Chapter 13: The First Business

"All the arcade machines were sold?"

Guan Fei had just come back, and before he could take a sip of water, he was grabbed by Xue Yangyuan's sleeve, and he would not let him go, asking about the results of this negotiation.

"I said Manager Xue, why don't you let me drink saliva and then talk? After an afternoon of saliva with Ms. Fang from Shaw Brothers, my mouth is now so dry that my mouth is about to catch fire! Guan Fei was so entangled by him that he was helpless, so he had to raise his hand and surrender.

"I'll pour it for you, you talk about it first!" Xue Yangyuan was extremely attentive, put down the clothes that flew off, and immediately went to get the water bottle, and he didn't believe it all at his back, "It's really all sold?" All? ”

"Yes, yes, all sold! I said Lao Xue, you have a little ambition, okay! We only built a total of 20 game consoles in ten days, and it wouldn't be a big deal to sell them all, so why are you so surprised? If we sell tens of millions of units in one go, you still make sense, twenty units......" Guan Fei didn't continue, just smacked his lips, and even disdained.

The Shaw Brothers Cinemas chain has 20 movie theaters, all of which are located in prime locations in the downtown area. Among the 20 theaters owned by Shaw Brothers, there are four wholly-owned theaters, seven theaters in which the company has a stake, and the remaining ones are franchised.

This time, Shaw Brothers bought all the twenty game consoles in his hands in one go, and put two at the door of each theater, and there were still two left. After the payment, the assistant in charge of the negotiation added an additional order for 20 units, intending to make each theater have an additional income.

"Look at the one who is proud of you, are your eyes growing to the top of your head now!" Xue Yangyuan has been with him for so many days, and he has a good temper with him, knowing that he is actually very good at talking, as long as he is not talking about work, he often talks and laughs with his soldiers, and does not put on a leadership stand, "Your game console, if it only sells for a few hundred Hong Kong dollars, it will be fine, but your price is nine thousand eight!" Do you know how much money ordinary Hong Kong people earn a month now, which is only 156! Your money for a game console is half a year's salary! ”

He took the water and handed the water cup to Guan Fei angrily.

"I'm asking so high because it's worth it!" Guan Fei gulped in one breath, poured most of the cup into his stomach, and then burped, and then said, "We went to the Lido gate for a trial opening that day, guess what?" There are so many people, one by one rushing to play, in order to compete for the position, those people almost didn't fight! By 10 p.m., we poured 1,207 coins out of the cash box! There are more than 1,150 pieces in the other one! You don't know, at that time, their manager surnamed Zhao had his eyes straight, it is estimated that they looked at it for another day to make sure that this thing was indeed profitable, and then today's assistant Fang would come to us to negotiate to buy the game console. ”

The grand occasion of the first day, Xue Yangyuan was also clear.

That night, Guan Fei and the others came back, opened a heavy sack, and poured out coins all over the ground, which he still remembers vividly.

And the next day, when Guan Fei and the others went to the Bank of China to deposit money, the counter staff was faced with a sack of coins, and the whole person was stupid. It took nearly an hour for the bank to find several people and finish counting the coins. Guan Fei said that this was just one day's income, and when so many coins would be sent for deposit every day in the future, Xue Yangyuan noticed that not only did the counter lady's face become sluggish, but even the corners of the bank manager's mouth twitched.

A game machine can earn more than 1,000 Hong Kong dollars a day, which is faster and more profitable than grabbing it, and it is more legal and safe!

Shaw Brothers bought the game console, it seems that the investment is relatively large, but the investment is also quickly recovered, and this business is definitely not a loss, but a big profit.

Don't look at the box office of a Shaw Brothers movie with millions of dollars, but after the shooting costs, release costs, and staff expenses, they can't make much money. In order to increase income, most movie theaters will also retail small foods such as popcorn and soft drinks.

This little money can be seen, and the arcade machine is a huge profit growth point, and they are even more unlikely to let it go. Forty arcade machines, not to mention thousands of dollars per machine a day, is a few hundred yuan, and it can add dozens or millions to the theater in a month! The arcade machine is placed next to the ticket booth, so that the conductor can take a second look, and there is no additional cost, and all the income can basically be said to be pure profit!

"I said, if the game console is so profitable, why are you selling it? It's better to rent the land in front of the major movie theaters and theaters, and you can make a fortune by relying on this. Xue Yangyuan asked puzzled.

This is a golden rooster that lays eggs, so it was sold, isn't it a pity?

"Can't make it!"

Guan Fei drank enough water, found a chair to sit down, leaned back comfortably, closed his eyes, let his body relax, and waved his hand at Xue Yangyuan. I'm too tired today, the little lady surnamed Fang is too difficult, not to mention shrewdness, but also to pick the door, every piece, every millimeter has to fight with him endlessly, more brain-consuming than a battle.

"Why can't you get it? One day is one thousand and two, ten days is more than ten thousand, and a month is thirty-four and five! Twenty game consoles can bring more than 600,000 yuan of income every month, are you not enough? ”

Xue Yangyuan felt that Guan Fei's mind was a little unconscious, and he couldn't settle the account.

