Manhattan, New York.

New York is now the center of the global economy, which is not opposed by many people, China has not yet risen, and the economies of Tokyo, London, and Paris are not as good as New York.

And Manhattan is the economic center of New York, everyone agrees.

Because New York and Manhattan have a developed economy, most companies will set up their headquarters in New York or Manhattan, or a second headquarters, or the highest-level flagship store.

Especially for those brick-and-mortar sales companies, setting up a store in Manhattan can not only improve the style of the business, but also make huge profits.

Wright, the owner of the Wright game chain, is now sipping hot coffee in his office at the Wright flagship store in Manhattan.

Wright took his coffee and glanced out the window and whispered "damn weather"

Outside the window, it was snowing heavily in New York on Christmas, the snow on the streets was dozens of centimeters thick, and the snow had not been cleared up yet, and the two Christmas trees placed in front of the Wright flagship store were crushed by the heavy snow.

Wright is not only scolding the weather because the Christmas tree was crushed, but also because of this weather, many people stay at home to watch TV, surf the Internet, and not go out shopping.

If no one goes shopping, no one comes to buy things, and the business of the Wright flagship store is naturally poor.

Although there are many people in Manhattan, there are not a few people who come out to shop, but if it weren't for the heavy snowfall yesterday, there would be even more people shopping.

Originally, Wright was staying at his villa today and doing something he liked to do with his secretary, but yesterday he received a call from a vice president of Nintendo to visit him.

Wright really wanted to refuse, is it not good to stay at home in such a cold weather, why come out.

At this time, Wright thinks that he should stay home when it is cold, but complains that his customers stay at home and don't go out shopping.

But Wright couldn't refuse, Nintendo's strength was so high that he didn't know where to go, and most of the game consoles sold in his store were Nintendo, so he didn't have the courage to refuse.

Wright looked at his watch, and at 10:21, the meeting time agreed between the vice president of Nintendo and him was half past ten, and there were nine minutes left.

Wright took another sip of coffee to warm his body.

There was a knock on the door and the sound of his secretary outside, and the vice president of Nintendo came, and Wright hurriedly straightened his clothes and stood up to greet him.

"Mr. Hayashi, it's a pleasure to meet you. Wright smiled and shook hands with a short, middle-aged Japanese man.

Lin Tianye held Wright's hand and said apologetically, "I'm very sorry to disturb you." ”

The two sides exchanged politeness, and Wright asked the secretary to make two cups of coffee.

After Lin Tianye took a sip of coffee, he asked casually: "Mr. Wright, how is the business? After Nintendo announced a 7% discount the day before yesterday, did the sales get better?"

Wright muttered in his heart, is Lin Tianye here to investigate Nintendo's sales?

It is impossible, if it is only to investigate sales, how can Nintendo have a vice president come to the Wright store in person.

"It's not bad, Nintendo's products are selling well. Wright said in a vague tone.

scolded in his heart, what a ghost, the weather is cold, the sales are low, and there is not much improvement after the discount is announced.

Lin Tianye didn't know what Wright was thinking, thinking that the sales were really good, and he couldn't blame Lin Tianye for not knowing the sales of Wright's store.

The sales data obtained by Nintendo on December 26 mainly comes from official channels and franchise channels, and Nintendo cannot know their real sales in real time for a completely independent channel like Wright.

Because there are so many of these completely independent channels, Nintendo doesn't have the resources to ask them how they sell one by one.

Originally, a game chain as large as the Wright Store was named in Nintendo, and it would not be ignored, and they could have asked about sales as soon as possible.

But Wright, the owner of the Wright Store, is a strange man, and he will only tell Nintendo about the sales of Nintendo in the Wright Store on the last day of every month, and it will definitely not be advanced or delayed.

Wright is notoriously frequented for his bizarre behavior, and Nintendo is not good at forcing Wright to tell about Christmas sales.

Just about to carry out the second plan, Hayashi Tano, who is the vice president of Nintendo of North America, came to visit Wright in person.

"Mr. Wright, you've been selling Nintendo products for seven years!" Hayashi said.

"It's been 7 years, I remember in February 1988, I personally went to Nintendo in North America to talk about cooperation, I have to thank Nintendo, these 7 years have brought a lot of benefits to the Wright Store, I hope we can continue to cooperate in the future. ”

Wright didn't know what Lin Tianye meant, but he knew that it was right to say good things.

Lin Tianye smiled: "We are mutually beneficial, the Wright Store sells Nintendo's products, and at the same time, Nintendo will bring benefits." ”

The two exchanged business blows, and Lin Tianye said again: "Mr. Wright, I came to you this time to sign a new contract with you. ”

Wright was stunned, what does the new contract mean, is Nintendo going to adjust the share ratio?

Wright had a lot of questions in his mind, but his face was the same as usual, and he smiled: "What is the new contract?"

Lin Tianye took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Wright: "You take a look at the content of the new contract first, and if you have any questions, just ask." ”

Wright looked at the content of the contract carefully, the more he looked at it, the more unsightly his face became, and after reading it, Wright gently put the contract on the table, and said in an unhappy tone: "Mr. Hayashi Tianye, there are several clauses in the new contract that are too domineering, and it is impossible for Wright Store to agree." ”

"What are the terms?" Lin Tianye asked knowingly.

Wright held back his anger and said: "The Wright Store is only allowed to sell Nintendo's products, and you have to tell Nintendo the Wright Store's sales at any time, and the Wright Store can't agree to these two terms." ”

Lin Tianye said lightly: "Mr. Wright should see the share ratio of the new contract, the 25% share of the Wright store, which is a lot." ”

The share of a Nintendo game console is mainly divided by several channels, Nintendo shares 40%, hardware manufacturing companies share 20%, sales channels share 20%, and 20% are miscellaneous.

In the case of games, then the share of the hardware manufacturing company becomes the game development company, and the specific proportion changes slightly.

The Wright Store has increased by 5% from 20% to 25%, don't underestimate this 5%, Nintendo's products are now very popular, and with a 5% increase, the Wright Store may have millions of dollars more revenue per year.

Wright was tempted by the 25 percent cut, but Wright couldn't accept those two terms.

It's a bit better to report sales to Nintendo at any time, and only sell Nintendo products. Wright was completely unacceptable.

There are many reasons for this, but the main one is that Wright doesn't want to tie the fate of the Wright Store entirely to Nintendo.
