Super Tycoon

Seeing Prost leave, the secretary Xiao Wang couldn't help asking: "President, is the price too high for them? We have never offered such a condition."

"I also know about Need for Speed. FIFA and NBA are all sports games. Can they sell well? People in many areas don't like basketball at all, and people in some places don't like football. The limitations are too restrictive. .”

Xiao Wang thinks that sports games are not as fun as shooting and fighting games, because those games are liked by many people around the world, but how many people like sports games? Why give a guaranteed sales of millions of copies.

Zhang Yang looked at the secretary: "Let's go, I'll take you to a football game tonight, which is also one of the most popular sports events in the United States."

When he arrived at the arena, Xiao Wang looked at those crazy people and was very puzzled. This kind of regional sports competition can't even enter the Olympic Games, but can it make people so crazy?

He looked at the box ticket price in his hand again. Is this a money grab? It costs so much to watch a game?

The price of the box is expensive, the price of the front row is also expensive, even if the middle one is cheap, how much cheaper can it be? How much ticket money do you have to earn for this game? There are also soft drinks, popcorn, hamburgers, etc. Are sports events so profitable in the United States?

When he was in China, he also watched football matches. The stadium was not full of people, but there were some diehard fans, but the tickets were also very cheap.

"Oh~~~"

Suddenly there was a burst of cheers from below, and Xiao Wang was startled, feeling that the sound was like a tsunami.

"See, these people are crazy about sporting events. Don't they ever think about participating in the game? Yes, but some people know their level is too bad, some people are not physically fit, and some people don't Too much time."

"Then playing sports games is the best consolation for them. Even if the price of this game will be high, it doesn't matter."

The price is high, no matter how high the performance is, is it an outdated flute? The Ocarina of Time, just released by Nintendo in North America, is priced at $249, creating the highest price for all game releases.

But as a result, it is still a big seller.

The price of the N64 console is only 199 US dollars. Now some retail stores still have some discounts and promotions. The price of games is more expensive than that of game consoles.

Even though the N64 has so many shortcomings, it still sells well thanks to its great game titles. Now it is approaching 30 million units, especially in the North American market.

The more this is the case, the worse the sales of Sega Bandai Uranus will be when it goes on sale next year. Especially next year, Smart Multistar G2 will be launched simultaneously globally. Uranus will have a hard time.

Zhang Yang also hopes to buy more games suitable for the North American market before this, so as to ensure that other game console manufacturers such as Nintendo can be suppressed in the North American market.

EA is undoubtedly the game manufacturer that best represents American games, especially in terms of home console games.

Xiao Wang nodded thoughtfully: "Then we will launch G2 next year, and we will increase our publicity in North America to suppress other manufacturers here, right?"

"That's right. And it needs to be completely suppressed, so that the sales of PS2 will be affected. In terms of profit margin, we can't compare with Nintendo, but the overall profit may not be inferior to them."

Zhiduoxing Group also has Huaxia Market, which has educational electronic products, and the profits of those are still very high. Even though the price of the 586 Chinese-English computer learning machine has dropped to more than 600 yuan, it can still guarantee a net profit of more than 40%.

And according to the sales statistics of the first three quarters of this year, the sales of Chinese and English computer learning machines alone will exceed 200 million US dollars this year.

In addition, Wenquxing also has hundreds of millions of sales, and the profit margin is higher. The net profit of the overall educational electronic products can reach more than 150 million US dollars.

Educational electronic products that used to be the pillar industry of Zhiduoxing Company,

The weight has dropped a lot this year. There are two main reasons.

One is because many Chinese people have really started to buy computers, especially the one called Lenovo, which started a price war and lowered the price of computers by more than 30%.

In addition, the operation of computers has become easier and easier for many people to learn, and the speed of the Internet has also become faster and faster. Some people have found many interesting things on the Internet, which are beyond the reach of learning machines.

However, at the beginning of next year, another educational electronic product of Zhiduoxing will go on sale, which will make profits skyrocket again.

This year, the highest income of Zhiduoxing Group is the game console business. Mainframe, peripherals, game sales, etc., including the dividends from companies such as SanDisk, the net profit is less than 700 million U.S. dollars.

Including the sales of the company's mahjong machines, poker machines, dance machines and other products, the overall profit this year will exceed US$800 million.

As for Nintendo, it is estimated that its net profit can reach 900 million U.S. dollars. Obviously, Nintendo's product sales are not as good as that of Zhiduxing, but the profit is higher.

Zhi Duo Xing Group bears the title of No. 1 in the industry in the world. In fact, Nintendo also has unconvinced capital because Nintendo has higher revenue and profits.

The prices of the games under the Zhiduoxing Group are all low, and the number of masterpieces is not as high as that of Nintendo, let alone games that can be sold at a high price of 259 US dollars, and there are no games above 159 US dollars.

But all of this will change from next year, because Zhiduoxing will also have fun 3D games, the cost will be different, and the price will naturally increase.

Sports and competitive games are the stepping stone he used to open up the 3D game market in the United States. Maybe it can hit the heads of companies such as Nintendo and make them stunned.

Secretary Xiao Wang carefully wrote down the president's words, and he also began to think from the president's point of view, what should the company increase in order to increase revenue and profit, so as to completely step on Nintendo and secure the throne of the industry leader.

If the company hadn't had the Z3 this year, I'm afraid the leading position would have been taken back by Nintendo.

Of course, he didn't know that Zhang Yang earned more than these this year. In addition to the income from the Zhiduoxing Group, he also had income from investing in the financial market, which was the big one.

And starting from next year, Zhang Yang's other investment will bring back a large amount of income. At that time, don't say it is suppressing Nintendo, you have to trample Nintendo under your feet!

"Okay, let's go."

"President, the competition is not over yet." Xiao Wang was stunned for a moment.

"Can you understand? Do you like it? I just came here to take a look. Let's go, otherwise there will be a traffic jam after the show. This time, I have other things to do."
