CHAPTER XXIV
Wu Ming followed Huo Jianning around the game hall.
"Okay, you've been dead three times, it's my turn, hurry up. ”
A strong man with a black dragon tattoo on his body keeps patting the shoulder of a lewd-looking thin man in the arcade seat of "Great Wall Cube".
"Let me play again, I haven't played enough!" said the thin man, who was about to bend down and continue to play with coins.
The strong man with the black dragon tattoo pulled the thin man's arm and pulled him up.
"You still play, everyone can only play three times in a row, and if you lose, you go to the queue. It's the rule, don't you understand? Get up for me. ”
Because there are too many people who want to play, in order to prevent some people from continuing to occupy a machine and not letting go, Huo Jianning made a rule that everyone can only invest three coins in a row, and if they lose, they have to continue to queue up.
The thin man was also angry when he was pulled by the strong man with the black dragon tattoo like this, and stood up and pushed the strong man away. Threatened: "Don't you know that I'm from Toeisha, do you want me to kill you?"
The strong man with the black dragon tattoo also smiled, and said contemptuously: "I don't care what Dongying Club does you have, I only know that I am a person from He'antang, and if you want to fight, I will accompany you, I'm afraid you won't succeed." ”
said that the two of them were about to get angry.
"Stop, this is not a place for you to go wild. ”
At this time, a security guard walked over and separated the two men. Then he looked at the strong man with the black dragon tattoo: "Black boy, why did you come to our Galaxy Century Video Game City to make trouble again, I let you go last time, do you want me to send you to the police station to see Ah Sir this time?"
The strong man who was called a black boy by the security guard smiled when he saw that the security guard was also flattering, and said: "Brother Lin, isn't this kid dominating the machine and not letting go, he has already lost three times, and he still wants to continue playing." I can't stand it, you ask the person next to you if that's the case. ”
Although most of the people next to him were ordinary people, they didn't dare to provoke these gang members.
But there were also some people from other small gangs playing here, and they immediately chimed in: "What the black boy said is right, this kid is new and doesn't understand the rules." ”
The security guard named Brother Lin heard them all say this, and then looked at the expressions of approval on the faces of those ordinary people, and knew in his heart that this was indeed the case.
"Blackboy, forget it this time. The next time you come to our security guard and say that we will help you customers solve it, don't be reckless and have to solve it yourself. ”
The black boy also repeatedly said that he did not dare to object.
After educating the black boy, the security guard turned to look at the thin man and said, "We have our rules here, don't treat this place as your own home." Black Box also said just now that a person can only play three times in a row. If you lose, go back to the queue. This time, you are a newcomer, forget it, and don't blame us for being polite next time you make trouble like this. ”
The thin man listened to the security guard's Mandarin accent that was different from Xiangjiang dialect, and he knew that the security guard was from the mainland. Looking at the security guard's swarthy face, those bright eyes flashed with a strong gaze, and sometimes exuded a wolf-like murderous aura. It is understood that this is a veteran from the mainland.
Looking around, there were three or four more such security guards. immediately admitted it and stammered: "Big, big guy, I was wrong this time, and I won't do it again next time." ”
After saying that, the thin man hurriedly ran out of the crowd and left the Galaxy Century Video Game City.
Now these gang members in Xiangjiang are indeed quite arrogant and often bully ordinary people, but they are still very afraid of some ruthless people from the mainland.
In the past, there were conflicts between small gangs and people from the mainland, and the result ended with the demise of that small gang.
Therefore, most of the gangs in Xiangjiang are afraid of these ruthless people from the mainland. Even those big gangs will not interfere with the river water from the well, and they will not provoke those from the mainland casually.
Seeing that the person concerned had already run away, the security guard did not pursue it anymore and left in front of the arcade to let everyone continue playing.
Seeing that the matter had been resolved, the people around them dispersed and continued to play the game enthusiastically.
Wu Ming watched the development of the whole thing from the side, frowned, and asked in a slightly heavy tone: "Uncle Jianning, does this often happen to us?"
Huo Jianning immediately replied: "When it first opened, this kind of thing did happen often. But since I went to the Toy Factory owned by Dole Toys and brought in a few security guards, it hasn't happened much. Some of those who forcibly caused trouble were also sent to the police station. ”
Wu Ming was also relieved to hear Huo Jianning say this, after all, they are a regular game hall here, and it is not good for such things to happen, so the guests will not have a sense of security, so they will not come here to play.
"Didn't the gangs behind them make trouble?"
Hearing this, Huo Jianning also frowned.
