Super Tycoon

"Dad, has that product been successfully developed?" Zhang Yang returned to Bingcheng and asked his father when he saw him.

Zhang Weiguang sat down and took a sip of hot tea: "You kid, you think I'm your subordinate, urging, urging, just knowing urging, it's almost finished, wait a minute."

Zhang Yang Daxi: "Dad, this is the key to whether our Zhiduoxing G can be sold well. In this way, our Zhiduoxing G can replace traditional arcade machines. Think about it, how much will this increase sales?"

Many people don't know how Suony's PS1 in the previous life achieved sales of hundreds of millions of units, because Suuni not only crazily opened up the home console market, but also opened up the game hall market.

The traditional arcade motherboard is replaced by PS1, and a game disc is attached. The display screen and joystick control panel of the traditional arcade machine on the street are exactly the same as the traditional arcade machine from the outside.

In order to change the game of a traditional arcade machine, the entire motherboard needs to be replaced. Not to mention the high price, the storage and transportation are also inconvenient, and it is often damaged during transportation.

And when the game machine is broken, it is not easy to repair. Some people even thought about repairing it by themselves, only to find out after dismantling it.

It will be different if you purchase Zhiduoxing G. With the supporting after-sales service, it is easier to replace the game disc. In particular, there are many games suitable for arcade play on Zhiduoxing G, such as some fighting games and some games for breaking through levels.

What's more, the price of Zhiduoxing G's games is cheap, and if it is accidentally damaged, the loss is not too big. If it is a traditional arcade machine, the motherboard is burned, and the loss is too high.

"It's really okay to do this? In the home game console market, we haven't done a particularly good job. Now you're starting to attack the arcade market, and there are too many clarinets."

"Several game makers on Treasure Island seem to have made arcade machines, so they have suffered a lot, right?"

Many enemies are made, and allies are reduced, which is not good for the company's development. Zhang Weiguang always felt that his son's ambitions were too great, couldn't he be slower?

It's not too slow to become the number one in the industry in a decade or two, right?

"It doesn't matter, we hand over the agency right of Baodao area to Xinxiang Electronics, I believe they will make the right choice. If they really compete with us, they will definitely lose."

Zhang Yang does not sell arcade machines, but replaces the traditional arcade motherboards with ZDOS G, which is equivalent to upgrading the arcade machines. The performance of traditional arcade machines is actually very backward. Playing some current games, it is easy to move, especially when the machine is hot, it is easy to get stuck.

So who would want to go to their arcade to play?

Before Zhiduoxing sold game motherboards, it had opened up most of the domestic game hall sales channels, and now through the dance machine, it has opened up foreign game hall sales channels.

As long as their technology can meet the standards, most arcade halls are definitely willing to upgrade their products. Otherwise, if others upgrade and you don't, the customer base will definitely be lost.

"Dad, don't hesitate about this matter. After opening up this channel, our sales will definitely increase rapidly. In the domestic market alone, it is no problem to increase sales by hundreds of thousands of units. In foreign markets, we can increase sales by 10 to 20 million units." Sales are also easy."

"Coupled with some of our exclusive games driving console sales, as well as future dance mat peripherals, our console sales may reach 50 million units!"

"How much?!" Zhang Weiguang was shocked. At present, the sales volume of Zhiduoxing G has indeed exceeded 10 million units, and the growth rate is not bad, but he never thought that this product could sell more than 20 million units, his son said. This number was twice as high as his psychological expectation!

"Fifty million units. Why, you don't believe it?"

Zhang Weiguang is also a little uncertain: "I want to believe it, but I always feel that it can't reach such a high level. The market is so big, there are so many brands doing this now, and there are industry leaders like Nintendo, how many can we grab? "

"I asked Sun Tengfei, and he said that the number of our games is not as good as Suni's. Although there are some popular games, the profit margin is far less than that of Nintendo."

"Nintendo can subsidize game consoles, but we can't. If it's really losing money and making money, I won't do it."

Losing money and earning money is to sell more in the future. But this game console will have to be updated in a few years. If you are making money and making money now, it does not mean that the next generation of game consoles will be able to win the market. Just like Sega, the original MD once suppressed Nintendo's SFC in the American market, but it was not defeated in the 32-bit machine war.

Up to now, Sega's sales volume is only about 8 million, and even if it can increase in the future, 10 million units will top the sky. After all, Sega has announced that they will launch a 128-bit game console within two years. Who will buy a 32-bit game console at that time?

Just like now, after the launch of Nintendo's N64, the sales of those who sit on 32-bit machines have declined.

"Let's try it, even if we can't achieve it, we won't lose money. Don't forget, our goal at the beginning was only a few million units. You even said that selling one million units is enough to make money. If you sell more, you will make money." .”

"Although our selling price has dropped a lot, the cost has also dropped a lot, which has driven our game sales even more. Even if the game consoles don't make money, some of our exclusive games are attracting more players."

"When these games are released to the next generation in the future, they will only be available on our game consoles. At that time, do you think our game console sales can still be poor?"

"Nowadays, the sales cycle of a game console will definitely not reach the glory of 10 or 20 years like FC. Five years, five years must update the next generation, otherwise we will continue to lag behind."

"By the way, our Zhiduoxing G for arcades should be made smaller. The current machines are a bit big, and they are not very convenient to carry and install. They also take up space at home. Think about it. , How big was the game console back then?"

The reason why the follow-up sales of Suuni’s PS1 in the previous life can still increase is because they launched a reduced version of PS1, PSone. This product is equivalent to a portable game console because it can be connected to an external monitor and power supply. With this selling point, let Its sales increased again by a large margin.

Knowing the development direction of competitors, Zhi Duoxing did not make it ahead of time, that would be foolish.

In the next step, Zhiduoxing will start to increase the development of external devices, relying on these things, continue to increase the sales of Zhiduoxing G, and create a jaw-dropping sales record!

"Do you want to change it? You really think of your father as an iron man." Zhang Weiguang suddenly felt that he couldn't drink the tea.

"Dad, I have already said that the R\u0026D work is left to others. You are in charge of the R\u0026D center. You are not asked to do the R\u0026D yourself. It is enough for you to do the testing."

"How about I go and see your improved model now?"
