Chapter 1590 - Go On!
Chinese people are accustomed to celebrating the Spring Festival.
Even these people in Xiangjiang, after Christmas and the National New Year, will continue to celebrate the Spring Festival lively, and there is no obstacle at all.
So between the end of December and February every year, it is actually the peak sales season for New Year's goods.
In the previous life, the major online shopping platforms usually regarded this time period as the last shopping carnival of the year, and the revenue was quite high.
Even if there is no online shopping platform now, vegetables, meat, fruits and vegetables, various gold and silver jewelry, and various other New Year's goods during the Chinese New Year are also selling very well.
Of course, it's the kids who love the holidays the most.
As long as they have not yet stepped into society and do not have a job to earn money, they can be collectively referred to as children - including college students.
New Year's Day and the Spring Festival are holidays, and there are no online games in this era, and there is time to watch TV.
Under normal circumstances, elementary school students naturally play in parks and playgrounds near their homes, and boys who are slightly older choose to play games in the game hall.
Don't look at the economic failure of Xiangjiang in the past two years, the business of the game hall has not been affected much.
Those exciting and fun video games have also become a haven for many people to escape from reality, and even many office workers have to call friends to play, not to mention students who are not strong in self-control.
Under the super good business, the game halls in Xiangjiang have skyrocketed from more than 100 at the beginning to more than 300 now.
The size of each house varies, and the large game hall can be thousands of square feet, with hundreds of machines and thousands of people pouring into the game hall.
The small game hall is also in the shop on the street, and there are five or six on each side of the narrow passage, and if there are too many people entering, you can raise your hand to touch people, and it is crowded.
Especially around the Spring Festival, everyone has plenty of money for the New Year, so contributing some to the game hall is also something that many people are willing to do.
Of course, not everyone likes to be lively.
At least as many boys go to the arcade like to sit at home, in their own beds, and play games with Gameboy handhelds.
Compared to when it was first released in May last year, the variety of games on handheld has increased a lot.
In addition to the three ace games of "Xiangjiang Cube", "Super Mario Bros.", and "Contra", since last year, Kirin Games has released three games in one go.
Mahjong
Thunder and Lightning
Ranch Story
The first "Mahjong", as its name suggests, is to play mahjong.
According to the different customs in different places, there are a total of five versions, and you can choose the one you like to buy.
Mahjong is the quintessence of China, both men and women and young people like it, whenever the New Year's Festival, there is no table of mahjong at home, always feel that it is not lively enough.
Now, with the game boy, you can play mahjong alone while sitting at home.
And this is not just children, even the elderly, as long as they are familiar with the rules of the game, they can still hold it and play hard.
Especially for those old people who have nothing to do at home, and those who are inconvenient to move, the game "Mahjong" is a good pastime to accompany them.
Therefore, the game cartridge of "Mahjong" sold 10 million copies in half a year, which is completely reasonable.
Even in the distant Europe and the United States, it is a bestseller, and it has further boosted the sales of game kid handhelds.
The second "Thunderbolt", when it comes to its name, many people may not be very clear.
But when it comes to its contents, many people will suddenly understand.
In fact, "Thunderbolt" is a space plane combat game.
The player controls a plane and constantly passes through the enemy blockade to break through the king's lair level by level - a strategy game that many boys have played on arcades and handhelds.
The dozens of versions derived from this are even more varied and fascinating.
It's just that this "Thunderbolt" is really the originator of the space plane game.
Flexibly control the plane, dodge the bullets full of screens, and at the same time pick up various treasures, increase your attack ability, and advance step by step to victory...... This feeling is a bit similar to Contra, but it is more exciting.
Fighting in the environment of space also seems more and more magnificent, and there is a surging excitement in my heart.
With the support of many hot-blooded teenagers, "Thunderbolt" released 7 million boxes of game cartridges in four months, and it is also a best-seller.
Game Kid's game cartridges don't come cheap.
In addition to the $120 per game kid console, a box of game cartridges costs $20.
Aside from the original "Diamonds", "Super Mario Bros.", and "Contra", if you want to play one more game, you have to pay $20.
This price is not cheap anywhere.
But if you don't buy it, you'll have to play it in the arcade, and it's not your own.
I bought the cassette and played it as many times as I wanted.
In this way, it is not so expensive.
The sales of Kylin Games' two games on the game kid handheld alone exceeded 17 million boxes, equivalent to 340 million US dollars, which is much more than Microsoft's Windows system!
But that's not Kirin Games' most profitable handheld game.
The next "Ranch Story", although it has only been launched for 3 months, has already exceeded 20 million boxes, which is simply shocking to the people of Kirin Games.
