Chapter 223: A Different Calculation
Taiyu Technology's newly launched street warrior arcade game is like a whirlwind, blowing all over Hong Kong Island. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info [Full Text Reading] ┡╋┣ To ┢╬ Look ╬┝┠ Book ┡┢.
All the fans who were lucky enough to play the game for the first time praised the game and gave it the highest rating they could think of.
In their mouths, Street Warrior is arguably the greatest video game ever played in the Ming Dynasty. It's as fun as you can imagine, and the gameplay is flexible and varied, so it's fun to play against both the computer and the player.
What drives players crazy about Street Fighter is its unusually high degree of freedom.
Through the direction control of the joystick, different combat skills can be combined with different buttons, and this innovative design simply puts players into a state of madness. Some players with a spirit of specialization put in hundreds of coins in order to see the excitement of different skills and study how many combinations there are.
The fastest way to get money is still in the battle mode.
One time is two players at the same time to play, both sides don't know what tactics, under the chaos of the battle basically twenty or thirty seconds one side down, three battles and two wins of the fighting rendezvous, a game currency is fast for twenty or thirty seconds, slow can not last a minute and a half. Then the loser will either not accept and fight again, or he will retreat and let a new player join in, and the coins will be thrown into the coin slot and into the coin storage box as if they were not money.
An arcade machine that will be filled up in less than two hours. There were so many coins that even the coin tubes were so full that it was impossible to continue the coins.
The staff at the flagship store were busy flying, constantly shuttling from arcade to arcade, taking boxes of coins from the cabinets, sending them back to the counter to count and box, and then sell them to players. ⊥ they had to read the book 1 ╬ k ╋ a ┼ n ╳ shu · c·c after a short time, they would have to run to open the cabinet and clean the coin box that was full of coins again, and so on.
And players who are always in a state of excitement don't feel that the money in their pockets is about to drain away. It wasn't until they took out the last coin on their bodies that they had to step back from the plane, still unwilling to be around. Even if you are watching others fight, you are reluctant to leave.
The money went into the arcade's pocket.
The pirated game manufacturers, amusement arcade owners, and foreign agents who were secretly visiting the flagship store were on fire and almost lost their minds. They coveted Taiwoo's money-grabbing method, and they were jealous and cursed for their ability to get a processor that even the manufacturer couldn't find to revamp and drive other competitors out of the market.
Seeing that the money continued to flow into the pockets of Taiyu Company like water, they couldn't even get a small penny, which was heartbreaking.
If it weren't for the fact that Taiyu was still selling it to the public, there were many game hall owners among the buyers, and people almost thought that they wanted to make the money from the game hall and not leave it to others.
In just one morning, in addition to the 30 old models that were not interested, the 70 Street Fighter game consoles accumulated more than 40,000 Hong Kong dollars!
With this level of profitability, it is not uncommon to earn more than 100,000 yuan in a day.
This unprecedented frenzy only appeared for a while when Taiyu Technology launched the first arcade game, and everyone was obsessed with it because they had never been exposed to it. ≥∧ to read books∥∥·1┼·c·c Since then, with the number and variety of arcades, most players have upgraded from Xiaobai to Laobai, and after seeing more and more, although the new games opened by Taiyu Technology are also sought after, but there is no fanaticism at the beginning.
And today, because of the introduction of Street Warrior, people feel like they are back in the golden days of arcade games.
In terms of earning money alone, this doubles battle mode is even faster and fiercer than it was then!
What's even more terrifying is that this kind of hurricane was initially only seen in the Taiyu flagship store, and as the number of listings gradually increased, more and more game halls began to put street fighters. However, despite the rapid increase in the number of game consoles, the popularity of gamers has not decreased, but has spread to the whole of Hong Kong Island.
Although there were many players in the original Space Invaders, when the game was filled in every game hall, the number of players was diverted to each game hall, and everyone's overall income was on a downward trend.
This is also in line with the formula of balance between supply and demand.
However, the emergence of street fighters has subverted everyone's perception. From the earliest exclusive listing of the Taiyu flagship store, to a week later, almost every game hall in Hong Kong has placed one or two, and the crowd of street fighters has never been diverted.
In any game hall, as long as you enter the street warriors, the number of players who were originally sparse will increase rapidly, and the income will also increase dramatically. The boss thought that he had robbed other businesses, but when he went to the next door, he saw that the number of players on the other side was also increasing, not decreasing. It is necessary to look at the V book·1╬K╳A┼N┼S╋H╬U╋·C╋·C
It's like a player who didn't have it, because of the launch of the street warrior game, and then out of thin air never knew where to hide.
Every family that entered the arcade of Street Warrior increased their income by 10 to 20 percentage points from the original level.
Those professional game manufacturers sent a large number of people to investigate and determined that the extra profits came from the battle mode, which stimulated players' awareness of confrontation and increased the upper limit of game consumption. To be precise, the total number of gamers did not increase, and the average player spent more money on this game contributed to the increase in revenue of the arcade.
In other words, Taiyu Technology has expanded the market size of the game industry by 10% to 20% just by relying on this model innovation!
This result is in awe for all those working in the game industry.
