442, "Donkey Kong" which is popular in Europe and America(1/3)
Hong Kong, Hong Kong Island, Deep Water Bay!
Bao Tianming has returned from a long trip to North America, and gathered here with him are Chen Haichao, who returned early, and Liu Pingkui and Zhu Xiaozhao, who have been in Xiangjiang.
Of course there is Chu Huan!
"Brother Tianming, I heard that your Wolf Smoke game is now particularly popular in North America and Europe, right?"
Liu Pingkui shook his body and looked at Bao Tianming enviously.
Liu Pingkui led a crew to Hawaii for filming a few years ago. Only a few directors could receive such high-level treatment in black and white videos.
Liu Pingkui saw the "Donkey Kong" arcade in Hawaii.
Bao Tianming was a bit unconvinced and said, "Actually, there were still some problems with the early sales of "Donkey Kong" in Europe and the United States."
Zhu Xiaozhao went to Japan a few years ago to check out the operations 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 confusion, "How could it be possible? I remember what Brother Huan said before, first do the European and American markets, and then the Japanese market. Now that this game has entered Japan, how can it be launched in Japan?"
Will there still be problems in Europe and the United States?”
Bao Tianming saw everyone's curious eyes, so he started to tell everyone about the situation of "Donkey Kong" which had just been released in North America.
Time goes back to October last year!
North America, Seattle!
This is located in Washington state in North America.
After Bao Tianming arrived in North America, he first met with several dealers in New York who had made appointments before, and then he began to lead the company's team to market in North America.
The Caribbean Bar is the largest bar in Seattle. Before arcades were officially popular, many arcade games were actually placed in the bar for guests to play.
This was the case with the earliest PO.
"Manager, this is the largest bar in Seattle, Flame Bar!"
A total of one hundred people came to North America with Bao Tianming, including master negotiators, translators, marketing experts, and of course, local North American employees.
The entire team was divided into fifteen groups by Bao Tianming, with ten people in each group, responsible for various cities in North America.
Bao Tianming came to Seattle with a team.
The first bar they visited today was Flame Bar, the largest bar in Seattle.
The group of ten people was divided into three teams, and they went to different places, some were bars, some were university campuses, and some were going to other places.
Bao Tianming chose the hardest bone to crack.
Pushing the door and walking in, you will see a slightly dim bar environment with different kinds of customers. There is also a billiards table in the middle of the bar, and several bikers are playing billiards.
When Bao Tianming and others came in, no one paid much attention.
Bao Tianming didn't pay attention to the situation at the scene. He led his team straight to the bar and found the boss here through the waiter.
"Haha, did you hear that this person from Xiangjiang actually wants to sell their arcade machines? Have you ever heard that there are arcade machines in Xiangjiang?"
After hearing Bao Tianming's intention, Nick Yang, the owner of Lieyan Bar, couldn't help laughing loudly.
The guests at the bar were obviously familiar with Nick Young. After hearing what Nick Young said, they all made mocking sounds.
Facing the laughter of these people, Bao Tianming didn't care much. It would be strange if this kind of thing went smoothly!
"Mr. Nick Young, although our company is only a newly established game company, we are very confident in this game, and we have spent 11.3 billion US dollars in research and development expenses for this game. This is definitely a world leader.
game!"
Bao Tianming also included production costs.
When Nick Yang heard that Bao Tianming said that their game actually cost 11.3 billion US dollars in research and development expenses, not only was he not surprised, but he laughed even louder.
"I thought only Japan likes to brag, but I didn't expect that you people in Hong Kong would also brag? With 11.3 billion US dollars, this could even buy Atari."
Bao Tianming continued to persuade, "If Mr. Nick Young doesn't believe it, you can put two machines here and let your guests or yourself try it. I believe that Mr. Nick Young will believe what I say by then."
It’s over!”
"Fart, what do you think my Flame Bar is? This is the best bar in Seattle, and the people who can enter here are also the best arcade games in North America. Just your Wolf Smoke game, you also want to put your machine at my place.
It's simply an idiot's dream.
Don’t think that I don’t know what you think. I just want to use our Flame Bar to advertise, and then tell other stupid bar owners that our Flame Bar also displays your arcade games to open up your arcade games.
market."
Nick Young thinks he has seen it all.