"Lao Xue, your vision is too short-sighted, worse than a woman, for the future market of game consoles, people are more accurate than you!" Guan Fei was so nagging and noisy by Xue Yangyuan that he couldn't rest well, so he had to open his eyes and tell him clearly, "When Assistant Fang negotiated with me today, he took out a statistical table, which showed the income of the past few days.

On the first day, the total income of the two game consoles was 2,366 yuan; the next day, the income was two thousand three hundred; On the third day, the income was more than 2,100 yuan......"

"Ah, there's less people playing?"

"No, it's full, and you have to queue up to play the game. There are no fewer people, but there are more people who can play! Guan Fei debunked the reasons behind the decrease in income, "At the beginning, everyone had never been exposed to video games, and they didn't know how to play their faces, so they were absolute rookies." Most of them almost just touched the joystick and died immediately, and the people behind followed closely behind them to come up and throw coins. The two of them doubled, died quickly, and could earn about three Hong Kong dollars a minute on average.

But after playing for two days, everyone basically got their hands on it: how space monsters attack, how each attack should be dodged, how to fight more efficiently, and players have also figured out the way little by little. It's just that I've never played it, and after watching people play for so long, I also have a score in my heart, and it won't be finished as soon as it comes up.

Video games, to put it bluntly, are a fixed program. Machines are dead, people are alive, as long as you master the trick, the more you play, the better it is. No one has cleared the game yet, but it won't be long before this happens.

After a while, the players have all practiced, and it is not surprising that one coin is cleared! ”

"I see! So when everyone is familiar with it, that is, in normal mode, how much income do you estimate a game console can earn in a day? So Xue Yangyuan understood, it turned out that he was just making quick money.

"Nowadays, the entertainment method is too monotonous, whether it is watching movies or playing cards, the pace is too slow, and people are very receptive to the fast-paced, exciting leisure method of video games. In addition, there are no competitors for the time being, and it is estimated that under normal mode, it can also have an income of four or five hundred a day. After all, there are always not many masters. After playing the video game, the test is the reflex nerve, the vast majority of the reflex nerve can only be said to be average, a few coins clearance is a normal level, and a coin clearance can only be done by a master. Guan Fei explained.

"That's not bad, hundreds of ...... a day"

Guan Fei pushed forward with his palm to stop his infinite divergent thinking: "Old Xue, old Xue, I said that you are shallow-sighted, but you still don't believe it!"

Game consoles make money, we know, other bystanders are fools?

If they were fools, Shaw Brothers wouldn't have taken the initiative to contact us and come to the door to buy! These two are placed at the door of the Lido, and with their influence in Hong Kong, they can protect this piece of fat from being snatched away. Without the shade of the big tree of Shaw Brothers, can we keep it?

How many shrewd people are there in Hong Kong, those big bosses with a lot of tickets in their pockets, and they go around to exploit opportunities to make a fortune. If we are the only one, believe it or not, in less than a month, we will be eaten by others!

Okay, let's change the angle, find someone to watch the field, one place will find four or five old boys to watch the field, ten fields will cost forty or fifty people, and a hundred fields will cost four or five hundred people......, I said big brother, am I here to run a business, or am I here to run a club?

Even if I recruit a few hundred people, there are more people than me! There are so many associations in Hong Kong, and there are hundreds of thousands of gangsters, can I fight hard?

Take 10,000 steps back and say, I won't fight it!

Do you want money to raise people, people will fight for you to live and die, you always have to give your little brother pocket money. If you are injured, you have to pay for bandaging, if you are disabled, you have to pay for your family, and if you die, you have to pay funeral expenses...... you should run a club!

Fight and cut people every day, the police don't need to do it?

It's a miasma all day long, should public opinion consider it? What should I do if a player is scared away? Seeing that the business is booming, the rent of the movie theater will not rise......

Okay, I've admitted all of this, so after all the expenses, how much can I earn in a month?

100,000, or 200,000?

I've worked so hard to earn this little money?

I sell game consoles, one makes three or four thousand, and selling one hundred a month is three or four hundred thousand, which is more cost-effective, think for yourself! ”

Xue Yangyuan was a little dizzy from his tirade, and felt like this, but something was wrong, and he couldn't summarize it for a while.

Guan Fei didn't care what he thought, as long as he could stop making noise, he just closed his eyes and recuperated.

Selling game consoles is certainly not as easy to make money as he said, and the difficulty is not easier than opening by himself.

Production capacity, sales, and counterfeiting and piracy are several major problems that must be faced.

However, there is no need for him to explain these difficulties to Xue Yangyuan in detail, first tell him to faint and rest for a while.

"By the way, there are still things I haven't told you......" Xue Yangyuan thought for a while, couldn't figure it out for the time being, remembered that there was something he forgot to tell Guan Fei, and hurriedly said, "Didn't you ask me to tell that matter before, there is a reply in China......"

"What reply?" As soon as Guan Fei heard this, he didn't rest, and immediately opened his eyes and sat up straight, staring at Xue Yangyuan tightly.

"I sent someone from China to talk to you about ...... in detail."
