Chapter 175 One Person Challenges All

In the middle of the night, after more than ten hours of long-distance flight, Yang Huan's plane finally landed at London's Heathrow Airport with a harsh rubbing noise.

"Master Huan, Master Huan...Master Huan..."

Long Wu called Yang Huan softly, but the latter stared out the window in a daze, not moving.

The first-class passengers were all ready to disembark.

After talking with Zhang Ning about the matter, he had not watched the news online for several days, but watched the news for two or three hours at a stretch.

There are many Internet fields and media concerned with mobile games who have expressed pessimism about the current situation of WeChat.

It's a huge blow to the company to think that a new game that has taken a lot of effort and resources to develop is in trouble.

In the City of London and Silicon Valley in the United States, many venture capital firms have lowered their valuations of game companies and WeChat, up to 40%, which has also caused pessimism from many media and investors.

More importantly, it took a tragic blow to the morale of everyone in the company.

After Yang Huan boarded the plane, he kept writing in the notebook he carried with him.

After writing, he stared out the window of the plane in a daze.

In fact, it was pitch black outside the window, and he couldn't see anything, but he was watching without moving.

I don't even know if the plane lands.

"Master Huan." Long Wu gently pushed Yang Huan's shoulder.

"Ah!" Yang Huan woke up.

"We have arrived."

"Arrived? London?" Yang Huan only looked around at this time and found that there was no one in the first class.

He stood up, stretched lazily, and yawned.

"After flying for more than ten hours, my waist is tired!" Yang Huan laughed at himself.

Long Wu nodded slightly, "Yes, so you should hurry back and rest."

Yang Huan undecidedly packed his things,

Also got off the plane.

Long before they got on the plane, Southampton had been notified to arrange for a driver to pick them up at Heathrow Airport.

Walking out of the gate, Yang Huan was greatly surprised that there were many reporters waiting here. When he saw him, he immediately swarmed up and surrounded him like a shark smelling blood.

Frightened, Long Wu immediately stood in front of Yang Huan.

"Mr. Yang Huan, is it because of Arsenal's formal request for Chamberlain that you rushed back to London overnight?"

Yang Huan was taken aback, "Who said that, I didn't receive the news!"

He really did not receive news of this.

But in the eyes of reporters, this is a cover-up.

"There is news that Southampton has some financial problems recently and may sell Oxlade-Chamberlain, is that true?"

Yang Huan did not hesitate to deny this statement, "There is no such thing, Southampton does not consider selling the stars in the team, on the contrary, we will continue to make great efforts to recruit."

"But according to the information we have obtained, there has been a problem with your funds recently. In particular, many venture capital institutions that originally planned to invest in your company have now lowered their valuations to you, with the highest rate reaching 50%. ."

Yang Huan was depressed.

It is true that many VCs wanted to invest in his company before, but he rejected them one by one.

"One thing I have to clarify is that I don't have any idea of ​​introducing investment. Several VCs have expressed their intention to invest in the past, but they were all rejected by me. We are not short of money and do not plan to introduce investment."

Speaking of this, Yang Huan spread his hands, "Since we don't have this idea, what does it have to do with us if they lower the valuation of us? The answer is, not even a dime!"

Yang Huan's explanation is indeed true, but the problem is that media reporters simply don't listen.

In their view, it is only by describing the WeChat company as the kind of financial crisis and very precarious reports that it can attract the attention of readers. After all, this company has been too dazzling in the past.

Whether it is WeChat, games or Southampton, they are all sharp-edged.

And in the past few days, Aston Martin and Sunseeker Yachts have made big faces in China again. If you don't make use of such natural hype material, are they still British paparazzi?

"So what do you think of the failure of the new game?" a reporter asked.

Yang Huan stopped walking towards the gate of the waiting hall, stopped, shook his head and said, "I have to reiterate, it is not a failure, because we have not officially released it, it is just a test for us ."

"Every game company has some project that fails in the test, doesn't it?"

The reporter nodded and said, "Yes, indeed, but since your establishment, every game has been very successful. At present, you occupy two places in the top ten revenue list of Apple's official store."

"Please, we've only released two games, OK?"

Yang Huan was surprised. The success of the two games should not allow the third game to make mistakes?

As soon as the reporter saw Yang Huan a little annoyed, he immediately laughed, "Mr. Yang Huan, I can understand your mood at this moment, your company is in such a crisis, you must be very upset, but right It's no use getting angry."

"I'm not mad at you, I..."

Long Wu reminded quietly, "Master Huan, he is deliberately angering you."

"I know!" Yang Huan is not a fool, nor has he lost his mind, can't he see it?

"Which newspaper are you from?"

"The Independent," the reporter replied with a smile.

That's the world of Arsenal fans.

"Damn it, does the Independent also care about mobile games?"

The reporter shrugged and said with a smile: "Occasionally, it depends on who is right."

The meaning is self-evident, who made you the nemesis of our Arsenal?

Every newspaper has its own fixed audience, and the core readership of The Independent is Arsenal fans.

So, who doesn't want to see some bad news about their nemesis?

