do as you said and carefully review the words of each newspaper, then I won't bother you anymore, goodbye Mr. Devonhill"

"Goodbye, Anthony, call me anything"

"OK"

Hanging up the phone, William opened the curtains, and a flash suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and then a flash of flash flashed.

William looked through the window and saw that the outside of his house was now full of reporters.

"Will William, William be interviewed by us?"

"William Devon Hill I'm a reporter for the Times, please accept my interview"

"William, I'm from The Times, can I give you an interview?"

William heard that the Times, the Daily Telegraph, and the Guardian, the biggest newspapers in England, were all lining up, with big heads. These guys came so fast. Looking at these excited expressions outside the house, they kept facing him. The reporter who snapped, William knew that if he didn't go out for an interview today, he wouldn't think about living in peace, and he could just take the reporter's hand and pass on some words that were beneficial to the game.

After thinking about it, the time was right. William said to his mother who approached the window, "Mom, there are too many reporters outside, I'll go send them away."

"Well, when William speaks, be careful not to fall into their traps," Lena urged

"Understood, don't worry mom, I'll pay attention"

After William opened the door and walked out, he stood on the steps in front of the door and smiled at the reporter who was taking pictures.

"Okay, everyone, I accept your interview, but please pay attention to safety. You can ask me three questions. After asking, please all exit the street. You have already affected other residents. Be careful they call the police."

When William said that someone might call the police, the reporters' voices became quieter, but after a while, these guys asked loudly again. For these reporters, they are not afraid of the police, the police just come and go.

"Okay, just three questions, or I refuse to be interviewed, I have the right to refuse" William shouted loudly

Well, it's really William's right to refuse an interview, just

It's like the reporter's right to interview again, but if others don't want to talk to you, you can't pull William, or you can make an announcement.

There are still smart people, William didn't wait for a while to hear someone ask him

"William, I'm a reporter from The Times, Linda, I want to ask you, how did you calculate the 100 million offer you made for yourself? Do you think anyone would buy it at such a high price?"

"You have two questions, ma'am. For the sake of being a ma'am, I don't care about the first question."

"The Sun's report in the morning made it very clear. The game disc alone can sell more than 60 million. After the game became popular, I think there will be no problem in selling more than 100 million every year. Note that I said one year, And this is not counting plush toys, movies, TV books, playgrounds and other peripherals, as well as the game's invisible popularity bonus to copyright companies, all of which are more important for listed companies, and I think the increase in stock price may be due to copyright The purchase is several times or even a dozen times, and now the IT industry is so hot, I now think that if I sell 200 million pounds, many companies will be attracted."