Facing the opponent's bad attitude, Bao Tianming remained unmoved and just wanted to continue fighting. However, Nick Young obviously did not want to give Bao Tianming this opportunity.
After the reprimand, people directly drove Bao Tianming and others out!
Standing at the door of Lieyan Bar, Bao Tianming looked helpless, "It's a bad start!"
After sighing, Bao Tianming regained his energy and said, "Let's go to the next bar. I believe Nick Young will come to us soon!"
Then they came to the Caribbean Bar, which is 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.
“We don’t have arcade games from Hong Kong people here!”
After Randall learned that Bao Tianming was selling arcade machines, he made the same decision as Nick Young and immediately stated that he did not need Xiangjiang's games.
But the other party's attitude was much better than Nick Young's.
Bao Tianming didn't change his face when he faced Nick Young, let alone Randall, who had a more harmonious attitude.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Mr. Randall, our arcade machine does not cost money, it just needs to be placed with you. It only takes two days. If it takes two days,
Since no one is playing this game, we will remove our machines and pay you for two days!"
Bao Tianming expressed his meaning to Randall through a translator.
The reason why Bao Tianming did this was not because he believed how fun the game "Donkey Kong" was, but because he simply believed in Chu Huan's judgment.
Chu Huan said that this game would be popular in Europe and America, so Bao Tianming believed that this game would definitely be popular in Europe and America.
Of course, this is also because of the self-improvement of communication methods after just coming into contact with Nick Young.
That's why Randall was given such generous conditions.
After hearing this, Randall showed a suspicious expression and asked Bao Tianming doubtfully, "You really don't need money?"
"Of course, it's necessary!"
When Bao Tianming saw Randall's interested expression, he immediately spoke with determination.
"Well, if that's the case, your arcade can be left here for two days, but I still have to tell you that no one will play the arcade games in Xiangjiang. It is possible if it is an Atari arcade game!
"
Seeing that these two arcade machines were free of charge, Randall told Bao Tianming more.
In addition, Randall has recently been thinking about putting some arcade machines in his bar. The nearby Flame Bar bought Atari arcade machines, causing many of his bar's customers to go to him.
Originally, he wanted to buy an Atari machine, but thinking about the high price of arcade machines always made him hesitate. But now, someone from a Xiangjiang game company came out of nowhere and came to him.
They are selling arcade machines, so there is no problem in trying them for free.
Although it’s not an Atari game!
At this time, Nintendo and Sega had not yet risen, and Atari was the giant in the game market.
"I don't think you will tell me that in two days!"
Bao Tianming smiled and spoke to Randall.
Randall curled his lips and said nothing more, while Bao Tianming told a subordinate to keep an eye on this place 24 hours a day. He did not believe in the character of these people.
Seeing Bao Tianming's behavior, Randall was speechless for a while.
In fact, not two days later, but only one day, Randall was extremely glad that he did not kick Bao Tianming, the Hong Kong game dealer, out of the door.
"Fck, Joel, how long do you want to play? Do you know that we have been waiting in line for thirty minutes? Do you believe it? If you dare to throw another cent into it, I will blow your head off!"
A strong man wearing a leather jacket and a beard was standing in front of a "Donkey Kong" arcade machine, looking angrily at the man sitting there playing happily.
Joel was weak and did not dare to argue with him. He just murmured, "Qiao Yin has been playing for a long time. Why don't you talk about him?"
The leather-clad man snorted coldly, "Nonsense, am I Qiao Yin's opponent?"
After saying that, he impatiently picked up Joel and threw it aside. Then he proudly took out 25 cents from his pocket and put it in. Donkey Kong appeared. The man in leather clothes laughed "haha" and flexed his wrists.
, proudly said, "Look, I will definitely rescue Pauline!"
Pauline, the heroine in "Donkey Kong".
In less than thirty seconds, the leather-clad man’s Donkey Kong died.
"Geng, I feel that I no longer need to wait another day to make a decision. I can make a decision now!"
Randall stayed in the bar and witnessed firsthand the popularity of the game "Donkey Kong" in his bar. He watched these people throw away 25 cents in less than 30 seconds. When one went in, he knew he had made a profit this time.
A machine costs 50 cents for one minute, 1 dollar for two minutes, and 30 dollars for an hour. The bar's daily operating hours are from 1 pm to 5 am the next day, a total of 16 hours, which means that you can do it by yourself in one day. Earned $480.
