The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang Chapter 443

  Chapter 443 "Donkey Kong" that is popular in Europe and America (7K chapters, please subscribe~)

   Xiangjiang, Hong Kong Island, Deep Water Bay!

  Bao Tianming returned from North America after a long journey, and together with him were Chen Haichao who came back early, Liu Pingkui and Zhu Xiaozhao who had been in Xiangjiang all the time.

  Of course there is Chu Huan!

   "Brother Tianming, I heard that your Wolf Smoke game is now in North America, is it especially popular in Europe?"

  Liu Pingkui looked at Bao Tianming enviously while shaking his naked flesh.

  Liu Pingkui led a crew to Hawaii for filming years ago. Only a few directors have such high-standard treatment in black and white images.

  I saw the arcade machine of "Donkey Kong" in Liu Pingkui, Hawaii.

  Bao Tianming preached a little embarrassingly: "Actually, the early sales of "Donkey Kong" in Europe and the United States still had some problems."

  Zhu Xiaozhao went to Japan a few years ago to check the operation of Yunhai Chain in Japan. At that time, he also saw that some major cities in Japan also had the game "Donkey Kong".

So Zhu Xiaozhao said with some doubts: "How can it be? I remember what Brother Huan said before, first to do the European and American markets, and then to the Japanese market. Now this game has entered the Japanese market. Will there still be problems in Europe and America?"

  Bao Tianming saw everyone's curious eyes, so he began to tell everyone about the situation of "Donkey Kong" just released in North America.

   Time goes back to October last year!

  North America, Seattle!

  This is located in Washington State, North America.

  After Bao Tianming arrived in North America, he first met with a few dealers who had made appointments in New York, and then he started to lead the company's team to the North American market.

  Caribbean Bar is the largest bar in Seattle. When arcade game halls were not officially popular, many arcade games were actually placed in the bar for guests to play.

  The earliest pong is like this.

   "Manager, this is the largest bar in Seattle, Flame Bar!"

   Together with Bao Tianming, a team of 100 people came to North America, including expert negotiators, translators, and marketing experts. Of course, there are also local North American employees.

  The entire team was divided into fifteen groups by Bao Tianming, with ten members in each group, responsible for each city in North America.

   Bao Tianming brought a team to Seattle.

  The first bar they run today is the Flame Bar, the largest bar in Seattle.

  The group of ten people was divided into three teams, and they ran to different places, some in bars, some in university campuses, and some in other places.

  Bao Tianming chose the hardest bone to crack.

  Push the door and go in, the slightly dim bar environment, guests of different colors, there is a billiard table in the middle of the bar, and several motorcycle gangs are playing billiards.

   Seeing Bao Tianming and the others coming in, no one cared.

  Bao Tianming didn't care about the situation at the scene. He led his team straight to the bar and found the boss through the waiter.

   "Haha, everyone, have you heard that this Xiangjiang person actually wants to sell their arcade machines? Have you ever heard that Xiangjiang has arcade machines?"

   After hearing Bao Tianming's reason for coming, the owner of Flame Bar, Nick Yang, couldn't help laughing loudly.

   The guests at the bar are obviously familiar with Nick Young, and after hearing what Nick Young said, they all laughed.

   Faced with the laughter of these people, Bao Tianming didn't really care. It would be strange if this kind of thing went well!

"Mr. Nick Yang, although our company is only a newly established game company, we are very confident in this game, and for this game, we have spent 113 million US dollars in research and development expenses, which is definitely a world-leading game. game!"

  Bao Tianming also included the production cost.

  Nick Yang was not surprised when he heard Bao Tianming say that their game had spent 113 million dollars in research and development, but he laughed even louder.

   "I thought only Little Japan likes to brag, but I didn't expect you Xiangjiang people to brag too? 113 million US dollars, this is enough to buy Atari."

Bao Tianming continued to persuade: "If Mr. Nick Yang doesn't believe it, you can put two machines here and let your guests or yourself try it out. I believe that Mr. Nick Yang will believe what I said. It's time!"

"Fart, what do you think my flame bar is? This is the best bar in Seattle, and the best arcade game in North America is available here. You want to put your own machine here, It's just a fool's dream.

