38. Open a game hall
"I, an old man, have just gone back. Today I have given you, a small capitalist, some face. I hope your company will not disappoint us," said Mr. Bai Xing.
Su Butong accompanied the chief to leave the conference room, and then sent them all the way to the Hongqi car. When the chief left, the others evacuated one after another.
Before leaving, the official reporter noticed that there were military tents and retired personnel here, so they started chatting out of curiosity. They found that Su Butong had suddenly placed many retired personnel within the company. He immediately understood the purpose of his superiors asking him to come. So he took advantage of the opportunity
Nothing to do, let’s interview Li Yibai and the others.
When they learned that Li Yibai's monthly salary can now exceed 10,000 yuan, the reporter was immediately envious. Now is the era of death wages. Although the army cannot spend much money, the monthly salary of 10,000 yuan is still more than most people imagine.
.
The next day, the official newspaper published an article titled "Making Cultural Development More Prosperous." The article introduced the chief's inspection visit to Zhanlong, and how Subudong and Zhanlong Company had developed science and technology and introduced high-level talents.
Earning foreign exchange abroad. It also introduces some internal situations of the company. It also introduces in the third page how Subudong Zhanlong arranges demobilized personnel. These demobilized officers and soldiers are even more astonishing. It makes some Beijing Military Region
The personnel waiting to be transferred all regard entering the War Dragon as their first choice goal.
The last time the official newspaper introduced Zhanlong Company, it attracted some attention. This time it was even more serious, making the public suddenly curious about Zhanlong and the products they produce. What exactly is a game console? What are those game screens?
?Nowadays, very few families across the country can own game consoles, but the advertising effect of two newspapers cannot stand up. Some people from slightly wealthy families in Beijing have already gone to Zhanlong Company to inquire about how to sell game consoles.
In response to this unexpected new situation, Su Butong made an immediate decision and contacted Nintendo to obtain authorization to act as a general agent to sell game consoles in China. The profit was divided 6:4, and Su Butong wanted 40% of the profit. According to the current exchange rate, a portion of the profit was added.
, the price of a red and white game console is about 220 yuan, which is equivalent to one-third of the price of the cheapest black and white TV. (At that time, a black and white TV was about 600 yuan, while the color one was 1,200 yuan. Sony's
Some models can reach more than 3,000 yuan, and they are cheap but not available.)
Nintendo felt that the TV market in China had not yet opened up. With Su Butong there to test the waters and sell game consoles, it was regarded as expanding the market. So it agreed to Su Butong's request. Zhang Yang went to Japan to sign a supplementary agreement with Nintendo.
.
These days, when cooperating with a Japanese company, Su Butong feels that it is too unsafe not to sign a contract. Although the Japanese company has a good credit, he is a big Japanese traitor if he can't stand it. Su Butong will not only do this kind of cheating in the future, but also do it in a big way.
Very dry.
Zhang Yang was already familiar with the trip to Kyoto. He quickly signed the agreement and brought the original documents back to the company for archiving. From now on, Japan will distribute about 100 red and white consoles for sale every quarter. In order to let people understand what is
For the Famicom, Su Butong specially built a game room in the front room, which was equipped with ten color TVs. The game consoles placed on each TV can be played, and each machine costs 2 cents per hour.
The business hours are from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and a few people are required to collect money. Su Butong doesn't care about the income of 2 cents per hour. At the end of the day, he only earns 24 yuan. This requires
It took him 4 years to recover the cost. But the advertising effect is endless. An introduction in the official newspaper is not enough. People also need to know what Zhanlong does and what the game does.
In particular, Su Butong asked the person who paid the fee to pay attention to the statistics of the differences in the game selection of different age groups. This is a kind of data statistics so that he can conduct some data analysis.
At this time, first the college students from nearby Zhongguancun came after hearing the news, and then middle school students and elementary school students. They all became very interested in this game console. Often two people would fight hard on the controller, while others pointed and did things beside them.
The dog-headed military counselor taught them how to play.
"Wang Daluo, did you know that Zhanlong is right across from our school? I heard that he also opened a game arcade. Let's go check it out after class?" The roommate who didn't have classes came to the dormitory to call for someone to see something strange.
"If you don't go, what's the point of this game?" Wang Daluo was lying on the bed reading martial arts novels.
"I went there yesterday. I got there late and had to queue up. Each machine can only play for one hour at a time, so hurry up and leave." The roommate couldn't help but put the martial arts novel aside and called Wang Daluo to come out.
Wang Daluo entered the game arcade and looked at the little people on the screen with some curiosity. There were many people watching behind each machine. He even educated them from behind, "There are stars on this platform, and celebrities are required to touch them."
one time……"
"Punk all the balloons and don't fall into the river..."
"If you see the little bees moving, you should hit them."
Wang Daluo asked his roommate: "Why is it so lively here?"
The roommate said: "You don't know this, right? This is the most popular place in the country right now. Many media have come here to understand what a game is. As future protagonists, we also need to understand this thing.
If I ask you to play it once today, you will know how fun it is."
Wang Daluo and his roommate chose Super Mario. Many years later, Wang Daluo will never forget the afternoon when his roommate took him into the arcade.
From that day on, Wang Daluo had an indissoluble bond with games. Years later, he played many kinds of games and found that his favorite games were always those FC games produced by Zhan Long.
That is the memory of his youth and the source of his happiness...
Some primary school students don't have much pocket money and have nothing to do after school, so they run behind others and wonder how the game is played. Sometimes they save up a week's pocket money and invite their classmates to come here and queue up to play games.
Here, there is no distinction between college students, middle school students, and primary school students by academic qualifications. They can only have the happiest time as an ordinary game fan.
As a result, there is often a scene here. Children often cry and shout, and their parents twist their ears and take them home. Some parents even ask the store to get back the money their children spent. In this regard, Su Butong's instructions are,
Always give money back to others. After all, we are not rich at this time, and children may steal their parents' money just to play. Su Butong plays games not only for his own happiness, but also to let more people share this kind of game with him.
Happy.
Through manual data collection, Su Butong found that college students, middle school students, and primary school students have different tastes. They like to play games like Super Mario that test their reactions, but they prefer games like Three Kingdoms that involve vertical and horizontal strategies. This is also related to the age level of knowledge.
Different game options bring different options.
