Chapter 11: Into the World
Lin Yan held the investigation report with a smiling expression on his face, and Chiba Yuki looked at his smiling face and couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Originally, she was tired enough to not only finish her studies but also cope with work every day, but now the video game league, which is the main competitor, has suddenly come back to life with a new product after a series of declines. This couldn't help but make her a little anxious.
Moreover, their product that came back from the dead is still the product that Lin Yan said, the one who doesn't care about it.
After letting herself go, the other party achieved such brilliant results, which really made her feel a little angry.
Lin Yan knew that Chiba Yuki was in an anxious period during this time, he put down the investigation documents in his hand, and also put down the somewhat unbeaten smile on his face, he raised his head and said, "Senior Sister Chiba, are you only allowing yourself to succeed, and don't want others to succeed?" โ
Chiba Yuki listened to Lin Yan's words, and the anger in the anger groove subsided a lot. She thought about it, indeed, as Lin Yan said, even if they took any action at that time, it was impossible to stop their animation production and the design of the new pet machine.
And developing a similar product is not a very feasible solution. Because, time is not on their side, and the opponent runs one step first, which means that he will always be one step faster.
Chiba games were able to rise in a short period of time, not by catching up from the field of video game arcades, but by relying on the emerging field of home game consoles.
Those manufacturers who imitate Chiba games and launch similar home game consoles, not to mention that none of them can reach it. Ten percent of Chiba games' achievements are one percent of sales. Few companies can achieve it. That's the advantage of running first.
Latecomers want to surpass the first runners, in addition to their own strong ability. It is also necessary for the first runner to keep making mistakes, keep dying, and finally play himself from the first place in the industry.
With Lin Yan here, it is not easy for Chiba Games to make any big mistakes. After all, with decades of game-related memories, he can always avoid dangers before they happen.
Of course, Hayashi is in order to keep Chiba Games from becoming a fragile company. There were some minor mistakes, no matter how obvious they were, and he didn't correct them. If you commit it, you will commit it, and it is better to commit it now than to commit it later. Anyway, making such a small mistake doesn't hinder the overall situation.
In the past few months, the company's main focus has basically shifted away from Japan, and the focus at this stage is in Europe. How about Europeans, who have not yet received too many video game baptisms, accept the concept of home game consoles. And it's not easy to fall in love with this new form of entertainment.
However, there is always a way to do everything.
Lin Yan also didn't know how influential Chiba Yuki's family was. The royal family of the empire on which the sun never sets has degenerated to the extent that it can do things for some money.
Anyway, Her Majesty the Queen in an interview. "Unintentionally revealed" that he was playing a video game console from Japan recently, and he had a lot of fun.
Regardless of whether the British royal family still has a role in politics. At least among the British masses, the queen still has at least one superstar influence.
This kind of upper-level PR is outstanding. In less than a month, Chiba Games has completed its strategy for the British market.
Large and small stores, all can see the figure of the red and white machine, but the little difference with the local red and white machine in Japan is that the British red and white machine is a little more expensive to manufacture. This is certainly not because Chiba games are the conscience of the British, and the quality of the machines given to the British is better. Rather, the red and white machines sold in Europe are all equipped with an encryption chip.
In addition, the socket of the cassette has also changed a little. In this way, the interests of Chiba Games and many third parties can be secured. Prevent game cartridges that were released early in Japan from entering the European market through certain gray channels.
Of course, this kind of behavior called zone locking has become a symbol of insatiable greed in the eyes of players.
However, the number of players who know this is only a minority, and for most players, as long as the red and white machines are cheap and there are enough fun games.
Although the economy of Britain is much more developed than that of Japan, the television used by the people at that time seems to be much more backward than the television of the Japanese people. It's not because the British people don't have the money to buy a TV.
It's because the UK not only costs money to buy a TV, but also has to pay an annual TV tax. This method of collecting the TV tax is based on whether the color displayed is black or color, and the size of the TV.
As a result, some of the lower residents still use small twelve-inch black and white TVs like those in Lin Yan's bedroom.
Fortunately, the red and white machine has very low requirements for TV,Even if it is a black and white TV,It can also display the picture wellใ The sales of red and white machines have therefore embarked on a fast track in the UK.
In other countries of Europe, it is a little more difficult to open up sales than in the UK. None of this is a problem, though. As long as there are enough interests, there will always be people who will seek cooperation.
Japan is too far away for these people in Europe to see, but Britain is so close, and the heat of the red and white machine has detonated their enthusiasm.
They are looking for door-to-door cooperation. And the approach of Chiba games is that as long as the negotiation is completed, those who come will not refuse.,Whoever wants to act as an agent for the red and white machine can be.ใ However, the only requirement is that all machines must have one and only one Chiba Games logo.
Although this approach to finding an agent has reduced a lot of profits, it is also worth it. Don't look at Europe, it seems that they are all relatively similar, but the differences between each country are really big, not only here is the capitalist camp, but there is also the red camp influenced by the Soviet Union.
The red camp, of course, did not accept Japanese entertainment, and they were very resistant to this cultural invasion. And these countries in Western Europe are also complicated. In order to avoid trouble, it is better to choose the proxy mode.
This model seems to be convenient, so some people have suggested that it should be implemented in the United States as well. This proposal was vetoed by Lin Yan, and compared to Europe, the United States is a large whole. If, in such a big whole, there is an agent, he grows up, it is definitely not a good thing for Chiba Games and Red and White Machine.
"The U.S. market must be directly operated by Chiba Games!" Hayashi even skipped Chiba Yuki and said. (To be continued......)
