843 [US$422 million] (2)

Those who engage in games and make money are really rich.

Kowloon Games sold 210,000 copies of the game worldwide in half a month.

Each copy of the game costs $100.

Very simple arithmetic problems, that is, Xu Wenhui earned $21 million just by selling copies in half a month.

And the game console sold 530,000 units, creating a sales miracle.

Although, most of them are pre-sold, many games are actually piled up in the hands of dealers, and many are not available to players.

Nevertheless.

Xu Wenhui's game is excellent, and because of the proper publicity, it has achieved the results that Atari took half a year to sell, and it is even better than them.

Costs are deducted.

Deduct labor.

Deduct money from dealers, etc.

Kowloon Games' profits still reached a terrifying $422 million.

※※※

However.

Xu Wenhui is still a little regretful. He remembers, '82. Warner, Atari's parent company, spent 6 weeks making "ET the Extra-Terrestrial", the most famous IP bad work in history.

In the Christmas season of '82, E.T. Aliens sold 150 copies, while Atari prepared 4 million copies. The next few million are smashed in the hands, not to mention.

Xu Wenhui is very greedy for sales of 1.5 million copies, and next year, Atari will become the No. 1 Christmas gift sales with high performance and high game popularity, selling 1 million units.

Atari then re-entered the arcade scene, and Atari's Space Invaders made Atari's arcade machine a big hit when it was released in January 1980, doubling sales to nearly 2 million units, and the Atari VCS machine and game cartridge made a combined profit of more than $2 billion, becoming the backbone of Atari. Sales continued over the next two years, and by 1982 the Atari VCS had sold 8 million units.

This proves.

Before the collapse of the American game market in '83. There are still millions of market shares a year to grab.

"My own 500,000 is not enough to see. And some earn. Xu Wenhui muttered.

If game companies such as Atari and Nintendo saw him pretending to be like this, they would definitely join forces to kill him.

You know, Atari is best known for the Atari 2600.

However, this game has only sold more than 550,000 in more than half a year.

His development time, however, was terrifying, starting in 1971.

However, unable to afford the huge development costs, the entire company was acquired by Warner in 1976 for $28 million in cash, and the investment in the entire project exceeded $100 million until the official sale in 1977.

Desperately desperate.

Even the company was sold.

The game that cost 100 million sky-high R&D costs, sold half a month of results with you, and it only took half a year to develop to inventory, which is really more popular than people.

※※※

But.

Earn a lot, research and development games do burn money, although Xu Wenhui can provide some classic games, but he can't provide research and development for game companies all day long, besides, he has snatched the PC era, the entire eighties and nineties, the two most classic games, Xu Wenhui will not have many games in the future.

"Contra" and "Mario" Xiaobawang game consoles, will continue to sell in the future, this game is not a hammer deal, you must know that the Atari 2600 model, but from the 70s to the 90s, so in the future, this game will still continue to make profits, but it is not as fierce as it is now.

Anyway.

Xu Wenhui left $50 million to Kowloon Games, allowing Miyamoto's team to continue to grow and become the world's largest company.

Now, the supremacy of Atari and Fairchild and Nintendo is no longer guaranteed, although I know that next year will be the year when Atari broke out, which is a strong rise, selling millions a year and doubling the results.

However, it is now an indisputable fact that Xu Wenhui's Kowloon Game Company's single game sales surpass all current game companies.

What we have to do now is to keep out the game and grab the market.

In 1979, there would be more game developments, as well as the development of arcade and home consoles, all of which would cost a lot of money.

"Kowloon Game", Xu Wenhui, also generously took out $2 million to reward all employees!!

This move really bought everyone's hearts, 2 million, or US dollars, it's too much. In this way, those staff who are being poached by Nintendo and other game companies have let them roll.

Even, many people in the industry have flocked to Kowloon Games, the company's prospects are so good, isn't it stupid not to come?

The success of "Contra" and "Mario" has made Kowloon Games the top game company in the world, attracting countless players and talents.

※※※

In order to achieve the small goal of 1 million, Xu Wenhui also made suggestions. As the marketing god of Kowloon Company and even the entire Xu Group, Xu Wenhui's past marketing has been proven to be successful countless times, and he has been named the god of marketing in the company's public relations and marketing department!

Naturally, Shigeru Miyamoto worked even harder after receiving a gratifying bonus.

Entering the end of the month of October.

Kowloon Games' three major games, "Xiangjiang Cube" and "Mario" and "Contra", continue to sell well.

The performance and shape of Xiaobawang are infinitely close to Nintendo's FC game consoles in another time and space, but in terms of hardware architecture, there are still some innovations.

Because the main memory and display memory, which account for the majority of the cost, are 2K, coupled with low labor costs, factories built in the mainland, etc.

Therefore, the price of Xu Wenhui's game can compete with the $200 price of the Atari 2600.

In terms of performance, and even playability, Xiaobawang and the game are all inferior to the Atari 2600, and the gap between the two is only because of the deep heritage of Atari in the game industry.

Xu Wenhui's game, in October, or give away or sell, swept away!

However, the various orders that followed immediately made the entire Kowloon company, which had been hoarding goods for several months, feel the supply pressure.

"It is necessary to increase the construction of factories in the mainland. Xu Wenhui was in Xiangjiang, clapping the board.

The subordinates immediately obediently did so, because the company made hundreds of millions, and naturally it was rich. Directly build a new factory in the mainland of China!!

Recruiting people, and because of Xu Wenhui's previous cooperation with senior officials in the mainland, he has built a good cooperative relationship, and it is a good thing for the mainland, so he is naturally very cooperative.

After seeing the strength and status of Kowloon Games, some partners from Asian factories unconsciously increased their sense of trust and the foundation of cooperation was consolidated, and they naturally wanted to cooperate with them frantically.

The next day –

Xu Wenhui was in Xiangjiang and came to Kowloon, Xu's Building Company relatively late, and as a result, the car was blocked outside the parking lot.

He looked up and saw a long line of motorcades forming downstairs in the building!

"Those guys, they won't be unable to find them on the island country, and they will come to Xiangjiang, right?"

is so hot, seeing the scene in front of him, Xu Wenhui couldn't help but be taken aback, and thought about it, "It seems that I am looking for a president who is specifically responsible for this aspect of business, Miyamoto Shigeru is still not good at management, and he doesn't have so much time, I recently heard him complain that his ears are calloused." ”