Don't think I don't know what you think, I just want to use our flame bar to advertise, and then tell those other stupid bar owners that our flame bar also puts your arcade game, so as to open up your arcade game market. "

  Nick Young thinks he has seen through everything.

   Faced with the opponent's bad attitude, Bao Tianming remained unmoved, just wanted to continue to fight, but Nick Young obviously didn't want to give Bao Tianming this opportunity.

  After the reprimand, Bao Tianming and the others were kicked out!

  Standing at the door of the Flame Bar, Bao Tianming looked helpless, "It's a bad start!"

   After sighing, Bao Tianming regained his energy and said: "Let's go, go to the next bar, I believe Nick Young will come to us soon!"

   Then they came to the Caribbean Bar not far from the Flame Bar. The Flame Bar is the largest bar in Seattle, so the Caribbean Bar is the second largest bar in Seattle!

  The owner of the Caribbean bar is a white man named Randall.

   "No, No, No, we don't play Xiangjiang people's arcade games here!"

  Randall made the same decision as Nick Young after knowing that Bao Tianming was selling arcade machines, and immediately said that he didn't need Xiangjiang's games.

  But the attitude of the other party is much better than that of Nick Young.

  Bao Tianming didn't change his face when he faced Nick Young just now, let alone Randall, who had a more harmonious attitude.

"Mr. Randall, we don't need money for the arcade, we just need to put it here with you, two days, it only takes two days, if no one plays this game within two days, we will withdraw our machine, and will pay you for two days at the same time!"

  Bao Tianming expressed his meaning to Randall through a translator.

  The reason why Bao Tianming did this was not because he believed in how fun the game "Donkey Kong" was, but because he purely believed in Chu Huan's judgment.

  Chu Huan said that this game will be popular in Europe and America, so Bao Tianming believes that this game will definitely be popular in Europe and America.

   Of course, this is also because of the self-improvement communication style that I just had with Nick Young.

  That's why Randall was given such a generous condition.

  After listening, Randall showed a suspicious expression, and asked Bao Tianming suspiciously: "You really don't want money?"

   "Of course, it must!"

  Bao Tianming saw Randall's intentional expression, and immediately preached firmly.

"Well, if this is the case, your arcade machine can be kept here for two days, but I still want to tell you that no one will play Xiangjiang's arcade games, if it is an arcade game from Atari, it is possible! "

  Randall told Bao Tianming one more word because the two arcade machines did not require money.

   In addition, Randall is really thinking about putting a few arcade machines in his bar recently. The Flame Bar next to him bought Atari's arcade machines, which caused many customers in his bar to go to him.

Originally, he wanted to buy an Atari machine, but thinking of the high price of the arcade machine, he has been hesitant. Now that he is fine, a person from a Xiangjiang game company who came out of nowhere came to him The arcade machine is sold, and there is no problem in trying it without spending money.

  Although it is not an Atari game!

   At this time, Nintendo and Sega have not yet risen, and Atari is the giant in the game market.

   "I think in two days, you won't be talking to me like that!"

  Bao Tianming smiled and preached to Randall.

   Randall curled his lips and said nothing more, while Bao Tianming confessed that one of his subordinates was watching here 24 hours a day, and he didn't believe in the character of these people.

   Seeing Bao Tianming's behavior, Randall was speechless for a while.

  In fact, after only one day, Randall was extremely glad that he didn't drive out Bao Tianming, a Xiangjiang game dealer, from the door.

   "Fuck, Joel, how long are you going to play? Do you know that we have been waiting in line for 30 minutes, believe it or not, if you dare to throw another penny in it, I will blow your head off!"

  A burly man in a leather jacket with a beard stood in front of a "Donkey Kong" arcade machine, looking angrily at the man sitting there having fun.

  Joel was weak and didn't dare to argue with him, but murmured: "Joy has been playing for a long time, why don't you talk about him?"

  The man in leather snorted coldly: "Nonsense, am I Joey's opponent?"

After speaking, he picked up Joel impatiently, threw it aside, and then took out 25 cents in his pocket and put it in it. Donkey Kong appeared, and the man in leather smiled "haha" and moved his wrist. , proudly said: "Look, I will definitely rescue Pauline!"

   Pauline, the heroine in "Donkey Kong".

  In less than 30 seconds, the man in the leather jacket died.

