There are many people who are like a bow and a horse.
When they saw the game world creation on the website of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, they were very eager to join in and signed up to learn how to make games.
Just imagining that you can create an electronic world is cool.
But there are not many people who really dare to practice it.
Most of them still have jobs and families.
In this era of bubble bursting, they dare not gamble. They have no extra time to do other work, so they can only suppress this impulse in their hearts.
They are actually waiting for the first person to eat the crab, but they themselves dare not take the first step.
At the same time, a new weekly sales record once again arrived on Zhu Youxing's desk.
He picked up the data and began to study it seriously.
After three months of sales so far, the sales of game consoles have exceeded 300,000, which greatly exceeded Zhuyouxing's expectations.
At the beginning, he thought that if the game console could sell 120,000 units in the first three months, that would be enough.
After all, people in this world don’t fully understand video games, and they need some time to settle down.
But perhaps the low-price strategy played a big role. Several top-notch high-quality games coupled with already cheap game consoles made it easier to open the market than imagined.
In order to silence their children's noisy mouths, many parents spend some money to buy a game console with one or two games for their children, which is actually acceptable.
Some children can buy a game console with just a few years of savings, and they don't have to rely entirely on their parents.
After word-of-mouth fermentation from people who bought it, it quickly swept the Tokyo metropolitan area and its surrounding areas in three months, becoming a symbol of fashion, and has begun to spread rapidly to more areas.
The weekly sales of Famicom and white consoles in the latest week have reached 40,000 units, which has completely surpassed the sales of game consoles in the first week, and looking at this trend, it will only rise every week in the future.
Coupled with this, the sales data of games are also increasing rapidly.
Contra and Dragon Quest have also exceeded 200,000 sales.
Tetris is also hovering at 190,000, and several other games including Bomberman, which has the lowest sales, have sold 120,000 copies, which can be said to be gratifying.
Next week is the release date of the next game Red Fortress, and many players are already ready to buy it as soon as possible.
Zhuyouxing is quite satisfied with this sales data.
The company's reserve funds are already quite sufficient, and even now it is enough to form a super team of several hundred people to make a large-scale game.
But it’s not possible yet. The game industry is not mature enough, and there are not many talents related to the game industry. If we make large-scale games now, I am afraid that most of the money and time will be wasted on useless things.
The most important thing is to find ways to expand the scale of the industry. This is just the beginning.
Let’s implement the game producer training plan properly first. It is estimated that it will take about two to three months to train the first batch of programmers and producers to make games.
As these people mature, the number and scale of games on the market will expand rapidly, and in another year or two, the entire industry should gradually mature.
At this time, many super classic big-budget games from later generations have appeared in Zhu Youxing's mind.
For example, Red Dead Redemption, God of War, etc.
Hey, I really want to play these games, but it’s a pity that I can’t do it now.
Even a mature game engine has not been developed yet.
Just as Zhu Youxing was imagining the beautiful vision of future games, a slightly urgent knock on the door sounded.
Zhu Youxing brought his thoughts back and said: "Please come in."
"President Zhuyou, please look at this!"
A man wearing a crisp suit walked in. This man's name was Natsume Yasutaka, who was the general manager of the marketing department of the company that had just been established.
This is an executive hired by Minoru Matsuhashi through a headhunting company.
He used to work for a machinery manufacturing company, but after the bubble burst, the company almost closed down. Employees began to look for their own way out, and then he was poached by Matsuhashi Minoru.
His business ability is good, and his previous decisions have helped the company overcome several difficulties. However, the company itself lacks development potential and is eventually eliminated by the market. He can only find another company.
When he learned that this was a start-up company, he didn't want to come at first, but after seeing the company's sales data in the first two months, he almost didn't hesitate anymore.
During the time he came to the company, he and Ohta Masaru worked together to build the marketing strategy and framework. Now that the sales of game consoles and games are so fast, he has a share of the credit.
Natsume Yasutaka came directly to Takeyusei's desk and placed two documents on the desk.
One of them is from today's economic news newspaper, and the other is a screenshot from the Internet.
Zhu Youxing picked it up curiously, and then quickly locked his eyes on one of the sections of the newspaper.
That is a relatively conspicuous advertising position in the newspaper.
If he remembered correctly, this advertising space cost 10 million yen a week, which was more expensive than TV advertising. When he heard this price, he immediately gave up advertising in newspapers.
At this time, what appeared in this advertising space was an electronic device.
This device had a simple gray square casing and two handles. On the handles, Zhu Youxing saw buttons that were very familiar to him.
On the left are four buttons up, down, left, and right, which seem to represent the four direction keys. On the right are three buttons arranged in a triangle. The colors of the three buttons are distinguished by red, blue, and yellow respectively.
'The most advanced and high-end electronic entertainment game console product: pn type electronic game console is now on sale!'
In addition to newspapers, there is also an advertisement taken from a page on the Internet, which also promotes this PN game console.
"President Zhuyou, someone has started to imitate our game consoles. I think the legal department should be dispatched immediately to ban their sales."
Natsume Yasutaka said with a serious expression.
He is a veteran in marketing.
When a product very similar to his own appears on the market, it means that users will be immediately diverted. At this time, Yasutaka Natsume knows that there is only one way to solve the problem to a certain extent, and it must be fast!
That is to use the method of patent infringement to warn the opponent, and at the same time be prepared for a long-term lawsuit, which can slow down the opponent.
Nowadays, the development of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is on the rise. If the same game console appears to compete with itself, it will definitely be a big trouble.
Natsume Yasutaka took this matter very seriously.
In his imagination, Zhu Youxing would probably be nervous when he saw the news. After all, he looked like he was only in his early twenties, which was normal.
But he was shocked to find that Zhu Youxing was not nervous or panicked after reading the news. Instead, he seemed...a little excited?
ps: I just realized that I seemed to have missed a chapter yesterday. Sorry readers and bosses, I will make up for this chapter today, and then add another chapter to compensate tomorrow.
