"No, no, just don't put hot peppers here, it can save 25 sunshine."
Before Richard had played for an hour, there were no less than 20 people surrounding him, and half of the people in the entire game room were watching the game on the computer screen.
Everyone enthusiastically discussed how to place plants. Richard became a little confused after playing level 19, and finally died at level 25.
"Oh, what a pity"
"Richard, you idiot, I asked you to put up a nut wall a long time ago"
"Richard, you came down to play with us, you can't occupy the computer all the time."
"Idiot, why do we have to occupy this game? William has the CD, and everyone of us can play it."
"Yes, William, please install the game for me."
A group of people immediately surrounded William, and their ears were almost deafened by the loud voices.
He quickly handed the game CD to the classmate closest to him. A group of people immediately abandoned him and surrounded the person holding the CD.
Seeing this group of game veterans rushing to play, William secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that classics are classics. This kind of strategy game has a lot of loyal game fans in Europe and the United States.
William has been in the game room for three hours. Now the entire game room is playing Plants vs. Zombies. Some of the later classmates were shocked by the hot scene in the game room. After watching it for a long time, they were all familiar with each other.
The classmates were discussing behind the scenes.
No one is stupid, and no one who can get into the University of London is stupid. These people are now shocked by William, and many people's eyes have changed when they look at William.
William looked at his watch and it was almost noon. The group had been playing all morning and no one had passed the level.
William walked to the blackboard wall in the game room, clapped his hands vigorously and said loudly: "Hey, hey guys, stop for a moment, everyone looks here."
After talking for several times, a group of people stopped playing and looked at William. They were all game fans. They could probably tell whether a game was good or not. William was going to make a fortune.
William saw everyone looking at him and said: "You all know that games are designed to be played, but the final purpose is very realistic to sell money. I want to ask everyone now, if this game sells for 5 pounds, will you buy it?
"Of course, in return for wasting your time, I will give each of you a game CD for free."
After listening to William's question, everyone started shouting without letting William wait long.
"For 5 pounds, of course I will buy it. Nowadays, popular games can sell for at least 8 pounds or more."
"William, for 5 pounds, I want to buy 4 boxes of CDs right now."
“No problem, the price is not expensive at all”
William heard that they all accepted the price of 5 pounds, and many people thought that 5 pounds was still cheap. William became more confident in his next plan.
William then clapped his hands to ask everyone to be quiet and said: "Guys, we are friends. Many people know my family situation. I don't have much money and can't find a big game company to help me promote the game, so I thought of a way.
I just don’t know which of you can accept it.”
William hesitated for a while, thinking about how to speak.
"Hey, William, if you have any ideas, please tell me. I think your game will definitely be popular, but William, I think you'd better register this game now, otherwise you will be in big trouble in the future." Robert from the Law School
?Carter reminded William.
He had a good relationship with William because he was black and didn't care about William's skin color. The two went out together several times after meeting in a hobby club and became friends as soon as they went back and forth.
"Thank you, Robert, don't worry, I registered the game story and game design copyright a few days ago, including all the registered copyrights for plant and character games," William thanked.
He knew that Robert meant well. If he could immediately remind him at this time, he considered him a friend. He didn't see that there were so many people in the game room, so he was the only one to remind him?
Even if some students didn't expect it at the moment, there are many students in the hobby club who are part-time developers and informants paid by game companies.
William continued: "I got the copyright certificate yesterday. Now I think if you can all accept the price of 5 pounds, many students also think that the game can be accepted for more than 5 pounds, so I will sell the game for 4 pounds."
You guys, then you sell it for 6 pounds to classmates or friends you know, can you accept it?"
As soon as William finished speaking, the classmates in the game room started making noises.
"This is a good idea. I will place an order with you immediately if this happens. The EPS game I bought last time cost me 12 pounds. It is not as fun as the game you made. I think I can sell 100 discs."
