Chapter 1886: Standing and Speaking Does Not Back Pain

“Boss, we've just taken down the British royal family and they've agreed to officially settle in the INS... ”

Just finishing a video conference with the London Finance Division, Andy, who had a coffee break, received a call from INS headquarters, and as soon as the call was made, he heard a very exciting voice message from his subordinates.

Andy picked his eyebrows slightly, although he didn't care about adding a so-called 'Royal INS’ account, but it was after all a result of some effort in public relations and a milestone in INS promotion in Europe.

“Boss, this“ Royal Twitter ”account will be used by the network team at Buckingham Palace and Clarence Palace in the UK. It has been open for 15 minutes and the account has attracted more than 2,000 followers. ”

“Oh, well done and keep up the good work, this step you can continue your PR, preferably by having the Queen open a private account.” Andy smiled softly and encouraged.

“ ”After a brief silence on the other end of the phone, he responded hastily:“ Good boss. ”

Andy shook his head and hung up with a smile, which is one of the few good news he has received since he released his phone number to all employees in several of his companies.

In fact, since the INS interview, Andy has pulled a lot of celebrities into the INS family through his influence, and as INS gradually succeeds, he has attracted many other celebrities to open an account.

According to ComScore, a market research institute, INS is expected to have 176 million users worldwide as of May this year, more than 26-fold higher than the same period last year.

Of course, INS is still in the promotion stage, taking over the market, burning money so badly that Andy would have had the intention to throw it out for Round A financing, but after all, this stage is the touchdown period of the financial crisis, and everyone is waiting carefully for a rebound, whether in terms of company valuation or financing funds, to maximize their profits.

And the massive infusion of water into the dollar, the constant depreciation, the financing now, is a bit of a loss, so he can only continue to burn it for a while, and when the traffic data reaches a certain value, all he has to do is come up with a flow realisation plan and neglect a very substantial amount of money, but either INS or himself, can make a fortune, add a zero to the amount of money he burned before, or get two zeros back.

And the video conference with Mockingbird Gaming Company, which went very smoothly and very briefly, now Mockingbird Gaming Company doesn't need to devote much of his time and energy to constant attention. In addition to understanding the development and operation of the following games, this video conference is about the construction progress of the headquarters of the new company.

Of course, there was good news that Penguin Farm, launched in partnership with penguins, was officially popular all day, with an average of 30 million people online at the same time, joining the army of vegetarians.

Say, "Did you steal?” It is becoming the most commonly spoken topic in real life for Networkers and even people. From elementary school students aged seven or eight, to young white-collars in their twenties, to middle-aged and elderly people who have lived their lives... The prevalence of penguin farms today is an indisputable fact.

The most appealing part of the game is "stealing.” Friends enter their garden when the fruit is ripe to steal vegetables and score upgrades as well. You steal me, I steal you, hundreds of millions of internet friends, hundreds of millions of farmers, steal a mess.

I don't know how many people set the alarm clock and woke up in their fields in the morning to “pack" food, and then went to their friends' houses to grab sheep and steal some wormgrass, ginseng and other expensive “crops”. Later in the night, sleepy online “growing vegetables"...

While it doesn't take RNB to buy a spot card to play, like another popular online warcraft world, free play in no way means that penguin farms are “money for drinks”.

In fact, it is the low threshold of free gaming on the penguin farm that attracts tens of thousands of players who are willing to spend money on the farm. Why is that?

“To play better than others, you have to pay more for props. ”

Penguin members get $10 a month, yellow diamonds get $10 a month. Although the QQ farm does not charge, it does not spend less than playing paid large-scale internet games. Fertilizer, dog food must be bought with penguin coins so that the dishes are not stolen.

Because working with penguins is exclusive, penguin farms generate up to RMB 50 million a month!

Of course, half of the profits belong to the Mockingjay Games Company, which earns $3.67 million a month, making it a sucker monster!

“Ha-ha-ha... ”

Andy's happy laughter echoed back in the office. Unlike in previous life, in order to prevent the emergence of some companies' cottages in Heavenly Dynasty, Mockingbird Gaming Company had long ago combined with Penguin to strictly control the appearance of cottage games. Once similar games appeared on other JIAO platforms, they would react immediately and sue each other in court. Even Andy's WeatherCloud Capital Investment Happy Net could not be spared, thus avoiding the game being diverted from other platforms to players from the beginning.

In this way, the life cycle of the penguin farm will be greatly prolonged, after all, without an everlasting online tour, not to mention this simple social JIAO game.

Andy, in a beautiful mood, took his little assistant on a helicopter to David Stern's appointment, and Andy didn't know anything about the reason for David Stern's invitation.

David Stern has been briefed through the media for some time now, hoping that the coalition will develop a plan to restore yields, while the first negotiations between the two sides will take place on 4 August and the two sides will discuss issues related to the collective agreement.

As a result of the economic crisis, half of the Alliance's 30 teams lost, with few teams without losses and only 10 teams. With the severe impact of the financial crisis, many teams are expected to experience a 10 per cent drop in ticket revenue next season and a 5 per cent drop in total team revenue as a result of reduced corporate sponsorship.

Stern says he needs to “find a system” to increase the team's yield, um, what is this? Stern's motive is simple, and Stern is trying to hope the players get paid less over the next season.

Seems paradoxical, Stern says the league is in a golden age, on the one hand, and demands a salary cut for the players. Under the current collective agreement, players earn 57% of the club's income, but the players' salaries remain unchanged in the current economic downturn, causing serious losses to the team owners, and what David Stern is doing now is seeking greater benefits for the team owners.

Andy, the owner of the rocket team, naturally raised his hands in favor of this, although he was never stingy about luxury taxes and had to form a giant team, and thus had the greatest success. The second year of the team's acquisition, he won the championship of his dreams, but first he was a businessman, and the businessman was there to make money, to save money, to make more money, and that's what a successful businessman had to insist on.

“Boom!”

At the golf course, Andy swings off a golf ball and smiles at David Stern, who is ready to replace him, saying, "Indeed, in an unstable economy, the owners of the team are having problems selling tickets, and change is necessary if the NBA wants to avoid, like the Continental Basketball Association, bringing the season to an end two months earlier. ”

The financial crisis has caused the NBA the worst recession in decades, but how many teams have lost millions of dollars by signing a bad contract, and how many people like James Knicks? What about Dolan? ”

Looking at Andy's young handsome face, David Stern threw up in his heart, and he didn't think Andy, the original fighter of Golden Dollar basketball, would dare flirt with Knicks' Dolan!

Well, Knicks is indeed a foolish example of money, and you, Andy Smith, have actually played Golden Dollar basketball, but it's also your mess that has caused the NBA All-Star players to rise significantly in price...

“Indeed, from now on, the players are not in a hurry to sign a new collective agreement, but none of us would want to see the '99 NBA industrial dispute bring the league to a standstill again.

So I've appointed 10 people to form a Labor Negotiation Committee, a team that will negotiate with player representatives for the first time on August 4 to discuss issues related to the NBA Labor Agreement.

Both sides must compromise, or the NBA will really be poor with only the planets left! ”

“Ha ha, David, you're so funny.” Andy couldn't help laughing when he heard David Stern throw up. After laughing, Andy also said helplessly: “Anyway, all we rocket teams can think of is to go on all kinds of promotions together, hopefully the ball market will be better, just let our cheerleaders dance in socks! ”

“Pff--”

Stern almost sprayed his old blood.
