Jester did not directly reject Adrian's reproduction of 100,000 copies of the Guild Wars demo floppy disk.

He thought for a while and said to Adrian: "It is indeed beyond my expectation to sell 100,000 copies in half a day, but I think 200,000 copies is a very high number, these readers are not buying for your magazine, but for the game "Guild Wars", I think it is better to put these 100,000 copies of the floppy disk in the next issue instead of making 100,000 copies of the game floppy disk and selling it in this issue." ”

"What's next?" Adrian was a little confused.

Jester said with a smile: "Actually, it's very understandable, we don't have a trial game in the next issue of the magazine, no matter how much we sell in the first issue, for these readers who have not yet formed a reading stickiness to our magazine, the attraction will definitely decline, if we release a message, saying that because the game floppy disk prepared in advance is insufficient, I didn't expect players to be so enthusiastic, so when the second issue is released, this "Guild Wars" demo version will be given again. ”

Hearing Jester's words, Adrian nodded on the other end of the phone, he understood what Jester meant.

"BOSS, do you mean to let a part of these players who want to get Guild Wars City be shunted to the second phase, then our sales of the second phase will also be high?" Adrian asked, guessing.

"Huh." Jester smiled, then dismissed Adrian's speculation, "No. ”

"That's?" Adrian was momentarily puzzled again.

"You just ask the point of sale that sells our magazines to announce that there are no more floppy disks in the first issue, but now those who have purchased the third edition of the first issue of GAME, when our second issue is released, as long as they buy another copy of the second issue, then they will get a second issue of the magazine with the demo version of Guild Wars City, of course, if there is no first issue of the magazine printed in the third edition, then they can't buy the second issue with the demo version of Guild Wars City." Jester explained it to Adrian in detail.

"Wouldn't these players be upset? They also bought the first installment, but they had to pay for the second installment to get the giveaway. Adrian immediately felt a little unreliable when he heard Jester's plan.

Jester looked at the time, he had something to do in a moment, so he couldn't help but raise the speed of his speech.

"Actually, it's very simple, just make these people feel that it's profitable, so let's do it, I'll give you twenty places that you can come to Mars Entertainment Headquarters for game testing, you can experience all the games we are currently making in Zuò, and you will also receive souvenirs from us, you can announce it in the magazine, in order to make up for the player's loss, only the purchaser who has purchased the second issue of the bonus game version of the magazine can participate in this place selection, you can put a lottery ticket in the magazine of the second issue of the bonus game, The cost is largely negligible. ”

Adrian's eyes lit up when he heard Jester's explanation, but he still noticed that something was wrong, and he asked with some hesitation, "Isn't that also forcing those who have already bought the first issue to continue to buy the first issue and the third edition of the magazine?" Wouldn't they be dissatisfied? ”

"They will be dissatisfied, but it doesn't matter, they will still buy it, but the quality of your magazine is the most important thing, we sell magazines in the final analysis, not floppy disks for game trials." Jester nodded and said with a smile, "That's what I'm doing here, to let readers who have already bought it buy it again, but this can only be used to increase the sales of "GAME" in the early days, but how many readers you can keep depends on the quality of your work." Don't let the readers who buy your magazines be disappointed by the quality of your magazines. ”

"I see." Adrian nodded in agreement.

Hung up the phone, Jester also breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the game magazine he made took advantage of the fame of Mars Entertainment, which is a good start, but what Cheng Dù can develop in the future, it all depends on the young editor-in-chief who is optimistic about himself, and wants to develop a magazine, like his own crooked idea, it is understandable to use it at the beginning, but to develop later, you can only rely on your own hard power.

Just as Jester was looking through the first half month's R&D log sent by the R&D team, the phone on his desk rang again.

"BOSS, I heard you're looking for me?" The voice was deep and deep, with a hint of New York, and it was none other than Howard Garfield, a barrister hired by Jester for an annual salary of $800,000.

He was contacted by Jester's grandfather, a barrister whose wife was Chinese, who had been favored by Jester's grandfather when he first came to the United States, and because Howard was dissatisfied with his salary, Jester had a chance.

And the price to pay for being able to poach this barrister Jester is not small, he is not the Howard Garfield hired directly.

In the United States, a barrister of Howard's level, unless it is a behemoth like IBM, it is difficult for them to live willingly.

Jester directly paid him to set up a law firm, and gave him half of the shares, which was called Howard Law Firm, which also satisfied Howard Garfield's vanity in a certain way.

