The first day of release of "Overdrive YOYO" fell into a waterloo, selling only 30,000 copies. Wu Ming didn't care much, you must know that even if there were only 30,000 copies, there were few people in Xiangjiang who could surpass him now. Wu Ming knows the potential of "Speeding YOYO", and its cartoons have detonated the yo-yo craze in previous lives, so Wu Ming is not worried that it will remain silent.

Didn't they see that other comic publishing houses didn't speak out, they all knew in their hearts that this sales volume in Xiangjiang was normal, and their company's best comic sales were not much different from this. The sales of Wu Ming's other comics are abnormal, and one comic is worth the sales of more than a dozen comics.

If this sales volume was small, they would have already begun to step on Wu Ming's top mountain. Now, if they laugh at Wu Ming, doesn't it prove that they are more incompetent than Wu Ming.

Wu Ming is now leisurely drinking tea, sitting in the conference room of Xingchen Entertainment, listening to the company's employees report on their work.

First of all, Huo Jianning reported on the sales performance of Star Entertainment this week.

"Boss, this week we sold more than 2,000 arcade machines, making a profit of more than 13 million Hong Kong dollars. However, now the entire Xiangjiang market is almost saturated, and more than a dozen arcade machines have been sold scattered every day in the past two days, and it is estimated that only a few will be sold every day in the future. The overseas market is gradually climbing, and the total sales have reached more than 1,000 units. ”

After all, the current population of Xiangjiang is only more than 5 million, and it is good to be able to sell 4,000 arcade machines, but now there are no arcade halls to buy them anymore, and they are all purchased sporadically in some shopping malls, supermarkets or movie theaters.

When the others heard Huo Jianning's words, the smiles on their faces converged, the sales of the arcade machine were related to their interests, and now that the arcade machine could not be sold, they would naturally not be happy.

Li Haoming, the minister of the distribution department, continued Huo Jianning's words at this time and said: "Boss, do you see if we have suspended the production speed of arcade machines, now we produce more than 300 arcade machines every day, which is too expensive. The overseas market has not yet opened, and after a long time, the company's capital chain may be broken. ”

The other people in the conference room also nodded when they heard Li Haoming say this.

Wu Ming put down the teacup, stood up, and replied with a smile: "You don't have to worry, isn't the overseas market slowly climbing now, which shows that our arcade machines are also popular overseas." It won't be long before those overseas businessmen will come to our company with large sums of money to grab goods. ”

"As for arcade inventory being too expensive, it's not a big deal. As you all know, my dad's Tole Toy Company is a rich man. If the money is not enough, I will ask Uncle Jianning to borrow a sum of money from my father for a temporary turnaround. ”

Since Wu Bing'an saw that the game company that his son Wu Ming was busy with was as successful as the Order of the Phoenix, he completely admitted defeat. If his son wants to borrow some money to expand his business, Wu Bingan will naturally not refuse.

The people of Xingchen Entertainment naturally know about Duole Toy Company, which is the industry of Wu Bing'an, the father of the boss Wu Ming. At this time, when I heard the boss say this, I also let go of the worries in my heart.

They are also very confident in "Great Wall Cube" and "Snake", and believe that they can also look down on the same overseas as the Hong Kong market. It's just that I'm worried that the development of the business will take time, and now with the boss's guarantee, I naturally no longer oppose it.

Seeing that everyone no longer objected, Wu Ming also nodded, and turned to look at Zhou Liang, the minister of the platform technology development department.

"Minister Zhou, how is the research of the block machine project of your platform technology development department?"

Zhou Liang handed over a cube machine test product that had been prepared in front of him.

"Boss, we have successfully developed it, this is the initial version, and there are some minor problems, but they are not big, and it will take a few more days to solve them. ”

Wu Ming took the cube machine and took a closer look, there was no difference from the previous life, it seemed that they were completely made according to their own design drawings. Wu Ming played for a while and felt that there was no big problem, so he passed the block machine to everyone and asked them to try it out and understand the company's new products in the future.

After a while, everyone had played the block machine and was hooked. If it weren't for Wu Ming's reminder, there would still be people who want to dominate the block machine and keep playing.

Li Haoming, the head of the distribution department, stood up excitedly and danced to something.

"Boss, this block machine is too suitable for playing "Great Wall Cube", as long as it is launched, it will definitely be warmly welcomed by fans of "Great Wall Cube". Let's get those foundry electronics factories to produce as soon as possible!"

