Chapter 347 Move the NBA to Akihabara
Ma Huateng knew this was the case. His performance was already very poor. The Elf Belt was his only profitable activity, but it was all ruined by Jack Ma.
Kidnapped, he was kidnapped by Jack Ma. It makes no sense for Japan to not send it to China. Players will have opinions. This is Liu Zhiyuan's bottom line. If he dares to touch it, just wait until he goes back to develop games with Lei Jun.
"deliver!"
Ma Huateng gritted his teeth as he looked at the information given to him by the Shanghai government in his hand. If you, Jack Ma, dare to play, then so will I.
"Send it away, not only during the 12 hours of the launch ceremony, but I will give it away for another 2 days!"
The assistant to Ma Yun was a newly recruited administrative intern from the Han Dynasty. He swallowed hard looking at Ma Huateng's gnashing of teeth.
"Ma...Secretary Ma, would you like to say hello to Mr. Liu first?"
Although he just walked out of school, it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand how much loss Ma Huateng's words will bring to the Han Dynasty. Just give it to China, but it is obviously unrealistic. If China gives it, other places must also give it.
The bowl of water should be kept level.
"Why can Jack Ma do whatever he wants? Why can't I?"
Ma Huateng was anxious when he heard this. He was not the one who took the lead. It was Jack Ma who did it first!
"Hey, Mr. Liu, my pony, um... I want to send you a 3-day pocket elf belt in China. Don't worry, I have a reason."
Ma Huateng took the phone and quickly told Liu Zhiyuan his thoughts.
"Tomorrow, no, tonight there will be a large number of players from foreign countries. I think giving away two days will help the sales in China to be better. What do you think?"
Liu Zhiyuan laughed angrily when he heard this. He knew exactly what Ma Huateng was planning. He just wanted to make some achievements in China, but this achievement could not be paved by the losses of the Han Dynasty.
"Please restrain yourself. Jack Ma is here to fight with Hiroshi Yamauchi. Tell me, who are you fighting with in China? Just finish the launch ceremony honestly and come back to develop the game if something goes wrong again."
.”
"yes..."
When Liu Zhiyuan heard this reluctant answer, his tone became serious.
"I'm telling you seriously, please follow this launch ceremony step by step. Those players who came here are not here for the pocket elf belt. China is not the market of the Han Dynasty now. If there is any mistake, just go
Come with Lei Jun."
"Beep...beep...beep..."
When the assistant saw Ma Huateng's disappointed look, he turned around and left. Looking at his expression, he knew that Liu Zhiyuan did not agree. That would be a loss of tens of millions or hundreds of millions. His leader's thinking was too simple.
...
In Akihabara, Japan, Jack Ma underestimated the allure of those 12 customized racing cars. His original plan was to promote Need for Speed for four hours and then start promoting NBA LIVE.
But looking at the current situation, it is not suitable. Players' enthusiasm for Need for Speed has not decreased much.
"Mr. Ma, the sales statistics for 9 hours have been calculated."
"How many!?"
Ma Yun quickly turned around and asked. He couldn't even wait for the data to appear on the statistics screen. It was because Nintendo and SFC were chasing too closely. He thought the winner would be decided after the wave of publicity in Need for Speed.
The price reduction of Nintendo's game lineup did not increase SFC's sales too much. The biggest gap between SFC and Gremlins 2 will soon exceed 10,000.
But obviously he hasn't understood the meaning of the title "Emperor of the Game Industry". Asking Hideki Okamura and others to lower the price is just a way for Hiroshi Yamauchi to test the players.
In the 8th hour, SFC's sales skyrocketed like a ghost, which frightened him.
"Gremlins II, 287,395 units."
"Pocket Pokémon, 418,328 copies."
"Need for Speed, 269,284 copies."
As soon as the assistant reported the sales volume of the Han Dynasty, Ma Yun couldn't wait to ask.
"How much Nintendo!"
"SFC, 286,842 units."
"Super Mario World, 377,529 copies."
"..."
When Ma Yun heard this set of data, he immediately lost his temper and cursed. In just 2 hours, Hiroshi Yamauchi increased SFC's sales to close to that of Gremlins II.
The trick that Hiroshi Yamauchi used this time is very simple, throw money! Players who have purchased SFC and Super Mario World can participate in the Super Mario Racing Tournament organized by Nintendo.
First place, US$10 million.
Second place, $7 million.
Third place, US$3 million.
It's that simple, but simplicity doesn't mean it's not easy to use. Nintendo players have long been looking forward to the Super Mario game. Although the scene is far inferior to that of the Han Dynasty and the specifications are also very low, it is still an official game and the prize money is also high.
It was very lucrative, and SFC's sales immediately began to increase dramatically.
"Preparing for NBALIVE activities and putting together the basketball court, we can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, if Hiroshi Yamauchi has other means, he may fall short at the last moment."
"yes..."
Ma Yun was afraid that Hiroshi Yamauchi would try another trick, and Hiroshi Yamauchi was not in a stable mood at this time. This trick was originally prepared to be used at the last moment, but seeing that the sales were getting bigger and bigger, there would be no chance if he didn't use it again.
"What is the Han Dynasty doing over there?"
In the crowded Akihabara, I wanted to build a temporary basketball court. The noise must have been huge. Hiroshi Yamauchi became nervous for a moment. He now no longer dares to look down on Ma Yun. This young man makes him very passive now.
"Yeah, you'll be the greatest (you'll be the greatest)"
"You can be the best (you can do the best)"
"..."
As soon as the song "Hall of Fame" sounded, countless players in Akihabara were excited. They were basketball fans. They didn't like Pokemon, and they didn't have much interest in Need for Speed. Although they liked those customized sports cars, they
I like basketball more and NBA more.
"Jordan! It's Jordan!"
"Magic Earvin Johnson."
"Big Bird Bird!"
"..."
On the big screen, famous NBA stars appeared on it, and then the cheers suddenly shook the world because these stars appeared in Akihabara.
You know, this is the most critical moment of the NBA playoffs. If these stars can appear here, will the game not be played? The championship team of this season has not been decided yet.
"Dear fans, as we all know, this is the most critical moment for the NBA, but NBA LIVE and NBA are games of the same origin, so they are here..."
Liu Zhiyuan had to go to great lengths to get Stern to let him go, and those stars got a lot of benefits, including Paul Allen's contribution. Otherwise, no matter how high Liu Zhiyuan's status in the gaming industry was, he would not be able to let him go.
Don't even think about moving the NBA to Akihabara at this time.
"Let us welcome the NBA superstar, Magic Johnson, Earvin Johnson..."
The magician trotted towards the makeshift basketball court with a smile on his face and waved his hands...
"Big Bird, Larry...Bird!"
"Flying Man, Michael, Jordan..."
"Smiling Assassin, Isiah, Thomas..."
"..."
Every star's appearance can cause waves of cheers. Looking over the entire Akihabara, you will find that countless players are rushing here crazily. Jack Ma directly dispatched thousands of mobile salesmen around the stadium.