Especially for Arsenal fans, Southampton is a sworn enemy, and it is definitely a pleasure to see Southampton's investors go badly or even declare bankruptcy.

Maybe they will set off firecrackers in London to celebrate, and they will be thrown into the ground.

"OK, then what I say is useless!" Yang Huan felt that talking to these people was a complete waste of saliva.

No matter what you say, they will still step on you.

"So, you acquiesced?" The reporter showed a very, very annoying smile.

Yang Huan looked at the reporter calmly and smiled slightly, "Okay, Mr. Independent, maybe we can make a bet. I wonder if you have the guts?"

"Bet?" The reporter was a little surprised, but nodded provocatively.

"Since you are so interested in us, let's bet that our next game will be popular."

"It's impossible!" The reporter shook his head and laughed.

It's not just him, the reporters around feel it's impossible.

In the field of mobile games, who dares to say that their next game will definitely sell well?

Even Blizzard, which specializes in classic and online games, dare not boast about this Haikou, right?

"Yes, you think it's impossible, but I have this confidence, so I'll ask you a question, dare you?"

Yang Huan even turned to look at all the reporters, "If the rest of you are interested, you can also make this bet with me. I am very happy to accompany you, and the bet is very simple. Whoever loses will publish an apology and admit it. You are a loser!"

This time, all the reporters in the whole airport were in a frenzy.

"Mr. Yang Huan, are you challenging us?"

"I don't think this is a challenge, but a defense, but you can see it this way!" Yang Huan replied.

"Mr. Yang Huan, don't you think this is a very irrational and arrogant behavior?"

Yang Huan shook his head and said, "That's better than being on a plane for more than ten hours in the middle of the night, only to be blocked by you here after returning to London, right?"

"Mr. Yang Huan, are you sure you have to do this?"

"I'm very very very very sure!"

All the reporters present were dumbfounded.

More than a dozen people represent more than a dozen newspapers. Although there are no big newspapers like The Times, The Guardian, and The Sun, they are all newspapers in the developed London area of ​​England. There are even newspapers like The Independent. Philippines, a newspaper with a strong influence.

One person wants to challenge all, is this not a lunatic?

"Okay, I promise your challenge!"

"I promise too!"

"I promise to bet with you!"

Yang Huan couldn't help nodding, indicating that he should fight.

"Mr. Yang Huan, please remember my name," the independent reporter held up his press card, "I'm the chief football reporter of the Independent's football department, my name is Glenn Moore, I bet you !"

"it is good!"

"But I have a question."

"Speak!" Yang Huan made a gesture of please speak.

"How to determine winning or losing, and evaluate whether a game will be popular?" Glenn Moore asked very seriously.

Yang Huan thought for a while, "It's very simple, I make a game, and then publish it, and look at the number of users who download it and the number of people online."

Glenn Moore also knew something about mobile games. After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Yes, but there must be a time limit."

"It takes a month to make a game, and the assessment results are also a month."

Glenn Moore felt that he had taken a big advantage, nodded and smiled: "What about the results?"

"You said it!" Yang Huan's face was full of victory.

"According to the standards of Cut the Rope and Temple Run, as long as the number of downloads exceeds five million, I will lose."

"Reasonable!" Yang Huan nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Everyone was a little surprised, it was too confident.

Is he really that confident?

"What about you?" Yang Huan looked at the reporters provocatively.

The dozen or so reporters at the scene looked at me and I looked at you, but no one really flinched.

"We agree too, bet!"

"Mr. Yang Huan, if you lose, don't renege on your debt!"

"We'll take a gamble with you."

"Yes, I don't believe it, you can really turn a stone into gold, if you say fire, fire!"

But Yang Huan was not fooled by them at all, "Okay, then we'll make a decision."

"However, before that, let's talk about it first. I can't stop what you want to do during the betting period, but don't bother me, and don't bother my employees, otherwise, you will be considered a violation. !"

After speaking, Yang Huan turned around and left.

Leaving the group of reporters behind them were all furious.

"Too arrogant, too arrogant!"

"Did he really think he was going to win?"

"I have never seen such an arrogant and domineering person. Who does he think he is!"

It was that Glenn Moore, who had a smug smile that saw through Yang Huan's conspiracy.

"Everyone, listen to me, let's not be fooled by that Chinese!"

"What do you mean?" someone asked immediately.

"He made a bet with us that he actually wanted to make us angry and let us help them promote it for free. If we were fooled and kept attacking and accusing them, wouldn't we help them gain attention instead?"

"Yeah, it's too sinister, that Chinese!"

"Yes, Glenn is right, we can't be fooled."

Glenn Moore saw that everyone had reached a consensus, and immediately laughed, "So, it's very simple, let's ban them from now on, and we won't report a word to them!"

"Okay, just do it!"

"Hey, we don't report it, let's see what tricks he can play!"

"That's right, when he comes to our newspaper to apologize, remember to raise the fee a little higher for him, and let him bleed a lot!"

"I see that the upstart from China is not short of money at all!"

"Haha, even if he is short of money, he has to pay more, we are short!"

"Yes, let him suffer a little and learn to be good."

"Ha ha……"
