Chapter 355: Eighteen Days of Victory (1)
On February 2, at 3 a.m., the final report was returned.
France, five major cities, Carrefour replenished a total of 12 times!
Genesis sales, 58,000 units! GB sales: 10,000 units!
Germany, four major cities, METRO restocked six times, and the final sales volume was 37,000 units! GB sales, 9,000 units!
Japan, the three major cities, is the city with the fiercest battle with GB because ...... This is Nintendo's roots! Their homegrown!
20,000 units sold! GB sales, 15,000 units!
Italy, Genesis sales, 18,000 units! GB sales, 6,000 units!
United States...... United Kingdom...... A record is sent back, a dazzling victory!
GB sales, nowhere surpassing Genesis!
A minimum of five thousand units, double, triple abound!
The highest gap is in France and Germany, which has widened by four times!
The Birth of GB...... Just because there are no opponents.
When a company that moves above the nine heavens and lies still under the earth for a long time strikes with a thunderous attack with a concept that exceeds the current more than 20 years now, in exchange, the whole line of GB collapses!
"It's unbelievable...... Sony, Ryoji Nakabashi, Kotaro Kobayashi, and Katsumi Kumoto look at the report in amazement.
At the time that Nintendo saw, Sony saw almost at the same time.
Nintendo ...... Fiasco!
It has never suffered such a crushing defeat since the establishment of its empire!
Sega didn't bring it to him, Sony didn't bring it to him, the only two times, from the same person, the same company!
"If ......" Katsumi Jiuyuan suppressed the shock in her heart and said in a deep voice: "Within twenty days...... What if he receives the funds? ”
No one answered.
This answer is thrilling!
Once the funds are connected, they will be greeted by another giant rising!
The idea of "impossible ......" is too terrifying, and Ryoji Nakaba pondered for a while, took a deep breath and said, "Until now, there is no follow-up funding. Qin Jun had already used funds that exceeded his profits. I guess he's started mortgaging the company. He...... How could he have such audacity! ”
"Could it be that he is sure that money will fall from the sky?" His slender fingers played with the lighter with a little irritation, and all this time, he was simply annoyed. The disappearance of Mitsui Mingzhong, the fiasco of Nintendo, and the-for-tat confrontation of the Qin Dynasty. The possibility of the rise of giants gave him a very bad feeling.
It seems like...... There's something big I don't know about to happen.
"Wait!" He closed the lighter with a "dang" sound, and his face was already gloomy: "Drag it down!" I don't believe it! He can still play with flowers! ”
"Suspicious tactics! Without money, he can't do anything! ”
On the morning of February 2nd, strangely, neither FAMI nor game criticism mentioned last night's Qin Dynasty's victory over Laoba's director Heaven.
European and American channel dealers are proudly standing on the other side, without a trace of repentance, and it is almost there...... When the curtain comes down on this scene.
As long as the funds can't be connected, the previous qiē is all a mirror!
Countless eyes were staring at the Qin Dynasty.
On February 5, the winter vacation in Europe and the United States officially ended, and students returned to school.
The next day, the Qin Dynasty Genesis console officially broke through the million mark!
On February 10th, the global channel merchants contacted by NEXT were in an emergency, and the inventory is expected to be only enough for 20 days!
On February 13, Genesis officially crossed the 1.5 million mark!
On February 16, the global sales of Genesis exceeded 2 million!
And its opponent, GB, seems to have been forgotten. So far, only 60,000 have been shipped worldwide!
The disparity is huge, but the weird thing is that neither FAMI, nor game criticism, nor any newspapers and magazines have a voice to applaud the Qin Dynasty.
They have already received a notification, which is a joint release from Nintendo, Sega, Sony. The victory or defeat of this console battle must be left behind the 25th!
"It's crazy on both sides...... "FAMITSU's editor-in-chief, leaning back in his chair, let out a long sigh. The assistant beside him asked suspiciously, "Editor-in-chief, what's wrong?" The Qin Dynasty is already winning, and the new first party is about to rise, why are you still in the middle of it? ”
"Rise?" The editor-in-chief smiled bitterly: "This is Nintendo......"
"How can it be so easy?"
"The Qin Dynasty has been in the industry for two years, how many well-known games have been developed? How many people are intrigued by their development capabilities? Why is Nintendo indifferent in such adversity? He couldn't help biting his nails and said coldly, "They're waiting for ......"
"At the end of the month, this battle will be decided! FAMI must not stand in line now! ”
No one applauded, as if the electronic entertainment industry had completely ignored this victory that was difficult to hide, everyone knew that the Qin Dynasty was now one step away from a real victory! It's only one step!
Last...... One-step!
This step is related to whether the qiē he did before is meaningful, whether it is really breaking the cocoon into a butterfly, or making a wedding dress for others.
Yamauchi Pu's face was as solid as a rock, and he was unmoved by the outside world, and personally and word by word went through the recent capital movements of the Qin Dynasty.
He looked up at the calendar, February 17.
"Notify all third parties." Without looking up, he said to the secretary, "Nintendo...... It's a win! ”
"There is no injection of a penny or a yen. The Qin Dynasty shipped three million units worldwide, and now there are only a few hundred thousand left. They don't restock before the 25th, and they can no longer keep up with the global sales speed. ”
"The Ministry of Finance withdrew $70 million and prepared to evaluate the assets of the Qin Dynasty. I suspect that he has now mortgaged the headquarters of the Qin Dynasty. Before Sony makes a move, at least take a stake in the Qin Dynasty. ”
"Contact the Qin Dynasty and the channel providers we may be able to contact around the world. Force them to rush the goods! No order for a day! One day sitting and dying in the Qin Dynasty! Sue them, if anyone dares not to carry it out, Nintendo will immediately erase its qualification to purchase Nintendo goods! ”
"Contact all third parties in Japan and release the news that the Qin Dynasty's funds are about to be disconnected. Give them one last chance. back, or...... Die out! ”
One by one, the phone calls were made to all the third-party headquarters.
