855 [Punch McDonald's, Kick KFC's Chinese-funded Catering] (2)
When the Internet is not popular, if you want to play video games with others, you can only go to other people's homes or invite others to come over, but playing like this, in many cases, some people will definitely have the feeling of "master loneliness".
Then the game company has to come up with an effective solution.
Then arcades are the solution for game dealers to provide such a gaming platform.
Because there were too many people, they were numbered during the primary, and Charlie and Steve were numbered later because they both came late.
Soon!
The game officially began, and considering the time relationship, the game was a best-of-three game.
"Hey!" from time to time someone got out of their seats with a sigh of regret, and a new player immediately went to fill in.
After nearly an hour of waiting, it was Steve's turn.
Steve was tempted to leave midway because he still had a business to take care of, but he was a loyal player of Kowloon Games, and he was fascinated by the first three games. Now that the latest arcade machine is available, he wants to stay and try it out early.

When we finally stood in the place where it took time to get there.
The color and smoothness of this game are not the same, and it is clear that Kowloon Games has made an innovation, and Steve chose Chun-Li: "This character is very Chinese-style and interesting. ”
"It feels pretty good, the picture is quite emotional. ”
"Their support for motion graphics is very good, and the brochure says it's for arcade features. ”
The player next to him explained excitedly.
Steve nodded.
Arcade machines don't really need to be as playable as home consoles, they can make people linger in front of a game and then play for a day.
And arcades need to be intense and 'explosive', so arcades are games that need to be dynamic.
And his opponent is a man named "William".
The machine assigns opponents.
The other party is a middle-aged uncle in his thirties and forties, but Steve is not surprised at all, arcade hobby players regardless of age, and the character he chose is known as the "Extreme Fist" and the "Ghost of the Fist of Slaughter".
"Come on, Steve!"
Charlie cheered him on.
Charlie was eliminated early on, so now, he can only be a spectator from a distance.

Soon, the game began.
When he first got started, Steve was still a little uncomfortable, because he usually chooses arcade machines when playing games, so it is obviously not as smooth as the arcade version.
However, the reason why it can be played by both fools and smart people is that this game is as easy to play as Mario and Contra, and even easier to play.
So Steve got started quickly.
However, in the first round of the first game, he quickly lost the battle.
But Steve wasn't that fool, he was smart, so he quickly adjusted!
Although he still made some mistakes in the second round, he was able to pull off a little trick and come out victorious.
In the third round, Steve's "Chunli", the first female character in the world's fighting games to be playable, controls Chun-Li to use gorgeous Chinese boxing techniques, and begins to turn defeat into victory.
Steve didn't expect that "Street Fighter" would finally be exposed in the penultimate two days, and playing his "Chunli" all the way through the level and starting to earn, Steve can almost be said to be a "complete victory".
Despite some minor hurdles, Steve managed to make it to the top 128 of the tournament - and he finally won the console and the new game.
"The future of this game company is really limitless, and the new games really didn't disappoint me. There is a chance that we at Apple PC can work with them. Steve was very happy to get the prize and said happily to Charlie on the way back.
"Of course, I've been saying that for a long time. Charlie was equally pleased. "Let's go back, we can discuss, maybe we can take the initiative to contact. ”
"Good. Steve's excitement came and went quickly, but he knew that this time the Kowloon game was successful again, or rather, that Xu Wenhui was successful again.
"He never failed, and no matter what he did, it was a miracle. ”

"I'm a little hungry after waiting in line for so long, let's go get some burgers together, shall we?!"
Charlie suggested, and Steve nodded in agreement.
In this Kowloon competition, Burger King is the fast food supplier for the participating players.
All players, everyone, can enjoy unlimited access to all the food in Burger King, and they don't have to pay even a penny for it, all of which Kowloon pays for itself.
"Oh my God, how rich is this Xu Wenhui. These tens of thousands of people can supply an unlimited amount of money for a week, which is an astronomical amount. When he was at the dining table and learned that it was free, Steve was surprised again.
"yes, if only we could get his investment. Charlie sighed that Xu Wenhui is a bold local tyrant, and they like it very much.
Burger King was born in the mid-50s in California, and the famous Royal Castle was born in the mid-50s, just in time for the golden age of rapid growth in the American fast food industry in the 1960s.
At this time, however, its rapid expansion ran into a shortage of funds, and after the failure of its IPO plan, it accepted a merger proposal from Pierce Bailey, which pledged to fund Burger King.
But after the merger, Pierce Burleys did not keep its promises and cut back on Burger King's expansion plans. This leaves an opportunity for competitors to take advantage of, and Burger King can only watch their rapid rise. McDonald's, in particular, is developing extremely fast and is catching up with Burger King. By the time Xu Wenhui came to Hong Kong, McDonald's had far surpassed Burger King in terms of the number of outlets, becoming the obvious market leader. Burger King was forced to settle for second place.
At this time, it was when the leadership of Pierce Baileys and Burger King had a serious disagreement, Burger King couldn't stand Pierce Bailey, a company that deceived them, and then stupidly made them lose their status and split up step by step, and Kowloon Investment Company saw the business opportunity and began to invest in Burger King.
Nature.
Kowloon Investment Company, for a heavyweight like Burger King, must report to Xu Wenhui, the boss, if he wants to invest, make acquisitions and other behaviors.
Of course, Xu Wenhui agreed, "Isn't it interesting that we Chinese can cultivate a catering company that punches McDonald's and kicks KFC?"
Although Xu Wenhui was surprised that his subordinates wanted to invest in Burger King, after all, their main investment in the past did not include the catering industry, but if Xu Wenhui remembered that the Chinese heard about KFC and other Americans, he had never heard of his own Chinese.
If he can buy one, Xu Wenhui is very interested.
