Chapter 154 Questioning
Fred Weisler, CEO of Facebook, was a little confused about the thinking of Qin Shaoyan, the major shareholder. The company's business was so busy that he had to pull him over.
A few people went to this remote place in Illinois to meet some state senator.
Fred feels that even if Facebook wants to go to the upper echelons of government, it should also go to the California Senate.
Why did you come to Illinois? I can’t hit you with these eight poles.
Is Facebook going to move here?
Our headquarters has just moved to Silicon Valley. Isn’t it appropriate to move to another location?
But questions are questions, Fred still cooperated and showed a smiling face, watching Qin Shaoyan chatting and laughing with the black senator.
After the meeting, several people took a group photo, and Obama personally put Qin Shaoyan in the car.
Before leaving, he held Qin Shaoyan's hand cordially and said, "Nice to meet you, my friend."
Qin Shaoyan responded with a smile, then got in the car and left.
"Did we spend a million dollars just to play a round of golf and have afternoon tea with this black senator?" Fred felt a little weird while sitting in the car.
Qin Shaoyan asked back: "Are you racist?"
"No!" Fred exclaimed, "I am not a conservative, nor a red neck."
< br>"That's good." Qin Shaoyan nodded, "So you should maintain more friendship with this senator."
"Why?" Fred still didn't understand.
“Because he will become a senator at the end of the year.” Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, “And I have a strong hunch that he will become the president of the United States.”
“Shit! Not only Fred was shocked, but even George was a little dumbfounded, "He? The President of the United States?"
"Buy, he is a black man, there is no way he can be the president."
"Does it say in the U.S. Constitution that black people cannot be president?" Qin Shaoyan asked rhetorically.
"Uh, no." Fred frowned, "But discrimination against black people still exists in American society, and there are many inequalities."
"So if the Democratic Party wants votes, it must make An example to let everyone see their determination to promote equal rights." Qin Shaoyan clicked on the famous black man in the distance, "See, that is their flag, that example."
Fred. He immediately realized, "So, he will run for president?"
"Not just running, he has a high probability of succeeding." Qin Shaoyan patted Fred, "We have to be the same as venture capital, for Make some investments in the future.”
Fred nodded thoughtfully.
"Work hard to develop Facebook, and use your strength to tell those politicians that our website is very helpful to them."
"This is your ticket to the top." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "Come on, Fu Reid!"
"In three years, we will try to raise a few more rounds and then go public quickly. By then, you will be a new billionaire."
"You. Same thing, John." Fred smiled, "My friend, you are the biggest beneficiary."
"Let us toast to future success in advance." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile.
By then I would have sold my shares and run away, my friend.

Ding Yang from "Popular Software" sat energetically in front of the computer, carefully searching for some news materials on the Internet, and struggling to read those long English reports.
Due to limited funds, it is impossible for "Popular Software" to send people to Los Angeles to participate in the E3 exhibition, so they can only use some other means to obtain information.
For example, ask companies participating in the exhibition to take some photos for them and send some exhibition information.
The rest is to rely on the Internet, search for news on American websites, and then translate it for reference.
Although Ding Yang is not an orthodox reporter, he is still very ethical. He does not stitch together news, nor does he make it up himself.
If you are smart, you can compile a news story on an external website and then translate it and repost it.
Unlike Ding Yang, who collects various reports bit by bit, he dares not directly quote unilateral reports. He must verify the authenticity of the reports from multiple parties before he dares to use them.
However, Ding Yang is still very happy, because at this exhibition, Chinese game companies have become the biggest dark horses, which makes the Chinese game industry feel proud and proud.
The person who created this feat is none other than the number one producer of Huaxia Games, Qin Shaoyan, President Qin. "As expected of Mr. Qin." Ding Yang sighed while browsing the forum, "Last year's Plants vs. Zombies set a sales record of 20 million copies, and now it is surprising the world with a stand-alone demo."
The forum he visited was a professional forum where game fans gathered. There were all kinds of gossip in it, and it was also an important source of information for him.
