29. Mass Production Plans
Apliu Street. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info new entrepreneurial game hall.
Following Lin Qi, Rong Jian came to the game hall for the first time.
Visiting the game hall for the first time in his life made Yung Jian feel novel, but the smell of smoke in the room and the old boy made him frown.
"Brother D, it's fun to play with squares, let's play jerking off!"
"If you want to jerk off, take off your pants by yourself, and Lao Tzu will not accompany you. ”
"Cut, spoiled!"
"Play with your little bee!"
A young man with a cigarette in his mouth and a scar on his face is nervously and engrossively playing a game in front of a "Chinese Cube" arcade machine. His skills were not very good, and he died twice after about ten minutes of playing, and had to put in new coins and start over.
In the game hall, there are many people who like to play "Chinese Cube", this classic game is about the same popularity as shooting games such as "Little Bee" and "Space Invaders", but the player base is different.
Some players only like the thrill of "Little Bees" and "Space Invaders".
There are also some people who like to play "Chinese Cubes" alone to kill time.
Of course, most of the people who play the game are teenagers, and there are quite a few gang members.
Most of these gang members smoke, filling the arcade with smoke.
Hong Kong's market itself is inseparable from gangs.
On average, one out of every five citizens is a gang member. Not all gang members sell drugs, lend usury, force good people to prostitution, and fight for territory.
In fact, the vast majority of gang members only do legal business, and they only participate in gangs for the purpose of holding a group and giving a little money to the gang, so that when they encounter something, they can have a community to help them get ahead.
Originally, these gang members would definitely be blushing when they saw the profits of the game hall.
However, Lin Qi strengthened the security forces, not only did the Rong family officially transfer those veterans who had killed people in the Vietnam War to the new start-up company. In addition, these veterans still have some comrades-in-arms in Hong Kong, and many of their comrades-in-arms have become big circle gangs that are afraid of Hong Kong gangs. Lin Qi would not want those big circle gangs with criminal records, but those veterans who had just come to Hong Kong, ate at the bottom, had not fallen too deep, and did not leave a criminal record, Lin Qi recruited more than 20 people through the channels of the Rong family.
With these ruthless people in charge, the gang members are also bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and they dare not deliberately make trouble.
Of course, the game hall is open for business after all, and there are not many rules - no drugs, no fighting, no killing. Other illegal things are also not allowed to be done on the territory of the new business.
But smoking, you can't help it. There is no legal rule that prohibits smoking in the arcade.
If you really don't even allow smoking, then at least half of the customers of the new startup arcade will be lost!
Rong Jian looked at the more than 20 machines in the game hall, and every few minutes or more, under the rules of the game, the game died, and the players had to continue to throw coins. Every coin is a dollar.
The sound of tinkling coins is so pleasant.
An average hour can cost players at least a few hundred dollars.
Although, players complained again and again, secretly scolding the game machine for being expensive, however, they will soon be ridiculed for their low technical level, and if the level is high, they can naturally play for a longer time.
"Brother D, can you let this gentleman experience it?" Lin Qi smiled and patted the gang member on the shoulder, "I'll let you do it in a few minutes!"
Brother D hesitated for a long time and wanted to scold.
But there were two security guards standing next to Lin Qi, in addition. Lin Qi played two packs of Marlboro cigarettes and gave him enough face. Therefore, Brother D's expression softened, and he gave up the machine in a familiar manner.
Rong Jian clumsily put in coins, and then, under Lin Qi's demonstration, he quickly began to get started, and quickly felt the magic of "Chinese Cube".
Just the simple elimination of a row of squares can give you a great sense of accomplishment. As the blocks fell faster and faster, more and more mistakes were made, and in less than two minutes, Rong Jian sighed regretfully: "Dead!"
"It's too vegetable! The first time I played, I played at least to the third level! I played for about 5 minutes!" Brother D felt a sense of IQ superiority.
Rong Jian was very excited, and died in a few minutes, which means that a machine earns a dollar in a few minutes. Of course, the player's skill level increases, and the time may be improved. But even if the average player can play for 10 minutes for one dollar, one "Chinese Cube" can earn 6 yuan for an hour. If you are open for 15 hours a day, you can earn 105 yuan.
