Chapter 228: On the Eve of the Release (2)

The invitation letter of the stargazing platform is divided into two parts, one is for people from all walks of life in China, because there are two major groups of Wanda and Ali standing behind it, and celebrities from all walks of life in China are very face-saving "glad to attend the meeting." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Compared with the domestic one, the treatment received by foreign invitation letters can even be said to be a cold reception.

Movie stars are okay, after all, the stargazing station that merged Wanda Entertainment also has more than 5,000 screens in 346 theaters of AMC, the second largest theater chain in the United States, when Tom Cruise, Madonna, Pete, Will Smith, Robt Downey Jr., Johnny Depp, and Johnson agreed after just a little consideration.

Leave some friendship for the future.

But that's not how the business world gives face.

Valve, Chinese translated as Welford Software Inc., is a company based in Seattle, Washington, specializing in the development of video games. A lot of people who aren't that passionate about games may not even have heard of this company.

But in fact, you must have heard of a game developed by this company, that is, the predecessor of "Half-Life", which has been popular all over the country for several years and has become popular in countless Internet cafes!

It's just that later V put more energy into their game platform steam, becoming the world's largest game channel in one fell swoop, steam is so successful that even Blizzard began to be red, and then made its own platform, Battle.net...

As the world's No. 1 game distributor, Valve is also the object of a very solemn invitation from the Stargazing Platform.

At this moment, in Valve's headquarters in Seattle, founder Gabe Newell glanced at the delicate invitation in front of him, and with a hint of nonchalance on his chubby face, he let out a strange smile of unknown meaning and pushed his glasses. While playing the game, he asked his secretary

"This stargazing station is a game company?"

The blonde secretary's delicate face revealed a touch of helplessness, but he still opened his mouth to say

"Boss, this is the third time you've asked me."

Gabe Newell is very easy-going, and the blonde secretary has an indescribable relationship with him, because sometimes the secretary dares to lose his temper and be coquettish. Gabe enjoyed the feeling.

Gabe Newell scratched his head, looked up at the sky and thought about it.

"Really? Sorry, I forgot again, maybe this company didn't impress me too much. Baby, I swear to God that I will listen carefully this time! To show his seriousness, Gabe even put down the mouse and keyboard in his hand.

The secretary opened the splint in his hand, and his rosy lips pursed slightly, "Okay, okay, who made you the boss"

I went through the above information again and read it in a formulaic tone

"Stargazing Group is not a game company, but a group company with parallel entertainment and hardware, with two subsidiaries, of which Xingchen Entertainment has the second largest cinema chain AMC in the United States, as well as hundreds of cinema chains in China, which can be called the world's first cinema chain, and the name of the other company is very strange."

The secretary uttered the words "Qin Tianjian" in grotesque broken Chinese, and then shrugged his shoulders

"The company is said to be a technology company, and recently they developed a VR eye, spent a lot of money on prime-time commercials on the big five TV stations, and claimed that they were the best, and this time they were going to hold an experience and invite some people to experience their VR.

It's just that compared to their entertainment company, the company that develops VR is a nobody, and there aren't even any big names in the industry. ”

Gabe's eyes lit up when he heard the VR, but then he thought of the company's background, and Gabe sighed and muttered

"It seems that the concept of VR is so hot now that even such a company wants to make VR."

The secretary took the invitation and raised it, and asked playfully

"Then Mr. Gabe isn't going to go, is he?"

"Yes, I feel like this experience is going to be a farce, so I'm not going."

The secretary happily tucked the invitational into his bodice and winked at Gabe

"Mr. Gabe, if you don't go, I'll go."

Gabe shrugged, a little strange

"Aren't you, baby, not interested in that?"

The secretary's eyes lit up with fascination

"Of course I'm not interested, but I'm interested in Tom Cruise and Pete, ohmygod, if only we could have a romantic encounter and then we'd go back to Beverly Hills for a beautiful night together!"

Gabe stood up and pounced on the secretary with a fierce expression

"Okay, I'm jealous, you're going to be punished!"

Suddenly the office was filled with a different atmosphere, which is indescribable.

.....

There are many, many companies that have made the same choice as Gabe, and they are dismissive of the stargazing stations of unknown and Chinese companies, most of which have casually stuffed invitations into family or friends who are interested in the stars, and a few have sent their assistants, and the rest have thrown them directly into the shredder or pressed them in a drawer.

Capital, Wanda Headquarters.

Wang Congcong sat in his office and looked at the news sent back by the United States, his fists clenched tightly, and he clenched so hard that the green tendons on the back of his hands were bulging one by one.

Li Fan, who was sitting on the side reading the novel, asked in surprise

"What's wrong?"

Wang Congcong pursed his lips, he had been living abroad before, and he originally admired the arrogance of foreigners, thinking that powerful people can be arrogant, but now he feels that this attitude full of arrogance and prejudice against China is extremely ridiculous.

"Over there in the United States... Most of the companies we invited turned us down....."

Li Fan's eyebrows furrowed

"Oh? What are they? ”

Wang Congcong shook the report and read it one by one

"V Society,Blizzard,EA,Westinghouse,Microsoft...... "These are game companies or more well-known software companies,The purpose of inviting them is to let them see the strength of the stargazing platform VR,Want to seek future cooperation,But I didn't expect all of them to be rejected,Or the people who came have no weight at all。

Li Fan stood up and took the report in Wang Congcong's hand, his eyes swept over the string of names on it, and the corners of his mouth raised. He turned back and smiled at Wang Congcong

"It's simple, these companies .... In the future, all refuse to cooperate! ”

Wang Congcong nodded fiercely.

"That's right, resolutely not to cooperate with them, absolutely not!"

"I'm more concerned about tomorrow's press conference than this, you're the host, how are you preparing?"

Wang Congcong's face was full of confidence and raised his fist

"Everything is ready, tomorrow we will shake the world!"