If it weren't for the entrustment of 7 game cartridge companies in Japan and this to customize and rush production, the speed of shipment would not be as fast as the speed of sales.
Like the previous two games, "Ranch Story" is naturally the idea given by Yin Jun.
In fact, it is a simulated life raising game, and there are many similarities with the Happy Ranch and Happy Farm that became popular all over the country around 2010.
The great thing about "Ranch Story" is that its electronic chip can simulate a 24-hour day, dividing the ranch into several time periods to operate, so that gamers can plant, breed, and finally get a bumper harvest at different times.
Then, the plants and animals in the chip have their own language, and they will have a variety of different expressions according to the performance of their owners, making players feel as if they are facing real animals and psychic plants.
Think about Happy Ranch and Happy Farm, which can be planted, stolen, and farmed for all ages...... This is still after 2010, when computers and all kinds of information were developed!
So now in 1984, such a novel and growing game is completely irresistible to gamers.
The media is also paying attention to this popular game.
One-third of the people who bought this game cartridge were children aged 7-15, one-third were young people aged 15-22, and the remaining one-third were middle-aged people aged 40-60.
Especially women, whether they are girls, adult white-collar workers, or mother-in-law-level women, they are fascinated by the "Ranch Story" as soon as they play.
During the New Year, there are the most people who play "Ranch Story" with a game kid!
The comparison between girls is actually more powerful than boys, they are generally friends around them, they should have them, if anyone doesn't, it's like falling behind.
And "Ranch Story" has no age and nationality restrictions at all, everyone can get started as soon as they play, and they don't want to put it down when they play, they think about it every day.
Two-thirds of the players are women, and that's how it came about.
The sales of 20 million boxes also came from this.
With the game cassette of "Ranch Story" alone, Kirin Games has generated a turnover of $400 million.
In addition, the sales of game kid consoles have also been driven.
Since its launch in May last year, in less than a year, a total of 40 million units have been sold, and sales have reached a terrifying $4.8 billion!
In this money, there are naturally patent fees from companies such as Nintendo and Namco, as well as production costs and marketing expenses...... Wait a minute.
However, even if the cost is calculated, at least half of the net profit is made.
If it weren't for the fact that several game cartridges would continue to be ordered, the game boy console would also have to increase production, and the headquarters of Kirin Games in Osaka was still under construction, the money would have been acquired on the land side of Xiangjiang.
However, this also has the effect of stabilizing the morale of the military.
It will let the companies of the Kirin series see that at least on the side of the game company, there is a new way of making money, and there is a strong support.
Even if the debt of Kylin Group exceeds 12.6 billion US dollars, Kylin Games can rely on its own efforts to replace all debts in 5 years.
You know, Kylin Games isn't just about these games.
Yin Jun told them all the games he knew about kid games at once.
Some are very detailed, while others are just a few simple descriptions.
But after more than three years of training, the Kirin Game Company is no longer Wuxia Amon, not to mention that after they returned to Japan, they have recruited a large number of game company talents, and the reserves are very rich.
The current three games are the performance of their accumulation.
In Japan's financial institutions, this Kirin game company attaches great importance to it.
Mitsubishi Financial Group, Sumitomo Banking Corporation, Mitsui Bank, etc., have all rated Kirin Games to a high degree and adjusted its credit rating to the highest level.
So far, there are no more than 30 highest-level clubs in Japan, and almost all of them are 100-year-old stores.
In the game industry, Nintendo is only a level, and only Kirin Games can be compared to those top clubs.
As for the valuation given to Kirin Games, the highest Japanese Hokkaido Bank gave a valuation of 20 billion US dollars.
To put it in the middle, Kylin Games is also worth $15 billion.
Although it is not enough to say that Kirin Games can sell for $15 billion, it also represents its position in the hearts of banks.
If Kylin Games wants to take out a loan, it will definitely get a lot of preferential treatment.
Of course, if the Kirin Group collapses, Kylin Game Company, like Kylin Culture, must be the first high-quality wealth to be robbed.
In the past, Nintendo was already good enough, accounting for most of the game industry, with a turnover of more than billions of dollars a year, which was the first in Japan, and almost as long as the American Arida Electronics Company.
But what I didn't expect was that there was a mountain and a mountain high.
Yin Jun's Kirin Game Company has broken Nintendo's monopoly and become the world's No. 1 just by making a few games and making a handheld handheld - Game Kid, and even overtook Arida.
So people have to sigh, a genius is a genius, and Yin Jun is really a young man favored by God.
From Yin Jun's body, people can decipher a message.
The inspiration of the mind is priceless!
Often a casual inspiration can create a career.
It's like this game kid who was inspired by Nintendo's handheld and upgraded and innovated and became popular all over the world!!