A machine has a revenue of 3,000 yuan a month, and it can earn back 10,000 yuan in about three months. And if the machine is sold for 10,000 yuan, it must have a market prospect.
Of course...... It is best to operate the company's own game hall, which can maximize the benefits in the case of low game console production capacity.
Due to the fact that "Chinese Cube" is mainly a single-player mode, due to the increase in skilled players, the ability to absorb gold is far less than that of machines with two-player mode such as "Little Bee" and "Space Invaders".
Of course, by increasing the difficulty of the game, the ability to absorb gold will definitely be enhanced. However, the Malicious Enhancement difficulty may be disgusting to players.
Therefore, Lin Qi plans to modify the game to "easy difficulty", "normal difficulty", "advanced difficulty", "hell difficulty" and other modes, so that players can choose for themselves.
In simple mode, the player only has one life, and the game ends when they die. The more difficult mode adds one life to each difficulty, making the game more challenging.
"How about this game?" asked Lin Qi.
"Do you still need to ask?" Rong Jian pointed to the machines in the game hall, "Every one of them is full, it must be a super money-making weapon!"
Seeing the booming business of the game hall, Rong Jian is naturally full of confidence and interest in OEM production of game consoles!
……
After seeing the popularity of the game industry, Rong Jian naturally dispelled his worries and was completely willing to be the OEM manager under Lin Qi.
After the decision was made to produce arcade machines, the business of the Aika Electronics Factory was also reorganized.
A part of the skilled skilled workers, let them transform, under the guidance of the technicians of the new start-up electronics company, learn to solder the circuit boards of the arcade.
Some workers with average skills, ask for their opinions, and if someone is willing to go to the mainland, they can be sent to the Xinai Electronics Factory in Beijing and let them be grassroots managers. Those who are unwilling to go to the mainland are asked to transform their business personnel, go out to pull orders, and promote products.
After the earth-shaking rectification, the low-end business of electronic calculators and electronic watches, Aika Electronics Factory has given up, and the production equipment and business have been taken over by the joint venture factory in Beijing.
Hong Kong's Aika Electronics Factory is engaged in arcade OEM business with higher gross profit margin.
"Brother Jian, in April, this time will let you adapt!" Lin Qi said, "Within this month, you can produce 20 arcade machines." In May, at least 20 units will be produced per day, and in June, on the basis of May, at least doubled! After that, it is according to the market situation, recruit more personnel, gradually introduce more equipment, and upgrade the factory! Pay attention to the flexible production of the foundry, that is, the machine you introduce, should not be special, but general equipment. It is ready to transform and produce other products. Instead of a transformation, all the machinery and equipment are scrapped and useless. Only if any product can be foundry, can we do a good foundry!"
Rong Jian nodded and said, "No matter how difficult it is, you have to complete the task!"
"It's not a task, it's not a task!" Lin Qi said meaningfully, "Every arcade machine is money! One will give you at least 1,000 yuan in profit, and if you produce one less, you will lose 1,000! 10 units is 10,000 profits, and if you produce a few hundred less units a month, the profit of hundreds of thousands will be gone!"
Giving up the originally profitable business and switching to the production of arcade machines is also because the arcade machines are more profitable.
The production of electronic watches, the profit of a few cents a dollar for an electronic watch, completely depends on the exploitation of cheap labor, in order to make some hard-earned money. However, if you want to increase the number of workers, the number of workers will expand indefinitely, and the risk will increase dramatically!
Function calculator, foundry profits have risen to more than 60 yuan. The benefits created by the average worker's labor have increased at least tenfold.
As for the production of arcade machines, one OEM costs 1,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the profit of 14 function calculators. Once workers get used to this transition, productivity and output per capita will certainly far outweigh the function calculator.
This is the added value of higher technology and higher creativity!
The same is labor, the production of 1 yuan per profit of electronic watches, it takes 1000 to catch up with the profit of an arcade machine.
And the labor and cost of an arcade machine is definitely less than 1,000 electronic watches!
