Chapter 212: Four Turtles Beat Superheroes
Hanyu was supposed to return to Silicon Valley after the show, spending another day in Las Vegas for other reasons.
When he returned to Amerika, Michael Katz told him that negotiations with Best Buy were almost done.
"In addition to the stores we have already identified in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York, the electronic Poké Ball will be calculated from the official Best Buy store, and will not cooperate with other retailers for four months, and the discount promotion fee will be fully borne by the Best Buy store, and we will bear half of the publicity cost, and the payment settlement period is 35 days, and ......"
Michael Katz spelled out the terms that were finally negotiated.
The next minor conditions are not important, the first ones are the key.
Michael Katz seized the opportunity of the Best Buy Group's eager transformation to help Genie Entertainment achieve huge benefits.
"Mr. Katz, you've done a very good job." Hideki Hanyu said with satisfaction.
"However, in order to cooperate with Best Buy's distribution, the release time that has been confirmed will be postponed to early July." Michael Katz said.
"It's okay, the cooperation with Best Buy is more important."
"It's a pity that in order to reach a cooperation, the shipment price is a little lower than expected, and our gross profit for an electronic pet is only nine dollars at most."
"If the market is good enough, in four months, other dealers should be able to make more money there."
"The retail price has been set, and even if it is raised, it will be a maximum of one or two dollars."
"Mr. Katz, we should be thankful that at least the tax rate is not as terrible as it used to be compared to Maori."
Hideki Hanyu made a joke.
"yes, we're in for a good time."
Michael Katz also laughed when he heard this, he has been in the retail industry for many years, but he has experienced the terrible tax rate of the Cold War.
In order to solve the growing problem of stagflation in America in the seventies, Reagan came to power and proposed various means to boost the economy.
Tax cuts are one such means.
The Elf Entertainment America branch is just in time.
Through R&D investment, business splitting, etc., relying on the help of professional accountants, various tax avoidances are carried out.
For example, the project team in the R&D center, which was originally responsible for the development of graphics chips, was separated again and established 'Genie Vision'.
Then, with the help of policies that encourage venture capital, the profits of Genie Entertainment are used to invest in new companies.
For these twists and turns, Hanyu Hideki naturally can't play with it.
But just like in Neon, he doesn't know that he can pay someone who understands to help.
At a time when everyone is eating policy dividends, he naturally can't miss it.
It's just a pity that he doesn't know about the high-tech companies born in Silicon Valley in the eighties.
Those who are familiar with the Internet companies of the 90s.
Therefore, it is clear that the Amerika policy encourages venture capital, and he also has a large amount of money in his hand, but he does not know who to invest in.
Hideki Hanyu and Michael Katz talk about the Best Buy Group.
He also called Satoshi Iwata and asked him to help him recruit professional artists to prepare for the release of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".
Next, he did not interfere in the management of Elf Entertainment America.
Instead, he led Tajiri and Tsumori Ken to plunge headlong into the R&D center.
While helping the two understand the design of the Game Boy handheld, they also explained the design ideas of the "Pokémon" game.
These two are worthy of being the creators of "Pokémon", and Hideki Hanyu seems to many outsiders to be a bit of a counterintuitive way of thinking.
The two can not only accept it easily, especially Tajiri Zhizhi, and even draw inferences after a little study.
After a few days of getting along, the relationship between the three gradually became familiar.
Tajiri Tomoshi and Kamori Ken gradually discovered that Hideki Hanyu, the chairman of the famous writers, was actually very easy to get along with.
It's not at all like those old-school entrepreneurs in Neon, who like to put on a show and talk about seniority.
When it comes to game design, whether it's right or wrong, you'll be open to it.
When others have suggestions, they will listen patiently, and even if they don't agree, they will give reasons.
He never used his identity to force others to accept his ideas and ideas.
Understanding, yet respectful.
Not too intimate, not deliberately keeping a distance.
It does not emphasize identity, but it has an extraordinary personality charm.
Getting along with such a boss makes Tajiri and Kashimori feel very happy.
