Chapter Ninety-Seven: Sweeping the World

Handhelds are not new, and in the 70s there were already hundreds of different portable consoles on the market. Most of these handhelds are immature products, which are not only too expensive, have a poor gaming experience, but are also bulky or consume batteries too quickly.

Although the GameBoy cannot replace the game cartridge, due to the mature architecture and flash memory technology, and the price of only $79, it immediately exploded the entire American market as soon as it was launched.

The price is $79, not to mention the adults who get a salary, even some children who save pocket money, can afford it.

The fun and intellectuality of "Chinese Cube" was widely publicized by the media earlier, and all consumers who watched the publicity felt that it was worth it!

After many days of warm-up, it was once detonated......

It's like throwing a torch out of a barrel full of gunpowder!

Rumble!

Exploded......

Sales are so hot that you can buy one, it all depends on luck!

The whole of America is so distracted by a small handheld that no one pays attention to the latest movies or TV series that are on the air...... How can a GameBoy handheld be attractive?

Shopping malls in the United States and Oranges' directly operated stores are full of queues of people who have come to snap up GameBoy handhelds. Players who have bought a handheld computer ostentatiously install the battery on the spot, and then, in the envious eyes of people, leisurely play "Chinese Cubes......

In public, you can see a number of players who have got their handhelds, playing as if no one else is around.

Buses, subways, ferries, airplanes, taxis, cinemas, schools, libraries, offices, ...... Whoever owns a GameBoy handheld quickly became the center of attention in the crowd. Many classmates, colleagues, relatives and friends are cheeky and begging to borrow the handheld to play.

At the same time, the handheld computer is the favorite of men and women who love it, because the online data cable is less than a foot long, and when men and women fight together, they just touch their heads.

I don't know how many young men and women have entered the palace of marriage because of GameBoy.

The heads of major shopping malls are already frantically calling and asking for additional orders!

Xia Jinyong, as the head of DreamWorks in North America, put forward requirements for those merchants who flocked to the market:

"Our boss said a few requirements, all agreed to come down, in order to get the goods - 1, full delivery of cash, each purchase price on the basis of the market retail price reduced by 10 yuan.

2. With our company's limited sales, our company now ships 10,000 units per day.

3, the supply according to the order of the manufacturer who has paid the deposit, first to last, not allowed to cut the queue, each store per day order limit of 50 units, how many stores can order how many units, but the same chain store company, the daily order volume does not exceed 1000 units.

4. You can book tomorrow and the day after tomorrow...... and the goods that will be placed in the back row according to the date, but we will only deliver them in the order in which the cash is delivered in full in advance......"

Overlord Treaty!

Naked Overlord Pact!

But the major shopping malls can't ...... The handheld machine is so popular that as long as it is placed on the counter, it will be sold out in less than 1 hour......

This kind of popular product, if its shopping mall has been out of stock, then it will inevitably affect consumers' impression of the shopping mall, and feel that the shopping mall is incompetent!

Therefore, the top 10 retail companies in North America are all fully paid cash to book the daily supply of GameBoy in the near future.

The supply agreement can be as low as 1 month and as long as 3 months.

Relying on the Overlord Treaty, Oranges not only had all the goods in stock already digested by the orders, but also made the company's cash reserves soar to more than $90 million due to the advance cash advance of dealers...... It greatly relieves the pressure on the company.

With the cash advanced by the dealer, Oranges received an interest-free deposit from the bank.

Not only do these fully paid orders ensure the stability of the market, but they also continue to occupy the cash flow of these channel providers......

A large amount of cash flow is rolling in, and Hong Kong's two major banking giants, HSBC and Standard Chartered, are coming from the news......

"Do you want to make a deposit? Now the interest rate on deposits is as high as 9% per annum......"

"Get out! The funds are circulating in our hands, and we can earn 9% in a month, and we can earn more than 100% in a year! ”

"Do you want a loan? Now the interest rate of the loan is preferential, only 13.5% per annum. ”

"Get out, 13.5% annual interest, why don't you rob it! Vampire, is it easy to make some money in business? It's all sucked up by you bankers!"

“……”

Even in the face of this cynicism, these bankers are still cheeky and constantly convinced.

In the end, Zhang Guifang "reluctantly" borrowed 100 million Hong Kong dollars of unsecured credit loans from Standard Chartered and HSBC Bank each, with an annual interest rate reduced to 10%, which should have been considered a conscience loan in the 80s.

Now the whole world is under the impression of severe inflation, including many countries in Europe and the United States The annual bond yield is more than 20%, and the bank loan interest rate is generally above 10%, and even the annual loan interest rate has risen to more than 20% during the peak period......

In this era, it is almost unimaginable that Europe will engage in zero and negative interest rates. Now it is predicted that interest rates will be reduced to 0 or even negative in the future, and everyone will definitely believe it.

In this era, the inflation rate is very high, so it is more cost-effective to borrow money from a bank than to keep money in a bank for a project that can make more money.

And by the way, the multi-day foreign exchange speculation plan was successfully implemented.

Seeing the person in charge of the bank leave happily, Zhang Guifang sneered in his heart: "I don't know who is the one who has the last laugh." ”

……

Three months after the launch of the GameBoy handheld in the United States, production has increased significantly, and in addition to meeting the supply of the North American market, there is still some surplus inventory to meet the needs of other regions.

First of all, Hong Kong,GameBoy in Hong Kong is priced at 700 Hong Kong dollars,Although Hong Kong people's spending power is not as good as the United States,But it still set off a handheld wind,Sales data from major shopping malls show that GameBoy's main consumer group is those young people who have just joined the workforce。

In Hong Kong, Li Yixuan still adopted a limited sale, which led to the birth of a black market transaction - a GameBoy handheld machine, the market price is only 700 Hong Kong dollars, but the current black market price has been sold to more than 3,000 yuan!

After all, in the 80 years of lack of entertainment resources, the entertainment experience of GameBoy has surpassed most of the entertainment methods in the market.

Nowadays, many young people in Hong Kong have passed the time more than just watching TV, watching movies, listening to music, reading novels and comic books.

The most popular form of entertainment is already playing Chinese Cubes with the GameBoy handheld.

Especially for students at school, watching their peers with GameBoy handhelds become the focus of the crowd, who doesn't want to buy a handheld? Unfortunately, the price of HK$700 is not close to the people for the current Hong Kong students.

I can only look at the rich classmates in the class with envious eyes, and take her to worry about Ma Zi for a long time, and I don't know how much hatred I have.
