Chapter 863 Do you want a code?
The teams brought by Boss Jia are all professional, so after the game entered the final stage, Boss Jia left France instead. Because there was no need to stay here, Boss Jia had already arranged them together. If there was still a problem at that time, the entire group committee member would have to be replaced.
This is the first big event that Daqian happened on August 1, and the second big event is "Diablo" and "Red Alert", as well as the first release of "Sword and Fairy".
"Ah, I really want to go to France too!" On August 1, 1995, at the entrance of the grid mall in New York, Huang Yiming, the little fat man who had bandaged Boss Jia, muttered.
In fact, today Huang Yiming was planning to go to France to participate in the Pokemon Global Championships. Huang Yiming, as the deputy editor-in-chief of the latest new game media in the United States, does have this economic strength.
But Huang Yiming's parents disagree with Huang Yiming to go to Paris alone. Huang Yiming asked the whole family to accompany him, but his parents refused. This cost tens of thousands of dollars!
You know, Huang Yiming’s planned travel cost is US$5,000. If the family of six (Huang Yiming’s family has grandmother, parents, and Huang Yiming’s two younger brothers) are all dispatched, wouldn’t it cost 30,000 US dollars!
Well, of course this is unrealistic. In fact, Huang Yiming guessed that if her mother went out with her, with her careful calculations and her ability to sweep the supermarket and reduce prices, she might not have spent $5,000 on the trip of the six people, and $4,000 of them was used for round trips.
In short, Huang Yiming's plan to go to France was ruined, but Huang Yiming's determination and desire to participate in the Pokemon Global Championships have not changed, but Huang Yiming plans to change his strategy and find another opportunity to participate in the competition.
However, it is not without benefits to not participate in the championship. At least Huang Yiming can catch up with the start of the game "Diablo" and "Red Alert".
Huang Yiming also did not go to Los Angeles to participate in E3 because of his parents. However, Huang Yiming learned a lot of E3 news through his magazine reporters, so Huang Yiming was a little regretful, regretting that he had not obtained the pre-order code for "Diablo", otherwise he would have obtained a limited edition peripheral.
This made Huang Yiming very depressed, so that he didn't smile all the way to the mall. You should know that according to the official news, the pre-sale peripherals are absolutely out of print and will not be sold again for any reason in the future. This makes Huang Yiming's collection controller bear it, and he is almost depressed.
With this feeling, Huang Yiming came to the grid mall and found that there were a large number of people gathering at the entrance of the mall at this time, and they were basically young people, which surprised Huang Yiming.
The New York Grid Mall opens at 10 o'clock in the morning. Although today is Sunday, for young people, it is even more a good time to lie in bed and sleep. How could so many people gather in the Grid Mall?
"Hey, the first launch is only in the grid mall, which made me take the bus for half an hour before coming here!"
"What's half an hour? I rode my bike for an hour and a half and got up at 6 o'clock in the morning. It's so miserable!"
"I tell you, if Diablo is not fun, I will go to BBS. Daqian and Blizzard are cursing it... By the way, there is also Gamer magazine that makes Diablo so awesome. If it is not fun, I will give up the "Gamer" that I have been booked for three years!"
Huang Yiming said something about several nearby players unconsciously. He seemed to be the deputy editor-in-chief of "Game Player" magazine.
However, at this time Huang Yiming also understood why so many people gathered at the entrance of the grid mall. His feelings were the same as himself. Players who came to buy the "Diablo" game were the same.
"It seems that there are more and more fellow practitioners in this world!" Huang Yiming couldn't help but sigh. Although Huang Yiming is only 16 years old this year, Huang Yiming is also an old player with 10 years of gaming.
Huang Yiming has been connected to the game since he has been remembered. He clearly remembered that when computer games first appeared, there were often no people in the store near the shelves of computer games, which were very deserted.
That was the peak period of console games. When famous console games were released, hundreds or even thousands of people could often queue up to buy them.
Now I didn’t expect that computer games also have such high expectations and number of players. Huang Yiming estimated that the number of people waiting for the grid mall to open on the spot was at least about 500.
"It's a pity that I still don't have a pre-sale code..." Huang Yiming sighed and was about to wait with everyone to queue up. A guy with a stingy look suddenly approached Huang Yiming.
"What do you want to do!" Huang Yiming looked at the guy who came close to him with some vigilance. Although he was also a Chinese-faced person, not a black or a Mexican, Huang Yiming was still a little scared when he approached so suddenly.
"Friend, don't be nervous. I'm asking you if you want the pre-sale code?" The guy with a stingy look asked with a smile.
"What pre-sale code!" Huang Yiming's eyes lit up. Isn't this a sleepy pillow?
"Of course it's Diablo's pre-sale code!" The guy smiled and said, "You can get Diablo's pre-sale code for only $50!"
"$50!" Huang Yiming shouted, "But when you pre-sale, you can buy it for only $30!"
"Friend, if you have the ability, you are back to the E3 scene a month ago!" The guy said with a smile. "If you have the ability to go back, then you can bring me a few hundred pre-sale codes. I will receive one of them for $40 here, and I will accept all!"
"You bastards!" Huang Yiming cursed, but he could only pay the money obediently. There was no way, the pre-sale area was so delicious.
"Thank you, boss!" Seeing that Huang Yiming still paid the money, the other party smiled even happier.
"You collect pre-sale codes for $40 per $. It seems that your pre-sale codes are selling very well!" Huang Yiming suddenly asked.
"That's it!" the subject smiled and said, "When I went to E3, I bought 300 pre-sale codes. I was worried about whether it would be smashed into my hands. I didn't expect that I sold more than 200 in a month. Now I only have less than 80 left in my hands. Maybe I will sell it in one day!"
"This is really crazy!" Huang Yiming shook his head, and then asked, "By the way, do you have the pre-sale code for the red alert?"
"I want to ask you about this, because there were not many people who bought it at the beginning, and we didn't have any goods in our hands, but there were not many people who bought the red alert pre-sale code. You are the third one! Do you really want it? You really want it, I'll transfer it for you! But the price is a little more expensive, it costs 80 US dollars!" The other party smiled happier!
"I want it!" said the little fat man gritted his teeth, and then he saw the other party take out a cell phone and make a phone call. After a few minutes, someone actually sent a red alert pre-sale code.
"Oh, you have used your phone. You really made money!" Huang Yiming was a little envious when he saw the phone in his hand.
"Hehe, this is a Daqian mobile phone, with a very cost-effectiveness, only $1,400!" said the other party.
"Just 1,400!" Huang Yiming's eyes lit up. The $1,400 mobile phone is half cheaper than the cheapest Motorola, so you can really buy it!
