Chapter 244 Today is a good day
There is a lot of discussion about "Gu Sheng's fall from the altar".
There are two types of people in the group that looks at this matter.
One kind of people are watching for fun, and the other kind are also watching for fun.
Once upon a time, Gu Sheng didn't understand the meaning of the two jujube trees in front of Mr. Lu Xun's house.
Now, he seemed to understand.
Led by Konami, manufacturers and peers who are unaware of the situation and completely treat "Garden Warfare" as the apple of the eye of Golden Wind are more enthusiastic about reading the data summary of China Entertainment Entertainment every day than Shen Miaomiao.
The reviews of Garden Warfare remained at 69%, with mixed reviews. The sales volume also dropped from 150,000 sets per day at the beginning to 120,000 sets, 100,000 sets, and then 80,000 sets...
Overjoyed, delighted, and beaming.
Among them, there is Konami, which has a grudge against Golden Wind.
Some people simply want to see Golden Wind take a big fall.
After all, the fall of the Morning Star is much more interesting than its rising.
When you are high enough, naturally there will be many people who hope that you will be like Ikaros, with your wings melted by the sun and fall into hell forever, so as to satisfy the inherent evil in their human nature.
The other group of people are the "pure fun people" headed by Yiyou. These people know what Golden Wind is planning, and they also know that Gu Sheng is going to come up with an unprecedented super masterpiece.
Although the number of these people is small (after all, not many people know about the Golden Wind Sniper Plan), the fun is very high.
I couldn't help but cheer for Konami, and shouted "Golden Wind Pill! Gu Sheng has fallen from the altar!", which was very interesting.
I am so happy that I never get tired of it. I enjoy it.
And Shen Miaomiao is the happiest among all the fun-loving people!
Konami is such a good man!
If it weren't for you, my "Garden Warfare" would definitely have sold over a million copies in a single week!
After all the trouble you've put me through!
That sales volume, wow.
Not to mention a halving, it’s impossible to sell a million units in a single week anyway!
It's already the seventh day!
According to statistics from Huayu Entertainment, as of 8 o'clock last night, the total sales of "Garden Warfare" in six days was only 650,000 copies!
According to his previous calculations, based on the total cost of 38 million, "Garden Warfare" would need to sell at least 731,000 sets in total to make a profit!
73.1-65=8.1
There are still more than 80,000 sets to break even!
The key point is that according to the current growth situation, the total sales of "Garden Warfare" can no longer reach 80,000 copies per day!
That is to say.
As long as there is no interference from other aspects, such as a sudden publicity and promotion, or Yan Sheng stabbing me in the back without any intervention.
Then you can definitely lose 10,000 sets!
Although these 10,000 sets may not seem like a lot, they are only a few tenths of the total sales in a single week.
But the multiplier is too high!
Fifteen times the rebate!
A loss of hundreds of thousands can turn into millions in an instant!
This is one of the few great opportunities!
You must grasp it well.
"…What are you thinking about? How can you smile so happily while eating an egg?"
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Gu Sheng on the other side ask:
“Eggs are so delicious?”
"Ah? Hmm!"
Shen Miaomiao came back to her senses, nodded heavily, and confirmed seriously:
"Delicious! Today's tea eggs are especially delicious! If you don't believe me, try it."
As he spoke, he put the half-eaten tea egg in his hand to Gu Sheng's mouth and joked with him.
However.
Unexpectedly, Gu Sheng ate the remaining half of the tea egg without any hesitation.
"Um……"
Gu Sheng tasted it:
“There’s nothing particularly good to eat there?”
"Well...I've already eaten half of it..."
Shen Miaomiao clicked her fingers helplessly, her mouth slightly open, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated , her face flushed.
"ah?"
Gu Sheng was confused and thought Shen Miaomiao was not full:
"You haven't had enough to eat, so I'll go downstairs and buy you a tea egg?"
When their eyes met, Shen Miaomiao's big eyes sparkled like a little fox, and she pursed her lips to hold back a smile.
Then he stood up, took Gu Sheng's hand, opened his mouth and took a bite of the few remaining pancakes:
"Okay, I'm full!"
"Are you full already?"
Gu Sheng was a little surprised:
"Just one bite?"
"Hmm!" Shen Miaomiao's mouth was stuffed with food, and she nodded: "Just one more bite."
Gu Sheng couldn't help but shook his head in silence, secretly sighing that little Nezha's appetite was really unpredictable, and then stuffed the last bite of pancake into his mouth.
He took the wet wipes handed to him by little Nezha and wiped his hands.
Just as I was about to pack up my breakfast bag, I heard the phone on the table vibrate.