Then Jester paid $800,000 for the law firm he hired as his legal counsel for Jester Holdings, not directly to Howard Garfield.

This money Jester can get 30%, because the contract he signed with Howard in the law firm is not only that he can only own 50% of the shares, but also that the other party has 70% of the right to dividends, in this regard, Jester after thinking about it again, and readily agreed, he knows very well how important it is to have a barrister who has an alliance of interests with him in the United States.

In the final analysis, the United States is a country of capitalists and lawyers.

"Howard, I do have something." Jester's eyes flashed with a cold light, and a finger unconsciously knocked on the table again and again, he had been on affairs for the past few days, and he had no time to deal with the international student named Yu Yunlong, and now his affairs were over, so he was also ready to end this matter.

Yes, this international student just offended him because of a trivial matter, if he was an ordinary person, he might just find an opportunity to beat him up, and this matter will be understood, after all, just vent your anger, it's just a trivial matter caused by jealousy.

But now he is not an ordinary person, he is a businessman, and he is a businessman who makes many people jealous, shopping malls are like battlefields, there is a good saying, mercy is not in charge of soldiers, righteousness is not business.

If he doesn't fight back and doesn't show his strength like others, then he will be considered a weak sheep, a baby walking in the downtown with gold ingots, and he can't even deal with a powerless international student, so who will put himself in his eyes? Then anyone can bully themselves, and if they continue like this, no matter how much money they make, they will have no prestige.

It will even become fat in the eyes of others.

This has nothing to do with morality and carelessness, just because Yu Yunlong made a mistake that must not be made in the United States.

Don't offend the rich.

This time, many Chinese are looking at themselves, and they must stand up.

Jester briefly explained to Howard what happened, in fact, even if he didn't say it, as long as he planned to let Howard solve this kind of matter, then this matter would not be hidden from him, the eyes and ears of these barristers are definitely beyond the imagination of many people, and these people take it all in black and white.

After listening, Howard just smiled, didn't even think about it, and said directly: "What do you want to do?" Car accident? Robbery? Or ......"

"Nope." Jester shook his head, he remembered a story he had read before.

It was "Ninja Dragon Sword" that had just been released, because the game was so bloody, and the sulfuric face of the game maker Zuò was angry with many people, saying that he taught bad children.

He was asked this question when he was interviewed by a British media outlet.

The sulphuric acid face answered this question very seriously.

Jester still remembers Sulphuric Face's answer at that time, and he also agrees with Sulphuric Face's explanation of violence, so he paused a little and said directly to Howard on the other end of the phone: "Howard, you must know that violence does not mean dismantling the enemy or cutting it to blood, it is not real violence. ”

"Oh?" Hearing Jester say this, Howard was a little curious, and he wanted to hear what Jester's unique understanding of violence was.

"Do you know the samurai of old Japan?"

Jester asked first, and he didn't expect Howard to answer his question, so he squinted his eyes, his tone became cold, and he kept saying, "In the tradition of the old Japanese samurai, if you want to humiliate your opponent, a real swordsman will chop off four fingers of the opponent's hand holding the sword, leaving only the thumb, so that he can no longer hold a sword in his life, and he can't become a samurai, but he has left him a thumb, which can give him a limited life, so in the future, what will happen to this samurai who has been chopped off four fingers?" He will not be able to bear this difference and commit suicide in the pain of inner torment, he will die in helplessness and shame, and no one will pity him, this is the real violence. ”

Over the phone, Howard felt a chill seeping into his bone marrow from the story Jester told.

"What do you mean......"

Before Howard could finish speaking, Jester interrupted him again.

"Howard, you know, I have nothing to do with this, I just told me two stories, one about me and the other about the Japanese samurai, I didn't mean anything, I didn't ask you to do anything, I just talked to you." Jester said with a smile.

Howard on the other end of the line took a big breath and was silent for two seconds.

"I see."

Jester smiled and said yes, then he hesitated a little before he spoke, "Don't let my grandpa know." ”

"We just had a casual phone call and talked about the recent law firms. How could Mr. Li be interested in this? Howard's laughter came out of the earpiece again, and he couldn't hear anything unusual, as if he and Jester had really been discussing the law firm.

PS1: Ask for a referral ticket!!

PS2: Actually, in the United States, you are not allowed to participate in law firms without a lawyer's license, and I have removed this rule here for the sake of the story, so don't complain if you know.