It's a pity that such enjoyable times are always limited.
In less than a week, I fully understood the design of the Game Boy handheld and mastered the game design outline of Hideki Hanyu.
Tajiri and Ken Semori, along with two other Neon software programmers, are about to return to Neon.
Officially started the development of the first generation of Pokémon game.
Before leaving the hotel, they prepared to say goodbye to Hideki Hanyu.
A few people came to the top floor of the hotel where they were staying, in front of Hideki Hanyu's suite.
I knocked on the door, and it didn't take long for Hideki Hanyu to open the door.
"Aren't you guys on the afternoon plane? Why haven't you left yet? ”
Hideki Hanyu asked curiously.
"Let's say goodbye to President Hanyu." Tajiri said, the leader.
"Then I have something here, you can help me bring it back."
Hideki Hanyu finished speaking and invited a few people into the suite.
The size of the suite is not large, except for Hideki Hanyu's bedroom, which is the living room and balcony outside.
The hotel has four floors, and it was the afternoon when a few people entered the room, and they saw that the afternoon sun had dyed the balcony and living room golden.
And in the living room and balcony covered with gold, there are many miscellaneous things.
Easels, drawing boards of different sizes, palettes, empty paint tubes and brushes thrown at random on the floor.
If there is no mess, it is the manuscript paper full of words and pictures.
I casually looked at it and found that there was everything on these manuscript papers.
Some are clearly picture book manuscripts by Hideki Hanyu.
There are also graphic papers such as game design.
There are also drawings of turtles with weapons, which resemble original manga manuscripts.
And on the easel on the balcony, you can also see a small painting.
Moonlit nights, snow, owls, and figures holding hands.
Tajiri knew that after Hideki Hanyu came to America, he would be busy in the hotel if he had nothing to do.
didn't expect that in a short period of time, the other party would come up with so many things.
I guess after finishing my work, I've been busy creating since I returned to the hotel.
It's no wonder that after returning from Las Vegas, the spirits were not very good.
On the floor in the middle of the suite's living room, an open suitcase can also be seen.
It seems that Hideki Hanyu is also packing up his things and preparing to leave.
"Is President Hanyu leaving?" Tajiri asked curiously.
"Invited by the Neon Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there is a cultural exchange event in New York tomorrow, and tonight's plane."
Hideki Hanyu answered questions while selecting what he wanted to give Tajiri from the manuscript paper.
He was so busy here in Silicon Valley that he almost forgot about the cultural exchange if he hadn't been contacted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs himself.
After looking for a while, he handed the two documents to Tajiri Tomo.
"Please give these two documents to Kitahara-san."
Tajiri didn't ask what the document was, and directly agreed, "Don't worry, President Hanyu, I will hand it over to President Kitahara myself." ”
Inside the file bag are two game design plans.
The first is "Doctor Mario", an extension of "Mario Bros. and a reference to Tetris".
The second is the famous bloody series of pioneers, "Bloody Hardcore".
Divine Studios, under the leadership of Takashi Nishiyama, continued to develop Kung Fu 2.
After Mythical Studios and Fantastic Studios jointly developed Kung Fu: Death Break, they are working on a new game plan, but a large number of developers are idle.
Hideki Hanyu decided to find something to do for the two studios.
The previous "Mario Brothers" was developed by Yuji Horii's Mythology Studio, and this time "Doctor Mario" was also handed over to Mythology Studio.
"Hot Blooded Hardcore" was naturally handed over to Toshihiko Nakago's magical studio.
Handing the documents to Tajiri, Hideki Hanyu continued to pack his things after sending the two away.
By the way, I took down the small painting on the easel and carefully put it away.
This is what he prepared for tomorrow's exchange meeting.
To the outside world, it is said that it is the manuscript of the creation of "The Owl Under the Moon".
After packing up, Hanyu stretched out and yawned a little tiredly.
I didn't come back from Las Vegas in a bad state, but after returning to Silicon Valley, I was busy working during the day and creating at night, and I didn't have much rest.
