Chapter 777: Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne
"20,000 people."
I'm going to go.
Such a scene can really catch up with the Spring Festival at the train station.
I didn't expect to be so popular.
However, although he was shocked, Zhang Ning still smiled at everyone.
"Everyone."
Zhang Ning pressed his hand and signaled to be quiet.
Soon, under Zhang Ning's actions, none of the friends who came to pick up the airport spoke again.
"Thank you very much for coming to pick you up, and thank you for your support for me and for Penguin."
Zhang Ning said with a sigh.
"Penguin Company is inseparable from everyone's support and help. I'm here to say thank you. This is the airport, though. There are too many friends to pick up the airport, and if we stay here, I'm afraid it will affect the normal work of the airport. Here, I advise everyone to leave first. ”
"I know that everyone who came here so far away and left like this must not be happy, and I also have some regrets in my heart. However, in order to compensate everyone. After I go back this time, I will be interviewed by a television outlet. When the time comes, I will meet with you face-to-face. Guys, what do you think? ”
"Absolutely."
"Zhang Ningda, what do you say, we will do it."
"We retreat, we retreat, listen to Zhang Ningda, let's leave first, gather around here, the passengers at the airport can't get out."
After Zhang Ning finished speaking, the audience applauded thunderously. At the same time, some fans who have taken the lead have begun to leave first.
After more than an hour, the entire airport was calm.
However, after the departure of these fans, the sensation is far from gone.
Countless fans and friends, when they went back, kept talking about the situation when they saw Zhang Ning on the spot.
Brothers, today is so powerful, I met Zhang Ning at the airport.
You don't know how many people came to the airport to pick up Zhang Ning that day.
20,000, more than 20,000 people.
I never thought that Zhang Ning actually had so many fans.
Even more powerful, there are some media reporters who rushed over.
That night, they posted the news of Zhang Ning's return to China to major sites.
Almost all important news media regard the news of Zhang Ning's return to China as a front-page headline.
Of course, under the headlines on the front page, there are also photos of a group of more than 20,000 fans and friends who came to pick up the airport.
Oh my God, why didn't I know that Zhang Ning would return to China.
I knew that I was going to pick up the airport too.
Many friends can't help but sigh when they see the news.
Forget it, if you go again, I'm afraid Yanjing Airport will be crowded.
Yes, I really don't know what kind of monster Zhang Ning is, and the global entertainment superstar is not as popular as Zhang Ning.
Oh, what kind of entertainment star is compared with Zhang Ning, that's looking for death.
A series of fans, constant discussions.
At the same time, when the major media reported on Zhang Ning's return to China, they also made a special feature again.
This topic is no longer the number one topic on the market value of penguins.
The topic of Penguin's market capitalization on the above has been done a long time ago, and it once excited countless people in China at that time.
What they have to do now is the concept of national idols.
Some people like stars, some people worship artists.
However, there are more people who like the kind of successful people in their careers.
Before, it was Bill that people had always admired.
He is the richest man in the world, and he is also the founder of Microsoft.
People have always felt that Bill is the most successful person in the world.
Of course, in addition to Bill, there are people who worship Buffett.
Like Bill, Warren Buffett, the god of stocks, was once considered the most successful businessman.
It's just that for a long time, Chinese people rarely worship the successful people of their own country.
In fact, the reform and opening up believes that many successful people have appeared in China.
Like Vanke's Wang Shi and Lenovo's Liu Chuanzhi...... However, for them, only a small number of people like it.
Perhaps too many people think that they are not successful.
Their success is nothing compared to Bill and Warren Buffett.
But today, people have abandoned Bill, they have abandoned Warren Buffett, they have abandoned the people they had always admired.
They began to see Zhang Ning as an encounter.
They began to see Zhang Ning as the driving force for their struggle.
The feature is very sensational and bloody.
The whole article is mostly singing praises and praising Zhang Ning's cattle fork, but it makes many fans watch it with relish.
In addition, many fans also left messages, hoping to post more information and comments about Zhang Ning.
Zhang Ning naturally doesn't know about this, and he doesn't care much about the media's evaluation of himself.
At this time, Zhang Ning has returned to the headquarters of the domestic penguin company.
"Mr. Zhang, tell you earlier, I'll pick you up, look at it, something happened."
Tong Lei was in the office, looking at Zhang Ning with a smile.
"But, it's not fair, why are you liked by so many people. Alas, like me, also the management of the Penguin Company. When I walked down the street, I didn't know anyone. ”
Inevitably, Tong Lei pouted in her heart and said dissatisfiedly.
"Heh, Tong Lei, if you are willing, let's change our identity, let you taste the feeling of being asked for your autograph, looking for a group photo, and hugging you wherever you go."
"Well, forget it, it's too enthusiastic, I can't resist."
"Hey, I knew you said that."
Zhang Ning took a sip of tea, "By the way, Tong Lei, Qingqing said that there are some problems on the Penguin Game's side, let's talk about the situation." ”
"Not really, I'm just a little uncertain about the market and want to talk to you."
"Then let's have a good discussion."
Zhang Ning nodded.
"How is the market now, by the way, in China, you are not crushing World of Warcraft to death."
Zhang Ning came back to take a look at the market, but he didn't find any problems with Penguin Games.
"Actually."
After straightening out her thoughts, Tong Lei said.
"At the moment, we have two main markets for Penguin Games. One is an online game and the other is a single-player game. We have achieved a good position in online games at home and abroad, and recently Blizzard's World of Warcraft has also been suppressed by us. However, when it comes to single-player games, we've been slow lately. ”
While speaking, Tong Lei took out a piece of information.
"Last year, Blizzard released Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne, and for the first time, it launched the Heroes gameplay. This has made the whole game of Warcraft qualitatively improved, and countless players, especially those who like to be competitive, have thrown themselves into the arms of Warcraft. In addition, because of the emergence of the "hero" gameplay, the world has once again focused its attention on the game competition. In Europe and the United States, Blizzard has paved the way for professional competition. Even in China, there are many players who have become professional players of Warcraft. ”
"In addition, there is more important things. In order to compete for the domestic game market, Blizzard actually launched a free version of Warcraft 3. At the same time, Blizzard is still actively cooperating with domestic market operators and has launched various online battle platforms for the Warcraft series to compete with us for the market. Although we were previously in the single-player game market, we were also very profitable. But the plant war national corpse and the like, there has been some decline in the past two years. ”
Tong Lei took a breath and talked for more than half an hour, and then she finished talking in detail about the dilemma faced by Penguin Games.
"I see, the crux of the problem is Blizzard's Warcraft."
Blizzard's online game World of Warcraft is not scary.
The scary thing is his single-player game, which is the Warcraft series.
"Yes."
Tong Lei was ashamed at this time, and said embarrassedly, "We also thought about developing a stand-alone game to compete with Warcraft, but ......"
Needless to say, Zhang Ning already knew that he would definitely fail.
