Chapter 1683 Crazy Game
There is no free lunch in the world. If you stay still, you will retreat. But to move forward, you must be willing to make decisions and take risks.
In Andy's view, he gave people the opportunity to choose, which is the greatest help. You must know that opportunities are the rarest things in the world.
People become rich because of opportunities. When they look at the poor, they can know that they are not incompetent fools, they are not not working hard, they are suffering from lack of opportunities.
We live in the jungle where the strong and strong prey on the weak. Here, we either eat people or are eaten by others. Escape from risks is almost absent. If we make good use of the opportunities, the opportunities of others will be reduced accordingly, so that we can better protect ourselves and even become predators.
In this world, optimistic people will always see opportunities in suffering, while pessimistic people will only see suffering in opportunities.
If you believe in me, you will be born!
Andy said this not just a joke, because he knew that what he said was true, and the US stock market would really rebound in early March...
He told the truth without reservation this time. If the people still cannot seize this opportunity, then no one can help them, and they deserve to be poor!
Maybe I think this is unfair, after all, no one knows that Andy Smith is traveling through time and knows the future.
Unfortunately, there has never been any fairness in this world!
"This is the rendering of the future Mockingbird Games headquarters..."
On the edge of a busy construction site, Andy gently held Ivana's waist and pointed to the drawings unfolded by two staff members.
"Well, a good design." Ivana, who was flamingly red, nodded slightly, looked at the design renderings, and praised.
"Ivana"
"Ivana"
At this moment, a noise came from afar. Andy frowned slightly, and he and Ivana turned sideways and looked in the direction where the sound came.
More than a dozen paparazzi reporters were stopped by a group of bodyguards, but the group of paparazzi reporters did not give up. They kept shouting, and several were holding cameras and pressing the shutter.
"Why are there these guys everywhere?" Andy complained angrily. He had never been shaken away since he and Ivana were stuck with by this group of paparazzi.
"Forget it, it's not easy for them. They have been following them for several days..." As he said that, Ivana reached out and smiled at the paparazzi and waved, but he did not go over to accept their interviews and photos. After all, they are all strange paparazzi. They give them too much face, so they won't stop when they see it. What paparazzi is best at is provoking, angering the parties involved, and then making big news.
The paparazzi in the distance saw a tight short skirt wearing a black shawl, outlining the prominent belly and wearing high heels, which looked very slender and fair. Even when pregnant, Ivana smiled and waved to them.
"...She is so beautiful!" A reporter who took the photo of Ivana's smile and waved his hand looked through the photos in the camera, sighed sincerely, and immediately raised the camera again to point the two people in the distance and started taking pictures.
The other paparazzi shouted and shouted more happily, pressing the camera shutter in their hands, hoping to attract the attention of Ivana and Andy and be able to shoot at close range.
To be honest, Andy and Ivana are really convinced.
The story of the two is particularly eye-catching from the very beginning, a super rich man from a family and a daughter of a New York real estate tycoon.
From their appearance to their background, they are all a match, with all kinds of matches, talented men and beautiful women. Who can not be amazed by such a combination?
An excellent person is a dazzling spark. When you meet a partner who is as good as you, you will naturally bring out a better light!
Especially when the two of them appear at the same time, they are intimate with their fingers tightly clasped and painted like glue. Ivana's face is so happy that it makes women in the United States envious and jealous.
"Let's go, don't pay attention to them." Andy reached out to hold Ivana, hurriedly supported her, and turned around and walked towards the convoy not far away.
Ivana chuckled with a pursed lips, her beautiful eyes flashed and looking at Andy's side face, and said softly: "Where are we going now?"
"Go to the Mockingbirds Games Headquarters."
Ivana's beautiful eyes lit up. To be honest, she had wanted to visit Mockingbird Games Company. When she went there last time, she was just a small company with more than a dozen kittens. After two years of development, Mockingbird Games Company has long been a newcomer in the gaming industry with a valuation of billions of dollars. Even in the economic crisis, I learned from Andy that the profit last year was as high as more than 800 million US dollars, which is simply a money printing machine!
Ivana still cannot forget that Andy showed off her jokingly, and the game "Minecraft" is making money all over the world at a rate of 240,000 euros a day...
Although the monthly revenue of the two free games such as Angry Birds and Plants vs. Zombies is only a few million US dollars, the sales of its derivatives have begun to make efforts, whether it is T-shirts, baseball caps, etc., are recruiting franchisees all over the world. I believe that the háo stream that will continue to be a popular world in the game will definitely be another profit growth point.
"...No, I thought it was crazy to make 240,000 euros per day in Minecraft. Candy Legend is really so profitable? I make millions of dollars a day?"
Looking at Ivana's fussy look, Andy smiled and took her into her arms, stroked her back gently, and said with a smile: "Haha, it's not that exaggerated, and it's impossible to make millions of dollars every day. What I'm talking about is the highest daily sales amount. However, although it can't guarantee a million dollars every day, hundreds of thousands are fine. You also know how attractive "Candy Legend" is to you women."
To be honest, Andy was very surprised when he saw this from the company's briefing. He didn't expect that "Candy Legend" that has just been launched every few months will be so popular. You know, this mobile game is the most scammed free mobile game with "sales props".
As a planner, Andy naturally made money for this game and knew that this game would be very popular, but she didn't expect it to be so popular. After all, it was just a casual game, earning one million dollars a day, which not only surprised Andy and was very happy, but also shocked the entire industry.
Under such a trend, the profit of 800 million last year was really not much. You should know that there are still several games that Mockingbird Games Company to go public this year. In addition to the popular games now, the profits in 2009 will definitely exceed 1 billion. If derivatives and promotions are done well, it will be even 2 billion US dollars.
"This is a beautiful era!" Andy sighed sincerely.
The advent of the smartphone era has set off a revolution in mobile phone hardware, and has also ushered in explosive development of various mobile app applications and mobile games. The higher the popularity of mobile phones, the more money the related service providers will make.
When the executives of the game company learned that the boss brought the boss's wife to inspect, they naturally did not dare to neglect them. Not to mention that Westerners would not show off. Although the employees from all over the company did not need to be greeted by the company, the executives would not really dare to ignore the boss and the boss's wife.
"...This is Joyce, the development team leader of "Candy Legend" you like." Andy smiled and introduced the four female mobile game engineers among the executives to Ivana.
To be honest, Ivana was also very surprised when she saw four female programmers in the crowd, and she heard that she was the leader of various development teams. You should know that there has always been a small number of female software developers, especially in people's stereotypes, their work ability and education levels are easily questioned.
In fact, family environment, school education, and marriage life have greatly affected the life path of female software developers.
In the game industry, which is dominated by men, female *** developers are in a weak situation in the entire industry. Of course, with the rapid development of the mobile game industry, game developers continue to join, and more and more female *** developers have become new highlights, but in general, they still seem a bit thin in the overall environment.
"Only women understand women." Andy looked at Ivana, who was very happy to chat with four female subordinates, and smiled at the other subordinates beside him, "Let them lead the game research and development and design work, and with their keen insight, they can accurately capture women's preferences, so that the game can win the favor of female players is undoubtedly a tried and tested trick."
