Reborn Xiangjiang as a Tycoon

Chapter 22 A good start

One day, two days.

Three days have passed, and still no arcade shop owner has contacted Galaxy Games to purchase the arcade machine.

Liu Yihui, the factory director, did contact these bosses, but the replies he received were to wait and see.

Lin Baicheng was not disappointed by this, but was secretly happy, because three days had passed, and half of the one-week guaranteed return period had passed, but no arcade store owner had yet contacted the company to ask for a return.

In other words, the worst case scenario of no one playing the game has not happened. It must be that someone plays the game and the arcade store owner makes money, so they are willing to keep the arcade machine in the store.

Otherwise, if there are not many people playing in three days and the arcade shop owner cannot even make back the electricity bill, they will definitely not mind returning the product in advance and getting their money back.

There are no returns, which is good for Galaxy Games.

On the fourth day, Lin Baicheng specially sent ten employees to various arcade stores in Xiangjiang to observe whether there would be many people playing Xiangjiang Cubes that day.

The results of the survey are good. On average, each employee spends about three or four hours in an arcade store, and during this time, the arcade machine Xiangjiang Cube probably earns about 20 Hong Kong dollars. In other words, what happens at the end of the day?

You can also earn 50 Hong Kong dollars.

The cost of buying an arcade machine is only 5,000 Hong Kong dollars. Not counting electricity bills and other costs, you can make back the cost in about 100 days.

In this era, the lifespan of an arcade game is very long. After all, the entire game market is not as big as it was in later generations. There are not so many types of games, and there are relatively few entertainment methods. Therefore, a fun game usually has a three-year golden life.

period, and a lifespan of not less than five years.

You can imagine that a game that can earn back its cost in about 100 days has great prospects if it can earn money in at least three years.

Lin Baicheng knows how to settle this account, and the arcade store owners even more so. After all, they are the ones who open the store. The reason why they did not contact Galaxy Games immediately to purchase the goods is because they are not sure whether the current hot scene is a flash in the pan, so they want to continue

Watch for a few days.

After making rough calculations based on the survey results, Lin Baicheng believed that the possibility of returns was unlikely, and that many people would buy the game in the future, so he asked Liu Yihui to boldly contact the raw material supplier.

This time, Lin Baicheng directly ordered the raw materials for 500 arcade machines, reducing the cost to an average of 100 Hong Kong dollars. Although 100 Hong Kong dollars is not much, after multiplying the number of 500 units, it is 50,000 Hong Kong dollars.

The cost of five hundred arcade machines is 1.35 million Hong Kong dollars. Lin Baicheng simply does not have that much money now. Fortunately, he only needs to pay 30% of the payment first, and then pay the remaining 30% within the next month. Finally,

Just pay 40% within three months.

In order to pay the 30% payment, Lin Baicheng even used the money from the fifty arcade machines sold, otherwise he would not even be able to pay the 30% payment.

The reason why I dare to use it this time is based on the investigation and confidence in the Xiangjiang Cube game, rather than blindly expanding production capacity.

During the remaining week of guaranteed returns, an arcade store owner finally purchased an arcade machine from Galaxy Games. Although the number was small, less than twenty units in total, it was already a good start.

Lin Baicheng is very happy about this. He can earn hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars with nearly 70 arcade machines. The most important thing is that this is just the beginning. He believes that the number sold will only increase in the future.

On the day when the one-week refund event ended, no arcade store chose to return the goods. Lin Baicheng invited the chef who served the wedding banquet to the factory and bought big fish and meat as a celebration.

It's also that Lin Baicheng doesn't make much now and doesn't have any money. Otherwise, he would definitely invite all the employees of the factory to the hotel to celebrate instead of like this.

In just one week, Galaxy Games sold 300 arcade machines.

Three hundred arcade machines were sold in just one week, which was beyond Lin Baicheng's expectation. Fortunately, he had bought the raw materials for five hundred machines before and asked his employees to assemble them, so he completed the delivery as soon as possible.

Money was earned.

Lin Baicheng was surprised by the order of three hundred machines a week. After all, there are currently more than 40 arcade stores in Xiangjiang. Logically speaking, they cannot buy so many arcade machines. After all, the market is limited.

Lin Baicheng learned the reason from Liu Yihui. It turned out that some arcade store owners not only opened stores in Xiangjiang, but also opened stores in Ao Island and Wandao. Therefore, the arcade machines bought by these owners were not only placed in the stores in Xiangjiang, but also in the rest of the stores.

They are all shipped to Ao Island and Wan Island.

Forget about Ao Island, its population is much smaller than that of Xiangjiang, and its economic development is also worse than that of Xiangjiang. But Wan Island is different. The total population is about 20 million, and its economy is not much behind that of Xiangjiang. The overall market is four times that of Xiangjiang.

By doubling the size, more arcade machines can be sold.

Three hundred machines were sold at once. After getting the money, Lin Baicheng not only asked Liu Yihui to buy the raw materials for another thousand machines, but also asked him to recruit twenty employees, so that the daily production capacity would be

It can be improved.

It's not like there weren't some bullshit happening in the process. Fortunately, Lin Baicheng had the foresight to hire ten security guards, and all of them were veterans and were good at fighting, so he was able to sell the goods so smoothly and collect the money.

return.

After all, in this era, the owners of Xiangjiang arcade stores are more or less related to the Triads. Without certain means, it is not easy to make money from them.

Fortunately, Lin Baicheng is doing serious business, and people don't dare to mess around. They can only make small fuss, and don't dare to send out hundreds or thousands of people. Otherwise, if they really do it, Lin Baicheng's ten veterans can withstand it.

The possibility is really slim.

Sales in the Xiangjiang area were going very smoothly, so Lin Baicheng had the idea of ​​opening up foreign markets and took action.

Lin Baicheng did not take action himself, but asked several employees to take ten machines to the United States and RB respectively to find the company's two local employees. Those two foreign employees have now become full-time employees of the company, and

Not a part-time job.

Lin Baicheng issued an order locally in Xiangjiang. He asked employees from the two countries to wait for the machine to be delivered. It would be best to find the largest local game agent first. If it is not feasible, go to one store to sell it. Anyway, the market must be opened.

As for the price, the foreign uniform price is US$1,500, which is more than 6,000 Hong Kong dollars. After deducting tariffs, it is slightly higher than the local price in Hong Kong. This price is not high based on the prices of arcade machines in each country.

The selling price of Ao Island and Wan Island is the same as that of Xiangjiang, which is 5,000 Hong Kong dollars, because in Lin Baicheng's view, everyone belongs to the same country.
