Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 454

Los Angeles.

As the time for the official sale of the Xingyue mainframe is getting closer, Lin Baicheng has become more and more busy these days. After all, he is in charge of the sales of the Xingyue mainframe in the United States.Fortunately, with the help of an assistant, he will not be exhausted to death.

The time has come to Friday in a blink of an eye, and Xingyue mainframe will be officially sold in the United States, Japan and Hong Kong tomorrow Saturday.

"Cheng Jun, our console has pre-sold nearly [-] units so far. It can be seen that many people like our game very much. The performance of Xingyue console's official launch and sales will not be bad."

In the villa, Haruko Mori said to Lin Baicheng who was reading the relevant report.

"I hope so."

Lin Baicheng nodded: "Although the more consoles are sold now, the company's losses will be greater. However, the more consoles are sold, the more cassettes will be sold, so as to make up for the losses on the consoles."

So far, Xingyue Electronic Game Company has developed a total of ten games, and there are still games under development.

Xingyue Console is different from Atari VC. Atari VCS is open. After any game company develops a game, it can release it on Atari VCS, that is, make it into a game cassette for sale.But the Xingyue console has a code locking system, and games that have not been reviewed cannot be released and sold on the Xingyue console.

At present, the Xingyue console is not well-known at all, and no game company will hand over the game developed by itself to the Xingyue Electronic Game Company for review, and then determine whether the game can be released on the Xingyue console.

Therefore, in order to enrich the game types of the Xingyue console, Lin Baicheng recruited game engineers on a large scale when the console was about to be developed, and later even opened branches in the United States and Japan. After all, some talents are unwilling to leave China. In order to recruit talents You can only open branches in two places.

Nowadays, Xingyue Electronic Game Company has a large number of game engineers. Not only is the salary a huge expense, but the cost of the games they are developing is also very high. If Xingyue consoles do not sell well, the company will suffer a huge loss. .

Haruko Mori said: "Except for increasing publicity after the official launch, we can only leave it to the market to decide."

"Yes."

Lin Baicheng nodded slightly. There was nothing he could do except increase the publicity. Whether the mainframe could sell well could only be left to the market to decide whether people liked the product or not.In other words, if you like the games sold with the Xingyue console, you will choose to buy the console only if you like to play games.

It can be said that Lin Baicheng has invested a huge amount of money in Xingyue Electronic Game Company this time, and if it fails, the impact on him will not be small.

If this kind of thing really happened, then Lin Baicheng can only wait for the profit settlement of his investment in gold futures next year before he can have funds to develop other enterprises.

Speaking of gold futures, this week the international gold price finally broke through the shock zone of 250 US dollars per ounce and strengthened upwards. Unfortunately, the increase was not large. It only rose by 2.03% this week, but the rise is better than the fall.

Although the next day is Saturday, Lin Baicheng will definitely not have time to play around this Saturday, because the Xingyue mainframe will officially start selling today. solve.

At the same time, with the arrival of the official sale time, the publicity has been stepped up, and the TV station's advertisements have been launched, so as to let more people know about the Xingyue host.

Compared with the Atari VCS, the Xingyue mainframe not only came out later, but it is also a foreign product. Xiangjiang is a place that many people have never heard of. Therefore, if there is no more investment in publicity, the Xingyue mainframe The outlook for sales is certainly bleak.

Starlight works overtime today. It’s nonsense to say that Americans don’t work overtime. It’s just that they have to pay overtime pay that is several times the normal salary.

However, the boss asks the company to work overtime, but some employees do not work overtime. If there is no legitimate reason, capital has plenty of ways to deal with such employees and make them go away. Therefore, employees usually do not object to overtime work, as long as the money is in place.

As for the physical storefront, it doesn't count as overtime at all, because I have to work on weekends.For brick-and-mortar stores like toy stores, weekends are the time when sales are the best. How can they arrange weekend breaks? Capitalists want to make money.

"Eric, have all the tasks been arranged properly?"

Before the sales officially started, Lin Baicheng asked Eric Davis about it.

"Everything is done. Whether it is an unexpected situation or a big sales explosion, the company can respond immediately."

Eric Davis responded that he has been very busy these days and dare not slack off in the slightest.

"That's fine."

Lin Baicheng nodded, said a few more words to Eric Davis, and then left without disturbing Eric Davis' work.

Although the Xingyue mainframe officially started selling today, Lin Baicheng actually has nothing to do for a while. Unless something unexpected happens, the people below have already done what needs to be done.

At eight o'clock in the morning, nearly [-] starlight toy stores across the United States opened for business.Among the nearly [-] Starlight toy stores, about [-] physical stores in the city will start selling Xingyue consoles and related game cartridges today.

The clerks in each store are already quite familiar with Xingyue consoles and game cassettes, and they are all ready to recommend sales to customers, and they are full of expectations.

Working in the Starlight Toy Store, besides receiving a basic salary that is not high or low, the monthly turnover of the store is related to their performance commission and their salary, so they can't help but be careless.

Because the performance commission of the clerks is related to the total turnover, and the performance commission of each employee is the same, only the store manager is higher, so the clerks will not make troubles in order to grab customers, and it is not allowed for everyone's performance commission. Some people are lazy, and everyone works together to increase the monthly turnover.

Of course, such a system must have flaws, that is, it is unfair to outstanding employees, so each store has an outstanding employee award every month, and the employee with the highest sales is an excellent employee, and can receive another bonus.

There is no perfect system, only the right system.

For now, Starlight Toy Store's monthly turnover under this system is not bad compared to other toy stores, and some will be better. This is enough, and we can't ask for too much.
