Chapter 239: The Coming Nintendo Strikes Back

When Danning heard Xu Qing's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then cheered, just now he was just joking with Xu Qing, but now he is very familiar with Xu Qing, and he usually jokes, but he didn't expect Xu Qing to really increase his salary.

No one in the workplace would refuse to raise their salary, let alone an annual salary of $100,000, and Denning was naturally very happy.

"Boss, I love you so much!" Danning opened his hands and made a hug gesture towards Xu Qing.

Xu Qing looked at Denning with disgust: "My sexual orientation is normal, if you are gay, I recommend you to go to Yak's Bar." ”

The two laughed for a while, they both sat on the sofa, denim made two cups of coffee, and after handing Xu Qing a cup, he picked up the coffee, took a few sips, and was inhaled by the heat of the coffee.

"Are you so thirsty?" Xu Qing looked at Danning speechlessly.

Danning sneered: "After coming to the company, I haven't drunk water yet, I still drink canned and bottled water first, well, boss, this is the first-day sales data of Honor Z1." ”

Danning said and handed the document to Xu Qing, then took out a can of bottled water from the bottled water box in a corner of the office, unscrewed the lid, and drank half of the can.

Xu Qing took the document and looked through it, which said that from 6 o'clock last night to 0 o'clock in the morning, the sales data of Honor Z1.

83,511 units, this is the first-day sales data of the Honor Z1.

This figure slightly exceeded Xu Qing's expectations, Xu Qing's original expectation was about 75,000 units.

When each of Xu Qing's important products is sold, Xu Qing will make his own sales forecast to see how much difference it is from the actual sales.

As Xu Qing's knowledge and other abilities have improved, Xu Qing's sales forecasts are now becoming more and more accurate.

Sales of more than 80,000 units on the first day were very good, and although the Sega SS sold 190,000 units on the first day, it achieved sales of 190,000 units due to reservations and the launch of the entire Japan market.

Another Sony PS sold more than 7,000 units on the first day, but the Sony PS only sold more than 7,000 units because it was only sold in Akihabara on the first day.

As far as Xu Qing knows, after the Sony PS was released in Japan, the sales volume reached hundreds of thousands of units.

No wonder there is a joy on the face of the denim, and this first-day sales can already be preliminarily concluded that the Honor Z1 was successful.

And the reputation of the Honor Z1 is also very good, most of them are praised.

Word of mouth, sales have both achieved good results, which is great.

Xu Qing put the document on the table and said to Denning: "Release the first-day sales data of the Honor Z1 to the official website, future community." ”

"Okay. Danning walked out of the office to carry out Xu Qing's order.

After more than a minute, Denning returned: "Boss, the sales data has been released. ”

"Hmm. Xu Qing nodded: "Today is Christmas, it should be a holiday, but everyone has to work overtime, before getting off work today, you send a red envelope of 200 US dollars to everyone in the company, you know what the red envelope is, right?"

"I know, I have a few Chinese friends, they have given a few red envelopes, and they also told me the story of the Spring Festival, and you also sent me a red envelope during the Spring Festival last year. Denning said with a smile.

"It's a bit too direct to send money directly, and Christmas in the United States is equivalent to the Spring Festival in China, so it's just right to send money in the form of red envelopes. Xu Qing explained.

After chatting with Danning, Xu Qing left the Glory Group and went back to the villa directly, and several of Xu Qing's other companies were on vacation.

Sophia doesn't have to go to work today, he and Sophia are going to have a romance.

Walking out of the Glory Group, Xu Qing rubbed his hands, the weather was a little cold, and he looked up at the sky, and there were a few inky black clouds floating in the sky.

San Francisco has a Mediterranean climate and almost no snow in winter, and in Xu Qing's memory, he has only seen snow a few times in San Francisco.

Although it doesn't snow much, it often rains, Xu Qing feels that rain in winter is more troublesome than snow, and you can have snowball fights when it snows, play romantic, and it's better to stay at home when it rains.

Today's weather forecast says that it will be cloudy, and I hope that the often inaccurate weather forecast will be accurate once today, and he will have to go to romance with Sophia.

Xu Qing returned to the villa and went to San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf with Sophia.

Contrary to Xu Qing's happy mood, Minoru Arakawa's mood is terrible!

The office of the president of Nintendo North America, Minoru Arakawa and several vice presidents, senior directors are in a meeting.

"You've all seen the first-day sales data of the Honor Z1, right?" Minoru Arakawa looked at the people sitting around him, his face gloomy.

These people hurriedly replied that they had just released the first-day sales of the Glory Z1 on the official website and future community of the Glory Group, and they saw it as soon as possible.

It can't be said that they reacted quickly, but since the release of the Honor Z1 at 6 o'clock last night, they have been paying attention to the first-day sales of the Honor Z1.

"Do you have anything to say?" said Arakawa with a blank expression.

Several people looked at each other, and finally one of the highest-ranking vice presidents answered: "The Honor Z1 sold 80,000 units on the first day, and it is likely that it will sell more than 10 million units in the United States in the coming year." ”

"Do you know what the 10 million sales of the Honor Z1 mean to Nintendo?" said Minoru Arakawa, still expressionless.

"Our market share is seized by Honor Group. The vice president replied cautiously.

"How much do you think you'll be preempted?"

"At least 17 percent. ”

Minoru Arakawa was silent for more than half a minute, and suddenly said: "You are all veterans who have worked in the game industry for more than ten or decades, and you all know the development potential of the Honor Z1 very well.

I don't need to say much about its threat to Nintendo, now that the Honor Z1 has only been on sale for one day, we still have a chance to remedy it, we have to fight back, and we want Xu Qing to know that Nintendo's authority cannot be provoked!

Now we have to start acting, and this is what you need to do, and do it well, otherwise the consequences will be serious.

Before today's meeting, President Pu Yamauchi called and severely rebuked Nintendo of North America, telling me that if the Honor Z1 sells more than 10 million units in the United States, we will all roll back to Japan. ”

When these people heard the name, they immediately became very nervous, and Yamauchi Pu was at the helm of Nintendo for decades, personally turning a family workshop into the global gaming powerhouse with assets of tens of billions of dollars today.

The prestige of Yamauchi Pu, no Nintendo employee will not be afraid, even if they are in the United States, the mountain is far away, and the mountain is still very nervous when they hear the name of Yamauchi Pu.

Especially Minoru Arakawa's sentence of finally going back to Japan, it almost scared them to death, once they really rolled back to Japan, the end would be absolutely miserable.

Minoru Arakawa looked at the expressions of these people, sent the document to them, and then waved his hand: "Okay, I won't say anything more, and the meeting will be dismissed." ”

After these people left, Minoru Arakawa leaned back on the sofa with his eyes closed, what he said to these people just now to go back to Japan was a relatively light word, and Yamauchi Pu said more harsh words on the phone.

Nintendo is in a bad situation right now, Sega SS and Sony PS are aggressively grabbing Nintendo's share in Japan, and Nintendo has little to fight back.

Now that the Honor Z1 has been released, and the first-day sales figures are excellent, it is likely to become a classic handheld, and if no measures are taken, Nintendo of America will take the share by the Honor Group.

Japan, the United States, and possibly Europe, and Asia have taken share of the market by Sony, Sega, and Honor Group.

By that time, Nintendo's situation was even worse.

There must be no such situation!

On the Japanese side, Nintendo's head office will deal with it, and on the American side, Nintendo of North America will be responsible for the situation.

Fight back, start today!
