Chapter 414: Pokemon is coming to the United States
Becoming a model, or going further to become a Hollywood star, this is not Ivanka Ivana's dream, otherwise she would not have gone to Wharton School, and she would not have become a great senior vice president in the future, let alone a senior position in the State Department of the United States for a time, becoming a real official.
In fact, there are many people who believe that Ivanka Ivana in the future is a woman who really has the potential to become the first female president in the history of the United States.
So Ivanka Ivana's real interest and wildness lie in business and politics, but because she has a rather bad relationship with her father now, she has never really had the opportunity to participate in some business activities.
Now Jia Yapeng, a billionaire-level figure, invited her to serve as a business secretary, although this is only temporary, but it still makes Ivanka Ivana yearn for it very much, so Ivanka Ivana has shown even greater enthusiasm than before.
"Hmm!" Even Boss Jia was a little shocked by Ivanka Ivana's enthusiasm.
"Boss, what's our next mission?" Ivanka Ivana asked curiously.
"Accompany me to the launch ceremony of "Pokemon" in the United States!" Boss Jia said with a smile, and then took Ivanka Ivana to the headquarters of Nintendo's rice country branch, and today is the day when "Pokemon" will be released simultaneously in rice and Europe.
"Oh, dear Mr. Yamauchi, it's like not seeing you for a day!" At the door of Nintendo's rice country branch, Jia Yapeng and Yamauchi Pu hugged warmly.
"I miss you too! Jia Jun! Yamauchi Pu also gave Boss Jia a warm hug, and Ivanka Ivana looked at the elderly Fuso man in front of her in shock, he was actually the legendary Yamauchi Pu, the chairman of Nintendo.
In the United States, especially among the young people of the United States, Nintendo's fame can be described as thunderous, and everyone knows it, and no one knows it.
After all, now the children of the entire United States have been completely conquered by Nintendo's game consoles, and in this era when the computer game Xiaohe has only shown its sharp corners, Nintendo represents the fun and dreams of all children.
And Ivanka Ivana's formative years are basically Nintendo's formative years in the United States, especially with the 84 years, Nintendo's biggest competitor in the United States, the Atari game console, because of the collapse of the ET incident, which led to Nintendo's complete domination of the entire North American and European markets.
If in Fuso, Sega is barely able to compete with Nintendo in the market, then in the United States and Europe, no game console manufacturers dare to compete with Nintendo, and Nintendo has de facto monopolized the entire Western game console market.
This is also an important reason why Boss Jia has to endure disgust and shamelessness, and desperately want to send "Pokemon" to the Nintendo platform, because if it is not supported by Nintendo, "Pokemon" will definitely not be able to reach the level of the next generation, and at the same time, it will not be able to realize Boss Jia's final plan.
Of course, Ivanka Ivana didn't know this, she just looked at Yamauchi Pu with admiration, the man who controlled the dreams and happiness of countless children.
"Jia Jun, this is ......" Yamauchi Pu felt Ivanka Ivana's eyes and asked with a smile.
"Oh, this is my business secretary!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
"Jia Jun is really blessed, no matter where he goes, he is accompanied by a beauty!" Yamauchi Pu patted Jia Yapeng on the shoulder, and then introduced a thin man beside him to Jia Yapeng and said, "Introduction, his name is Minoru Arakawa, and he is the general manager of the North American branch!" ”
"Long admiration! I've admired the name for a long time! Jia Yapeng complimented.
However, this is not a compliment, because Boss Jia has indeed admired Minoru Arakawa's name for a long time.
In the eyes of outsiders, Minoru Arakawa may just be the son-in-law of Pu Yamauchi, and later lost to Satoshi Iwata, who is an outsider, when he competed for the successor of Nintendo, and was a complete loser.
But these people didn't see that Yamauchi Pu threw Minoru Arakawa alone to the United States, and threw it into the market that originally belonged to Arida, and they didn't see Minoru Arakawa developing the entire market step by step, becoming bigger and stronger in North America step by step, and finally taking advantage of the trend of ET aliens, he successfully toppled the weak giant of Arida.
At this moment, Nintendo's total performance in the North American market is about three times that of the domestic market, which can basically be said to be the credit of Minoru Arakawa, but including Yamauchi Pu, I don't see it.
Or maybe Yamauchi Pu saw it, but he didn't want to admit it.
"Hello Mr. Jia, I have been playing your Pokemon for more than 100 hours, this is really a great game, and we are really lucky to be able to join us in this game!" Minoru Arakawa warmly shook Jia Yapeng's hand and kept praising "Pokemon", until Pu Yamauchi on the side couldn't help coughing, Minoru Arakawa reacted, and stood behind Pu Yamauchi with some gaffes.
But then again, "Pokemon" really deserves such praise as Minoru Arakawa, because the stamina that "Pokemon" has shown in Fuso is really terrifying.
Boss Jia left Fusang in early July, and it is now mid-October, about three months later.
And in the past three months, the sales of "Pokemon" continued to rise in Fuso, creating 3 million horror copies in the whole month of July.
I thought this was the limit, but in August, after the news of the hidden elements of "Pokemon Green" came out, the sales in August actually exceeded 4 million copies, of which 3 million copies were players who repeatedly purchased "Pokemon Green".
By September, sales had declined, but there were still 1.5 million sales.
Finally, by mid-October, Pokemon had sold a staggering 12 million copies in five months after it was released, making it undoubtedly the number one selling game in GB history.
Even with the original GB sales, they have increased by 1 million, and these 1 million GB sales are even more important than 10 million Pokemon sales in the eyes of Nintendo.
Because this means that Nintendo has 1 million more users, and these users will definitely continue to buy game cartridges in the future, which will bring Nintendo a steady stream of revenue, and also expand the market, so that Nintendo's supremacy is unshakable.
So now "Pokemon" is already Nintendo's treasure, and under the pen of many Fuso media, "Pokemon" has been on the throne of the first game in the 90s, and at the same time, it has also suppressed the rival Sega to the point of breathlessness, dying, and really dying.
While making Yamauchi proud, he also attached more importance to the release of "Pokemon" in the rice market, and even did not hesitate to go to the country to attend the press conference in person, in order to ensure that "Pokemon" could achieve excellent results in the rice market.
You must know that according to the traditional law, the performance of the rice market can often reach about three times that of Fuso, because the price of game cartridges in the United States is often about twice that of Fuso.
For example, this time "Pokemon", the local price of Fuso is 3999, which should be 30 US dollars when converted into US dollars, but in the end, the price in North America is 59 US dollars a piece, so it will directly double the price.
But it doesn't matter, what the people of the United States have is money, and this money is nothing to the people of the United States.
