567. Big Sell
August 10th, the weather, fine. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the past, on this day, Zhou Maomao had to sleep until he woke up naturally, but this weekend was different, it was only seven o'clock in the morning, and he was woken up by the alarm clock.
The alarm clock is his own time, not that he suddenly realizes the preciousness of time, but that today is very important to him!
Zhou Maomao, who has to sit for a long time even if he gets up on weekdays, was woken up by the alarm clock today, squinted his eyes and got out of bed, and then subconsciously walked into the bathroom to solve personal hygiene problems, and then under the stimulation of a handful of cold water on his face, he really woke up.
Then his movements accelerated again, washed his face with cold water and brushed his teeth directly, and he even omitted the process of wiping moisturizer and moisturizing lotion this time.
In addition to personal hygiene problems, Zhou Maomao changed his clothes and rushed out of the door amid the nagging of his mother complaining that he didn't eat breakfast.
"Wait, wait a minute!!" At the bus stop, Zhou Maomao panted and boarded the No. 76 bus that was just about to start, and after getting on the bus and swiping the card, he looked at the watch on his wrist for the first time and breathed a sigh of relief.
When he passed by the newsstand just now, he was delayed for some time because he was waiting for a game newspaper, but he didn't expect to almost miss the bus at this stop, you must know that this 76 road takes 20 minutes to get a trip, if he is 20 minutes late, it may delay him for a longer time, which is definitely a terrible thing for Zhou Maomao.
There weren't many people on the bus in the morning, so when Zhou Maomao got on the bus, there were still a few vacant seats in the back, he looked at it, and finally chose to sit down next to a boy who looked quite refreshing and was about twenty years old.
When Zhou Maomao sat down, the boy next to him glanced at him.
At first, Zhou Maomao didn't pay much attention, but after five minutes, Zhou Maomao always felt that the boy next to him was looking at him, which made him a little unhappy.
If only I was a beauty, everyone would take the handle, and if I look at myself so often, I won't have any special love, right?
Thinking of this, Zhou Maomao couldn't help but shudder, the hairs on his body stood up, and the other party's refreshing and sunny appearance also became a little bearable in his eyes, thinking of this, his ass also moved, even if he could only sit on half a chair, he didn't want to get close to the boy next to him.
But Zhou Maomao's actions did not make the boy next to him flinch, but the other party took the initiative to speak.
"Classmate, you're also going to the big world of electronics, right?"
"How do you know?"
Zhou Maomao, who was accosted, was stunned, and the chill in his heart was gone, but he asked curiously, until the boy next to him pointed to the game newspaper in his hand, Zhou Maomao was suddenly stunned, it turned out that the other party was not looking at himself, but the game newspaper in his hand.
Then I really thought about it a lot, Zhou Maomao was comfortable, and I didn't need to make half a chair, after all, it was uncomfortable.
"Listen to you, you are also going to the electronic world?" Zhou Maomao asked.
"Yes, there is a new game released today, and I want to buy genuine support!" the boy admitted with a smile, and then did not forget to introduce himself: "My name is Yu Jian." ”
"Hello, my name is Zhou Maomao. Zhou Maomao also introduced himself when he heard it, but when he thought of the other party talking about the new game, he couldn't help but ask with some surprise: "Should you also buy "The Legend of the New Martial Arts Heroes"?"
"Coincidentally, that's exactly what I wanted to ask you. Zhou Maomao's words made Yu Jian's eyes light up.
found that the other party was a supporter of "The Legend of the New Martial Arts Heroes" like himself, and the relationship between the two was instantly closer, and the conversation would be nostalgic for the old version of "The Legend of the Martial Arts Heroes", and then talk about the expectations of the new version of "The Legend of the New Martial Arts Heroes", and when the two got off the bus in the electronic world, they were already a pair of good friends.
After getting out of the car, the two hurriedly quickened their pace and ran towards the electronic world.
There is a reason why they are in such a hurry, this time in order to give back to the fans of "The Legend of Martial Arts", the main creators of martial arts led by Xu Canglong will be in the first batch of 5,000 sets of deluxe edition games on sale, including a group photo of themselves and the entire team of Q version of the anime plus everyone's autographs.
