In the middle of the night, after more than ten hours of long-distance flight, the plane Yang Huan was on finally landed at London's Heathrow Airport with a harsh rubbing sound.
"Master Huan, Master Huan...Master Huan..."
Long Wu called to Yang Huan softly, but the latter looked out the window in a daze, motionless.
Passengers in the first class are all preparing to disembark.
After talking to Zhang Ning, he watched the news for two or three hours without going online for many days.
Many Internet fields and media that pay attention to mobile games have expressed pessimism about the current situation of WeChat companies.
It is believed that a new game that has spent a lot of energy and resources on research and development has fallen into a dilemma, which is a heavy blow to the company.
In the City of London and Silicon Valley in the United States, many venture capital companies have lowered their valuations of game companies and WeChat to a maximum of 40%. This has also aroused pessimism from many media and investors.
More importantly, it hurt the morale of everyone in the company.
After boarding the plane, Yang Huan kept writing in the notebook he carried with him.
After writing, he stared out the window of the plane in a daze.
In fact, it was pitch black outside the window, and he couldn't see anything, but he was still watching.
Even if the plane landed, I still don’t know.
"Young Master Huan." Long Wu gently pushed Yang Huan's shoulder.
"Ah!" Yang Huan woke up in shock.
"Here we are."
"Arrived? London?" Yang Huan looked around at this time and found that there were no people in the first-class cabin.
I stood up, stretched lazily, and yawned.
"After sitting on the plane for more than ten hours, my waist is tired!" Yang Huan laughed at himself.
Long Wu nodded slightly, "Yes, so you should go back and rest quickly."
Yang Huan cleaned up his things noncommittal and got off the plane.
Before they boarded the plane, they had notified Southampton and asked them to arrange for the driver to pick up the plane at Heathrow Airport.
Walking out of the gate of the plane, Yang Huan was surprised that many reporters were waiting here. When he saw him, he immediately swarmed up and surrounded him like a shark smelling blood.
So scared that Long Wu immediately stood in front of Yang Huan.
"Mr. Yang Huan, may I ask if you rushed back to London overnight, was it because Arsenal officially requested Chamberlain?"
Yang Huan was taken aback for a moment, "Who said that, I didn't receive the news!"
He did not receive any news in this regard.
But from the reporter's point of view, this is a cover-up.
"It's reported that there is a problem with Southampton's funds recently and Chamberlain may be sold off, is it true?"
Yang Huan did not hesitate to deny this statement, "No such thing, Southampton does not consider selling off the stars of the team, on the contrary, we will continue to vigorously sign in."
"But according to the information we have, you have had problems with your funds recently, especially since many venture capital institutions that originally planned to invest in your company have all lowered their valuations, reaching a maximum of 50%. ."
Yang Huan was depressed.
It is true that many venture capitalists wanted to invest in his company before, but he refused one by one.
"I have to clarify that I don't have any idea to introduce investment. Several venture capitalists have expressed their intention to invest before, but I have rejected them. We are not short of money and do not plan to introduce investment."
Having said that, Yang Huan spread his hands together, "Since we don't have this idea, what does it have to do with us whether they lower their valuations? The answer is that there is no relationship with even a dime!"
Yang Huan’s explanation is indeed true, but the problem is that the media reporters simply can’t listen.
In their view, it is to describe the WeChat company as the kind of financial crisis and very precarious reports that can attract the attention of readers. After all, this company has been too dazzling for a while.
Whether it is WeChat, games or Southampton, they are all sharp.
And in the past few days, Aston Martin and Sunseeker Yachts have become so big in China. Such natural hype material, if you don't use it, is it still a British paparazzi?
"Then what do you think of the failure of the new game?" a reporter asked.
Yang Huan stopped walking outside the gate of the departure hall, stopped, and shook his head: "I have to repeat it again. That is not a failure, because we have not officially released it yet. It is just a test of ours. ."
"Every game company has some projects that fail in the test, right?"
The reporter nodded and said: "Yes, indeed, but since your establishment, every game has been very successful. At present, you have two places in the top ten revenue list of the official Apple store."
"Please, we only released two games, OK?"
Yang Huan is weird. The success of the two games does not allow the third game to make mistakes?
When the reporter saw Yang Huan a little annoyed, he immediately laughed, "Mr. Yang Huan, I can understand your feelings at this moment. Your company is in such a crisis. You must be very upset, but yes. It's no use getting angry."
"I didn't get angry with you, I..."
Long Wu whispered to the side, "Master Huan, he is deliberately irritating you."
"I know!" Yang Huan is not an idiot, and he hasn't lost his mind, still can't tell?
"Which newspaper are you from?"
"The Independent." The reporter replied with a smile.
That is the world of Arsenal fans.
"Damn, does the Independent also care about mobile games?"
The reporter shrugged and said with a smile: "Occasionally, it depends on who is right."
The meaning is self-evident, who made you the enemy of Arsenal?
Every newspaper has its own fixed audience, and the core readership of the Independent is Arsenal fans.
So, who doesn't want to see some unlucky news about mortal enemies?
