Chapter 781 GT Academy Plan
Regarding this question, Jester did not hide from the media this time. +◆+◆,
He was interviewed soon.
Regarding the outside world's statement that he spent huge amounts of money to acquire a large number of Apple's shares, he was not optimistic about the performance of Mars Entertainment, and Jester directly refuted this.
"This is simply a joke... Although I have acquired a lot of Apple shares, it is because of my trust in Mr. Jobs. Before the acquisition, I had an in-depth discussion with Mr. Jobs. Regarding the future of Apple, to be honest, I was completely moved by the blueprint drawn by Mr. Jobs. We have found a path suitable for Apple to go. Although Apple is at its lowest point now, I believe that in the near future, it will be the most popular company in the world."
As he said that, Jester's tone became unpolite.
"And, let's say something about these new Apple colleagues who offended me, but I don't mean to say that. Many people say that I am not optimistic about the future of Mars Entertainment, especially before the release of Dream Wave 3, in fact, our Mars Entertainment is a non-listed private company, so our financial information will never be disclosed to the public. But let me give an example, if we are a listed company, if you see our financial statements, you will buy our stocks at the same price as Microsoft. That is to say, we are a company full of bright futures and extremely brilliant financially. This current Apple is completely different."
"So, I don't understand very much. What you mean by what you said is that I invest in Apple because of distrust of Mars Entertainment. Do I put an extremely bright company and don't be optimistic about a company whose market value is already low to the bottom?"
"In fact, my investment in Apple has nothing to do with Mars Entertainment. It's just a very simple investment in the future. I'm full of confidence in Mr. Jobs and his business philosophy. From the beginning to the end, from the moment I met Mr. Jobs, I insisted that he is the best product manager in the world. I think he is worth a billion dollars, that's that simple."
"Of course, I'm talking about the potential Apple has and their loyal user groups at present are the most valuable assets. I also believe that Apple's market value will return to its peak in the future. What I'm talking about is not the position where Apple was before. What I'm talking about is the real peak. If I have to give an example, that is ExxonMobil or Citibank."
Jester's words caused laughter from the reporters at the scene, and they all thought Jester was joking.
No one would believe that the apple in Jester's mouth can achieve the value of ExxonMobil or Citibank, because these two companies are too huge and huge, and they are almost the symbols and symbols of the entire United States.
"Let's talk about DreamWave 3."
However, Jester doesn't care about what the reporters think of what he said just now. Apple will indeed be a miracle in business history. Now I tell people that they will only be treated as an alien or a psychopath. No one will believe that a company that only relies on selling computers can have a market value of one trillion US dollars. This is simply impossible.
"I have a lot to say about DreamWave 3. Now the tower is going to really meet you in a few days. I am very excited, just like watching my daughter whom I have raised for 18 years want to get married..."
When he said this, Jester said with great confidence, "And, we have made complete preparations for the release of DreamWave 3 this time. However, in terms of marketing, we expect that as of one month after the release of DreamWave 3, our spending on promotion will reach 300 million US dollars. We are not spending so much money just to waste the waste. I and all my colleagues are full of confidence in the continued success of DreamWave 3. In fact, we have never been unconfident for the moment."
When Jester heard about 300 million US dollars, a sound of gasping air came from the scene. In this era, not all companies can afford 300 million US dollars of working capital.
A company worth 30 to 4 billion may not be able to mobilize 300 million US dollars at any time, let alone spending it on the promotion of a product.
This also proves the strength and prosperity of Mars entertainment from the side.
However, when the reporter heard what Jester said was so confident and we were so polite, he immediately captured many places worth asking and asked.
"Well, Mr. Li, do you think it's not a problem for you to be behind your competitors' sales of millions of units now?"
"hehe."
Hearing the reporter's question, Jester chuckled first with an iconic chuckle. A reporter who is familiar with his style immediately knew that Jester was about to start a ruthless mockery. Sure enough, after the chuckle, Jester stretched out three fingers, shook his fingers in front of the reporter who asked this question just now, and then said without hesitation: "To be honest, I have never been worried about this, even for a second."
"You know nothing about what we have. Even in your eyes, you think my dreamwave 3 is similar to my opponents, such as Sega's Saturn or Sony's Ps2, and it's limited even if it's a little better. It's actually a grade of product. So in this case, I can understand that you don't look forward to our future, because you lack useful enough information, it's difficult to make accurate judgments."
"In fact, if I were in your position, the judgment I might have made was almost the same as yours. This is not a difference in ability, but because of the unequal information, when you know what our product is in a few days, you will know that any of your previous assumptions about us, even those who praise us, are a bit too early. DreamWave 3 is a work that is completely beyond your imagination."