For this matter, Mr. Xu Canglong also ridiculed himself on the blog, and after completing this task, he estimated that he could get the achievement title of 'Wonderful Pen and Flower' in the game, and he was full of calligraphy.
And 5,000 sets seems to be a lot, but if it is divided from all over the country, it is obviously not enough.
Zhou Maomao and Yu Jian are located in a city that is not developed in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, but a small city in the third tier, and the share is even less, the two have inquired before, and the merchants selling in the electronic world have entered a total of fifty sets of signed luxury editions this time, if it is too late, it is estimated that there will be no eight achievements.
In their opinion, there must be a lot of people who like this game, and the deluxe version is so collectible, there will definitely be a situation where there are more wolves and less meat.
Zhou Maomao and Yu Jian's worries were not nonsense, and when the two of them, who thought they had come out early enough, arrived at the game store for sale, they found that although the store had not yet opened, a group of people had already gathered at the door, and it seemed that there were dozens of them, and the two of them suddenly chuckled in their hearts.
Although Liu Haoran is the owner of a game store, his main income on weekdays is actually selling various accessories for computers, and the good sales of games are also some foreign masterpieces, as for domestic game works, there have been fewer and fewer in the past two years, one is that there are fewer people who buy them, and the other is that the game companies that do it have closed down.
The Chinese stand-alone game market has obviously entered the Great Depression period, not to mention insiders like Liu Haoran, even ordinary gamers can see it.
But not long ago, Liu Haoran did something that made him feel very entangled, he actually bought a full fifty deluxe editions plus two hundred ordinary editions for a new domestic game, as well as five hundred digital activation codes.
The deluxe version is worth three hundred and ninety-nine yuan, and they will be cheaper to buy, but the five deluxe versions added together also cost him nearly fifteen thousand yuan, while the ordinary version is priced at sixty-nine yuan, he bought two hundred, which is another small 10,000 out, and the last five digital activation codes also cost him more than 10,000 yuan, and several things together are close to 40,000 yuan.
This is almost emptying all the liquidity in his small store, and if this batch of goods cannot be sold, then he is afraid that he will close the store directly.
Originally, Liu Haoran was not such an impulsive person, but sometimes there is an emotion called feelings, which can make people unable to restrain their inner thoughts.
And Liu Haoran is like this, as a man who has experienced the glory of Huaxia stand-alone games, he has a lot of feelings in his heart, and this time he spent money to buy "The Legend of the New Martial Arts Heroes", which is one of the biggest feelings in his heart.
When he first came into contact with this game, he was instantly attracted by the content of this game, pure martial arts style, all-encompassing knowledge points, super high degree of freedom, a combination of novel RPG and cultivation, in short, there are a lot of places to play, this game can even be said to have fulfilled his dream of a hero.
It's a pity that the game ended too hastily, and later he learned when he listened to other people's chatter that the "Legend of the Martial Arts Heroes" he played was not the final finished product, but a half-finished game that cut most of the plot because of the budget.
This is also why after hearing that "The Legend of the New Martial Arts Heroes" was going to be reset, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep the whole time, and when "The Legend of the New Martial Arts Heroes" was about to be released, he couldn't suppress his brain fever and suddenly hollowed out all his family funds to support this game.
But when the enthusiasm cooled down, he did regret it a little.
Feelings are feelings, reality is reality, he is no longer the student who lives by his family, now he has a wife and children, especially the child has only been born recently, there are too many places to use money.
If these game disks are smashed in his hands, he will probably not be able to solve the problem when he goes home and kneel on the washboard, and it is estimated that eighty percent of them may be kicked out of the house by his daughter-in-law.
Although he regretted his decision to chop his hands, after the game arrived at the store, he still unpacked and played it as soon as possible.
This game is a night, hiding in his own shop, Liu Haoran is completely immersed in the world of the game.
"The Legend of the New Martial Arts Heroes" made him not disappointed at all, with a lot of refined graphics, familiar soundtracks, richer plots and characters, and a lot more martial arts than the original.
