"Hello, hello, hello …"
However, the harsh busy tone on the phone made the assistant's expression very ugly.
"Mr. Wang, she actually hung up on us."
Wang Yuting's expression wasn't very good either. This was also the call that the assistant had picked up. If he hadn't held back and personally communicated with the young lady, and then had been hung up on without saying goodbye, he would have no place to put his face.
"Mr. Wang, I don't think Monster Industries even put us in their eyes. There are many examples of unsuccessful business collaborations, but I've never heard of anyone being rejected like this. "
The assistant saw that his boss's expression wasn't good, and complained in a low voice: "I don't think they have any intention of working together. That arrogant young CEO probably didn't even read the proposal seriously. Fortunately, Mr. Wang, you're far-sighted and didn't show them the game framework. "
"That's not right."
Wang Yuting sat back in his chair and kept pinching his eyebrows.
Rejection was rejection. As the person in charge of the entire Penguin Empire's gaming department, Wang Yuting certainly couldn't and didn't dare to be impulsive like Monster Industries. In the face of the compound camera technology that changed the world's photography technology, he didn't want to miss out on it, no matter how many setbacks he faced.
"The young CEO should have read the proposal seriously. Otherwise, his assistant wouldn't have used the profit distribution and some concerns about the game's impact on them as reasons for rejection. "
"I want to know what they're worried about."
"This … isn't easy to handle. Right now, our only channel of communication with Monster Industries is through the mobile software department, unless this arrogant assistant is willing to pick up the phone and have a long talk with us.
Wang Yuting continued to pinch his eyebrows. His intention to hang up the phone was obvious. The other party had no possibility of working with the game. No matter how Wang Yuting modified it, it wouldn't work.
It was like a country's business delegation wanted to come to Hua Xia to discuss a project with the government. In the end, they flew to Hua Xia airport with their passports and visas, only to have their passports stamped with "Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang" saying they were denied entry.
"The profit distribution shouldn't be a problem." Wang Yuting muttered to himself as he pondered. "They don't even want to talk about it, which means that they don't care about money."
"Then the problem should be with the game. They don't want to make the game, or rather, they don't want to make the game profitable."
"Then … President Wang, it seems that no matter what game plan we come up with, they won't be interested." The assistant shrugged and smiled bitterly. "We can't copy Monster Industries and make Future Hunter a free-to-play game. The servers cost money, and the technicians need funds to develop and maintain the game."
"I'm afraid they won't be willing to cooperate even if the game is free."
Wang Yuting finally removed his fingers from his forehead. He slammed the table and said, "Go to the technical department and sort out all the information about VR projects."
"We have to find a project that can cooperate with Monster Industries. This is an opportunity for a breakthrough. I'm sure that other tech companies have realized this by now."
…
Zhongyun City, Monster Industries Building.
The main road behind the building was lined with a long line that had been open for dozens of days.
The citizens nearby and the people working in the building had gone from curiosity to depression to ridicule, and now to numbness. Thinking didn't affect the enthusiasm of this group of people waiting in line.
There was no irresistible food. This was a commercial center. Even buying a bowl of rice had to be a long detour. There was only Monster Industries' flagship store here. The people lining up were only here for the magic crystal phone.
This was already He Shenglei's fifth consecutive day of waiting in line. For the past five days, the first thing He Shenglei did after being woken up by the alarm clock was to spend ten minutes washing up and going out to buy a freshly baked hot bun from the bun shop at the entrance of the neighborhood.
He ate the bun while driving to the public parking area of the Monster Industries Building. After parking the car, He Shenglei wrapped himself in winter clothes and went to the flagship store behind the building.
There were always people who woke up earlier than He Shenglei. There were always people with strong perseverance who could stand in the cold wind for a whole day with bulky clothes and two people taking turns.
Setting up a tent could only be seen in movies. If you set up a tent in the most prosperous city center of Zhongyun, the city management would be the first to help you tear it down for free.
Perhaps it was because it was too cold today, or perhaps it was because the long queue had worn out the perseverance of a small number of people. In any case, when He Shenglei queued up today, the line in front of him was obviously a few dozen people less than yesterday.
Monster Industries' flagship store distributed 5,000 magic crystal phones a day.
The number of people in line was usually maintained at 1,000. The problem was that among the 5,000 phones, 4,500 were pre-ordered in advance by the lucky people who picked them up within a few hours after the magic crystal phone went on the market. The rest of the poor 500 retail phones could only reach the people in line outside.
"About 5500." He Shenglei's face was serious. He estimated the number of people in front of him in his heart.
Five days was enough for him to learn the ability of fuzzy calculation. This number immediately made He Shenglei, who was numb, unable to suppress his excitement.
Yesterday, the number was 600.
There were still two and a half hours before the flagship store opened at 8 o 'clock. During this time, there were always a dozen people who had something to do or couldn't stand the cold wind and left. Today, it was very likely that He Shenglei would get the new phone of his dreams.
An hour later, there were five people in front of He Shenglei. Two hours later, there were 13 people left. Now, even if there was a knife, He Shenglei couldn't run back home to sleep like a few days ago when he felt hopeless.
Half an hour later, a staff member opened the door of the flagship store. The numb people in line suddenly shouted in unison.
"Magic crystal phone, give me a magic crystal phone, I'll pay by card."
"Here's 8400, I'm not picky about the color, as long as there's a phone."
"8500, even a display phone is fine. I'm never picky about anything when I buy."
The people in front of the line were even tighter than the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. They raised their bank cards or cash higher than when they were shooting. Without any inquiry or selection, the first citizen who walked into the flagship store and the first hundred citizens who walked into the flagship store all ran to the front desk to pay the money as fast as they could.
After another hour, there were still 57 customers in front of He Shenglei. He Shenglei counted them one by one. When there were only 50 people in front of him, He Shenglei took out the cash that he had already prepared. His hands couldn't stop shaking.
When there were still 10 customers in front of him, He Shenglei's heart almost jumped out of his chest.
There was still one customer in front of him. He Shenglei's voice became trembling. He shouted, "Give me a magic crystal phone, any color is fine."
"I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting." The staff member pointed at the empty counter and kept apologizing.
"You … You … What do you mean by apologizing?"
"It's … It's all sold out."
"The customer in front of you took the last magic crystal phone of the day."
"I know you've been waiting for a few days, but there's really no other way. Would you like to go to area C and see our other new product?"