Also fly across the North American continent at night.
I thought about the cultural exchange activities that will start tomorrow.
Sure enough, as he thought, leaving Las Vegas was the beginning of the busy day.
After a six-hour flight, it was midnight when Hanyu arrived in New York.
After a comfortable night's sleep, he contacted the person in charge of the exchange activity early the next morning and sent the sketch over.
After all, the organizers didn't release the pigeons.
The first day was just a simple exhibition of works, and all he could do was make appearances, promote them, and give interviews to the media.
The picture book market in Europe and the United States is quite mature, and Hideki Hanyu has just won the award, and under the publicity of many parties, it is also somewhat famous.
The most important thing is that among the cultural celebrities who came to communicate, Hideki Hanyu is the most capable in terms of appearance.
Therefore, not only the print media likes to interview him.
NHK TV even had a live broadcast with him.
In short, it was in América, but it was hard to brush the heat on the neon side.
In particular, NHK took a lot of pictures of American book fans signing autographs around Hideki Hanyu and sent them back to Neon.
Satisfy the vanity of many neon people.
Hideki Hanyu's fame in Neon has risen a few points again.
On the second day of the auction, the original manuscript of the "Owl Under the Moon" prepared by Hideki Hanyu was auctioned for $174,000.
Although it was later learned that the buyer was an unknown neon merchant.
But Hideki Hanyu still feels a little exaggerated.
He casually painted a small painting, and he himself felt that it was a somewhat perfunctory work.
It was able to sell for so much money.
This gave him the idea of changing careers to become a painter.
Of course, that's what you think about.
He certainly knew that the price was unreal.
On the one hand, it is due to the identity of the buyer, and on the other hand, it is due to the influence of the award-winning works.
However, the proceeds from these auctions will not be directly given to him, but will be donated to UNICEF.
This is also one of the purposes of this cultural exchange activity.
The donation of real money, and active participation in activities, coupled with the identity of Hideki Hanyu as a famous children's picture book author.
Of course, the Foundation will not simply let him go.
On the spot, Hideki Hanyu was awarded the title of National Goodwill Ambassador.
Give the lowest ambassador title to hang.
It seems to be telling Hideki Hanyu that if you want to become a regional goodwill ambassador and an international goodwill ambassador, then work hard to participate in the event and upgrade.
Hideki Hanyu faced the interview, of course, expressing various honors.
At the same time, he said that he would actively participate in various children's public welfare activities.
After all, as a celebrity, this kind of thing has to be involved in more or less part.
I finally finished the two-day event.
Michael Katz called again, and Pokemon officially went on sale in the United States.
In order to cooperate with the Best Buy Group, it took so long.
However, after hearing the news, Hideki Hanyu did not rush back to Silicon Valley as soon as possible.
Instead, I found a few stores in New York that sold electronic Poké Balls.
Those small stores that took the distribution channel of Elf Entertainment to get the goods were arranged before.
There are very few publicity methods in these stores, at most they hang promotional posters or something.
But when he came to a Best Buy store.
But I saw all kinds of propaganda advertisements pasted on the wall and hung up.
There is even a special TV in the store, and three TV commercials are shown in a row.
And rows of electronic Poké Ball bodies are also placed on the most conspicuous shelves.
Even as soon as he walked in the door, a service staff came up to him and sold him an electronic Poké Ball.
It can be seen that Best Buy is really optimistic about the electronic Poké Ball, and the transformation opportunity to expand its business is all on the electronic Poké Ball.
Hideki Hanyu took a brief look at it, and the feedback from buyers of the in-store trial was good, but the sales were not good.
But considering that Poké Balls can be played online, this unique social design once played to its advantage.
The follow-up propagation and playability are definitely stronger than Tuoma Gezi.
In addition to relying on Best Buy's store publicity, the America branch of Elf Entertainment will naturally not do nothing.
After going public, more than $1.5 million was spent on publicity alone.
TV commercials, outdoor print ads, and the news media hype about e-life.
The staff up and down the sales department are all working hard.
