Daenerys Cinema, Malibu, Los Angeles.

This is January 7th.

Thursday.

Simon returned to the United States early and started working from morning to night for more than 10 hours a day from morning to night from the second day after landing.

This morning, I arrived at the company at around 7 o'clock and processed some daily documents. It started at 9 o'clock and was until 12 o'clock in the afternoon. It was another annual meeting dedicated to the Daenerys Entertainment Games Department for three hours.

As the most critical revenue growth focus of Daenerys Entertainment after the film and television business is becoming saturated, Simon has been increasing his attention to the game business and giving more and more time to put it into practice.

In addition to a summary and review of the Daenerys game business in 1998 just now and the outlook for related businesses in 1999, this meeting in the morning also discussed another important issue: to open up Daenerys Entertainment's online business and build a unified membership system.

A simple explanation is account integration.

The specific goal is to promote Daenerys Entertainment users to only register one account to enjoy online network services such as Daenerys’ game mall, online games, Blockbuster Online and other online services. Moreover, if the project is implemented smoothly, it can also be promoted offline, Universal Studios, Oden Cinemas, Daenerys Store, etc., and Daenerys members can all use Daenerys members to purchase tickets and other consumption activities, and enjoy certain discounts according to the membership level.

As for the benefits of a unified membership system, stimulating consumption, increasing user loyalty, timely obtaining user data to control the market, etc., there is no need to say much. Even the huge amount of funds accumulated in a large number of member accounts will be a very considerable cash reserve for Daenerys Entertainment, and proper utilization can create huge profits.

Of course, if this plan is to be promoted, it requires the entire Daenerys Entertainment Group to cooperate. It is not possible for the game department to complete it alone. This time, it is mainly to vent the game department and start to make corresponding preparations.

After the meeting, everyone left the small conference room in Building 1 of the Cinema Administrative District, and Simon and Nancy Brill finally walked out.

As one of Daenerys' two presidents second only to Amy Pascal, Nancy has always been in charge of the game business, so she will naturally attend this meeting together.

Because of pregnancy, the small senior executive can no longer wear high heels. Walking next to Simon, he looks more and more small. He can only look up at the man next to him: "After I got the data, I thought it was fake, and I asked the assistant to confirm it. According to the data submitted by China, nothing unexpected happens, "Legend of Heaven" is likely to generate more than 1 billion yuan in revenue in mainland China next year. I have to say that the potential of China's game industry is really amazing."

The most important thing for a group of games Simon's Korean circle last year is that they are set similar to the "Paradise II" in the "Legend" series that I remembered. In order to get a good omen, they specially changed their name to "Paradise Legend".

The game was officially launched in China on the 11th of last month.

However, in the first three weeks of data obtained here, "Legend of Heaven" has already obtained 4.6 million activated users. At the same time, the number of users who completed the first paid operation has reached 1.3 million. Less than a month after it was launched, it created a small miracle with the number of online users exceeding 300,000 at the same time.

In three weeks, this game also quickly brought RMB 23 million to Jiangnan Interactive Entertainment, which is responsible for operating.

The average weekly income is close to 7 million.

After all, this is just the data that the game has just started to operate. It can be imagined that with the further fermentation of "Legend of Heaven" in China, the revenue in a single week has doubled to 20 million, and the annual revenue exceeds 1 billion, which is not a far-reaching goal.

I have to say that such a beginning exceeded everyone's expectations.

Just in early November last year, when Simon went to China because Lin Su was pregnant again, Chen Qing only judged that Jiangnan Interactive Entertainment, located in Suzhou, would have revenue of 500 million yuan next year. Now, just one game will bring Jiangnan Interactive Entertainment twice the annual expectations, not to mention that there are many other games under Jiangnan Interactive Entertainment.

It can be imagined that in addition to its own quality, a girl must have used a lot of resources to promote this game. She directly suppressed Paradise Online, which had previously gained the lead through "Wind Kingdom" and had the instant messaging software platform.

