Naturally, a game can't operate on just one platform.

PC client version, web version, community version, mobile client version.

As the number of Plants vs. Zombies users grew, Apple began to launch additional platform versions.

The game's architecture, levels, etc., already have a fixed template, and it's very easy to convert them to other platforms.

"If Jobs knew that I had made Apple like this now, wouldn't it be ......?"

In the previous life, Apple, which had the world's largest brand value, has become a game manufacturer in the hands of Wen Ming, and it is also a manufacturer of mini games. This has to be said to be a great irony.

When Jobs founded Apple, there was no market for personal computers on the market, so he and his partners bought parts to assemble their own 'computers' in a warehouse, and then began to sell them.

The cost of assembling a 'computer' is only a few tens of dollars per computer, and you can earn double the money by selling one. After having a certain amount of savings, Jobs began to entrust factory production for mass production and scale expansion.

And Wen Ming is now at the time node, it is already 2009, not 1976 without personal computers.

"Who says that a company that starts out in games can't become the most valuable company in the world?"

Wen Ming didn't have the slightest doubt about his dream.

"Even now, Nokia, which is in full swing and has a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars, used to be just a small company that sold butt paper."

The popularity of the game "Plants vs. Zombies" has given Wen Ming plenty of cash flow in his hands, and he no longer needs to use his own royalties, such as bank loans, to maintain the company's operations for the time being.

The company's secondary decoration, recruitment, and development of new projects have begun to be carried out in an orderly manner.

"Boss, as of twelve o'clock last night, our PC version of "Plants vs. Zombies" has been on sale for a week, and the number of downloads has reached 2.7 million, and the number of paid users has reached 2.37 million."

The United States has a very strong crackdown on piracy, which makes there no pirated and cracked versions of "Plants vs. Zombies" on the market at all, and of course, because "Plants vs. Zombies" has only been on the shelves for a week.

"With 2.37 million payments, our cumulative revenue has reached $7.0863 million."

If a game can sell well, or if it has enough users, it will always be a money-attracting tool. Moreover, it is an absolute cash flow, not a so-called virtual market capitalization.

Wen Ming had a company called Shanda in his previous life, which relied on a game called "Legend" to make its boss the richest man in China at the age of 31.

At that time, "Legend" set a record of more than 1 million yuan in revenue every day, and now, Wen Ming's daily income is averaged into RMB, which is seven times that of Shanda at that time.

However, these achievements did not make Wen Ming complacent.

Because he knows that $7 million a week is definitely not the end of "Plants vs. Zombies".

"Versions of other platforms must be put on the shelves as soon as possible, and we must seize the time when there are no games of the same type on the market, so that our products can become a must-play game for everyone."

Wen Ming said in the slightly humble conference room, with the sound of decoration as the background: "In addition, open the markets of other countries as soon as possible, Canada, Europe and other countries, players in these countries are already waiting to send money to our pockets, don't you want it?" ”

The people in the conference room were elated, and the success of a game developed by them made them feel a great sense of honor for their group of college students who had just graduated and those who had not yet graduated.

The market of Western countries has always been based on the United States, not to mention Canada, a completely Americanized country, and European countries, including the United Kingdom, are also based on the American market.

As long as we can succeed in the U.S. market, we will succeed in these countries.

Just like Facebook, how can it become a world-class social network if it relies only on users in the United States?

After arranging the task, Wen Ming no longer cares about the market of "Plants vs. Zombies", as the boss, he can't do everything himself.

When there is no funding, it is natural to be ready to go into battle in person, and after having funds, the number of employees at Apple quickly grew from 10 to 50.

Now, Apple is very famous in the Boston area, thanks to the hundreds of college students who participated in the trial, and many students from Harvard, MIT, and Boston University have joined Apple on their list of career goals after graduation.

What makes Wen Ming feel a pity is that so far, the students who want to join Apple are all students who love games. Because everyone thinks that Apple will become a well-known game company, and it will only be a game company.

But is Apple's future really just a well-known game company?

As the founder of Apple, Wen Ming began to be a little out of business after some small achievements in his company.

His goal today is to return to Harvard.

Of course, he wasn't going back to continue his studies, nor was he invited back to Harvard to speak, and he wasn't there yet.

His real goal was to visit a researcher at Harvard.

David didn't have classes today, he waited early on the campus of Harvard University, and when he saw the sound of coming down from the public transportation, David asked a little puzzled: "After others make money, the first thing is to buy a car, you have become a multimillionaire now, why do you still do public transportation?" ”

When he asked this question, David also had some feelings, more than a month ago, when Wen Ming had just returned from a desert island, he was still a poor man who needed to worry about the cost of treatment. But after that, Wen Ming published a novel, and in a month, the sales volume has exceeded 500,000 copies.

Not to mention the money earned by the novel, even a company founded by Wen Ming half a month ago released its first product in this half a month, and achieved incredible market results.

With a royalty of 500,000 novels and a revenue of $7 million a week, it is not an exaggeration to say that Wen Ming is a multimillionaire.

Wen Ming laughed and said: "It's too busy for a while, and I don't have time to choose a car, if we have time in the past two days, we can choose a few together." ”

Several......

David coughed dryly and said, "I still have to remind you that although your company makes money, you must pay attention to your health, don't forget, you ......"

Halfway through his words, David stopped, believing that Wen Ming would understand what he meant.

Wen Ming smiled, didn't express his gratitude, and asked directly, "Have you made an appointment with that side?" ”

Speaking of business, David said seriously: "I have made an appointment, the person who will meet us today is called Cui ...... Transmit...... Bright! ”

Because of his frequent contact with Wen Ming, David's pronunciation of Mandarin is not much stronger than that of other Americans.

Hearing this name, Wen Ming frowned: "Koreans? ”

"No, no, no......"

David waved his hand and said, "It's from the same country as you, and he's also from Huaxia, and he's now an assistant researcher in the Department of Biology." ”

"Research assistant?"

Wen Ming stopped, this was a big gap between this and the request he made with David.

David smiled a little embarrassedly: "I also want to make an appointment with the professor, but the professor doesn't have time, so he only sent this researcher named Cui Chuanming." However, I inquired with my friend, and he was still very good, and he published several papers with his supervisor, all in highly professional journals. ”

Wen Ming understood, and said helplessly: "It's worthy of Harvard University, I made it clear that I was here to fund their research, but they only sent an assistant researcher to see me." ”

David asked with some hesitation, "What about ...... We can't see each other yet? ”

Wen Ming thought of his physical condition and continued to walk forward.

"See you!"