After a thorough investigation, there is no doubt that Street Fighter is an epoch-making unbeaten game, and the question now is how many people can make money from this game.
In order to profit from it, the game industry people gathered all over Hong Kong racked their brains, and the eight immortals crossed the sea to show their magical powers.
If you have a relationship with Taiyu Technology, you want to go through the back door through the relationship and pick up the goods as soon as possible (you can only buy the genuine version from Taiyu and then sell it at a high price); If it doesn't matter, they are desperately camping, hoping to share a small amount of profit from the merchants who get the goods, in order to make a little money. ∥∧ to read ∈ book 1┼k╳a╬n╬shu·c·c
The truly influential industry giants refused to watch Taiyu eat meat, they drank soup, and gave up the market, and began to frequently connect in private, discussing the formation of an alliance to jointly put pressure on Taiyu Technology.
Its leader is Atari of the United States, and its allies are Time Warner, Japan's Nintendo, and Sega Corporation. Under their banners, they have surrounded many large and medium-sized electronics companies to form a huge industrial group.
These companies are different from other pirates who blindly reproduce Taiyu Technology arcade machines, they are all heroes with far-reaching layouts and ambitions, how can they be willing to be subdued by a junior?
Even in the period when Taiyu Technology became famous, although they began to copy the Taiyu version of the arcade machine and relabel it for external sales for the sake of market share and company profits, like other pirates, they never gave up the pace of independent opening.
After decades of ups and downs in this industry, they know very well that once they give up the road of independence, they will be tantamount to admitting defeat and never have a chance to regroup.
In the past four years, Taiyu Technology has continued to expand its share, which has caused them great dissatisfaction, but they are really unable to compete.
But Taewoo wants to eat alone, which offends all the game practitioners around the world. Because of the replacement of the processor, Motorola, which had a good relationship between the two sides and had contributed a lot to Taiyu Technology's entry into the U.S. market, has now turned its face against them, and it can be said that there is no one more ally.
The emergence of this situation made them overjoyed.
They believe that Taiyu Technology has made a fatal mistake and offended everyone in the world. This is also the best time they have ever dreamed of, just in time to unite all the companies that are dissatisfied with Taiyu Technology and use all their power to wipe them out.
Don't think that the most skilled can do whatever you want.
If you really provoke them, even if your product is unique in the sky and on the earth, it can ruthlessly destroy you completely. Video games are not necessities of life after all, even if they are banned by administrative power, the people will complain for a while at most, as long as they are given substitutes, even if they are slightly worse substitutes, as long as the genuine products are absolutely not allowed to appear in the market of the country where they are located, ordinary people have no choice but to accept it.
They are not worried about whether it will give a bad impression of violating the principles of fair trade and affect other investors.
Because no one will cry out for Taiyu Technology!
In the past four years, no matter how much Taiyu Technology hides it, with the expansion of the scope of knowledge, domestic students going to the United States have spread the word of mouth, and the true face of the boss behind the company is still so mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people, but it has already been talked about at the level of the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries.
It was the Hong Kong government, and they also understood that they had been fooled before, and they were blackmailed by Guan Fei and took advantage of it.
It turns out that Guan Fei is not an agent in the country at all, his real identity is actually a small warlord, well, now he can be called a big warlord.
Of course, it would be right to say that he is an agent in the country.
However, they are both agents, but there is an essential difference between the two concepts: if he is an agent of domestic affairs toward Hong Kong and the export economy abroad, then he represents the domestic political and economic attitude towards Hong Kong, and is also the official representative of the domestic export economy.
However, if he is only an agent in the affairs of the country, it is too far off.
In order to win over the country to jointly deal with the strong pressure exerted by the Soviet Union, there is no problem in giving certain benefits to the country, and it is also possible to make some economic concessions. Guan Fei has the support of the country, and if he wants to engage in legitimate business in Hong Kong and make money to feed his army, then he can also turn a blind eye.
But there's a premise: you can come in and play, but you have to play within my rules!
A few years ago, after Taiyu Technology's market share exceeded 50%, it was attacked by the game industry and electronics industry in various countries, which was a warning to them. After several rounds of training, Taiyu Technology has become well-behaved, sensible, and honestly guards 50% of the share, and everyone will forget it.
But now you have to flip the table, and you want to drive other domestic players off the table and sit in the bank yourself, which is unbearable!
The political system of the West and the rest of the country is diametrically opposed, and to put it mildly, it is also the next potential enemy after the defeat of the Soviet Union. Now everyone is forming a broad united front, with the same goal to deal with the Soviet Union, and then the Soviet Union will fall, it will be you, this kind of relationship of smiling on the surface and stabbing in the back, you may turn your face at any time if you keep to yourself. It's a gift to let you come in to play, just be honest as a little brother, I really think I'm on an equal footing with everyone, and I actually want to turn over and be the master and look for death!
Don't look at Taiyu Technology, which has created the arcade game market, so that many electronics manufacturers have more profits, and everyone is very satisfied.
But once a few real giants behind the scenes in Europe and the United States say that they want to kill pigs and eat meat, absolutely no one will stand up and speak for him. Instead, they will polish their knives and forks one by one, put on napkins, serve plates and wait for the meat to be divided - what are you arrogant about a ** molecule.
