Chapter 208 Foreseeing the future and planning ahead
Price reduction is always the simplest and most effective way to promote sales. The price of LYNX has been reduced. The price of 200 US dollars has once again aroused the interest of players. The pre-sale volume has begun to increase again. Although the magnitude is not large, at least it has increased. This makes
Atari's top management breathed a sigh of relief. If the price reduction can't increase pre-sales, then something really big is going to happen.
"President, what are you going to do this time?"
Minoru Arakawa could never forget that he once tried to defeat Liu Zhiyuan by lowering the price of Super Mario 3. This scene in front of him was so familiar that Atari's top management must be uneasy at this time, because he was the precedent.
The all-conquering methods in the sales world seem to be of no use in front of Liu Zhiyuan!
"about there..."
Liu Zhiyuan looked at the phone number in Minoru Arakawa's office. He was waiting for a call. The arcade machines under one person had already started the first round of sales. There were not many, only a few thousand units. After the news came out, it didn't take 5 minutes.
They were all sold out, no matter how fast. With Liu Zhiyuan’s set of competition rules, none of the owners of these arcades are fools. They don’t know the specific benefits, but they will definitely not lose money!
"Jingle Bell..."
"Jingle Bell..."
"..."
Liu Zhiyuan did not answer the call immediately. He watched the call slowly arrive.
"Which of your arcades will be the first lucky winner?"
Arakawa Minori immediately understood what Liu Zhiyuan meant. He couldn't help but clenched his fist secretly. Is this his previous opponent? Is this why he can't defeat him? Foresighted? Far-sighted and far-sighted? These words are simply not enough to describe Liu
Zhiyuan! This is simply predicting the future!
"You...were you right when designing the rules of the competition? Are you sure what kind of opponent the Elves will have?"
Arakawa Minoru was in a very uneasy mood. He could guarantee that when they designed the competition rules, the predecessor of LYNX was not completed at all! Even if it was completed, it was still a semi-finished product!
"That's right, I also know the future of Rendo, the decline of Sega, and the rise of Sony. Do you believe it or not?"
Looking at Liu Zhiyuan's half-smiling face, Arakawa felt chills all over his body. He didn't believe what Liu Zhiyuan said, and no one with any brains would believe it. But thinking carefully about Liu Zhiyuan's past, he seemed to really know how to get there.
He is the most correct. He never seems to make a mistake. He...
"monster..."
Can he really win against such an opponent? At this moment, Minoru Arakawa was really scared and panicked. He had been defeated by Liu Zhiyuan before, more than once, but he had never felt this kind of fear in his heart.
.
"Hello."
"Don't tell me it's that bastard Eric again. If he continues to be so lucky, I will have to investigate. It's only three things. Rather than being shrouded by the god of luck, I believe that someone leaked UG.
"
"Oh, no, that's good, who is it?"
"Japanese? Shinoda Shuyuki? This name seems a bit familiar..."
"The first person in the world to clear the game in 100 seconds? Oh, it's him. I have an impression. He is a game master. What bug did he find?"
The person on the other end of the phone was Li Huagui. This was a task given to him by Minoru Arakawa, and Liu Zhiyuan didn't care. In short, wherever the Han Dynasty was most critical, Li Huagui would appear there.
"The flying dragon is a bit too strong in his hands. There is a problem with the value setting of this character. In the hands of ordinary people, he is very average, but in the hands of experts, his agility is a bit too high. If he is against an opponent of the same level, if Shinoda is not
You can't lose if you make mistakes."
"I know, tell President Tsujimoto the news, adjust the attributes of the flying dragon, and invite Nobuyuki Shinoda to participate. The bonus will be... 300,000 US dollars. Tell the world about the news. There is no cap on the bonus. The bugs discovered will be more
Seriously, the higher the bonus!”
"Understood."
This is Liu Zhiyuan’s confidence that he can overwhelm Atari. Real money rewards, the ability to participate in the development process of the game, and free use of arcade machines, LYNX? Sorry, we don’t have time to play.
Without spending a penny, whether you are seeking wealth or fame, this fighting game can satisfy you. Liu Zhiyuan is very confident that with this move, who will win and who will die! Unless someone comes up with a real game
An epoch-making game product, but it’s a pity that it doesn’t exist!
"Boss Arakawa, what's your expression? You're not taking it seriously, are you? I'm just joking."
Liu Zhiyuan handed a cigarette to Minoru Arakawa, who was feeling a little depressed.
"Actually, I'm not targeting Atari, and I didn't know there would be a LYNX handheld console, but I knew that there would definitely be people jealous of the handheld console market, and the Elf would definitely meet a rival, but I didn't expect this rival to appear.
Why is it so early?"
Minoru Arakawa lit the cigarette in his hand and smiled bitterly.
"Be prepared for a rainy day. Thank you, president, for giving me a vivid teaching lesson."
Everyone understands this principle of preparing for a rainy day, managers like them know better, but how many of them can really prepare to this extent?
"What if LYNX is delayed? What if..."
Arakawa really can't go on anymore. This period of this year can be the last and best opportunity to capture the elves. From now on, the Han Dynasty's global auditions will begin. For the first time, the gaming industry will have a truly global carnival.
Game competitions were so popular at that time that everyone had to avoid the limelight, and Rentang also had to avoid it.
"This year seems to be another year for the Han Dynasty..."
Arakawa Minoru sighed. How many times has he heard this sentence? It seems that except for the first year of the Han Dynasty's debut, people are thinking that this is the year of the Han Dynasty. If this continues, it will be two years.
, three years, ten years, will it become the era of the Han Dynasty...
"Congratulations, President, you have won again, and the Han Dynasty has won again."
Liu Zhiyuan understood what Minoru Arakawa meant. He was not congratulating him for winning LYNX. Winning LYNX was not worthy of Minoru Arakawa's words. What he meant was that he had gained another year of development time.
What does the Han Dynasty lack most now? Not money, not people, but time! From the moment he established his foothold in the handheld market, everyone understood that as long as his Han Dynasty was given time to develop steadily, it would grow into a real
The dragon!
Handheld console! This market is the foundation of the Han Dynasty, and it is the capital that allows the Han Dynasty to compete with Rendo and Sega! Anyone who touches it will die! A cold look flashed in Liu Zhiyuan's eyes.
The arcade market is a no-man's land. No matter how good you are, you can't dominate this market, because he knows very well that the era of card replacement is coming soon. At that time, the cost of replacing games in arcades will be greatly reduced. Those arcade hall owners only need to
