Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Tokyo, Chiyoda-ku, Akihabara.

After World War II, a black market selling rare, high-quality electronic products formed here. From the 1950s to the present, shops here first supplied a large number of televisions, refrigerators, and later VCRs and game consoles. Nowadays, electronic product stores, model toy stores, animation product stores and theme cafes coexist here. New office and retail store complexes are gradually rising from the ground. The number of stores has reached thousands. It is an extremely famous place in Japan. Electrical Appliance Street.

In such a famous electrical street, Zhiyin Comics Publishing Company of course also has a store, and it was the first place to expand after Lin Baicheng took over.

The prices of the stores here are extremely high, and most property owners are unwilling to sell the stores. They regard the stores here as family heirlooms and want to leave them to future generations to collect rental fees. Therefore, Zhiyin Comics Publishing Company bought the stores here. The store cost almost double the premium to buy a store of about 100 square meters.

On Saturday morning, Yamauchi Ura arrived at Zhiyin Comics Publishing Company's store in Akihabara at early nine o'clock.

“In addition to selling comics, we also sell toys, which is a bit complicated.”

Amidst the welcome sound of the beautiful female clerk's bow, Yamauchiura walked into the store and first took a rough look at the layout of the store.

A female shop assistant came to Yamauchiura: "Hello, sir, do you want to see it yourself, or do you want us to introduce it to you?"

"The kids over there in front of the TV are there for a trial experience of the Xingyue console?"

Yamauchiura pointed to a corner on the side of the store where toys were sold. There was a TV set there, surrounded by several children. What should be playing on the TV was the game screen.

The female clerk replied: "Yes, the Xingyue Game Console is there for trial experience. Everyone can try it out for fifteen minutes, but they need to wait in line. The children are already waiting in line."

Yamauchiura asked: "Can you introduce the Xingyue console and games to me?"

"Of course, you come with me."

The female clerk didn't know that Yamauchiura was here to spy on the enemy, so she led Yamauchiura to the shelf next to the TV.

Not only the female clerk, but even Lin Baicheng and the others never thought that there would be competitors to spy on the information. Even if they knew, they couldn't hide the information, because if they want to sell products, they must introduce customers in detail, so as long as they have the intention , it is easy to detect relevant information.

"The device on the shelf is the Xingyue console. This console was developed by Xingyue Electronic Game Company at a cost of US$150 million and invited engineers from the United States, Japan and Hong Kong. It is our country that leads the development of this product. Engineer Junhei Yokoi, it is a masterpiece with the spirit of craftsmanship.”

After hearing what the female clerk said, Yamauchiura couldn't help but secretly snorted. Shindo Xingyue Electronic Game Company really knows how to promote this product as being developed by Japanese engineers to avoid people's subconscious thinking that it is a foreign product. resist.

"The Xingyue host uses the most advanced technology in the world, so the cost is extremely high. The average cost of each unit is as high as more than 230 US dollars. The reason why it is only sold for 179 US dollars now is because the company wants to open up the market, so it gave Huge discount, so the first month’s price is the best, and subsequent prices will likely return to the regular selling price of $229.”

"The Xingyue console is equipped with a variety of games, including "Super Mario Bros.", "Vacuum Boy", "Gold Miner", "Crazy Racing", "Sky War Eagle" and many other games. Each game is extremely fun. , you can have a trial experience before the official launch.”

"For example, this "Super Mario Bros." game was developed by a team led by Mr. Miyamoto, a young game developer in my country. It is a game promoted by Xingyue Electronic Game Company. When you buy a console, you will get a related cassette as a bonus. Sir, you You can try it out later, I believe you won’t be disappointed.”

"besides."

The female clerk continued to introduce, but Yamauchiura picked up the "Super Mario Bros." cassette and read the introduction on it.

For a game developed under the leadership of So Miyamoto, Yamauchiura must try it out to see how this game is.

Yamauchiura did not decide immediately whether to order a console. He went to queue up and wait for the trial experience. Of course, the female clerk could not always be with him, so after waiting for the trial, Yamauchiura left first.

There were three children queuing in front of Yamauchiura. Including the child who was playing, he waited for nearly an hour in total before it was his turn to try out the experience.

However, while waiting in line, Yamauchiura was already watching other children try out the game, so although he hadn't gotten started yet, he already had some understanding of the game. At the same time, he could see the appeal of the game to children from the reluctant expressions of the children every time he changed players.

"The game "Super Mario Bros." has obviously been liked by children. Although it is only a few children, it does not mean that other children also like it, but it is enough to show that it is a good game."

With a heavy heart, Yamauchiura chose the game "Super Mario Bros." for trial experience. Just like when he was watching, this is a very playable game with the potential to become a big hit.

Due to limited time, Yamauchiura only tried out the game "Super Mario Bros." for five minutes, and then tried out other games. Although the time was short, after playing several games, he did not find any of them boring, which shows that these games are not bad.

After the 100,000 experience, Yamauchiura stood up and made way for his seat, and at the same time called the female clerk over.

"Miss, I like the Xingyue console very much. I want to buy it now. Give me five units, and give me three cassettes of each game."

Yamauchiura said aloud that the reason why he bought so many units was to take them back for the R\u0026D staff to dismantle and study, and at the same time to allow the developers of software games to try out these games, so that they can develop more exciting games.

"sorry sir!"

Upon hearing this, the female clerk bowed and apologized: "Xingyue consoles will be sold from Saturday next week. Currently, our store only accepts reservations from customers. The official sales will not be until next Saturday. I am sorry for the trouble it has caused you."

Yamauchiura was unwilling to give up: "I like this device very much. I will go abroad tomorrow. Can't you sell the device to me first?"

"Sir, please wait a moment, I will ask the store manager for instructions."

The female clerk said that she went to the store manager and reported the situation to the store manager.

After understanding the situation, the store manager apologized to Yamauchiura, saying that the store currently did not have a Xingyue console, so he could only accept reservations and wait until the official sales day for the product to be sold.

Seeing what the store manager said, Yamauchiura had no choice but to give up and leave. After all, there was no stock and it was useless no matter how much he said.
