On September 15th, in anticipation, the audition of Global Satellite TV's "Super Girl" will be launched on this day!

Early in the morning, Xia Yu set off from home by car, passing by an audition point in Kowloon.

The audition point is not located in the most prosperous place, but next to the Wellcome supermarket, which can be regarded as attracting customer traffic for brother enterprises.

Not to mention anything else, the contestants who lined up in a long line, and the relatives who accompanied them, had to buy something from the supermarket when they were hungry and thirsty.

At the audition site, a huge propaganda poster was posted on the wall, which could be seen clearly even by passers-by from a hundred meters away.

The long queue is almost all composed of young and beautiful girls, which is definitely a dazzling scenery, attracting many passers-by to watch, and many reporters are constantly taking pictures and interviews.

This kind of heat made Xia Yu, who deliberately got out of the car to observe, very satisfied.

If there is also this kind of heat in Southeast Asia, then the business of satellite signal receivers is not to worry at all.

The car drove all the way to Kowloon Kwun Tong Industrial Park, where Tiangong Electronics Co., Ltd. is located.

After Xia Yu got out of the car, he saw that Huo Jianning was already waiting at the door.

Xia Yu didn't talk much nonsense, and walked into the production area with Huo Jianning.

At the beginning, the company designed a two-storey plant, which did not need to lay a deep foundation, and after a few months, after a few months of non-stop construction, the first batch of factories had already been put into use.

After entering, Xia Yu saw that the parts on the assembly line were being passed one by one, and then assembled by the workers, and finally came out with brand new arcade machines.

After the finished product comes out, there will be a special staff to debug it to ensure that the arcade machine is qualified.

Walking with Huo Jianning, Xia Yu observed for a while, and then asked Huo Jianning, "How is the order situation now?"

Huo Jianning took out a booklet from the bag and handed it to Xia Yu, and said: "Chairman, this is the data of the order, now the customer is mainly Mr. Xia Lei, who ordered three hundred machines at one time, and ordered a batch of each game, with a total order of three million Hong Kong dollars." ”

Xia Yu bowed slightly, opened the booklet, and saw the specific data.

There are orders for five arcade machines, namely "Huaxia Cube", "Super Mario", "Donkey Kong", "Pac-Man", and "Tank Wars", the most of which is "Super Mario", which directly ordered a hundred units.

Arcade machines with five games, with different price points.

For example, "Huaxia Cube" and "Tank Wars", which can be played for a longer time, are cheaper, and the factory price of a machine is 2,300 US dollars, and the Hong Kong dollar is 1.6 million.

For example, "Super Mario", the most interesting arcade game, is the most expensive, with a factory price of 2,500 US dollars, or about 11,500 Hong Kong dollars.

Like the "Donkey Kong" and "Pac-Man" arcades, the factory price is US$2,400, or about HK$110,000.

The price range before $2,300 to $2,500 was not too expensive.

The ex-factory price of "Space Invaders" by the island nation Taidong Company is also 2,400 US dollars, which is the same price as "Donkey Kong" and "Pac-Man", and it has not been sold for more than a year without seeing a penny drop.

"Donkey Kong" and "Pac-Man" are classic games of Nintendo and Nangong Dream in the previous life, and the quality is not inferior to "Space Invaders".

What's more, "Space Invaders" has been on the market for more than a year, and many players have long been tired of playing it and have lost their freshness, and it is only because there is no comparable game on the market that it has been out of the limelight.

I believe that at this time, as soon as "Donkey Kong" and "Pac-Man" are launched, they will definitely be able to compete with "Space Invaders" for the market.

In the face of arcade machines with exactly the same price and no less quality, I believe that customers absolutely know how to choose.

Of course, what the specific situation is, you have to experience it yourself to know.

"Let's go, let's try the machine!"

After Xia Yu finished speaking, he went straight to the debugging area, opened a nearby arcade machine, and found that it was a game of "Super Mario", he immediately picked up a game currency in the box next to him and stuffed it in, and waited until the game started to play.

"Smack!"

"Knock knock!"

The sound of joystick collision and button buttons kept ringing, and Xia Yu controlled Mario to keep jumping, eating gold coins and mushrooms.

Huo Jian watched quietly from the sidelines, while Li Qian watched Xia Yu play the game with interest.

"Oops, be careful...... Fell into a ditch......"

Ten minutes later, in an exclamation from Li Qian, Xia Yu finally couldn't dodge, the plumber in red and blue pants fell into the ditch, and his life was gone, and the game interface showed that the game currency was stuffed and started again.

Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction, did not choose to continue to put coins, and walked to a machine next to him, opened it and then "Huaxia Cube", and continued to play.

Li Qian hadn't played these arcades before, so she didn't know the situation, but Huo Jianning had experienced it and was clear about the difficulty of "Huaxia Cube".

However, when I saw the chairman play for the first time, he was very skillful, and he quickly changed the direction and position, and eliminated the overlapping squares one by one, and after ten minutes, it still did not exceed the height of a book.

