Chapter 428: Embattled
"Jia Jun, it doesn't matter if you're angry, you can't talk nonsense!" Yamauchi Pu thought that Jia Yapeng was talking angrily, and said with a smile.
"I didn't say anything!" Jia Yapeng shook his head and said, "5000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 However, there is one condition, that is, all Nintendo's channels in North America must be open to me, and all the income after the sale must also belong to me, and Nintendo does not have any right to share! ”
"You guy......" Yamauchi Pu saw Jia Yapeng's serious expression, knowing that he was not lying, this guy really planned to do this.
"Jia Jun, you have to think about it carefully, this is 5 million copies of the game cartridge, if you can't sell it, you will lose 5 billion yen!" Yamauchi said with a frown.
"I've got it clear, so let's do it!" Jia Yapeng stood up, his attitude was very obvious.
"Yes, but in this case, it's not 1,000 yen, it's 10 dollars, and you have to buy it for 10 dollars per game cartridge!!" Yamauchi Pu Road.
"Why?" Boss Jia asked, 10 US dollars is equivalent to 1250 yen, and the price has increased by 4 points!
"Because it will squeeze out our Nintendo's original profits!" Yamauchi said lightly, "Although the number of copies sold now is very small, according to my estimates, the final sales of Pokemon should be around 300,000 copies, and now only 180,000 copies have been sold, so there should be about 120,000 copies sold." ”
The 120,000 copies were sold for $7.2 million, equivalent to 900 million yen. If I give you all the cassette, then the sales of 120,000 copies will naturally be transferred to you, so the purchase price should be increased accordingly, which is very reasonable! ”
"......" Boss Jia really admires Yamauchi Pu, the 120,000 copies that have not been sold have been counted in advance, why is he not counting 1.2 million copies?
Of course, if Yamauchi Pu counted 1.2 million copies, he wouldn't want to give up, after all, as long as he could sell 1 million copies, Nintendo would be able to make a good profit, completely smoothing out the cost.
"Okay!" Boss Jia was too lazy to talk nonsense with Nintendo anymore, so he agreed very simply.
So, Jia Yapeng, on behalf of Daqian, signed an agreement with Nintendo on the spot, and got 5 million Pokemon game cartridges at a price of $10 a piece, and Nintendo will open all channels to Jia Yapeng, and all profits from the sale of channels will also belong to Daqian, and Nintendo will not take any shares.
It is worth mentioning that Boss Jia also specifically proposed that all game cartridges must be shipped from Jia Yapeng's warehouse, so as to ensure that Jia Yapeng can monitor the real game sales.
In this regard, Yamauchi Pu did not have any opinions, and signed the agreement very smoothly, and then Jia Yapeng took the paper agreement and a warehouse of game cartridges, and silently left the Nintendo North American branch.
"President, can you show that Jia Jun can sell all 5 million game cartridges?" Minoru Arakawa crouched behind his father-in-law and asked curiously.
"Of course 5 million copies are impossible!" Yamauchi said conclusively.
"Then why did Jia Jun do such a thing?"
"Young people, there are always times when you are young and vigorous!" Yamauchi smiled disapprerovingly, "Besides, he doesn't need to sell them all, a game cartridge sells for $59, and he has a profit of $49, so as long as he can sell 1 million copies, then the cost can be earned back this time." If he can sell more than 1 million copies, then he will be able to make some money! ”
"Can Jia Jun sell 1 million copies?" Minoru Arakawa asked again.
"Young people need to learn a lesson from reality before they mature!" Yamauchi knocked on the table, "And I think God will bless him!" Yamauchi, a man who never believed in God, said.
"But why do I think this plot is a little familiar?" When Yamauchi was quiet alone, he touched the wrinkles on his forehead, and suddenly realized that this kind of thing of buying all the inventory cassettes didn't seem to be the first time it had happened.
——————————
When Boss Jia came back from Nintendo, Harry Potter had another bad news, that is, there was a new change in the negotiations with Marvel, Ron Pereman had previously pushed the price to the level of $50 million, but during today's negotiations, Pereman suddenly raised the price, this time it had to be $70 million.
As for the reason for the sudden price increase this time, in the final analysis, it is still Boss Jia.
For a long time, there has been a saying in the comic industry that the reason why comics are gradually unselling and no longer loved by readers is because games have robbed a lot of comics market.
After all, a child has so much leisure time, and when there were no games before, comics were very attractive.
But with the advent of more and more fun games, a lot of the time spent reading manga is taken away by games, and then the sales of manga are declining day by day, and finally it will die completely.
This theory is very popular in the entire comic industry, and it was even regarded as a classic for a time, which is unquestionable, otherwise you let all the people in the comic industry blame the decline in comic sales on their own blind paintings?
And this time, the reason why Ron Pereman suddenly raised the price was because the game "Pokemon" was attacked by PETA, and the sales exploded, and the news that the sales were less than 1/10 of Nintendo's expectations were also quickly exposed by the media and spread throughout the United States.
So Ron Perreman proudly told Harry Potter that the game can't be sold, they are going to decline, and the sales of comics will be able to take off again, so Marvel, a company that owns countless classic comic book copyrights, will naturally increase its price, and it will not sell it without $70 million.
"Forget it, you don't have to go to Ron Perreman anymore!" After hearing Harry Potter's report, Boss Jia said lightly.
"Boss! It's useless that I boasted about Haikou, but I didn't complete the task you assigned! Hearing Jia Yapeng's decision to abandon the acquisition, Harry Potter suddenly fell into deep despair.
He failed again, which not only disappointed the new boss, but more importantly, Harry Potter himself was unable to prove his worth, which gave Harry Potter a huge blow.
"It's okay!" Seeing Harry Potter's desperation, Boss Jia patted Harry Potter on the shoulder and said, "I'm still very satisfied with your work."
"That guy Ron Pereman is a bastard, his words are completely fart, even if the sales of Pokemon plummet, it has nothing to do with the overall game industry, he just wants to find an excuse to drag you until your patience runs out, and then he lowers the price to $50 million, and you are naturally willing to sign with him!"
"This bastard, we don't let him dry, he really thinks he can sell potatoes for beef at a price."
"Yes!" Harry Potter nodded, but he was worried in his heart, others didn't know Jia Yapeng's situation, but Harry Potter knew very well that this time Jia Yapeng's 5 acquisition targets, except for the worthless Nvidia, which was successfully acquired, the rest of the acquisitions were all in a deadlock, and this time Boss Jia was afraid that it would really end miserably.
"Boss, if I still fail this time, then I'm willing not to pay a penny!" Harry Potter said to Boss Jia in shame.
"Don't worry, everything depends on tomorrow, tomorrow will be fine!"