And what about Hideki Hanyu.
After returning to Silicon Valley from New York, I entered the hotel and continued to work together.
A few days later, he arrived at the headquarters of Elf Entertainment America with the results.
Michael Katz Office.
"Did you send the sales statistics report from Best Buy?" Hideki Hanyu asked.
"There is only an approximate number, no more than seven thousand." Michael Katz said.
"So little?" Hideki Hanyu frowned.
According to Best Buy's report, more than 170 stores have Poké Balls on their shelves.
So much publicity money before and after is sprinkled out.
It took a week to sell so much, isn't it an average, a store sells about six units a day.
I'm used to the sales of millions a week like Tuoma Gezi.。
This sales figure made him a little difficult to accept.
"Including our channels in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York, there is a good chance that the sales volume will exceed 10,000 units."
Michael Katz said.
Hideki Hanyu thought to himself, 10,000 units is a good start.
The sales volume is 300,000 US dollars, which is simply a pitiful amount compared to the money he invested.
Seeing this, Michael Katz continued to explain patiently.
"Our product is something that America has never had before, to give customers time to get acquainted, and online social networking needs to reach a certain scale to be reflected, the market characteristics of America and neon are different, and electronic products are more affected by the impact of Atari."
Hideki Hanyu can only believe Michael Katz's statement, "It seems that we can only continue to wait." ”
"There is no product that can determine success or failure in a week, our marketing department has been doing surveys, and consumer feedback is still very good, so we can't panic, do our own things according to the plan, and just wait for word of mouth to spread."
After Michael Katz's words were finished, Hideki Hanyu handed over what he had accomplished in the past few days.
"I discussed with Iwata before, and decided to use a manga that is more suitable for the America style to drive the popularity of Pokémon manga, this is the work I prepared, Mr. Katz, you can take a look first."
Michael Katz took it, it was a folder, and when he opened it, he saw that there was a thick layer of manuscript paper.
The cover features four turtles with weapons in hand, and the name Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Looking closely, he found that it was a comic.
The story of four turtles mutated by scientific experiments and living in the sewers of New York City under the guidance of Master Mouse, fighting the evil Bigfoot.
The four turtles have likable personalities and witty stories, and Michael Katz unknowingly reads them.
But what made him uncomfortable was that Hideki Hanyu only drew the story of the first two episodes.
The follow-up is all comic book story scripts.
"It's a very imaginative story, Mr. Hanyu, your creative ability is really amazing, but it's a pity that you don't draw a little bit."
Michael Katz said as he put the folder down, "Mr. Hanyu asked Iwata to recruit professional artists for this manga. ”
"Yes, does Mr. Katz think this comic will be a hit?" Hideki Hanyu asked.
"No one can be sure that the manga will be popular until it is released, and I don't think I like this fun style enough, and I believe my children will love it too."
"In that case, then I'll do what I want." Hideki Hanyu got up and prepared to go to Satoshi Iwata.
It was Michael Katz who said, "Mr. Hanyu, please wait. ”
"Anything else?" Hideki Hanyu asked.
"Game Base magazine has introduced funds from academic publishers according to your requirements, and if Mr. Hanyu wants to increase the popularity of Pokémon with this manga, he can completely distribute it nationwide through ame base and through the channels of academic publishers, and if the manga itself is used to attract readers, the spread speed is still too slow."
Michael Katz gives advice.
"I see." Hideki Hanyu replied.
Academic Press, one of the world's largest English-language publishers.
The publishing house is responsible for the distribution of the entire Harry Potter series of books in America.
It's a pity.
The Harry Potter series he has only seen movies and doesn't know much about the original books.
Otherwise, if you can get this IP, there will be another hen that lays golden eggs.
The thought flashed away, and it was not taken to heart by Hideki Hanyu.
He was not a greedy man.
There are so many memories in my head, except for what I need, I have never thought of keeping it all for myself.
Otherwise, let go of your hands to copy, and it will not be a problem at all to produce more than ten or twenty literary works a year.
