American Fortune Life

Hollywood Beverly Hills.

Andy was sitting at the dining table, eating breakfast, and flipping through the newspapers on the table. The news on the financial page could be said to be full of grief, and each of them was doing various analysis and condemnation with hindsight.

"I read reports that you made money again?"

Sai Huang, who was sitting beside him, was eating her nutrition package, and asked lazily.

"Well, it's been laid out for a long time, but it's not as exaggerated as the newspaper said." Andy closed the newspaper and smiled lightly.

"Will this economic crisis really sweep the world?" Charlize has been in-and-out during this period, often staying at home, and getting a lot of information from TV and newspapers.

"It is inevitable that the central banks of various countries will come forward to rescue the market in a few days. Now Wall Street has become a shura where big fish eat small fish and wolves eat elephants. Capital seeks profit, and crisis is also an opportunity." Andy I laughed very happily, because there is too much good news today.

U.S. credit markets in worst shape in 20 years, says Bear Stearns

European and American stock markets, which have already opened, plummeted across the board, and Warren Spector, president of Bear Stearns, the fifth largest investment bank in the United States, resigned.

Bear Stearns is his key short-selling target. The more it falls, the more he earns. Even with a circuit breaker protection mechanism, it still cannot stop the general trend.

Charlize asked a little worriedly: "Don't you need to go back to New York?"

Andy shook his head with a smile, "No, it's all planned. It's enough to have a think tank and my investment company in New York. It's useless for me to go back. Instead, it's better to stay away from the vortex of the storm. You don't need to think about these things. Just take care of yourself. 【】”

Charlize gave him a blank look, snatched the sandwich from Andy's plate, and took a big bite, "My stomach is getting more and more obvious, and it won't be able to cover it up in a month or so. Australia should also clean it up." It's almost done, I'm going to move there, and, to promote the "Golden Compass", I will be on a few more shows before the movie is released, at least it won't disappear so abruptly, which will cause doubts from the media, so I will take a break time."

"Well, after a while, I will ask Joseph to take people to Australia to get the security facilities and personnel in order. I will fly to San Francisco in the morning. I have to deal with the affairs of several IT companies there, and I will be back soon. I'll be with you when I come back." Andy said with an apologetic expression as he stretched out his hand to grab Emperor Sai's little hand.

Because Ivana has disrupted many of Andy's arrangements during the few days with him in Los Angeles, he needs to meet up with the coach on August 7th.

Flying to Thailand to participate in the Universiade together, that is to say, he flies to San Francisco today and will fly back tomorrow afternoon, and he can still spend one night with the emperor.

You must know that there is still a little assistant who is always on. After leaving the villa of Emperor Sai, got into the car and removed the disguise, then went to pick up the little assistant and rushed to the airport together.

"You don't have to look at me like that. When I get to San Francisco, I'll feed you, little SAO!" Andy saw Tory Black staring at him with resentful eyes, and promised while pinching her chin.

"I bought a few new sets of NEI clothes, and I will show you when I wear them..."

Andy was also speechless when he saw the little assistant whose eyes became brighter and a smile appeared on his pretty face.

San Francisco, Mockingjay Games.

The current game company is not what it used to be. Although it is still the two old buildings with peeling walls, many people now know this game company with the badge pattern of a bird fluttering in the flame hoop How awesome.

"My World", "Plants vs. Zombies", "Fruit Swordsman" and "Happy Farm" are the four hottest games all from these two humble buildings. There are rumors that Andy's company only relies on these games It's just a million dollars a day, although it's a bit exaggerated, but it's enough to show how profitable the Mockingjay game company is now.

Andy was very happy to see the addition of two development teams and many new faces in the conference room. Now the game company has started to develop games independently, and it is no longer just waiting for his big boss to use his brain to come up with ideas. up.

"I love the idea of ​​these two new games, Blair did a great job! Also, new colleagues, welcome to our family, believe me, we are witnessing the growth of a great company."

After reading the two new mobile game plans in his hand, Andy had a happy smile on his face. This can be said to be a surprise, and it can also be seen that his CEO is really working hard.

Although the ideas in his mind are enough for the company to continuously launch new games, there is no need to worry about the lack of creativity and the company encountering bottlenecks and other problems, but he is still very concerned about the company being able to develop game projects by itself, which shows that The company is already on the track of high-speed development. He is a programmer, and he knows very well that making games is a team work. After all, the value created by one person is limited.

"Both "Madden Xtreme Skiing" and "Super Monkey Ball" use the iPhone's gravity sensing system and full touch screen operation, which coincides with the concept of "Temple Run" we are currently developing, so when I accept After the planning of these two ideas, it was decided to set up a development team. And Apple also hoped that we would develop a new game based on the gravity sensing system of the mobile phone."

Blair is very satisfied with his current job, and his CEO deserves his name. The big boss on top of him has really fulfilled his promise to let him do it and give full play to his talents. With the Mockingjay game company He is becoming more and more successful, he is also well-known in the game industry and IT industry, and he is constantly invited to be interviewed by newspapers, magazines, TV and other media, so how important it is for a professional manager like him to meet a good boss.

"Boss, although this game is said to be a sports game, in fact the form of the game itself is closer to a refreshing casual entertainment game than a relatively realistic sports game. The whole game is fast-paced and fun to play.

It has a very good drifting effect, excellent operation feel, and beautiful music. From the technical point of view of the game screen, the pure picture quality is only required to be average, mainly in terms of art. The screen of this game must be very Beautiful, bright colors, clear tones, rich characters, and excellent performance in different weather conditions such as day and night, cloudy days, etc., so the excellent art will make up for the lack of technical special effects on the screen, and the overall look will make players pleasing to the eye, so that The cost can be minimized, and the development cycle of the game will be shorter. "

The team leader of the development team of Xtreme Skiing is also the creator of this game. As an old employee of the Mockingjay game company, he admires his big boss very much. In fact, he has not acquired the company before Andy. At that time, he was responsible for the development of a sports game. He used to be an important member of the development team of "Minecraft". Some time ago, he helped the development team of "Temple Run". After a short trial, he produced this game The idea of ​​the game was submitted to the CEO after making a planning proposal. Unexpectedly, the project was approved on the same day.

"Hehe, although the cost should be controlled, it can't be too economical, especially the background music. Since it is the best, then find some heavy metal music. It must make the players feel excited when they hear the background music. There are also sound effects. The vocal dubbing is useless Questions will make the characters of the game distinct and give players a sense of cinema. The sound texture of objects is also very important.

Then there is the system, the scoring system and the stunt system. Since it is an extreme sport, all kinds of fancy somersaults and various tricks must be easy to operate, but it is difficult to achieve combos and high scores.

You have played arcade machines, the gravity sensor system adjusts the center of gravity of the game character, and the addition of arrow keys allows players to use the arrow keys to make moves. "

Andy has also played this kind of game before, so he is no stranger to it. He said some ideas without hesitation to make this game better, and at the same time, he also allowed himself to have a foot in the copyright of this game.

This is not about Andy's competition with his subordinates, but about the emphasis on copyright. After all, the IT industry is a high-risk industry that quits and works alone. Andy has to guard against it. Well, even if he is a little narrow-minded.

Andy still agrees with the statement that businessman = hurting people, how can he achieve his own success without hurting others. .
