Unparalleled True Technology

Naturally, it is impossible for a game to operate on only one platform.

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

When the number of users of Plants vs. Zombies continued to increase, Apple began to launch additional platform versions.

The game's structure, levels, etc. already have fixed templates, and it is very easy to transfer them to other platforms.

If Jobs knew that I'm putting Apple together like this now, would he...

Apple, the world's most valuable brand in the previous life, has become a game manufacturer in the hands of Wen Ming, and it is also a small game manufacturer. This has to be said to be a great irony.

But Wen Ming had no choice. When Jobs founded Apple, there was no personal computer market at all. He and his partners bought parts and assembled them into computers in a warehouse, and then began to sell them.

The cost of assembling this kind of 'computer' is only a few tens of dollars, and selling one can make double the money. After having accumulated a certain amount of savings, Jobs began to entrust the factory to produce, mass-produce and expand the scale.

The time node Wen Ming is in now is already 2009, not 1976 when there were no personal computers.

Who said that a company that started out as a game cannot become the company with the most brand value in the world?

Wen Ming has no doubts about his dream.

Even Nokia, which is now in full swing and has a market value of over 100 billion U.S. dollars, was once just a small company selling butt wipes.

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

Renovate the company, recruit people, and develop new projects. These tasks have begun to proceed 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 downloads have reached 2.7 million times, and the number of paying users has reached 2.37 million times.

The United States is very strong in cracking down on piracy, which means that there are no pirated or cracked versions of Plants vs. Zombies on the market. Of course, it is also 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 US dollars.

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

In Wen Ming's previous life, a company called Shanda 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 with a daily revenue of more than 1 million RMB, but now, Wen Ming's average daily revenue, converted into RMB, 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 on other platforms must be put on the shelves as soon as possible. We must rush to make our products a must-play game for everyone when there is no game of the same type on the market.

In the slightly shabby conference room, Wen Ming said with the sound of decoration as the background: Besides, open the markets of other countries as soon as possible. Players from Canada, Europe and other countries are already waiting to send money to us. In your pocket, don't you want it?

The people in the conference room were all elated. A game that they participated in developing with their own hands was able to achieve such a success. This group of college students who had just graduated or hadn't graduated felt a great sense of honor.

The market in western countries has always been based on the United States,

Not to mention Canada, a completely Americanized country, European countries including the UK also use the US market as a reference.

As long as you can succeed in the US market, then you must be able to succeed in these countries.

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

After arranging the tasks, Wen Ming no longer cared about the market of Plants vs. Zombies. As a boss, he couldn't do everything himself.

When there is no funds, it is natural to be ready to go to battle in person at all times. After having funds, the number of employees of Apple has quickly grown 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 game. Many students from Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Boston University have listed their employment companies after graduation. , joined Apple Inc.

It is a pity for Wen Ming that so far, the students who want to join Apple are all game-loving students. Because everyone thinks that Apple will become a well-known game company, and it is just a game company.

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

As the founder of Apple Inc., after some small achievements in his own company, Wen Ming began to be a bit of a loser.

His goal today is to return to Harvard University.

Of course, he didn't go back to continue his studies, nor was he invited to give a speech at Harvard University. He hasn't reached that point yet.

His real goal was to visit a Harvard researcher.

David didn't have class today, so he waited early on the campus of Harvard University. Seeing Wenming getting off the public transportation, David asked a little puzzled: After others earn money, the first thing is to Buying a car, you are already a multi-millionaire now, why do you still need public transportation?

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

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

With the royalties of 500,000 volumes of novels, plus the revenue of 7 million US dollars in a week, it is not an exaggeration to say that Wen Ming is a multi-millionaire.

Wen Ming laughed and said: I've been too busy these days, and I don't have time to choose a car. If I have time these two days, we can choose a few cars together.

several...

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

David stopped in the middle of speaking, he believed that Wen Ming could understand what he meant.

Wen Ming smiled, didn't express his thanks, and asked directly: Have you made an appointment with there yet?

When it came to business, David said seriously: I have already made an appointment. The person who will meet us today is Cui... Chuan... Ming!

Because of frequent contact with Wen Ming, David's Chinese pronunciation is much better than other Americans.

Hearing this name, Wen Ming frowned: Korean?

No no no...

David waved his hand and said, He is from the same country as you, and he is also a Chinese. He is now an assistant researcher in the Department of Biology.

assistant researcher?

Wen Ming stopped in his tracks. There was a big gap between this and what he and David asked.

David smiled awkwardly: I also wanted to ask the professor, but the professor didn't have time, so he only sent this researcher named Cui Chuanming. However, I asked my friend, he is still very good, and published with his supervisor I have published several papers, all in highly professional journals.”

Wen Ming understood, and said helplessly: As expected of Harvard University, I made it clear that I wanted to fund their research, but they only sent an assistant researcher to see me.

David asked hesitantly, Then... shall we still meet?

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

See!
