Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

With the size of Su Rui Electronics, they don't care how much sales a product sold by a small company will have.

But when a product generates a certain amount of topical heat, it will be different.

Especially when this is a completely new product.

The president of Su Rui Electronics is called Kentaro Hayakawa, who is already in his sixties this year.

In the early years, Su Rui Electronics was a company that his father worked hard for, and started out as a TV set in his early years.

And their first product was TV, which sold well in Japan, and then began to expand their business, from radio to traditional home appliances, then to portable players, and then to the film and television industry.

But in any field they enter, they can become the leader in a short period of time, and no one can stop them.

After Kentaro Hayakawa took over his father's company, Su Rui Electronics developed even more rapidly under his leadership.

Now it has become an international giant company, especially in the field of electronics, which has few rivals.

Even after encountering Japan's economic bubble, the image of them is not as serious as imagined. They are considered to be one of the few large companies in Japan that have done well.

On his desk, the information about Youxing Electronic Entertainment Co., Ltd. is very detailed.

From launching a few months ago to the release of the first product called a home entertainment computer.

First, the topic gradually emerged in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and then expanded to the surrounding areas of Tokyo metropolitan area, and the popularity of the topic is also increasing.

Newspapers and magazines have begun to launch relevant sections, and the response has been enthusiastic.

Once anything related to electronics becomes a topic, it will immediately become the focus of Surui Electronics.

"Video games, game consoles, is this what the market calls this product?" Hayakawa Kentaro asked.

Kentaro Hayakawa's assistant stood directly opposite the president, and he immediately replied to the president's question: "That's right, the home entertainment computer should be a gimmick, this thing has almost no functions that a computer should have, the only function There's only one: video games."

"What kind of content is this video game?"

"This... is hard to say. It should be an electronic image that can be manipulated through specific buttons."

He paused, and then the assistant suddenly thought of something, so he added: "By the way, this kind of entertainment has appeared before, but it didn't cause much response. People still preferred to watch TV shows at that time."

This world can only be regarded as a depression in the game industry, and no one has really established the standards of the game industry.

But if we really talk about video games, there are indeed some traces.

The assistant said: "President, you can look at the back of the document. There are details about the so-called video games introduced earlier."

After hearing this, Hayakawa Kentaro turned to the next few pages and saw a brief introduction to a video game called Airplane Wars.

That is a video game made on a very rough radar imaging screen, and the display effect is not particularly good. It is said that it was popular in the United States for a while, and then the popularity gradually receded. There is no sign of it in Japan.

"What do you think of the product potential of this company?" Hayakawa Kentaro looked up and asked.

The assistant replied respectfully: "The potential is very good. According to our secret statistics, this game console called home entertainment computer has already been owned by more than 100,000 households in the Tokyo metropolitan area alone."

"And this is only three months, the achievements of a start-up company."

"Arrange people from the R\u0026D department to disassemble their product to see if it is easy to copy."

"It has been disassembled. The people in the R\u0026D department said that it is not difficult at all. Many of the components inside are even old antiques from seventeen or eighteen years ago."

Hayakawa Kentaro's eyes widened slightly.

"Things from seventeen or eighteen years ago?"

"Yes, it can be said that the technology is quite backward, but it is incredible to create a popular product."

Kentaro Hayakawa pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "It's understandable that the user acceptance of brand-new products is low, and it's not a big deal."

Then he asked: "So if we make a better product than them, where should we start?"

"People in the R\u0026D department now think that it may be possible to start by improving the hardware standards of game consoles, such as upgrading the same type of chips, memory and other components to a higher level, which was done in the past electronic products."

"Then let's try it first and make some samples. How long will it take to make it?"

"With the strength of our R\u0026D team, we can do it within a week."

"Okay, let's do it then."

At the same time, some other companies have also noticed the new entertainment products on the market.

Especially companies that used to operate dance machines or pachinko are doing the same thing as Su Rui Electronics.

Hope to get a piece of it.

And in one of the shops selling red and white machines, the store manager is checking the latest game consoles and game inventory.

"Manager, now we have more than 500 boxes of Dragon Quest in our store, and there are really not many people buying them."

As soon as the store manager heard about Dragon Quest, his heart ached.

According to the stipulations of the contract, if they want to order game consoles and games now, they must sell them all in a bundle, and it is up to Youxing Electronic Entertainment to decide how many game cartridges to give to each of them.

And they have no bargaining rights.

This is equivalent to the overlord clause, but it is also an overlord clause that cannot be refused.

But they thought that since Dragon Quest was not easy to sell, they might as well sell it at a lower price, for example, sell it directly at the purchase cost of Dragon Quest at 2,500 yen.

It certainly won't lose much.

However, there are clear requirements for the sales price of each game in the contract.

Promotions can be carried out to a certain extent, but not less than 10% of the retail price.

It's just a 10% price reduction, and people who don't like it won't buy it at all.

Then, the inventory builds up to now.

If there is a second way to choose, the store manager will definitely not want the hated Dragon Quest.

"Put it in the deepest part of the warehouse, I don't want to see this thing."

"But the store manager, this game is actually quite fun. I bought a box and haven't slept a wink for two days and nights, but I just don't understand why so few people actually buy it."

The clerk had a fairy look on his face and a look of bewilderment on his face.

Fortunately, he was young and energetic, and he was able to get up to work in two days and two nights. If he was a little older, his body would have collapsed earlier.

However, Dragon Quest is really fun!

"What's the use of having fun, and you can't buy several boxes of games." The store manager said angrily.

jingle.

At this time, the door of the store was opened.

"Hello, welcome." The clerk hurried out of the warehouse when he heard the doorbell.

"Hello, is there any Dragon Quest for sale here?"
