Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

   Chapter 224 North America Millions

  ‘SFC, the most worthwhile high-tech product for the American people. ’

   This is a slogan.

   was originally said by Alvin, a reporter who attended the Consumer Electronics Show on a web blog.

   Later, every player who has experienced the Yuxing electronic entertainment game console also began to pass it on by word of mouth.

   This thing is really amazing, and it makes people inadvertently addicted to it.

   And as time goes by, there are more and more department stores selling Yuxing electronic entertainment products.

  The small and medium-sized department stores and supermarkets that were not very popular before began to favor Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

Before, they would sign a contract with Youxing Electronic Entertainment cautiously, for fear of losing this thing, and even the initial payment for the goods was paid by Youxing Electronic Entertainment first, selling the product first, and then the income. Give it to Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

   This is the contract signed by the first few department stores that we cooperated with, and it is also the best contract.

   And the later department stores naturally did not have this kind of treatment, and even had to make certain compromises and concessions in the division.

  The previous contract allowed the seller to have about 35% of the profit, while the later one could only have 30%.

   There are also department stores that are eager to buy more game console goods and will actively reduce profit margins in order to obtain more purchases.

   Because this thing is really too popular.

   Since the original Street Fighter and other games targeting Europe and the United States were released, SFC and GB have been particularly hot.

   and then the launch of the light gun, which once again triggered a wave of purchases.

   You must know that this is not a festival worth celebrating, but a simple ordinary time period.

   No department store will give up the sale of this product.

   Of course, this does not include large department stores.

Because they are allies, on the contrary, they are still shouting desperately for PN game consoles, Lierda 2600 game consoles, etc., and claiming that these two game consoles have more fun games, and PN2 game consoles have also entered a warm-up state. , can be officially released at any time, in the PN2 game console will allow players to experience 3D video games for the first time, this is a big step in an era.

   Relying on desperate shouting, these large department stores can barely reach about half of the sales of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

The department store that Youxing Electronic Entertainment cooperates with does not even need any publicity. They only need to tell customers that we have SFC game consoles for sale here, and even light guns for sale, and there will be a lot of people tossing banknotes. Come over to buy a game console, you don't have to worry about selling it at all.

   At the same time, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment will also add English options to some games released in Japan, and then sell them at a relatively low price.

  Sometimes kids may cringe a little when they look at Street Fighter, which is supposed to be $69.

   But if there are only games such as Super Mario 3 with forty or fifty knives, it would be very popular for them.

   Don’t look at the difference of ten dollars. If you buy three or four games that cost $40 or $50, it means you can save another $40 or $50, and then buy another game.

   Anyway, American children think so, which arouses their desire to buy.

   In particular, several games such as Contra 3 and Tetris are also quite popular.

   But just like this, it can only be said that the market has just opened up. Compared with the later North American video game market, this is just the beginning.

   In the second month of SFC's sales in the United States, that is, at the end of March 1995, SFC's sales exceeded one million.

   The sales of one million consoles in two months is very amazing. Zhu Yuxing also came over to celebrate with the employees of the US branch.

   Even Suri Electronics and several other newly established game companies were a little surprised.

   Before they opened up the player market, it was only an increase of tens of thousands of tens of thousands a month, but as soon as Youxing Electronic Entertainment came over, it doubled directly? This is really outrageous.

   But this also allowed them to see the potential of the American video game market.

   Hayakawa Zhito asked Aiden to increase the recruitment of video game talents as soon as he learned about it. This kind of good opportunity must not be missed.

  …

  On April 1st, in Harvard's dormitory building, Bob was thinking about the next social networking site planning, thinking about what direction to develop.

   His friend Jeff ran in excitedly at this time: "Bob, I just received a call from Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, and they want to invite us to meet for dinner."

  Bob's eyes were always on the screen, and at the same time he replied indifferently: "Just go with this kind of thing, I don't have time to eat with them now."

   "No, this time you must go, this time is different from the past."

   "Different from the past?"

   Bob looked up at his friend Jeff.

"Didn't you always say that you want to meet the owner of Youxing Electronic Entertainment? This time he came, I heard that it was originally to celebrate their record of selling millions of game consoles, but at the same time, he also wanted to meet us, Did you say you were going?"

  Bob stood up from his seat immediately and asked seriously, "You mean, the boss named Zhu Yuxing is here too?"

   "Of course, this is our sponsor. If you don't go to this kind of invitation, then you really don't want to mess around."

   Bob's surprised expression satisfied him.

   "Go, definitely go."

   Bob is not really looking at the face of the so-called gold owner, but really just curious.

   He is curious about what kind of person can start from scratch and then rely on a whole new industry to create a miracle of hundreds of millions of dollars in a short period of time.

   This is unimaginable.

   And he also knew that this was a man of his own age, which made him want to find a chance to see each other with his own eyes.

   "Bob, hurry up and pack up, I have a suit that I haven't worn yet, just for you."

   "No, your suit is too uncomfortable to wear. I really don't understand why humans would invent such a boring thing as a suit. If you kill me, I won't wear it."

   "You guy, this is the face of the big gold lord, we must not be neglected!"

   "I don't care about that."

  The two quarreled for a while, and finally ended in the victory for Bob.

He was wearing clothes that were no different from his usual clothes and was going to meet the big money lord, while Jeff was really serious about dressing himself meticulously. Can support the company.

   And the place to meet was a Chinese restaurant in Boston's Huaxia City, which was a little surprising to the two.

  This Chinese restaurant is also a hot pot restaurant.