Even picture books, I used to create more diligently.
Now that I'm making more money, I'm gradually becoming a salted fish.
The editors who urged the manuscript at the Shogakukan were about to be shut up by him.
After finding Satoshi Iwata, he handed over the manga story script to the professional artist he had recruited, and began to execute the plan.
Like the neon model, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was also licensed to the newly established 'TMNT Studio' to create.
Since Hideki Hanyu has already finished creating the story of the first two episodes, there is no need to wait for the progress of the studio.
So the first issue of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles manga magazine, which bundled Pokémon, was released in the second week after the Poké Ball was released.
With the help of "Game Base" in the academic publishing house, it began to be distributed nationwide.
Along with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the animatronic pet Pokémon survived the second week of sale.
Although compared to the sales in the early 10,000s in the first week, the sales in the second week have increased.
But only 34,000 units were sold
Best Buy Group plus Genie Entertainment America's channels in three major cities.
Millions of dollars in advertising.
It took half a month to sell more than 40,000 units.
Sales are in the early 1 millions.
It seems to have doubled, but the problem is compared to the publicity cost invested by the two companies, as well as the huge scale of publicity.
The sales results are simply miserable.
For a time, Genie Entertainment and Best Buy Group became a laughing stock in the industry.
Especially those retailers who have been in contact with Genie Entertainment before, they are glad that Best Buy Group has helped them find their way.
Otherwise, if you replace them, it will be even worse.
In the face of such a situation, there are also strange voices within the Best Buy Group.
In particular, many directors on the board of directors have been critical of Blatter Anderson, who promoted cooperation.
Although Blatter Anderson strongly argues, he emphasizes that the consumer feedback for Poké Balls has been very good, and sales are steadily increasing.
Unfortunately, the pitiful sales, compared to Best Buy's huge investment, made Blatter Anderson's argument very unconvincing.
At the critical moment when the directors demanded to stop the cooperation immediately and stop the loss in time.
The chairman, who has always been very optimistic about Bratt Anderson and promoted him all the way from an ordinary salesman, gave Bratt Anderson support and reluctantly allowed the cooperation to continue.
However, both the chairman and Blatter Anderson understand that if the sales of the electronic Poké Ball cannot be increased.
The next time those people on the board of directors attack again, they can't hold on any longer.
At the same time, there is some pessimism within the Elf Entertainment America company, although it also has some pessimism because of poor sales.
But compared with the Best Buy Group, the top management of Genie Entertainment is still more optimistic.
Michael Katz judged from consumer feedback that Poké Ball was a sure success.
Commanding the entire sales department in a timely manner, carrying out various publicity work as planned.
As for Hideki Hanyu, he doesn't worry about the specific work.
Michael Katz is confident in sales.
He is confident in the IP of "Pokémon" and the highly acclaimed electronic Poké Ball.
Besides, even if he jumps up and down in a hurry, it will not play any role except that it will affect the mentality of employees.
So he simply turned his attention elsewhere.
The first is the manga release of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Unlike the tepid early days of the animatronic Poké Ball.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was an instant hit with manga fans upon its release.
The first printing was 50,000 copies, and it was sold out in just three days.
Then another 100,000 copies were printed, and four days later they sold out again.
In one week, 150,000 copies were sold.
Although it is not as good as those top comics, in today's era of the America comic market is sluggish.
The fact that a newborn comic can have such sales is enough to make the industry look sideways.
Many people in the industry are analyzing the reasons.
They found that at a time when comics were becoming more popular in dark and violent styles, pleasing the adult market.
The witty and humorous story style of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", as well as the character of the four turtles as if they were ordinary high school students, seem so unusual.
It is this kind of alternative that has contributed to the good sales of "Enduring the Turtle".
If Hideki Hanyu imitates the mainstream painting style from the beginning.
It is necessary to compete with giants like DC and Marvel for inherent adult comic book readers.
The development model is the same as that of the previous life "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", which leveraged the market little by little, and it took a year or two to gain a firm foothold.
