Chapter 386 Advice from a wealthy man

In May, Hongchuan Maple is returning to Neon Road.

In China, Hongchuan Electric has once again attracted the attention of the public.

After a month of media hype about the wrong decision between red and blue, Ruming finally came to a conclusion.

In the first week of the May Day holiday, both Hongchuan Electric and Nintendo announced the first-month sales of their respective home game consoles.

Hongchuan Electric FES has sold a total of 580,000 units, and Nintendo FC has sold a total of 420,000 units.

There is no doubt that Hongchuan Electric is slightly better in terms of quantity alone.

Professional media magazines also roughly estimated the actual shipments of the two companies from various channels.

The previously obtained sales volume is basically consistent with the data disclosed by the two companies.

So far, in the first round of red and blue duel, Hongchuan Electric won!

On that day, almost all gaming and computer magazines reported the news.

After all, it is considered a major event in the computer industry, and young people basically pay more or less attention to it.

With the gradual spread of influence, the market digestion speed of FES and FC is gradually increasing.

It can be predicted that as word of mouth ferments, their shipments will increase month by month until they reach the peak one day in the future.

However, the fierce competition between the two game consoles in the first month has already brought various attractions to the public.

In the market on the same day, not to mention the same price. Each of them can increase sales, and even in the advertisements, they can sing and appear, taking turns in the battle.

Hongchuan Electric invites artists to bring products, so Nintendo can also let idols sell products to passers-by on the streets.

In turn, Nintendo can hold themed events. Then Hongchuan Electric can also use the name of the event to invite heroes from all walks of life.

In short, the number of legs is dazzling and dizzying.

It’s hard to say that although they are not in a competitive relationship, the fact that they have been there several times has not helped to increase the popularity of home game consoles.

If we expand the cake, everyone will sell more, so it can be considered a win-win situation.

As for those professional magazines, in addition to the sales of the two game consoles, they even made statistics on their respective cartridge sales.

The top three games are all from Hongchuan Electric, namely "Pac-Man", "Tank Battle", and "Double Dragon". Their sales volume is more than 500,000 copies.

"Pac-Man" was the best seller at the beginning because of the bonus of Namco's proud IP.

As for the last two items, it was only through word-of-mouth and word-of-mouth spread among fans that they reached that high level before.

The next four or five are Nintendo's "Donkey Kong" and "Donkey Kong JR". The former has 400,000 copies and the latter has 360,000 copies.

It also benefits from the addition of Nintendo's IP in Jiaowang. They are the most widely known and the first thing everyone considers when buying game cartridges.

Several games produced by Hongchuan Electronics Shodong have sold more than 100,000 copies due to their themes.

It may not seem like much, but if it means sales in the first month, there is a lot of room for growth in the future.

Based on that list, the media also analyzed the reasons for Hongchuan Electric’s victory from various aspects.

The advantages of game console hardware are the basis for victory, and the richness of game cartridges and interesting games are the surefire way to win.

Apparently Nintendo is also aware of this, so in early May both companies announced their game release plans for this month.

Nintendo has added "Backgammon", "Mahjong" and "Tennis" games, while Hongchuan Electric has announced three games: "Gold Digger", "Circus" and "Motorcycle Racing".

Only by constantly adding new features to your game console can you ensure its long-term sales.

It is not difficult to see from the plans of the two companies that their competition is far from over and will continue for a long time in the future.

Regarding game consoles, the media has spent a lot of time reporting on Red and Blue, but Sega, one of the "three royal families", is rarely mentioned.

Of course, there was no lack of attention. Some magazines used a piece the size of a tofu cube. They probably mentioned it, but after the first month’s sales of 40,000, no one paid any attention to it.

Especially after Hongchuan Electric announced the "Golden Cross Game Creation Contest", Sega's remaining attention quietly moved away.

The Golden Cross Game Creation Contest, with a total prize pool of 10 million yuan per month, these words all stimulate the public's nerves.

Ten million yuan a month, even if it is divided equally among the top fifty, is still a huge amount.

Especially for young people, the salary of many college students right after graduation is 110,000 yuan.

It’s a far cry from the NT$3 million bonus awarded to the first place in the prize pool.

What's more, if he is one of the top three, if he aspires to be in the gaming industry in the future, Hongchuan Electric can even support him in setting up a personal studio.

All games released in the future will be divided into royalties in accordance with copyright law.

