Chapter Twenty-Three: The Return of Max: Payne
With the addition of "Mr. Lei", who has rich experience in sales and has a wide range of contacts, the sales of Playbox consoles have gradually spread all over the world.
The Latin American market, which Caesar wanted to enter but couldn't do, was also broken through by "Mr. Lei" in one fell swoop.
After the collapse of Atari, FFF became the absolute hegemon in North America, and Nintendo, which was the only one in Greater Asia that could just start a positive wave, fell into a patent block.
In the gaming industry, FFF's dominance in the world has become unstoppable.
According to the latest reports, from the beginning of Black Christmas '82 to July '83, the global sales of the Playbox console have far exceeded the peak sales of the Atari 2600 at 27 million units.
More than 30 million units worldwide! This is the latest sales number of PB hosts.
Fortune magazine once again used Caesar's photo as a cover for a special issue, "The Birth of a Conqueror......
Although Caesar couldn't imagine that "Fortune" would use such a terrifying title, he didn't think about protesting or suing or anything.
Although the eyeball economy is a product of the Internet age, the concept represented by the term is not new in the media world, and Caesar is too lazy to take them seriously, as long as they don't go too far.
"All the robbers in the world combined, together earn less than a ......fraction of Caesar's annual income," the New York Times provocative remark reminded Caesar that the security of his loved ones needed to be on the agenda.
As it happens, Bruce Willis finally graduated from SEAL camp, and the military commissioner who sent Bruce to Beverly Hills to inspect the results was caught by Caesar.
Caesar offered to hire retired special forces fighters as personal bodyguards, preferably veterans who had been to Vietnam.
Delta or British SAS is the best, seals are okay, green berets are barely strong, the grade can't be lower, it's about the lives of relatives, Caesar doesn't want to use rangers, marines or something to do.
The military commissioner watched Caesar snap his fingers, reporting the title of the best special forces in Britain and the United States one by one from high to low, and broke out in a cold sweat.
Seals, green berets, and even the British SAS, all of which are easy to say, Delta Force is a secret force that the U.S. government has never officially recognized, and there are several versions of the name "Delta" alone, and each version says that it has a nose and an eye.
Since this unit does the most dangerous and unspeakable dirty work, the identities of the members are top secret, and only after they are killed can photos be leaked.
Caesar came up and asked if he had retired Delta...... How does this make the commissioner answer?
Caesar had hired hundreds of retired and disabled soldiers, and the military and government officials were extremely appreciative of Caesar's "sensibility."
Caesar was just curious about Delta, and the first time he heard about this unit in his previous life was the FPS game "Delta Special Forces". In the period when "Counter-Strike" was not yet released, after getting tired of playing "Half-Life 1", it was only when "Delta" was played online, and the atmosphere in the Internet café was the most enthusiastic.
Since then, this special forces with a strange name has gradually aroused Caesar's curiosity, and when he was gradually understood by Caesar, it was already the movie "Black Hawk Down".
In the film, the U.S. Ranger unit is mixed with several very special soldiers, they are very special from the beginning of the pre-war preparation, and they show explosive combat effectiveness and will to fight in the battle, and even at the corner, they are obviously different from the rangers, and they can alternately hold a gun and fire with their left and right hands, all of which prove their identity as members of the "Delta".
It's just that in order to faithfully reproduce the "Battle of Mogadishu", the film does not say anything about the members of the Delta.
Because in real combat examples, Delta has never had a number, and it set off when it was mixed with ordinary troops, issued tasks on the spot, and disbanded as soon as the mission was completed, or even found a way to return to China by himself.
Even many military fans think that Delta is just an "urban legend" and a "military legend", which is fictional.
But when Caesar saw the commissioner's expression, he was pretty sure that the cold sweat was for Delta.
After seeing off the sweaty military commissioner, and looking back at Bruce Willis who was waiting on the side, Kaisa suddenly lit up.
Caesar could be sure that Bruce's fat content was definitely so low that it was a terrible amount of money, and the whole person looked dark and thin, and he crossed his legs with his hands behind his back, and the breath of "the best of the best" in the mouth of the seal went straight to the door.
If you want to pretend to have this kind of temperament, you will never be able to perform it, and if you have not been brutally tempered from body to heart, you will never have this kind of natural cold eyes.
Caesar clenched his fist and slammed it into Bruce's chest, "It's just a rebirth!" It made me want to go to the bootcamp and give it a try. ”
"I'll build yì you are a few years older, you have to go. This half-year life has helped me more than all my previous studies and work.
Speaking of which, I would like to formally thank you, even if I don't have a job making films, I will thank you for the rest of my life just because you funded me to have the opportunity to enter this training camp. ”
Caesar could see that Bruce Willis was truly grateful.
He became more and more curious about what kind of experience had made Bruce Willis's foolish guy change so much.
However, Caesar feels that regardless of whether Bruce can be a good actor in the future, this change is a good thing for him.
"Shoot! Just waiting for you to come back, why not shoot? From now on, though, you'll need absolute sun protection and a slight amount of weight gain. Caesar looked the skinny Bruce up and down.
"Your current physical and mental state is not at all like a veteran who has been a police officer for several years, but like a war trauma syndrome patient who insists on the Iron Man military pentathlon training every day after retiring."
"In a relatively comfortable police organization, who have you ever seen with a fat content that you have?"
"The instructor said that there is no way, in fact, a moderate amount of fat is beneficial, and even an effective layer of protection, but you asked me to use three months to achieve the effect of body memory, and the instructor said that this is the inevitable price.
Although I asked for a doubling of the time, it took me more than half a year to complete the one-year training in the reserve.
The instructor said I could honestly say I was a SEAL reservist. If you send me to war and I come back alive, then I'll be a glorious SEAL. ”
Hearing this explanation, Caesar was a little confused.
That's too hard, isn't it?
Once again, Caesar observed Bruce Willis on his own. He wasn't sure if the other party was really in love with the barracks, or if he had completely given up for the sake of making a movie.
Anyway, this guy in front of him is 10,000 times stronger than Bruce Willis in his previous life, who lacked this experience.
Looking at each other, Caesar began to make up for the appearance of him wearing a short black trench coat and dual-wielding 1911 to kill all sides.
This is simply the living Max Payne! Caesar almost screamed.