"Each ......" Karp was in the air, Kenzo Tsujimoto hung up the phone and let out a long breath. Looking at the ceiling with a smile, beside him, almost all of Capcom's high-level executives were in place.
"We won again." With an unpredictable expression, he slowly withdrew his gaze: "President Yamauchi personally called just now to tell us that the Qin Dynasty's funds are broken. ”
"Any idea what we're going to do now?"
"Nintendo wants to move the fat of the Qin Dynasty, and we must drink some soup as soon as possible. Ministers, the people who are ready to contact the Qin Dynasty, especially the development team, can dig up a few if they can! ”
A man pondered for a moment before he spoke, "President Tsujimoto...... If...... The Qin Dynasty's funds have been picked up......"
"Do you believe in Nintendo or in the Qin Dynasty?" Kenzo Tsuji scoffed: "Do you really think that Nintendo's eyes fell on him during this time?" Sue you, not only Nintendo, Sony, and Sega are all staring at him! ”
"And according to my information, the Qin Dynasty really didn't have a penny in the account! I'm afraid he's got to the point of a mortgage company now! If he can't wait for the profit recovery in the first quarter, he will be overturned by the channel providers who come to pick up the goods from all over the world...... Hehehe. He laughed for a while, and then sighed: "The mall is like chess...... The Qin Dynasty is in front of the scenery, who would have thought that it would fall into hell after ten days......"
Almost at the same time, every third party received a call from Nintendo.
"President Matsuda." In Enix, the secretary carefully said to the president who was looking at the materials, "President Yamauchi personally called and asked us to prepare for the first month of the Nintendo GB conference. ”
Matsuda's sharp eyes flashed, and his lips curled slightly.
It's finally here......
As a core company of Nintendo, he has naturally been greeted by Nintendo. He knows very well that gaining power is only temporary.
"Nintendo's counterattack horn has finally sounded......" he smiled coldly, "Prepare the car, I ask to meet with the president of Nintendo's Tokyo area immediately." ”
"Did you lose...... Hudson, a middle-aged man took the phone, hung it up quietly, and sighed silently: "Qin Jun...... You're still ...... I haven't walked through this hurdle......"
Hong Kong, headquarters of the Qin Dynasty.
"Mr. Qin, it's not that we don't understand you. You must also be considerate of our difficulties! Seven or eight people from all over the world came overnight, all of whom were gathered in the conference room of the Qin Dynasty at this moment: "The inventory of all of us is close to emptying. Expediting is a matter of course! ”
This huge conference table is filled with blondes, brunettes, and people of all skin tones from all over the world. Qin Yuanfeng sat coldly on the main seat and spoke for a long time.
"I remember, our contract is to replenish the stock before March 10th?"
"It happened suddenly." A white man replied lightly: "It's about our credibility." I also hope that Mr. Qin will pick up the goods as much as possible. ”
"Or ......" He glanced at Qin Yuanfeng quietly: "Is the Qin Dynasty no longer without a penny?" Can't pay for the order? ”
Qin Yuanfeng sneered: "How much money did Nintendo give you?" ”
"I don't understand what you're talking about?"
"Then I tell you clearly, the contract, not a day less."
The white man smiled: "Mr. Qin...... If you're really strapped for cash, let us know. ”
Qin Yuanfeng sneered and parted unhappily.
Three days to go!
On the 18th, it was fine.
Nintendo President Urushiro Yamauchi personally appeared on the Fuji TV talk show and read out his decision with a blank face.
"GAMEBOY, it's impossible to fail." He said in his words: "This is a big project that Nintendo has invested a lot of, and it has gathered the efforts of countless people. Of course, we also have the funds to match it. There is no chance that the funds will be disconnected. ”
"GAMEBOY, it's a temporary loss. This defeat will soon pass. The host of the Qin Dynasty is very impressive, however, it faces a serious problem, that is, the lack of funds. ”
According to Nintendo's investigation, the Qin Dynasty's two-year profit will definitely not be able to support his financial settlement until April. He is now facing countless channels of retrieval around the world. And he couldn't come up with a penny. ”
"If there is no money, then there is no finished product. Without a finished product, it will lead to the global distribution of goods that he is now proud of to come to naught. And he is out of stock caused by the market vacancy. Yamauchi on TV smiled very kindly: "I don't think there are other companies other than Nintendo that can fill in." ”
"I think that now, Qin Jun's headquarters in Hong Kong may face the encirclement and interception of major channel providers around the world. Sometimes, it's not a good thing to spread the stall too open. ”
The host hurriedly asked: "So, what does Nintendo decide to do next?" ”
Yamauchi Pu bowed slightly gracefully, and smiled as cruelly as a demon: "I have asked the market supervision department to verify the financial situation of the company in the Qin Dynasty. And, starting today, GB will be available on all major platforms in all countries in Europe and the United States at the same time. Access to shopping malls, supermarkets. At the same time......"
"Three dollars in price reduction for GB!"
Nintendo's counteroffensive horn is blowing in full swing!
Moreover...... took out the price war that the Qin Dynasty simply can't deal with now!
