Chapter 372: Traffic jams and hatred
At five o'clock in the morning, Ding Qiu was pulled up by his wife.
"It's too early today." He yawned, holding his sleepy-eyed son in his hand and said, "Isn't it just buying a game?" Do you need it? ”
"Of course, my colleagues have said that this "Pokemon" is something that everyone else wants to buy." The wife opened the door of her private car and said, "We have to buy games first, then we have to eat, and after we have eaten, we have to send our son to school before we can go to work - how can we catch up if we don't get it sooner!" ”
She took out the car keys, turned around and asked, "Are you driving this car or am I driving this car today?" ”
"You go!"
Ding Qiu waved his hand and said, the two work in the same company, and everyone drives the same.
After getting into the car, the family drove towards the gate of the community, and Ding Qiu saw a banner on a store outside the community - "Pokemon, a family game!" ”
This ad is a poster with a family of four sitting on the sofa playing handheld, and I have to say that the Pokemon ad is fantastic. The key to its promotion this time is the concept of 'family game' and 'friend game', the latter is a simple concept, this game has interactive elements such as exchanging elves and fighting, and it is full of appeal to elementary and middle school students.
Ding Qiu and his wife noticed that "Pokemon" was still because of their children, and the child said that his classmates at school would buy "Pokemon" and hoped that they would help him buy a copy to play with his classmates.
When they first heard about this, the husband and wife had different opinions, the wife felt that it was good to have a game that her son could play with his classmates, and that his son could not be left behind, but Ding Qiu was very angry. In his mind, children should study hard and not play any games at all.
But when they were deadlocked. Ads for Pokemon have already taken flight, and this time it's all about 'family games'.
This game is also popular among adults. Ding Qiu's colleagues have been talking about it recently, it is not a children's game, it is also suitable for adults to play. Moreover, it allows parents and children to exchange elves, fight, display collections and other interactions, increasing the relationship between the two generations.
There are a large number of young parents and children in Huaxia who lack communication, especially office workers like Ding Qiu, who put their children at school in the morning and take them home after work in the evening, staring at their children to finish their homework and the day passes. There is very little communication throughout the year, and there is not much to fill the gap. "Pokemon" focuses on this point, and the main family card.
There is a time record for both the handheld and the game, and parents can limit their play time with their children. Ding Qiu was so moved that he told his son to only play a few times a day after class and during his lunch break, and then go home at night to check the game time, and if the time was exceeded, he would take the handheld back.
"This kid should be obedient......"
Ding Qiu thought so, and the car drove onto the street unconsciously, but the scene that appeared in front of him made him stunned - the vast street was already jammed with vehicles. And as soon as his wife drove the car up, she didn't have time to react, and the car behind immediately gambled on the way out.
"Damn, how can there be a traffic jam. And that's not even the rush hour! The wife honked the horn angrily, but Ding Qiu couldn't agree with her words, and Ning Hai would have traffic jams in the morning and afternoon during the rush hour of commuting. But Ninghai's road planning is very good, and it will definitely not be like this. A scene where you can barely see the end at a glance.
"It's like a long vacation!" Ding Qiu muttered to himself, this scene is more like the first day of the long holiday of the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day. Before dawn, a large number of people will drive back to their hometowns or travel, and it will be difficult to get through at that time. But don't talk about any long holidays now, even if it's a small section, it will have to be half a month away.
"Is there a big traffic accident?" Ding Qiu couldn't help but think, and his wife had already opened the window and quarreled with the car next to her to grab the road.
"Excuse me, I have to send my children to school here!" "I rub it, so do I!" Don't squeeze, let me go first! "Sir, do you understand that lady is first?" ”
Listening to the quarrel between the two, Ding Qiu couldn't help but turn on the car and boat, poked his head out and looked, and sure enough, there was no end to the traffic in front of him, and the three lanes were full of cars.
"Hey, buddy, smoke a cigarette."
A sedan on the right opened the window, and the young man sitting in the driver's seat took out a cigarette and handed it to Ding Qiu, and said enthusiastically: "You guys are also going to buy Pokemon, right?" ”
"That's right, why are you ...... too" Ding Qiu looked stunned.
"Damn, it's true, it's a spectacle! No, I have to take care of it! The young man looked very excited, he took out a cigarette in his mouth, took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the surroundings, and then turned back to Ding Qiu and said: "I sue you, not only us, you see that almost all the cars on this road are going to buy "Pokemon"!" ”
The young man pointed to his mobile phone and said, "You look at the announcement of the Ministry of Transportation on the Internet, it says that the reason for today's traffic jam is that too many people get up early in order to buy Pokemon, and they park indiscriminately in front of various Longquan game stores in the city, causing traffic jams." ”
Ding Qiu was dumbfounded.
