American Fortune Life

"Boss, we just won the British royal family, and they have agreed to officially enter the ins ..."

Just ended the video conference with the London financial branch. Andy, taking a break from coffee, received a call from the headquarters of ins. As soon as the call was connected, he heard his subordinates report with a very excited voice.

Andy raised his eyebrows slightly, although he didn't care about adding a so-called 'royal ins' account, but this was, after all, a result of the efforts of his subordinates in public relations, which helped the promotion of ins in Europe. A milestone sign.

"Boss, this" royal twitter "account will be used by the online teams at Buckingham Palace and Clarence Palace. It has been opened for 15 minutes and the account has attracted more than 2,000 followers."

"Oh, do a good job and keep up the best. At this step, you can continue your public relations. It is best to let the Queen open a private account." Andy encouraged with a light smile.

"........." After a brief silence on the other end of the phone, he hurriedly responded: "Good boss."

Andy shook his head with a smile and hung up the phone. Since he released the phone numbers to all employees of several of his companies, this is still a small amount of good news.

In fact, since the ins interview, Andy has drawn many celebrities and celebrities to join the ins family through his influence. With the gradual success of the ins, he has also attracted many other celebrities to open accounts.

According to market research agency comscore, as of May this year, ins is expected to have 176 million users worldwide, an increase of more than 26 times over the same period last year.

Of course, the current ins is still in the promotion stage, occupying the market stage, burning money and burning badly. Originally, Andy had a plan to throw out a round of financing, but at this stage, after all, it is the bottom of the financial crisis. Everyone In carefully waiting for the rebound, whether it is the company's valuation or financing funds, it can not maximize the benefits.

The large amount of water injection in the US dollar continued to depreciate, and now he raised funds. He was really a little loss, so he could only continue to burn his own pockets for another period of time. When the traffic data reached a certain value, he only needed to come up with a solution to realize the flow. You can flicker to a very considerable amount of money. However, whether it is the ins company or himself, you can make a lot of money, add the previously burned money to zero, or add two zeros back.

The video conference with the mocking bird game company was very smooth and brief. Now the mocking bird game company has no need to invest too much time and energy to pay attention at all times. In addition to understanding the development and operation of each game this video conference The situation is about the construction progress of the new company headquarters.

Of course, I also received good news. The "Penguin Farm" launched in cooperation with Penguin officially swept the whole dynasty, with an average of 30 million people daily online, joining the ranks of stealing vegetables.

The phrase "Did you steal the food?" Is becoming the topic that Internet users and people in the world often hang around in real life. From elementary school students aged seven or eight, to young white-collar workers in their twenties, to middle-aged and elderly people who have passed their fate. . . The popularity of penguin farms today is an indisputable fact.

What attracts people most is "stealing food". When the garden fruit of his friend's house is ripe, he enters his garden to steal vegetables, and the score is also upgraded. You stole me, I stole you, hundreds of millions of netizens, hundreds of millions of farmers, and they all messed up.

I don't know how many people set up the alarm clock and got up early in the morning to "collect vegetables" in their fields, then went to a friend's house and stole a few expensive "crops" like cordyceps and ginseng. Even deeper in the middle of the night, I do not hesitate to sleep on the Internet and "plant vegetables". . . . . .

Although it is not like another online game World of Warcraft that is popular among Internet users in Tianchao, you need to buy point cards with rnb to play games, but playing for free does not mean that Penguin Farm is "paid for money".

In fact, it is the low threshold for Penguin Farm to play for free, attracting thousands of players, and with these thousands of players, there is also a willing owner to spend money for the farm. why?

"If you want to play better than others, you have to spend more on props."

Penguin members are 10 yuan a month and yellow diamonds are 10 yuan a month. Although qq farm does not charge, it does not cost less than playing paid large-scale online games. Fertilizer and dog food must be purchased with penguin coins so that the food will not be stolen.

