Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 50 Los Angeles Fair ([-])
"There are indeed a lot of people!"

Outside the Xinghe game exhibition hall, looking at the flow of people that almost surrounded the Xinghe game exhibition hall, Ura Yamauchi knew that this Xinghe game exhibition should be a success.

Not only because Yamauchi Pu saw so many people waiting to play the two games at the Galaxy Game Exhibition, but also because he observed many international agents coming in and out during the time he spent outside, and most of them just stayed there. It took a while to leave.

Although I don't know if Xinghe Games has negotiated cooperation with these agents, but it can be seen that these agents are interested in the two games of Xinghe Games, and there will be many people who want to represent them. Even if they don't agree now, it's just the price That's all.

Although Xinghe Games is only a game company of Xiangjiang, and the company has only been established for about half a year, the two games developed by this company so far are popular and can make money. This is what attracts Yamauchipu's attention the most and envious.

A good game can bring extremely high profits to the company, which is why Yamauchiura is determined to enter the game industry. He has a premonition that Galaxy Games will be an obstacle to Nintendo's development in the game industry. Will be an important rival of Nintendo.

But even with this premonition, there is nothing Ura Yamauchi can do. All he can do is to develop Nintendo well and grow Nintendo step by step.As for the Xinghe game, we can only hope that the opponent will have problems.

After the exhibition on this day, Galaxy Games left many contact information of agents. Some agents intended to place orders on the spot, but because of the small order volume, they were declined by Lin Baicheng, saying that after the exhibition ended, Galaxy Games A temporary agency meeting will be held, and everyone will decide on agency matters at that time.

The remaining two days of the exhibition are just enough for the agents to observe whether the two games of Xinghe Games can continue to be popular, and at the same time let them consider how much it is appropriate to place an order.

At the end of the exhibition that day, Lin Baicheng heard the news from Phil Smith that Atari VCS, which is the main sales of Atari this year, has received [-] orders today, and it is one of the few games that has received orders today. one of the company.

Atari VCS, Lin Baicheng didn't know what it was at first, but after asking in detail, he realized that it was the predecessor of Atari 2600, but now it is called Atari VCS.

Atari VCS is a video game for home consoles. It costs $199 a set and includes nine mini-games. It has been sold to the outside world a month ago. Including today’s orders, it has already sold more than [-] units.

But don't look at the sales, but because of the low price, Atari doesn't make a lot of money per unit, so it can make a few million dollars at most.As for how much you earn, it depends on how much the home machine costs.

It was at this time, after asking Phil Smith, that Lin Baicheng learned that Atari mainly made home console video games in this era, especially the [-] million US dollars obtained by selling itself to Warner, which was used to develop this game. Atari VCS games.

Judging from the current sales volume, the Atari VCS is not yet a success, but it is not a failure either. After all, the market is willing to buy this device.

The reason why the sales of Atari VCS are not high now is because it has Fairchild F-wave as an opponent. Fairchild is also making home console video games. It is a direct competitor of Atari and suppresses Atari. At the same time as the VCS sales volume, Atari did not dare to set a high price for this device, thus limiting profits.

However, the reborn Lin Baicheng knows very well that Atari actually made its fortune from the Atari 2600. The sales of this device will reach 200 million units in the next two to three years, earning Atari more than 20 billion US dollars. profit.

As for why a device with a unit price of 199 US dollars, 200 million units can earn Atari more than 20 billion US dollars in profit?

The reason is very simple, because this is a plug-in device for game cartridges. Nintendo’s red and white machine a few years later is actually a reference to this device.

Now that he knew that the Atari 2600 was so profitable, didn't Lin Baicheng think about doing it?Of course he thought about it, but the problem is that he doesn't have the capital. Atari spent [-] million U.S. dollars to develop this device. Even if Lin Baicheng could save some, it would cost tens of millions of U.S. dollars.

As for Lin Baicheng, who just started this year, how could he have so much money at the beginning, and he might not even be able to splash a little bit of money when he invested so little capital in hardware research and development.

But it will be different in the future. Lin Baicheng has long decided that when he has a certain amount of capital, he will poach Nintendo's Yokoi Junhei and let Yokoi Junhei lead the research and development of the red and white machine.

Lin Baicheng can contribute some efforts in software development, but not in hardware. He can only tell what kind of hardware equipment effect he needs, and then let the people below make it. He needs it very much.

Without Yokoi Junhei, although Lin Baicheng could find other people, it would definitely waste more R&D funds and require more R&D time.This is the difference between industry experts and ordinary researchers, and there is a huge gap between them.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

Although Xinghe Games is just a small game company from Xiangjiang, "Xiangjiang Square" and "Pac-Man" are quite popular, so they are not only loved by game lovers, but also affirmed by agents, and even more so. There are several tap water newspapers reporting these two games.

At the temporary agent meeting held by Galaxy Games the day after the exhibition, Galaxy Games received a large number of orders.

Among them, RB and the North American market of the game "Xiangjiang Square" have no orders because they already have an exclusive agent relationship, but there are also many agents in Europe, South America and other places. It is a pity that these agents did not bid to win the exclusive agent Instead, they place orders separately, which saves Lin Baicheng a sum of agency fees.

Some agents only placed orders for dozens of machines, while others placed orders for hundreds of machines, and there would be no more.Despite this, the game "Xiangjiang Square" still won 5000 orders in the global market this time.

As for the game "Pac-Man", it is different. Agents are more optimistic about this game, and many agents want to win the exclusive agency rights in their respective regions.

But Lin Baicheng who wanted to win the exclusive agency right did not refuse, because Xinghe game has no channels abroad now, and the game has anti-piracy software, he is not afraid that these agents will secretly pirate, so he can give the other party the exclusive agency right. Earn an extra exclusive agency fee.