   "Geng, I don't think I need to wait another day to make a decision. I can make a decision now!"

Randall stayed in the bar all the time, witnessed with his own eyes how popular the game "Donkey Kong" was in his bar, and watched these people throw 25 cents, 25 cents almost in less than 30 seconds. After entering one, he knew that he had made money this time.

A machine costs 50 cents a minute, $1 for two minutes, and $30 for an hour. The bar is open every day from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. the next day, a total of 16 hours. Earn $480.

  The selling price of a machine is 2,500 US dollars, and it only takes less than 6 days to earn back the cost, and then it is all money earned!

  He seemed to see that in the days to come, banknotes would continue to enter his pockets.

  Of course, this is just a fantasy. The real situation should be about 10 days, which can almost pay off!

  Staying in the Caribbean Bar is Geng Yunzhou from the security department of Jiaku Consulting Company. The most important reason why Geng Yunzhou was sent by Lin Feng to protect Bao Tianming is that Geng Yunzhou was the first bodyguard who mastered English communication in Jiaku Consulting Company.

   Those who come from their hometowns who join the security department of Jiaku Consulting Company not only need to continue to maintain their physical fitness here, but also receive some additional training.

  Foreign languages ​​are one of them. Being able to master more foreign languages ​​will make their artificial intelligence higher.

   At this time, Geng Yunzhou held the draft beer mug in his hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Randall, our boss will be in Seattle these two days and will not leave. You don't have to worry if you want to see him."

   Randall thought that Geng Yunzhou was making things up on purpose, and hurriedly said: "Worry, why not worry, I very much hope that I can get the ownership of these two machines as soon as possible!"

Geng Yunzhou smiled and said: "Mr. Randall, you misunderstood me. What I mean is, shouldn't you explain to Mr. Nick Yang why your bar suddenly Do you have so many guests?"

   Randall's eyes lit up. In this world, no one can refuse an opportunity to pretend to be slapped in the face.

   "Haha, yes, yes, I really should tell Nick Young, after all we are good friends!"

   Geng Yunzhou curled his lips slightly. Today he heard Randall scolding Nick Young 38 times. If this is a friend, then these two must be a pair of friends who love and kill each other seriously!

  Nick Yang felt a little strange at this time. The guests in his bar left a bit early tonight. People often came in, whispered a few words to the guests in his bar, and then turned and left together.

What's happening here?

   "Phil, it's not even 12 o'clock, why are you leaving?"

  Nick Yang grabbed an old customer and asked curiously. At the same time, he looked at the man next to Phil with unfriendly eyes. It was because he came and said a few words to Phil, and Phil was about to leave.

At this time, Phil said with a flushed face: "Nick, my friend said that there are two very good arcade machines at the Caribbean Bar, so I am going to go to see what kind of arcade machines can make my friend like this. Admired."

   "Haha, what kind of thing should I be? I also have an arcade machine here, and it's the latest game released by Atari. You can play as much as you want!" Nick Yang said with a big smile.

Phil's friend shook his head and said, "It's different. I saw the arcade at the Caribbean Bar. It's a completely different kind of arcade game. It has a very good picture and is very interesting. Your arcade here can't compare with it. !"

   "How is this possible?" Nick Yang immediately denied, "Are there any arcade games that I don't know?"

   "There are really things you don't know!"

   At this time, Randall walked in with a proud face.

   "Randall, what are you doing here?" Nick Young's expression sank when he saw Randall.

  The two bars are both the top two in Seattle, and they are so close to each other. It is impossible to say that there is no grievance.

  Randall has always wanted to manage the Caribbean Bar better than the Flame Bar, but he has not found a better way, but today is different, Randall thinks he has found a winning chip.

  Look at the current number of guests in the Flame Bar, and you will know that your Caribbean bar has surpassed the other party.

   "I didn't do anything. I wanted to learn about your management style, but I didn't expect that your place is not as crowded as our Caribbean bar. It seems that I found the wrong place!"

After Randall said the next sentence, he turned around proudly and left, but he stopped suddenly when he had just walked halfway, then smiled and looked at Nick Young and said: "By the way, you are not welcome to steal teachers in our bar. !"

   After saying this, Randall laughed and left here.

Sometimes, some things are like this, the less you let people do something, the more attractive it will be, and now is no exception, the more Randall prevents Nick Young from seeing it, the more Nick Young wants to see it. I went to see it.

