Chapter 332: It's all about a long-term deal
Soon it was not just the drug dealers, everyone found out that something was wrong.
The cards that were very rare and difficult before, now the difficulty has been reduced by more than ten times, especially this time because of the re-listing of the battle handboard, which has led to a large number of cards appearing in the consignment office, and those cards that were rare in the past have basically become cabbage prices now.
In the end, the phantom card fell directly by 1000 yen, and the rare one-star card like the pot of strong desire also fell by 2000 yen, and the only one that did not fall in price, and it rose, about the Black Magician, because this seems to be the only card that has not adjusted the drop rate this time, and it is still very rare, only about a dozen in total, appearing in the consignment shop, and then immediately being bought.
For example, Xuan Xuyuan took the opportunity to buy one for 10,000 yen...... Because it seems that the explosion rate of all the cards has increased, those players who are lucky enough to open the Dark Magus have also increased the explosion rate of the Dark Magus, so they lowered the price, and then the Void Abyss Xuan took the opportunity to buy one.
In this way, Xuyuan Xuan successfully collected all 248 illustrated books, and became one of the few all-illustrated book bigwigs, and the whole person was extremely excited.
However, those drug dealers were not so excited, although they tried to sell the cards in their hands as quickly as they reacted, but as long as the players who basically had a little IQ found that the shipment rate of the cards had changed, and no one bought cards from them anymore, and the price of their cards could only dive all the way, and finally dropped dozens of times.
You know, these drug dealers are basically cards bought at a high price, and the price of these cards has plummeted, and they have all lost their bottom pants, especially some guys who borrow money, or even borrow usury to speculate cards, and their lives are even darker and desperate.
Soon, these drug dealers, who had lost their old money, marched at the door of Daqian Company, denouncing and questioning why Daqian secretly revised the shipment rate, and some people went to newspapers and TV to avenge their grievances, accusing Daqian Group of shamelessness, which caused a stir in society.
However, a spokesperson for Daqian was quick to come forward and admit that they had changed the card's shipping rate.
But the problem is, they never tell anyone in any media, or on any channel, that they will keep a certain card shipped.
Since Daqian has never guaranteed that it will not change the shipment rate of the card, the change in the shipment rate is natural, and there is no obligation to inform.
In addition, Daqian is warning these speculators with bad intentions who try to hype up the cards, "Yu-Gi-Oh" cards are for players to entertain and collect props, and they have never been the target of hype for some criminals.
At the same time, Daqian announced to everyone that the shipment rate of cards may change at any time in the future, and some rare cards may also become mainland goods at any time, and some original mainland cards may also become rare at any time, and Daqian does not guarantee the stability of any probability.
Therefore, any act of manipulating cards is full of risks, and Daqian warns those with bad intentions that if you still plan to hype up Yu-Gi-Oh cards, then be prepared to go bankrupt.
At the same time, Daqian also apologized to ordinary players who spent a lot of money to buy rare cards, but these are necessary measures to combat speculators, please understand, this is to create a harmonious and perfect Yu-Gi-Oh ecological environment in the future.
This incident was later called the poisonous weed cutting incident by the majority of Yu-Gi-Oh players.
After this incident, no one dared to hype a card like Yu-Gi-Oh whose shipment rate could change at any time, and there was a complete lack of speculators in Yu-Gi-Oh's circle.
Although some players have been violated this time, but when they see that the overall environment has improved, and at the same time, some cards that have sold sky-high prices have gradually returned to normal prices, these players have become supportive and understanding, and the official has been supported by all Yu-Gi-Oh players, and the entire Yu-Gi-Oh ecological environment has gradually become better.
However, within the Daqian Group, there are still some objections to this.
For example, Ichiro Honda, at the beginning of April, reported to President Jia with a sad face, "President, our card sales last week have fallen off a cliff!" ”
"Oh, how were card sales last week?" Boss Jia asked with a smile.
"I only bought 3 billion yen!" Ichiro Honda wailed.
It was only sold for 3 billion yen, and many manufacturers who sell toys may remember to kick Ichiro Honda when they hear this.