Therefore, Simon had to warn a certain girl again and remind her to restrain herself.

At the same time, several relevant companies in China were directly asked to start financing externally again to make concessions and ensure safety.

After all, it's really too profitable.

It's enough to make people jealous.

However, in the final analysis, just like the subsequent take-off of China's economy is unimaginable, in the end, too many people are inevitably underestimating China's market potential.

Simon listened to Nancy's feelings at this time and said, "A huge population of 1.2 billion, even if it only has one-tenth of the consumption capacity, must exceed the total population of most other countries on this planet, so such data is normal."

"It's different," Nancy shook her head: "India has a population of 1 billion, why don't you pay attention to it?"

Simon shook his head slightly: "This is a big problem, one or two words can't be explained clearly."

Nancy followed the man into the elevator, watched him press the button upstairs, and then continued, "Then I'll say a few more words, am I curious?"

Simon joked: "Pregnant women should not be so curious and take a rest."

Nancy rolled her eyes.

The elevator soon arrived at the top floor.

Simon grabbed Nancy with a small hand and walked out, thought for a while, and said: "Simply put, although India's population base is large enough and its economy is not so developed, it seems that there is a lot of room for growth, but in fact, India is already in a state of class solidification that is difficult to change too much. The resources are concentrated in the hands of a few people. The few people who have mastered the resources have a good life, lack the motivation to rise, and have no courage to reform, so it is difficult to have too much development after all."

Nancy was suddenly held by someone and was a little shy. She saw that there was no one around, so she didn't get rid of it. She just said, "I know China has been reforming over the years and has achieved good results, but are you sure it will succeed?"

He said that and came to the lounge next to Simon's office.

Girl A was already here in advance, and took two other maids from Wei's family to arrange lunch. When she saw her boss bringing Nancy into the door, she nodded, finally arranged the tableware and left quietly with the other two maids.

Simon pulled a chair and asked Nancy to sit down first, sat next to him, and thoughtfully helped the little woman beside her to lay a napkin, while continuing: "I am not sure whether China's reform will suddenly turn again, but as long as I continue according to the current path, I will have enough confidence because there is a reference."

Nancy and other men helped him spread the napkin on his legs and picked up the tableware. Because he was also thinking, he said, "You try to say, Japan and South Korea?"

Simon nodded, put on a napkin, opened the pure water next to it and took a sip, saying, "It is undeniable that although it has been Westernization over the years, Japan and South Korea have been in the Chinese cultural circle for thousands of years. Their national characteristics have many similarities with China, such as hard work, focusing on education, and focusing on the strong execution brought by collectivism. These national characteristics have allowed Japan and South Korea to develop rapidly in the past few decades. Just like Japan, if it were not for the suppression of the federal government, it would be impossible for us to surpass the economic scale. As the root of the national characteristics of Japan and South Korea, once China begins to focus on developing the economy, coupled with its huge population base far exceeding Japan and South Korea, how great is the potential? Imagine?"

Nancy thought seriously for a moment, for a moment she forgot to enjoy the pregnant woman's set carefully cooked by the professional chef team in front of her, and looked at the man beside her in a little surprised and suspiciously: "You mean, China may surpass the Federation in the future?"

Simon picked up a crab roe and roasted wheat on a dining fork and sent it to his mouth, without comment.

Nancy noticed Simon's default and asked, "Simon, would you allow this to happen?"

Simon ate the shabby in his mouth, took another sip of water, and said, "Maybe I can stop it. The problem is that doing so will not be of any benefit to the Westeros system."

Nancy shook her head: "After all, the foundation of the Westeros system lies in the Federation, and because of its size, the two are inseparable. I think it should be in our interests to prevent China from surpassing the Federation?"

Simon shook his head, laughing: "This is another big problem."

Nancy looked at the man's smile and suddenly felt a little serious. She smiled embarrassedly, smelled the scent of maize in front of Simon, and pointed: "I want to eat you."

