Chapter 4 The price of cassettes

At this time, Wei Junjie was worrying about the game chips and materials for the game.

Because he owed the bank 600 million, it was absolutely impossible for the bank to lend him any more money.

These aspects all require you to spend a lot of money, and the income during this period is not enough to cover the cost of the game and the cost of the chip.

However, if he wants to buy materials, he will need a huge amount of funds, so now he is in a dilemma.

Wei Junjie's brows were furrowed, and the sadness in his eyes continued to spread.

He is still very poor.

At this time, Wei Junjie took out his real estate certificate from the cabinet at home and read it over and over again.

"Could it be that I really want to take this step?" Wei Junjie's eyes were filled with deep confusion.

Wei Junjie frowned and thought deeply for a long time, and finally sighed, there was really nothing he could do.

Wei Junjie helplessly dialed the real estate agency's phone number and said, "Hi, I'm Wei Junjie, we talked last time."

"Hello, Mr. Wei!" A middle-aged man's voice came from the phone, his tone seemed very polite.

Because it was an old community and they were in a hurry for money, the agency sold Wei Junjie's house for 120 million, and the agency took another 6.

Wei Junjie had to lament that this agency was really shady.

And after selling the house.

Wei Junjie also contacted dozens of suppliers to select materials and chips for game consoles.

After all the materials were ready, Wei Junjie also took the time to apply for the copyright of game knowledge.

After all, only with copyright protection can you enjoy legal protection, so as to ensure that the game is not infringed.

Of course, China's definition of plagiarism in the gaming industry is also vague, but it is better than nothing.

During this period, they have been busy.

Time flies, and several months have passed.

At this time, Wei Junjie was eating and sleeping at the company every day. He basically had no time except work hours.

While other employees see their boss working so hard every day, they are also full of fighting spirit and full of energy.

Seeing the game being built bit by bit, everyone is very excited and their enthusiasm for work is even higher.

Some people even stayed up late and worked overtime on the floor of the studio.

If Wei Junjie really knew what his employees were thinking, he would definitely say that he had no place to live, so he was just sleeping in the company.

With the joint efforts of Wei Junjie and many employees, the game has begun to take shape. When the time came in July, the game was completely produced.

in the office.

"Little boss, we are already building the eshop mall you mentioned, and we are already selecting voice actors for the characters. However, our funds seem to be insufficient." Wang Hao was reporting to Wei Junjie.

Wang Hao is the chief game planner of Ren Xiaotang Company.

Looking at the financial statements handed over by Wang Hao, Wei Junjie couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat as he looked at the thick data sheet.

It has only been a few months, and the company's accounts have already bottomed out.

Moreover, every time I look at the accounts, it looks like there is a fiscal deficit.

Seeing that the expenses are greater than the income, Wei Junjie really has a headache. If this continues, I'm afraid they will close down.

"Well, has the cassette been made?" At this time, Wei Junjie was trying to change the subject.

Wang Hao was stunned, thinking that Wei Junjie was concerned about whether the cassette was completed.

He nodded and said, "Yes, it's done."

After saying that, he handed the cassette and packaging box to Wei Junjie.Wei Junjie took the packaging box and looked at it carefully.

The packaging box is engraved with Link standing on a stone, holding a sword in his right hand, a shield in his left hand, and a bow and arrow on his back.

Looking up at the snow-capped mountains and sky in front of us, they look very beautiful, as if they are in a fairyland.

The packaging box is engraved with the characters "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" in simplified Chinese, and is accompanied by a line of English letters The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Looking at the Zelda cover above, Wei Junjie couldn't help but look nostalgic.

Wei Junjie opened the packaging box and looked at the cassette stored in the packaging box. He suddenly felt a little excited inside.

The cassette is not big, about the size of a dollar coin, but it is extremely delicate and the patterns on it are also very beautiful.

The picture above is also relatively clear, it is the totem of Hyrule, plus the simplified Chinese text, Breath of the Wild.

But soon, Wei Junjie returned to his normal state, looked at the cassette and said, "The effect of this cassette is pretty good!"

When Wei Junjie said this, there was a hint of expectation and joy in his tone.

When Wang Hao heard this, he nodded quickly and said:

"Of course there is no problem. In order to prevent children from accidentally eating it, we have also applied ammonium benzoate glycide on the chip sensing area on the back of the cassette."

As we all know, the switch cassette is the sweetest thing in the world. If you are interested, you can try it.

But according to some experts, some cassettes have different flavors. For example, the Animal Crossing cassette is sour and bitter, and the Zelda cassette is bitter with a bit of spiciness.

"By the way, boss, how much do you plan to price the game?" Wang Hao suddenly thought of something and asked quickly.

Wei Junjie was startled, thought for a moment, and then said: "2000!"

"what?!"

Hearing this, Wang Hao was stunned for a moment.

What game sells for more than 2000? Is there any mistake?This is simply robbery!

Wang Hao couldn't help opening his mouth in surprise, and said, "2000! Boss, why don't you grab it?!"

Seeing Wang Hao's reaction, Wei Junjie's face froze.

"Ahem." Wei Junjie coughed lightly, and then said: "What I mean is that our game consoles are priced at more than 2000 yuan, and the games are sold for 349 yuan."

At this time, Wang Hao calmed down instantly. He was shocked. He thought a game would sell for more than 2000 yuan.

"What about the purchase price of the cassette from the manufacturers we have cooperated with before and our offline direct stores when it is released?" Wang Hao asked quickly.

"It would be cheaper to get the cassette, *** yuan." Wei Junjie thought for a while.

"Why are cassettes so cheap?" Wang Hao asked with confusion on his face.

Wei Junjie shrugged and said:
"The reason why cassettes are cheap is to protect the interests of physical stores. In addition to rebates for purchasing goods and regular promotions, the price gap is large."

"Furthermore, due to various reasons in the circulation process, the price of the cassette is close to that of the digital version at the beginning. Unless it is out of print, the price will continue to drop."

"The entity has the risk that the inventory cannot be sold, so the price will be discounted, which is risk compensation."

Wei Junjie spoke in detail, and Wang Hao couldn't help but nod: "In other words, will our digital version of first-party games also be discounted when the popularity of the game drops?"

"Old Wang, don't always think about money, money, money. You have to know that our games exist for the fun of players. Fun games are what we have always pursued." Wei Junjie looked at Wang Hao and took a photo Tap him on the shoulder.

Listening to Wei Junjie's words, Wang Hao's eyes flashed with admiration. It turned out that he was still too tacky. He benefited a lot from being with his boss and his confidence increased a lot.

"So, try not to discount the digital version of first-party games!" Wei Junjie revealed a sinister smile and said to the game design drawings on the computer screen.

After hearing this, Wang Hao couldn't help but swallowed.

What the hell.
