Chapter 278: It's Not My Heart Is Black
Poofโ"
"Hehe, I can be regarded as a landlord by speculating in a house!"
After Oliver left with the task, Arthur, who was lazily leaning back in the boss's chair, let out a puff of smoke and said to himself with a self-deprecating chuckle.
The most depressing thing in the world is that it is not the same as I expected, and it is very different.
In the eyes of many people, most speculators make a difference and leave, and then look for the next investment hotspot. However, there are still some speculators who can't sell their houses at all after buying them, and finally can only become landlords, renovate their houses and prepare to start renting out.
Of course, his so-called landlord is completely different from those investors whose money is locked up and speculates on real estate and becomes landlords, he never thought about making short-term profits from the beginning, after all, each country has its own situation, and not all people in all countries have the kind of fanatical land and family property worship that has existed since ancient times, and the deep-rooted concept of 'making money at the end and keeping it by the original'.
"Renting for a lifetime" is very common and widely recognized in many Western countries.
In Arthur's opinion, being a landlord is actually quite good, after all, the house is his own, and he can repay the loan by renting, and the most important thing is that the house price has been rising!
Even if you sell the house you just bought for a short time, you can make a profit, but you may not be able to buy a good house. So, in that case, why not just wait and see and put the house out there, and there won't be any cost pressure.
"Knock-"
"Come in!"
"Boss, Mr. Edward has arrived. โ
"Let him in. Arthur put the cigar in his hand on the stand of the crystal ashtray, smiled at Edward who walked in with the secretary, and said, "Sit down first, what to drink and tell her." โ
"Good morning, boss, thank you. After greeting Arthur first, Edward turned to the secretary and smiled, "A cup of coffee, thank you." โ
"Okay, wait a minute. โ
Arthur watched the secretary leave, and Edward sat down on the opposite side, then picked up a cigar and smiled and said, "Come?"
"Thank you owner, I don't smoke. Edward smiled and refused.
"It's not a cigarette... Arthur shook his head and smiled, took one out of the drawer and handed it to Edward and said, "Authentic Havana cigars, cigars are a work of art, they are rich in culture, tasting cigars is a very enjoyable thing, you can do it in the way you like."
My father once said that a cigar is a living organism that can hear, see and feel... โ
Saying this, Arthur couldn't help but shake his head and chuckled, "However, I still don't feel that it has any life. Hehe. โ
"Huh. Edward took the cigar and was amused by Arthur's teasing, and under Arthur's gaze, he took the match, lit it, and gently roasted the cigar, then lit it and took a puff.
"Ahem... โ
Looking at Edward, who was choked, Arthur smiled and said, "After smoking these, you will fall in love with them... โ
With that, Arthur took out the box of Havana cigars in the drawer and pushed it directly in front of Edward, which made Edward a little flattered and thanked: "Thank you, boss." โ
Seeing that Edward didn't refuse, Arthur smiled and said, "Tell me, how is the situation in the studio recently?"
"It's going well, the development of Fruit Knight is progressing well, and it is certain that it will be launched on schedule according to the plan... Edward reported with a smile in his cigar.
"At your direction, we hired Justin Bieber and Mildew to shoot a promotional video about the Stupid Bird Flying First, and when it hit the market, the response was overwhelming, and the game's downloads skyrocketed. โ
"Well, that's good, it looks like the two million dollars weren't in vain, hehe. Arthur teased with a smile, and Edward shook his head and smiled.
Seriously, at that time, it cost two million dollars to sign these two popular American singers, and the opinions within the studio were still very unanimous, and at least half of the staff thought it was a waste.
However, Arthur insisted on his decision against public opinion, but changed the endorsement agreement of the two people slightly, from a single game to an endorsement for the entire game studio, and what Arthur didn't expect was that neither Justin Bieber nor Mildew's agent objected and gladly accepted the endorsement contract.
This makes Arthur very happy, but he knows how popular these two will be in the future, they are definitely world phenomenal superstars, and the endorsement fee of one million a year is simply a big advantage, and more importantly, the contract period this time is signed for five years.
Maybe now the two of them are just becoming popular in North America, and the million endorsement fee is actually quite good endorsement contracts in their respective hands, so both Bieber and Mildew attach great importance to this endorsement, not only really becoming fans of the game Stupid Bird Flying, but also consciously exchanging experiences and interacting with fans on Facebook and YouTube from time to time to compare scores, so that the download volume of Stupid Bird Fly First in North America has grown explosively.
Moreover, most of the players added this time are teenagers, you know, if you can become popular among teenagers, it will quickly become a popular element, and more importantly, the consumer group of this age group is the main target group of major corporate advertising.
As a result, the advertising space of the game was sold out, and the profits generated by such a completely free mobile game are calculated in days, and now no one is complaining about the two million dollars in endorsement fees in vain.
โใใใ At present, the number of downloads of the game has exceeded 50 million, ranking first in the list of new game downloads, and the daily profit has officially exceeded $100,000. โ
"Hehe, this is the real daily gold!" Arthur said with a smile on his face. With this game studio, which can be used as a cash N cow as a backing, Arthur can really breathe a sigh of relief.
Don't look at this period of time, he has made a lot of money with a hammer in the east and an ax in the west, but his ambition and layout are also big, a radish and a pit, and the big money he earns has its own use and whereabouts, and the funds left in his hands are not even one-tenth of the total.
What a yacht, what a private jet... For the current Arthur, although it is not far away, he really does not dare to spend extravagantly, and the cash in his hand is used for emergencies to prevent the problem of capital chain breakage, so he, a billionaire, is really short of cash.
Now, if nothing else, a game can bring him 100,000 dollars a day, and if he has a few more, he can really be relaxed and happy, playing and playing, and swimming in the business sea without any worries.
"This is an idea that I came up with some time ago, I roughly painted it, these are creative ideas, the picture must be gorgeous... These stars have to shine, soap bubbles have to be realistic... โ
Arthur took out a stack of drawings from his briefcase, unfolded them on his desk, and began to explain to him the development ideas and precautions of this casual puzzle mobile game he named "Cut the Rope" under Edward's surprised gaze.
"My request is that when you enter the game's reading screen, you should use a paper cutter to cut the carton from the bottom up, and when you exit, you should show the animation of the carton being resealed from the top down. WHILE THESE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GAME, PLAYERS WILL ALSO KNOW THAT THIS GAME HAS BEEN DESIGNED BY OUR HEARTS...
At the moment, I'm thinking of making seventeen themed level boxes, each with twenty-five levels, and when you go back, you all want to have an innovative physics puzzle, enrich the game's puzzle library, add superpowers, and props.
This game not only has to charge but also sells props.,Don't look at me like that.,It's not that I'm black-hearted.,What can be guaranteed is that after a purchase.,You can pour into our endless stream of free upgrades.,Every time there are new levels and anime.ใใใ โ
ARTHUR LOOKED AT EDWARD'S SOMEWHAT STRANGE GAZE AND A LOOK OF YU WHO STOPPED TALKING, AND COULDN'T HELP BUT SHAKE HIS HEAD AND EXPLAIN WITH A SMILE.
