Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 15 I bought it!
Chapter 15 I bought it!
The income of 20,000 yen a day brought a great impact to the store manager.
This is double the income.
It's hard to imagine what kind of magic this thing has.
However, he is very keen on business and has realized the value of this thing.
He wants to buy this machine!
And the more, the better!
Haven’t you seen the group of children waving the coins in their hands, as if they could put in unlimited amounts?
In the end, because there were too few machines, many of these children left with regrets and did not have the chance to play for too long.
If there are enough machines, then all the money in the hands of these children will be theirs!
Thinking of this, the store manager has been waiting for the arrival of Zhu Youxing since early in the morning.
He believes that Zhu Youxing will definitely come today.
Judging from the shrewd look in the young man's eyes when he was talking to himself, there was no reason why he didn't know how popular his product was.
Sure enough, Bamboo Youxing is really here.
When the clerk informed him, he jumped up from his seat almost instantly.
At this moment, he couldn't even care about his already red eyes.
“Sir, it’s a pleasure to have you here again.”
This time, the store manager was obviously much more polite.
Because this time it is no longer the other party who wants something from you, but you yourself want something from the other person.
Facing the store manager’s expression, Zhu Youxing was not surprised at all.
“Hello store manager, I’m here to collect the money you put in yesterday.”
"Of course, that all belongs to you, but before that, I have another thing I want to ask."
"What?"
Zhu Youxing asked rhetorically.
And his expression actually proved that Zhu Youxing had a premonition of what the other party was going to say.
“I would like to ask, what you said the day before yesterday, that I can buy this machine directly if I am interested, does it still count?”
Zhu Youxing smiled: "Of course, if you are really interested, of course it counts."
“Then...how much does this machine cost? After a day of consideration, I decided to buy it.”
ˆ Zhu Youxing showed a very 'friendly' smile.
Of course, in the eyes of this store manager, this smile is a perfect example of a profiteer.
The store manager, who has been doing business for so many years, immediately understood that the other party was about to start talking.
“It costs 200,000 yen per unit. How many units do you need?”
“Two...puff cough cough.”
Hundred 200,000 yen.
This is not a small amount of money.
In current Japan, the price of a computer is only 150,000 to 60,000 yen at most.
Unless it is a higher-end professional computer for enterprises.
This is the period after the economic bubble burst.
Computers, something that is indispensable to life, immediately became the fastest depreciating thing.
Now if you buy a normal computer from an individual, you can probably get a good one for 50,000 to 60,000 yen.
This game console costs 200,000 yen.
This is almost a money grab.
The actual cost of this game console is only 2,000 yen.
One thousand yen of which is the cost of the game console’s circuit board processor.
Five hundred yen is the cost of a mass-customized red and white shell made of cheap material.
The remaining 500 yen are all kinds of included power cords and other messy things.
Of course this does not include labor costs.
After all, this is something that Takeyusei himself and Airi Hayasawa have done. If you include the cost of Airi Hayasawa's daily salary, the cost is only 3,000 yen at most.
Bamboo Youxing just wants the lion to open his mouth.
For individual users, Zhuyouxing can be sold cheaper.
However, if it is this kind of business, Zhuyouxing will not care at all if it is cheated.
“Two…two hundred thousand yen is too much. This machine doesn’t look expensive, sir…”
“My name is Zhu Youxing.”
“Oh! Mr. Zhuyou, can you make it cheaper? Of course, if you have enough machines, I am willing to buy them in bulk, at least ten.”
At the side, Airi Hayasawa looked expressionless.
But when Takeyusei called out 200,000 yen for one unit, and the other party was willing to buy ten units, Airi Hayasawa couldn't help but twitched his face.
Zhu Yuxing said leisurely: "Store manager, let me do the math for you. If nothing goes wrong yesterday, the income of this machine should be around 17,000 yen?"
“Uh…it should be twenty thousand…”
Zhu Youxing was slightly startled.
This is beyond my expectation.
He remembered that the children should already be very good at playing this game.
Once you are proficient, it is usually no problem to play for four or five minutes with one coin.
"Twenty thousand? Then that's doubled. Boss, think about it. A machine costs 200,000. Even in the worst case scenario, you only need about ten days to make back your capital with interest. .”
In terms of coin income, the store manager has no way to hide it.
Because Zhuyouxing only needs to check the number of coins in the coin box to know clearly.
So the store manager could only answer honestly.
And this happens to be where Zhu Youxing is most confident.
The store manager had no reason to refuse at all.
Because the income is so explosive.
Of course, a machine cannot earn 20,000 yuan every day.
But even if the daily income is only 10,000, it is still blood money.
If all ten machines are purchased, the capital will be paid back in twenty days, and no matter how many days are left, it will be pure profit.
Pachinko is indeed very profitable.
But it's not for children.
But this game console can harvest children’s pocket money.
It sounds cruel, but what businessmen need to consider is profit.
“So…two hundred thousand, there’s no need to negotiate the price, because besides putting a machine in your place, I’ve also put it in other places.”
The store manager immediately became nervous when he heard Zhu Youxing's words.
"I came to you first. If you don't want to buy it at this price, I think there will always be people in the next dozen places who are willing to buy it."
Zhu Youxing's smile became brighter and brighter, and he looked very approachable.
But the store manager became more and more aware of Zhu Youxing's plan.
It is really...an irresistible reason to refuse.
Zhu Yuxing looked at the store manager's silent expression, and he spoke again: "Let me tell you this, so far, this game console has been built by my partner and I, bit by bit. There are not many in total, so the price will be more expensive.”
"If you buy in advance, you can make more money in advance. When my machine starts mass production, you will definitely be able to buy it at a cheaper price, but by that time, it is estimated that more places will have the game machine, more players will be attracted to different places."
Zhu Youxing gently touched the casing of the Famicom.
“Do you want to earn this rare and expensive money in advance? Or do you want to earn it slowly after mass production?”
“I bought it! Ten units, I can give you cash now.”
