"Leonardo, what are you playing?" Seeing that Leonardo DiCaprio had been playing with his mobile phone intently, the female reporter couldn't help but ask curiously.

"This? It's just a small game, called Plants vs. Zombies. Leonardo DiCaprio pursed his lips and said casually.

"Do you like to play games?" The female reporter asked in surprise that she could hardly imagine that a man as handsome as Leonardo DiCaprio would play games so naïvely. 、

"No...... Of course I don't like to play games, I just pass the time when I'm bored, in fact, this game has a story, it's based on an American drama that is about to be released, I'm actually more interested in the character settings in it, you know I'm a fan of director Li Xiaole. Leonardo DiCaprio was a little embarrassed by the question, smiled, and made up an excuse related to the movie.

What Leonardo DiCaprio didn't expect was that this interview was recorded by ABC TV and broadcast on TV as entertainment news, and Leonardo also played "Plants vs. Zombies"? This gossip is so interesting~~ The focus of their report is: "Every man hides a boy with a childlike heart in his heart." Although ABC did not intend to help Li Xiaole promote, it still broadcast Leonardo DiCaprio saying the name of "Plants vs. Zombies".

At the headquarters of the New York company Sony Corporation, Mike Donner, CEO of Sony's game division, was sitting behind his desk frowning deeply, looking at Sony's handheld game console sales reports last week, and then threw those reports on several PSP game console sales managers in front of him.

"A week! It's only a week! Our PSP's overall sales are down 30%!? Can you explain to me what's going on? ”

Several project managers of different skin tones looked at each other, and one of them, a younger, lighter white manager, couldn't help but defend himself:

"Downer, we can't blame it all, we haven't let up on our work, and now the decline in sales of handheld consoles is a big trend in the industry...... You must know that not only us, but also Nintendo's GBA and NDS, the two handheld game consoles, have also experienced a decline of nearly 20% in North America during this time......"

"Is this because of weishenme? There has to be a reason, right? Mike Donner's face was gloomy, his face shaking with excitement.

"You want to know why?" The young white manager, who was also arrogant, took out an iPhone from his bosom with a cold face and threw it in front of Mike Donner: "That's why." ”

Mike Donner picked up the white iPhone in confusion, looked at the picture of "Plants vs. Zombies" above, and said angrily:

"What do you want to say? Do you want to tell me that just because of a flash game on a mobile phone, you beat our 1276-person game production department? Are you trying to perfunctory me with such absurd reasons? ”

"Mini-game ......?" The young manager was stunned for a moment, then looked at Mike Donner with an extremely disdainful look, and exclaimed:

"Donner~! You see clearly~! Is this a mini-game? It's a great game! A game with tens of M's has a prototype story, innovative ideas for touchscreen control, if there is a huge amount of data, there are multiple game modes, all these factors together maintain a subtle sense of balance, and those game original paintings, each of which can be called a design classic~! You say it's just a little game!?

Downer, let me tell you, I'm sure that the pirate company that developed this game must have invested a team of hundreds of people in this game in the early stage of iphone design, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to achieve this effect, the hardware of the iphone is much more powerful than our PSP, if there are a few more games of this game, in a few years all our handheld game consoles will be replaced by the iphone~! I suggest that we should buy this pirate game company at all costs~"

Mike Donner was also stunned when he heard this, although he felt that he was alarmist, but he couldn't help but re-read the report that he hadn't read carefully, and it read like this:

"Plants vs. Zombies was downloaded by more than 500,000 people on the first day it became free on the AppStore for iphone, and that number has now reached 3 million...... And it's still increasing, with iPhone sales soaring by 2 million units during this period, a number that is exactly the market share we lost with Nintendo...... In Japan and Europe, console sellers have begun to submit orders to Apple......"

Oh, my God...... After reading the report from beginning to end, Mike Donner's heart suddenly felt a thrill, as if he finally realized the seriousness of the problem, he reacted anxiously and pointed to the young manager:

"James~Go~Go and contact that pirate game company~~ Before their market value increases significantly, let's see if we can buy them~!?"

