The next morning, as soon as Li Jianhui entered the office, sales manager Huang Guangxing and production manager Chen Yongli came hand in hand.
After asking the two of them to sit down in the office reception room, before Li Jianhui could ask questions, Huang Guangxing said excitedly: "Li Sheng, offices in the United States, RB, Singapore and other places have sent good news one after another. As of this morning, Pac-Man's orders
It has reached 5,360 units.”
Li Jianhui actually knew last night that Pac-Man was selling well, because this time 14k, Xing Yi'an and the RB trio all ordered a large number of Pac-Man games.
Sometimes he also admires the extensive relationship between Chen Zhiyong and Pan Zhiyong. Not only are several big bosses within 14k selling their accounts, but some big bosses from the Hongmen branch in North America and Southeast Asia are also in contact with them.
In addition, Xiang Jia also seems to be interested in leading Xing Yi'an to change, and is interested in making good friends with him. He also purchases large quantities of games without being tested by the market.
Of course, Li Jianhui also knows in his heart that these big guys are just learning from their previous lives to invest in movies in the 1980s. After going through this circle, the money earned through the game arcade is legal.
Anyway, Li Jianhui runs his own business and sells it if the other party gives him money. As for other things that have nothing to do with him, he doesn't want to know.
Li Jianhui said: "The sales department's achievements deserve recognition. I hope you can continue to work hard."
"Li Sheng, I know that this order in the past two days is mainly due to you, and I am not asking you to take credit today.
The main reason is that our order volume is very large now, but the production side cannot keep up. With the current production volume, 150 Pac-Man units are produced per day, and it takes more than a month to produce orders in just these two days.
With the leadership of these customers, I believe that the market potential will explode before long, and channel dealers in North America and RB will place large orders, and we urgently need to increase our production capacity."
Chen Yongli on the side saw Li Jianhui looking at him, and he immediately said: "Li Sheng, I came here specifically to ask for your instructions today. I am going to start implementing overtime. After employees work eight hours normally, they will work overtime from seven to ten in the evening."
points to increase production.
According to our estimates, if the daily production of 450 Xiangjiang cubes remains unchanged, 400 Pac-Man units can be produced."
As the company's production director, Chen Yongli has a feeling that it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.
The current production base is only that big, and the current assembly line is already quite crowded, and it is impossible to continue to add new assembly lines.
The market for Xiangjiang cubes is continuing to explode, with new orders arriving every day. The daily production volume of 450 units of Xiangjiang cubes cannot be reduced, otherwise it will not be possible to deliver goods to customers on time.
The current way to increase production is to have employees work overtime to ensure that company orders can be produced on time.
If the popularity of Xiangjiang Cube continues and Pac-Man explodes, we can only increase manpower and adopt the method of using people to stop the machine to increase the company's production capacity.
"I have approved the overtime work. In addition, we need to start recruiting people. After New Year's Day, Little Bee will also be launched, and the demand for production capacity will be greater. You must make a plan to start two shifts."
Both Chen Yongli, who is in charge of production, and Huang Guangxing, who is in charge of sales, feel tremendous pressure.
Even if Atari, the current overlord, releases one popular game a year, it would be good.
Since its establishment in August, Huihong Game Company has released three games in less than half a year, not to mention Xiangjiang Cube, which has already caused a craze in the market, and Pac-Man, which signed an order for more than 5,000 units in two days.
.
It’s the Little Bee that hasn’t been launched yet, and company executives’ expectations for it far exceed those of Xiangjiang Cubes and Pac-Man.
Compared with these two casual games, Little Bee is more like an arcade game. This game can bring more profits to the arcade boss.
Regardless of whether Xiangjiang Cubes or Pac-Man is better, they are actually more suitable for family video games.
It's just that there are too few arcade games at present, and the quality of the games is generally not high, so these two casual games are so popular in the arcade industry.
If King of Fighters, Street Fighter, Contra and other games come out in the future, Hong Kong Cube and Pac-Man will not have much room for survival in the arcade industry.
After all, arcades are mainly populated by boys. These teenagers are more passionate at heart, and they prefer gunfights and fighting games.
Huang Guangxing suggested: "Li Sheng, the Sham Shui Po production base is still too small. I think it is very necessary for us to establish a second production base now, otherwise it will affect the company's delivery speed and thus affect the company's profits."
When Chen Yongli saw that Huang Guangxing was speaking for his production department, he naturally could not remain silent. He also expressed his hope that the company would immediately prepare a second production base.
"I know how you feel. I paid a visit to MacLehose yesterday and will go to the Land Planning Department later.
We have already borrowed HK$300 million from Dao Heng Bank and will start building the Fai Hung Industrial Park in Tseung Kwan O after New Year's Day. It is expected that the arcade production and assembly plant will be put into use in September."
The two were extremely happy to hear the news. Once the Huihong Industrial Park is established, they will no longer worry about output.
Knowing that Li Jianhui was busy going to the Land Planning Department, the two of them did not stay here longer. After asking if Li Jianhui had any other instructions, they got up and left the office.
The outside media has also become lively because of the hot sales of the Pac-Man game of Huihong Games, especially in Xiangjiang. Due to large orders from 14k and Xing Yi'an, Pac-Man is already available in many game halls in Xiangjiang.
Because it is a new game, it is extremely popular. In various arcades, the Pac-Man arcade is full of people, but the tables around Atari's famous table tennis arcade are empty and no one cares about it.
Many game arcade owners have even regretted that they would not have purchased this arcade machine if they had known how fast Huihong Game Company was producing games.
Xiangjiang reporters have always been the most dedicated. As one of the key figures in major media, Li Jianhui's company has released a new product, so they will naturally follow up and report on it.
As soon as Pac-Man came out, it quickly appeared in the main sections of major newspapers. Through interviews with game fans in game arcades, the praise for Li Jianhui also climbed to a higher level again.
Some relevant newspapers have reported in detail some data, especially the sales volume of Huihong Game Company.
This morning's Oriental Daily published a headline on the front page entitled "Genius Boy Writes Business Legend".
The most eye-catching one is the report that less than half a year after the establishment of Huihong Game Company, the cumulative sales have exceeded 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
This is already a huge number in today's Hong Kong. Even many third-rate families cannot achieve annual sales of over 100 million in their industries, let alone half a year's sales.
Because of this report by Oriental Daily, there are currently many media reporters outside Huihong Game Company, hoping to interview Li Jianhui or the senior management of Huihong Game Company.
In addition to confirming the accuracy of Oriental Daily's report on Huihong Game Company's sales, they also wanted to know the profitability of Huihong Game Company.
Although it is surprising that a company that was only established for half a year has sales of over 100 million, it is far less shocking than a boy who is less than 17 years old and has a net worth of over 100 million.
