Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 27 You have to admit it even though I\'m obviously trying to trick you.
Chapter 27 I’m obviously trying to trick you, but you have to admit it
“What? You can start making the game console this afternoon?”
“Should we be able to produce at least twenty units in the afternoon?”
“I want it all! Give it to me today if you can, and I can buy your game console in full right now.”
Hearing Zhu Yuxing give him a brief introduction to the current situation of the company, Ohta Masaru decided to buy more than 20 game consoles immediately without hesitation.
He has already taken out half a million in cash from his wallet, and he plans to go to a nearby bank to withdraw money immediately.
And he had no intention of bargaining.
Zhu Yuxing also didn’t expect Da Tian Zheng to be so generous.
However, he quickly understood what the other party was thinking.
Game consoles should be very popular now, and children or many adults have begun to become interested in this new entertainment product.
Then, after a month, maybe I will be able to make a good profit by the time it is officially launched.
Until now, Zhuyouxing has planned to use the entertainment hall as a promotional channel.
Moreover, this channel is free, and people have to give money to themselves. This kind of publicity opportunity is very rare.
At the same time, Takeyusei also felt that Ohta Masaru was a very shrewd guy. He could immediately realize the value of this thing and was very motivated. He couldn't wait to find him, just to make more money as soon as possible. .
It is most pleasant to work with such people, simply and directly.
But now, Zhu Yuxing still plans to give Ota Masa a vaccination first: "Ota Mr., my suggestion is not to buy any more, because we are about to go into mass production. As long as you can wait a week, you can If you buy a game console for 100,000 yuan, you can buy it for 50,000 yuan in two weeks, and it will be even cheaper in a month.”
Anyway, the cost price of this thing is just over 2,000 yen. Even if it is sold for 5,000 yen per unit, the profit will be doubled.
"No, I want it now, but I don't want more, twenty-five, at most twenty-five is enough." Da Tian was shaking his head.
He knows better than anyone how terrible the benefits this thing brings are now.
Zhu Yuxing's suggestion may be good. After one week, you can save 100,000 yen for a game console, which is equivalent to saving 1 million.
But sometimes making money is a race against time.
Saving one million now may result in making two million less in one week. He can still figure out this kind of accounting.
This thing is so popular now, but it may change in a week, and these children will gradually get tired of it.
So even though a game console costs 200,000 yuan now, he decided to buy it.
“Well, I think you can pick up the goods before getting off work in the afternoon.”
If it weren't for the sake of face, Da Tianzheng would now go up and help assemble the machine himself without having to pay a commission salary.
It's impossible for Zhu Youxing to ask him to help.
Suddenly, Zhu Youxing thought of a story about a boss in his previous life who went into a factory to tighten screws. It was somewhat similar to the current scene.
In the afternoon, Honda Rimi and others came to work as agreed. Whenever someone passed by Ohta Masaru, Ohtamasa would enthusiastically hand each of them a cigarette or a bottle of water and a dessert. stuff like that, and kept saying thank you for your hard work, and I’ll leave everything to you.
This confused Honda Rimi and others, thinking that the bald man was a shareholder of the company.
ˆAfter some training given to them by Zhu Youxing, they can already divide their labors to carry out assembly work.
Airi Hayazawa, who had nothing to do, also ran up to help assemble the game console.
When she knew that she could get an extra commission of 500 yen for assembling one of this thing, she couldn't help it.
No matter what you say, she will go up and help.
Takeyusei had no choice but to let her go for the time being. At least in the short term, Airi Hayasawa would not play a big role. She only needed to be responsible for optimizing the game console hardware in the future.
Then Zhu Yuxing stayed downstairs, lying alone in front of his desk and continuing to type code on the computer to create Dragon Quest.
He has finished half of the Dragon Quest, and he should be able to finish it all in a few days.
All that's left is to find an artist, add some original painting settings for the game, and you're done.
In fact, the first generation of Dragon Quest was not particularly attractive to players at the beginning, and the reasons for its success were somewhat coincidental.
However, the subsequent second and third generations almost completely established the development direction of role-playing games, which is equivalent to setting a template.
Many subsequent games are almost constantly optimized in the shadow of Dragon Quest.
For example, the branch system, equipment, levels, cave exploration, random encounters, etc.
Of course the story itself also has a certain appeal.
Zhuyusei intends to use the core of the first-generation plot, plus the optimized game templates of the second and third generations, to create a Dragon Quest that is full of gameplay from the beginning, taking the essence and discarding the dross, while also Improved the image quality a little bit to make the characters look more vivid.
It’s just that this will consume more hair and type more code, but it is better than the 3A games that can easily be produced by hundreds of people in later generations.
Otta Masaru, who was idle waiting for the game console to be assembled, came to Zhuyusei's side and curiously looked at the dense codes on the computer screen.
He only felt dazzled for a while when he looked at the codes. Only the occasional game screen that popped up would make him recover a little.
“Zhuyou-kun, may I ask what this is?”
Ota was discovering that those game screens seemed to have nothing to do with Super Mario, and the businessman's keen sense of smell once again allowed him to discover something.
"This is a new game. A game console can not only run one game. I plan to have more games and more options. Just like a TV show, there are always some people who like this, and some people like it. Love that.”
Da Tianzheng's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this.
Zhu Youxing's explanation is already very straightforward.
Indeed, he also found that a small number of passing children in his entertainment hall came in with curiosity and left soon after watching others play Super Mario.
He could see that some children were indeed not interested in Super Mario.
But there are only about three or four.
This also illustrates how high the quality of the Super Mario game itself is.
It is almost equivalent to a TV series with explosive ratings. More than 90% of children like this game.
Now Zhuyouxing said that it will have more games, which means that the audience will be larger.
Also, children who may have been bored by Super Mario will become interested in new games again, just like they are interested in new TV shows.
In this way, the income from his game machine will also be higher!
“Zhuyou-kun, is this game included in the game console that will be produced later?”
Zhu Youxing turned around and showed a kind expression: "Sorry, no, you have to buy this separately."
Ota Masaru: “…”
This kind of smile is not friendly no matter how you look at it.
On the contrary, it is full of treachery.
“So…do I just need to buy one copy or…”
“One piece per machine.”
"How much does it cost? Takeyu-kun?" Ohta suddenly felt a little humble.
But it is obviously a seller's market now. If Zhu Youxing does not provide his own products, he will have nothing to do.
Because until now, it seems that no one else is doing the same thing as Zhu Youxing.
"Compared to the game console you bought, the game is actually very cheap. I don't intend to trick you in this regard. After all, if possible, I would like to do business with you all the time. Besides, are you interested in doing bigger business?"
Otamasa's heart suddenly beat violently several times.
But he, who has weathered many storms, does not show it on his expression.
“Big business? What kind of big business?”
“Probably, it’s a big business with a scale of tens of billions.” Zhu Youxing turned back to look at the computer screen, checking the code for errors, and said lightly at the same time.
As if tens of billions are not a number worth paying attention to at all.
Da Tian was suddenly full of energy.
