Using optical discs as carriers does not mean that Zhuyouxing will give up the use of cassettes.
In the future, his idea is to carry out both routes simultaneously.
One of them is to follow the path of the previous Nintendo and focus on developing interesting and groundbreaking electronic entertainment products.
The other one is to take a more industrial and large-scale production route.
The path of pioneering represents laying the foundation for the future development of video games and constantly creating new development points.
Industrialization represents the path for the industry to mature. Red Dead Redemption 2, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, The Witcher 3, Call of Duty, the entire Assassin's Creed series, etc., are all products of mature industrialized games.
Both industrialization and creativity have their own advantages, and Zhuyouxing intends to have them all.
North America will be more suitable for industrial development, and Japan will be more suitable for innovation. When the time comes, both lines will run in parallel.
If it is a normal company, they generally don't dare to do this, and they will often focus more on one point of development.
Only investment companies dare to do this, because they are not responsible for the product, they only need to give money and supervise the results.
However, Zhu Yuxing, who had experience in his previous life, thought that he should do more.
Money is secondary. He wants the video game industry in this world to develop faster so that he can play the fun games created by this world faster.
For example, the recent 3D racing game produced by Surui Electronics is quite good and already deserves a three and a half star rating.
In the future, gs1 will focus more on industrialization, reducing the physical production costs of the video games themselves as much as possible, and using the excess money to develop video games is a more appropriate choice.
Anyway, for video games, the carrier is not important, what is important is the game itself.
Now that the development of gs1 has reached about 40%, Zhuyouxing has sent the first-generation prototype of the game console to North America, so that the game development team in North America can adapt to this console as soon as possible.
Until now, these are the company's internal secrets, but if even a little bit is leaked, Zhu Youxing will definitely be held accountable indefinitely.
Being not listed on the market and having almost no redundant shareholders has this advantage. You don't need to be responsible to anyone, and you don't need to disclose the company's internal data and information. You can do whatever you want, and no one else can control it.
However, in order to make his development in Japan smoother, Zhuyouxing still negotiated good terms with the Japanese government. Japan will buy a small part of the shares in the name of the government, and Zhuyouxing can obtain some conveniences with the help of the government.
Make sure that there is a certain tilt in policies and that your development will not be hindered by small things.
One evening in August, a banquet was being held in a seemingly high-end hotel.
The banquet was jointly organized by the American Department Store Industry Association and the labor union.
Senior executives from large and small department store and supermarket companies in the association were invited to attend the banquet.
Times like this are a good day for these department stores to communicate with each other.
They usually have a competitive relationship, but under the control of associations and labor unions, they will also cooperate when necessary to strive for greater benefits for their industries.
David was naturally among the invited people. After all, he was the business director of Woodson Department Store and a senior executive of several of the largest department stores in the country.
He drove his limousine and took his female companion into the banquet hall.
As soon as he entered, he received a lot of attention, and many people came forward to say hello warmly.
A person of his status is equivalent to the general chairman of a small department store, so he naturally attracts a lot of attention.
He also returned the favor politely.
However, he noticed that during banquets like this, there would usually be more people getting close to each other, and senior executives from some small department stores would also take the initiative to come over and say hello.
But the people who took the initiative this time were all people with insignificant positions, as well as people from industry associations and labor unions.
But he was just a little curious, but didn't take it seriously.
There is absolutely no comparison between small and medium-sized department stores and him. If the other party doesn't take the initiative to find me, it means nothing.
Soon, the banquet moved into a routine charity fundraising session.
This kind of banquet will often give yourself a better reputation, and it can't just be a place of fun and debauchery.
As a rule, senior executives of large companies like David will donate about US$10,000.
It is normal for people in small department stores to donate thousands or hundreds of dollars.
David had already prepared the check, and after thinking for a moment, he felt that five thousand dollars was enough. There was no point in donating so much, and it would be a waste of money.
Five thousand dollars is enough to maintain your car for a week.
After writing the check, he casually handed it to the recipient of the donation.
At this moment, he vaguely heard the voices of several heated discussions not far away.
"How about each of us donate 10,000 this time?"
"Well, I think it's okay. I've made a lot of money recently, thanks to Youxing Electronic Entertainment."
"You also make a lot of money through Youxing Electronic Entertainment, right? So do we."
Originally, David didn't pay too much attention to the chatter of people around him.
But the name Youxing Electronic Entertainment is like some kind of time switch.
Once he hears this name, his heart will thump.
This is because an email is regularly sent to his mailbox almost every day.
That email contained Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's daily sales data, which was detailed to single digits.
Simply outrageous.
Recently, the daily sales figures of electronic game consoles and games have been in the tens of thousands and tens of thousands, with the highest one-day sales reaching close to one hundred thousand.
And these are basically dispersed into small and medium-sized department stores ranging from 20 to 30 large and small.
Every department store can make hundreds of thousands of dollars a day from this product.
This is because the supply has not been sufficient all the time. If the supply was sufficient, sales would only be higher.
He didn't understand why this thing was so popular. It was obviously a video game console. The game consoles from Surui Electronics and Lierda were also pretty good. He had played it himself, but he thought it was all a joke.
How could it be worse?
However, Lierda and Surui Electronics just didn't live up to expectations and couldn't sell well.
When David heard the sound, he couldn't help but look over and found that it was the owners of several small department stores.
They actually don’t make much money on a daily basis. The real money is made by large department stores.
But recently, because Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's game consoles are only sold in small and medium-sized department stores, customers have no choice but to go to small department stores.
In the past, these bosses would only donate two to three thousand US dollars at most to cope with the situation.
But this time, each of them donated 10,000. How much money did they earn from the game console?
Of course, ten thousand dollars is not much, but when David saw that there were people who could donate ten thousand dollars, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
