531. Chapter 531 Scene 531 Crazy Sales

"Leonardo, what are you playing?" The female reporter couldn't help asking curiously as she watched Leonardo DiCaprio playing with her phone intently.

"This? It's just a small game called "Plant vs. Zombies." Leonardo DiCaprio pursed his lips and said casually.

"Do you like playing games?" asked the female reporter in surprise. It was hard for her to imagine that a handsome man like Leonardo DiCaprio would be so childish.

"No... Of course I don't like playing games. I just pass the time when I'm bored. In fact, this game has a very story. It is adapted from an American drama that will be released soon. I am actually more interested in the character settings in it. You know I am a fan of director Li Xiaole." Leonardo DiCaprio was a little embarrassed when asked, smiled, and made up an excuse related to the movie.

What Leonardo DiCaprio did not expect was that this interview was recorded by ABC TV. As entertainment news, Leonardo also played "Plant vs. Zombies"? This gossip is really interesting~~ The focus of their report is: "Every man has a boy with a childlike heart hidden in his heart." Although ABC did not intend to promote Li Xiaole, it was broadcast that Leonardo DiCaprio said the name of "Plant vs. Zombies".

At the headquarters of the Sony company's building, Mike Donald from the Sony Group's gaming department sat behind his desk and was frowning deeply, looking at the sales reports of Sony's gaming consoles in his palm last week, and then threw the reports on the sales managers of the PSP gaming consoles in front of him.

"One week! Only one week! Our overall sales of psp fell by 30%!? Can you explain to me what's going on?"

Several project managers of different skin colors were looking at each other, and one of the young and lighter white managers couldn't help but speak out and argue:

"Donner, we can't blame us all. We have not relaxed our work. Now the decline in the sales of game consoles in the palm is a major trend in the industry... You must know that not only us, but also Nintendo's GBA and NDS, the two game consoles in the palm, have also experienced a decline of nearly 100% in North America during this period..."

"What is this? There must be a reason?" Mike Donner's face was gloomy, his face trembling with excitement.

"Do you want to know the reason?" The young white manager was also proud, and took out an iPhone from his arms and threw it in front of Mike Donner with a cold face. "That's why."

Mike Donner took the white iPhone in confusion, looked at the picture of "Plant vs. Zombies" above, and said angrily:

"What do you want to say? You want to tell me, just because of a flash game on your mobile phone, we defeated the 1'6-player game production department? Are you going to use such a ridiculous reason to perfunctory me?"

"Little game..." The young manager was stunned for a moment, then looked at Mike Donner with an expression of contempt and exclaimed:

"Donner~! Look clearly~! Is this a mini game? This is a great game! A game with a few dozen m has prototype stories, innovative ideas for touch screen control. If there are huge data and multiple game modes, all these factors add up to maintain a delicate sense of balance. As well as those original games, each of them can be called a classic design~! You said this is just a mini game!?

Donner, I tell you, I'm sure that the Pirates that developed this game must have invested a team of hundreds of people in this game in the early stages of the iPhone design. Otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve this effect. The hardware of the iPhone is much more powerful than our PSP. If there are more games, all our handheld game consoles will be replaced by the iPhone in a few years~! I suggest that we will acquire this Pirates game company at all costs~”

Mike Donner was stunned when he heard this. Although he felt that he was exaggerating, he still couldn't help but read the report that he didn't read carefully. It was written on it:

"The first day when "Plant vs. Zombies" was opened for free on the iPhone appstore, and now it has reached 3 million... and it is still increasing. The sales of iPhones have soared 00,000 units during this period. This number is exactly the market share we lost with Nintendo... In Japan, there have been game console sellers in Europe that have begun to submit orders to Apple..."

Oh my God... After Mike Donald read the report from beginning to end, he suddenly felt a sudden tremor in his heart. He seemed to finally realize the seriousness of the problem. He reacted and pointed at the young manager anxiously and said:

"James~Go quickly~Go and contact the Pirate Games company~ Before their market value has increased significantly, let's see if they can acquire them~!?"