"Not really, after all, those gangs also know that we have some strength. It's just that the gangs also want to buy arcade machines for Great Wall Blocks and Snake from us. Because of the lack of production, and I am afraid that they will affect the business of our Galaxy Century Video Game City, I have not agreed to them for the time being. ”
Wu Ming thought for a while and replied: "This is not a way, in the future, they will see that "Great Wall Cube" and "Snake" are so popular here, and they will definitely come again, maybe they will take risks." In the future, if you have any excess, sell them to them, after all, our company was supposed to sell arcade machines, and selling them to anyone is also selling. ”
Huo Jianning sighed and said, "That's true, but in the future, when those gang members see that the game hall is so profitable, it is estimated that the game hall in the entire Xiangjiang will bloom everywhere." At that time, we will not be able to monopolize the game hall market in Xiangjiang. ”
Wu Ming looked at Huo Jianning strangely, and said suspiciously: "When did I say that I was going to monopolize the game hall in Xiangjiang." ”
Huo Jianning looked at Wu Ming dumbfounded.
"Didn't you mean that all along? I think you value the game hall so much, and you thought you wanted to monopolize the game hall in Xiangjiang. ”
Wu Ming smiled and replied: "I attach great importance to the game hall, I just want to have some places to investigate, how the games developed by our company will be evaluated among players in the future." After all, a self-operated game hall is definitely a little more convenient than a game hall opened by others. Instead of wanting to monopolize the game hall in Xiangjiang. ”
After a pause, Wu Ming continued: "Moreover, the future reputation of the game hall will definitely not be too good, there will definitely be children who will come to play secretly, and then public opinion should criticize us for opening a game hall with a bad social atmosphere." It's better for us to keep a low profile. “
"In the future, our game halls will be developed into green game halls to ensure a good environment and limit the time for some children to play games. So that those who don't want to go to those messy arcades will come to us. Although you may earn a little less, you won't be scolded so much. “
"After all, Xiangjiang is also a small place, and you can't make much money by opening a game hall. In the future, we will make more money from developing a game than these game halls, and it is better to get some good reputation. ”
Huo Jianning also understood Wu Ming's thoughts at this time, and was very happy that he didn't follow the wrong person. Not only do you know how to make money, but you also know how to improve your reputation.
Those who are bent on getting into the eyes of money, after all, not many people will like it.
Huo Jianning said a good news at this time.
"By the way, the electronic pet machine has been developed. Several styles, whether it is the appearance on the outside or the function on the inside, are no different from your design drawings. After testing, some minor issues were resolved. Now it is ready for production. ”
Wu Ming was also very happy to hear that the electronic pet machine had been developed.
"Very good! Uncle Jianning, you will go to Duole Toy Company tomorrow to discuss with my father how to produce electronic pet machines, and they should be produced as soon as possible, and the first batch should be at least 100,000. I'll discuss with my dad tonight, and the material fee and OEM fee will be delivered later. ”
Huo Jianning replied: "I know, tomorrow I will go to Duole Toy Company to discuss this matter with the chairman." ”
Wu Ming continued: "Don't be idle, the gang of Xingchen Entertainment have already developed the electronic pet machine, and then it's time to study the cube machine." The mini-games I left behind can also be ported to arcade and home consoles, and while they're not as good as Great Wall Blocks and Snake, they're still better. Enrich our range of arcade products and game cartridges. ”
"Well, I see, they're actually working on a block machine right now. The last time I brought them to the game hall, I saw that our company's games were so popular in the game hall, and they were all full of energy and ready to do a big job!"
"Then next time, you have to reward them well, rewards and punishments are clearly necessary for a company. ”
Then the two chatted again and left the Galaxy Century Video Game City.
On the way home, Wu Ming, who was sitting in the car, was chatting with Huo Jianning, thinking of those gang members.
In Xiangjiang, it is inevitable to deal with those gang members. Although Wu Ming's family is already considered rich, they still have not fully entered the upper class of Xiangjiang. Those in the upper class can never be disturbed by the gangs, but not their families.
In the past, Wu Mingjia had no conflict of interest with those gang members. Now that the Star Entertainment Game Company is about to grow and develop, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be any gang that will look at the interests of the game hall and let Star Entertainment sell them arcade machines cheaply. When the time comes, it's not good to sell cheaply, and it's not good to sell it cheaply.
Fortunately, Wu Ming recently heard his father Wu Bingan say that Yang Dalong, Liao Qiang and their gang have almost been trained from the bodyguard company. When the time comes, we can recruit those veterans from the mainland and open a security company. There is no need to worry about the gang's eyes and disturbances.
A group of security companies composed of mainland veterans and foreign veterans cannot be underestimated.