And as game developers, they can have their names printed in a conspicuous position on the game cartridge or CD.

After seeing that, many people took a breath of cold air.

Hiss~ Well, the conditions are too generous, right?

If you share the royalties, doesn't that mean that you can be like a writer? After you own your own works, you can enjoy them until you grow old.

There are many game cartridges that are famous. Is that such an honor?

Wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth, countless young people were deeply moved by it.

They seemed to have seen a brand new profession beckoning to them, and one that could make them rich overnight.

There are countless young people who like to play games, students in local schools, and young people who are already working in society.

They all began to study or learn how to program and how to turn the ideas in their minds into interesting games.

Of course, this is not the excitement Hongchuan Electric brings to young people. For stock investors, the real stimulus is not the stock price of Hongchuan Electric.

As the sales volume of the game console in the first month was announced, the fastest reaction was not the media, but the stock price in the stock market.

Stocks that had already gone through a surge were once again popular among investors in May.

After a week of fermentation, Hongchuan Electric’s stock price officially exceeded 3,500 yuan, and its total market value passed the 3 trillion threshold.

Looking back at the Neon Enterprise Market Value Ranking, Hongchuan Electric's name has now risen to around 15th place.

In those one or two months, Hongchuan Electric's stock was like a rocket, rising steadily.

Investment institutions are smiling, and investors are pouring in one after another.

I saw how luxuriantly the leeks were growing. Several securities companies were like old farmers, looking at the green chive fields and showing happy smiles.

Hongchuan Electric Co., Ltd.’s stock is not the only one to rise. Nintendo’s stock is also rising.

The stock price, which hovered around 200 to 300 yuan last year, jumped to more than 1,000 yuan next year, and the market value increased four to five times.

The reason for such a big change is that in its April financial report, Nintendo made a profit for the first time.

No, all the huge debts that Nintendo was burdened with have been cleared. In addition, there is a huge profit of 4 billion yuan per month.

Due to the income from handheld consoles in the past two years, the debt burden of more than 10 billion owed to Dongfang in previous years has finally been completely thrown away.

Its stock price has increased significantly in April. Although it lost a bit in the red-blue mismatch, the capital market is optimistic about the development of its game console business.

Therefore, if the feedback is that the stock price is there, the stock price, which was previously severely underestimated, has begun to rise sharply.

Once a company returns to its normal business trajectory and returns to a healthy financial situation, its market value will slowly return to the level it should be.

During the half month of neon disturbances, Hongchuan Feng on the other side of the source was not sure. At that time, he was on his way to communicate with Gang Leader Qiao and Gates.

Tokyo, Haneda Airport.

Hong Chuanfeng had just arrived from the east side of the plane and had not left the pick-up hall when suddenly a large group of people appeared in front of her.

"Hongchuan Sang, may I ask how Hongchuan Electric Appliances has entered the top fifteen companies in terms of market value? Facing the sudden increase in wealth, how do you feel?"

"Eh?" Hongchuan Feng was a little confused by the reporter who suddenly appeared, "Don't you deny the nineteenth place?"

"Eh?" The reporters looked at each other, then burst into laughter.

It turns out that Hongchuan-san didn't know that Hongchuan Electric was rising in the rankings.

Seeing his confused look, everyone even felt that the rich man in front of them was a bit ruthless.

At that time, the people from Hongchuan Electrical Appliances who came to pick up the plane finally squeezed in from the crowd.

That Oda Sang is Hongchuanfeng's travel assistant, and he is also Hongchuanfeng's junior student.

Because of Meiji's special recommendation and because he was smart and careful, Hongchuan Kaede arranged for him to exercise by his side.

Xiaotian squeezed next to Hongchuan Feng and reported the changes in the neon lights in the past two days. Only then did he show a look of astonishment.

"Hongchuan-san, you already have a wealth of US$6.9 billion based on market value. How did you achieve that in just a few years?"

Because of that question, Hongchuan Feng smiled and said, "Let go of your imagination and keep making progress."

This is not the business purpose of Hongchuan Electrical Appliances, and now he uses these words to answer. Encouragement is one thing, and advertising for one's own products is also another thing.

See, it would be different if the rich man just shut up. A double entendre, full of flair.

The surrounding reporters applauded one after another. They felt that Hong Chuan's smile had the flavor of Ye Chang Yueyuan, and everyone was yearning for it.
