Lin Qi played for a while and found that he was fascinated and didn't even think about the passage of time. Look at the people around you, except for the bodyguards who are more competent and are on guard around them. And the secretary is less than, has forgotten that the boss is by his side, and has been playing.

I have to say that Bushnell's name this time is very creative.

"Simulated Restaurant" is to better fit the Chuck Cheese brand, and over the years, although Bushnell has always been concerned about the game, he has gradually developed feelings for Chuck Cheese.

This affection is given by countless customers.

Almost all of the customers who came were regulars from the nearby community, and they witnessed the growth of Chuck Cheese step by step, and many of them became employees of Chuck Cheese.

"Wow, I've unlocked the operation of the hotel, which is still a 4 star hotel. ”

"George, don't get complacent, look at what this is, I've unlocked the hidden reward of the Grand Budapest Hotel. ”

"The Grand Budapest Hotel? where is this, how did I not find out. ”

"It's a hidden benefit, and the better you run, the more you can unlock it, so you can't be half-hearted. ”

The scene became lively for a while, and many people came over to see what the hidden level was.

"Mr. Lin, you can try. Xiao Xiao was also infected, which aroused his competitive spirit, but he was obviously much more familiar with Lin Qi's operation just now, so he gave it to Lin Qi at the moment.

Lin Qi is also not welcome, for such a business game, he was a master when he was in college.

Lin Qi's fingers wandered quickly, and at this time he also forgot his identity, but he was just a man who loved to play games.

"Big tankers, hotels at sea, is this also a hidden welfare checkpoint?"

When Lin Qi's screen burst into a burst of light, the entire restaurant shook, and even the children gathered around.

Lin Qi was also a little surprised, although he had played a lot of business games, such a thing was still rare.

Ordinary business simulation games will greatly enrich their reward system, once you complete a fixed goal, you can get rewards. -

Bushnell seems to have put a lot of thought into using hidden operations to motivate players.

"Hello sir, we want to leave your plan for further refinement of Chuck cheese, I don't know if it's okay. ”

The manager of this store was originally watching from behind, but at this time, he had an idea and quickly realized that something was wrong.

For the manager of a store, in addition to the necessary business skills, it is also a special test of adaptability.

So don't look at this position usually has nothing to do, once an emergency occurs, the store manager must be able to stand up and solve the dispute between the customer and the restaurant perfectly.

"Absolutely. “

Lin Qi nodded and gave up his position, he also owned the shares of this store, but he was only as an equity holder and did not interfere with the operation.

The manager got a camera from somewhere, and soon hung the picture on the wall.

"Starting today, there will be a contest every Sunday about the management of 'Simulated Restaurant', and the winner will receive a free day and a commemorative gift from the restaurant. ”

The store manager announced in a high-profile manner, which immediately mobilized the enthusiasm of everyone, many people made cheers, and the children were even more noisy.

When Lin Qi and Xiao checked out, the manager declined the tip and expressed his loyal gratitude.

"Your move today has given me a very good inspiration, and I can't tip today. ”

Lin Qi smiled and took back the tip, this is just a different cultural way, so he naturally doesn't have to refuse.

"By the way, you are so good at playing games, you can come to our store every week in the future, and we can reduce all your expenses by half. ”

The manager's mind turned quickly, and he saw a business opportunity from Lin Qi's body, and having this god to play the game was equivalent to driving the enthusiasm of other customers for free.

Of course, he will not be afraid that the store will be overcrowded, and he will exchange the ordinary meal money for the effect brought by Lin Qi, how to calculate this account and how cost-effective.

Lin Qi looked at the manager a little, this guy's brain was spinning fast, and he actually wanted him to make money.

"That's not going to work, we're just here for a while. Less than amused looking at the manager.

If he knew who the man in front of him was, he would have been frightened.

You know, even though Chuck Cheese is not a company founded by Lin Qi, Lin Qi still owns 33% of the shares.