Huo Jianning's eyes were full of admiration, the chairman is really the chairman!

After playing many times, he could only hold on for five minutes to gameover, but Chairman Xia Yu insisted on playing for so long for the first time.

Finding that Li Qian was watching with relish, the corners of Xia Yu's mouth were slightly raised, her buttocks moved to the side, and she said to Li Qian: "Qianqian, you can also sit up and play with you!"

"Okay, okay!"

Li Qian cheered, she had been watching it for so long, she had long wanted to give it a try.

After she sat on the stool, Xia Yu immediately grabbed her hand and put it on the joystick and the red button, and then let go of her hand.

It seems easier said than done, Li Qian was a little in a hurry, and the originally good situation suddenly became a mess, and the height immediately exceeded half.

In this case, Li Qian was even more nervous, the joystick shook back and forth, and her little face was full of nervousness.

Li Qian's dedication to playing the game was very cute, and Xia Yu couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Ten seconds later, amid Li Qian's wail, the figure is pushed to the top, and the game is over.

"How could this be, die so soon!"

Xia Yu laughed: "Sissi, you are not familiar with the game just now, do you want to play another game?"

"Well, I don't believe it, huh!"

Li Qian's little face flushed, and she immediately nodded her little head and said.

Xia Yu laughed, stuffed her with a game currency again, the game restarted, and Li Qian played seriously again.

In about two minutes, the game ends again!

"Oops, I'm so angry, I'm dead again!"

Li Qian muttered, her little face full of depression.

Seeing that Li Qian was over in more than a minute, Huo Jianning breathed a sigh of relief, this is a normal operation!

If anyone is as powerful as Chairman Xia Yu and plays for dozens of minutes, what money does the game hall owner make?

The "Huaxia Cube" arcade machine produced by Tiangong Electronics will definitely be crowded with warehouses with returns.

"Sissi, would you like to try another game?"

Xia Yu asked softly.

Li Qian's eyes flashed brightly, looked at the arcade of "Super Mario" that Xia Yu played just now, and said happily: "I want to play this." ”

"No problem!"

After turning on a machine, Li Qian played with relish again.

While Li Qian was playing devotedly, Xia Yu said to Huo Jianning: "Jianning, the difficulty of these two games is not bad now, but when it comes to takeaways, we must teach customers how to adjust the difficulty. ”

Huo Jianning nodded: "Okay, chairman!

"The product has been produced, how are you going to market it?"

Xia Yu asked.

"Chairman, the company has made a plan, mainly from two aspects, the first is to concentrate on a number of machines in the downtown area, so that the public can play for free for a few days, if someone sees a business opportunity, they will come to place an order. ”

"The second aspect is to sell to the original game hall owners, one of each machine, let them operate for free for three days, and then decide whether to place an order after seeing the effect. ”

Huo Jianning immediately replied.

Xia Yu bowed slightly: "This is a normal routine, not bad!"

"There are very few game halls in Xiangjiang, your first marketing method is more suitable for Xiangjiang, and the island market is suitable for the same time. ”

"You can sell to brother companies, supermarkets and movie theaters can be placed for customers to relax, and you can also set up a separate store in the Harbour City shopping mall to set up a large game hall, you go to them, just say what I said!"

Zhou Cheng, Jiang Zhiqiang, Liu Shihao and others are not stupid people, and they should be able to understand Xia Yu's intentions.

It's definitely a great way to drive foot traffic with game consoles.

In particular, opening a large game hall in the Harbour City mall will definitely make money and attract customers to the mall.

Game areas like the big malls of later generations, "Star Legends" and other games are almost indispensable, and the speed of making money is simply not too fast, and it is definitely a machine that burns players' money.

Players will definitely be more likely to eat, drink, shop, etc. in the mall after playing for a long time, which can drive the overall revenue of the mall.

Huo Jianning understood it at one point, his expression was excited, and he immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay!"

"By the way, chairman, half a month later is the American Electronic Technology Expo, I want to take these five arcade machines to the exhibition, the quota has been obtained!"

Xia Yu's eyes lit up slightly, the American Electronic Technology Expo had a great influence, and Taidong Company's "Space Invaders" became an instant hit there, opening up the American market in an instant.

The road traveled by "Space Invaders" is also suitable for Sega and Tiangong Electronics Co., Ltd., presumably when these five arcade machines are unveiled, they will definitely be able to become the most beautiful cubs at the expo and cause a huge sensation.

Xia Yu readily agreed: "Go ahead, this is a good platform, and you will definitely be able to win big orders!"

"In order to cope with the surge in orders, it is recommended that you increase production capacity, and if it is too late, you will go all out to produce the motherboard, and then sell the motherboard directly, and let part of the profits from the assembly go out. ”

After receiving the affirmation of the chairman, Huo Jianning doubled his confidence: "Okay!"
