Chapter 0007: The Game Goes on Sale (Part 2)

William thought for a moment and did not agree, because he envisioned not just selling the game in London or the island of England, but selling it across the European continent, America, and then to the whole world

"I apologize, William, I was too anxious. You have no idea that I sold all 200 game discs yesterday, and there are many people waiting to buy game discs from me. William, time is money, money!" Alexander Hammer rushed in and eagerly reported the good news to William. Just thinking about the 400 pounds he earned yesterday made Hammer feel that wasting even a second would cost him a significant amount.

For more than 50,000 discs, the cost at the pressing plant is £0.50 per disc, which amounts to £25,000 for 50,000 discs

After finishing the pizza, Hammer took 500 game discs, placed down £2000, and left

Most of the people in the same grade as William now know him, and when they meet, they no longer treat him as if he were invisible

Schools are increasingly placing importance on this new marketing model, first establishing a reputation in higher education institutions, then spreading to other universities, followed by secondary schools, and finally elementary schools, ultimately generating significant attention in society. This sales method, as long as the product is particularly outstanding, allows companies to generate a buzz in society without needing to spend much on promotion.

After a pause, Alexander Hammer continued to William, "The professor has agreed to my proposal, so I don't have to attend classes for the time being. I just need to write down what I do every day and organize it to submit to the professor. If he is satisfied, he might even recommend my paper for publication in a journal. This is truly fantastic, as it allows me to earn money while also getting a paper published, which will greatly assist me in my graduation.

He rejected the proposal of the stereotypical businessman, as he did not want such trivial gains to affect his future

By noon, quite a few individuals who did not attend the gaming interest club yesterday came to find him with money in hand. By the time evening arrived, the number of people he had noted down in his notebook had exceeded 100.

God, even sleeping in is not possible" William groggily got out of bed to open the door

These students have taken more than 100 sheets, and even the fewest have taken dozens. In just two days, over 3,000 sheets have been sold. I need to quickly go find the engraver to request more stock. Given the situation, it seems these guys could easily sell 20,000 sheets in a few days.

Early the next morning, William was still in a deep sleep when he heard someone knocking loudly on his dormitory door.

As soon as the door opened, it was Alexander Hammer. William complained, "Hammer, you scoundrel, what time is it now"

Upon hearing that William would soon be engraving 50,000 sheets, the other party was taken aback and offered him a slight concession, charging him £0.46 per sheet. Ultimately, he hoped to sign a production contract with William, wishing for William to produce exclusively at his facility in the future

Cut it out, calling him a beggar. William has already sold nearly 50,000 game discs, and the money in hand is almost £200,000. He thinks he can buy the game rights for just £1,000,000? Go to hell.

Moreover, I believe I can sell 500 game discs in a day, and with 500 discs, I can earn 1,000 pounds. Mate, do you know how much that is? I have never made this much money in my life.

Indeed, William, you are truly a good fellow. Rest assured, I will sell out tonight. My friend, we are going to make it big. Alexander Hammer packed 5 bundles of 100 game discs into his backpack and ran off with it.

Alexander Hammer excitedly said to William, "Of course, William, we are going to make it big. Let's not waste time; quickly give me the game disc. I still need to go to other communities to test the sales situation. Moreover, I submitted a proposal to my professor last night. I believe I can write a paper on what we are currently doing. If our sales method succeeds, there will be many more sales strategies for products related to universities in the future. We can also conduct a survey report on the preferences of young people today; this can also be monetized."

After selling 50,000 game discs, William agreed with the distributor to supply 100,000 discs. The fact that London is now able to sell 50,000 discs has greatly exceeded William's expectations

Alexander Hammer grabbed the pizza on William's table and started eating it, showing no courtesy at all. Fortunately, William had bought a large pizza; otherwise, it would not have been enough for two people to share

Finally back, William, you have no idea how anxious I was all day, fearing that I might be robbed

Take all the change out of the backpack, Alexander Hammer sighed

William lay in bed, unwilling to respond, but the guy outside persistently knocked on the door

Some clever individuals have gone out of London to promote the game at secondary schools and universities in surrounding cities, and now many people online are asking where they can purchase the Plants vs. Zombies game disc

Do I need more than 50,000 copies at once, or just 20,000? Given the situation, 50,000 copies would not pose any problem for the entire London.

