Chapter 203 Confident Atari

Eric was shocked when he heard the price, but then his face was full of excitement. How exaggerated would it be for an arcade machine to sell for $100,000? Moreover, it should be the first batch of new games he came into contact with.

He knows very well how big of an advantage it is to have the upper hand.

"Yes, yes! I...I want 5 units! Thank you very much, President Liu."

"Don't thank me yet. The first batch of arcade machines cannot be profitable. You have to provide them to players for free."

Eric was stunned, giving it to players for free? This is 500,000 US dollars! This is how he has accumulated all his wealth over the years.

"this..."

Ali Ke reacted to Liu Zhiyuan's surprise.

"Their role is to help detect vulnerabilities in new games from the Han Dynasty."

"But... players who pay money can also play it. I believe that the Han Dynasty game will be popular among people."

There is no conflict between detecting vulnerabilities and making money! Eric doesn't understand Liu Zhiyuan's idea at all. He bought it for 500,000 US dollars and let players play it for free. Is this a charity?

"No, free and paid are completely different. Free will make players feel that they have also participated in the development of the game, while paid games will not have this feeling."

"Then, are there other ways to make money? For example, follow-up arcade machines? For example, other benefits?"

Eric really didn't want to give up this opportunity. He had enjoyed too many benefits from the Han Dynasty.

Liu Zhiyuan nodded.

"The subsequent arcade machines will definitely make you profitable."

Eric's mood calmed down a little. He was really afraid that if Liu Zhiyuan said that he would not be allowed to make profits in the future, then he would have to give up this opportunity no matter how unwilling he was.

"Is it also 100,000 US dollars? Are there any discounts for those of us who are the first batch to buy?"

"It's also $100,000, but the discount is gone."

Eric began to calculate in his mind silently. An arcade machine costing 100,000 US dollars must be extraordinary. It occupies an area and charges...

"Don't think about it, it's just an ordinary battle arcade machine. Do you know Street Fighter? This is a technologically enhanced version."

Eric stood up excitedly.

"No, President Liu, you can't do this. A Street Fighter worth 100,000 US dollars, even if it has upgraded technology, is definitely not worth that much money."

It only costs 1 cent to play Street Fighter. How long does it take to earn back 100,000 US dollars?

"Do you know about the Han Dynasty Global Fighting Competition? This is it."

Eric knows very well how popular this game will be if it holds a global fighting competition, but... no matter how popular it is, it can't stop it from costing 1 cent a time! Not even 2 cents!

"As an old friend, I'll give you a discount that no one else has. Your Eliko Lucky Arcade will become a battle scene in the game."

Eric swallowed. As long as he nodded, his arcade would become the most famous arcade, but...

"It's too low, President Liu. The profit is too low. If the price is raised, even if this game is brilliant again, the number of players will decrease sharply. Even if these arcade machines are running at maximum load, it will probably take a year to recover."

Book."

This is people’s understanding of game profitability in this era. If it were 2020, and someone introduced you to a business that could pay back your capital in one year, and there was a company that would help you promote it for free, I’d be afraid that someone would be robbed of your head.

"Eric, this profit is already very high, besides..."

Liu Zhiyuan told Eric the rules of the fighting competition.

"Are you serious?"

Eric is not mediocre to be the store manager of the second Carrefour branch in the United States. After listening to Liu Zhiyuan's competition rules, $100,000 is really not expensive!

"Of course you are serious. You are the first person to know the news. Are you still hesitant now?"

Eric shook his head hastily.

"Five, no, six! I can squeeze out a few more dollars."

Now he just hates that he doesn't have enough money. With those competition rules, the most profitable arcade machine for one person is not the game coins worth 1 cent at all! It is the huge bonus of the Han Dynasty! As for this game, no one will play it?

If you ask your colleagues, they will definitely tell you that this game is very risky and you should be cautious, but these people will definitely turn around and go bankrupt to buy this arcade machine!

Liu Zhiyuan spent hundreds of millions of dollars to hold the World Fighting Championship, how could no one play it? The bonuses for the players are even more terrifying! In terms of bonuses alone, the players of this game are probably going to catch up with Pokemon.

"Well, for the sake of luck, I won't limit the quantity you buy. However, for each Han Dynasty arcade machine, Han Dynasty will charge US$500 per year from now on. This fee will also increase with inflation in the future.

And rise."

"No problem, I will give the DDR fee to the Han Dynasty now."

Liu Zhiyuan looked at the decisive Eric and couldn't help but give him a high look. Sure enough, no one who could sit in such a position was an idiot. Compared with the benefits brought by 500 US dollars, it was simply nothing.

"I will not take this money. In the end, this money will be used by you. Do you know the NBA's profit model?"

Eric is a loyal fan and he is very clear about the NBA's profit model.

"Do you want to imitate the NBA? Take the revenue from the merchants and return them to the merchants in other ways?"

"Yes, I have wanted to bring e-sports competitions into the Olympic Games, but this is not the case. It cannot be achieved without a complete and healthy league."

Eric didn't know how to evaluate the Liu Zhiyuan in front of him. He actually wanted to bring the game into the most sacred sports ground!

"No wonder President Liu has made such amazing achievements in just two years. I can't even think of your idea, but you have already started to prepare."

While Liu Zhiyuan and Eric were talking in the office, Atari's regional president was constantly praising Lisa in front of him.

"Lisa, you have a very good idea. Please inform me that the registration forms of all LYNX promotion points should be filled with 100, not 200 pages. Oh, by the way, declare a bonus for Lisa. This is what she deserves."

Jamison looked at Lisa and smiled.

"Lisa, aren't you happy enough to get the bonus? Don't worry, this will be a big bonus."

How could she be happy? This idea was not hers, it was Liu Zhiyuan's from the Han Dynasty. She hasn't finished her words yet!

"Mr. President, the Han Dynasty..."

Jamison waved his hand and smiled confidently.

"Don't worry about the Han Dynasty. His elf cannot be a match for LYNX."

"This idea was told to me by Liu from the Han Dynasty."

"Forehead..."

Jamison was stunned for a moment. What was Liu Zhiyuan doing? Giving advice to his opponent? Was he trying to show his favor to Atari?

"He is indeed recognized by everyone in the world as the best publicist."
