"Put the cherry bomb on!"
"No, no, no, just put the hot peppers here, it can save 25 sunlight."
Before Richard had played for an hour, there were no less than 20 people surrounding him, and half of the people in the game room were watching the game on the computer screen.
Everyone was enthusiastically discussing how to place the plants. Richard became a little flustered after playing to level 19, and finally failed at level 25.
"Oh, what a pity!"
"Richard, you idiot, I told you to put up a wall of nuts a long time ago."
"Richard, come down and play with us, you can't occupy the computer all the time, jerk!"
"Idiot, why are we occupying this game? Eric has the disc, and we can all play it."
"Great, William, please install the game for me."
A group of people immediately surrounded Chen Mo, and William was
The big ones were making so much noise that I almost went deaf.
He quickly handed the game disc to the classmate closest to him, and the group immediately abandoned him and surrounded the person holding the disc.
Seeing this group of game veterans scrambling to play the game, William secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that classics are classics. This kind of strategy game has a lot of loyal fans in Europe and the United States.
William has been in the game room for three hours. Now the whole room is playing Plants vs. Zombies. Some students who came later were shocked by the lively scene in the game room. After watching for a while, they started discussing it behind their familiar classmates.
No one is a fool. No one who can get into the University of London is a fool. This group of people are now shocked by Chen Mo, 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 for the whole morning but 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 look here."
After talking for several times, the group stopped playing games and looked at William. They were all game fans, and they knew roughly which games were good or not. This guy 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 ultimate goal is to make money. I want to ask everyone, if this game costs 5 pounds, would you buy it? Of course, as a reward for your time, I will give each of you a free game disc."
After hearing William's question, everyone started talking at once without giving William any time to wait.
"5 pounds, of course I'll buy it. Popular games these days sell for at least 8 pounds or more."
"William, I want to buy 4 CDs right now for 5 pounds."
"No problem, the price is not expensive at all."
When William heard that they could all accept the price of 5 pounds, and many people even thought it was cheap, he became more confident about the next plan.
William then clapped his hands and asked everyone to be quiet before saying: "Guys, we are friends. Many of you know my family situation. I don't have much money and I can't find a big game company to help me promote the game, so I thought of a way, but I don't know if any of you can accept it."
William hesitated for a moment, thinking about how to start.
"Hey, William, tell me what you have in mind. I think your game will be a hit. But William, I think you'd better register for this game right now, otherwise you'll be in big trouble in the future," Robert Carter from the law school reminded William.
He had a good relationship with William because he was black and didn't care about William's skin color. The two met in an interest club and went out together a few times, and eventually became friends.
"Thank you, Robert. Don't worry. I registered the copyright of the game story and game design a few days ago, including all the copyrights that can be registered for the plant and character games," Chen Mo thanked.
He knew that Robert meant well, and that he treated him as a friend by speaking up to remind him immediately. Didn't he see that there were so many people in the game room and he was the only one who reminded him?
Even if some students don't realize it at the moment, there are many students in the interest club who are part-time developers and informants paid by game companies.
William continued, "I got the copyright certificate yesterday. Now, if you can all accept a price of 5 pounds, and many of you think that selling the game for more than 5 pounds is acceptable, then I will sell the game to you for 4 pounds, and then you can sell it to your classmates or friends for 6 pounds. Is that acceptable to you?"

As soon as William finished speaking, the students in the game room started chattering and making noise.
"That's a great idea! I'll place an order with you right away. The last time I bought an EPS game, it cost me £12, and it wasn't as good as your game. I think I can sell 100 discs."
"Tsk, only 100 tickets. I think I can sell more than 200. I can sell 200 tickets in my community. There are so many elementary and middle school students in the community. These kids will definitely go crazy when they see the game they like."
"Hey, Ryan, you're a marketing major! Why didn't I think of selling it in the community? I was just thinking of informing my classmates and friends. That's great! I think this game will definitely be popular in my community."
"Maybe we can set up a display area on campus, put a few laptops there, and let alumni try them out. If our school becomes popular, we can then go to other universities to promote our products. What do you think?"
"That's a good idea. Let's try it out at our school first. Guys, let's form a sales team together. If we try it out at school, it won't take much effort or money. Does anyone want to join? You can apply through me."
"Add me, I want to join"
"As for me, I think we can apply to the school under the name of the school's gaming club. That way, if we apply today, we'll probably get a reply tomorrow."
William was delighted to hear everyone enthusiastically discussing this sales game. Finally, more than 50 people agreed together that they would buy the goods from Chen Mo for 4 pounds and sell them for 6 pounds.
William knew that the price was actually a bit low, but the game was worthless right now, so he could only promote the game at a low price. He could make more than 3 pounds from 4 pounds, and he could also get more than 50 people to promote it for him for free. So he might as well hire 50 salesmen at that time. This would not cost much and would also stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for work.
After all, you make money by selling one copy. The students present here are all veterans, and many of them have developed games before, so they know which games are good and which are not.
William asked Robert and several other top law school students to serve as his legal advisors at a friendly price of 25 game discs per person.
After everyone had agreed on the terms and details and resolved all legal issues, William took out a pen and paper and asked everyone's name and the number of CDs they wanted.
Most of the people were doing sales for the first time and didn't ask for many, but the least they asked Chen Mo for was ten, and a few guys from the marketing department asked for more than 200 each.
After counting everyone, William was shocked to find that there were 1,050 photos written on the paper, an average of 20 photos per person.
After Robert and his colleagues sorted out the legal documents, they read them to everyone.
William used the game copyright as collateral and collected a deposit of 4 pounds per game disc from everyone, and then made the discs for everyone within a week.
William had previously learned about the price of CD engraving from a London engraver: 0.8 pounds per disc for discs under 10,000, 0.6 pounds for discs between 10,000 and 50,000, and 0.5 pounds for discs over 50,000.
Damn, William remembered that a CD was only sold for 5 RMB in Greater China in 2000, but it seemed that it was not genuine. The genuine ones seemed to sell for more than 100 RMB. His brother-in-law in his previous life bought a genuine World of Warcraft for more than 100 RMB.
After everyone paid the money and signed the contract, William was excited holding the 4,200 pounds in his hand. This was the first money he had since his rebirth, and he didn't expect to take the first step so easily.
William took the money back to the dormitory, took the game master tape, and rushed to the engraving company he had contacted before.
In fact, according to what we learned from the stereotyper, they can produce less than 10,000 copies in less than 3 days. The reason they signed a one-week contract with the alumni is to have a few more days of emergency response in case of unexpected situations.
He used the game copyright as collateral. If something really went wrong, he believed that some of the 50-plus classmates would take the opportunity to cause trouble, perhaps waiting for William to get into trouble. Many of these guys were acting as spies for the game company.
He didn't dare to take the risk, so he found a plate engraver and planned to engrave 5,000 copies directly.
The 5,000 CDs would cost 4,000 pounds after 3 days, leaving 200 pounds plus some of his own money. William planned to register two companies in these 3 days.
The highest personal tax in the UK can be 50%. As long as your annual income is more than 150,000 pounds, you have to pay 50% personal tax.
The corporate tax rate for annual profits above 300,000 pounds is only 26%. After 2012, it was reduced to 24.
So after hearing Robert's reminder, William felt that he had to register a company immediately.
