Great Power

Chapter 140: That Will Make You Lose

"No, we are going to release a game cassette."

Corris’s arrival is considered a good face, but he has said so much and thinks he has given up such a large preferential terms. After all, the current game development programmers are all getting monthly salary, not more than two a month. Thousands of dollars, originally thought that one-fifth was given more, but he did not expect that Zheng Jianguo would not answer the call. When this idea flashed through his mind, he heard a stumbling voice: "If If you can’t accept one-third of my suggestion, then you can sign a license agreement. I don’t know how it feels to buy out one-time?"

After living in the past few days, Zheng Jianguo also entered two super plazas that even sold furniture, and found that the game consoles in the home appliance area were matched with cassettes. He did not remember that his son asked for money privately after school. A single-disk cassette.

And the current kind of bundling sales is a sales method that no company will adopt except for the famous fruits in a few decades. Zheng Jianguo Ze Huier also has a vague thought in his heart. Of course, now His cognition is still looking at flowers in the mist.

Coupled with the thought of the opportunity that will appear in the future, Zheng Jianguo also found that he was really short of money: "Not to mention whether this game is fun or not, I read that so many advertising companies in newspapers and magazines help people to do charge publicity, just I can appear on the report casually now, and I feel that I can also help you promote it now. For example, in the major reports tomorrow, Fairchild bought Zheng Jianguo’s game design for $100,000. This is a mixture of money and my name. The words should be very attractive to talents, right?"

"Ok--"

Koris blinked and turned his head to look at the middle-aged man next to him. The latter also stared back at him, feeling that the plan before the arrival of the few people had been guessed by others. To tell the truth about the game, he was true. I didn't like it, although the new ideas are so little, but after all, it's just on paper.

What a few people pictured is that this recent limelight is too strong, especially after I don’t know which newspaper reported the news that the Nobel Prize might be won, the mainstream reports from east to west from south to north are all talking about this. After a wave of hot spots, I’m afraid that I can sell more units. This is the reason why he has a one-fifth share, so he should spend money on advertising.

But he didn’t expect that Zheng Jianguo guessed this, and he also gave a suggestion that was even more exciting to him. One hundred thousand US dollars is almost one-fifth of the profit of fifty thousand units, which is also his entire income for a year, which he puts on his own. It's a number that everyone wants to beat.

Of course, although this money makes everyone's heartbeat, it is not enough to put Fairchild game console advertisements on all mainstream media. If you really do it, you can also put it in the area from Washington to Boston. It’s only a week, but if you do this, it’s not as effective as putting up more billboards on chain terminals.

Koris was heartbroken, and found that the person he was watching did not have any unusual reactions, so he raised his hand to touch the wound on his chin that was drawn out by shaving too quickly. After scratching at this position, he saw Zheng Jianguo on the opposite side. He tilted his head, his gaze seemed to shift from his face to his chin, and he said, "It's just that this authorization is conditional. You only have the right to use the TV box, and you don't have the right to transfer or adapt—"

"squeak--"

Just before Zheng Jianguo's words fell, a slight door opening sounded as Fan Dailin appeared with a tape recorder, panting face flushed to his side and put down the tape recorder and said: "There are a lot of reporters and casual staff on campus— —"

He skillfully turned on the tape recorder and looked at the tape inside. Zheng Jianguo took it out and checked it and installed it again. After pressing the record button, he said, "Hello, Mr. Corris, considering that there may be other people who are looking for it like your company. Cooperating companies, do you think the two schemes of sharing and buying out I mentioned earlier are acceptable?"

"Well, I think if the second option is the case, how much do you think Zheng is appropriate in terms of price?"

With a raised eyebrow, Koris did not expect to hear such a hidden threat. Outside the door, he came to seek cooperation with the same company-regardless of whether the other party is for a game that is still on paper, or the same as himself. In this name, he is no stranger to this kind of negotiation skills as a regional manager. The purpose is to make the other party feel a sense of crisis. Make a price. If you don’t make a price, I will let the next person make a price. It has nothing to do with you.