The others were also very excited and interacting with each other. It's another big project that can be compared to an arcade machine, and maybe even more than an arcade machine.

Wu Ming pressed his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

"I'm not going to make a block machine yet. ”

"Why, boss?"

Everyone else is puzzled, what are you thinking about if you don't eat such a big piece of fat? And the cube machine was developed at the request of the boss himself, and now he is not ready to produce it.

Wu Ming saw that everyone was looking at him, and he also knew that they were confused, so he explained.

"You've all played block machines, and you should all understand that "Great Wall Blocks" is different from other games, and the best carrier is actually handheld. ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and they had just played for a while, and they felt that it was much more convenient to play "Great Wall Blocks" on a block machine than on an arcade machine, computer, and home console.

Huo Jianning had a flash of inspiration at this time, stood up, and said first: "Boss, what do you mean is that if we release a block machine, not many people will buy our game cartridges at that time, and there will be fewer people who go to the arcade to play "Great Wall Cubes" and "Snake", which will affect the sales of our arcade machines." ”

Wu Ming saw that Huo Jianning understood what he meant so quickly, and he also nodded, worthy of being the first person in the future "Working Emperor".

"That's right, it's the same as what you said Uncle Jianning. I'm just worried that the release of the block machine will affect our arcade and game cartridge business, so I'm not going to produce a block machine for release yet. ”

When others heard Huo Jianning and Wu Ming say this, they also suddenly realized, it turned out that this was the reason why the boss was not ready to produce and sell block machines.

Wu Ming swept through the crowd and knew that everyone had understood what he meant. He continued: "So my plan is a three-step strategy of arcade, game cartridge, software and block machine. ”

"The first step is to release the arcade, which we are already walking. Now that the local market in Xiangjiang is saturated, this part will be considered a success when the European, American and RB markets are opened. Then we can increase our benefits by selling game cartridges on home consoles and game software on computers. ”

"And by that time, we also had enough capital. It is possible to acquire the production line of the two most important parts of the cube machine, the chip and the LCD screen, and achieve self-sufficiency. It can not only weaken the influence of those parts manufacturers on our company, but also reduce the cost of the block machine and increase market competitiveness. Finally, we will sell the block machine to maximize the profits. ”

"Now you all know what I'm thinking!"

Everyone applauded, obviously admiring Wu Ming's idea.

Wu Ming quieted everyone down and continued: "This plan can only be known to those present, especially the cube machine, you must not reveal it, otherwise I am afraid it will cause some trouble." ”

"What's the trouble?"

"The development of the block machine is not very difficult, and if it is revealed, other game companies will also develop it at that time. Although we have the magic weapon of "Great Wall Cube", we are afraid that some manufacturers will not follow the rules to do piracy. ”

At this time, everyone fell silent, knowing that even their company's arcade machine is not free of pirated copies now. It's just that they ship fast enough, so the pirates can't afford to make any waves.

If it is really as the boss Wu Ming said, their company will really have a lot of trouble at that time. You must know that handheld machines are much easier to imitate than arcade machines, and when the time comes, under the impact of those pirates, their company's block machines may not sell much.

In later generations, other countries often accused the Chinese government of not managing domestic pirates well, but they also stood and spoke without backache, completely forgetting their own country's past black history.

In this era, even in the United States, there are many pirates, and their government can't control it. It was only later that with the development of the economy, a large number of pirates turned into regular companies, but they did not want their interests to be harmed, and then cracked down on piracy. This is why the pirates in their countries do not hold their heads up, but even in the 21st century, there are still some small pirates in these countries.

Then when they arrived in China, they preached to the government about the harms of piracy, but the government did not believe them, but gave full play to their copycat expertise, which made Huaxia's economy develop rapidly.

In later generations, many people accused the government of not managing the cottage business well, but they don't know how they would have such a good life in the future without these cottage businesses.

And the government is already gradually supporting innovation and cracking down on piracy, but it will take some time. Like island countries and stick countries, which didn't come this way before.

"We all know it, and we will definitely keep this plan well. ”

Everyone assured Wu Ming that they would not leak out. Now in Xingchen Entertainment, their lives are much better than before, and their normal salaries are much higher than those of other companies, plus bonuses. It can be said that the interests of the company represent their interests, and they do not want those pirates to harm their interests.

Wu Ming also believed that they would not betray the company, even if the news leaked, he would not have no back-up.