"Hey, it's only 100 copies. I think I can sell more than 200 copies. I can sell 200 copies in my community. There are so many primary and secondary school students in the community. These children will definitely go crazy when they find a game they like."
"Hey, Ryan, you are indeed a marketing student. Why didn't I think of selling it in the community? I was just thinking about informing my classmates and friends like this. That's great. I think this game is in my community."
It will definitely be popular."
"Perhaps we can apply for a display area in the school and put a few laptops for alumni to try. If our school becomes popular, then everyone can go to other universities to promote it. What do you think of this idea?"
"This is a good idea. Let's try it in our school first. Let's form a sales team together. If we try it in school, it won't cost much energy or money. Do any of you want to join? You can apply here."
"Add me one, I want to join"
"And me, I think we can apply to the school in the name of the school's gaming club. If we apply today, we can probably get a reply tomorrow."
William felt very happy as he listened to everyone's heated discussion about promoting the game. In the end, more than 50 people came to a consensus that everyone would pick up the goods from Chen Mo's for 4 pounds and ship the goods for 6 pounds.
William knew that the price was actually a bit low, but now that the game was broke, he could only promote the game at a low price. For 4 pounds, he could earn more than 3 pounds, and he could get more than 50 people to promote him for free. He spent money to hire 50 people at that time.
Become a salesman, it doesn't cost much, and it can arouse everyone's enthusiasm for work.
After all, if you sell one copy, you will earn one share. These students at the scene are all veterans. Many of them have developed games before and know which games are good or not.
William asked Robert and several other top law school students to serve as William's legal advisors at a friendly price of 25 game discs each.
After everyone discussed the terms and details and settled all legal issues, William took out a pen and paper and asked everyone's name and the number of discs they wanted.
Most of them were doing sales for the first time and didn't ask for much, but the least they asked for was ten tickets from William, and a few guys from the marketing department even asked for more than 200 tickets each.
After counting everyone, William was shocked when he saw 1,050 pieces of data written on the paper, with an average of 20 pieces per person.
After Robert and others had sorted out the legal documents, they read them to everyone.
William used the game copyright as collateral to first charge everyone a deposit of 4 pounds for each game purchase, and would have the CDs ready for everyone within a week.
William had previously learned about the prices of finding discs to be engraved by a printer in London, which cost 0.8 pounds per disc for less than 10,000, 0.6 for more than 10,000 and less than 50,000, and 0.5 for more than 50,000.
William remembered that in 2000, a CD sold in Greater China for only 5 RMB, but it did not seem to be genuine. The genuine one seemed to sell for more than 100 yuan. His brother-in-law in his previous life bought an authentic version of Warcraft and it cost him more than 100 yuan.
After everyone paid and signed the contract, William was excited with the 4,200 pounds in his hand. This was the first amount of money since his rebirth. He didn't expect to take the first step so easily.
William took the money and went back to the dormitory, took the game master tape and rushed to the stereotype dealer he had contacted before without stopping.
In fact, according to what the moldmaker learned, they can produce less than 10,000 pieces in less than three days. The purpose of signing up with alumni for one week is to have a few extra days in case of unexpected situations.
He used the game copyright as collateral. If something went wrong, he believed that someone among the more than 50 classmates would definitely take the opportunity to jump out and cause trouble. Maybe they were waiting for William to have a problem. Many of these guys were working for him.
Game developers act as eyeliners.
He didn't dare to take the risk and found an engraver. William planned to engrave 5,000 pieces directly.
The 5,000 CDs will cost 4,000 pounds in 3 days. With 200 pounds left plus some of his own money, William plans to register the company in these 3 days.
Personal tax in England can reach a maximum of 50%. Anyone with an annual income of more than 150,000 pounds must pay 50% personal tax.
The corporate tax rate is only 26% for annual profits of more than 300,000 pounds. After 2012, it dropped to 24%.
So after William heard Robert's reminder, he felt that he had to register the company immediately.
