Chapter 1463

Los Angeles, Malibu danilis studios.

This is January 7th.

Thursday.

Simon returned to the United States in advance. He has been busy from morning to night for more than 10 hours every day since the day after landing.

This morning, I rushed to the company at more than seven o'clock and processed some daily documents. From 9 o'clock to 12 o'clock at noon, it was another three hour annual meeting specially for danilis entertainment and game department.

As the key revenue growth focus of danilis entertainment after the film and television business tends to be saturated, Simon has been paying more attention to the game business and giving more and more time to practice.

In this morning's meeting, in addition to the summary and review of danilis game business in 1998 and the prospect of relevant business in 1999, another important issue was also discussed: opening up danilis entertainment online business and building a unified membership system.

A simple explanation is account integration.

The specific goal is to promote danilis entertainment users to register only one account to enjoy danilis' game mall, online games, blockbuster online and other online services. Moreover, if the project is carried out smoothly, it can also be extended to offline. Universal Studios, Auden cinema, danireis store and so on can all use danireis members to buy tickets and other consumer activities, and enjoy a certain discount according to the membership level.

As for the benefits of a unified membership system, it is needless to say that it can stimulate consumption, increase user loyalty, timely obtain user data, control the market and so on. Even, the huge amount of money deposited in a large number of member accounts will be a very considerable cash reserve for danilis entertainment, which can create huge profits if used properly.

Of course, if this plan is to be promoted, it needs the cooperation of the whole danilis entertainment group, which can not be completed by the game department alone. This time, it is mainly to ventilate the game department and start making corresponding preparations.

At the end of the meeting, everyone left the small conference room in Building 1 of the administrative area of the cinema. Simon and Nancy Brill finally walked out.

As one of the two presidents of danilis second only to Amy Pascal, Nancy has been in charge of the game business. Naturally, she will attend the meeting together.

Because of pregnancy, the small female executive can no longer wear high heels. Walking around Simon becomes more and more pocket. When talking to the man next to him, she can only look back: "my first reaction was that it was false after I got the data, and asked the assistant to confirm it. According to the data submitted by China, no accident," Legend of heaven " Chinese mainland is likely to create more than 1 billion yuan in revenue next year. China's gaming industry potential is amazing.

Simon's group of games in the Korean circle last year paid the most attention to various settings, similar to the Paradise II of the legend series in his memory. In order to get a good omen, he specially renamed it paradise legend.

The game was officially launched in China on the 11th of last month.

However, according to the data obtained here in the first three weeks, "Legend of heaven" has obtained 4.6 million activated users. At the same time, the number of users who have completed the first payment operation has reached 1.3 million. Less than a month after going online, it has created a small miracle that the number of online users has exceeded 300000 at the same time.

In three weeks, the game also quickly brought in 23 million yuan for Jiangnan mutual entertainment, which is responsible for the operation.

The average weekly income is close to 7 million.

After all, this is only the data shortly after the game began to operate. It can be imagined that with the further fermentation of legend of heaven in China, the weekly revenue will double to 20 million, and the annual revenue will exceed 1 billion. It is not a too distant goal.

I have to say that such a beginning exceeded everyone's expectations.

In early November last year, when Simon went to China because Lin Su was pregnant again, Chen Qing just judged that Jiangnan mutual entertainment in Suzhou was expected to have a revenue of 500 million yuan next year. Now, just a game will bring more than twice the expected income to Jiangnan mutual entertainment, let alone many other games under Jiangnan mutual entertainment.

It is conceivable that "Legend of heaven" has made a good start. In addition to its own quality, a girl must have spent a lot of resources to promote the game. So that it directly pushed down the paradise in Hangzhou, which had previously taken the lead through the country of the wind and had the sharp tool of the platform of instant messaging software.

Simon had to warn a girl again and remind her to restrain.

At the same time, it directly requires several relevant companies in China to start external financing again, so as to ensure safety.

After all, it's too profitable.

Enough to make people jealous to kill.

However, in the final analysis, just as it is unimaginable that China's economy took off later, too many people will inevitably underestimate China's market potential.

Simon listened to Nancy's emotion at this time and said: "the huge population of 1.2 billion, even if only one tenth of it has the consumption capacity, will exceed the total population of most other countries on the planet. Therefore, such data is normal."

"It's different," Nancy shook her head. "India also has a population of 1 billion. Why don't you pay attention to it?"

Simon shook his head slightly. "It's a big problem. I can't say a word or two clearly."

Nancy followed the man into the elevator, watched him press the button upstairs, and then said, "then say more, I'm curious?"

Simon joked: "pregnant women should not be so curious and have more rest."

Nancy rolled her eyes.

The elevator soon came to the top floor.

Simon pulled Nancy out with a small hand, thought about it and said: "In short, although India's population base is large enough and its economy is not so developed, it seems that there is a lot of room for improvement, but in fact, India is in a state of stratum solidification where it is difficult to change much. Resources are concentrated in the hands of a few people, and the few who have resources have a good life, lack the motivation to rise, and have no courage to reform After all, it is difficult to have much development. "

Nancy was suddenly held by someone. She was a little shy. She didn't shake off until she saw no one around. She just said, "I know China has been reforming and achieved good results over the years, but are you sure you can succeed?"

Then he came to the lounge next to Simon's office.

Girl a has been here in advance. She is putting lunch with two other waiters. She sees her boss coming in with Nancy and nods. Finally, she arranges the tableware and leaves quietly with two other waiters.

Simon opened a chair and asked Nancy to sit down. He sat next to her and thoughtfully helped the little woman lay her napkin. He continued: "I'm not sure whether China's reform will suddenly turn again, but as long as it continues according to the current road, I will have enough confidence because there is reference."

