Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

‘SFC, the most worthwhile high-tech product for American people to experience. '

It's a slogan.

It originally came from Alvin, a reporter who attended the Consumer Electronics Show, on a web blog.

Later, every player who had experienced Youxing Electronic Entertainment game console also began to spread word of mouth.

This thing is really amazing, people are inadvertently addicted to it and can't extricate themselves.

And as time goes by, there are more and more department stores selling Yuxing electronic entertainment products.

Small and medium-sized department stores that were not very popular before began to favor Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

In the past, they would cautiously sign a contract with Youxing Electronic Entertainment, for fear that this thing would be lost in their hands. Even the initial payment was paid by Youxing Electronic Entertainment first, and the products were sold first, and then the proceeds Give it to Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

This is the contract signed by the first few cooperative department stores, and it is also the best contract.

The later department stores naturally did not have this kind of treatment, and even had to make certain compromises and concessions in terms of share.

The previous contract allowed the seller to have about 35% of the profit, while the later contract could only have 30%.

Department stores and supermarkets that are more anxious to buy more game consoles will take the initiative to reduce profit margins, just to win more purchases.

Because this thing is really hot.

Since the release of the original Street Fighter and other games aimed at Europe and the United States, SFC and GB have been particularly hot in sales.

Later, the launch of the light gun once again triggered a wave of buying boom.

You know, this is not a festival worth celebrating, but just an ordinary time.

No department store supermarket will give up the sale of this product.

Of course, this does not include large department stores.

Because they are an alliance, on the contrary, they are still shouting for the PN game console, Lierda 2600 game console, etc., and claim that these two game consoles have more fun games, and the PN2 game console has also entered the warm-up state , can be officially released at any time, and the PN2 game console will allow players to experience 3D video games for the first time, which is a great step forward in an era.

Relying on desperate shouting, these large department stores can barely reach about half of the sales performance of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

And the department store that Youxing Electronic Entertainment cooperates with doesn't even need any publicity, they just need to tell customers that we sell SFC game consoles here, and even light guns, and there will be a lot of people throwing money at them. Come here to buy a game console, you don't have to worry about selling it.

At the same time, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment will also add English options to some games released in Japan, and then sell them at a relatively low price.

Sometimes kids might cringe at the sight of $69 Street Fighter.

But if there are only forty or fifty dollars for games such as Super Mario 3, they will be very popular.

Regardless of the difference of more than ten dollars, if you buy three or four games worth 40 or 50 dollars, it means you can save another 40 or 50 dollars, and then buy another game.

Anyway, the children in the United States think so, which arouses their desire to buy.

In particular, several games such as Contra 3 and Tetris are also quite popular.

But just like this, it can only be said that the market has just opened up. Compared with the North American video game market in later generations, this is just the beginning.

In the second month of SFC's sales in the United States, that is, at the end of March 1995, SFC's sales exceeded one million.

The sales of one million consoles in two months is so amazing that Zhu Youxing even ran over to celebrate with the employees of the American branch.

Even Su Rui Electronics and several other newly established game companies were a little surprised.

Obviously before they opened up the player market, they only increased by tens of thousands of tens of thousands a month, but when Youxing Electronic Entertainment came over, it doubled directly? This is really outrageous.

But it also allowed them to see the potential of the US video game market.

Ueto Hayakawa asked Aiden to increase the recruitment of video game talents as soon as he learned about it. This kind of good opportunity must not be missed.

...

On April 1st, in Harvard's dormitory building, Bob was thinking about the plans for the next social networking site, thinking about what direction to develop.

His good friend Jeff ran in excitedly at this time: "Bob, I received a call from Youxing Electronic Entertainment just now, and they want to invite us to meet for a meal."

Bob's eyes were fixed on the screen all the time, and at the same time he replied indifferently: "You can go to this kind of thing, I don't have much time to eat with them now."

"No, you must go this time. This time is different from the past."

"Different from the past?"

Bob looked up at his friend Jeff.

"Didn't you always say that you wanted to meet the boss of Youxing Electronic Entertainment? This time he came. I heard that he was here to celebrate their game console sales record of one million, but at the same time, he also wanted to meet us. Did you say you're going or not?"

Bob immediately stood up from his seat, and asked seriously: "You mean, the boss named Zhu Youxing is also here?"

"Of course, this is our benefactor. If you don't go to this kind of invitation, then you really don't want to mess around."

Bob's surprised expression pleased him.

"Go, definitely go."

Bob didn't really look at the face of the so-called donor, but was really just curious.

He is very curious about what kind of person can start from scratch, and then rely on a brand new industry to create a miracle of hundreds of millions of dollars in a short period of time.

It's unbelievable.

And he also knew that this was a person of his own age, which made him even more eager to find a chance to see him with his own eyes.

"Bob, hurry up and pack it up. I have a suit that I haven't worn yet. It's just for you."

"No, your suit is too uncomfortable to wear. I really don't understand why humans would invent such boring things as suits. I wouldn't wear them even if I was killed."

"You bastard, this is facing a big benefactor, we must not neglect!"

"I don't care about that."

The two quarreled for a while, and it ended in Bob's victory.

He was wearing clothes that were no different from his usual clothes and was going to meet the big benefactor, while Jeff was really serious about dressing himself meticulously. Can give the company a face.

The place where they met was a Chinese restaurant in Huaxia City in Boston, which surprised the two of them a little.

This Chinese restaurant is also a hot pot restaurant.