But now this kind of witty and humorous story, the character of the four turtles like middle school students, gives teenagers a strong sense of substitution.
found another way to bypass the competition with the giants and opened up the market that belongs to the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".
After "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" got off to a good start.
The sales of electronic Poké Balls have not risen but have fallen.
In the third week, only 27,000 units were sold in the United States.
The pressure on Bratt Anderson on the board of directors of the Best Buy group has once again increased.
Again and again, Blatter Anderson began to fall into self-doubt, whether his judgment had been wrong.
Poké Ball is not an electronic product that has a good reputation, but no sales.
Not only the Best Buy Group, but even the employees of Genie Entertainment America began to panic.
Even if Michael Katz is still reassuring, it is still difficult to hide the poor sales.
Huge investment before and after, once the electronic Poké Ball failed.
No one can guarantee that Genie Entertainment will not go out of business like other companies.
Now that the Atari shock is raging, everyone can no longer afford to toss.
No one wants to lose their hard-earned stable job.
At this critical moment, Hideki Hanyu's gaze turned to neon.
Eri Kitahara reported to him that Nintendo's channel alliance 'Chuxin Club' made collective efforts.
Family Computer host.
It was officially released.
The FC red and white machine that occupies an indelible place in the history of the game.
It's finally here!
Even if the game "Mario Bros. " was taken away by Hideki Hanyu.
But in Nintendo's first game in his previous life, there was no "Mario Bros."
"Donkey Kong", "Little Donkey Kong", plus "Popeye".
Helped FC host sales exceed 100,000 in the first week.
On the Osaka Stock Exchange, Nintendo's stock price skyrocketed.
Then he received a call from Eichi Jimbo.
On the phone, Eichi Kamibo yelled at Hideki Hanyu, "Boss, it's crazy!" ”
"I know, let's start the clearance according to the plan."
Hideki Hanyu's voice was calm.
"This has to be cleared?" Even if it was promised that Hideki Hanyu would carry out the plan.
But look at the accounts he operates to make billions of yen a day.
Eiichi Kamibo is still a little difficult to let go.
Of course, Hideki Hanyu knows that after Nintendo's stock price rises, it will not only continue to be stable, but will also pay various dividends in the next two years.
But that didn't mean anything to Hideki Hanyu.
He doesn't want dividends, he wants a lot of liquid money.
And since the beginning of America's strategic plan, Nintendo has been his biggest opponent.
At this time, holding the other party's stock is intended to make yourself soft-hearted?
And he also knows that in a few months, Nintendo will recall all consoles because of the quality of the consoles.
At that time, the stock price will fall slightly.
If you don't hurry up and clear the warehouse, it will be difficult to run by then.
"I know the boss, and I'll do it according to the plan."
After receiving the assurance of Eichi Jimbo, Hideki Hanyu ended his attention to Neon.
The FC host has appeared, no matter how jealous he is, it's useless, just do his own thing according to the plan.
He naturally knows about the decline in sales of electronic Poké Balls in the third week.
But in the face of this situation, he is also powerless, and can only maintain the same attitude with Michael Katz.
And personally came forward to reassure the employees, assuring that no matter what the sales of Poké Balls were, Elf Entertainment America would not shut down.
This gave the employees a little peace of mind.
At this time, the story of the first issue of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" also ended the second week of the sales period.
Due to the good sales in the first week, the academic press stepped up its promotional investment in the second week.
Eventually, it helped Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sell to rise again in the second week, reaching 250,000 copies.
After two weeks of proliferation, the story of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is finally starting to catch on among young people.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book magazine also broke into the national sales charts for the first time and began to attract the attention of the media.
Fast forward to the third week, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles begins to release a new second installment of the story.
Of course, the first issue, which still has sales, is also being released at the same time.
After two consecutive weeks of sales, Academic Press continued to increase its resources to promote Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
The media became curious about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and made various reports.
In addition to not competing with mainstream comics for the adult market, focusing on young readers,
And with their unique story style, they have gained a good reputation among them.
Influenced by the teenage group, adults also noticed this manga.
