William looked at the reporter who was always able to seize opportunities and gave her a thumbs up in his heart. There was a live television broadcast today, and even beautiful women had to learn how to steal the limelight. She seized the opportunity just like that. Several cameras were pointed at her, and this made Diana smile crookedly.
"Yes, why? This has to do with the consumer base and the current economic environment. Just look at the stock market in the 2000s. The middle class is now very rich. The market is booming, and people have money to spend on entertainment. Let me ask everyone a question. Do you know what young people like nowadays? "
William saw that many people nodded, and he did not keep them in suspense. He continued, "Many of us who were born in the 1980s in Europe and America are in the stage of growing up. We live in the 1990s, and the stock market is unprecedentedly prosperous. The affluence of life reflects the decadence and decadence of young people nowadays. Therefore, young people in England are anti-tradition, anti-dogma, anti-authority, and undisciplined. They regard many things that middle-aged people view as low-class as fashion.
They want to be different from others in everything. They want others to think that they are cool. Therefore, young people in London wear hats with zombies printed on them and T-shirts with zombies printed on them when they go out. They think that it is cool. This is fashion.
That's why Jia Re Fu had sold 430,000 T-shirts and hats in half a month. This is only in the few counties around London. What about the rest of Europe and America? I feel that Pepsi can earn 135 million pounds a year just from selling T-shirts and hats. They are really doing a good business. "
"Wow," all the reporters looked at William and Roger Moore of Pepsi in disbelief.
Roger Moore was smiling so much that his eyes could not be seen. He was really happy now. William Devonshire was a black-hearted guy and asked for a high price. However, if what he said was true, then Pepsi had really done a good business this time. Roger Moore's position might even be promoted next year.
Should he keep in touch with William Devonshire in the future? This guy was a genius. Regardless of whether what William said could really be realized, after William's analysis today, the sales of the game's peripherals would definitely increase. As long as it was related to popularity, it would sell well.
This guy is really an all-rounder, and he has the gift of the gab. This won't do, I have to hold onto this guy tightly. Who knows, he might even be able to develop a game like Plants vs Zombies in the future.
This little guy was a super potential stock.
William looked at Roger Moore from Blockbuster and said with a smile, "In order for Blockbuster to have more confidence in this game and pay me earlier, I'll give Blockbuster a suggestion for free."
Everyone present could not help but burst into laughter. Roger Moore's laughter was the happiest. He now found William so pleasing to the eye.
"Now that the internet is on the rise, in two years' time, I think we can release an online version of the game when the gaming craze has died down. We can design the game into a four-grid internet mode."
Before William could say his plan, Roger Moore from Blockbuster quickly interrupted him. "William, we at Blockbuster can directly hire you as our game designer. Or, if you don't have that much time, you can be our consultant. We will pay you for the plan you come up with. As for the future plans you mentioned, we can discuss them in private later. William, we at Blockbuster believe in your gaming wisdom. Don't worry, we will pay you."
Roger Moore was guarding against the reporters as if they were thieves. He did not want William's plan to be known by everyone. He did not want his competitors to copy William's ideas and cause trouble for Blockbuster.
William also realized that what he said was inappropriate, so he nodded and agreed to Roger Moore's request.
However, the reporters present at the scene did not agree. Such good news material was gone just like that. The reporters collectively protested against Blockbuster's actions. They did not care if it would affect the lifespan of the game.
Many hot-tempered reporters were loudly scolding Roger Moore.
However, Roger Moore was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He sat in his seat and ignored the shouts of the reporters. He was now nervously staring at William.
William was amused by his nervous look. He shook his head at Roger Moore, indicating that he would not talk about the previous topic.
After the reporters shouted for a long time, the two people on the viewing platform did not respond. They had no choice but to sit down.
William apologized and said, "Sorry, it's my fault. The topic just now did involve the future plans and benefits of the game. In consideration of the buyer's interests, I had a private discussion with Blockbuster. Because of my mistake, I apologize to everyone."
William did not care about the reporters' shouts. "Alright, I think that now no one will have any objections to Blockbuster spending 135 million pounds to buy the game. I'd better continue to answer the BBC reporter's question. My childhood and adolescence were not good. At that time, I had too many doubts and worries. I want to thank my mother and my grandparents in heaven. They gave me all the love they could. They allowed me to feel care and warmth in this cold and discriminating world. Although I was not rich, I was full of happiness."
Hearing William's low voice, many people in front of the TV were about to cry. William's mother, Lena, looked at her son on the TV and was moved to tears. She kept saying, "William, you are mother's pride. Henry and Tanya will also be proud of you."
"I don't have many friends. When I was young, no one played with me in school. I could only play by myself. I treated solving math problems as a game, reading books as a hobby, and the library as a playground. When I was bored, I would play Texas Hold 'em with myself, swim, and shoot arrows.
Haha, you guys probably don't know that I'm very talented in archery. I'm good at math, so I can calculate where the arrow will land in my mind when it's shot. Now, I can even shoot the bullseye with my eyes closed after looking at the target. Oh right, the target is a 70-meter target. In my entrance exam, I got full marks in the sports section because I scored 60 points with six arrows. "
"Unbelievable, how is that possible?" Everyone present had an expression of disbelief. At a distance of 70 meters, the bullseye could not be seen. Even an Olympic champion could not shoot the bullseye with his eyes closed.
Seeing that the reporters did not believe him, William said, "Perhaps, after today's press conference, we can find a time to try it. What do you think?"
"Of course." "That would be great." There were voices of agreement from time to time.
BBC's Diana League immediately decided, "William, we at BBC can arrange everything for you. As long as you dare to come, I'm afraid that you will find all kinds of excuses to refuse. William, you have to keep your word. Otherwise, I will go to your house and block you."
"Okay, let's make an appointment," William agreed.