  So just after Randall left the Flame Bar, Nick Young went to the Caribbean Bar, and then saw the popularity of the two arcade games of "Donkey Kong"!

  At the same time, he also saw Geng Yunzhou who was sitting at the bar and greeting Randall, and soon he recognized that Geng Yunzhou was the person who went to his bar with that Xiangjiang person to sell arcade machines.

  Nick Young didn't make a judgment immediately, but went to two arcade machines to see what the game was like.

  For half an hour, I watched those alcoholics sitting in front of the arcade machine and kept refilling coins.

  Nick Young got it.

  Everything is understood!

  It turns out that Xiangjiang people really know how to make games!

   Still such a hot game!

  After figuring this out, Nick Yang's attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn, wishing he could confess Geng Yunzhou as his own father on the spot

  After seeing such a situation, Randall naturally felt as if he was facing a big enemy, and he also understood that Geng Yunzhou's behavior just now was to let himself help them promote the game!

   But it's futile to understand all of this at this time, and such a popular game, even if you want to hide it, you can't hide it!

  Fortunately, Randall believes that he was the first to establish a relationship with Wolf Smoke Games, so he should also receive more care.

  In fact, Bao Tianming did give Randall a chance to make a fortune.

   "Mr. Randall, I think you have seen the power of these two arcade machines!"

   When Bao Tianming came to the Caribbean Bar for the second time, the treatment he received was completely different. Randall personally served Bao Tianming with beer.

   "I see, I see, Mr. Bao, don't worry, I will pay you now!"

   Randall hurried to preach.

   "Mr. Randall, this is just a small amount of money. I still have a big money-making business in my hands. I just don't know if you are interested!"

  At this moment, Randall no longer had any doubts about Bao Tianming, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Bao, please tell me?"

   "Although these two machines are in your bar, they are also attracting money very much at this time, but this kind of money comes relatively slowly."

   "Not too late!" Randall retorted immediately, thinking of what he had just settled.

  Bao Tianming continued to laugh and said, "Mr. Randall, you made a mistake. Now there are only two arcade machines. What if there are ten, twenty, or fifty arcade machines?"

  Randall's breathing is a little short, one machine can earn 480 US dollars a day, if there are 50 machines, wouldn't it be possible for him to earn 2,400 US dollars a day, so why do he make a bar!

After being excited, I was also worried. After thinking for a while, Randall immediately thought of the dilemma he was facing, and said: "The things Mr. Bao said are indeed very attractive, but there are some things that I can't just do. 50 machines, then I don't need to make a bar, and the cost of these 50 machines, the machine alone needs 125,000 US dollars, which is not something I can afford.”

  Since Bao Tianming raised this matter with the other party, he naturally had a solution, and he said with a smile.

"In Seattle, Mr. Randall, you are the first one to choose to support us, so we also hope that Mr. Randall's business will grow bigger and bigger, so we are very willing to support Mr. Randall to expand his business. business territory, so we are willing to provide Mr. Randall with two cooperation plans!"

  Randall became more and more interested, and hurriedly asked, "What plan?"

Bao Tianming had already prepared the belly draft, and said: "The first cooperation plan is that our Wolf Smoke Game is willing to provide Mr. Randall with 50 machines for free, but we will account for 50% of the sales of each machine. .”

   Randall frowned a little. He had already seen the huge profits generated by arcade games, so he was naturally unwilling to share his profits with Wolf Smoke Games.

Bao Tianming didn't care about Randall's expression, and continued to talk: "As for the second plan, it is also very simple. We also provide you with 50 machines for free, Mr. Randall, but we don't need profit sharing. , Mr. Randall only needs to increase the purchase price of the arcade machine by 20% and return it to us within 15 days. During this period, the key to the arcade machine will be kept by us. How about clearing the money and goods after 15 days?"

   After listening to it, Randall took almost no time to think about it, so he chose the second option!

  After seeing Randall's choice, Bao Tianming immediately asked Geng Yunzhou to bring the contract they prepared to Randall to sign. Of course, there are still many details in it.

  For example, after Randall's arcade game hall opens, it must unconditionally cooperate with the promotion of Wolf Smoke Games' new games.

