Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 456 Sales Data

Sunday morning, May 5th.

Lin Baicheng and Mori Haruko were having breakfast in the villa while waiting for Bill Harveys to come and report to him the sales data of the Xingyue mainframe and cassettes in the United States yesterday.

The reason why yesterday’s sales data was not reported until the next morning was because some cities in the United States have time differences, and it is not the Internet age, so it would take a lot of money to collect the sales data of more than 500 toy stores across the country. less time.

As for Japan and Xiangjiang, the time of the two places is fifteen or sixteen hours faster than that of Los Angeles, so just yesterday, Lin Baicheng already knew the sales data of Japan and Hong Kong on Saturday from Wobb Wilson.

About 10 minutes after Lin Baicheng and Mori Haruko had breakfast, Bill Harveys came to Lin Baicheng's villa.

Lin Baicheng was sitting on the sofa in the lobby listening to Bill Harveys report to him.

"Chairman, the sales data of Xingyue consoles and game cassettes in various Xingguang toy stores have been released yesterday."

Bill Harveys took out a document from his briefcase while speaking.

Lin Baicheng took the document and read it, and Haruko Mori, who was sitting beside him, also looked at it.

This is a sales data of Xingyue consoles and game cartridges in various toy stores as of the end of business hours at [-]:[-] p.m. on Saturday.

Yesterday, Saturday, a total of 7580 ordinary Xingyue consoles were sold in the United States, 60 high-end luxury versions were sold, and a total of 31840 copies of game cassettes were sold. The cassette sales of these three games of "Crazy Racing" rank among the top three.

As for "Super Mario Bros.", the purchase of the console will come with a cassette of this game.Despite this, the game's cartridges are still sold today, but the sales rank is the lowest, with only more than 1000 copies sold.

普通版星月主机一台售价179美元，7580台就是135.682万美元；高配豪华版主机一台399美元，60台就是23940美元；游戏卡带统一都是每份40美元，不管什么游戏的价格都一样，31840份就是127.36万美元。

The total sum is 265.436 US dollars, which is the sales of Xingyue consoles and game cassettes in the United States on Saturday.

The sales data in the United States is much better than the sales data in Japan on Saturday. In Japan, 4350 units of the regular version of Xingyue consoles were sold, 35 units of the high-end deluxe version were sold, and 19500 copies of game cassettes were sold.

According to statistics, the sales of the two versions of Xingyue consoles are 79.2615 US dollars, and the sales of game cassettes are 78 US dollars, adding up to 157.2615 US dollars.

As for Xiangjiang, it is almost negligible. The sales of the console plus game cassettes are only 38278 US dollars, which is less than [-] US dollars, not even a fraction of the United States and Japan.

This is also impossible. There is still a big gap between Xiangjiang's economic level and that of the United States and Japan.More importantly, the total population of Xiangjiang is only about 500 million, while Japan has a population of more than 1 million, and the United States has a total population of more than 2 million.

The population of Japan is more than 20 times that of Hong Kong, and the population of the United States is more than 40 times that of Hong Kong.If the sales of Xiangjiang are multiplied by [-] and [-] respectively, then the sales of Xiangjiang will not be much worse than those of the United States and Japan.

However, the reality is that the population of Xiangjiang is too small, and the sales volume is incomparable with that of the United States and Japan.

A total of more than 400 million US dollars in sales is not low, and Lin Baicheng is actually making money just by calculating the production cost.

There are almost 1.2 mainframes, and only counting the production cost, each machine loses about 50 US dollars, which is equivalent to a loss of only 60 US dollars.

The profit of each game cassette is 20 US dollars, and 100 copies is a profit of about [-] million US dollars.

It's a pity that costs such as research and development, publicity, labor salaries, and shipping costs have to be calculated, all of which must be a loss.

Fortunately, the sales volume of game cartridges will be higher than that of game consoles. As time goes by, the sales volume of game cassettes may be dozens of times that of consoles, and it will definitely make money by then.

It’s just that the reason why the first day of sales had such a good result is that there were nearly [-] consoles pre-sold before, and most of today’s sales were purchased by people who had previously pre-ordered.

Not only yesterday, but today, people who pre-ordered the console will buy the console and cassettes. After all, these two days are weekends, and most people who pre-ordered the console will choose to buy during these two days.

In other words, the sales of these two days cannot be regarded as the sales of normal time.

Next week's weekend two-day sales will likely not be as good as they are now, and the Monday-Friday sales will be even smaller.

The reason why I just say it is very possible, not certain, is that as time goes by, more people will know about the Xingyue console and the games that come with it, and with the praise and recommendations of players who have purchased it, the sales will increase. , but the possibility of a large increase in a short period of time is very small.

In any case, Lin Baicheng is still satisfied with yesterday's sales.

In terms of console sales, there were nearly 1.2 units yesterday. After deducting the amount of pre-sales, the normal sales volume would be about [-] units.

After all, today is the first day of sales. As the game gradually becomes popular, it will definitely drive the sales of consoles. It is not impossible for the monthly sales to exceed [-] units.

"Yesterday's sales were not bad, but because of the pre-sale, the sales of these two days cannot be counted as daily sales. It takes about ten and a half months to determine the average daily sales."

"Follow-up publicity, sales and after-sales work must continue to follow up, especially after-sales. We are doing long-term business."

Lin Baicheng said aloud that although the United States and Japan have established branches of Xingyue Video Game Company, they are all newly established and need to be watched.

"Chairman, don't worry, I will follow up and do a good job in related work."

Bill Harveys responded.

"Well, I'm in Los Angeles recently, so I will follow up. After I leave Los Angeles and return to Xiangjiang, you should pay more attention to the sales of the Xingyue console."

Lin Baicheng reminded Bill Hawes that after all, Isabella still has the position of manager of New Century Software Company, and more energy should be devoted to this software company.

Now the United States is recruiting assistants for Lin Baicheng, but the assistants recruited in the future will not be comparable to the managers of various companies. They are really just assisting Lin Baicheng in handling the affairs of various companies.

It can be said that Haruko Mori, Isabella and others had a good time and joined Lin Baicheng early in the morning. In the absence of talents, it was easier for them to become managers at the manager level.

The assistants recruited later will not be so lucky, and they will definitely have to spend time.