Buzz——
Buzz——
Gu Sheng shook his hands, turned over the phone and looked at it, and couldn't help but chuckle.
It’s Yan Sheng.
Before the release of "Garden War", he contacted Yan Sheng once, mainly to discuss joining forces with Xundo again to expand the sales market of "Sekiro".
actually!
In this matter, both Gu Sheng and Golden Wind can act in a domineering manner.
After all, there is no exclusive landing agreement between Golden Wind and Yiyou, so "Sekiro" can land wherever it wants.
The reason we are discussing this with you Yiyou is that our two families have always had a very good relationship, and we are willing to discuss this matter with you in a peaceful manner.
It's a discussion, not an application.
In fact, it was originally supposed to be a notification.
However, Gu Sheng did not choose such a tough approach.
Yan Sheng was obviously aware of this, and Yiyou also appreciated it.
so--
"...after discussion among our senior management and unanimous approval by the board of directors,"
On the phone, Yan Sheng said:
"We will fully support and agree to your proposal to once again join forces with Xun Teng and participate in this year's Tokyo Game Festival together with Golden Wind."
terrific!
Gu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Before this, he had been worried about what he would do if Yiyou did not accept the proposal.
Are you determined to unite with Xun Teng?
So will Yiyou impose sanctions on itself and no longer allow Golden Wind’s games to be launched on Yiyoux2?
If that happens, both Golden Wind and Yiyou will suffer losses.
Gu Sheng didn't want to see a lose-lose outcome.
After all, the domestic gaming market has only recently stabilized, and we are now going all out to move into gaming markets outside of China.
At this time, you should try your best to avoid backyard fires.
Fortunately.
After some hesitation, Yiyu finally chose to coexist peacefully and decided to join forces with Xundou again to launch a second round of joint operations against Konami.
"On behalf of Golden Wind, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Yan and Yiyou Group."
Gu Sheng said sincerely on the phone.
"Why--"
On the other end, Yan Sheng waved his hand:
"We won't talk about thanking each other, but what does Xun Teng say?"
“I haven’t said that yet.”
Gu Sheng laughed:
"Boss Yan hasn't spoken yet, so how dare we act on our own and make decisions first and report later?"
"To be honest with you, Boss Yan, these days, everyone in our company has been waiting for your reply!"
Eh——
Listening to Gu Sheng's words, Shen Miaomiao rubbed her arms.
Steamed goose heart, Lao Gu!
It was obvious that you relied on your own strong abilities and good gaming skills to half-discuss and half-notify Yiyou, which took them nearly a week to discuss before they reluctantly accepted the plan of a second collaboration with their arch-enemy.
In the end.
You have become a member of the vulnerable group, looking so weak that you would not dare to speak unless you ask.
Ugh! Green tea!
Shen Miaomiao secretly complained.
But on the other end of the phone, Yan Sheng laughed repeatedly, and was very pleased with the way out given by Gu Sheng:
"What are you talking about! Mr. Gu, we are very grateful that you thought of us, Yiyou, informed us in advance, and waited for the results of our discussion!"
not good!
Originally, Shen Miaomiao just observed secretly from the side without saying a word.
But after hearing the key word "gratitude", I couldn't help but shudder and quickly put my legs down from the desk!
You can’t do that, Mr. Yan!
Don't be grateful!
Your gratitude is a small matter, but if you also give away the millions of dollars I have already earned, who can bear it?
Today is the seventh day since the release of Garden Warfare, and also the last day for rebate receipt settlement.
As long as you can hold on until eight o'clock in the evening, you can get the rebate for sure.
Therefore, Shen Miaomiao is now in a state of panic, and will not allow even the slightest mistake to occur. She is determined to nip any possibility of making a profit in the bud!
"Ah, that... Mr. Yan, it's me, Shen Miaomiao."
Shen Miaomiao spoke quickly!
"Ah, ah! Mr. Shen is here too!"
On the other end of the phone, Yan Sheng obviously didn't expect Shen Miaomiao to be there. He was stunned for a moment before hurriedly greeting her:
"What instructions does Mr. Shen have?"
"It's not really an instruction. Mr. Gu happened to be here with me, so I just listened."
Shen Miaomiao grinned:
"Look, I don't need to tell you how important the Sekiro project is, and I think you must be aware of it."
"What I want to say is that although we have achieved certain staged victories at the hands of Konami before,"
"But it was not enough to shake Konami's dominance."
"This time we are still facing a behemoth,"
“So I think we should focus on the Sekiro project together and make a detailed and meticulous promotion plan for the Tokyo Game Festival.”
“After all, this is our top priority.”
A few words!
What you said makes sense.
Shen Miaomiao was very satisfied.