Because the cooperation with Penguin is exclusive, the monthly income that Penguin Farm can bring to Penguins can reach 50 million RMB.

Of course, half of the profits belong to the mocking bird game company, with a monthly income of 3.67 million US dollars, which can be called a gold sucking monster!

"Hahahaha ..."

In the office, Andy's happy laughter resounded. Unlike the previous life, in order to prevent the copycats of some companies in the dynasty, the mocking bird game company cooperated with Penguin to strictly control the appearance of copycat games. Once a similar game appeared in On other Jiao platforms, they will immediately respond and bring the other party to court. Even the happy network invested by Andy's Fengyun Capital cannot be spared, thereby preventing the game from being diverted by other platforms from the beginning. Player.

In this way, the life cycle of Penguin Farm will be greatly extended. After all, there is no enduring online games, let alone this simple social game.

Andy, in a good mood, took a little assistant and took a helicopter to David Stern's appointment. Andy didn't know anything about the reasons for David Stern's invitation.

Since this time, David Stern has been circulating through the media, hoping that the alliance can formulate a plan to restore the rate of return, and the two parties will hold the first negotiations on August 4th, and the two sides will discuss the issue of the labor agreement.

Due to the economic crisis, half of the 30 teams in the league lost money, and there were not many teams that did not lose money, only 10 teams. With the severe impact of the financial crisis, it is expected that the ticket revenue of many teams will decrease by 10% next season, and due to the reduction of corporate sponsorship, the total revenue of the team will also decrease by 5%.

Stern says he needs to "look for a system" to increase the team's profitability. Well, what is this? Stern's motivation is simple. Stern tries to hope that the players will get less salary in the next season.

Seemingly inconsistent, Stern said on the one hand that the league is in a golden age, and on the other hand, it requires players to reduce their salaries. According to the current labor agreement, players will receive 57% of the club's income, but in the current economic downturn The salary of the players is the same, which makes the owners of the team suffer serious losses, and what David Stern is doing now is to seek greater benefits for the owners of the team.

This kind of thing, Andy, as the owner of the Rockets team, naturally agrees with both hands. Although he never jealous of the luxury tax and has to form a giant team, he has received the greatest success because of this. At the coveted championship, however, he is a businessman first. The businessman exists to make money, to exist for the benefit, to save costs, and to get more income. This is what a successful businessman must insist on.

"boom!"

In the golf driving range, after Andy slammed a golf ball, he smiled and looked to the side, David Stern, who was preparing to replace him. "It is true that the team is in an economically unstable situation. The boss had problems with the sale of the tickets. If NBA wants to avoid, like the Continental Basketball Association, to advance the end of the season by two months, change is necessary. "

The financial crisis has caused NBA to suffer the worst recession in decades, but how many teams have lost millions of dollars for signing a bad contract, and how many people are like James Dolan of the Knicks? "

Looking at Andy's handsome young face, David Stern spit in his heart for a while, he did not expect that Andy, the creator of the gold dollar basketball, was so embarrassed to tease the Knicks Dolan!

Well, the Knicks are indeed a model of dumb money. You Andy Smith did play the gold dollar basketball, but it is also your disruption that makes the value of the NBA All-Star players rise sharply. . .

"It's true that from the point of view, the players are not in a hurry to sign a new labor agreement, but we will not want to see the NBA labor dispute in 1999 cause the suspension of the league again.

So I have appointed 10 people to form a labor bargaining committee. This team will negotiate with the player representatives for the first time on August 4, and the two sides will discuss the issue of the NBA labor bargaining agreement.

Both sides must make compromises, otherwise nba will really be so poor that only the stars are left! "

"Haha, David, you're so humorous." Andy couldn't help laughing when he heard David Stern's grumble. After laughing, Andy also said helplessly: "Anyway, the Rockets can think of all the ways we can think of. It is really a variety of promotions together. I hope the ball market can be better, so our cheerleaders only wear The socks are dancing! "

"puff--"

Stern almost spit out old blood.
