The appearance of Tetris was unexpected, but it was also a great opportunity.
Even though the U.S. economy has just experienced the disastrous 'Black Monday' and has been hit hard, there is no doubt that the United States is still a hotbed of capital and technology. If we can use this opportunity to open up the situation and gain a foothold in the United States, we will be able to gain a foothold in the United States. will take a big step forward in its development.
A few days ago, he had entrusted an agency to register a technology company in California. After getting the license in a few days, he would hand over the personal Tetris copyright to the company for custody, so that it would be more convenient to use the company's name for future affairs. many.
Tuk-tuk-tuk~
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door. He stood up and opened the door. When he saw Zhao Xueyao standing at the door with a blushing face, he immediately smiled and said: "Go to the restaurant?"
"No, you know this, right?" Zhao Xueyao handed the newspaper to Li Xiucheng, pointed to the sale notice above, and said excitedly: "You can see how good the advertising feedback is by looking at the pricing of these people. Your prediction is right. Tetris is on fire!”
"Yes, so you have your souvenirs." After teasing, Li Xiucheng asked curiously: "Where is your follower?"
Zhao Yimo and Zhao Xueyao have been inseparable these days, and this metaphor couldn't be more appropriate.
Zhao Xueyao smiled and said: "It's behind! Be careful if she hears it and gets angry, she will beat you and cry."
"I'm a grown man and...ahem, let's go and eat!"
A pair of long legs rushed in from the corner of his eye, and Li Xiuzhi immediately closed the door and signaled to leave.
The corridor was empty and quiet, and Zhao Yimo was not deaf, so he could clearly hear the conversation between the two of them, but he rarely showed off his face.
At least from the newspaper, it can be seen that that crappy game has great potential. This guy can see this in advance, which proves that he is still capable and is not trying to defraud his aunt of her money as he thought before.
Li Xiucheng didn't know that he had saved a little bit of his image, so he just waved Zhao Xueyao downstairs to the restaurant.
The burger restaurant is as busy at night as it is at noon. Compared with the current bleak traditional industries, Silicon Valley, which is dominated by electronic technology companies, has not been affected by the aftermath of 'Black Monday' at all.
People who work here are always full of hope and yearning for a better career and life.
For example, along the way, the thing the three of them heard people talking about the most was Tetris!
Today's computers are lagging behind in performance, and serious computer games have just appeared six or seven years ago. This is the first time that a game has been promoted with such fanfare and has been so successfully promoted.
These elites who are at the forefront of science and technology are naturally paying special attention to it, and the topic has been discussed after dinner in the past few days.
After these days of training, Zhao Xueyao's English has made great progress, and she can extract many keywords from the messy conversations.
While playing with the broccoli on the plate, she smiled at Li Xiucheng and said, "Although I'm sure it's popular, I decided to buy one on the morning of the 1st to support you! Are you happy?"
"as long as you are happy!"
Li Xiucheng didn't say anything about sharing taxes, since this little rich woman was not short of money anyway.
Zhao Yimo poured cold water on it and said, "Don't be too happy too early. What if others don't want to give you money?"
"No way!"
Zhao Xueyao was stunned. She had also learned some knowledge about copyright these days, and knew that Americans valued this most. Such a thing should not happen... right?
Subconsciously, she looked at Li Xiucheng, wanting to wait for his answer.
When asked about this question, Li Xiucheng was not surprised at all. He said calmly: "When the interests are high enough, this kind of thing may indeed happen. Even though Uncle Sam shouts loud slogans about freedom and democracy all day long, in fact, But everything is about money!
Once their interests are touched, the lower limit will no longer exist. "
At this point, he saw Zhao Xueyao frowning and couldn't help but smile with relief: "But don't worry, I won't let this happen.
You will understand the specifics in a few days! "
Seeing that he was still trying to show off at this time, the two women immediately rolled their eyes.
....
Li Xiucheng found that he had remembered something wrong. Americans did not celebrate May Day. Fortunately, May 1st was a Sunday, and Uncle Sam also had to celebrate Sunday!
Howard is an ordinary researcher, but the Institute of Nuclear Materials where he works is anything but ordinary.
In the past, he would sleep until three o'clock in the morning on Sundays, but today for the first time, he got up early in the morning to pack up and go out.
After riding for 20 minutes to the video store three kilometers away from my residence, I found that a lot of people had gathered in front of the store where few people usually come.
"Hey, Qiaolia, what's going on today? Business is so good?" He set up his car, walked to the door of the store, and asked the beautiful mature woman who was collecting money.
Qiaolia found the change skillfully, then smiled and said: "Howard, can't you see that they are all just like you!"
At this time, Howard's eyes fell on the hand of the customer who came out. It was a light yellow box with a light yellow pattern full of Russian style printed on it.
There are spires, airboats, and a rectangular mullion in the middle with colorful falling building blocks.
Seeing this, he shrugged and smiled: "Okay, I think so. You should have a lot of inventory. Do you think I should rush in?"
"Of course, our boss is very optimistic about this game this time and has already purchased a lot of goods. He also said that this advertising campaign is as great as the original Macintosh 'Super Bowl' commercial.
Now it seems that his hunch was right, I have sold 26 copies of the game in one morning. "
"Okay, now that you've said it, I think it's better for me to squeeze in!" Howard couldn't hold himself back anymore after hearing this, and excitedly squeezed into the crowd and got a box of games.
After paying the money, he said: "Jolia, how about we have dinner together after get off work?"
Qiao Liya winked.
"I am very honored!"
"See you tonight!"
Feeling that there was going to be a beautiful night, Howard was so excited that he logged into the six-minute riding record during the return trip.
Then he happily put the disk into his beloved IBM computer.
Amid a burst of cheerful BGM, the pattern on the packaging interface appeared on the screen.
Then, Howard followed the instructions and started trying it out.
"Oh, it looks pretty simple. Is it really that fun?"
"Well, it's fallen behind. No, I have to change it like this."
"No, this key is the change."
"Haha, right."
"Oh~ it was eliminated, haha, I got 10 points."
"good!"
"Haha, it's quite an interesting game."
"..."
"Oh~ How could this happen? It's still accelerating. It's over. My high score."
"Oh my God, I have to do it again. I have to be more careful this time."