"Manager, he seems to be Lin Qi, Boss Lin?" a Chinese employee quietly pulled the sleeve of his boss to signal.

"Lin Qi, which Lin Qi?" the manager paused, but didn't react for a while.

"It is the Lin BOSS you know, the founder of the New Venture Electronics Group, a world-renowned investor, and the second shareholder Lin Qi on the public statements of Chuck Cheese's listed companies. Xiao Xiao was a little dissatisfied, and coupled with his admiration for Lin Qi, he naturally thought that Lin Qi should be known to everyone.

However, Lin Qi is also very famous now, and almost everyone in the business world knows about his actions in the American market.

But for such a manager, it may not be known.

"I'm sorry, it turned out to be Mr. Lin, and I missed it. After a small click, the manager quickly rang, patted his head, and hurriedly apologized.

It's not surprising that most Americans don't have that global perspective, basically, very few at least other countries' place names, companies, histories, and even world historical geography are not clear, basically, think that the United States is the world.

People in many countries around the world know a bunch of famous American companies and celebrities.

However, the vast majority of Americans do not remember celebrities from other countries at all.

Lin Qi is such a famous person, I'm sorry...... Even so, so what? Proud Americans, even if they have heard the name of Lin Qi, even think that they are inferior to Peter Lynch, who speculated in stocks in his own country.

Lin Qi waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I am a foreigner, I have not been to the United States much, and the employees can work, there is no need to know who the major shareholder and the second shareholder of the company are." ”

The manager nodded hurriedly, knowing that the person in front of him was actually one of the original investment founders of Chuck Cheese, he was extremely excited in his heart, and it was a very bright thing to be able to get Lin Qi's affirmation.

He hurriedly beckoned to the clerk behind him and signaled that he wanted to take a photo with Lin Qi.

In fact, it wasn't this manager who ignored Lin Qi at all, just because of the language and cultural barrier, and he didn't recognize him at first. After recognizing it, it is inevitable to rub the heat.

Lin Qi was a little crying and laughing.

……

Three days later, the whole media suddenly turned around, and all boasted that "Restaurant Sim" was an unprecedented creative game, not just a game, but also entertaining and educational, teaching many people economic common sense and truth.

All of a sudden, it brought a frenzy of national entertainment, and many people flocked to Chuck Cheese.

In just a few days, the store was extremely hot, even on ICBC Day, it was overcrowded, and the managers of the stores were almost laughing and bending over.

Subsequently, Bushnell announced the establishment of a new game company, Nolan Bushnell Games, with a private investment of 20 million US dollars, accounting for 20% of the shares.

Originally, Bushnell felt that it was not bad for money, but after thinking about it, he decided to give Lin Qi 20% of the equity. After all, with Lin Qi's optimistic banner, new game companies are more likely to be favored by investors, and it will be more convenient to raise funds in the future.

Later, he met with Steve Jobs, who also invested $5 million in Nolan Bushnell Games in the name of New Apple.

Later, Nolan Bushnell announced: "The arcade version of 'Restaurant Sim' is just a test of the waters, and the corrected console version will be released separately on the new Apple's NTV TV entertainment platform, and the Pangu version will be released later!"

As soon as this news came out, the whole United States knew that Nolan Bushnell's return to the game industry was an unstoppable trend!

To be famous, he is famous, the father of video games, and this title is enough to attract countless people to join.

To have capital, Nolan Bushnell has started two businesses before, each time with greater returns. Although Atari kicked him out, the cost was also $100 million, which was considered his entrepreneurial return.

And now Chuck Cheese has made Nolan Bushnell's worth fluctuate around more than a billion or even two billion dollars.

In addition, there is no shortage of contacts and channels, as long as the game is not bad, then Nolan Bushnell will definitely become a game giant!

The console platform may not be able to do it, but as long as the content is done well and can be distributed across platforms, then there will be a huge market share!

You know, the market size of software software is still far more than that of other industry software!
