Chapter 173: Strike at the Wall First, Hit the Wall Later!
According to statistics, among the top 500 companies in the United States, there are 75 foreign CEOs, of which 10 are of Asan descent, but the descendants of the Celestial Dynasty are not on the list. Like the CEOs of Google and Microsoft, they are all Ah San. I have to say that Ah San is really powerful...
There is a story circulating in the IT world that an IT company has hired three interns, namely the Celestial Empire, Ah San and the American. American interns just want to get things done, and leave as soon as they get off work. Although he knows little about some issues, he can talk about them eloquently, and he can talk about problems that can be finished in one minute and can be talked about in five minutes.
Celestial Empire interns work hard, do the most and do the best, but don't like to talk much.
Ah San's intern work is not as fine as the intern of the Celestial Empire, but it is not bad. Although he speaks with an accent, he likes to ask questions and is good at expressing himself. During the internship, it was the Celestial Empire students who learned the most, but in the end, it was the Ah San student who people remembered the most.
Arthur also admits that the world needs capable people, but the world is led by people who can speak well and are knowledgeable, but he still won't choose to hire Ah San, because he doesn't want to suddenly find out one day that his company is full of curry-flavored Ah San...
To tell the truth, as long as Ah San gets up, they will support each other, and this point of holding together is indeed worth learning from some ethnic groups!
However, for start-ups, Chinese people are definitely the first choice, not only have real skills, but also bear hardships and stand hard work, in this regard, Arthur sees it more thoroughly than anyone else, so when he considered the head of the new company, the mobile game studio, he chose Edward without hesitation.
βγγγ Edward, are you familiar with Apple's IOS system and Google's Android system?Can you develop software or games based on these two systems?" After calling Edward, Arthur went straight to the point.
"No problem, after both companies released the SDKs, I downloaded them and tried to develop a few small apps, which was not difficult, but I had not been exposed to developing games before. β
"SDK?" Arthur asked a little confused, well, for him, a pure user who only uses IT products, he really doesn't know the IT terminology, but there is no need to pretend to understand, since he doesn't know, he doesn't mind asking.
"Ahem, sorry, boss, get used to it, SDK refers to the application development kit. β
"It's okay, hehe, Edward, here's the thing, I'm going to set up a mobile game development studio, the birth of the crazy mobile phone, is undoubtedly epoch-making, the development trend of the mobile Internet, needless to say, I believe that professionals like you, know and understand better than me, however, I firmly believe and conclude that the future belongs to the era of mobile Internet.
So, I want to try to be a part of this huge market created by technological change, entertainment is undoubtedly the best and easiest entry point, and I want you to come and help me set up and manage this mobile game studio, which I attach great importance to.
I've got Β£5 million in start-up capital for you, I've got you covered with studio locations, and I've got you all in mind with the idea for the first game to be developed, and I want you to get to London as soon as possible, hire people, get to work, and launch your first mobile game as soon as possible. Questions?"
Arthur said with a smile that in the face of the serious financial pressure that may be generated by various acquisitions and mergers and acquisitions in the future, he had to consider building a cash NAI cow for himself.
And he rummaged through the memories in his head, the business model of being able to invest small, the fastest speed, and making cash steadily, and it seemed that he only thought of the project of mobile games, but he knew better than anyone how many users of smartphones around the world would be in the future, and how bright the future of mobile games would be.
Thinking of those small companies that can be valued at more than a billion dollars with a mobile game, Arthur is envious and jealous.
Because whether it is "Plants vs. Zombies" or "Minecraft", these two games that he himself has been addicted to for a long time in his previous life, have been developed, put on sale, and become popular all over the world before he even wears them.
In particular, "Plants vs. Zombies", which was put on sale in May, with its exquisite graphics and refreshing creativity, Xunsu has become the company's xi golden weapon, and what is even more eye-catching is that after landing on the Apple App Store, it has set a record of more than 300,000 downloads within 9 days, becoming the fastest paid app in the Apple App Store to get $1 million in revenue.
