Chapter 418: Another little prodigy
"I can't believe there are so many people today!" When Zuckerberg came to the door of Nintendo, he saw the crowd of people at the entrance of Nintendo's North American branch, and the whole person was stupid.
10-year-old Zuckerberg was one of the lucky kids, he received a birthday present on his birthday, which was a new GB console, and after turning on the console, he got one of the raffle cards.
Zuckerberg independently filled out the information on the raffle card and mailed it back to Nintendo North America, only to receive a lucky envelope a month later containing a ticket to the Nintendo Pokemon launch event.
Zuckerberg was a child prodigy from an early age, learning programming at the age of 4, successfully writing a computer game at the age of 6, and writing an instant messaging program at the age of 8, two years ago.
Yes, that's right, it's an instant messaging program, and the world's first instant messaging program to enter commercial operation, ICQ, was born in 96.
Later, ICQ had a copycat called QICQ, and then this imitator changed his name to QQ because of his reputation for avoiding plagiarism.
All in all, Zuckerberg is a child prodigy, so although he received GB as a birthday present for the first time, and he had never played a GB game before, but with curiosity about everything, Zuckerberg persuaded his father to let him fund his own travel expenses, and Zuckerberg actually went all the way to Nintendo's North American branch.
When Zuckerberg came to the door of the branch, he was shocked, because he found that there were so many people gathered at the door, and the density of the population could even match the density of the New York subway.
He couldn't understand why so many people were gathered here because it was just a game launch.
But it didn't take long for Zuckerberg to understand, because he heard people around him, almost all of them asking passers-by if they had tickets in their hands, and some even offered up to $500 to buy a ticket.
You know, that's a lot of money, enough for Zuckerberg to buy 100 floppy disks.
While the $500 was tempting, it made the press conference even more curious, and Zuckerberg used his ticket to enter and was guided inside the venue by staff.
Because Zuckerberg was very young and not very big, for safety reasons, Zuckerberg was directly taken by the staff to sit in the first row, and next to Zuckerberg was a young man in his 20s.
"Hello!" Although he was more than 10 years behind the young man around him, Zuckerberg did not have a little stage fright, and took the initiative to reach out to the young man and greet him.
"Hello, little friend!" The young man smiled and turned to shake his hand, revealing an oriental face.
"Huh!" Seeing the appearance of this young man, Zuckerberg hesitated for a moment, and then asked tentatively, "Are you from Huaxia?" ”
"How do you know?" This young man was stunned for a moment, he has been in the United States for more than 10 days, and many people think that he is from Fuso or Korean, but only the little guy in front of him recognized himself as a Chinese at a glance, which is very surprising.
"If you don't like to wear a suit, then you are definitely not a Fuso person, Fuso people wear a suit everywhere and everywhere outside, as if they will die if they don't wear a suit!" The little one said.
"Interesting!" Jia Yapeng laughed, when Fusang people go out or work, they pay special attention to formality, so all Fusang people will wear a formal dress when they go to work.
The most obvious thing is that in the hall at this time, all the Fusang staff are wearing the same style of suits, but Boss Jia has a casual coat on him.
"Then why don't you think I'm Korean?" Boss Jia asked again.
"The staff member who brought me over just now is an Asian woman, and when you see her, you take the initiative to nod and help her straighten her chair. All the Koreans I know, they are very respectful and polite when dealing with our American women. But when dealing with Asian women like them, you can be very rude, as if they are slaves, you are different from these Koreans! The little one said again.
"Awesome!" Boss Jia is really convinced, this little guy has such a vision at a young age, I'm afraid it's not the future that will go against the sky!
"What's your name, little one?" Boss Jia asked curiously.
"My name is Mark Zuckerberg!" The little guy generously introduced himself, and our Boss Jia almost lost his temper.
It seems that he really got the halo of the protagonist, and he sat at the front desk casually and met a little boy, who was actually Zuckerberg, which was also a bit nonsense.
"Ahem!" Boss Jia coughed to regain his composure, then touched little Zuckerberg's head and said, "You're also interested in games?" ”
"I love playing games!" "But I like to play computer games, I haven't played GB games!" ”
"And you're still here for this press conference?" Boss Jia asked puzzled.
"I'm here to see the world!" "I set myself the goal of becoming the world's top computer technology entrepreneur by the age of 30," Zuckerberg Jr. said. And I think games will be one of the important flashpoints of the computer industry in the future, so it is necessary for me to know about the game industry as a whole! ”
"You guy......" Boss Jia is really blessed, this guy talks a lot, much better than when he was ten years old, and when he was 10 years old, he was still bored every day, pulling the hair of the female classmates in the front row.
"You little guy, do you think the game released at this conference will be successful?" Boss Jia asked with a smile.
"I think there's a 90% chance of success!" Zuckerberg Jr. said.
"Why?" Boss Jia asked curiously.
"Because I almost got squeezed into a sardine canned outside!" Zuckerberg Jr. rolled his eyes and said, "Do you know how many people out there are willing to pay $500 for an admission ticket?" ”
"But there are still a lot of people who are willing to pay $200 for a Pokemon game cartridge, because I heard that those who have a ticket can get a free box of the latest Pokemon game cartridges!"
"I made a preliminary calculation, the crowd outside is about 1,200 people, and according to the Memphis model, behind every player who is willing to travel thousands of miles to participate in the event, there are generally about 100 other players who are too lazy to come."
"So there are at least 120,000 players waiting to buy Pokemon in the entire United States, and if you extrapolate according to the boundary theorem, then the actual number of buyers may reach about 1.2 million, which is undoubtedly a very successful number for a game!" Zuckerberg said lightly.