But in fact, if this result is compared with the previous two weeks, it is indeed a cliff-like decline.
Because in the first week of sale, Yu-Gi-Oh cards sold a total of 20 billion sales, and in the second week, because of the full 100,000 boxes of combat handplates on the market, it further promoted the skyrocketing sales of Yu-Gi-Oh cards, and the sales in the second week reached 30 billion, and the last two weeks together sold 500 billion, equivalent to 400 million US dollars.
You must know that it took three months for the elf to achieve this result, and the Yu-Gi-Oh card only took 2 weeks.
However, from the third week, the sales volume was reported to be only 3 billion yen, a drop of 90%, which directly caused the entire company to start panicking.
In the opinion of Ichiro Honda and others, the reason for such a terrible drop in sales is simply that the company has increased the drop rate of many rare cards, resulting in a large number of players who do not need to spend a lot of money to draw cards to obtain the achievement of the full illustrated card.
In addition, the coffee shop is the official point of sale, and players don't even need to buy card packs directly, and they can buy 200 card sets directly from many players for a few hundred or thousands of yen.
This caused Daqian to lose a lot of money from new players, which further led to a decline in the sales of card packs.
"So what are your plans?" Seeing Honda Ichiro's report, Boss Jia asked lightly.
"Why don't we close some coffee shops?" Ichiro Honda said tentatively.
"In that case, if you say the second sentence again, I'll fire you!" Boss Jia glared at Ichiro Honda, and Ichiro Honda suddenly felt frightened.
You must know that the original president contract was only signed for one year, and now the one-year time is approaching, Boss Jia can fire Honda Ichiro openly, so that Honda Ichiro's income of nearly tens of millions of dollars per month is gone.
"Honda-kun, let me ask you, do you want to do a one-shot deal, or do you want to do a deal for 10 years, or even 20 years, 30 years?" Jia Yapeng asked.
"Of course, it's a business that can be done for a long time!" Ichiro Honda said without thinking.
"That's right, some cards have a very low probability of being shipped, and of course we will make a lot of money for a while, but over time, players will abandon us. Many players who can't achieve the full Pokédex achievement for a long time will give up due to frustration, you know? Jia Yapeng scolded, and Honda Ichiro's body trembled.
"And closing the coffee shop is even more stupid!"
"Anyone will have an exciting period for a game, this excitement period may be a year, it may be half a year, it may even be only three months, or even a month, human beings like the new and hate the old far beyond our imagination, we must find a way to improve the stickiness of users, in order to make Yu-Gi-Oh survive for a long time!"
"What are the ways to improve the stickiness of Yu-Gi-Oh users? There's only the community! ”
"You will eventually get tired of playing alone, but if you have a group of friends who get together to play the game king all the time, it can greatly increase the enthusiasm of the players! And Yu-Gi-Oh Cafe is such a place, it is a place where all players who love Yu-Gi-Oh can gather, as long as these coffee shops are there, players' love for Yu-Gi-Oh will continue!! ”
"Now there are only 100 Yu-Gi-Oh coffee shops, and in the future I will open 10,000 in Jeonfuso!"
"What we want to do is a long-term business, not a one-shot business!" Jia Yapeng's saliva sprayed directly on Honda Ichiro's face, and Honda Ichiro, a guy who is almost 60 years old, didn't dare to lift his head when he was sprayed by Jia Yapeng.
If what Jia Yapeng said was unreasonable, Honda Ichiro would have endured it for the sake of money, but what Boss Jia said was very reasonable, and Honda Ichiro understood it like a Daigo empowerment, which made Honda Ichiro feel even more uncomfortable, it was too embarrassing.
"But!" Boss Jia's words changed and said, "Well, it's not okay to not make money all the time, but let's treat it separately, ordinary players can pursue a full picture book, as for those local tyrant players, they naturally have a place to spend money!" ”
"Also, players will get tired of letting players play the same cards and routines all the time, so we can also design some fresh cards every few months to enrich the players' card decks!" Boss Jia said with a smile, making Honda Ichiro shiver again.