There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this forum. Some netizens in the United States not only participated in the exhibition, but also often posted some photos in the forum.
Among these photos is the Chuxin Technology booth. Under an ordinary camera lens, the exquisite picture quality of "Counter Terrorism: Modern Warfare" can still be seen.
Those photos made Ding Yang feel excited. This is China's first world-class game, and it is still the top level in the world.
In this era, if you can reach the top of the world in a certain field and be praised by Europeans and Americans, that is a very remarkable achievement and can easily resonate with everyone.
"Qin Shaoyan" and "Anti-Terrorism: Modern Warfare" are words that appear frequently in the forum these days. Eight out of ten posts discuss these two words, which is comparable to Weibo's hot searches.
Netizens are extremely excited about the emergence of "Counter Terrorism: Modern Warfare", and they are sending out all kinds of fancy promotions for free.
Some netizens said that with Mr. Qin’s leadership, China’s game industry will soon reach the world’s first-class level, catching up with Japan and surpassing the United States is just around the corner.
Of course, in addition to praise, there are also some discordant voices on the forum.
For example, some people ridiculed Qin Shaoyan that his game design level is only this level. "Plants vs. Zombies" is just a small game. Basically, you only need to have a hand.
Some people question Qin Shaoyan's reputation as "the number one gamer in China" and openly claim that he has searched the Internet and never heard of the Golden Keyboard award.
The Golden Keyboard is just a pheasant award, or it was made up by Qin Shaoyan himself.
Qin Shaoyan is a big liar!
Seeing this post, Ding Yang's blood pressure suddenly rose.
If you dare to scold my idol, click here!
Ding Yang started with a "Lanzhou Shaobing" and then quoted scriptures to refute the other party's nonsense.
“Plants vs. Zombies has sold over 20 million in Europe and the United States. Whether the game is good or not depends on the facts. European and American players vote with real money.”
“The game depends on whether it is fun or not. It doesn’t matter the size.”
"European and American game magazines have repeatedly reported on Plants vs. Zombies, and professional game reviewers have all praised it. Why do you just have the skills to do it? You can do it."
"Your Excellency is so noble, I don’t know if there are any masterpieces coming out, so I’d like to post them for everyone to appreciate.”
“The Golden Keyboard was personally awarded to Mr. Qin by the boss of V agency, Gabe Newell. I’ve seen the award photos, how can I get to you? Are you talking about the pheasant prize?”
Ding Yang was scolding in the post, and the editor next to him came over.
"Ding Yang." The editor beckoned, "Come here."
Ding Yang quickly exited and walked quickly to the editor, "What's wrong, editor?"
The editor pondered for two seconds and said slowly, "Recently, there have been a lot of reports about the E3 exhibition in newspapers, among which the key points are mentioned When it comes to Qin Shaoyan, Mr. Qin.”
“I remember that you are very familiar with Mr. Qin. We will do an exclusive interview in the next issue.”
“Okay!” Ding Yangman. With an excited face, "I'll contact Chuxin Technology right now."
"Wait a minute." The editor stopped Ding Yang who was about to leave, "There's one more thing."
"Recently, there have been a lot of voices questioning Mr. Qin on the Internet, and many of them said that the Golden Keyboard Award was fake."
Ding Yang became anxious when he heard this, and immediately defended: "Chief Editor , don’t listen to those idiots on the Internet. I’ve seen the awards photos, how could they be fake?”
“No one can fake this. Americans have done it, and Europeans can’t do it either. "
"I still understand the basic principles of photography. There is no trace of PS on it."
The editor reassured: "Don't get excited, I'm not saying that the photo is fake. That Golden Keyboard Award.”
"I asked many friends in the United States to ask, as well as professionals working in gaming magazines there, and they all said they didn't know about the Golden Keyboard Award."
"So, you'd better tell Let’s implement this and see if there are any problems.”
“After all, we are responsible for the authenticity of the content.”
Ding Yang’s face darkened and he gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t worry. I will definitely get back the evidence about the golden keyboard.”
