Chapter 133: Friends of Women, The Road to the Abyss
The purpose of this trip was achieved, and when he went out, Lin Yi walked easily.
When Mary saw off the guests, she showed a sunny smile: "Welcome to take Buffett Express, I wish you a smooth journey!"
Lin Yi was very gentlemanly, stopped to express his gratitude, and then asked his doubts before going upstairs: "Ms. Mary, do you have a special affection for me?"
The other party paused, observed Lin Yi's expression, confirmed that this was not flirting, and then replied generously: "The favor is not aimed at you, but Paradise Games Company." The magazine "Madame" reported on equal pay for equal work there. ”
Lin Yi suddenly realized, but he didn't expect that because of feminism, he became a friend of women. Traveling all over the United States, there are 'girlfriends' everywhere!
With a cute smile, Mary broke the news again: "Mrs. Buffett, actively participate in the equal rights movement. After moving to San Francisco last year, I often gave examples of Paradise Corporation. That's why Mr. Buffett, I know so much about your company. ”
"Unexpectedly, I boarded the Buffett Express to borrow the light of the lady's route! And Warren's memory really made me jaw-dropping. For Heaven's data, it's even more familiar than me!"
"Well, he's a data genius who can remember a thousand companies at once! Warren hits the ball and is never in the safe zone. Therefore, Warren Buffett Express is not only fast, but also safe and reliable. ”
Bidding farewell to the lovely Jenny, Lin Yi happily boarded the plane. This trip to Omaha has been a real reward.
Fourteen years ago, Warren Buffett took over Berkshire, and the stock price was about $7.5; now Lin Yi has become a shareholder, and the transaction price is about $190; by the year he crossed over, the share price exceeded $400,000! An increase of more than 2,000 times, far exceeding that of Intel and Wal-Mart.
After Lin Yi returned home, he handed his wife a gift: "Yes, Buffett sent it, maybe you can use it." ”
Xiang Yanghua sighed: "What kind of book, heavier than the English-Chinese dictionary?" "Moody's Handbook", the teacher talked about it in class, and I heard that it is a must-have for investors. But to be honest, for data analysis, if you don't have true love, you can't see it!"
Once the portfolio is complete, just sit back and wait for the appreciation of the value. Lin Yi's attention returned to the game industry. For more than two months after the Spring Festival, he was not in the United States, and he had to ask his wife about some things.
The girl's answer has already shown professionalism: "Last year, the output value of the American game market almost tripled, with 1 billion arcades and 300 million video games. This sudden outburst cannot be explained normally, and can only be said to be a variable caused by the husband. ”
Lin Yi is no longer worried about changing history: "We are getting bigger and bigger, and this kind of thing is unavoidable. As long as we keep up with the general trend and grasp the inevitable law, there should be no big problem. By the way, will Fisher be able to keep up with those training courses?"
"Don't worry, she has a good foundation and a serious attitude. I think that in less than three months, I can complete both secretarial and business classes. When the time comes, there will be another capable man by my husband's side!"
"That's good, otherwise the income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and basic financial data can't be understood, how to be the personal secretary of the 'richest man'?"
Paradise Games, Lin Yi went first, of course, was the game development department. Now in May, it is the first anniversary of the launch of the console. In the fourth quarter, of course, there will be a fourth wave.
This time, Lin Yi was not on the scene to supervise the game. So this task was given to Sunflower. The wife knows the roots, and of course there will be no problems.
Eden, which can also be translated as Paradise, was the company's first RPG game. The same name is also deliberate, because this is a kind of cultural propaganda, so Lin Yi is very concerned: "How is the market evaluation, it won't be the opposite effect, right?"
Tom reassured him: "Although it is a static picture with text dialogue, it costs a lot of money and the picture is very beautiful." With such a high quality, it is simply unprecedented, how can players scold?"
This is the inspiration for Lin Yi in "The Age of Discovery". Since there is difficulty in movement, let the characters be still and make the picture to the extreme! The technical shortcomings are compensated for with narrative skills.
"Boss, another staple game, the response to the NBA has been mediocre. Like Atari's "Football", it's tepid. ”
"When will this technical limitation be broken? By the way, how is the development of learning machine games?"
"Bejeweled", "Sudoku", "Puzzle", "Billiards", "Balance Ball", "New Zealand Checkers", the boss is really big, and McCain must be very happy. ”
"People have taken the initiative to fight and help Heaven to promote everywhere, and more than 10 articles have been written, so Heaven must give something back! Moreover, the Parent-Teacher Association and the New Evangelical Church are very powerful, and it is better to be an enemy than a friend!"
Lin Yi was just about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something: "Although the manual drawing is exquisite, the cost of modification is too high. With our technology, can we make drawing software?"
Tom is pure, a geek engineer. Although he became the game director, the entire department was run by Jack. After checking the resources at hand, he took over the task.
When he came to the president's office, Lin Yi made a joke first: "Your posture, how can you look like a tiger standing on a dragon plate, it is too imposing!"
Phelan was flushed: "Time magazine, just did an interview. If you don't come forward, of course I have to maintain the company's image. ”
"You're going to marry Jenny, who would dare to refuse?"
"Okay, no more gossiping. "Star Wars", "Time Magazine", borrowed the east wind twice. "Space Invaders" and "Pac-Man" are like regular books, and they can continue to sell. ”
"I've known these for a long time, are there any new goods?"
"In the video game industry, the media is starting to take it seriously. Since the beginning of this year, there has been a significant increase in feature coverage. There's a magazine called Arcade Alley, and it's now dedicated to video games. The Golden Age has begun, but this is the Golden Age of Heaven alone!"
Lin Yi patted his leg and praised: "As an industry leader, you must have this momentum, you must maintain it!"
Speaking of the interview, Phelan turned serious: "Atari's "Demolition Comet" was taken by the U.S. military, and it was said that it was going to be a training game. ”
Lin Yi squirted out with saliva: "What, at its level, it can also be used as a simulated warehouse? Could it be that Warner is operating behind it?"
Ferran changed to a smile, looking a little sinister: ""Vegetables Lianliankan", Atari imitates our products, and they have been distributed all over the world. The layout half a year ago, I think it can be closed. ”
The two acted immediately, and the legal department filed a complaint and sued the opponent in court. The shadows that were planted before are now activated. The image infringement of "Lianliankan" is conclusive.
Because of this case, the lawsuit between "Tank" and "Tank Wars", Atari was also sentenced to lose. After a year, the game copyright of Paradise has finally been confirmed.
Atari CEO Cantona was already in a state of flux at this time. The lawsuit is just a small matter, and the main thing is not here.
Paradise Games refused to settle, and the infringing products of "Vegetable Lianliankan" must all be recovered and destroyed.
Hundreds of millions of dollars of products, if all lost, is absolutely unbearable. For Atari, it's the path to the abyss!
