Chapter 30 Respect

At the end of another game, the young man on Takahashi's side, after throwing the coin, looked at Takahashi and said, "Come again!"

Takahashi briskly threw in a coin and thought to himself, "Come again, come again." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

While he is confident in his strength, he does not take it lightly. The reason why he is in a cheerful mood is that he finds it fun to "fish" like this.

It's also a fun spice when you're playing a boring game.

However, he didn't rejoice for long. If you let your opponent know that you're teasing him, you'll be angry.

But there's no way around it. Since you have done this job, you have to respect it.

The goal of his job is never to win all the time, but to find ways to get potential players to pay attention to Interstellar Force and to Hudson.

Therefore, although Takahashi's behavior is a bit of a bad taste, it is also very consistent with the direction of his work.

One, two, three......

Under Takahashi's increasingly skillful teasing, the young man had already spent a thousand yen.

Although he didn't think 1,000 yen was much, the game that he almost won in 10 rounds still made him taste catty.

He said to Takahashi with some anger, "Can you have fun?"

"Good. Takahashi saw that he had reacted, and he didn't plan to tease him.

The smooth operation, with the head of Cleopatra VII, is the perfect lore!

“4560000!”

The young man's face was full of astonishment, and he stared at the score on the leaderboard, which was one and a half million points higher than his highest score, and looked extremely depressed.

"I lost. He said dejectedly.

Takahashi did not comfort the young man with words, because whatever he said now would sound like mockery to the young man.

"Work hard in the future, continue to work hard?" such non-nutritious words can only make young people more unhappy.

As a loser, I can't say anything, and of course you want to say whatever you want to say as you like the winner.

When the young man was remorseful, Takahashi chose a medium prize and gave it to him. Inside the small gift box is a voucher of 500 yen from the mall. At best, you can buy a slightly better ice cream.

But he thought it was much better than another gift, a cup with Hudson's logo on it. If he really gave him a cup, he would really use it, and every time he drank from the cup, he would think of his memory of being abused, which would be too bad.

It would be better to give him a 500 yen voucher and let him eat it with ice cream.

The young man did not refuse the prize this time, he grabbed the voucher and stood up in despair.

As the first brother of an arcade in Nerima District, he met Takahashi today, which seriously damaged his self-esteem. In his heart, he was already thinking about whether it was time to retire from the rivers and lakes if there were people outside the world and there was a sky outside the sky.

The medium prize is 500 yen, which seems to be of very low value and is not very attractive. But in fact, this is not the case, the main group of this activity is not adults, but those who are relatively young and far from financial freedom.

The medium prize is equivalent to two copies of "Weekly Shonen Jump", which is enough to meet the entertainment needs of a primary and secondary school child for two weeks.

Of course, the wool still comes from the sheep.

The lowest prizes are cheap snacks from some coarse snack shops.

Playing a handful of snacks is usually worth 50 yen, but on the other hand, it is equivalent to 50 yen for a single game.

Why not just lower the coin price?

This is because Hudson implemented arcade price control, and all Hudson's games released have a uniform game price.

Otherwise, if several arcade halls maliciously reduce prices because of competition. In the end, not only will these arcade stores not be better, but there will also be a lot of damage to the arcade production companies.

Players can play games with you for 50 yen, but elsewhere they will be 100 yen. Even though it was originally 100 yen, it still felt like a loss.

In this way, players will not choose to play, and if players do not play, the arcade will be reduced in price. The less income per unit of time in the arcade, the less incentive to buy a new arcade machine.

In order to avoid such a vicious circle, most arcade machine production companies have begun to promote their own price standards.

In addition, the "Arcade Price Protection Committee" has been established between companies to discuss and decide what kind of game level and what the fee standard should be.

What kind of game charges fifty yen per time, what kind of arcade game charges one hundred yen per time, and what kind of arcade game charges two hundred yen per time.

There is a corresponding price tag, so as to avoid malicious competition between arcade manufacturers. For everyone to make money together, pit players' money together, and create a good foundation and environment.

Of course, there are policies and countermeasures, and there are all kinds of flexible activities. Promotions, tournaments, etc., have become the hallmarks of each arcade store, and they do their best to attract more players to their store.

Today, Takahashi is a composite strategy of the two strategies. Game Master Challenge, as well as playing games to get prizes.

Of course, unlike the arcade hall, today it is not primarily about making money, but about promoting Hudson's brand.

Although Hiroshi Kudo seems to be good every day, there is absolutely nothing to do. Arcade companies with a lot of cash are no longer satisfied with the profit of selling arcade machines alone, because even if the profit is high, there is no other income after selling it except for a small maintenance fee.

Therefore, in addition to cooperating with arcade halls, we launched a model of free arcade machines and follow-up revenue sharing. The rest is to seek to set up a directly operated arcade hall to maximize the benefits.

Takahashi came here to play games, in addition to cultivating popularity, but also to test the acceptance of Hudson's games here.

If the people here like Hudson's games, then Hudson is likely to set up a directly operated arcade hall in this mall.

As for why it wasn't set up around Akihabara, it was because there were too many arcade halls around Akihabara. A good electrical street is about to become a video game street.

Too much competition will not only lead to a large increase in costs, but also a sharp decrease in profits. It is better to spread anxiety and seek a larger market.

Therefore, apart from the semi-open-air arcade hall downstairs of Hudson's Tokyo branch, Hudson had no intention of setting up a new arcade in Akihabara.

And the arcade downstairs, although there are also players playing, it is not mainly facing players. It's a merchant from Akihabara.

You must know that Takahashi plays "Interstellar Force" downstairs every day, which has prompted the "Interstellar Force" arcade to sell more than 600 units, and the order has been scheduled for next month.

In the "Interstellar Force" around Akihabara, almost all of the stations have no free time.

Based on the price of 300,000 yuan per arcade machine, the sales volume has increased by at least 180 million yen due to Takahashi, the gross profit is at least 80 million, and the net profit is at least 50 million.

And what did Hudson pay? He only paid Takahashi 10,000 yen a day, and Takahashi and his uncle paid a total of 200,000 yen a month.

This is also why Kudo Hiroshi attaches great importance to Takahashi, he does not pay attention to Takahashi itself, but the crazy effect brought by Takahashi.

This also explains why Hiroshi Kudo authorized Takahashi to deal with "Gold Diggers" from another side.

Of course, there is a logical contradiction. If Takahashi can bring great benefits, why can he be ready to sacrifice him at any time without pressure?

This is because Kudo Hiroshi understands that even if Takahashi is gone, he can still discover a new Takahashi.

There are so many players in Akihabara, and if you want to discover the next Takahashi, it's not a matter of probability, it's just a matter of time.

At night, before the mall closes, the audience gathers around Hudson's stage. It wasn't until Takahashi promised to come back tomorrow that these new fans, who were only gathered today, slowly dispersed.

When he went back, Takahashi did not sit in the back compartment again, but sat in the front.

Today, he proved himself with his strength and won the respect of his fellow travelers.

Takahashi leaned against the back of the seat, watching the car moving at high speed, the lights that were stretched into lines, and listened to the compliments of himself.

It seems that everything is getting better and better.
