"It's all your fault. Our son needed a server and a fiber optic cable, so you bought them for him and installed them for him. Now, our son is going to New York alone. If our son dies, I'll drag you down to hell with me!" Mrs. Jadelle roared angrily.
On the contrary, Mr. Jadelle's expression was very calm. He was not anxious at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Don't worry. I think this is a good thing!"
"Our son is going to New York alone. How can this be a good thing?" Mrs. Jadelle was anxious.
"Of course, this is a good thing. This means that our son has gradually walked out of the shadow of depression. He is bravely going out into the world and bravely contacting more people. As far as I know, this time, he and a friend he met online are jointly running an online company. This is a good thing. In this way, our son is bound to contact more people and learn more about the world. Then, he may really walk out of the shadow of depression and become a healthy person! "Mr. Jadelle's words were very far-sighted. It was far beyond his wife's.
"But our son is like this. What if something happens to him in society? And that online friend of his, could he be a scammer? "Mrs. Jadelle asked worriedly.
"I have already investigated that online friend of his. He is only 16 years old this year, but he is already the deputy chief editor of a game magazine. He is a very smart person. I also know about our son's project. It is now a popular website on the Internet. One of them is providing the money, while the other is providing the technology. It will be very pleasant to work together. There will be no problem of him being a scammer! "
"And don't forget who I am and who you are. If anyone dares to cheat our son, I will make sure that person will not be able to live in the United States!" Mr. Jadelle's words were full of murderous intent. This made Mrs. Jadelle completely relieved.
Soon, Little Jadelle packed up and left for New York. However, the condition was that he had to bring along a maid who would take care of him. Little Jeder did not object to it. After all, it was not a bad thing to have someone to take care of him. Although he knew that the maid would definitely report his every move to his father, it did not matter as long as it did not interfere with his career.
Soon, Little Jiedel and Huang Yiming met in New York. After a simple discussion, they decided that Huang Yiming would invest 200,000 US dollars to set up a May 1st Internet company, while Little Jiedel would use the May 1st search website as capital. The price was also 200,000 US dollars. In the end, the two of them would each own 50% of the company's shares.
After that, Search began to expand in New York at an unimaginable speed.
Don't ask Boss Jia why he didn't create a search engine. Boss Jia was waiting to acquire Google! Although Boss Jia could develop an engine on his own, a search engine didn't require too much technology. What mattered more was the management ability of the leader.
Boss Jia was very busy right now. He did not have the time to manage a search engine. He also did not feel comfortable leaving it to someone else. Therefore, it was better to wait for Google to be born. After all, Google only sold for 2 million US dollars. A small amount of money could save him a lot of trouble.
After telling Little Jiedel's story, our attention returned to Boss Jia. In October, Daqian Games gave Boss Jia a very good sales report.
In July 1995, Pokemon PC version was released. In August, Diablo and Red Alert were released. In September, the Legend of the Sword and Fairy was released.
Among the three games, Pokemon PC version sold a total of 400,000 copies and made a net profit of more than 12 million US dollars. However, this was the lowest profit margin of the three games.
The best game was Diablo. Although it was sold out in August, Boss Jia confidently told the United States branch of Daqian Games that three million copies of Diablo would be released in early September. He promised that there would be no more sales.
Boss Jia did not lie. Under the crazy efforts of the Daqian Group's subsidiary, the Daqian Electronic Printing Factory, the three million copies of Diablo were released into the United States on August 28th.
However, Boss Jia was slapped in the face. His promise that there would be no more sales did not happen. In less than two weeks, on September 10th, Teacher's Day, the three million copies of Diablo were sold out again.
Fortunately, Boss Jia did not slack off on disc production. In less than three days, another three million copies of Diablo were released into the United States. In the end, there was no more sales. In early October, Diablo sold an astonishing 5.82 million copies in two months. This was equivalent to one-fourth of the PC owners in the United States buying Diablo. This was an insane number.
This caused Red Alert to be overshadowed by Diablo. But if you look at Red Alert's sales figures, you'll see that Red Alert wasn't much worse than Diablo. It sold 2.2 million copies in two months. Although it wasn't half of Diablo's sales, it was still second only to Diablo and Warcraft in terms of sales figures.
Warcraft had been on the market for almost two years now. The sales were growing very slowly. On the other hand, Red Alert had only just started. It would definitely surpass Warcraft in sales and become the second most popular game in the PC market.
The Daqian Games made a net profit of almost 150 million USD from these two games. This was equivalent to the profits of hundreds of EA games last year. If EA knew about this, they would probably die from anger.
It was also at this time that Red Alert and Diablo were released in Fusang and Hua Xia.
Everyone said that China's game review system was very strict. In fact, Japan's review system was similar to China's. For example, these two games were submitted to the review agencies of both countries at the same time. In the end, they were approved at about the same time.
After Red Alert and Diablo were released in Hua Xia, Boss Jia didn't expect them to make any money. First of all, Hua Xia only had a few million PCs and most of them were in the hands of government or commercial organizations. The number of PCs was pitifully low. Based on this number, it would be amazing if Diablo could sell a hundred thousand copies.
As for Fusang, Boss Jia also didn't care. After all, Fusang had always been the world of console games. PC games had always been in an awkward position in Fusang. Boss Jia was only releasing them in Fusang for the sake of global strategy. He didn't expect these two games to make much money in Fusang.
Therefore, even Boss Jia didn't pay attention to the sales of these two games in Fusang.

"Boss, are there any new console games today? Have the new Daqian games been released yet?" In a game store in Fusang, a young man named Satoshi Nakamoto asked anxiously.
He was a loyal gamer and a big fan of Daqian games. He especially liked the console games that Daqian announced at E3.
Unfortunately, the boss shook his head and said that those games weren't released yet.
"Is that so?" Satoshi Nakamoto shook his head regretfully. Just as he was about to leave, the boss suddenly said, "By the way, speaking of Daqian games, I have two Daqian games here. They're very popular in the United States. They're all Daqian games!"
"Console games?" Satoshi Nakamoto was a little hesitant. He had always been a fan of console games. He despised PC games and thought that they were trash. They were similar to the status of Tencent Games in Hua Xia Games. Satoshi Nakamoto would never buy any PC games, even though he did have a computer.
But since these were PC games released by Daqian Games, he really couldn't find any fun games … Therefore, Satoshi Nakamoto bought three PC games and went home.
They were Diablo, Red Alert, and Fateful Night.
That's right, the PC version of Fateful Night was released in Fusang first.