Accustomed to watching the dark style of fighting and killing, and suddenly changing their tastes, adult comic fans also find it quite interesting.
And then.
And a miracle happened!
Reprinted three times in a single week!
Taken together, the two issues of the manga have created a terrifying sales of 760,000 copies!
Four little turtles pressed DC and Marvel's superheroes to the ground and beat them violently!
The New York Times even drew a scene of four turtles beating up a group of superheroes on the front page.
This directly led to the end of July, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" became Americaka's hottest topic.
Everyone was talking about the four turtles who were like the boys next door.
Teenagers imitate the dress of four turtles.
Adults laughed at the plot.
Even those martial arts halls in Chinatowns around the country saw the opportunity and launched a training course on the four turtles that are good at weapons.
Faced with such a situation, Michael Katz was a little confused.
Didn't you say that the manga was meant to help Poké Ball promote Pokémon's popularity?
How did you become like this yourself?
Those toy dealers with dog noses have already called to consult cooperation.
After all, nominally, TMNT Studios is still under the banner of Elf Entertainment.
Even Blatter Anderson euphemistically said that it was really impossible to develop an electronic pet with four Ninja Turtles.
Even if you don't research and develop, just let out the rumors, and then give a monopoly sales cooperation intention.
He can also account to the Board of Directors of the Best Buy Group.
But Blatter Anderson didn't dwell on the issue for long.
Because with the fourth week of the electronic Poké Poké Ball sales rollup.
He knew he didn't need to find a reason to explain it to the board.
The purpose of Hideki Hanyu's original release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
It's just to bundle and promote "Pokémon".
Although the two manga styles are completely different, there is no doubt about the excellence of the Pokémon manga.
After watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, readers will inevitably flip through the Pokémon manga that comes with it.
And as long as the comic fans read it, they will still find it very interesting.
After that, I couldn't help but become interested in the electronic Poké Balls developed based on Pokémon.
Then I found out that the price of this thing is not high, but after twenty-nine dollars, it is easy to get parents to agree to buy one.
It's not an Atari video game anyway.
Eventually when more and more people are buying, add the people who bought before.
The unique online battle social network starts to exert its power.
Get your own pet and find a friend with a Poké Ball to connect with.
Friends are of high rank and can't be beaten.
Then work hard to get a pet, level up, and find friends to play again.
My friend's Pokémon sprite has evolved!
The attack effect is different, and it still can't be beaten.
Then move on to pets, fight, and work to level up.
Raising and raising, gradually also cultivating some feelings.
Some people want different Pokémon elves, and they are reluctant to reset the elves they have kept for a long time, so they simply beg their parents to buy another one.
Anyway, it's only twenty-nine dollars.
Even children from wealthy families, in order to make up a total of twenty-four Pokémon Pokémon Pokémon Balls for red/green Poké Balls, will directly buy twenty-four Poké Balls.
Moreover, the owner of the Poké Ball, when playing a cultivation battle, will naturally attract more people to join.
And the more people around you play, the more people you will attract.
That's it, Best Buy's fourth-week sales summary report.
The sales of electronic Poké Balls directly broke through the 100,000 mark!
Then the time goes into the fifth week.
The first two issues of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles manga continued to sell well.
And what about the animatronic Poké Ball?
Just look at the queue in front of each Best Buy store.
Stock!
Stock!
Still out of stock!
In the fifth week of its launch, sales of the digital Poké Ball doubled again.
210,000 units sold in a single week.
It directly collapsed the logistics of the Best Buy store.
Faced with such a situation.
Best Buy Group and Genie Entertainment America were all cheering.
The Best Buy Group has taken the first step towards a successful transformation.
Elf Entertainment America is not the same.
Michael Katz was not only happy, but also urged the neon headquarters to speed up production.
Because according to the current situation, the first batch of Poké Balls may only last for two weeks.
Now.
It's August.
Hideki Hanyu, who finally put his mind at ease, returned to Tokyo after spending almost two months in America.
Thank you for the tip
