The number of downloads of Plants vs. Zombies has been rising, the number of payments has been maintained at 80%, the development of the photo wall is also very orderly, and the basic function templates have been fully developed.

"Boss, Plants vs. Zombies has been paid for 8 million times, we have successfully landed in the Canadian market and the European market, and other versions have been developed. It is expected that next week, our revenue will be able to explode again. ”

In the president's office in Apple, Wen Ming smelled the smell of decoration that had not yet been cleaned, and said with some discomfort: "Is the advertising copy of the photo wall ready?" When the development of the photo wall is completed, we will push our new products in "Plants vs. Zombies". ”

8 million times of payment, which represents 10 million downloads, such a huge user group, if used for advertising, the effect is very amazing.

As for the 8 million payments, which brought more than $23.92 million in revenue, Wen Ming was not surprised. Because the original developer of the game "Plants vs. Zombies" has created a revenue of more than 100 million US dollars a year.

Moreover, the benefits of the game "Plants vs. Zombies" will gradually diminish after the explosion in the next two weeks. Because it is a one-time paid game, and the number of users worldwide is limited. Even if Wen Ming asks for the development of "Plants vs. Zombies 2", or other special editions, it will need to wait for the market to digest it for a period of time before it can be launched.

"It's done." After hesitating for a moment, the person who made the report said, "Boss, I have to say that your advertising cost is a bit too big. If we launch a special edition, if we can sell it, we can definitely get at least millions of dollars, so that users can update it for free, just for an advertisement......"

Wen Ming laughed and said, "Millions of dollars can indeed buy a good advertising position, and the audience may be more than our users." But if it's just pure advertising, do you think users will really download it in the first place? ”

Because Plants vs. Zombies is a client-side game, no updates will be available after a one-time purchase. Normally, if a special edition is released, it will need to be sold separately, which also makes the maintenance cost of the game even cheaper.

In order to advertise his new product photo wall, Wen Ming decided to provide a free update special edition service to existing paid users, hoping to make the registered users of the photo wall skyrocket.

But the value of any social app depends on the number of active users, and the success of the Instagram in another world makes Wenming not worry about the popularity of this software in this world. What he needs to solve is to expand the number of users of the photo wall in as short a period of time as possible.

"Moreover, this special edition of ours is mainly for users of mobile clients, because our photo wall users are users who use mobile phones. If it is sold normally, the profit that mobile phone users can provide to our company is not as much as you think. ”

"But now, no matter what platform you play Plants vs. Zombies, if you want to get a special edition update, you have to download our Instagram app, do you think it's worth the deal?"

The reporting staff shook their heads and said, "Boss, you are a genius, what you say makes sense!" ”

After the staff member left Wen Ming's office, Wen Ming hurriedly signed a few documents, then left his office and ran to the side of the road outside the company to breathe heavily.

Even if the decoration materials used are non-polluting and environmentally friendly materials, those smells are also a burden for Wenming's current physical state.

The success of the operation does not mean that Wen Ming's physical condition is the same as that of a normal person.

"With my physical state, even if I can breed dinosaurs, I can't escape the pursuit of dinosaurs. If I can't escape the dinosaurs, how can I continue to dream? ”

After taking a few deep breaths, Wen Ming was a little helpless.

"Well, I've thought too much, I don't even have a clue about raising dinosaurs, so why bother thinking about escaping dinosaurs?"

It has been two weeks since I met Cui Chuanming. Over the course of two weeks, he also met with a number of other experts, but the answers he got were all whimsical. There are also people who are willing to accept his funding, but after investigation, Wen Ming determined that those people are trying to cheat money.

"Do you want to set up a research room of my own?"

Wen Ming frowned, although he was now a multimillionaire, he was still very far from creating a research room. After getting his knowledge of the genetic technology used in Jurassic Park to breed dinosaurs, he also got an idea of the price of those devices.

Coupled with the cost of the site, and the high salaries of the researchers, 20 million US dollars, there is no way to build the island laboratory in "Jurassic Park".

And, if this money is invested in the research of resurrecting dinosaurs, what will happen to his dream of an Apple empire?

The profits created by dinosaur research are far less than those of the real Apple empire.

"It's another endless loop, if you put into production Apple's hardware products, you won't be able to study dinosaurs. Without the production of Apple's hardware, there would not be enough money to study dinosaurs. ”

Wen Ming was a little frustrated, for others, this was actually an easy choice to make, first to invest in apples, and then to study dinosaurs.

But for a person like him who has not lived long, this is definitely a very difficult choice.

You know, even if you can successfully breed dinosaurs, how long will it take for dinosaurs to grow up?

Can the pursuit of the little dinosaur make him dream again?

Just when Wen Ming felt that life was difficult, his mobile phone rang, and when he saw an unfamiliar number, Wen Ming actually didn't want to answer it. Because recently, with Apple's popularity in the game market, many people want to cooperate with Apple.

In other words, in cooperation with "Plants vs. Zombies", anyone with a discerning eye can see the value of 8 million users.

"It's still too short to start a business, and many conditions are not available."

When Wen Ming picked up the phone, he had an urge to recruit one or more assistants, the kind of assistants who were white, big and soft.

"Hello, is this Mr. Wen Ming?"

Wen Ming heard some familiar voices, frowned and asked, "Are you?" ”

"I'm Cui Chuanming, and we met two weeks ago."

Cui Chuanming hugged the phone, a little didn't know how to speak, he rejected Wen Ming mercilessly two weeks ago, but two weeks later he took the initiative to call Wen Ming.

Wen Ming remembered this fellow Chinese and said, "Hello Mr. Cui, have you changed your mind?" ”

For Cui Chuanming, the person who refused his funding for research, Wen Ming had some good feelings.

Cui Chuanming hesitated for a moment and then said: "You told me a conjecture before, if you can get a blood sample of a dinosaur and analyze the genes of a dinosaur, you can 'resurrect' a dinosaur, do you remember?" ”

Wen Ming replied: "Of course, the blood sample of the dinosaur is a prerequisite for me to complete my 'dream'. ”

Cui Chuanming was silent for a while, and just when Wen Ming thought the phone was disconnected, he spoke: "Mr. Wen, I know where there are samples of dinosaur blood. ”