Simon refused: "This is crab roe, and pregnant women cannot eat it."

Nancy widened her eyes slightly: "Why?"

"Traditional Chinese medicine theory, crabs are very cold foods, and eating them will hurt your body."

Nancy blinked, but was not willful, but couldn't help but say, "No wonder, Jenny said that many times, you are like a Chinese."

Simon could only ignore it again.

Nancy picked up the spoon and drank the chicken soup in front of her, which was actually very attractive. She picked another piece of chicken and put it in a small plate in front of her and cut it into a small sip with a knife and fork. She asked, "I have time, that big problem just now."

Simon said: "This starts with the nature of capitalism."

"Yeah?"

"You know the passage of the ugly nature of capital in "Das Kapital"?"

Nancy nodded.

Simon said: "To sum up Marx's words in more straightforward words, there is actually only one thing: capitalism is better at plundering, not production."

Nancy paused to deal with the chicken in front of her and looked over again, wanting to refute it, but for a moment, it seemed... there was no way to refute it.

Because what the man said seems to make sense.

Seeing that Nancy didn't say anything, Simon continued with a smile: "So, things are simple. Since capitalism is better at plundering, we must ensure that we have enough plundering objects, and that the plundering objects have enough resources for us to plunder. Then, back to the topic we just said, it is actually in our interests to let China develop rather than prevent it from developing."

Nancy immediately reacted this time: "No, what we just said is to prevent China from surpassing the Federation?"

"That's right," Simon smiled, "I just said that if we want to prevent China from surpassing the Federation, we must immediately take action and put this trend out of the budding state. The problem is that if we do this, the Federation will lose a potential target of plunder, and will be trapped in the continuous cycle of capitalism's inherent cycle. Perhaps one day, there will be another global depression. In order to divert contradictions, we will attack each other. World War III broke out, atomic bombs flew everywhere, and then nothing happened."

Nancy widened her eyes again: "How is that possible?"

"Baby, you have to know that the higher the elite class, the more clear the things they see, the more pessimistic they are about the future of the world. In order to meet the worst possible outcome, many people will buy farms on the central plains, build manors in barren mountains and forests, and some will buy nuclear defense bases from the Cold War era as a refuge for doomsday. This is not without reason. Well... Speaking of which, aren't you a pessimist?"

Nancy rolled her eyes slightly, then tilted her head slightly: "I know what you have in Australia, the problem is, that, the result will not be that bad, right?"

Simon spread his hand slightly, holding the tableware: "I just said that capitalism is better at plundering. This is nature. The result of nature is that when encountering problems, it often does not work hard to resolve them, but works hard to divert contradictions, and the result is often conflict. In comparison, the Chinese cultural circle on the other side of the ocean has the characteristics of agricultural civilization that have lasted for thousands of years, which has also made them better at production, rather than plundering, and it seems that it complements us."

Nancy tilted her head: "Why does it sound like we are the big villains?"

Simon smiled and asked back, "Isn't it?"

Nancy felt that somehow she subconsciously wanted to avoid the man's gaze, but she quickly held it back and glared back: "As a big villain, aren't you ashamed?"

Simon shrugged: "Of course not, by plundering more survival resources, it is more in line with the survival of countless creatures on this planet. Because resources are never enough, or the nature of creatures determines that no matter how many resources you occupy, you will not feel that there are too many. Instead, you can better realize the transmission of your own population."

Nancy accurately caught it: "Is it your genetic instinct theory again?"

Simon smiled and snapped his fingers: "Bingo!"

Nancy found the question again: "But you just said that the result of capitalism being better at plunder is destruction, rather than survival for a longer period of time?"

Simon said: "So, I didn't say I favor capitalism, I just said I favor plunder."

Nancy continued to look at the man next to her for a moment, and pointed her little head: "I understand."

"Um?"

"You're just a total bad guy, the big villain."

Simon smiled and reached out to pinch the woman's face, "When you are having a meal, don't say such love words, you know I don't like sweets."