When Arthur saw these news, he was almost jealous, originally, he also wanted to get a game company immediately, and move out of "Angry Birds" in advance, but the bitter thing is that the original company of this game in Finland has been opened and is ready to go public...
If you don't want to be sued for infringement, you can only honestly copy other ideas, plus he was in a hurry to earn the first pot of gold, and the game company's affairs were temporarily put aside by him.
It wasn't until he felt that he didn't have enough money to spend that he remembered again about the mobile game, a nai cow project that can generate a lot of cash flow.
On the other end of the phone, Edward thought for a while, "Okay, boss, I'll hand over the work of the website, go home and pack up and rush to London." β
"Hehe, okay, then I'll wait for you in London, send me the time to London before you leave, and I'll send someone to pick you up. Although Arthur knew that Edward would definitely agree, Arthur was still very satisfied and happy with his quick decision.
After all, Edward and his family had just settled down in Southampton for work, and another phone call from himself dragged him to London, which was indeed a bit inauthentic.
However, Arthur doesn't care about these, he is giving the other party a chance to be alone, for Edward, this is a good opportunity to reach a new level in his career and reach the peak of his life, others can't get this opportunity, how can he miss it, after all, only people in a foreign country really know that survival is not easy, let alone this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
After hanging up the phone, Arthur squinted his eyes slightly and began to think, although he just said on the phone that he had prepared the game idea, it was just a casual remark, of course, this is not difficult for him, a hanger who has opened a hanger in terms of creativity13, to be a porter in the creative world, but because there are too many choices, he hesitates and entangles which one to choose as the masterpiece, and it is easier to make his game studio popular overnight!
Picking up a pen from the pen holder on his desk and dragging over a stack of printer paper, Arthur was the first to list the mobile games he had played in his previous life.
Those such as Angry Birds, which are already in development, naturally want to avoid the 'creative' crash, although Arthur can't remember the specific launch time of some mobile games, but the games he spent the most time playing at that time can still be determined.
For example, the "Stupid Bird Flies First", the originator of parkour games "Temple Run" and several other games, he can ensure his 'creative originality'.
Therefore, Arthur finally decided to take out his dead and alive "Stupid Bird Flies First" in his previous life as the pioneering work of the game studio, after all, this game is simple to make and develop, and the author of the previous life was developed by one person, and it can be guaranteed to be listed as quickly as possible.
Of course, more importantly, this game is enough to give players all over the world an incomparably deep and unforgettable 'impression', so that they can make their game studio's name spread all over the world in a hysterical frenzy of annoyance, resentment, and abuse!
"Hehe, tsk, I still need a loud company name... Arthur looked at the list of games he had listed, the corners of his mouth lifted up, revealing a wicked smile, smashing his mouth and muttering.
"Da Da Da-"
Arthur, who was desperately racking his brains to think of a name for his company with his eyes closed, kept tapping the pen in his hand on the desk, making a very rhythmic sound.
"There it is!" Arthur opened his eyes, his eyes shining brightly, and scribbled a line of letters on the paper with a signature pen.
"Ready Pyer Oneββ Ready Pyer One!"
"Tsk, what a good name... Arthur smiled with great satisfaction, proud that he had come up with such a loud and apt company name.
With the name of the company, Arthur began to concentrate on writing down the game ideas of "Stupid Bird First", using simple lines to sketch out some fragments of the game, and writing down the difficulty, levels, and everything else he thought would be helpful to the development, after all, this was also the first time he wrote ideas for the game.
At the same time, he did not forget to draw out the names, logos, and game images of all the games he listed, and wrote down the general ideas.
Arthur of the chicken thief is ready to register and protect this stack of ideas, names, logos, and images, and when the time comes, it is really too late to develop, and he is hit by other companies, and he can sue the other party to bankruptcy!