Especially for Arsenal fans, Southampton is a mortal enemy, and it is definitely a pleasure to see Southampton investors in bad luck and even declare bankruptcy.
Maybe they will set off firecrackers in London to celebrate, and they will be violent.
"OK, then I say nothing!" Yang Huan felt that talking to these people was a waste of saliva.
No matter what you say, they will still step on you.
"So, did you acquiesce?" The reporter gave a very, very annoying smile.
Yang Huan looked at the reporter in his spare time and smiled slightly, "Okay, Mr. Independent, maybe we can come to make a bet. I wonder if you have the courage?"
"Bet?" The reporter was a little surprised, but nodded provocatively.
"Since you are so interested in us, then we bet that our next game will be popular."
"It's impossible!" The reporter shook his head and laughed.
Not only him, but the reporters around him found it impossible.
In the mobile game industry, who dares to say that their next game will sell well?
Even Blizzard, which specializes in classic and online games, dare not praise this Haikou, right?
"Yes, you think it's impossible, but I have this confidence, so I will ask you a word, dare you?"
Yang Huan even turned his head to look at all the reporters, "If you other people are interested, you can make this bet with me. I am very happy to accompany you, and the bet is also very simple. Whoever loses will report and apologize. I am a loser!"
At this time, all the reporters in the entire airport were fried.
"Mr. Yang Huan, are you challenging us?"
"I don't think this is a challenge, but a defense, but you can look at it that way!" Yang Huan replied.
"Mr. Yang Huan, don't you think this is a very irrational and arrogant behavior?"
Yang Huan shook his head and said: "That's better than I was on the plane for more than ten hours in the middle of the night, but after returning to London, it was better to be bombarded by you guys?"
"Mr. Yang Huan, are you sure you must do this?"
"I'm very very very very sure!"
All the reporters present were dumbfounded.
A dozen people, representing more than a dozen newspapers. Although there are no big newspapers like The Times, The Guardian, and The Sun, they are all consulting newspapers in the developed London area, and there are even newspapers like The Independent. Philippines, a newspaper with a strong influence.
One person has to challenge all, what is this not a lunatic?
"Okay, I promise your challenge!"
"I agree too!"
"I promise to bet with you!"
Yang Huan couldn't help nodding, indicating that he would fight.
"Mr. Yang Huan, please remember my name." The Independent reporter held up his press card. "I am the chief football reporter of the Independent Football Department. My name is Glenn Moore. I will bet with you. !"
"it is good!"
"But I have a problem."
"Say!" Yang Huan made a gesture of please say.
"How to determine whether you win or lose, and evaluate whether a game will be popular?" Glenn Moore asked very seriously.
Yang Huan thought for a while, "It's very simple. I will make a game and publish it. Look at the number of downloaded users and the number of online users."
Glenn Moore also knows something about mobile games. He thought about it and nodded: "Yes, but there must be a time limit."
"It takes one month to make games, and one month to evaluate the results."
Glenn Moore felt that he had taken a big advantage, and nodded and smiled: "What about the results?"
"You say it!" Yang Huan had a face of victory.
"According to the standards of cutting the rope and escaping from the temple, as long as the number of downloads exceeds 5 million, I will lose."
"Reasonable!" Yang Huan nodded without hesitation.
Everyone was a little surprised, this is too confident.
Is he really so confident?
"What about you?" Yang Huan looked at the reporters provocatively.
A dozen reporters on the scene look at me and I look at you. No one really flinches.
"We also agree, bet!"
"Mr. Yang Huan, if you lose, don't let it go!"
"We'll gamble with you."
"Yes, I don't believe it, you can really turn stones into gold, saying that fire is fire!"
Yang Huan was not bluffed by them at all, "Okay, then let's just say it."
"However, before that, let’s say it first. During this period of betting, I can’t stop what you want to do, but don’t bother me and don’t bother my staff. Otherwise, you will be considered a violation of the rules. !"
After speaking, Yang Huan arrogantly turned and left.
The reporters who were left behind were all furious.
"Too arrogant, too arrogant!"
"Does he really think he is determined to win?"
"I have never seen such an arrogant and domineering person, who he thought he was!"
On the contrary, that Glenn Moore smiled triumphantly after seeing through Yang Huan's conspiracy.
"Everyone, listen to me, let's not be fooled by that Chinese!"
"What do you mean?" someone immediately asked.
"He bet us that he actually wanted to make us angry and let us help them publicize for free. If we were fooled and kept attacking and accusing them, wouldn't it help them gain attention instead?"
"Yes, it's too sinister, that Chinese!"
"Yes~EbookFREE.me~ Glenn is right, we can't be fooled."
Glenn Moore saw that everyone had a consensus, and he laughed immediately, "So, it's very simple, let's block them from now on, let's not report them a word!"
"Okay, just do it!"
"Hey, we don't report, see what other tricks he can do!"
"That's right, when he comes to our newspaper to publish a report and apologize, remember to raise the cost a little bit higher for him, so that he will have a lot of blood!"
"I think the upstart from China is not short of money at all!"
"Haha, he has to pay more if he doesn't need money, we need it!"
"Yes, let him suffer a little and learn to be good."
"Haha..."
