Chapter 338: Very good news
Chapter 338 is very haode news
"That 'Fang'? Which 'square'? Yokoi Junhei was confused.
"A few days ago, GameStation called and said that Fang Jun, the founder of the company, intends to meet with you recently and has something to discuss. It's been two or three days, and there's no response? Yamauchi asked puzzled, "Even if we don't want to see each other, we have to tell each other, right?" ”
"Huh?" Gunpei Yokoi's mouth opened wide in surprise, and Soichi Yamauchi could even see that he had a tooth decay in his back molars.
Yokoi Junhei said urgently after a while: "When will the company notify me?" Why am I not impressed at all? See, of course you want to see! "Although Yokoi Junhei is said to be a veteran of Nintendo, and he is also a popular figure in the Japanese game industry, there is still a big gap compared with Fang Mingyuan, who is currently in the sky! What's more, how Nintendo has fallen into a business predicament, if it can't reverse this decline, I'm afraid that if you don't wait for the new console to go on the market, Nintendo's golden signboard accumulated over the years will be smashed first!
"Hey, by the way, Yamauchi-kun, what is the matter with Fang Jun looking for me?" Yokoi Junhei slapped his brain and said, now that "Resident Evil" is selling in full swing, how can Fang Mingyuan think of seeing himself?
"I don't know!" Soichi Yamauchi spread his hands regretfully and said, "They didn't say it. ”
As the sun sets, the long queues in front of these game stores in Tokyo are finally starting to become scarce, but the statistics are shocking to those who are watching!
Judging from the scene, the release of "Resident Evil" even surpassed the original Saturn and PS console release date. In front of game stores all over Japan, there are long queues of people. This is a very rare situation in Japan, when Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest were released, but it is the national game of the Japanese people, and it has a long history of several years or even more than ten years! Each episode has millions of sales! Resident Evil is just a new title that has been released for the first time, and it can match their first-day release, which alone is enough to shock the vast majority of the Japanese gaming industry!
Judging from the sales performance, by 8 o'clock in the evening, the sales of "Resident Evil" in Japan have exceeded 2.2 million units, which is the first work in Japan to exceed the 2 million mark on the first day of sale after Saturn and PS are officially released!
"It seems that by 12 o'clock at midnight today, the sales of 2.5 million units can still be guaranteed!" Fang Mingyuan patted the data sent by the "door" of the Statistics Department, and smiled. This time, I made a lot of money in Japan!
"Sega is going crazy this time, and today's console sales are almost worth the total sales of the usual four to five days!" Shinji Mikami couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and smiled so much that his eyebrows and eyes became a slit.
Uda Zhong had already rushed back to the headquarters of Sega Co., Ltd., and the unimaginable sales performance of "Resident Evil" and the promotion of Saturn's console sales made Uda Zhong not only surprised, but also thought more about how to tie Fang Mingyuan more firmly to the chariot of Sega Co., Ltd.!
Otherwise, it won't be until tomorrow that Sony and Nintendo will realize more fully what a wonderful thing it would be to have GameStation and Fang Mingyuan in their camp! Although Fang Mingyuan has promised that in three months, "Resident Evil" will land on PS, but these three months are enough for Sega Co., Ltd. to once again distance itself from Sony's market share!
Uda Zhong is very worried, if Sony and Nintendo are willing to pay a lot of money to win over Fang Mingyuan, will Fang Mingyuan be tempted? After all, when it comes to the background, Sega Co., Ltd. is still inferior to Sony, which has deep pockets and assets of more than 100 billion US dollars, and the tiger is invincible, and the home game console market used to be the director of paradise!
Even if Fang Mingyuan leans a little towards Sony and Nintendo at that time, it is not a trivial matter for Sega Co., Ltd.! He didn't think that in the face of huge dividends, Fang Mingyuan would care much about his shares in Sega Co., Ltd.!
So he had to rush back to Sega's headquarters immediately to discuss the matter with the Sega directors.
"Mikami-kun, you must hurry up the work of porting "Resident Evil" to the computer, it is a huge market that is not inferior to the "color" of the console!" Fang Mingyuan is meaningful. There are tens of millions of all shijie computers, and in the future, there will be hundreds of millions! In the previous life, "Resident Evil" had achieved extremely dazzling results on the computer, and Fang Mingyuan believes that this time, it will not be an exception!
"Yes! Fang Jun, I'll urge them to complete the PC version and PS version as soon as possible! Shinji Mikami's heart sank, and he immediately bowed his head!
