Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

   Chapter 59 Chain Reaction

   "Dragon Quest? Some, some, we just have a promotion, you can buy it at a 10% discount for 4,500 yen."

  The clerk is very happy that a customer who wants to buy Dragon Quest finally came after so long.

   After the customer heard it, he took out five thousand yen and handed them over. "Here, I want a box."

   The person who bought it wears a pair of glasses and looks like a senior otaku, and at the same time he seems to be holding a manga magazine that has just been unpacked.

   "I'll charge you 5,000 yen, find you 500, and your Dragon Quest cassette, thank you for coming."

   The clerk bowed slightly, and the man nodded lightly to leave.

Watching the customer leave, the player's soul in his heart couldn't help but want to explode, so he said out loud, "That, I want to take the liberty to ask, why do you want to buy Dragon Quest? Because watching others play this Is the game fun?"

  The customer turned around, then raised the comic book in his hand and said, "No, it's the comic I read. It is said that playing this can learn the subsequent storyline in advance, and can also play the role of a hero to experience the story, I just want to play and see."

   "That's it, then let me tell you, in addition to the touching story, the game itself is also super fun."

   "Really?" The customer responded uncertainly.

   He is also a player.

   But he likes Contra more.

   Because that fight was very refreshing.

  Dragon Quest He has also seen the gameplay before, but he feels that the picture is a bit monotonous and boring, and the picture effect is not as good as that of Contra.

   The reason why I came to buy today is entirely because the story of the manga came to an abrupt end.

  In the comics, the brave man has come to the stone tablet deep in the cave to learn the secret of his life experience.

   Then the brave man walked out of the cave and was attacked by the dragon king's men. It seemed that he planned to kill the brave man who was not yet strong.

  The story stops here.

  Damn, why do you cartoonists always like to end an episode at the most crucial moment?

Can’t    finish the painting? !

   At that time, his mood was quite complicated, and he wanted to know the follow-up story, but he didn’t know what to do.

   He even started thinking about sending the author a blade.

   Then he noticed that after the end of the comic, it was written like this: The video game of the same name is on sale, you can experience the whole story for yourself, know the whole story of Dragon Quest in advance, and welcome to buy it.

   After seeing the news, he immediately came to his senses. He took the comic book he just bought and started looking for it in the nearby block, and finally came here.

  The customer left with the game cassette, and the clerk returned to the store manager happily.

   "Look at the store manager, Dragon Quest is still bought by someone."

   "Well, that's just one person, it doesn't mean anything at all."

   The manager still doesn't quite believe in the sales of this thing.

   The previous month or two didn't improve much.

In the statistics of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, it has just reached 40,000 in three months, while the sales data of game consoles has reached 200,000, Contra and Tetris have exceeded 100,000 sales, and other games have also Followed by.

   He didn't think Dragon Quest would suddenly be a hit.

  The store manager is not a player, he doesn't understand the fun of the game, but he thinks he knows how to sell things.

   If a product is left unattended for a long time, it is basically cold.

   However, as soon as the store manager finished speaking, another child with a comic book walked in.

   "Big brother, do you have any Dragon Quest game cassettes for sale here?"

  The clerk immediately ran out and said happily, "Yes, yes, yes! There is an event today, Dragon Quest, with a 10% discount, for a total of 4,500 yen!"

   "Really? It's actually 500 yen cheaper! I want a box of big brother!"

   The manager's expression was stunned.

   Another one?

   In the past day, it may not be able to sell a box.

   This is not the end.

   Several more customers came in one after another, and the first one to ask was the game Dragon Quest.

   And they almost all have one thing in common, and that is the latest issue of Kasuga Manga Magazine in their hands.

  Dragon Quest's comic card stopped abruptly at the most critical moment, which made people go crazy.

   Then they also noticed the small lines at the bottom of the end.

   You can experience all the storylines, and you can also experience the whole story from the perspective of the brave, which sounds more attractive than the manga.

   So they started looking for places to buy game cartridges all over the street, and they didn't even ask for the price, as long as you have it, I will pay.

   At the same time, this suddenly boosted the sales of game consoles.

  Some senior manga readers do not have game consoles. In order to play Dragon Quest, they will buy game consoles and game cartridges without hesitation. In this way, it is more than 10,000 yen. The spending power of the rare ones has increased a lot.

   One, two, three.

   When more than a dozen people came in and asked about the Dragon Quest game in a row, the store manager couldn't calm down at all.

   "Hey, take down the discount announcement!"

  The previous discount was to sell the game as soon as possible.

   But now it seems that many people are starting to be interested in Dragon Quest.

   He didn't know what caused these people to suddenly buy Dragon Quest en masse.

   But he knew that if he continued to discount, each box of games would be sold for 500 yen less, so he would earn almost 10,000 yen less.

   This made him very distressed.

  In addition to this store, other authorized sales stores are also performing the same scene.

  The store managers who complained about the backlog of Dragon Quest cassettes before are all smiling now.

The profit of Dragon Quest is the highest among the game cassettes, because Dragon Quest is the most expensive one, 5,000 yen per box, and the purchase cost is 70% of the retail price. If you sell it at the normal price, you can earn it A profit of 1,500 yen.

   They sold a lot in just a while.

   At the same time, the topic of Dragon Quest on the Internet also began to increase rapidly.

  The small circle of communication at the beginning is also slowly expanding.

  About three days later, a new week of sales data was placed in front of Take Yuxing.

  The sales of game consoles are 240,000, and now they are rising rapidly at a rate of almost 10,000 a day.

  As the publicity of surrounding cities increases, the momentum of this data rise is also stronger.

  Contra sales reached 150,000 copies, ranking first.

  Tetris came in second with 140,000 copies.

   Then came the Super Baseball with 120,000 copies, which came in third.

   And the fourth place is Dragon Quest, 100,000 copies.

   In three days, Dragon Quest has soared rapidly with sales figures of more than 20,000 a day.

   Finally, the sales data climbed from the bottom 40,000 to 100,000.

  Other games are basically hovering around 50,000 to 90,000.

   After seeing this data, Zhu Yuxing finally couldn't help but smile.

  Dragon Quest finally came out.

  I can wait too long.

   In fact, role-playing games have always been the biggest sales of game consoles. Before guns and cars dominated, whoever could make a role-playing game well represented an absolute advantage.

   It was about 10 years later that this trend changed, but role-playing games were still popular, but their status was slightly reduced.

   It seems that the publicity effect of the comics is really good.

   But there is actually a certain chance, otherwise, only a few games such as Dragon Quest will rise in the previous life.

   In addition to Take Yusei, Daigo Ikeda is also very happy now.

  Because the sales figures of manga magazines have also suddenly increased a little recently, when the sales figures of other peers are slowly declining, they suddenly increase their sales, which is an exciting news.