William currently has more than 12,000 pounds in hand, and at a price of 0.6 per unit, this money can purchase 20,000 game discs

Rejecting the proposal of a stereotypical businessman to treat him to dinner, William hurried back to school, bought a pizza, and returned to his dormitory. Before he could even eat the pizza, that guy Alexander Hammer came knocking on the door, all excited.

Alexander Hammer took out all 1200 from yesterday and said, "Hurry up, buddy, I need 300 sheets."

In the coming days, William will be able to consistently produce 3,000 game copies each day. Currently, there are over 150 people at the University of London selling game discs for him. He is no longer anonymous on campus; many of his classmates or friends have earned extra income because of him. For instance, someone like Alexander Hammer can sell nearly 500 copies a day, having made almost £4,000 from it. Others have also managed to earn a few hundred pounds.

Currently, 20% of the marketing students at the University of London are selling game discs to him. Many individuals are now using the pretext of assisting Alexander Hammer with his project as a legitimate reason to sell game discs off-campus.

William took the money, thought for a moment, and said: "I will give you 500 bills; once you have sold the debt, you can return it to me. This is a reward for your hard work"

In schools, whether in universities, middle schools, or elementary schools, students tend to pay attention to other students, as people naturally have friends. It would be quite embarrassing if friends like oneself have not heard of or experienced something that is popular.

Whatever is particularly popular among the youth is currently in vogue in society. The game discs for Plants vs. Zombies sold 150,000 copies in London and its surrounding areas in less than a month, and finally, a major game company approached William.

Having made up his mind, William picked up his phone and called the last rigid company.

After finishing class in the morning, William received calls from classmates who had contacted him yesterday about the game discs. All of them were asking him for the game discs. William did not even have lunch and hurried back to the dormitory to wait for these alumni who were selling him the second-hand game discs.

Many attractive women now take the initiative to greet him, and some bolder ones even flirt with him. The attractive women of capitalism are indeed very pragmatic. However, the women of Greater China are still better. Yet, it won't be long before attractive women around the world become the same, first checking if you have money, then if you are handsome. If you have neither, you might as well disappear.

After speaking, he pointed out that he would return 800 pounds to William, and then, with great excitement, began to count the remaining money in front of William

Several small-scale game companies in London have approached him, seeking to purchase his game. William inquired with a few game companies, and the highest offer was only £1,000,000

Hearing that 200 game discs were sold out in one day, William was momentarily stunned, then he became excited: "Hammer, are you serious? They sold out in just one afternoon? Hey, buddy, you are truly amazing, you are a genius."

William excitedly put his arm around Hammer's shoulder and asked, "Buddy, how did you do it? Truly, you are a top student in marketing. God bless, buddy, we are going to make it big"

One million pounds is not enough to buy the agency rights in London, and you want to purchase the full copyright as well. Do you take me for a fool? It is not that easy to seize an opportunity like this.

At that time, he would not be able to sell it himself; he would definitely need to delegate it. Currently, he cannot sign any agency or exclusive production contracts. He must wait until the game truly becomes popular, and there will be plenty of game developers seeking him out.

William went to the engraver at 6 o'clock and, after finalizing the contract with the engraver, paid a deposit of 10,000 pounds, agreeing to receive the goods in two installments to alleviate his poor financial situation

Today, he sold all 500 shares, paid back the 800 pounds owed to William, and still has 2200 pounds left, which is enough to cover the cost of 500 shares

William thought that this guy was truly talented; isn't it essential for someone in sales to have a desire to make money and the ability to take action and run?

The most attention in a family is focused on the children, and parents will pay attention to the children they like

After speaking, he became ecstatic; this guy has gone mad, driven crazy by the desire for money