Of course, it doesn't matter if the asking price is low.

Inexplicably, Corris felt that there was only one bidding opportunity, so he asked directly and frankly, how do you plan to make a price?

"Considering the situation that I am now being watched by major media--"

Zheng Jianguo's stumbling mouth was a thick Chinese spoken language. Fortunately, everyone present could only listen honestly, but Fan Dailin, who was sitting next to him, raised her brows, and felt that this matter was a little beyond hers. Imagine that people are paying attention to you only because of timing. Alas, can this also be used as a means to increase the price?

"Two hundred thousand, how do you feel?"

With the effort Zheng Jianguo blurted out, Fan Dailin’s oval face suddenly flashed with surprise, while Corris looked at the man next to him and nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Andrew, one-third of the profit of 50,000 units One is always more affordable than the next one-third. I feel that even asking him as a spokesperson to advertise is worth it—"

The middle-aged man called Andrew did not speak, but turned to look at the man beside him who hadn't said a word since he came in. The latter also looked at the tape recorder that was spinning from time to time and said: " Hello, Mr. Zheng, you have set the conditions to be restricted to the TV box. If in the future Fairchild Entertainment initiates a lawsuit against other companies for infringing the game rights on the TV box, you are also obliged to help Fairchild testify in court , Can this be added to the authorization agreement?"

"This is fine."

Looking across the face of the man who was obviously the superior of Corris, Zheng Jianguo still regretted not being able to sign the long-term share agreement. Of course, this matter developed to this stage to his satisfaction, but the two sides deliberately discussed the details in front of the tape recorder. After getting the check, Fan Dailin, who recovered from the content, spoke when he was about to give it away: "Zheng Jianguo, you should wait. When there are enough people paying attention to your game, you can hold an auction. Auctioned, so that you can maximize your profits—"

"Oh, thanks!"

Zheng Jianguo blinked and nodded. Corris next to him was already nervously looking over. He only heard what they were waiting for in the conversation. He immediately beckoned to Zheng Jianguo: "Come, Mr. Zheng, let's come. Let's announce this news together?"

"it is good!"

Looking at the silhouette of the reporter running in the distance, Zheng Jianguo did not find the leader of Corris, and he knew that the person who did not want to see these reporters came next to him, and the reporter who was already close had already picked up the camera. After clicking it, he said familiarly: "Zheng, I heard that you are going to make a game console? Didn't you study Helicobacter?"

"Zheng, is this your partner of the game console?"

"Zheng, I heard from the Boston Regional News--"

"The game was only discovered by accident. My current identity is still a study-oriented student. The research on Helicobacter, a pathogenic bacteria, still needs to be deepened. Only now considering that I have only come to a few days, the oral English expression is harmonious. The vocabulary is still lacking, and the learning of oral English is still my main task now—"

Standing in front of five or six reporters, talking about his time and future direction in his study and life, Zheng Jianguo did not wait for anyone to continue to ask questions, and made a polite gesture to Corris and said: "This is Mr. Corris. Mr. Reese represents Fairchild Company--"

"Entertainment, Fairchild Entertainment."

Koris’s smiled brows were a reminder, Zheng Jianguo also showed a sneer and said: “Sorry, everyone understands my spoken English, oh, I’m sorry, I can remember the name of my partner incorrectly. I think this should be an unnecessary mistake. Well, Fairchild Entertainment has obtained the authorization of my semi-finished game and can develop game content based on the TV box-congratulations, Corris."

"Oh, thanks!"

A surprised look at Zheng Jianguo, who had a completely different impression from the previous calm impression, Koris also shook his hand and shook his hand, smiling at two or three reporters who raised the camera and clicked. Hearing him speak: "Then I won't send Mr. Corris off--"

"Very nice to meet you, Mr. Shen, goodbye!"

Corris, who left a huge check and a back view, waved his hand as if he was a friend and left. Zheng Jianguo stood on the steps and walked two steps down to be delivered. Someone next to him said: "Zheng, you and Fairchild Entertainment How did you cooperate?"

