In Satoru Iwata’s slightly suspicious eyes, Boss Jia completed the first half of the foundry negotiation with Nintendo.

First of all, Great-Thousand of Boss Jia confirmed a contract to produce 3 N50010000 units within 64 months. If the task cannot be completed, it will be required to pay a penalty of USD 64100 per N1.

To be fair, the penalty is fair and not too high.

In order to help Great-Thousand production, Nintendo needs to fully assist Great-Thousand’s production work, such as providing a full set of drawings, parts that only Nintendo has, and ordering channels for various parts, and 20 first-line production engineers as assistance.

At the same time, Nintendo also needs to help Great-Thousand purchase more than 100 professional equipment. These equipment can not be bought with money and must be obtained by Nintendo.

Anyway, in a nutshell, Nintendo must provide every possible help to Great-Thousand. In this regard, Boss Jia believes that Nintendo will do it. After all, it is them who urgently need N64, and they will not destroy Great-Thousand’s production.

“Iwata-kun, the details of the contract are very complete. We have no opinion, just don’t know what price Iwata is willing to give!” After discussing the details of the contract, the most critical pricing issue remains.

Boss Jia indifferently asked.

“Well…” Satoru Iwata hesitated, because Nintendo has its own production plant. Previously, the production tasks of the host were done by Nintendo itself.

Although about 60% of the parts are purchased from suppliers, there is no doubt that these hosts are produced by Nintendo itself.

Therefore, Nintendo has never given the whole machine to other people’s OEM experience, so naturally they don’t know how to quote.

Ever since, Satoru Iwata began to calculate the cost of producing an N64 by himself, which was $152.75.

The price of the N64 is US$199, so an N64 has a profit of US$46, which looks pretty good.

But this is just an illusion, because the price of N64 to dealers is not this price. After all, dealers also want to make money, so the actual ex-factory price is US$169.

It seems that there is still a profit of 16 US dollars, but if you include various taxes and fees such as consumption tax, value-added tax, and customs duties, then the profit of 16 US dollars is almost completely consumed, and each machine Nintendo even pays To make up for the price of nearly 10 dollars.

It can be said that Nintendo will lose money for every machine sold.

In fact, Nintendo could have set the price a little higher, but the PS price is only $199. If Nintendo is higher than this price, then the price will not be competitive.

So Nintendo can only lower the price to $199 to compete with PS.

Of course, you don’t need to think that Nintendo is a fool for doing this, because the profit in this industry has never been on the game console. Since ancient times, almost all game consoles have lost money.

After all, the real profits of the console industry are in the game itself.

For every game sold by N64, Nintendo can get a profit of about $10, which means that as long as one game is sold, the missing cost of an N64 will come back.

After each additional game sold, that is Nintendo’s net profit, and the player is obviously impossible to buy one game for one console, so as long as the console can be sold, Nintendo can make a lot of money.

Cough cough, let’s get down to business. When it comes to price, Satoru Iwata started to ponder in his heart. With Nintendo’s technology and equipment, as well as the ultimate cost reduction strategy, the cost of each machine is nearly 153 US dollars, so the price is Great- Thousand is probably hard to reach.

Obviously, Great-Thousand will not do business at a loss.

Or give him 160 dollars?

Satoru Iwata is whispered in his heart, but if this happens, the cost of N64 will increase by 7 dollars. Yamauchi Hiroshi understood, I am afraid that I am not going to kill myself.

However, even the purchase price of 160 US dollars is estimated to be low, because if this list is handed over to other companies to produce them, they may offer a price of more than 200 US dollars. After all, not everyone can compress it like Nintendo. Cost.

But if the price is 153 dollars, then Great-Thousand will definitely not do it. Hey, how do you give the price? I’m so hard!

In Satoru Iwata’s mind, it took 100 to 1000 times for a long time, and finally decided to quote according to his own production cost. If Great-Thousand is too low, talk about it.

“We can buy each machine for $152!” Finally, Satoru Iwata opened the mouth and said.

“This is too low!” Boss Jia wailed when he heard it. “Iwata-kun, you know, our Great-Thousand manufactures game consoles for you from scratch, and we spend all the equipment. Money comes to buy new ones. Your price of US$152 is too low. We can’t make any money at all, and we have to lose money!”

“Sure enough, the other party refused…” Satoru Iwata sighed, and felt that his price was a bit too much, so he gritted his teeth, and said, “Then 155 dollars, this is what I can I’ve given you the highest price, otherwise I’m really… Hey, Jia-kun, and you speak frankly. The production cost of US$152 is our Nintendo’s own production cost. The price I gave you is more than our own production cost. Yes, we are already very sincere!”

“So…” Boss Jia pursed his lips, seeming to be caught in extreme thinking and calculations, and finally said, “Okay, we can barely accept this price, but Nintendo must promise us that after the order is completed, we must We must continue to give us N50010000 orders, and the number of orders cannot be less than half of the total sales of N64.”

“Otherwise, the equipment I bought for the production of N64 will be caught blindly and put there as air!” Boss Jia sighed said.

“This…” Satoru Iwata hesitated for a while, and then said, “If this is the case, the price must return to the price of 152 US dollars, and the order price must be recalculated every six months. After all, the international electronic component prices are As costs continue to fall, costs will continue to fall. Our purchase prices must also change. We cannot make N64 at a loss forever.”

“Okay, I can promise you!” Boss Jia thought for ten minutes before finally agreeing to Satoru Iwata, but Satoru Iwata still needs to ask Yamauchi Hiroshi for instructions.

Satoru Iwata thought that when Yamauchi Hiroshi saw this contract, when the purchase price was actually higher than his own production price, his eyes would be angry.

But didn’t expect Yamauchi Hiroshi but he agreed very calmly. When he wanted to come to Yamauchi Hiroshi, he also understood that time is the most important cost and didn’t want to waste time, so he agreed so readily.

So on the 2nd day, the two parties signed the contract happily, and then Boss Jia left Nintendo in a hurry, saying that he was going to arrange the purchase of equipment and raw materials. He had to negotiate with any supplier and try to keep the price down again. some type of.

What Satoru Iwata didn’t know was that after Boss Jia left Nintendo, he sat directly in his car and ordered his Secretary to distribute the already prepared production plan to the companies under the Great-Thousand Group Army.

In the end, these companies will send the finished products to Tianxing Machinery, which will be responsible for the final production and assembly.

No way. With the development of these companies, everyone is waiting to be fed. Many companies have no meat to eat. As their Big Boss, Boss Jia must be responsible for finding food for them.

“Chairman, our production cost has been calculated!” A few days later, the Secretary gave a report that was calculated to 5 digits after the decimal point to Boss Jia. Boss Jia looked down at the final total production cost. Is “$98.3254”

“It’s still too high!” Boss Jia sighed, and then shook his head and said, “Tell the company below that, we still have to find a way to reduce the cost by 10 dollars. After all, all the chips are paid by the head office at cost. Yes, they can’t play tricks with me. I think there is at least 15 dollars in the price. You can’t be too dark. Don’t think that I am a boss, you can bully me!”
