Chapter 365: The surroundings are more profitable

"Ash, how are our game sales now?" Boss Jia set his eyes on Tajiri again.

"President, can you stop calling me that?" Tajiri listened with an embarrassed expression.

Jia Yapeng, a bad person, actually called us poor Tajiri Zhitong shoes like this.

Originally, Tajiri Zhi planned to call the male protagonist in the game Xiao Chi, which was also the name of the original 1st generation Pokemon male protagonist, but Boss Jia had to change the name of the male protagonist to Xiao Chi, which made Tajiri very uncomfortable.

Boss Jia was originally just to pursue his childhood and let the protagonist of the whole version be called Ash, but Tajiri took it for granted that Boss Jia was tossing himself and adapting his name Tajiri Zhi.

Well, in fact, the reason why Ash was called Ash back then did come from the name Tajiri Chi, when the producer of Pokemon decided on the name of the protagonist, because he didn't know whether to choose the name of the male protagonist or the heroine, so he changed a new name called Ash.

Of course, Tajiri is still very grateful for this decision, and it is obvious that this name will become a symbol of Pokemon forever in the future, and he will be remembered by countless players along with this name.

But the problem is, when Boss Jia calls himself Ash, it's really a shame.

"According to the president, so far, the total sales of "Pokemon" have reached 3.42 million copies, of which 2.92 million copies of "Pokemon Red" and 500,000 copies of "Pokemon Green"! Tajiri replied.

"How can there be so many differences between the two versions?" When Boss Jia heard this, he frowned and asked.

"It's Nintendo's pot!" Tajiri said with a wry smile: "When we burned the first batch, I asked for 500,000 sets of each of the red and green versions. But because of the conflict between us and Nintendo, I didn't have time to ask for the same number of prints in the red and green versions. As a result, when Nintendo assembled and burned, it only burned the red version, not the green version, so all the versions sold on the market now are red versions, and the green ones have been sold out! ”

"I've asked Nintendo to burn a large number of green versions as soon as possible!" Tomomichi Tajiri.

"That's ......" Boss Jia touched his nose, and then smiled, "In this way, you can burn a batch of green versions to us separately first, as for Nintendo itself, you can leave them alone and let Nintendo sell the red version first." ”

"Huh?" Tajiri looked at Boss Jia stupidly, and didn't understand what the meaning of Boss Jia was doing this.

But it didn't take long for Tajiri to understand.

A month has passed, and at this time, "Pokemon" has completely swept the entire Fuso, and there are more and more strategies about Pokemon, and various "Pokemon" information and settings have also been unearthed by strong players one by one.

At this time, the goal of the game has changed from passing the national competition to collecting all of their Pokemon, but soon all players found that except for a very few lucky ones, few players were able to collect all the Pokemon, which was very shocking.

So players began to explore the truth, and then they found that there are some pokemon in the game, and the refresh rate is extremely low, such as the fossil pterosaur, such an extremely rare Pokemon, which needs to be fought 10,000 times to be able to meet once.

If that's all there is to it, the players will have to fight desperately.

However, some players soon claimed that they could encounter several Fossil Pterodactyls in a day, and that the carapace and fast dragons had the lowest spawn rates.

This is not scientific!

These players got together and started to discuss, but nothing came out of the discussion, and everyone played the same game, but the refresh rate of the map was different.

Just when everyone was puzzled, someone discovered that the suffix written on the cassette of the two sides was not the same.

One is red, the other is green.

At first, no one cared about this, although many people did wonder why Pokemon had an extra color after its name. Now they understand that it turns out that this refers to two different versions.

"Only by putting together two different versions will it be possible to collect all the pokemon!"

Soon, the news was sent out by the relevant strategy magazine, and this time the children in Fusang all knew why they couldn't collect all the elves, and they felt that they had bought one less.

These players suddenly realized, and then in an instant, the whole market began to explode again.

Those players who had green in their hands immediately went and bought another box of Pokemon Red.

But players with Pokemon Red in their hands are in pain, because it seems that Pokemon Green can no longer be found on the market, which makes many players feel anxious.

However, soon a magazine announced a surprising news, that is, "Pokemon Green", which cannot be bought in the regular way, only in the light, or with the spin-off of the elf simply noodles This derivative product is sold in conjunction with the game cartridge, there is the legendary "Pokemon Green"

Needless to say, the rest of the story is needless to say, anyway, when Nintendo reacted and began to print "Pokemon Green" in large quantities, our Boss Jia's total sales have exceeded 10 million copies, and even the elf noodles have re-reached the peak of sales.

——————————

Without further ado, at the end, Tajiri began to report on the final sales results of "Pokemon".

"Because Nintendo won't give us a share of the entire month of May until June 15th, the only real revenue from Pokemon so far is the 1 million Pokemon cartridges we have sold!"

"These 1 million copies were all sold, bringing us a net income of 4 billion. However, 1.7 billion of them have already been paid to Nintendo in advance, so the real profit that belongs to us is only 2.3 billion yen, and if we exclude the various advertising and marketing expenses we paid, as well as the channel fees for Ito-Yokado, "Pokemon" currently brings us a total revenue of 1.5 billion yen! Tajiri finally concluded.

"Good!" Boss Jia nodded, then looked at Ichiro Honda, obviously, it was time for him to make his finale.

"I'll just say one statistic!" Ichiro Honda stood up and looked at Boss Jia and the others with a little smugness, "Since February 1993, the total revenue of our Daisen Fuso Co., Ltd. has been 50 billion yen!" ”

"What! 50 billion yen, so much" Everyone was instantly shocked when they heard this figure, and Ichiro Honda continued, "First of all, our fist product, Elf Crispy Noodles. ”

"Originally, in this quarter, the sales of elf crispy noodles continued to shrink, and from February to May, the sales of elf crispy noodles in Jehoso were only 5 billion yen, which is less than a fraction of what it used to be!" Ichiro Honda said lightly.

After experiencing a huge profit of nearly 50 billion in the second half of 92 years, the elf was gradually beaten back to its original shape, and became a very ordinary product, no longer the previous crazy rush to buy, and the data in the first half of 93 fell to 1/10 of the previous one.

Of course, even if the total sales volume is only 1/10, 5 billion yen, it makes many traditional coarse confectionery companies drool.

However, "Ichiro Honda began to turn around" From May 1st to June 1st of this year, in one month, the sales of elf crispy noodles reached a new high, and the total sales of this month exceeded 11.2 billion yen! ”

"Holy!" Everyone present, especially Tsuburaya, was almost about to jump. They didn't have much contact with Daqian before, they only knew that the parent company was selling crispy noodles, and then it seemed that they started selling games again.

But they really didn't expect that even noodles could be sold to the level of 11.2 billion yen a month, which is nearly 100 million US dollars in revenue!

"Cut, it's not our credit......" Tajiri muttered, but he wasn't wrong to complain, because it was indeed the Pokemon's credit.

The elves simply launched a new linkage this time, all relying on the Pokemon series of cards, as well as buying Pokemon and giving away foil cards, or drawing special cards, giving away a free Pokemon game event.

All in all, driven by this linkage event, the sales of elf crisp noodles have turned around, and the previous 5 months of 5 billion have become a terrifying sales of 11.2 billion a month.

And judging from the current momentum, I am afraid that the sales volume in June will soar and exceed the data of 11.2 billion, because the craze of "Pokemon" has not stopped yet.

In fact, at this time, the wave of "Pokemon" has just begun, and it is about to enter the hottest period.