"It's a deal—"

Zheng Jianguo smiled and said subconsciously, and realized that some of the contents of the previously signed agreement were confidential. For example, on the specific game content, he immediately changed his words: "It is to authorize the magic cube to them, oh, this game is called Magic Cube, I believe everyone will be able to play this game soon—"

"Magic Cube~"

Seven or eight reporters took a pen and jotted it down in the notebook in an instant. Someone raised his hand high and said, "Can you ask what the authorized amount is?"

"Oh, sorry, this is confidential."

Zheng Jianguo shook his head with a brilliant face and said, just looking at so many faces in front of him, he continued to speak: "It's a sum, um, for me it is astronomical money——"

"Astronomical money?"

"Are there five thousand?"

"Is there ten thousand?"

"How are you going to spend this money?"

Someone asked in the noisy voice, Zheng Jianguo turned his head and looked around, only to see a girl who was more immature than Fan Dailin looking at him curiously, holding a pen and notebook in her hand as if she wanted to record He had a good memory. He immediately remembered that this was the little reporter who went to the Boston terminal from Washington before boarding the plane a few days ago. He smiled and said, "There are no plans yet. There are places to live and eat. Putting it in the bank, I am afraid that the bank will fail. After I arrived, I knew that the bank would fail again. What advice do you have to ensure that it will not disappear—"

"Ah, it won't disappear? You mean safe, right?"

The girl holding the notebook quickly glanced up at him as he noted on the notebook, and continued to speak: “I want to be safe. I think it’s safer to buy gold. Oh, go to a big bank to buy it. Don’t buy it in a small bank. The possibility of a big bank’s failure is small. You won’t lose money when you buy gold. As long as you don’t invest, you won’t worry about losing it.”

"But that would be a waste. Store it in the bank for the banker to make a fortune."

Another reporter next to him followed, and found that Zheng Jianguo turned his head and looked around and shrugged his shoulders and said, "Zheng, do you know about inflation? Instead of putting it in the bank for bankers and speculators to make money, it's better to buy it. Gold, at least you still have gold in the end, a kilogram or a kilogram, it will not shrink like money, is there anything in this world that holds more value than gold?"

"Where's the silver? Can't its value be preserved?"

Zheng Jianguo asked subconsciously. This was originally because he was expressing his incomprehension about finance, but the reporters who asked this question suddenly laughed: "How is it possible? There is no way to compare silver and gold, because There is so much silver in the world. It is said that there are mountains in Japan that are full of silver. This kind of large reserves cannot hold its value. Zheng, don't you go to buy silver—"

"That will make you lose."

"It will lose your "astronomical" gains~"

"It's better to buy gold, gold is the most valuable-"

"But silver, it seems to have risen for many years--"

The reporter underneath was advising Zheng Jianguo in the noise. A familiar voice came from behind him. Turning to look at Fan Dailin who deliberately lowered her voice, she nodded, then turned her head and wanted to speak. The voice came over suddenly: "Zheng, is your game authorized to others?"

"Already authorized to Fairchild Entertainment."

Zheng Jianguo looked at the other party’s full-faced beard and said. He didn’t expect the other party to turn around and leave. He didn’t even say hello. He immediately raised his voice and said, “But that’s a limited license. If you give the price you can give If I bring an astronomical feeling--"

"Do you want to get the share?"

The man with a beard and urn spoke with an urn and took off his hat. Zheng Jianguo discovered that although the man had a big beard, his skin was not very old. As a doctor, he could naturally see that the approximate age of this man was not Will be over thirty years old, immediately blinked and turned his head and said: "If you don't mind, let's go inside and talk about—"

"Well--"

Hesitation flashed across his beard-filled face, and he immediately went up the steps with his hat. When I looked at the reporters next to him, he heard Zheng Jianguo say goodbye to these people: "Okay, okay, thank you everyone, let me see Can this dude surprise me—"
