Chapter 107: Sale

Inside Nintendo's headquarters, the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

The faces of everyone present were extremely gloomy.

The Game Watch, which was developed with a lot of money a while ago, is finally on the market, and sales have been extremely hot since the launch.

Everyone at Nintendo was overjoyed by this, thinking that they could gain a foothold in the gaming market and make a big splash.

Seeing that Game Watch is about to occupy the island market, and then rush to the world.

Unexpectedly, Xingchen Entertainment, the giant of the game industry in Xiangjiang across the ocean, actually developed a handheld machine. And there are more variety, more fun and cheaper games than their Game Watch.

Everyone at Nintendo was shocked by this sudden news, and some even had despair in their hearts.

Gunny Yokoi sat in his chair with a frosty face.

Deep down, Gunhei Yokoi actually admires this block machine very much, because this block machine perfectly expresses some of his ideas.

But this block machine will be the biggest opponent of the Game Watch developed by himself, and even the Game Watch will die. This makes Yokoi how acceptable.

The president of the game, Yamauchi, supported his development. For this reason, Nintendo, which has just paid off its debts to major banks, has once again spent a lot of money to open up a new production line.

If the Game Watch fails on this, Nintendo will suffer a heavy blow. He became a sinner.

"President, we should speed up the expansion of Game Watch, and occupy the handheld market in island countries and develop overseas markets as soon as possible before the sale of Xingchen Entertainment's block machine, so as to recover all the costs. Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable. Genyo Takeuchi suggested in a deep voice.

Yokoi Junpei, who came back to his senses, also looked approving, and said: "Takeuchi-kun is right, the cube machine has the weapon of "Great Wall Cube", as long as it is listed, it will definitely have a great impact on our Game Watch. Fortunately, judging from the video, the games on the block machine are all pixel games, and you can only play that kind of game. ”

"The games on our Game Watch, on the other hand, have clear characters. We can use this to promote the difference between us, so that even if they take most of the Game Watch market, they will still have a part of the players who like our kind of games. ”

When Yamauchi Pu heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and said: "Okay, just do what you say, and then we will tide over the difficulties together!"

……

Two days later, on September 1, the cube machine was launched simultaneously around the world.

Nowadays, Xingchen Entertainment is not as good as before, it is just a small company in Xiangjiang. It is a large international company that sits in the second place in the global game industry, and its every move is watched by countless people.

Gamers, in particular, are looking forward to Xingchen Entertainment continuing to release fun games every day.

As soon as the press conference of the block machine went viral, the players went crazy.

What an appealing idea to play Great Wall Blocks anytime, anywhere. Now it's really possible.

In the United States, countless players applauded the birth of the block machine.

Jerry is one of them, 14-year-old Jerry is already a sophomore in junior high school and has become a big fan of video games since playing Pong a few years ago.

Even though the teachers at school often advertised that video games were harmful and psychotropic drugs, he still scoffed at them.

After all, drug use is very common in the United States, and video games are much healthier than drugs.

As the son of a police chief, he knows that since the advent of video games, the crime rate in the United States has been much lower than before.

At first, Jerry was a big fan of Atari, but it wasn't until he played Wall Blocks and Snake that he realized that there were even bigger game companies than Atari.

The games released by Xingchen Entertainment, he has never missed them.

"Hi Jerry, you're here!" the store manager greeted Jerry with a smile.

Jerry nodded and smiled, "Yes, Mr. Store." Where's the block machine I ordered with you yesterday?!"

The store manager said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't miss you, I have entered 10,000 cube machines." ”

After saying that, the store manager took out a cube machine and handed it to Jerry.

Hearing this, Jerry's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "10,000 block machines cost $350,000, aren't you afraid of bankruptcy, store manager?" ”

The store manager pursed his lips and said, "I'm not afraid, "The Great Wall Cube" is so popular, it won't take long for 10,000 cube machines to be sold." If I don't seize such a good opportunity, I will regret it for a long time in the future. ”

In the end, as the owner expected, more than 4,000 cube machines were sold on the first day. In less than a month, all 10,000 block machines were sold.

……

Although Xiangjiang is not as wealthy as the United States, the popularity of the cube machine is not much worse than it.

The price of the cube machine is US$40, which is equivalent to HK$200, which is equal to one-fifth of the average Xiangjiang person's monthly salary.

Even so, it still can't stop the citizens of Hong Kong from purchasing.

As another company owned by Wu Ming, Carrefour supermarket. Naturally, it was the first to get the most inventory.

Now there is a long queue at the toy counter of Carrefour supermarket, almost all of whom come to buy block machines.

"Zhiqing, are you also here to buy a block machine?" Chen Haihua, who was just about to queue up, couldn't help but ask when he saw Li Zhiqing, a classmate from elementary school.

Li Zhiqing shook his head and said with a smile: "No, I'm here to buy some drinks." Our Phoenix Society and Star Entertainment are brother companies, and if you want to buy these things, you can book them in advance, and they will be purchased by the company, which is much cheaper than outside. I got the cube machine yesterday. ”

This is naturally some of the benefits that Wu Ming gives to the employees of his company. Of course, in order to prevent these employees from becoming scalpers and harming the interests of the company, each person is limited to two block machines.

"Really?!" Hearing this, Chen Haihua couldn't help but be envious, "Your Phoenix Society's welfare is really good, not only do you have gifts every holiday, but the company also helps you buy the things you need." You still have a Carrefour membership card, right?"

Li Zhiqing smiled slightly and replied: "Yes, the employees of Phoenix Society, Xingchen Entertainment, Duole Toys, and Aihua Electronics all have this benefit. ”

In order to enhance the sense of belonging of the company's employees, let them really embrace. Wu Ming can be said to have taken great pains, not only to give gifts during the New Year's holidays, but also to have a lot more bonuses than other companies.

In addition, there are many discounts for each company's products to buy each other's products.

Nowadays, the satisfaction of employees of various companies in Xiangjiang has always been at the forefront of Wu Ming's company.
