Chapter 436: Reckoning (Page 1/1)

A billion dollars, how is that possible?!

He doesn't know how much the country's foreign exchange reserves are now, but in his last life, when he was in college classes, he heard the economics teacher say that from the founding of the People's Republic of China to before the reform and opening up, most of the time it was hovering around one or two hundred million dollars, and it was a little better in the seventies, and the highest was eight or nine billion, but unfortunately it fluctuated greatly, especially with the large-scale import of industrial equipment after opening up, that point of reserves was also sharply consumed, and the worst year still owed more than a billion yuan, and it was not until the eighties that it gradually eased up, but it was also high and low, and it was never enough。

Therefore, Chen Dahe didn't believe what Oliver said at all.

Those two games are indeed good, but even the most classic games need time to explode, and now it's only been two months, how much money can be sold in two months? tens of millions of dollars, billions? Just kidding!

But the previous things should be true, the movie and TV series are on fire, and the data is not much different from the memory of the previous life, with the help of the popularity of the movie, the martial arts performance team in the United States should also be able to open up the situation, these are all good news, if you don't play him at the end, Oliver's good news is still very shocking.

Just as Chen Dahe was thinking silently, the phone in his hand rang again.

When I picked it up, it was Oliver.

"Hey, what do you mean, why are you hanging up on me?"

"And ask me what you mean," Chen Dahe laughed, "If you want to lie to me and say that the game sold for 100 million dollars, maybe I believe it, why do you want to say a billion?

"You say I'm bragging?" Oliver's voice rose sharply, and soon came down again, "Okay, you say I'm bragging, right, then we'll settle the score,"

"The last time Jim and they went to your place, he also said that the limit monthly production capacity of Attack Games is 6,000 home machines and 1,300 arcade machines, and then he asked me to give him 1 million, which increased the production capacity by 20 times, that is, it can produce 120,000 home machines and 26,000 arcade machines a month, and more than two months have passed now, that is, 240,000 home machines and 52,000 arcade machines, right?"

Chen Dahe nodded, "I did good math in primary school, but don't think that I don't understand production, the expansion of production capacity takes time, the ordering of spare parts, the recruitment and training of workers, the run-in of new machines, and warehouses and logistics all have an impact on production, what you say is just a theoretical value." ”

"Yo yo, it's not bad, you even know this," Oliver said in a tone like a child, grinning, "Of course, it takes a process to increase production capacity, but who told you that twenty times is the limit of production capacity?"

"As early as more than two months ago, after the two games were developed, everyone in the game company played them for several days, and the result was that Jim reported to me again, applied for 10 million US dollars in production funds, and placed spare parts orders across the United States, and some of the assembly processes were also outsourced to several other factories, and they were only responsible for the final OEM and packaging, so the current limit production capacity is 30 times the original, which is still limited by the spare parts supplier, otherwise it can be higher,"

"And the publicity and distribution costs have also increased to two million dollars, and by the time the product was officially released a month ago, they had 60,000 home consoles and 15,000 arcade machines, as well as 800,000 game cartridges. ”

When Chen Dahe heard this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, "How dare you play so big?"

"I have faith in you," Oliver laughed, "Didn't you still borrow Bushnell's famous quote, whoever can underestimate the intelligence of Americans can make a lot of money, and when Jim made a report, he handed over two game consoles together, I played it myself, and the people around me also played it, and they all said it was fun, so why don't I gamble on it?!"

"It turns out I won the bet," Oliver continued, "and from the third day after the game's release, all channels were asking for goods, and Jim also expanded the production capacity to the maximum, and so far, the average production capacity is exactly twenty times the original one, which is exactly the data I just reported to you, and from next month, this number will steadily increase!"

"Okay," Chen Dahe snapped his fingers, "This can only show that the game is popular, but it's still far from a billion dollars!"

"Naive child," Oliver snorted, as if taking pity on someone's intelligence, "don't you know that there is such a thing in this world called a deposit?"

"Wait," Chen Dahe frowned, "you just said a deposit, not a deposit?"

The deposit is non-refundable, the contract must be fulfilled, and the deposit is only equivalent to a part of the advance payment, and there is no strong legal constraint, there is a big difference between the two.

"Of course," Oliver snorted lightly, "of course it's a deposit, and it's paid in full, otherwise you won't be able to pick up the goods at all, the home machine is $360 a piece, the arcade machine is $1,200 a piece, and the game cartridge is $30 a piece, these are all factory prices, and the terminal price is 20 to 25 percent higher than this, so far, the game company has shipped a total of 240,000 home machines, 52,000 arcade machines, and 2 million game cartridges, you do your own math, how much is this?"

Chen Dahe was shocked, he really sold so much? Just as he was about to go to find the computer, Oliver continued, "In addition, we have also received orders for 1.6 million home machines, 100,000 arcade machines, and more than 5 million cassettes, all of which are paid for the full deposit.

"Uh," Chen Dahe only felt that his eyes were dazed, and he couldn't speak, how many goods Oliver said just now, why can't he remember clearly?

"Hmph," Oliver said with a sneer, "a total of 1,840,000 home machines, 152,000 arcade machines, and more than 7,000,000 cassettes for the total payment, one billion and seven million!"

Hiss, Chen Dahe gasped, there are really a billion dollars!

Walking to the window with the phone, Chen Dahe opened the window, and the cold wind blew in with snowflakes, which suddenly made his face shiver and his brain a little clearer.

"Oliver," Chen Dahe said, rubbing his head, "although I have never been to the United States myself, let alone done business there, but in normal people's thinking, this matter can't be so simple to open up the situation, right? Moreover, the home game console market in the United States has been developed for several years, how can there be such a large shipment?"

"Chen, I really didn't expect you to be able to keep a clear head when you heard the news," Oliver sighed, "at least in this regard, you are much better than me!"

"Now is not the time for self-criticism," Chen Dahe said, leaning against the window with a telephone set, and laughing, "if you can solve my doubts, I can give you a chance to earn tens of billions of dollars." ”

"Cut, it's still tens of billions," Oliver scoffed, "why don't you say hundreds of billions!"

Chen Dahe smiled silently, of course the hundreds of billions are his own, how can he give it to you!