"But before that, I want to give you a celebration first! Let's go, everyone in the company has been waiting for you for a long time! Fang Mingyuan patted Shinji Mikami's shoulder and said.
Lin Rong on the side breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't know what Fang Mingyuan had taken a fancy to this café, they sat here until two o'clock in the afternoon, and then went out to take a walk in the autumn leaves, and actually returned here. She had already been screamed by those young "girls" one by one "master", and she finally waited for the moment when Fang Mingyuan said that she was leaving!
At the moment when Fang Mingyuan stood up, a deafening noise suddenly erupted from the dragon of people in front of the Ishinomaru Game Store not far from the street, which was currently only tens of meters long!
"Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen! Ryunosuke stood at the entrance of the store sweating profusely, waving his arms and shouting, "Everyone, listen to me! ”
"What is there to say? We've been queuing here for so long, don't we just want to buy a game? Why didn't you say it earlier when you were out of stock? Someone in the crowd shouted angrily. They knew they wouldn't be in line here, and there were so many sales outlets in Tokyo that they might be able to buy them elsewhere.
"That's it!"
"That's it!" Many people in the crowd also shouted loudly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we're really out of stock right now, but the delivery truck is on the way! It's just that the road is blocked, and I can't catch up for a while. Wait, everybody, it'll be delivered soon! Ryunosuke shouted three times with all his might.
"Wait, wait, we've all been waiting here for hours!"
Ryunosuke San was already sweating profusely, he didn't expect that even if he repeatedly deliberately delayed time, there were nearly 7,000 sets in the store, and 800 sets of "Resident Evil" bundled with the console, nearly 8,000 games, which on weekdays, almost half a month's sales of him, or sold out! Outside the store's "door", there are nearly 200 people waiting for it!
"Ladies and gentlemen! Everybody...... "Ryunosuke's voice was completely suppressed by the angry crowd's scolding.
Shinji Mikami, who was in the distance, involuntarily glanced back at Fang Mingyuan.
It is precisely because of Fang Mingyuan's persistence that "Resident Evil" has prepared up to four million sets! Before that, the vast majority of people in the company thought that it would be enough to prepare more than 1 million sets on the first day of sale! Additional production may be increased depending on the first day of release.
After all, if you really have to prepare so much, once you can't sell it, it will be a huge cost.
In the eyes of many people in the company, as a game that has been released for the first time, the total sales of "Resident Evil" can reach 2 million units, which is already a very "outstanding" achievement. After all, in Japan, if a game can sell more than 500,000 copies, it can be considered quite good, and it can already satisfy most game production companies. And the sales can exceed one million, it is a famous masterpiece, if there are two million sets of sales, it can be called the masterpiece of the year!
But after the report was 'handed in', it was unceremoniously beaten back by Fang Mingyuan!
On this issue, Fang Mingyuan didn't listen to anyone's opinions at all, and stubbornly set the number at four million sets. In the end, the rest of the people could only succumb to Fang Mingyuan's "'obscene' power", but below, many people were talking about how many sets of "Resident Evil" would be pressed in the warehouse.
Although Shinji Mikami is very confident in his work, he has never thought that he would have to prepare so much! For him, a newcomer, even if there is a great god like Fang Mingyuan standing behind him, he can have millions of sales, which already makes him very satisfied.
But facts speak louder than words, and the four million sets of "Resident Evil" in stock now seem to be not much at all! Although after the first day, sales will definitely not be as exaggerated as today - Mikami Shinji feels that he can only use "exaggerated" to describe sales on the first day now, although he also knows that this word is not appropriate enough, but his head has been dizzy by the good news of "wave" and "wave", and he can't think of more precise words.
Four million sets, you should be able to sell them all, right? Shinji Mikami thought secretly. If that's really the case, ...... yourself
"Mikami-kun!" Fang Mingyuan's voice made the intoxicated future a "excited" zero, and hurriedly agreed.
"Mikami-kun, it seems that this store has encountered a little trouble. Would you like to do them a favor? Fang Mingyuan pointed to the crowd that had become a "chaotic" group.
"Fang Jun, what do you mean?" Shinji Mikami scratched his head a little and said. He's not a god, and he can't conjure up goods.
Fang Mingyuan whispered a few words to him, and Shinji Mikami was embarrassed, but he still responded.
"Brother Chen, send someone to escort Mikami-kun to contact the manager of this store!" Fang Mingyuan waved his hand.
Seeing that Shinji Mikami, accompanied by the two of them, squeezed into the crowd, Fang Mingyuan said to Lin Rong: "You contact Miyamoto-kun and ask him to contact the relevant media, there is a very haode news here!" ”
