Chapter 59: New Cards
Jia Yapeng is really busy.
As soon as the development of four-wheel drive vehicles was solved, new problems and troubles arose.
"It's falling! Lao Jia, it's falling!! As soon as Jia Yapeng arrived in Beijing, Chen Liren, who came to pick him up, came over and wailed like a mourner.
"What fell? Did you buy stocks? Jia Yapeng pushed Chen Liren away.
"Sales, my sales in North China have plummeted, I'm so miserable!" Chen Liren cried even more sadly.
"How so? Didn't you tell me last month that sales in North China reached a new peak in August, with shipments reaching 4 million cases? Are you going to swallow half of my yield alone? Why is it falling so much now! Jia Yapeng said.
"Yes, but I just got the data for September, and I only sold 2.8 million boxes in September, which is 1.2 million boxes less, nearly 1/3, isn't this a plunge?" Chen Liren wailed.
"Then why don't you compare it to March? You couldn't even sell 10,000 boxes in March! Jia Yapeng rolled his eyes and said, "You are insatiable!" ”
"No, I feel that this is a trend, next month I don't even have 2.8 million boxes, next month it will fall below 2 million boxes, this curve has begun to decline!" Chen Liren said with a frown.
"I didn't think you're quite sensitive!" Jia Yapeng smiled bitterly, "Even if you're right, it's not the entire North China region, and the sales volume in South China has also begun to decline." August was the peak of our sales, reaching a record-breaking 8.8 million cases. ”
"But I've already got the sales data in South China in September, plus your 2.8 million boxes in North China, that's only 5.8 million boxes left!"
"I estimate that in the case that we don't do anything, we don't need to wait for next month, and the sales volume of the entire North China region will directly fall below 2 million boxes next month, and by 92 years, it is estimated that there will be about 1.2 million boxes left. Sales are likely to remain around 600,000 cases over the next three years! ”
"By the way, these 600,000 boxes are not your sales in North China, but the sales of the entire China!" Jia Yapeng said lightly.
"What, there are only 600,000 boxes left in China, so won't I even have 300,000 boxes in North China!" This time, Chen Liren is really going to jump to his feet.
He has experienced a wonderful life of 4 million boxes of sales per month and a monthly income of up to 8 million, and now you tell him that he will fall back to less than 300,000 boxes, and Chen Liren will directly beat people.
"This is normal, because the first part of "Water Margin Hero War" has been broadcast on CCTV last month, and the popularity of the animation has begun to gradually dissipate, and because of the Water Margin Hero Card, there are naturally a lot fewer children who come to buy crispy noodles, this is normal, these are all in my expectation, what is surprising!" Jia Yapeng said calmly.
"Then hurry up to the second part!" Chen Liren immediately urged: "As soon as your second animation comes up, our sales will definitely go up." ”
"How can there be such a panacea!" Jia Yapeng is a white eye again, "And the second part has just begun, about seven or eight episodes, and it will take ten episodes to do it next month at the earliest, and it will be broadcast on CCTV at that time, otherwise I don't have any inventory at all, don't worry!" ”
"Why did you do seven or eight episodes? I remember you told me back in June that the first part was all done. It's already October, and it's been three months, which is enough for you to finish the second part completely, why are you only doing seven or eight episodes now? Chen Liren was keenly aware that there was a cat in here.
"Secret!" Jia Yapeng's expression when he spoke made Chen Liren want to punch him.
"Well, in fact, even if it is done now, there is no need to rush to broadcast it at this time. Do you think that the second cartoon alone will attract children to continue to buy our Water Margin hero cards? ”
"Brother, you are a smart person, you don't really think that such a huge drop in our sales is because the cartoon is finished!" Jia Yapeng said with a smile.
