Chapter 175 Challenge all alone(1/2)
Late at night, after more than ten hours of long flight, the plane Yang Huan was riding finally landed at Heathrow Airport in London with a harsh sound of friction.
"Master Huan, Master Huan...Master Huan..."
Long Wu called Yang Huan gently, but the latter stared out the window in a daze, without moving.
The passengers in the first class cabin were all ready to get off the plane.
Since he talked to Zhang Ning, he has not been online for several days and has read the news for two or three hours in one breath.
Many media in the Internet field and those who pay attention to mobile games have expressed pessimism about the current situation of WeChat companies.
It is a heavy blow to the company that thinks that a lot of energy and resources have been spent on research and development.
In the City of London and Silicon Valley, many venture capital companies have lowered their valuations of game companies and WeChat, reaching a maximum of 40%, which has also aroused pessimistic attitudes among many media and investors.
More importantly, it hurt the morale of everyone in the company.
Since Yang Huan boarded the plane, he kept writing things on the notebook he carried with him.
After writing, he stared at the window of the plane.
In fact, it was pitch black outside the window and he could not see anything, but he was looking at it without moving.
Even if the plane lands, I still don't know.
"Young Master Huan." Long Wu gently pushed Yang Huan's shoulder.
"Ah!" Yang Huan woke up in shock.
“We’re here.”
"Arriving? London?" Yang Huan looked around at this time and found that there were no people in the first class cabin.
He stood up, stretched his waist lazily, and yawned.
"I have been on the plane for more than ten hours and I am tired of sitting on my waist!" Yang Huan smiled self-deprecatingly.
Long Wu nodded slightly, "Yes, so you'd better go back and rest quickly."
Yang Huan packed up his things without comment and got off the plane.
Long before they boarded the plane, they had notified Southampton and asked them to arrange for the driver to pick him up at Heathrow Airport.
When he walked out of the plane gate, Yang Huan was surprised that there were many reporters waiting for him. When he saw him, he immediately felt like a shark smelling blood. He rushed forward and surrounded him.
Long Wu was so scared that he immediately stood in front of Yang Huan.
"Mr. Yang Huan, may I ask if you rushed back to London overnight, is it because Arsenal officially asked to buy Chamberlain?"
Yang Huan was stunned, "Who said that, I didn't receive the news!"
He did not receive any news about this.
But in the eyes of reporters, these words were a kind of concealment.
"There is news that Southampton has some problems with funds recently and may sell Chamberlain. Is it true?"
Yang Huan denied this statement without hesitation, "No such thing, Southampton does not consider selling off the stars in the team. On the contrary, we will continue to sign heavily."
"But based on the information we have received, you have had problems with your funds recently, especially many venture capital institutions that originally planned to invest in your company, have now lowered their valuations to you, with the highest rate reaching 50%.
Yang Huan was depressed.
There are indeed many venture capitalists who wanted to invest in his company before, but they all refused them one by one.
"I have to clarify that I don't have any idea of introducing investment. Several venture capitalists have expressed their intention to invest, but I have rejected them. We are not short of money and do not intend to introduce investment."
Speaking of this, Yang Huan spread his hands, "Since we don't have this idea, what does it have to do with us whether they lowered our valuation? The answer is that there is no relationship between you even if you have a dime!"
Yang Huan's explanation is indeed true, but the problem is that media reporters can't listen at all.
In their opinion, it is necessary to describe WeChat companies as reports that financially in crisis and are in danger to attract readers' attention. After all, this company has been too dazzling for some time.
Whether it is WeChat, games or Southampton, they are all showing their edge.
Moreover, in recent days, Aston Martin and Shengxi Yacht have big faces in China. If you don’t use such natural hype materials, will they still be paparazzi in the UK?
"Then how do you think of the failure of the new game?" asked a reporter.
Yang Huan stopped walking outside the waiting hall gate, stopped, shook his head and said, "I must reiterate it again, that was not a failure, because we have not officially released it yet, it was just a test for us."
“Every game company has some projects that fail in testing, doesn’t it?”
The reporter nodded and said, "Yes, indeed, but since your establishment, every game has been very successful. You have occupied two places in the top ten revenue list of Apple's official store."
"Please, we only launched two games, OK?"
Yang Huan was so surprised that the success of the two games would not allow the third game to make mistakes?
When the reporter saw Yang Huan, he immediately laughed, "Mr. Yang Huan, I can understand your mood at this moment. Your company is in such a crisis. You must be very unhappy, but it is useless to get angry with us."
"I didn't get angry with you, I..."
Long Wu whispered aside, "Master Huan, he is deliberately irritating you."
"I know!" Yang Huan is not a fool, and he has not lost his mind. He can't tell it?
"Which newspaper are you from?"
"The Independent." The reporter replied with a smile.
That's the world of Arsenal fans.
"Damn, has the Independent also cared about mobile games?"
But the reporter shrugged and laughed: "Occasionally, it depends on who you are."
The meaning is self-evident, who made you the mortal enemy of our Arsenal?
Every newspaper has their own fixed audience, and the core readership of the Independent is Arsenal fans.
So, who doesn’t want to see some news about the unlucky enemy?
Especially for Arsenal fans, Southampton is a mortal enemy. It is definitely a pleasure to see Southampton investors suffer great luck or even declare bankruptcy.
Maybe they will set off firecrackers in London to celebrate and put a lot of damage.
"OK, then nothing I say is useless!" Yang Huan felt that talking to these people was a waste of saliva.
Anyway, no matter what you say, they will still step on you.
"So, did you agree?" The reporter showed a very, very annoying smile.
Yang Huan looked at the reporter leisurely and smiled slightly, "Okay, Mr. Independent, maybe we can make a bet. I wonder if you have such courage?"
"Betting?" The reporter was a little surprised, but nodded provocatively.
"Since you're so interested in us, then we'll bet that our next game will be popular."
"This is impossible!" The reporter shook his head and laughed.
Not only him, but the reporters around him felt it was impossible.
Who in the industry who makes mobile games dares to say that their next game will definitely be a big hit?
Even Blizzard, who specializes in classic PCs and online games, dare not boast about this Haikou, right?
"Yes, you don't think it's possible, but I have this confidence, so I'll ask you one thing, do you dare?"
Yang Huan even turned to look at all the reporters, "If the rest of you are interested, you can make this bet with me. I am very happy to accompany you, and the bet is very simple. Whoever loses will report to apologize and admit that he is a loser!"
All the reporters at the airport were in a panic.
"Mr. Yang Huan, are you challenging us?"
"I don't think this is a challenge, but a defense, but you can see it like this!" Yang Huan replied.
"Mr. Yang Huan, don't you think this is a very irrational and arrogant behavior?"
Yang Huan shook his head and said, "That's better than if I took a plane for more than ten hours in the middle of the night. After returning to London, I was blocked here and bombarded by you, right?"
"Mr. Yang Huan, are you sure you must do this?"
"I'm very, very, very sure!"
All the reporters present were stunned.
More than a dozen people represent more than a dozen newspapers. Although there are no big newspapers like the Times, Guardians, and Suns, they are all consulting newspapers from the developed London region of the United Kingdom. There are even newspapers like the Independent that have a lot of sales and strong influence.
If a person wants to challenge everything, what is this not a lunatic?
"Okay, I promise you the challenge!"
"I agree too!"
"I promise to bet with you!"
Yang Huan nodded constantly, indicating that he was in the fight.
"Mr. Yang Huan, please remember my name," the Independent reporter raised his press card. "I am the chief football reporter of the Independent Football Department. My name is Glen Moore, I will bet with you!"
"good!"
“But I have a problem.”
