Chapter 174: The second game

White House.

"What's going on?"

Looking at the latest recent opinion poll report, George W. Bush was greatly annoyed.

"Hans, you say, what's going on?"

Hans is the head of the White House staff and Bush's brain trust.

At the time of the last Sino-US hacker war, Hans made a plan, and although it cost some money, it successfully resolved the American Internet crisis.

"Last month, the poll index was still above 45%, and now, how can it suddenly drop to 30%."

The electoral system in the United States is a referendum election, and generally speaking, at regular intervals, various research agencies publish the presidential or federal government polling index. Although the index has little legal effect, the US president and the federal government attach great importance to such polls. Because, in the American state system, that is, if you can't satisfy the people, then the people will let you go. In general, if a president's polls fall below 30 percent, it's very dangerous.

At this time, the approval rating for the president of the United States is 35%, although it is not at the warning line, but it is also very dangerous.

"It's impossible."

George W. Bush was so angry that he vomited blood.

Recently, in order to fulfill the promise he made when he was running for president of the United States, George W. Bush has successively promulgated a number of laws and regulations that are beneficial to the American people. For example, investment in health care has been increased. In terms of promoting employment, it has also been promoted. Bush originally thought that his approval rating would increase rapidly due to his recent efforts in the past period. However, unexpectedly, the latest public opinion poll did not increase but declined, which made Bush Jr. feel very nervous.

"Your Excellency, I think this may be because of a recent Internet incident that broke out on the Internet, which has stimulated the nerves of hatred of the federal government."

Hans, a think tank, said to Bush.

It should be said that the people of most countries or regions do not have much good opinion of the government.

Usually they often attack and curse the government, not to mention an incident that makes the people feel that the government's practices are too illegal.

"Internet event, what internet event?"

"It's a video game incident......"

Hans continued to explain to Bush.

"Are you saying that because of this incident, the people are angry with our government, or with me, the president?"

"I think yes, otherwise, with your recent efforts, Your Excellency, it is impossible for public opinion to plummet."

"Damn."

Bush was furious, "Which local executive agency has done a good job, Hans, you should quickly check it." ”

Hearing this, Hans smiled bitterly, "Mr. President, this is none of the government's business. We investigated, and no government agency has ever been to Aotin Technology, and no government agency has threatened Aotin Technology. There is no government agency that says it will revoke the license of Aotin Technology to sell in the United States. ”

"So why are there so many such incidents on the Internet?"

"All I can say is that this is a hype of Aotin Technology."

"Hype?"

With a bang, Bush finally got angry, "Damn Aotin Technology, it's actually slandered on the head of our government." ”

Bush couldn't help but curse.

The most difficult thing for him to accept is that at this time, the people not only do not have much affection for the federal government, but also do not have much interest in him as president. If Hans's analysis is correct, then the decline in his own polls is due to this Austin company.

"Notify me to seize Aotin Technology and arrest the person in charge of Aotin Technology."

"No, Mr. President, we can't do that?"

"Why?"

Bush almost went crazy, "They attacked the government like this, can't they get him back?" ”

"Mr. President, calm down. You know, they made statements attacking the government on the Internet. But this is not in public, nor in reality, he is on the Internet. However, at the moment, we do not have a single legal stripe that explicitly prohibits this kind of Internet incident. ”

Although the Internet appeared in the United States decades ago, the Internet has been slow to develop until 98 years, when it developed rapidly. At this time, not to mention other countries, even the United States, does not have a single law and regulation specifically formulated for the Internet. In other words, he did not violate the law for any qiē activity on the Internet.

"It's not to catch, it's not to catch, God, I'm going crazy. I'm now informing the House of Representatives that we in the federal government need to enact a set of laws and regulations that specifically address the Internet. ”

In the previous Sino-US hacker war, the Internet has already made Bush suffer a lot.

This time, again.

This has made Bush a little afraid of the Internet, and he is eager to immediately move the legal stripes and arrest that guy.

……

"Mr. Zhang Ning, please, on behalf of Andy, I apologize to you."

The CEO of Nuer Technology apologized to Zhang Ning with Andy, the game producer who attacked Zhang Ning before.

Recently, because of the outbreak of group attacks on Andy on the Internet, their Newer technology has slowly been affected.

Many players think that Nuer Technology is jealous of Plants vs. Zombies of Aotin Technology, which is secretly ghostly.

And many netizens spontaneously started to boycott any game works of Newer Technology.

Originally, Newtech felt that such a boycott was useless, but when after a while, their game orders plummeted, they realized that these players were boycotting the madness.

The pros and cons of power, "Hurd", CEO of Newer Technology, pulled Andy and came to apologize to Zhang Ning.

"It's okay, I forgot about it."

Zhang Ning looked at the two with a smile.

The competition between enterprises, Zhang Ning has long been accustomed to this, compared to Andy's approach, it is nothing.

They just attacked Plants vs. Zombies in the media.

In other words, Zhang Ning, for the benefit of the company, Zhang Ning will do the same.

Therefore, even if Andy, who had attacked him before, appeared in front of him, Zhang Ning was not angry.

On the contrary, Zhang Ning said that he had to thank him.

If they hadn't attacked themselves, they wouldn't have had a chance to hype.

"Haha, Mr. Zhang is really like most Chinese, so generous."

Seeing that Zhang Ning was not surprised, Hurd was overjoyed in his heart, feeling that this trip had completed the task.

However, Andy on the side still seems to be very hostile to Zhang Ning.

"You are the person in charge of Aotin Technology?"

"Yes, Mr. Andy, do you have anything to say to me?"

Seeing Andy's anger endured, Zhang Ning felt very interesting.

He could tell that Andy was forced by Hurd to apologize to him.

"Yes, I want to tell you bad news. The federal government is going to formulate a set of laws specifically for the Internet, and when the time comes, you Aotin Technology, I'm afraid it will be impossible to hype up like this. ”

"Haha, Mr. Andy, I think that's a good thing."

They have hyped it up and hyped it up, and if they are legislating now, can they still catch themselves.

"Good thing, huh?"

Andy looked at Zhang Ning, "Do you think your Plants vs. Zombies can sell well without relying on hype?" ”

"Oh......"

Seeing Andy's appearance, Zhang Ning knew that this guy had always thought that his game was hyped.

It looks like too.

Whether it is the previous Halloween hype or this Internet incident, this has made many people think that the success of Plants vs. Zombies is actually the success of the hype. In fact, it doesn't have much to do with whether his game is good or bad.

However, Zhang Ning is willing to let them think so.

"In my opinion, Plants vs. Zombies will be the perfect sound for your Austin Technology. In your future, there will never be a second game that surpasses this one. ”

Seeing that Zhang Ning didn't speak, Andy thought that he had hit Zhang Ning's pain point, and his expression was indescribably refreshing.

It's just that such an expression makes Zhang Ning feel very funny.

It feels like their Newtech products are selling well, but in fact, it's the other way around.

Of course, Zhang Ning would not remind this Andy, but said very confidently, "Then, Mr. Andy, we may launch a second game in the near future, and when the time comes, please come and review it." ”
