Chapter 372: Traffic jams and hatred

At around five o'clock in the morning, Ding Qiu was pulled up by his wife.

"It's too early today." He said, yawning, holding his sleepy son in his hand: "Isn't it just buying a game? Is it worth it?"

"Of course, my colleagues said that everyone else was going to buy Pokemon." The wife opened the door of her private car and said, "We have to buy games first, then eat, and after dinner, we have to send my son to school, and finally go to work - how can we catch up if we don't get breakfast!"

She took out the car keys and turned around and asked, "Do you drive this car today or I drive it?"

"You can drive!"

Ding Qiu waved his hand and said, "The two of them work in the same company, and it's the same for everyone to drive."

After getting in the car, the family drove towards the community gate. Ding Qiu saw a banner advertisement on a shop outside the community - "Pokemon, a family game!"

This advertisement is a poster, with a family of four sitting on the sofa playing with handheld consoles above. I have to say that the advertisement for "Pokemon" is great. The key to its game promotion this time is the concept of "family games" and "friend games". The latter concept is very simple. This game has interactive elements such as exchange elves and combat, and it is very attractive to primary and secondary school students.

Ding Qiu and his wife noticed that "Pokemon" was because of their children. The children said that the students in school would buy "Pokemon" and hoped that they would help him buy a copy to play with their classmates.

When they first heard about this, the couple had different opinions. The wife felt that it was good to have a game that could allow her son to play with her classmates. The son could not fall behind, but Ding Qiu was very angry. In his heart, the children should study hard and not play any games at all.

However, when they were in a stalemate, the advertisement for "Pokemon" had already rushed over, and this time its main concept was "family games".

This game is also very popular among adults. Ding Qiu has been talking about it recently. It is not a children's game, but is also suitable for adults to play. It also allows parents and children to exchange elves, fight, display collection and other interactions, increasing the feelings of the two generations.

There are a large number of young parents and children in China who lack communication, especially office workers like Ding Qiu, who place their children in school in the morning and take them home after get off work in the evening. They watch their children finish their homework in one day. There is little communication throughout the year, and there is not much to make up for this gap. "Pokemon" focuses on this card of family affection.

Win handheld console and game have time records, and parents can make three rules with their children to limit their game time. Ding Qiu was moved by this. He told his son to play only a few times a day after class and during lunch break, and then go home to check the game time at night. If the time exceeds the time, he will take the handheld console back.

"This kid should be obedient..."

Ding Qiu thought about this, and the car drove to the street without realizing it. However, the scene that appeared in front of him stunned him - the vast streets were already stuffed with vehicles. Moreover, his wife had just driven the car up and had no time to react, and the car behind him immediately bet on the retreat.

"Damn it, why are there traffic jams? It's not the peak hours of work!" The wife honked the horn in anger, but Ding Qiu couldn't agree with her. Ninghai would have traffic jams during the peak hours of get off work in the morning and afternoon. However, Ninghai's road planning is very good, and there will definitely be no scene like this in front of her. She can't see the end at a glance.

"This is like a long holiday!" Ding Qiu murmured to himself. This scene is more like the first day of the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday. Before dawn, a large number of people drove back to their hometowns or travel, and it would be in a mess at that time. But now, let alone long holidays, even a small festival will have to last half a month.

"Has there been any major traffic accident?" Ding Qiu couldn't help thinking, and his wife had already opened the car window and the car next to her started arguing about grabbing the road.

"Please let me give it to you, I will send my child to school!", "Damn it, so do I! Don't squeeze, let me first!", "Sir, do you understand, ma'am?"

Listening to the quarrel between the two, Ding Qiu couldn't help but open the car and boat, poked his head out and looked. It turned out that there was no end to the traffic ahead, and the three lanes were filled with cars.

"Hey, buddy, smoke a cigarette."

A car on the right opened the window, and the young man sitting in the driver's seat took out a cigarette and handed it to Ding Qiu, and said enthusiastically: "You are also going to buy "Pokemon", right?"

"Yes, why are you guys too..." Ding Qiu looked stunned.

"Damn it, it's true. This is simply a strange sight! No, I have to take a look!" The young man seemed very excited. He held a cigarette in his mouth and took out his cell phone to take a photo around him. Then he turned around and said to Ding Qiu: "Let me tell you, not only us, but you see that all the cars on the way are almost all going to buy "Pokemon"!"

