27. Bold ideas
These are all relatively subtle, and some media newspapers, which have always been bold and open-minded, directly use other games as metaphors, and compare the game "Super Mario Bros." to gold!
These are the results of Li Hua's spending, but the money spent is much less than he imagined.
Originally, Li Hua thought that the 100,000 yuan he prepared at the beginning would at most be able to attract the attention of others, after all, the money was too little.
For example, the promotion cost of the game "E.T. Alien" has been smashed into 20 million, 100,000 yuan, and it is really nothing.
But the truth is beyond his imagination, because now Atari has its own traffic, and the money spent is much lower than he expected.
And the effect is surprisingly good!
Now everyone is very disappointed with the games on the market, and after being tortured by countless bad games for several years, there is finally a classic and good game that people will naturally like.
Of course, at the beginning, everyone didn't quite believe the newspaper reports, after all, the previous "E.T. Extraterrestrial" propaganda was much better than this, but what about the actual effect?
However, the quality of the game "Super Mario Bros. is here", and I am not afraid of these at all, as long as someone buys it, not to say that I like it 100%, but at least 90%.
The other 10 percent won't be hated even if they don't like it.
After all, compared to those previous games, this game can be said to be completely crushed in every way!
You know, even after three years of gaming winter, Nintendo has revitalized the American game market with Super Mario Bros.
……………
"Crazy, crazy, just crazy." Huo Ya rushed into Li Hua's office, his tone full of irrepressible excitement.
As soon as Li Hua saw this situation, he knew that it was good news.
"What's wrong?" Li Hua asked, handing him a glass of water to slow him down.
Huo Ya took the water cup and drank it down, and then said excitedly: "Now our company's phone is about to be blown up, and they all say that they are out of stock, and those players also call often, which greatly delays our work efficiency." ”
This can be said to be a happy annoyance, and players are willing to call, except that the game is too poor, or the game is too good to meet their appetite.
Now it's definitely the case behind it.
When Li Hua heard this, he immediately said: "I'll apply for more phones now, and in addition, you can see if there are enough manpower, if it is not enough, recruit people directly." ”
Huo Ya said: "Well, I'm here to tell you about this, in addition, I feel that 100,000 sets are no longer enough, and I may need to make more cassettes." ”
Li Hua said: "Leave this aspect to me, and I will arrange it." ”
After communicating with Huo Ya, Li Hua also began to arrange some things, and then walked out of the office and saw that all the office areas had become very lively.
Originally, the house rented by Huo Ya was not big, but now some new people have been recruited, so it is a little crowded at this time.
The key is that everyone is busy with their feet not touching the ground, and Quina and these people are phone calls one after another, and their mouths have never stopped.
Seeing this scene, Li Hua was naturally very happy, because these represent success!
However, Li Hua also saw some shortcomings, that is, the need to replace large places.
Immediately, Li Hua asked Horace to come over.
He doesn't have time to do it now, he has a lot of things to do.
"You go and rent a larger office area, preferably renovated, and you can move in in a few days." Li Hua said.
When Horace heard this, he immediately said, "No problem, I'll do it." ”
Now that Li Hua's career is thriving, he is naturally happy.
Not to mention what happened after that, for now, the return he got has exceeded his investment.
Li Hua has never been a stingy person, and he has never given a lot of money.
Horace helped him a lot during this time, and Li Hua naturally gave him a lot of money in return.
…………
Li Hua sat at work, looking at the newspaper reports about the two games, and there was gradually a sharp light in his eyes.
He really didn't expect such publicity to work so well.
Today is the fifth day of official promotion, and during those five days, Super Mario Bros. sales have begun to continue to grow.
From the first day of three days of cassette, to today it has reached 8,000 sets.
This is beyond the peak of the Christmas holidays.
At the peak of the Christmas holiday, more than 6,000 sets of game cartridges were sold.
Since the effect is so good, Li Hua also has a bold idea.
In fact, this is also because he knows very well that this is the last chance, once he can't grasp it, then he needs to develop slowly in the future and slowly establish a reputation.
Although everyone has gradually become disillusioned with the game, it has not yet reached the point where there is no idea at all.
The size of the game market is also slowly shrinking, not disappearing all at once.
So now is Li Hua's best chance.
And once this opportunity is missed, then when everyone is already disappointed in the game, Li Hua will do everything with half the effort.
That night, Li Hua called everyone for a meeting, including Quina and the front desk operator.
After all, there are not many people in the company now, and there are some things that they also need to be prepared for.
"First of all, thank you for your dedication and efforts during this time, I won't say much if you have any extra words, and you won't sleep less in the bonus you deserve." Li Hua said.
As soon as these words came out, there was a round of applause in the slightly crowded conference room.
Although everyone is very tired now, when they hear the news, they are excited again, because they know very well that their boss is not a pie.
The bonuses promised to them have already been sent to them.
Except for Hoya, who got the most, everyone else was more than $7,000!
That's a lot of money, enough to keep them working hard, especially in this time of economic depression.
Some of the sisters who were pulled over by Quina were also excited at this time, because they also saw the prize money that Quina received.
At this time, they are also going to get bonuses, naturally very happy, and at the same time feel that it seems really right to come to this company, although they are tired, their voices have been hoarse these days, but they can see the exact return!
After Li Hua waited for everyone to be excited, he said: "Next, I have a bold idea, and I also need everyone's support. ”
Everyone didn't speak, just looked at Li Hua with bright eyes, although he joined the company for a short time, Li Hua has created so many miracle-like things in such a short period of time, which has made Li Hua establish a certain authority in their hearts.
They all believe in Li Hua.
