Chapter 358: Yamauchi Pu Weifu's Private Interview
"You bastard, have you passed on my orders!" In Nintendo's chairman's office, a person was being scolded by Yamauchi Pu for a while.
This person is the director of the Paradise channel department, and after Yamauchi Pu's temper was over, the director said aggrievedly, "I have indeed passed on the order, no bookstore is allowed to sell game cartridges that are not released by Nintendo, otherwise we will cut off the supply." ”
"I don't know why, they said they would supply it in bookstores across the country!"
The director was indeed very aggrieved.
"It's strange, do these bookstores dare to rebel en masse? Yamauchi frowned, because of the huge profits of Nintendo's game cartridges, so the bookstore is very obedient to Nintendo.
Nintendo doesn't allow them to sell cartridges for games that aren't approved by Heaven, and they generally don't go against it.
Of course, some bookstores may go against Nintendo's intentions, after all, as long as Jia Yapeng gives enough money, then the bookstore will not care about Nintendo's ban.
But the problem is that the newspaper advertisement clearly says that bookstores across the country will be listed at the same time, which makes Yamauchi very puzzled, do bookstores across the country dare to go against his Nintendo's intentions?
Then this is really a big problem, this is a super earthquake!
So Yamauchi immediately ordered the supervisor to find out the meaning of each bookstore.
As a result, on the second day, the director came to report that the major bookstores were very obedient and promised that they would never sell any game cartridges without Nintendo's permission.
This makes Yamauchi Pu very inexplicable, does Jia Yapeng dare to publish false news in the newspaper?
Just when Yamauchi Pu felt puzzled in his heart, the 20th finally arrived.
On this day, Yamauchi, wearing sunglasses and a mask, slipped out of the Nintendo building alone and ran to the door of a bookstore two blocks away from the company, intending to see for himself how things were going.
Yamauchi Pu first pounced on the bookstore's game cartridge sales area, Yamauchi Pu went around the entire sales area, and indeed did not find any Pokemon game cartridges, which made Yamauchi Pu breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that his territory is still there, and the bookstore still does not dare to go against his will, they do not have the courage to sell Pokemon.
So the question is, why did Jia Yapeng see such an advertisement in the newspaper?
Just when Yamauchi Pu was puzzled by this, three or four children rushed over and asked the boss loudly, "Boss, do you have any Pokemon game cartridges for sale here!" ”
At this moment, Yamauchi pricked up his ears.
"No, we don't sell cartridges for this game!" The boss shook his head.
"Whew!" Yamauchi Pu breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
The children's faces showed disappointment, and they muttered, "No, the newspaper clearly says that it will be sold in bookstores across the country today, is this a lie to us?" ”
"Ahem!" The owner of the bookstore coughed, and then said lightly, "Although we don't have Pokemon for sale, our bookstore has a book activity recently, and if you buy a book, you will give away a game cartridge, the name seems to be called Pokemon." ”
"Really?" The children exclaimed.
"yes, I don't believe you're looking here!" The old book pointed to a pile of books that looked like a small mountain and said, and the children immediately pounced, only to find that these were covered with a layer of plastic bags, and on the back came a box of game cartridges with a somewhat rudimentary packaging, on which the words "Pokemon Red" were written, and the two things were tied together with a strap.
This is the legendary bundling, and Fuso is the birthplace of bundling, many products will be bundled with some small toys, or props and the like when they are released, to increase the sales of goods, which is a very common sales method in Fuso.
This is nothing new to children.
But the crux of the matter is that it's normal for you to bundle a toy worth a few yen or a dozen yen with a book, but if you bundle a game cartridge worth 3,999 yen and the price itself is six times the price, this is very exaggerated.
"Boss, how do you sell this book?" A few children hurriedly asked.
"It's not expensive, 3999 a copy!" The boss said with a smile.
It's really not expensive, the price of a game cartridge is 3999, and now it comes with a book worth 499, which is certainly not expensive.
Sure enough, the children smiled when they heard this, told them about the yen they had prepared a long time ago, and each picked out a copy and bought it.
And at this time, Yamauchi Pu's expression was already a little blue.
One after another, in half an hour, Yamauchi Pu saw with his own eyes that more than 20 players had bought the bundle with the game cartridge one after another, and these players came directly to ask the Pokemon at the beginning, and then happily took the game cartridge and walked together, which made Yamauchi Pu's expression more and more uncomfortable, and the whole person was about to collapse.
Soon, another customer came to the door.
"Boss, I want to buy a new one, what is it called the one from Sword Art Online!" A customer said.
"Hmph, I finally came across a special one to buy, I asked you to bundle the game cartridge, you 3999, how can you sell it!" Yamauchi Pu cursed in his heart, and then saw the boss take out a book from behind and give it to the customer and say, "Here you go, 499 a copy"
"Damn! There are actually two versions prepared! Yamauchi Pu was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood at this moment.
But that's not the most important thing that makes Yamauchi vomit blood.
Just when this customer who came to buy it was about to pay for it, he suddenly found that the packaging was more exquisite, and he immediately frowned and said, "Boss, you obviously have better packaging there, why don't you sell it to me?" ”
"Oh, that's a special edition, and it comes with a game cartridge that costs 3999, are you sure you want it?" The boss said with a smile.
"Game cartridges? What game cartridges? The customer asked curiously.
"I think it's called Pokemon!"
"Oh,It's the game that has been very popular in the newspaper recently.,It's only 3999 for a book and a game cartridge.,It's obviously the price of that one that's more cost-effective!"
"Boss,I want that special edition.,I just can't find a game to play.,I'll see today.,This game is not as fun as the newspaper blows!" The customer said with a smile, and then bought the special version and went back.
By the time he left, Yamauchi's face was already like black charcoal, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Boss, please take these off the shelves immediately!" Yamauchi Pu jumped out and said to the boss with a black face.
"Who are you?" The boss raised his head and looked at Yamauchi like a fool and asked.
"I'm a marketing supervisor for Nintendo!" Of course, it is impossible for Yamauchi Pu to say that he is the president of Nintendo, but to hang himself up as a market supervisor, and then said sternly, "According to the contract between our Nintendo and major bookstores across the country, you are not allowed to sell games in bookstores, and games that are not allowed by our Nintendo, otherwise Nintendo has the right to remove all game cartridges from the shelves and ask you to compensate!" ”
"Baga, you're sick!" The boss scolded directly: "Which eye did you see Lao Tzu selling game cartridges?" What Lao Tzu sells is, you Nintendo manage the heavens and the earth, can you still manage Lao Tzu to sell!! ”
"But you've got a game cartridge in there!"
"That's with the included game cartridge, what we sell ourselves is, don't bully us for not understanding the law, the law says, the gift attached to any commodity does not affect the value and nature of the product. So what we sell is, there is no breach of any contract, please get out of here immediately, or I'm going to call the police! ”
"How can it be sold for 3,999 yen!" Yamauchi couldn't help but exclaim.
"Is there anything wrong with the price of a piece of snowflake beef in Wagyu that is comparable to the price of 20 pieces of rice beef? People can sell as much as they like, do you care? ”
"......" Yamauchi Pu was completely defeated.