The young man pointed to his cell phone and said, "You can check the announcement from the Ministry of Transportation online. It said that the reason for the traffic jam today is that too many people are getting up early in order to buy "Pokemon". They parked randomly in front of various Longquan game stores in the city, causing traffic jams."

Ding Qiu was stunned.

"Impossible!"

He quickly turned on his mobile phone and looked at it online, but the young man said nothing, and this phenomenon seemed to occur not only in Ninghai, but also in other big cities.

"Damn it, "Pokemon" is so popular?" Ding Qiu was stunned: "It's time to be late to work!"

"Haha..." The young man smoked and said calmly: "This is a rare wonder in ten years. Brother, enjoy calmly... Don't be afraid, you will definitely be late today."

He was right. On the first day of the release of "Pokemon", large-scale lateness of students and office workers in China occurred in various parts of China.

The media went completely crazy. For a long time, a strange saying started to spread among companies. When leaders saw late employees, they would yell: "Today is not the day when Pokemon is released, why are you late again?"

But this is a story later. The popularity of "Pokemon" is confirmed at this moment. Ye Man received good news from Win's new handheld machine early in the morning. She was also on the way to work. At first, she was angry about traffic jams, but after hearing the good news and understanding the cause of traffic jams, her feelings had completely changed - Ye Man had never felt such a wonderful morning.

"Qi Ying, I won this time."

From the phone call just now, Ye Man learned that the sales of Win in some cities have exceeded 10,000. Now it is only the first morning of the first sale. In a few weeks, sales of more than 3 million are certain!

"I won!"

She smiled happily, and in a villa, Qi Ying, who had just woken up, also received an emergency call.

"Are you sure you're not teasing me?... Traffic jams? How could this happen? He Xi is not a monster... What, isn't you kidding?... The game actually really drives the sales of handheld consoles!?"

After answering the phone, he turned on the TV to watch the morning news and confirmed that he was not dreaming, Qi Ying's face turned pale.

"Bastard, this world is so crazy!", "A 30 yuan game will actually cause traffic jams. Today the sun hits the west side!", "Ye Man, you stinky bitch, you must know that this game can be so popular, and you are deliberately designing me!", "Stinky bitch, stinky bitch!"

Qi Ying angrily threw the TV remote control to the ground and stomped it a few times.

"Dear, what's wrong with you? Calm down!"

A woman yawning came out, and was stunned when she saw Qi Ying's movements, and hurriedly ran over to stop him.

"What's going on? Why are you destroying things casually!"

She picked up the broken remote control on the ground and said sadly: "What should I do? I can't watch TV at home in the future. How boring."

"If it's broken, just buy a new one."

Qi Ying calmed down and looked at the woman with a softer look. This woman was his college classmate. The school beauty was many times more beautiful than Ye Man. Qi Ying had a crush on her since she went to college. In fact, he pursued Ye Man and tried every means to get shares in Datang, all in order to chase this school beauty.

He succeeded. He was born in an ordinary family and became successful since he got Ye Man. Since he obtained Datang shares, this school beauties who were out of reach in the past have also taken the initiative to come up.

"Today "Pokemon" is released." Qi Ying touched the woman's hair and said in a low voice: "Although it has only been on sale for a few hours, I just got the news that Win's new handheld machine is likely to exceed 3 million!"

The woman was shocked and almost shook off the fragments of the remote control on her hand.

"What should I do? Didn't you sign a bet agreement with Ye Man?"

She asked with a pale face, this is amazing. If Qi Ying loses shares, wouldn't she have to live a hard life with him?

"Don't worry... 3 million, it's just that she thought 3 million is fine." Qi Ying sneered: "The thing is not over yet. Ye Man, she really doesn't know me at all. How could I bet with her so easily... I finally got these shares and didn't have a 100% chance of winning. How could I accept the bet?"

The woman's eyes lit up.

"You have a way?"

"Of course, it's very simple." Qi Ying nodded, a light flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "I am the major shareholder of Datang. I don't know how many people in the company want to curry favor with me. Since Win's new handheld machine can sell 3 million, I just need to limit its production... The shipment of this handheld machine is all under my control."

He patted the woman's head, told her to move out of the way, took out her cell phone and walked out of the living room: "Xiao Li, it's time for you to come out..."

Qi Ying made a phone call and took a shower in the bathroom. The warm water made his heart boil again.