Mike Donner was not shocked by the sales of "Plants vs. Zombies", but he seemed to have seen the trend when "Pokemon" appeared, and he had a vague premonition that maybe a new era wave would come soon, just like Nintendo used a GB game "Pokemon" to rapidly grow and let all eight handhelds transition to the card handheld era, the emergence of "Plants vs. Zombies" may be the beginning of a new wave.

Two hours later, in the office of the new Haode Game Department of the Pirate Television Company, Salman was cross-legged and proudly said into the phone:

"We are very concerned about Sony, but we are sorry that our company does not plan to sell its shares...... No, no, we have no intention of introducing financing. ”

Seeing Salman hang up the phone, Lei Ting, who was signing a formal contract for him opposite, couldn't help but show a disdainful sneer: "You will see the wind and rudder, you didn't disappear as soon as you finished the game before, I thought you went back to San Francisco, how could you run back by yourself now." ”

"Thunder...... You misunderstood me, I just went to find my three girlfriends, you know~ I'm a person who values aiqing, and I want to complete the breakup ceremony with them before I settle in New York. Salman looked at Li Xiaole on the side, raised three fingers and swore:

"I'm absolutely loyal to my boss~~ I've been going to fight with him for the rest of my life since the first time I saw him, and those damn third-rate porn games don't sell as much as this one, which is the pinnacle of my game design career~~~! You know, those idiots at Sony thought there were hundreds of people in our game production department, and when I told them that I was the only one bare-rod commander, that guy must have been scolding his mother in his heart~~haha~~~ It's so funny~"

Looking at Salman's **** smile, Lei Ting also felt a rare relief, this Li Xiaole actually succeeded again, obviously impossible, he still succeeded, what is the structure of his brain? Why can't anything bother him?

She also anticipates seven failures for Black Pearl...... Now it seems too pessimistic...... This Li Xiaole is really a person who can't calculate with data.

At this time, Apple, all of them have entered an extremely busy stage, no one expected that in just two weeks, iPhone sales will soar to this point because of a small game, and now not only mobile phone channel providers in various states in the United States send people to Apple every day to urge to increase supply, but even many game console channel providers have begun to place iPhone orders with Apple.

"Increase production capacity, increase production capacity, and mobilize all our factories that can be contacted~!" Jonathan roared excitedly in the conference room, iPhone sales have increased by 300% in the past two weeks, and as many as 2 million units have been sold, and many places have been out of stock, all this is crazy!!

This can't be blamed on the mistake of Jihua in the sales department, who the fuck would have thought of it! A mini-game based on a series that has not yet been released can burst out with such a huge amount of energy!!

What makes people laugh is that the iPhone is sold as a game console in many places...... The designers involved in Plants vs. Zombies were originally secretive about it, for fear of letting people know that they had made such a childish game, but now the situation has changed 180 degrees, and those designers are eager to tell each other that this popular game in the United States is just their game in two days.

To commemorate this legendary event, the Board of Directors hereby approves the inclusion of the event materials of Plants vs. Zombies on the company's "Wall of Glorious Deeds", with the names of all the designers involved in the project inscribed on it.

After learning of Sony's intention to acquire Pirate Games, several directors of Apple's board of directors personally called Li Xiaole and praised his great contribution to Apple in an almost flattering tone, with only one purpose, that is, not to want him to release "Plants vs. Zombies" on other game platforms, and continue to be an exclusive game for the iOS system.

Li Xiaole quickly made a guarantee that this is not how loyal he is to Apple, but he understands that the potential of the iPhone is far from being released, and the iPhone is now only known as a high-end product in the industry, and it is not grounded, many ordinary people have not yet realized the huge difference between smartphones and feature phones, "Plants vs. Zombies" with exquisite picture quality and gameplay only released a small part of the charm of the iPhone, so that more ordinary people began to take over this product......

The mobile Internet revolution brought about by smartphones has just begun, and in the future, he will use this platform to expand his influence, rather than just making a little money with games.
