Chapter 12: Zhang Zhicheng's pride
(The score is not full of 500 points, so the book review area cannot be replied...... Regarding the question of Tetris' name, there are actually two very simple reasons - first, it is uncomfortable to call it, just like KFC in life suddenly changed its name to Little Gigi one day, and it always involuntarily thought of the original name, right? And it's not comfortable to narrate, and it has something to do with the pit in the later text. Second, it is the rare thought left by the protagonist of another world, which should be regarded as respect for the original designer...... )
Zhang Zhicheng looked at the contract on the table, looked at the newspaper on the side, and finally nodded with satisfaction, with a rare smile on his face.
"Hmph, Lynch this time we will do a good job of promotion and sales in an all-round way, even if the people of Jiner Factory collude with you, what can you do!"
Until now, Zhang Zhicheng still believed that Lynch and the people of Jin No. 2 Factory must have known each other in advance, so he designed this full set to lure him into the bait, in order to wait for him to make a fool of himself.
Otherwise, how could it be possible to make a handheld by himself, and Lynch just happened to make a handheld?
How could it be that your own well-designed game is not as popular as that guy's building block game?!
Thinking of those members of the audit team who saw him with a mediocre attitude, but were so enthusiastic about Lynch, Zhang Zhicheng felt as if he had eaten a fly!
Well, now don't you look down on me and join forces to trap me! Don't you Jiner Factory don't want to drive me away!
Now we have bought Jinglong Machinery Factory ourselves!
I can produce whatever I want!
And with the support of the Wang family, he can still do his best to do a good job in advertising, so he doesn't have to worry about it at all!
Aren't you proud? Look at how you cry at the poor sales data when the product is officially on sale!
Thinking of Lynch's heart-like appearance, Zhang Zhicheng's gloomy mood finally improved a lot.
Suddenly, he thought of something, and picked up the phone with a horizontal whistle.
……
It's two days.
In the past two days, Lynch has run the second gold factory several times, and finally perfected all the technical details of the Tetris handheld machine.
At the same time, he also optimized the configuration, code, etc. of the entire game, and finally entered the official production process at this time.
As for the name of the game, it is still called Tetris, and it has not changed.
This is probably the only thing Lynch misses for that world.
Of course, another reason is that he is used to calling this name, and it feels weird no matter what he changes it to, so it is better to use the original one.
Once in the production process, all Lynch has to worry about is the promotion and sales - no matter what the product is, where and how to sell it is always a hurdle for product sales.
In response to these two questions, Lynch finally synthesized the sales channels of the first batch of handheld computers - hundreds of grocery stores large and small in Jinhu District.
Generally speaking, people go to places like hypermarkets to buy general items, while extraordinary items like game consoles are not very popular.
What's more, will those big supermarkets and hypermarkets accept such an unknown new product?
Obviously, basically not.
What's more, generally speaking, when you go to a big supermarket, you buy food and other daily necessities, and you don't care about some small things, or even if you care, you may not be able to see it.
A person's attention span is limited, and when shopping in hypermarkets and supermarkets, there are too many products that come into view, and the probability of being able to see the handheld is very low.
But if it's just a grocery store, many people just need to buy and wait for a while, it is enough to see all the goods clearly, and it has an excellent effect on highlighting the presence of the handheld!
The advertising problem is better solved, Lin Ma is the editor in charge of the newspaper of Zhengguang Newspaper, and publishing articles is definitely not a problem.
But just as Lynch had just solved the problem of sales channels and was about to start writing advertising slogans, he suddenly learned a message from his parents.
"Uh, Mom, are you saying that Zhang Zhicheng's things have been favored by Jinglong Machinery Factory, and as the flagship product of the same restructuring, it has been advertised at this time?"
Approaching dinner time, Lynch looked at Mama Lin, who was cooking in the kitchen, with some surprise, and asked.
Zhang Junxian nodded: "Just look at the Jinhu Evening News on the table." By the way, Xiaoqi, this has no impact on your handheld sales, right? ”
Mother Lin looked at her son with some concern.
Although she can give her son convenience to a certain extent in terms of advertising, she is still a newspaper editor after all, and it is impossible for her to really abuse her power.
Jin Erchang can have a certain amount of funds to pay, but I am afraid that the other party will not spend so much before the cost is really earned.
If you are optimistic about a product, you have to decide how much power you will finally pour into it according to the market response, otherwise the first batch of handheld machines will not be 5,000 but 50,000 or 100,000 units.
Lynch took the newspaper and looked through it, and immediately saw the advertisement on it, so he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Mom, don't worry, I know this matter in my own heart, they spent the money well!" ”
The front page of the newspaper depicts a handheld similar to his Tetris handheld, but the advertising line reads, "Beautiful design, new game, August 1st, stay tuned!" - Didn't say what the game was.
Almost at first glance, it was clear that the people on Zhang Zhicheng's side wanted to create a sense of mystery, which is the so-called mystery marketing.
This kind of marketing method can be said to be rotten in the previous life, basically as long as a person who can do advertising knows about mystery marketing, and even consumers often disdain mystery marketing, as if no matter how delicious things are, they will get tired of eating too much.
And in a world that has been at war for decades, Lynch knows that it may be an exaggeration to say that he is "stupid", but it is definitely not far off - the advertising here is still at the basic stage of "introduction to the merits".
"Mystical marketing?" A strange smile appeared on Lynch's face, "Zhang Zhicheng, Zhang Zhicheng, be careful to help me advertise for free!" You know, I'm selling handhelds...... Oh yes, mom, you don't have to advertise here......"
As for the idea of Tetris being plagiarized? He wasn't worried about that at all.
The world has developed abnormally, and although many years of war have been fought, many laws have become mere decorations, but this does not mean that copyright laws do not exist.
Especially when he specially went to register the copyright number, if Zhang Zhicheng dared to plagiarize the design of Tetris, it would definitely be enough for him to drink a pot.
As for the concept of game design that he said in the second factory? That's not even a problem.
If you can design a product immediately after listening to an idea, then what else do designers do in this world?
You can just make up yy imagination and imagination!
Thinking of this, he picked up the phone at home and dialed the number of Jiner Factory.
The phone rang a few times before it was connected, and a somewhat old voice came, and Lynch immediately heard that the person answering the phone should be the old man named Qi Dong.
Xia Yunfeng is the director of the factory, and he is responsible for more and more things, so the production of Tetris is fully responsible for Qi Lao.
"Hey, Qi Lao, I'm Lynch. As for the production of Tetris, can you speed up a little bit and try to produce 5,000 sets by the 30th? Did you see that advertisement, yes, it's from the Jinhu Evening News, and now that it's produced early, we've changed the release date to July 31......"
Not long after the phone hung up, Lynch received another call......
"Lynch, do you have the courage to bet again?";
