New York, inside a mansion.

Teresa Roy asked in a very surprised tone, "They are like this, the transformation is successful?" And, still in such a short period of time? ”

When any company reaches a bottleneck, it needs to transform in order to seek greater development space.

The transformation of a game company has always been the most difficult, but it is also necessary, because no one can guarantee that the game they have painstakingly developed will be recognized by the market. Even world-renowned game companies such as Blizzard and EA are actually not only making games, but also publishing, publishing, and entertainment.

When Apple was first founded, no one except Wen Ming knew what the company was going to do. And after the development of "Plants vs. Zombies", everyone who knows this company thinks that Apple is a game company and will only be a game company in the future.

Including James, Sith and others, they all had the same idea.

The development of Instagarm, except for people inside Apple, the outside world did not know the news in advance.

Teresa Roy sent someone to check Wen Ming's bottom before, but she didn't find the product Instagarm at that time, not because of any secrecy, but because no one could have imagined that Apple would develop a new product in only 3 weeks.

Moreover, these 3 weeks also include all the work before the official launch.

"Our investment company has already given an analysis report."

Teresa Roy's butler said: "They believe that Apple's product will not bring significant revenue to Apple, because they do not charge for this software at present, and they will not be able to charge in the future." If they only use these users to seek advertising revenue, the revenue will definitely not exceed the revenue generated by the game "Plants vs. Zombies". ”

"But if they can find the right seller, the software could bring at least $300 million in direct revenue to Apple."

Cui Chuanming was very fast, and after learning about the Instagarm product, he downloaded and used it himself for the first time in order to be cautious, and then learned about the number of registered users of this software, and even consulted some professors at Harvard Business School.

Once he had the confidence, he persuaded his teacher, Benjamin Lischild, to contact Teresa Roy again.

Both Cui Chuanming and his teacher Benjamin are people who focus on scientific research. If someone is willing to fund them to 'resurrect' dinosaurs, they are certainly willing to leave their names in the history of mankind.

The premise is that there is a blood sample of the dinosaur.

Before there was a blood sample, Cui Chuanming directly rejected Wen Ming's research funding, because it was impossible. After having a blood sample, although there is a chance of success, there is a possibility of success.

Therefore, both the master and apprentice have become Wenming's best lobbyists.

After being reminded by Benjamin, Teresa Roy sent someone to check Wen Ming's bottom again, so there is the current scene.

"$300 million? Hehe...... This young man is really amazing. ”

Teresa Roy laughed, "When I was 19 years old, did I have that much money? ”

The housekeeper smiled: "When you were 19 years old, you were studying in India, and if I remember correctly, you didn't even have the money to return home because you wanted to help those Indians who were brutalized by the hierarchy. ”

Teresa Roy was reminded of the housekeeper's words, evoking some unhappy memories, and the two years of studying in India were the first time he saw the darkness of the world. He once thought that racial discrimination in the United States was serious enough, but he did not expect that there was also a 'big country' where there was a hierarchy among its citizens.

"When I was 19 years old, I had no money, and by the time he was 19, he had already earned $300 million. No wonder he dared to fund Benjamin's research on how to 'resurrect' dinosaurs, a man who was both a genius and a madman at the same time. ”

The butler said, "Isn't it the idea of a madman to want to eliminate the hierarchy in India?" ”

"Haha......"

Teresa Roy laughed a few times, then said, "Help me contact Benjamin and ask him to relay this name...... Sniff...... Toll? If he wants to 'resurrect' the dinosaurs, come and see me. I want to see for myself how crazy this genius really is! ”

The butler frowned, and he noticed that Teresa's words were not about buying dinosaur blood samples, but about 'resurrecting' dinosaurs, which were completely different concepts.

……

At this time, Wen Ming didn't know this 'good news', and he was talking with Tom Ding, a salesman of the American Century Investment Company.

"To sum up, if you want to sell Instagarm for a high price, we at Century Investments are definitely your best choice."

In the process of getting off the plane and feeling Apple, Thomding received a call from the company, and the company's risk assessment department analyzed that the main purpose of Apple's development of Instagram is to convert users of "Plants vs. Zombies" into users who can provide secondary profits.

Judging from the current Instagarm free trial model, Apple is likely to want to sell this product directly after the number of users reaches a certain level, or even sell Apple.

One of the most important reasons is that Wen Ming, the boss of Apple, has a lifespan of only about 5 years due to terminal illness, and the luckiest person will not survive for ten years.

What could be better for a young person than to get a large sum of money and start enjoying life to the fullest when he knows he is dying?

Wen Ming looked at Tomding's confident expression and laughed in his heart.

Tomding was right, he did want to sell Instagarm, but only Instagarm. Of course, if someone wants to buy Plants vs. Zombies, he doesn't have any opinion, as long as the price is right.

Apple's future, neither Instagram nor Plants vs. Zombies, can match its brand values. Rather than this, it is better to sell these two products now in exchange for enough funds to provide sufficient impetus for Apple's development.

"Mr. Tomding, as I understand it, the way you learned about this product was because of the game Plants vs. Zombies?"

The sudden change of topic did not make Tomding feel any unpleasant, on the contrary, Tomding's conversation became stronger.

If his boss knew about this, he would definitely be proud of his foresight. Tomding is so obsessed with games that he can even ignore his own job when it comes to games.

Therefore, Tomding lost his daughter-in-law and Hollywood screenwriting job, and was positioned by his boss as a salesman of an investment company that could only analyze and invest in IP.

"Yes, that's right."

Tomding suddenly said to Wen Ming with a look of adoration: "I have to say, you are really a genius, the game "Plants vs. Zombies" is definitely the pinnacle of mini-games in recent years, and it is a real phenomenal game." ”

Tomding's sudden change of attitude surprised Wen Ming, could it be that he suddenly had the spirit of a king?

Thomding completely ignored Wen Ming's expression and continued to tout "Plants vs. Zombies", and suggested a lot of things that could be improved in his opinion.

After listening patiently for a while, Wen Ming couldn't help but interrupt Tomding's words and asked, "Mr. Tomding, I want to know, what kind of work were you engaged in before?" ”

"Hollywood screenwriter and part-time game company planner."

Tomding asked with some pride, "Have you heard of Call of Duty and Crysis?" ”

Wen Ming was instantly shocked and asked, "You developed this?" ”

"No!" Thomding said a little shyly, "I'm only involved in part of the game planning. ”

Wen Ming breathed a sigh of relief, it was really too well-known for these two games, especially the Call of Duty series.

"Then why did you change careers...... What about a job at a VC firm? ”

Thomding was speechless!