"Impossible!"
He hurriedly turned on his mobile phone and looked at the Internet, and it turned out that what the young man said was not wrong at all, and this phenomenon did not only appear in Ninghai, but also in other big cities.
"Damn, "Pokemon" is so popular?" Ding Qiu was dumbfounded: "It's time to be late for work now!" ”
"Hehe......" The young man smoked a cigarette and said calmly: "This is a rare wonder in ten years, brother, enjoy it calmly...... Don't be afraid, you're definitely not the only one who will be late today. ”
He was right, on the first day of the release of "Pokemon", there was a large-scale phenomenon of students and office workers being late across China.
The media went completely crazy, and for a long time afterward, there was a strange saying among enterprises, and leaders would shout when they saw late employees: "Today is not the day of the release of "Pokemon", why are you late again!" ”
But this is a later story, at this moment, the popularity of "Pokemon" is confirmed, and Ye Man received the good news of Win's new handheld early in the morning. She was also on her way to work, and at first she was annoyed by the traffic jam, but after hearing the good news and understanding the reason for the traffic jam, her feelings had completely changed - Ye Man had never felt such a wonderful morning.
"Qi Ying, I won this time."
From the phone call just now, Ye Man learned that the sales of WIN in some cities have exceeded 10,000, and now it is only the morning of the first day of sale, and in a few weeks, more than 3 million sales are certain!
"I won!"
She smiled with joy, and in a villa, Qi Ying, who had just gotten up, also received an emergency call.
"Are you sure you're not kidding me? …… Traffic? How could there be such a thing, why not be a monster...... What, no kidding? …… The game actually drove the sales of handhelds!? ”
After answering the phone, then turning on the TV and watching the morning news, after making sure that he was not dreaming, Qi Ying's face turned iron-blue.
"Bastard, the world is crazy!" "A 30-dollar game will lead to traffic jams, and today's sun is coming out in the west!" "Ye Man, you stinky bitch, you must know that this game can be so popular, and you are deliberately designing me!" "Stinky bitch, stinky bitch! ”
Qi Ying angrily threw the TV remote control on the ground and stomped on it a few times.
"Honey, what's wrong with you, calm down!"
A yawning woman walked out, was stunned when she saw Qi Ying's movements, and hurriedly ran over to stop him.
"What's going on? How can you destroy things casually! ”
She picked up the broken remote control on the ground, and said with a sad face: "What can I do about this, I won't be able to watch TV at home in the future, how boring." ”
"If it's broken, just buy a new one."
Qi Ying calmed down, and the eyes that looked at the woman became much softer. This woman is his classmate in college, the original school flower, I don't know how many times more beautiful than Ye Man, Qi Ying has had a crush on her since she was in college. In fact, he pursued Ye Man, and tried every means to get the shares of Datang, all in order to chase this school flower.
He succeeded, and he was born in an ordinary family because he got Ye Man, and he has been prosperous ever since. Since getting the shares of Datang, this school flower, which was unattainable in the past, has also taken the initiative to come up.
"Pokemon is on sale today." Qi Ying touched the woman's hair and said in a low voice: "Although it has only been on sale for a few hours, I just got the news that Win's new handheld is likely to exceed 3 million!" ”
The woman was startled and almost shook off the fragment of the remote control in her hand.
"Then what should I do, didn't you sign a gambling agreement with Ye Man?"
She asked with a pale face, this is terrible, if Qi Ying has no shares, wouldn't she want to go with him to live a hard life?
"Don't worry...... 3 million, it's just that she thought 3 million was fine. Qi Ying sneered: "It's not over yet, Ye Man, she really doesn't know me at all, how could I bet with her so lightly...... It's hard to get these shares, and there is no 100% chance of winning, how can I take the bet. ”
The woman's eyes lit up.
"Do you have a way?"
"Of course, it's simple." Qi Ying nodded, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "I am the major shareholder of Datang, and I don't know how many people in the company want to tie me up, since Win's new handheld can sell 3 million, then I will limit its production...... The shipment of this handheld is all under my control. ”
He patted the woman's head, asked her to get out of the way, took out his mobile phone and walked out of the living room: "Xiao Li, it's time for you to appear......"
Qi Ying made a phone call, and then took a shower in the bathroom, the warm water making his heart boil again.
"It's all your fault, and if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have used this kind of trick that would leave a handle...... But after this incident, I will be the new president of Datang, "Pokemon", I will destroy it with my own hands! (To be continued......)