Mike Donald was not shocked by the sales of "Plant vs. Zombies", but he seemed to have seen the trend of "Pokemon" that year, and he had a vague premonition in his heart. Perhaps a new era wave will soon arrive, just like Nintendo's rapid growth of a GB game "Pokemon", which made all eight handhelds transition to the card handheld era. The emergence of "Plant vs. Zombies" may be the beginning of a new wave.

Two hours later, in the newly organized game department office of Pirate TV, Salman crossed his legs and said proudly to the phone:

"Thank you very much for Sony for paying attention to us, but I'm sorry, our company does not intend to sell its equity... No, we have no intention of introducing financing."

Seeing Salman hung up the phone, Lei Ting, who was signing a formal contract for him, couldn't help but show a contemptuous sneer: "You're going to change your mind with Feng. You didn't disappear as soon as you finished the game. I thought you were back to San Francisco, so why did you run back by yourself now?"

"Lei... You misunderstood me. I just went to find my three girlfriends. You know~ I am a person who values ​​love. Before I come to New York to settle down, I will complete the breakup ceremony with them first." Salman looked at Li Xiaole beside him, holding up three fingers and swore:

"I am absolutely loyal to my boss~~ Since the first time I met him, I have planned to follow him for life. Those damn third-rate porn games don't have as much sales as this game. This is the pinnacle of my game design career~~~! Do you know, those idiots at Sony actually thought there were hundreds of people in our game production department. When I told them that I was the only one of the commanders, that guy must be cursing in his heart~~haha~~ It's really so interesting~"

Looking at Salman's smile, Lei Ting also felt a rare relaxation. Li Xiaole succeeded again. It was impossible, but he still succeeded. What exactly is his brain structure? Why can't anything hurt him?

She also expected the seven failures of Black Pearl Company... It seems to be too pessimistic now... Li Xiaole is really a person who cannot calculate with data.

At this time, Apple was entering an extremely busy stage. No one expected that the sales of iPhones would soar to this level in just two weeks because of a small game. Now, not only mobile phone channel merchants in various states across the United States sent people to Apple every day to urge them to increase supply, but also many game console channel merchants began to place orders for iPhones with Apple.

"Increase production capacity, increase production capacity, and mobilize all our factories that can be contacted~!" Jonathan roared excitedly in the conference room. The sales of iPhones in the past two weeks have increased rapidly by 300%, and as many as 00,000 units have been sold. Many places have been out of stock. All this is simply crazy!!

This is not a mistake in the sales department’s plan. Who the hell could have thought of it! A small game adapted from a series that has not yet been released will burst out with such huge energy!!

What makes people laugh and cry is that the iPhone is actually sold as a game console in many places... The designers who participated in "Plant vs. Zombies" were originally secretive about this matter, for fear that people would know that they had made such a childish game, but now the situation has changed 180 degrees. Those designers who meet any relatives and friends want to tell each other that this game that was popular all over the United States is just their game work within two days.

In order to commemorate this legendary event, the board of directors hereby approved the addition of the incident information of "Plant vs. Zombies" to the company's "Glorious Deeds Wall", and the names of all designers involved in this project were engraved on it.

When I learned that Sony was interested in acquiring Pirate Games, several directors of Apple's board of directors called Li Xiaole in person and praised his great contribution to Apple in almost flattering tone. The only purpose was that he did not want him to sell "Plant vs. Zombies" on other game platforms and continue to be a sole exclusive game in the iOS system.

Li Xiaole quickly made a guarantee. This is not how loyal he is to Apple, but that he understands that the potential of iPhone is far from being released. iPhone is now known as a high-end product in the industry, and is not down-to-earth. Many ordinary people have not realized the huge difference between smartphones and feature phones. "Plant vs. Zombies" uses exquisite picture quality and gameplay to only release a small part of the charm of iPhone, which has made more ordinary people start to take over this product...