Played for a night, if it was the original game, Liu Haoran would have cleared the customs a long time ago, but in the face of this reset new game, Liu Haoran felt that he should not even finish half of the plot, on the one hand, the game added many branches, he was not familiar with the first time he played, and wasted some time, on the other hand, the content was really expanded too much, and the game time was definitely much longer than the original.
"Bang bang!" suddenly a knock on the door startled Liu Haoran, who was playing games in the store.
"Who!"
"Boss, open the door, it's ten past eight. The man outside shouted.
Liu Haoran was surprised to find that he had been playing for so long, and then looked up at the clock on the wall, wasn't it eight o'clock?
Although the game is fun, but the business is also important, he has long passed the age of uncontrolled play, and said to the person outside the door, "Wait a minute", and then rushed back to the house to save a file, and he didn't even bother to wash his face, and immediately opened the door of the store, ready to welcome customers.
But when he opened the door, he was shocked by the scene outside the door.
He thought there were only one or two customers waiting outside, but when he opened the door, he found that there were a bunch of people surrounding his small shop outside.
The people who came to buy the game are also very qualified, and they consciously lined up in a line, Liu Haoran jumped like a little rabbit in his heart, looking at these dozens of people, he suddenly felt that his previous entanglement was really a little redundant, there were so many people to queue up, and there was only one new game for him today, so what are they here to buy, naturally needless to say.
Sure enough, the first boy to enter the store opened his mouth and asked if there was a deluxe version of "The Legend of the New Martial Arts Heroes".
Liu Haoran hurriedly nodded and said yes, and asked him how many sets he wanted.
"One set is fine. The boy took out 400 yuan and handed it to Liu Haoran, as a student, although he had the heart to buy two more sets, but he had more than enough money to do.
Liu Haoran didn't care about this, he took the money happily, and then immediately took a set of the deluxe version of "The Legend of the New Martial Arts Heroes" to him.
"The peripherals and signatures that come with it are in the box, don't be too violent when you open the box, there is a humanized groove here, you can take out the contents directly from here. Liu Haoran didn't forget to tell the boy when he handed the game box, and these words were also told to him by the manufacturer when he bought the goods.
"Good. The boy took the box, his expression was a little excited, he casually agreed to a few words and immediately hurried away, Liu Haoran didn't have to guess to know, he must have taken the game home to play, and he was the same before.
The next people are also coming for the deluxe version of "The Legend of the New Martial Arts Heroes", the more Liu Haoran sells, the more surprised, on the one hand, he suddenly found that there are so many people who like this game as much as him, on the other hand, this sales speed, this is only half a day, forty-nine sets of deluxe editions are not left, if it weren't for his emotional support, the fiftieth set that has been opened in his hand will also be taken away at the original price.
As for the ordinary version, dozens of sets were also sold, and the digital version sold nearly 200 units, and the net income on this day exceeded 10,000 yuan, which was higher than his previous month's income.
"Don't worry about it this time, not only will my wife not beat me, but she will definitely cook a big meal to praise me!"
And Liu Haoran is as happy as Heluo Studio.
In total, except for the 5,000 units of the Deluxe Edition and the 100,000 units of the Ordinary Edition, all of them have been booked for the Deluxe Edition, while the Ordinary Edition is only booked out of less than 50,000 units.
Xu Canglong was very nervous on the day of the sale, after all, this year, Huaxia stand-alone games can sell 100,000 sets, only "Fairy Sword" is a brand, although he is of course also very powerful, but after all, after five or six years, how influential the signboard of "The Legend of Martial Arts" can be, he doesn't count in his heart.
However, his apprehensive mood disappeared in an instant with a phone call to replenish the stock at noon, and was replaced by excitement from the bottom of his heart.
This call was from a dealer in Mingzhu City, Xu Canglong clearly remembered that he had bought a total of 300 sets of luxury editions and 2,500 sets of ordinary editions, these quantities in Xu Canglong's opinion can be sold for a long time, but on the phone, the dealer opened his mouth to replenish the stock.
