Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 956 Limited machine

Chapter 956 Limited Machine

  956

“Build a new production line specifically to manufacture red and white machines. The size of this red and white machine can be smaller, but the appearance needs to completely replicate the original red and white machine. Then, we will do a cool operation.”

"What?" Everyone watched Zhu Youxing continue to explain his sales methods. They now felt that several of Zhu Youxing's sales methods looked very weird. They had never thought of it before.

 But now let them see it, they still think that this method of limiting machines may not necessarily increase their income too much, right?

  After all, there are still only a few people who are really willing to buy more duplicate game consoles.

If Zhuyouxing knew what they were thinking, he would laugh and say that they still underestimated the purchasing power of players after all.

 In fact, the purchasing power of each player has not been fully released.

In his original world, some players would spend hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars on an online game just to get a high enough ranking in that Internet game world, or simply just to Want to look prettier than other people.

  A game like League of Legends that only sells skins can surpass all traditional item-charging games in terms of overall revenue for a certain period of time. It can be seen that the spending power of players is quite strong.

 These limited-edition machines are actually equivalent to the game’s ‘skin’ in the eyes of core game players.

 They will not refuse such a thing, they cannot refuse it.

"This time we can increase the production cost of the red and white machine to about a thousand yuan, use more better circuit components, and add built-in storage devices. At the same time, we have to do another thing, which is to sell numbers. The new model of red and white consoles will be launched with numbers from 000000 to 999999, a total of one million units. Everyone will implement a purchase restriction strategy, and one million units will be distributed to different regions around the world. As for the selling price of this game console...well... "

ˆ Zhu Yuxing thought for a moment, then quickly raised his head and said: "I will sell each unit for more than 5,000 yen."

 Everyone was stunned for a long time again this time.

“President...you said five thousand yen?”

 Someone couldn't help but asked tentatively.

“Yes, five thousand yen is about the same. Of course, this price can be adjusted to a certain extent, for example, it can be increased to six thousand yen, or even higher.”

Natsume Yasutaka couldn't help but ask: "Really... would anyone be willing to buy such an outdated product? And then buy it for more than forty or fifty US dollars?"

“Yes, believe me, do it first and start adding new red and white console production lines. Now Natsume Yasutaka, you can start promoting the materials and promote the replica red and white consoles on all platforms.”

 5,000 yen, which is much more expensive than when the Famicom was sold in the later period.

If this price were in the past, many people would probably think that Zhu Youxing was a lunatic, a guy who was blind to money, and only a fool would buy this kind of thing.

 Also numbered? Who cares about the six-digit number? It's just a fool's errand.

“President, shall we only launch one million units?”

"Well, just one million units. Of course, the Famicom production line can be re-adjusted and continue to produce other game consoles. After the Famicom, there will be SFC, one million sets of Super Famicom, and then GB... they will be launched step by step. "

this…

Everyone feels that the current president has really come up with some weird tricks.

 But does this really work?

 But after all, this is also the request and order of the president, and they are just the president's subordinates.

 In this company, Zhu Youxing is the only talkative person.

 Such a corporate structure has advantages and disadvantages.

 The development of such a company will completely rely on the decision-making of Zhu Youxing alone.

 Once Zhuyouxing makes a mistake in its decision-making, the losses to the company will also be catastrophic.

 However, Zhuyouxing has not made any decision that really caused big problems so far. At most, it will make less money.

 Zhuyouxing thinks that the sales behavior of the limited edition machine he launched for GB will be about the same.

This method is used temporarily to give some truly nostalgic players a chance to re-experience old games.

 Sometimes some players are more complicated.

They don’t want to play old games on new consoles because they lack that ‘feel’

  But if an old game console is placed in front of them, and even the operation and running logic of some games are still in the old form, they will be very happy to accept this behavior.

  Bamboo Youxing intends to allow these old players to realize their dreams.

 In his previous life, Zhu Youxing had several retro-level replicas of old game consoles on hand, and they became the treasures of Zhu Youxing and his father.

“By the way, President, you said there are other means, what would they be?”

“Well, don’t rush, take your time, publicize the current limited machine strategy well, and the subsequent strategies will continue to be promoted slowly.”

 Zhu Youxing is not in a hurry to use all his moves now.

 It is difficult to say that launching a limited-edition machine is enough to increase one's profits, and other sales methods will not be used.

 “Okay, president.” Natsume Yasutaka nodded and prepared to leave.

But just when he entered the elevator, he seemed to remember something again and turned back again.

“Oh, President, there is one more thing I want to tell you.”

"What?"

 “Someone is infringing.”

 “Infringement? How? Are you using our image to make money?”

Natsume Yasutaka nodded with a strange expression: "Yes, we are making money from our game character images, but this kind of profit is a little different."

 “Why is it different?”

“The people who make money from our video game images are those who make small movies, and a group of people who subscribe to 3D small videos on the Internet.”

 Zhu Youxing raised his eyebrows.

 Yo?

 It feels really familiar.

 “Elaborate.”

  Natsume Yasutaka looked at Takeyusei's reaction and blinked.

“President, what you meant in detail is...”

Zhu Youxing said: "Of course we need to explain in detail what kind of company size is infringing, otherwise what do you think it is?"

"Oh...it's nothing. Some of the small film companies that are currently infringing are relatively good-sized companies. They have not obtained our authorization and then use our characters to film at will. The president needs us to stop it. This kind of behavior? Because after all, it will still affect our image..."

Zhu Youxing said without hesitation: "There is no way to completely ban this kind of thing."

 “Then let’s…”

“Sue them for infringement and get more money from them. Just sue based on the popularity of different characters. We are currently in an economic downturn. I don’t know if this round of lawsuits can bring us additional revenue.”

“Oh, by the way, those private subscription-based profit-making activities will also be shut down. If you don’t make money, you won’t make it in vain.”

"Ok, I see."
