Chapter 671: A game company equivalent to a money printing machine
"The aircraft has three floors, which are connected by a luxurious spiral staircase and a dedicated elevator at your and Miss Ivana's request.
At your request, all seats in the cabin have been removed, and there are several fully functional suites in the fuselage, as well as a surreal, high-tech presidential suite, with a large seat belt on the master bedroom cushion to protect you when the plane is turbulent, and an oxygen mask on the roof.
A high-tech conference room used to hold international conferences, the entire desktop can be used with a touch screen according to Ivana's request, like an oversized crazy mobile phone.
A professional concert hall with a capacity of 10 listeners allows you to enjoy listening to music in the air during your trip.
The decoration of the aircraft is made of special materials, and although it looks similar to ordinary furniture, it is actually much lighter. Not only are they very lightweight, they are fastened with latches, but they also need to be able to withstand pressure so that they don't collapse in the event of cabin decompression or forced landing.
This is the airplane bathroom, the water flow rate will be the same as on the ground even if it is high in the air, the floor and ceiling and bulkhead will be inlaid with a huge screen to enjoy the scenery outside the cabin, the super luxury bathtub, when the time comes, you can lie in the bathtub and enjoy the white clouds in the sky. ”
The person in charge of Green Dot Technology Company pointed to the separated areas to introduce Andy, Andy saw that the spiral stairs and elevators had been loaded, and the bright black and bright white main colors were the main colors, but he was quite deep in his heart, he didn't like the local tyrant like CP.
However, I heard that Ivana had a special instruction that the dining room, toilet, and bathroom would have a gold leaf decoration style, and Andy could only shake his head helplessly and laugh.
Overall, the ultimate luxury of the cabin interior reaches a new level, with a granite galley, all components and cabinets inside the cabin being couture and made of the finest materials.
"What about the security system?" asked Andy after a deep sigh.
"This is Tony, the aircraft's security systems engineer, let him introduce you. ”
"Hello, Mr. Smith, I'm Tony, the head of the security system, and in terms of security, this aircraft uses the world's most advanced defenses, such as encrypted communication lines, and even the effects of electromagnetic pulses caused by nuclear explosions. In addition, in-flight refueling equipment and anti-surface-to-air systems are added. Enjoy the same level of security as Air Force One. ”
Andy heard the other party's explanation, and nodded, this is the first time he saw the real thing after determining the private jet model and design plan, Boeing wants to use this as a model, focusing on luxury models, so the cabin design is very elegant, and he is also very satisfied.
After turning around inside and out, he asked about the delivery time, which made Andy feel a little disappointed, and he thought about it during the year, it seems that it will really take some time to sit in this palace in the sky, and it will be February next year at the earliest.
The Boeing aircraft assembly factory is a successful end, and Andy also has a deep experience in the process of buying, perhaps when he looks up at his own Boeing 747, the pride and comfort in his heart can realize the fun of spending money, and sigh that there is a rich real Nima Shuang!
Of course, this kind of local tyrant's thinking naturally can't be expressed, but instead has to pretend to be indifferent, it seems that it should be like this, or it's not bad, I am temporarily satisfied with the appearance of pretending, reflecting his profound heritage.
In fact, in the upper class society of various countries, the rich people also have serious anxiety disorders, and the comparison has never been broken, otherwise there would not be the most refreshed yacht faster and faster.
It didn't take long to fly from Seattle to San Francisco, and after lunch, two hours after getting on the plane, Andy got off the plane and headed straight for Mockingjay Games.
in the conference room.
"Minecraft has earned $80 million in the past 12 months since its launch. After tax payment, various cost deductions, and taking into account the depreciation problem, the net profit was 13.5 million US dollars. Considering that the current version of the game is not yet the full version, if we wait for the official version to be released, I believe that our profits will be further expanded. ”
Andy listened to the report of Ricaunting Bird Games' CEO Blair, and the smile on his face became more and more remarkable, and a new game with a beginner version, almost a beta version, was undoubtedly very successful in achieving such a profit in the first year.
"Normally a game will drop after its first year of release, but I'm sure it won't happen with our games!
Naturally, everyone in the conference room would not be stupid to ask or answer directly, and they all looked at the young and handsome boss with a happy and calm smile on his face with a focused expression, and listened to his answer.
"The joy of creating and destroying, the player never gets tired, and Minecraft is a game with a lot of sustainable appeal.
It is a game that allows humans to experience real existence, not only to experience the fun of being a king, but also to take on the responsibility of managing the world. Our ancestors survived this creation and remnant, and this ancestral precept is now on the computer screen, but it is equally applicable to reality.
Similarly, Minecraft also tells the entire game industry that as long as the game is well designed, the value of the game can be raised from play to the height of human society.
That's the real value of this game!"
Andy's words moved the members of the Minecraft development team one by one, and to be honest, the game has become a favorite of everyone in the entire game company, especially since the company has set up a server in-house, and the whole company has started to play online mode first.
You must know that the online mode is a new way to play the official version, and it is not yet available, but the potential of this online mode is huge.
The previous Minecraft player was at the center of the entire game world, with no one to interfere with. This also leads to the fact that there is no winner or loser in this game, only to say: who is the most talented in construction and who is the most ingenious in design. And the player's creation and possession make the whole game full of endless fun and freedom, once you get started, you can't put it down.
The online mode allows the interaction between players to inject new vitality and charm into the game.
Coupled with the company's unsparing publicity and promotion, this game has become a hot mess. Countless players have created amazing creations and uploaded them to video sites to share with others, especially with the addition of a patch to the company's website, Minecraft has opened up public construction projects and players can visit places such as the pyramids, the Taj Mahal, and New York City, which has made the comparison even more enthusiastic.
"After the official version goes on sale, Blair, you can contact Marvel's toy company to fill the loophole in the development of peripheral products, clothing, cups, all kinds of gadgets, the most important thing is to develop toys assembled like Lego, the price grade is good, don't let the price of the whole series of peripheral products be too high, what we want is influence. ”
Andy said to Blair on the right-hand side beside him: "We also need to prepare through multiple channels." It makes it easier for players to buy products and the price is not too high. ”
"I know the boss, the company's planning department is already preparing, and the next is the data of "Zombie", the highest weekly sales have reached $1 million from the app that has been added to the crazy phone, which is a miracle. ”
Noticing that all the subordinates in the conference room were looking at him with admiration, Andy couldn't help but smile faintly.
Toby from Under the Legend reported on the game's progress, and Andy knew that he needed to make the game's main system smarter, make it more difficult for the player, and make the game live longer.
Because the research on the 3D game engine is progressing very well, the game "Demon's Souls", which "kills novice players in various ways and in various places", also completed the game art work and began to start programming.
"Because Facebook has been helping to promote it, the revenue over the past period has reached almost $8 million a month... This is also the only money-making project of Facebook, Xiao Mazi has called more than once, wanting to buy out "Happy Farm", how can Andy give away the cash cow unless he exchanges it for Facebook's shares.