"......" Hearing this, Chen Liren was silent for a while, "Brother, we are really facing a big crisis, after all, there are only 108 Water Margin heroes, except for the few hero cards you designed, such as Song Jiang, Lu Junyi, and Wu Yong, these three are too difficult to collect, many children have already collected the Water Margin hero cards!" ”
"Of course, most of the kids don't have the money to collect all of them, but they just need to have a few of the hottest hot cards, and now a lot of kids are forming a card swapping alliance in their schools and swapping cards with each other!"
"Many children don't need to buy crispy noodles anymore, which is the real reason why our sales of crispy noodles have dropped sharply!"
"Brother, I was worried that you would be satisfied with your ambitions and be dazzled by your grades, so I wanted to remind you in a cryptic way, lest you be too inflated. I can't imagine that you have already seen through this, then you should already have a way to deal with it! After Chen Liren finished speaking, he looked at Jia Yapeng with anticipation.
"I can't imagine that the person who knows me best is you!" Jia Yapeng laughed, then took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Chen Lidao, "Brother, look at it, you are the second person to see this card besides me!" ”
"Song Jiang! Sent to me? Chen Liren was first shocked when he saw the characters, you must know that in the design of Jia Yapeng's pitfall, Song Jiang is actually a well-deserved SSSR-level card, and the rarity is explosive. It is said that the Song Jiang opened in the entire North China region together is not more than 10 sheets, this is a full 6 months, more than 8 million boxes of sales accumulated ten sheets, even Chen Liren's hands, there is no Song Jiang, I can't imagine that Jia Yapeng actually printed a Song Jiang directly to himself, does this guy want to rely on this to bribe himself?
"Who sent you, I'm asking you to take a closer look, what is the difference between this new card and the previous card!" Jia Yapeng kicked Chen Liren, Chen Liren glared, and then began to take a closer look.
Then I found that this new card is more beautifully printed than the previous Water Margin hero card, the size of the card is larger, and the characters in the picture are more refined.
But these are not decisive changes, the most decisive change is the change in the overall layout of the card screen.
The original Water Margin hero card, the characters occupy the entire front, and only the ranking, nickname, and name of the hero are printed in the lower left corner, and nothing else.
But this time the Water Margin hero card, although the characters still occupy most of the front, but only most of it, the image of the hero is limited to a box above the card, and the entire box occupies about 2/3 of the card's area.
Directly above the box, there are five more stars
Underneath the box, there's a lot of text.
First of all, the attack and defense of this card, and then below is the introduction of the card's skills.
For example, this Song Jiang card in Chen Liren's hand
【
Five stars
Tiankuixing, Hubaoyi, Song Jiang
Attack Power: 800
Defense: 2000
Skill: Timely Rain: When Song Jiang exists on the chessboard, all heroes will increase their defense by 100 points per turn, and the player will recover the total number of heroes' qi and blood. When Song Jiang is sent into the Lingyan Pavilion in any way, he can sacrifice any hero on the field, or 500 health points of the player, so that he can continue to exist on the board!
】
"You've reworked all of these cards and made them into in-game cards!" After carefully studying it several times, Chen Li spoke.
"Not bad!" Jia Yapeng nodded, "I plan to start the next animation from the start of the broadcast, and start to fully release the new version of the cards and crisp noodles, all the original versions are sealed, and they will never be produced again!" ”
"I see, you're planning to let those children follow you to update it, wrap up the old card, and buy your new card again, right?" Chen Liren suddenly realized.
"Hmm!" Jia Yapeng nodded.
"It's a good idea, but I'm afraid it won't work too much!" Chen Liren pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "In fact, there is another reason for the decline in sales, that is, in addition to the children of those rich people, many other children have been emptied of their wallets by you, and they have no money to buy new cards." ”
"If it's just a new card face and more ability introductions, the children won't buy it, they will use the old cards before!"
"That's right, so there's something I'd like you to help with!" Jia Yapeng said.
"What's the matter?"
"I'm going to do a national competition! How about you help me get through the approvals! Jia Yapeng's words almost didn't let Chen Liren fall off the car.
