Chapter 51: Prelude

The advent of Street Fighter meant the emergence of a new genre of games, and the launch of Tales of the Hungry Wolf meant that this new genre became popular.

With the general trend in place, Takahashi felt no need to continue to pay attention.

He devoted most of his energy to the U.S. branch.

Snowflakes fall in California in winter, and many families drive pickup trucks to transport pine trees back from distant forests and put them in front of their homes to dress up as Christmas trees.

Nick wore a pair of calfskin gloves, exhaled white air, and his face was quite ruddy.

The sales of Tetris handheld consoles in the United States are quite good, and American children who have not seen it can be said that they are a generation behind in the experience of video game consoles compared to Japanese children of the same age.

Although the headquarters of Wanhu did not ask for the sales task of the North American branch, it had more than 300,000 units sold in the last month of Black Friday, which is already a good sign.

The China branch, especially the North American branch, has expanded its production capacity, and when the warehousing and logistics system reached its limit, a total of more than 2 million Tetris machines were delivered to North America.

To achieve such a high production capacity is definitely a test for the production department of 10,000 households.

Decades later, capacity is still an issue for mobile phone makers.

Wanhu was able to complete the replication and expansion of the production line in such a short period of time, as well as the climb of production capacity. Not only does it depend on the joint efforts of all 10,000 employees, but also the help of many experts and professors.

Of course, there is no rice called (harmony) chicken that does not come. Wanhu was able to gather so many professional manpower, or it relied on Wanhu's strong financial resources in China.

The high profits of video games have made Wanhu what it is today, and Wanhu's deep pockets have accelerated this process.

Although all this is difficult, it is as difficult as killing a cow with your bare hands in the forest on this winter day. However, in the eyes of those who don't know, in the eyes of those small players in the United States, Wanhu is a mysterious enterprise. A company that can make its products all over the United States in a short period of time.

Even now, many children have developed a belief in Wanhu and feel that Wanhu's game handheld is the best handheld in the world.

Although, Wanhu's gaming handheld cannot be guaranteed from all angles, this handheld uses the latest technology. The first is that thousands of households in China cannot get the latest technology, and the second is that even if there is the latest technology, the vast majority of players cannot afford to build the machine.

However, the LEDs on the handheld of 10,000 households alone can blow the little fans of 10,000 households for a year. Because the same kind of handheld, whether it is really only the size of the palm of the hand, or larger than the schoolbag, in short, there is no such LED light source.

Even, most handhelds do not have a light source, even if there are occasionally one or two handhelds with a light source, its light source is also from high-voltage bulbs.

Not to mention the location occupied by such a bulb, it also consumes extremely electricity, so it can be said that it is just a gimmick, basically useless.

Although Wanhu's copywriting did not write these things, the small players have regarded Wanhu as a company with advanced technology and practicality.

Nick drove all the malls throughout California until he confirmed that all of the partner malls had 10,000 Tetris handhelds, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Black Friday is almost all about a time for a shopping spree for almost all Americans.

Although there are no zombie games yet, people rushing to the mall at midnight on Black Friday are like zombies besieging the city.

People who don't know whether it's the police or security guards stand up as a human wall inside the disaster relief facility to prevent anyone from trying to "break in".

It wasn't until 12 o'clock at midnight that the minute hand at the entrance of the supermarket returned to its position and the gate was opened.

People waiting to shop are pouring into the mall like a flood and locusts are dancing wildly.

Almost all major shopping malls are playing out such a scene. Although this is a great pressure for the various facilities of the mall.

However, the shopping spree of Black Friday is what all merchants expect.

There are many advantages to creating such a shopping spree, one is that it can greatly increase sales, and even some brands of goods, fifty or sixty percent of the total sales of the year, are completed on the night of Black Friday.

The second is that at such a time when everyone is crazy to buy goods, a lot of irrational consumption can be born.

In this process, many products that are not usually bought, or not purchased in sufficient quantities, will have a gratifying increase in sales in the process.

These two reasons are also the reasons why many manufacturers want to enter shopping malls and supermarkets.

However, because of the huge sales that Black Friday means. The fees in the malls are also unusually high.

For example, during the Black Friday period, nearly 15 percent of the sales generated by the "Tetris" handheld of 10,000 households will be sent to shopping malls.

You must know that the profit share of the "Tetris" handheld machine of 10,000 normal households to merchants is about 10%.

Although this score is not high, although the price of the Tetris handheld is cheap, it is not cheap to be honest.

The cost of producing a Tetris handheld computer in China is about half of the selling price, plus the transportation cost and the share of the shopping mall, and in the end, the profit left by 10,000 households is only about 20%.

It can be said that during Black Friday, the profit of 10,000 households' "Tetris" handheld was only about 10%.

But even so, if the more than 2 million Tetris handheld computers prepared by 10,000 households can be sold during the Christmas period.

It is also a huge benefit for 10,000 households.

When did Nintendo open up its first market in North America? It's when a simple toy like Super Weird Hand sells two million sets during Christmas.

No accumulation of steps can lead to thousands of miles.

If there were no prerequisites, Nintendo would have made toys that sold abroad, and even if the red and white machine later landed in North America and changed its name to become the Nintendo entertainment system, and then blew it into a flower, few stores would be willing to accept it.

Sometimes a lot of things are very interesting, and sometimes a person's achievement or a company's success is determined by something in the past.

The sales of Wanhu's "Tetris" handheld during Black Friday mean whether Wanhu will get a powerful stepping stone that can knock on the entire American market.

Don't think that Wanhu officially entered the North American market just to sell the "Tetris" handheld to be satisfied.
