I lost my vegetative state, and I became the richest man in the world

Chapter 149 Game consoles on the street!
In Yang Ming's view, Red Bull has many potential consumers.

Coach driver.

Students preparing for exams.

Nightlife crowds, like discos, nightclubs, and bars.

In addition, there are hardworking people, like those business owners who work overtime day and night, and so on.

Red Bull can play the role of staying up late and refreshing the brain.

However, Yang Ming also knows that Xiangjiang now has a population of more than 400 million, and the population is not large, which means that the consumer market is limited.

Except Xiangjiang.

There are so many global markets now.

Like Southeast Asia, Europe, America and so on.

In Yang Ming's view, the market is huge, and as long as the marketing is done well, it will definitely become the most popular functional drink in the world in the future.

"Chen Zhenhua, how do you feel after drinking it?"

"Boss, it tastes a bit weird. But it's really different after drinking it."

"Compared to Coke?"

Compared with Coke?
This is really not comparable, after all, it is not a type of drink.

Many consumers may be used to drinking Coke and may not necessarily buy Red Bull.

"Boss, to be honest, if the price is the same, I still like to drink Coke."

Chen Zhenhua said truthfully.

Yang Ming nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

When Yang Ming, Ah Zhu, Zhong Chuhong and others left here.

Looking at the bustling and bustling streets of Xiangjiang in the late 70s, it is easy for Yang Ming to blend in.

Pass the long Graham Street.

Yang Ming came to an intersection.

At the corner, I saw many people gathered there.

There are adults and children.

At the beginning, Chen Zhenhua and others were still worried about the safety of their boss Yang Ming, so they immediately guarded Yang Ming with other bodyguards.

"You don't have to worry. Ah Zhu, push me to take a closer look."

Ah Zhu pushed Yang Ming over there.

He finally saw clearly.

This turned out to be a gaming machine.

Outside this game console bar, so many people gathered there, watching a teenage boy playing an arcade machine.

This arcade game machine is the most popular "Space Invaders" in the world right now.

Space Invaders was officially released on April Fool's Day.

Afterwards, this game console was gradually delivered to major merchants in the order of order.

The price of this game console is not cheap.

It costs 6500 U.S. dollars to buy goods from Empire Games, and 35750 Hong Kong dollars to convert them into Hong Kong dollars. If you buy goods from other agents, the price may soar to 38000 or even 40000 Hong Kong dollars a piece.

In 1978, a game console worth nearly [-] to [-] Hong Kong dollars was a very expensive luxury plaything.

It is also because of that.

From the launch on April 15st to June now, after two months, the global order volume has exceeded [-] units.

These 15 units have already reached $10 billion in revenue.

It is precisely because it is so expensive that Xiangjiang is not a middle-income class or a businessman's family really can't afford it.

Now there is one outside the door, which should be used by this businessman to make money.

Ordinary families in Xiangjiang don’t eat or drink, and don’t know how long it will take to buy one.

Like many children, even adults like this game very much, and spend their own money in exchange for game currency, which means that children from ordinary families also have the opportunity to really play this game.

Historically, when this game was launched in Toyo, Taito Co., Ltd. and Taito's agents began to open game halls in major cities in Toyo.

One of these machines can earn 10000 yen a day.

Calculated according to the exchange rate, 10000 yen is about 50 US dollars, which is nearly 275 Hong Kong dollars when converted into Hong Kong dollars.

A machine that operates 24 hours a day can make a profit of 275 Hong Kong dollars.

This is very normal in the Toyo market.

On the Xiangjiang side, it may be more expensive according to the merchant owner's own pricing.

Yang Ming didn't squeeze in, but was still watching outside.

He found a 5 or [-]-year-old boy who stuffed game coins into the arcade machine. It should have only been playing for about [-] minutes before it shut down immediately.

Under normal circumstances, it is played by players passing through level after level.

Now play by limiting the time, the business owner doesn't care whether you pass the level or not.

"Azhu, push me inside."

Yang Ming was pushed by Ah Zhu to the game room at the corner. Yang Ming found that besides the arcade machine at the door, there were actually two more inside.

Counting it down, there are three arcade machines in total.

Even with the two inside, the small space of the game console room was packed with many people.

At the front desk, a young guy with yellow hair was exchanging game coins for those people.

"Go and ask him if the boss is here?"

When Chen Zhenhua went over, the people who were queuing thought that when Chen Zhenhua wanted to jump in line to exchange game coins, some people got angry.

Seeing Chen Zhenhua's appearance, he didn't dare to curse.

"Is your boss here?"

"Why are you looking for my boss?"

At this time, Xiangjiang's economy is very good, but for some ordinary businessmen, the business environment is not so good, and members of various associations often come to destroy or even collect money.

Looking at the appearance of Chen Zhenhua and others, I thought he was one of those people.

"My boss just wanted to ask him something."

"My boss isn't here."

The yellow-haired young man still said with that cigarette in his mouth.

There was so much noise in here that Yang Ming couldn't hear clearly.

When Chen Zhenhua came over, he said, "Boss, that yellow hair said his boss is not here."

If it's not here, then forget it.

He had just seen a piece of paper pasted on the cash register.

It is written in traditional Chinese characters on the paper.

Please line up to exchange game currency.

A game currency is 1 Hong Kong dollar, and each game currency can be played for 5 minutes.

That is to say, one game currency is 1 Hong Kong dollar, and players can only use one game currency to play for 5 minutes at a time, which is equivalent to 1 Hong Kong dollars for 0.2 minute.

Calculated by Yang Ming, 24 hours a day is equivalent to 1440 minutes. In other words, if the machine does not stop for a day, it is equivalent to 288 Hong Kong dollars.

This is just the net income of a machine, after excluding electricity, store, and labor costs, the remaining day's profit depends on the merchant's expenditure.

Based on this 288 Hong Kong dollars, it is very similar to Toyo's daily income of 10000 yen per machine.

Yang Ming did a simple calculation again.

The net profit of this machine is 250 Hong Kong dollars a day, 750 Hong Kong dollars for three machines, and 22500 Hong Kong dollars a month.

However, Yang Ming calculated the purchase price of 35750 Hong Kong dollars for each of the three machines, and 107250 Hong Kong dollars for the three machines, so it only takes 4.7 months for the three machines to pay back.

Calculated again, it will take about five months to pay back.

Next, except for other expenses, the second half of the year is basically a profitable period.

Ah Zhu is not very good at other aspects, but she can do the calculation by mouth. She did some calculation just now, besides feeling that the machine is very expensive, she also said from the side: "Master, this machine is too profitable."

"Then test you, how long will it take for this machine to pay back?"

"Master, I just calculated, it's about five months." Ah Zhu said.

Zhong Chuhong settled accounts for her parents at the clothing store in Chongqing Mansion since she was a child, and she had to consider other factors.

"Young Master Yang, I think you should be able to pay back your capital in about half a year."