   For example, high liquidated damages!

for example

  The two parties understood the terms of the contract word by word, and after Randall understood the meaning above, they still signed happily.

As for the breach of contract, Bao Tianming is not worried. This cooperation is in charge of the North American registered Beacon Game. If the other party really dares to breach the contract, Bao Tianming can guarantee that the legal team of Beacon Game can make Randall pay for the rest of his life directly. Be a bum!

   Not only in Seattle, but also in other cities in North America, such things are constantly happening.

  So just one "Donkey Kong" not only helped Wolf Smoke Games open up the arcade game market in Europe and America, but also initially established its own promotional channels.

   It's not obvious right now though.

   After listening to Bao Tianming's description, everyone showed different expressions, and Liu Pingkui asked in puzzlement.

   "Brother Tianming, why do you want to help that Randall do business, since the "Donkey Kong" game is already popular, there is no need for it?"

Before Bao Tianming could speak, Chen Haichao had already complained about Liu Pingkui, saying: "You are stupid, Wolf Smoke Games is not the only game "Donkey Kong", there will definitely be countless games released in the future. The introduction of people like Randall in the city is basically the best publicity channel to control the immature arcade market. The arcade game halls of Randall and others are likely to become the vane leading arcade games in the future. The game is investing in advance!"

   "So that's how it is!" Liu Pingkui suddenly realized, and then said to Bao Tianming: "Brother Tianming, you are too powerful!"

At this time, Bao Tianming smiled reservedly: "I am a specific implementer, and A Huan is the one who is really powerful. This method was told to me by A Huan before, and at the beginning I was still thinking about 10 places in Europe and America. 10,000 arcade machines are a bit too much, but I didn't expect that in just three months, the 100,000 units in Europe and the United States have been digested.

  Now the two places have added 20,000 units each, and I plan to send the remaining 40,000 units to Europe and the United States after a few days! "

   "That's 140,000 units!" Even Chen Haichao, who is in charge of Kyushu, couldn't help being surprised when he heard this number.

"I remember when you were in New York, you told me that the profit of each machine was 1,750 US dollars, and the previous shipments to Europe and the United States were not 100,000 units, but 104,500 units, which is a profit of 183 million US dollars? "

  Hearing what Chen Haichao said, Liu Pingkui and Zhu Xiaozhao both showed extremely shocked expressions.

  They knew that Chu Huan invested a total of 113 million US dollars in the creation of Wolf Smoke Game.

  It's only been two months now, and it's actually paid back, not only paid back, but also made a profit of 183 million US dollars.

   And now, according to Bao Tianming, there are still 40,000 units that need to be sent to North America immediately. That is to say, if these 40,000 units are also sold, it will be a profit of 70 million US dollars.

  If you add follow-up words.

   The two couldn't believe the data.

The game industry has always been a huge profiteering industry. Atari, for example, was officially established in 1972. It has been tepid in the past few years. In 1982, Atari relied on the "Space Invaders" The game was ported to Atari2600, which quickly doubled the sales of Atari2600, which had been selling poorly. In just one year, more than 20 million Atari2600s were sold, while the previous sales of Atari2600 game consoles were only 200,000 to 300,000 units per year, the most was in 1981, when 1 million units were sold.

   That's because their competitors went bankrupt.

   This directly brought Atari's market value to 15 billion US dollars!

   And all this depends on just one game, a game console that is not very good.

   This is why Chu Huan insisted on entering the game industry.

  This industry is really a money-printing industry!

  To be honest, let alone Zhu Xiaozhao and Liu Pingkui, even Bao Tianming himself couldn't believe this statistic.

  "At the beginning, those dealers didn't believe that the arcade games produced by Xiangjiang had a market in Europe and the United States, but there were no good games in the local arcade game market, so they reluctantly ordered some.

   But when the game became popular in the bar of Randall and others, the situation changed immediately. From point to point, the game "Donkey Kong" took less than three months to become popular all over Europe and America! "

  Bao Tianming preached with some excitement.

   "By the way, Xiao Zhao just said that he also saw the game "Donkey Kong" in Japan. How is his sales in Japan?"

  Liu Pingkui thought of what Zhu Xiaozhao said just now, and immediately asked Bao Tianming.

   Continue to code, and I am sorry to ask for a monthly pass~~