After all, she couldn't just threaten me by saying, "Don't touch my Garden War project! Or I'll kill you!"
Therefore, we can only hint at it indirectly and let Yan Sheng focus on "Sekiro".
There's only one day left, so please don't do anything weird to me!
Hearing this.
Yan Sheng also agreed in a serious tone: "Mr. Shen is right. Now that the list of participants of the Tokyo Game Festival is about to be confirmed, we must fight well before the opening of the festival."
"But in this case..."
Speaking of this, Yan Sheng's tone seemed a little embarrassed:
"In this way, we may not have the energy to deal with the malicious negative reviews of Garden Warfare."
"No! No, no!"
Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao was overjoyed and quickly grabbed the phone from Gu Sheng:
"Just leave the Garden Warfare project as it is. We must not alert the enemy. We must give Konami the illusion that we are powerless and overwhelmed."
"This way, the promotion of our Sekiro project will be even more impactful!"
Shen Miaomiao is smart.
Especially when it comes to rebates.
Whether it's intelligence or reaction, everything is overclocked!
"hiss--"
Hearing Shen Miaomiao's words, Yan Sheng also took a breath of cold air and couldn't help but praise:
"Mr. Shen, that's a good idea!"
That’s it!
The two sides exchanged a few more pleasantries and then hung up the phone.
Shen Miaomiao was overjoyed!
Wuhu!
take off!
All the best!
Just waiting to receive the bank card transfer notification in the evening!
"Walk!"
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao stood up and pulled Gu Sheng along.
"Go? Where to? What are you going for?"
Gu Sheng didn't understand.
"It's getting colder today, let's go buy some ingredients for hot pot, and have a nine-square dinner!"
Shen Miaomiao was excited and ready to celebrate.
Gu Sheng was speechless: "But it's only nine o'clock now, and we just had breakfast..."
"Oh, the meat and vegetables are fresh this morning."
Shen Miaomiao couldn't wait any longer, so she pulled Gu Sheng up and buttoned up his coat:
“Go, go, go…”
While pulling Gu Sheng, he pushed open the office door and went to slack off.
…
Boom.
The security door is closed.
Shen Miaomiao's soft humming sounded at the entrance: "Today is a good day...everything you wish for can come true..."
Behind him, Gu Sheng was changing his shoes while trying to laugh: "What's wrong with you today? Are you so excited all day?"
Little Nezha is so weird today!
Although little Nezha is heartless on weekdays, he is either cheerful or laughing all day long.
But today, she was obviously different from usual.
Whether it's jumping around on the way out to buy groceries and prepare ingredients, or chattering on the way home from get off work.
Everything showed her excitement.
It's just like taking two kilograms of stimulants.
"Let's have hotpot today! Isn't it fun?"
Shen Miaomiao changed into slippers, hung up her coat, shook her little head and went back to her room to change into pajamas.
Gu Sheng also went home to wash his hands, sorted the ingredients, and prepared to wash and cut them.
I'm preparing the food.
Then I heard the voice of little Nezha behind me:
"Old Gu, Old Gu!"
"Um?"
Gu Sheng was washing duck intestines and looked back.
He saw little Nezha sitting cross-legged on the sofa, waving at him: "Come here, I have a surprise for you."
"What surprise?" Gu Sheng wiped the water off his hands and sat down next to little Nezha.
"Close your eyes,"
Shen Miaomiao bared her little white teeth and waved excitedly:
"Close your eyes."
"What?" Gu Sheng didn't understand, but he still closed his eyes: "Mysterious."
But the next second!
His voice choked in his throat.
Because he clearly felt that Shen Miaomiao had lifted up his sweater.
Gu Sheng's whole body shuddered and he couldn't help but tighten his abdominal muscles, thinking that little Nezha's behavior had been getting more and more excessive recently.
She was really not afraid that one day she would lose control and be swayed by the flames of desire.
“What the hell!!!”
The flame of desire was extinguished instantly!
Gu Sheng only felt a chill that went straight to his soul, running along his waist and rushing straight to the top of his head!
When he opened his eyes and looked down, he saw Shen Miaomiao stuffing her little feet into his sweater!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The smug giggles and the angry shouts that were not in harmony with each other sounded simultaneously in the living room.
"Shen Miaomiao, is this your surprise? Are you using me to cover your feet?"
"You have well-developed abdominal muscles, young man. Your thin sweater is quite warm."
"That's me keeping my fucking warm! It has nothing to do with the sweater! Take it, take it out!"
"Oh, cover it for a moment, just for a moment, please..."
"It's too cold! You're going to give me diarrhea!"
"It's okay, our company has medical insurance..."
"I'm so fucking..."
