The Christmas holidays have brought the whole of America to life, and the oppressive atmosphere that had been in the city due to the economic depression seems to have disappeared in an instant.

Everyone was immersed in a sea of joy.

At the same time, all game manufacturers are joining in the carnival.

Almost every game maker has released their latest game today, and some have more than one game, just for this Christmas carnival.

Li Hua's "Super Mario Bros." is naturally among the second ranks.

But of all the games, the most anticipated and high-profile is Atari's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.

Not only developed by Atari, but also with the blessing of this huge IP, before the release, countless people have been looking forward to it.

Of course, during this time, the promotion of "E.T. Alien" was also quite well done, and it can be said that a huge amount of money was spent.

This is also Atari's current management method, which does not spend money on the game that is made, but on publicity.

Li Hua and Huo Ya arrived at a game cartridge sales point, and they watched the people come and go, most of them discussing "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial".

"Dahua, when will our propaganda begin?" Hoya asked.

To Huo Ya's surprise, this time Li Hua still did not rush to promote their game.

Li Hua said: "Don't worry, take your time, now our funds, compared with other game manufacturers, can't be compared at all, we can only wait for a suitable time." ”

Indeed, not to mention anything else, in terms of the game's publicity funds, Li Hua belongs to the lowest level.

Li Hua now only has $100,000 left in his hands, and this is all the publicity expenses.

He needs to wait until the right time, otherwise the $100,000 will not even be able to splash a wave now.

Hearing this, Huo Ya said, "Okay, our money is indeed a little small. ”

"Look, somebody bought our game."

Saying that, Huo Ya excitedly pointed to a place, Li Hua looked over, and saw the two boys picking up their game and looking at it, and then hesitantly took a cassette tape.

However, for a long time, only this one plate was sold, and the two had been watching this place for a morning, and their "Super Mario Bros. " only sold five sets.

Most people choose to buy "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" in the first place.

Li Hua didn't say anything about this, after all, he was ready in his heart.

This is also a normal situation, after all, now there is no word of mouth, and if you want to publicize it, it is good to be able to sell it.

However, Li Hua believes that it will get better and better, after all, the quality of the game is here.

Even if there is no publicity after that, just by word of mouth, he believes that the sales of the game will rise steadily.

At this time, Huo Ya was comforting Li Hua instead, "Dahua, don't worry, this is just the beginning, and it will slowly get better later." ”

Huo Ya was worried that Li Hua was under too much pressure, after all, he gambled on Li Hua's entire net worth this time.

Li Hua smiled: "I'm not in a hurry, don't worry." ”

In the next two days, Li Hua and Huo Ya were mostly staring at the statistics of some salesmen.

During this time, Li Hua did not go home, but just made a phone call to go home.

Their family doesn't pay much attention to the Christmas holiday, but only cares about the discount promotions during this time.

For this section RB body does not have much cold.

"Dahua, "E.T. Alien" has sold 800,000 copies, such a bad game, it actually sells so well." Huo Yaman said unconvinced.

In three days, the sales of "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" sold very well under the strong advertising campaign of Atari.

In the past few days, Li Hua naturally also bought a set to see how this game is.

After playing, I do feel that this game is very bad, and it is completely two games from the previous Atari promotion.

If you don't prepare yourself mentally in advance, the first feeling after playing this game is extremely disappointed, and the second feeling is anger!

This is the anger of being deceived!

In fact, there have been some voices of condemnation in the past two days, but they have not attracted much attention for the time being.

After playing this game, Hoya felt that such sales were a joke.

Li Hua said indifferently: "What's the matter, don't forget, people have already thrown out 20 million US dollars in publicity." ”

"This sales volume is not enough to return to the cost, not to mention the price at which they buy the copyright."

Hoya nodded: "Yes, after all, a game as bad as Custer's Revenge was able to sell 100,000 copies before, so it seems not surprising that "E.T. Alien" can sell 800,000 copies. ”

Li Hua said: "That's pretty much what it means, being able to sell so much is because of publicity, and it is estimated that there will be a good show to watch later." ”

Li Hua has actually been waiting for this opportunity, which still needs to be brewed now.

After all, it is not the Internet era, and the speed of information transmission is far less than in the future.

It is only when the customer's anger brews to a certain point that it is truly terrifying.

"Don't talk about that, look at the sales of our game." Li Hua said.

Huo Ya said: "We have sold about 5,000 sets today, which is already a very good result." ”

"It is estimated that after the Christmas holiday, the 50,000 sets you ordered can really be sold."

This is also what surprised Hoya.

On the first day, they sold less than a thousand cartridges.

By the next day, they had already sold 2,000 copies of the game.

Yesterday was the third day, and the data came out, and almost 5,000 units were sold.

Some merchants have already started to pick up goods from them, urging them to hurry up and deliver them.

And this also made Li Hua finally breathe a sigh of relief, because these were completely the result of word of mouth, and he did not do publicity.

However, such sales are ultimately due to the Christmas holiday and everyone's desire to consume. The hope is very strong.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have sold so much.

Li Hua said: "50,000 sets? It's not enough to sell, Hoya, you can customize some game cartridges again, and make another 50,000 sets this time. ”

"As for the money owed for the time being, you can show them our data, and I believe they will not refuse such a business."

Now that the market has responded, Li Hua will naturally prepare in advance.

Although there is no money now, after all, the payment has not been settled, but he believes that the factory will give them credit, after all, the sales are here.

Huo Ya was a little hesitant when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he looked at today's data again, and didn't say much, and went out directly to start contacting the factory.