Nancy and other men helped themselves lay the napkin on their legs, picked up the tableware, because they were also thinking. At this time, they said, "try Japan and South Korea?"

Simon nodded, spread a napkin himself, opened the purified water next to him, took a sip, and said: "It is undeniable that although Japan and South Korea have been continuously westernized in recent years, they have been in the Chinese cultural circle for thousands of years. Their national characteristics are very similar to those of China, such as diligence, education and strong execution brought by collectivism. These national characteristics have led to the rapid development of Japan and South Korea in the past few decades. Just like Japan, If it were not for the repression of the Federation, it would be possible for China's economy to surpass us. As the root of Japan's and South Korea's national characteristics, once China starts to focus on economic development, coupled with its huge population base far exceeding Japan and South Korea, what is the potential? "

Nancy really thought carefully for a moment. For a moment, she forgot to enjoy the pregnant women's package carefully cooked by the professional chef team in front of her. She looked at the man around her with some surprise: "do you mean that China may surpass the Federation in the future?"

Simon picked up a crab roe with his fork and sent it to his mouth without comment.

Perceiving Simon's acquiescence, Nancy asked, "Simon, will you allow this to happen?"

Simon ate the roasted wheat in his mouth, drank water again and said, "maybe I can stop it. The problem is that it's not good for the Westeros system."

Nancy shook her head: "after all, the foundation of Westeros system lies in the Federation, and because of its size, the two are inseparable. I think it should be in our interests to prevent China from surpassing the Federation?"

Simon shook his head and smiled, "this is another big problem."

Nancy looked at the man's smile and suddenly felt a little more serious. She smiled shyly, smelled the smell of wheat burning in front of Simon and pointed out, "I want to eat you."

Simon refused: "this is crab roe. Pregnant women can't eat it."

Nancy stared slightly. "Why?"

"According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, crabs are very cold food. Pregnant women will hurt their bodies if they eat them."

Nancy blinked, but she was not willful. She just couldn't help saying, "no wonder Jenny said that many times, you are like a Chinese."

Simon can only be noncommittal again.

Nancy picked up the spoon and drank the chicken soup, which was actually very attractive in front of her. She picked a piece of chicken and put it in the small dish in front of her. She cut it with a knife and fork and ate it. She didn't forget to ask, "I have time. That big problem just now."

Simon said: "this starts with the nature of capitalism."

"Huh?"

"You know the discussion about the ugly nature of capital in capital?"

Nancy nodded.

Simon said: "to sum up Marx's words in more straightforward words, there is only one thing: capitalism is better at plundering than production."

Nancy paused to deal with the chicken in front of her. She looked over again and wanted to refute, but for a moment, it seemed... There was no way to refute.

Because what men say seems quite reasonable.

Seeing that Nancy didn't speak, Simon continued with a smile: "So, the matter is simple. Since capitalism is better at plundering, we must ensure that there are enough plundered objects and that the plundered objects have enough resources for us to plunder. Then, back to the topic we just talked about, so it is in our interests to let China develop rather than prevent it from developing."

Nancy responded immediately this time: "no, what we just said is to prevent China from surpassing the Federation?"

"That's right," Simon smiled "I just said that if we want to prevent China from surpassing the Federation, we must start immediately and nip this trend in the bud. The problem is that if we do so, the Federation will lose a potential target of plunder, so it will fall into the inherent circular economic cycle of capitalism again. Maybe one day, there will be another global depression, and everyone will transfer it Contradictions, mutual attacks, the outbreak of the Third World War, atomic bombs flying all over the sky, and then there was no more. "

Nancy stared again: "how is it possible?"

"Baby, you should know that the more the upper elite see too many things clearly, the more pessimistic they are about the future of the world. In order to meet the worst possible result, many people will buy farms in the Central Plains, build manors in barren mountains and forests, and others will buy nuclear defense bases during the cold war as a refuge for the end. This is not for no reason. Um ... you're not a pessimist? "

Nancy rolled her eyes slightly and tilted her head slightly: "I know your arrangements in Australia. The problem is, won't the result be so bad?"

Simon spread out his hand holding the tableware slightly: "I just said that capitalism is better at plundering, which is its nature. The result of nature is that when they encounter problems, they often don't try to solve them, but try to transfer contradictions, and the result is often conflict. Compared with the Chinese cultural circle on the other side of the ocean, the characteristics of agricultural civilization that has lasted for thousands of years also make them better at production rather than plundering. Look, just right Complement us. "

Nancy tilted her head. "Why does it sound like we're villains?"

Simon smiled and asked, "isn't it?"

Nancy felt that she didn't know why she subconsciously wanted to avoid the man's eyes, but she quickly held back and stared back: "as a villain, aren't you ashamed?"

Simon shrugged: "of course not. It is more in line with the survival of countless creatures on the planet to plunder and occupy more living resources. Because resources are never enough, or biological nature determines that no matter how many resources they occupy, they will not feel too much, but can better realize the continuation of their own population."

Nancy caught it accurately: "is it your genetic instinct theory again?"

Simon smiled and snapped his fingers: "bingo!"

Nancy found the question again: "but you just said that capitalism is better at plundering. The result is destruction, not longer survival?"

Simon said, "so I didn't say I was in favor of capitalism. I just said I was in favor of plunder."

Nancy continued to look at the man next to her for a moment and nodded her head: "I see."

"Huh?"

"You're a total bad guy, villain."

Simon smiled, reached out and pinched the woman's smooth face: "eat, don't say such love words, you know I don't like sweets."

Nancy opened the man's claws and made an expression of wanting to vomit with her little tongue.
