Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

"Don't talk, just watch the video, this video is very cool, even if I am an adult, I would really like to watch such cartoons."

The NYU student's roommate is also a basketball fan.

Basketball has a high status among young people in the United States. It is one of the cheapest forms of entertainment, and it doesn’t require too many people. It can be played by one person or by two people. There are not as many restrictions as rugby and baseball.

The playground with the most streets and alleys is the basketball court.

And when they saw such a well-made animation, they all became interested.

The two didn't talk anymore, but watched the content of the video attentively.

In the video, the animation is still going on, showing all kinds of skills, the strongest of which is of course the basketball player from the United States. He is tall and powerful, and every combat power seems to be very strong.

The two of them immediately showed satisfied expressions and took it for granted.

The animation content of various basketballs lasted for about two minutes, and finally a few paragraphs of text appeared.

"Want to experience the charm of basketball?"

"Want to play against basketball players from all over the world?"

"Then please come and try our latest video game: Street Basketball, the latest video game product from Youxing Electronic Entertainment, which will take you to experience the most realistic basketball."

"Street basketball, officially released together with the SFC game console on February 1st, welcome to buy."

The text ends, and then there is a section of animation special effects of GAMESTAR that looks very gorgeous.

The two young college students were stunned for a moment looking at the page that had stopped playing.

"This... doesn't seem like an animation?"

"It seems so..." The roommate nodded.

"Video games? I seem to have the impression that it seems to be a kind of entertainment that has become popular recently."

"Entertainment? What kind of entertainment?"

"It seems that characters can be manipulated with something like a remote control. When I went to a department store, I saw a clerk selling it."

"Manipulating characters? Is it possible to control these basketball players?"

"Well, that seems to be the case."

That sounds... just amazing!

Being able to control basketball players is definitely not as good as playing basketball in real life.

But it should be good to take it out for entertainment when you are bored occasionally.

"Have you heard of this thing called SFC?"

"No, by the way, isn't there an introduction on this webpage?"

The roommate who saw it saw the SFC introduction option below, so he pointed to the screen and said.

Sitting in front of the computer, college students immediately manipulate the mouse to click to enter the secondary page.

It introduces the overall performance of the SFC game machine in detail, as well as the explanation of the terms of the game machine.

Through the explanation, the two had a general understanding of what the game console was for.

An electronic product specially used for entertainment, there are endless entertainment content waiting to be discovered. In addition to street basketball, there are thrilling racing games, bloody fighting games, and thrilling vampire story games.

In it, no matter what your hobbies are, you can find what your heart belongs to.

At the bottom of the page there is an option to order now.

You can directly enter your own address in the order option.

But now you can only enter your own address to make a reservation, and you can't perform operations such as payment for the time being.

The price of a game console in SFC is 199 knives, and the game machine comes with a video game called Super Mario. If you want to play games such as street basketball, you need to pay an additional 69.9 knives to buy the game.

For Americans, the price of a $199 electronic product plus a $69.9 game is actually relatively cheap.

It is already a very cost-effective thing to enjoy a period of happiness for only a few hundred dollars.

Usually, these Americans with excess energy hold parties at every turn, and the expenses are not low.

"You wait, I'll get out my computer now, let's order together."

The roommate ran to his bed while talking, then turned on the computer, and was also ready to place an order.

The price of this thing is within the acceptable range, so it is no problem to order one.

However, there are only a small number of people who are interested in ordering. Most people just look at it, but they have no idea of ​​buying it. They want to experience it for themselves to determine whether they will buy it.

There are many leeks in the United States, but it does not mean that people can cut them casually.

In terms of advertising, Zhuyouxing previously planned a targeted strategy.

First look for some targets on Facebook that seem to be suitable for attack, and then ask someone to chat with the other party anonymously, and quietly recommend video games to the other party.

Of course, this method of selection is too labor-intensive.

But this is often the best.

In addition to such publicity, Zhuyouxing also directly sent more targeted user messages through Facebook's internal server.

Prompt them to check out related video links to see something they like.

For example, if you record yourself as a boxing enthusiast in your profile, then the group post will automatically push you the promotional video of Street Fighter.

If basketball is what you like, then you will receive a promotional video for street basketball just like that New York University student.

The same is true for Need for Speed. People who like racing will receive a link to the promotional video of Need for Speed.

Then, judging by statistics like their click-through rate on the web, most of them will stay on the page at least until the end of the promotional video.

Among them, half of them will choose to watch other recommended promotional videos, and also take a look at detailed game console information.

When the background programmers of Youxing Electronic Entertainment saw these statistical information, they immediately jumped up excitedly.

They have been worried that this kind of publicity will not have any effect.

But worry no more now.

Their efforts are rewarded.

Zhu Youxing, who was not very sure before, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, this is just a parallel world, and he can't guarantee 100% whether the routines in his previous life will work. Now that he sees that the effect is good, he is relieved.

This is the first step in entering the United States, which can be regarded as a real step forward.

And the rest, it is time to prepare to start distribution.

First of all, Minoru Matsuhashi has negotiated with many small department store retailers, and they are ready.

Zhu Youxing, who had already returned to Japan, immediately began to urge the factory to speed up production.

The United States is a huge consumer market.

Its spending power is not at the same level as that of Japan.

The main reason is that people in the United States do have a lot of spare money.

They have harvested leeks all over the world for many years, and they have become very rich.