"You think he is the same thing as other products. In fact, you are very wrong. As for why I say that. When you play the game on DreamWave 3 in person, you know why I say that."
After Jester finished this passage without hesitation, he seemed to be about to end this interview.
However, a reporter quickly asked a question, which made Jester temporarily change his attention.
"Mr. Li, do you have anything to introduce to the game you are about to be? I just don't understand why you are so kind to your game. I want to say for granted that although the game you announced before is indeed a little better than the other two companies. But except for your "Haoxia", other games are not as advanced as the other two companies. Moreover, as we all know, the project "Haoxia" is the only one, and even your company or yourself, it is difficult to make such an attempt."
Jester did not answer directly. He first glanced at the reporter who asked the question, and then smiled: "Okay. I am answering the last question of this interview, which is what this reporter asked just now."
"He said one thing, that is, the game "Haoxia" is indeed a great attempt, and this attempt is not replicable. Because it puts great pressure on the company. If I were not the creator of Mars Entertainment, and I would not even put out at least one-third of the funds I would have to invest in, I think my colleagues would not be voted for me by the unified development."
"But, there is one thing he said just now is that he thinks that other games have no advantage over our direct competitors. In fact, we have a very big advantage. I will take a game that is sought after by very thin players. Yamauchi Ichinobu, our genius racing game producer's game "Sports Car Romance Travel" to briefly talk about it. The biggest difference between this racing game and the previous racing games is that it strives to be real. We spent a lot of money to build a powerful physical collision engine. Watch the video demonstration and you think this game is absolutely amazing. If you really play it, you will think, how could this game be so**?"
When the reporters at the scene laughed at what Jester said so humorously.
However, Jester had not finished speaking. After a brief pause, he continued: "In fact, we will immediately associate with some Japanese and American car companies, such as Mitsubishi, Toyota, Nissan, and GM, and of course, including all other companies. There will be an event about "GT Racing" in the middle of next year. The name of the event is "GT Academy". The purpose of this event is very simple, that is, we want to select real racing people from players who like "Sports Car Romantic Travel" to help him become a real racer."
"This is what I thought of when I talked about racing games with Yamauchi Ichinori, and Yamauchi Ichinori was very excited about my decision, because his dream was to cultivate a real driver through "GT". Of course, although our plan is a bit different from his ideas, it is enough to satisfy him."
Jester's answer immediately caused another uproar at the scene.
Choose professional racers from players?
It's so crazy!
Seeing the surprised look on the faces of the reporters at the scene, Jester just smiled. This was the effect he wanted to achieve.
In fact, in terms of GT Academy, in its original history, it was a cooperation between Sony and Yamauchi Ichinori and some automobile companies, and it has truly cultivated a group of real racers.
But soon, the reporter came back from Jester's surprising answer just now. They asked incredible questions: "How can ordinary people become racers? You must know that racers have very high requirements for all aspects. They not only need strong bodies, but also strong spirits and extremely mature driving skills..."
Although Jester said that the question he had just said was his last answer, he thought about it for a while and decided to answer it.
"I can't say too much. This is a project that we are still improving internally. However, just from your question just now, I can answer that our racing driver selection plan this time will be very strict and the training will be extremely strict, limited to confidentiality, so I cannot reveal the content of the assessment for the time being. However, I can briefly talk about what the training will be obtained after the assessment is completed."
"First, there is a lecture on sports psychology, then the GT4 group racing driving training and testing, G meat pn group racing driving training and testing, and kart driving tutoring. This is a must-make up because they are all amateurs, driver special fitness courses, media public relations maintenance training and other contents. We strive to get an international racing driver's license by participating in a series of small-scale events within a few months, and strive to complete our debut in the professional racing stadium in the international arena the following year."
"For those who can pass all the training and tests, they will officially sign a contract to become a member of Nissan or Toyota, or other teams of cooperative car manufacturers, or our sponsored drivers. If you are excellent enough, we can even sponsor you throughout the Dakar Rally, and all of this, all the fees are contracted by us."
After answering this question, Jester bowed slightly at the reporter who was still shocked by the news about his GT Academy and left.
It was not until more than a minute after Jester left that a reporter came to his senses from the shock just now.
"GT Racing Academy? Cultivating ordinary players into professional racing drivers? This idea is really crazy..." This may be the only idea in the minds of many reporters. In fact, when Yamauchi Ichinobu and Sony really decided to carry out the GT Racing Plan in the original world, they were also ridiculed by many people.
