"I can't believe that there are so many people here today!" When Zuckerberg arrived at the entrance of Nintendo, he was shocked to see a sea of people at the entrance of Nintendo's North American branch.
The 10-year-old Zuckerberg was a lucky child. He received a birthday gift on his birthday, which was a new GB game console. After turning on the console, he received one of the lucky draw cards.
Zuckerberg filled in the information on the lucky draw card independently and mailed it back to Nintendo's North American branch. As a result, he received a lucky envelope a month later, which contained an admission ticket to Nintendo's "Pokemon" conference.
Zuckerberg was a child prodigy since he was a child. He started learning to program when he was four years old. When he was six years old, he successfully wrote a computer game. When he was eight years old, that is, two years ago, he wrote an instant messaging program.
Yes, that's right, it was an instant messaging program. The world's first instant messaging program to enter commercial operation, ICQ, was only born in 1996.
Later, ICQ had an imitator called QICQ. Later, this imitator changed its name to QQ to avoid the reputation of plagiarism.
All in all, Zuckerberg was a child prodigy. Therefore, although it was his first time receiving a GB game console as a birthday gift and he had never played a GB game before, Zuckerberg was curious about everything. He persuaded his father to fund his travel expenses. Zuckerberg actually went all the way to Nintendo's North American branch by himself.
When Zuckerberg arrived at the entrance of the branch, he was shocked because he found that there were so many people gathered at the entrance. The density of the crowd was even comparable to the density of the New York subway.
He couldn't understand why so many people gathered here. This was just a game conference.
However, Zuckerberg soon understood because he heard the people around him asking passersby if they had an admission ticket in their hands. Some people even offered as much as 500 USD for an admission ticket.
One had to know that this was a large sum of money. It was enough for Zuckerberg to buy 100 floppy disks.
Although 500 USD was very tempting, it made the press conference even more curious. Zuckerberg used his own admission ticket to enter the venue and was then guided into the venue by the staff.
Because Zuckerberg was very young and not very tall, for safety reasons, Zuckerberg was directly taken to the first row by the staff. Sitting next to Zuckerberg was a young man in his twenties.
"Hello!" Although he was more than 10 years younger than the young man beside him, Zuckerberg did not have any stage fright. He took the initiative to reach out and greet the young man.
"Hello, little friend!" The young man smiled and turned around to shake hands with him, revealing an Asian face.
"Eh?" Seeing the young man's appearance, Zuckerberg hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Are you from Hua Xia?"
"How did you know?" The young man was stunned for a moment. He had been in the United States for more than 10 days. Many people thought that he was Fusangpeople or Korean. Only the little guy in front of him recognized that he was from Hua Xia at a glance, which was very surprising.
"If you don't like to wear suits, then you are definitely not Fusangpeople. Fusangpeople wear suits outside at all times, as if they will die if they don't wear a suit!" the little guy said.
"Interesting!" Jia Yapeng laughed. Fusangpeople were very particular about being formal when they went out or worked, so all Fusangpeople would wear formal clothes when they went to work.
The most obvious thing was that at this time in the hall, all the Fusang staff were wearing the same style of suit. Only Boss Jia was casually wearing casual clothes.
"Then why don't you think I am Korean?" Boss Jia asked again.
"The staff who brought me here just now was an Asian woman. When you saw her, you took the initiative to nod and even helped her arrange the chair. All the Koreans I know are very respectful and polite when they face the women of the United States. But when they face Asian women like them, they are very rude, as if they are slaves. You are different from these Koreans! "the little guy said again.
"Amazing!" Boss Jia was really impressed. This little guy had such good eyesight at such a young age. He was afraid that he would go against the heavens in the future!
"Little guy, what is your name?" Boss Jia asked curiously.
"My name is Mark Zuckerberg!" the little guy introduced himself generously, and Boss Jia almost lost his composure.
It seemed that he really had the protagonist's halo. He just sat at the reception desk and met a little boy who was actually Mark Zuckerberg. This was a bit too ridiculous.
"Ahem!" Boss Jia coughed and calmed himself down. Then, he touched Little Zuckerberg's head and said, "You are also interested in games?"
"I like to play games!" Little Zuckerberg said, "But I like to play computer games. I have never played a GB game before!"
"Then why did you come to this conference?" Boss Jia asked, puzzled.
"I came to see the world!" Little Zuckerberg said, "I set a goal for myself. I want to become the world's top computer technology entrepreneur before the age of 30. And I think that games will be one of the important breakout points of the computer industry in the future. So, I need to know the relevant information of the entire game industry! "
"You little brat …" Boss Jia was really lucky. This brat had a way of speaking, which was much better than him when he was 10 years old. When he was 10 years old, he was still so bored every day that he pulled the hair of his female classmate in the front row.
"Little guy, do you think the game released at this conference will be successful?" Boss Jia asked with a smile.
"I think there is a 90% chance of success!" Little Zuckerberg said.
"Why?" Boss Jia asked curiously.
"Because I was almost squeezed into a can of sardines outside!" Little Zuckerberg rolled his eyes and said, "Do you know how many people are willing to pay 500 dollars for an admission ticket?"
"But there are still many people who are willing to pay 200 dollars for a Pokemon game cartridge. Because I heard that those who have an admission ticket can get a box of the latest Pokemon game cartridges for free!"
"Based on my initial calculations, there are about 1200 people in the crowd outside. According to the Memphis model, every player who is willing to travel thousands of miles to participate in this event is usually followed by about 100 other players who are too lazy to come."
"So, there are at least 120,000 players in the United States waiting to buy Pokemon. If we calculate according to the boundary theorem, the actual number of people who want to buy Pokemon may be about 1.2 million. This is undoubtedly a very successful number for a game!" Zuckerberg said calmly.
