please make money

"Games? Atari ones? Played a little bit."

"I have never played video games, but I often play board games."

"Played, played—can I have an autograph?"

"Hahaha, of course you can, but I will sign it for you later, four, please divide into two groups and try these games."

The big screen is divided into four pieces, and the games played on the screen are Plumber and Donkey Kong.

Among these four people, one is actually Aliya's caretaker, and the other party is even a queen tester of Shigeru Miyamoto's game studio.

Not to mention the level of technology in 2015, even if it reaches the level of technology hardware in 2023, there are still many people who are willing to watch a master plumber.

The reason why the game live broadcasting industry can empathize with people is that, apart from the fact that the hardware can’t keep up and can only pass customs through the cloud and be lazy, there is also a reason for food.

I think I can do it too, I am handicapped, the eyes say I have learned this operation, the hands say you (TM) don't get involved, the brain says where am I, what should I do, I can't!

Maybe in the future, some people will like the anchor, and some people will like the atmosphere of the game live broadcast, but that is all in the future.

The current players may be the first batch of players in the world to watch the live broadcast of the game, purely because of the silky-smooth operation that Alia asked.

Of course, it is more likely that players will happily play the first level of the plumber for several years in the future, without knowing that the purpose of this thing is to save the princess.

Princess?what is that?Hey, I'm going to collect gold coins!

After a while of silky combos, P2 was replaced by a normal player and the clumsy girl with trembling hands.

If you look at the master's operation, I learned it and I want to play it, then look at the blood pressure player's operation, I understand you and let me forget it!

During the 10-minute demo, everyone went from being inattentive at the beginning to concentrating on it, and at the end, they sighed regretfully at the failure of the last player.

"Now what everyone sees is the latest generation of living room game console developed by Aistar Technology and friends. We named it FC red and white machine."

Alia held up the FC red and white machine and showed it to everyone: "Its performance, in the current hardware era, can be said to be undoubtedly behind the mainstream smartphones, but it is precisely because of this that we To be able to compress a lot of costs into the development of game software, we have equipped this game console with eight first escort games, and the plumber you saw before is one of them."

A buddy with a surprisingly loud voice yelled below the stage: "Tell me the price!"

Alia then laughed loudly: "I know you guys are concerned about the price, but at least it gives me a chance to express my feelings!"

"This is a fairy tale I give to adults, and a childhood gift to children. Entertainment is never a sin, and entertaining is a truth that our ancestors have realized. One of my employees told me before that she Bought the latest washing machine for her mother, and taught her mother for a month, her mother can only press the switch and the default settings, and has never used any other functions, so she can’t learn.”

"Then I comforted her, saying that the old man is like this, and his learning ability can't keep up, so he needs to understand more."

"In the end, she told me that's not the case - she bought a smart mahjong machine for her mother, and her mother not only knows how to use it, but even disassembled it and repaired it herself!"

There was a sound of good-natured laughter from the audience, obviously everyone felt the same about this kind of thing.

The most direct thing is a software that claims to be small and beautiful. They say they can’t use a smartphone, but they can press that software with their eyes closed.

If it is said that this is the simplicity and elegance of the design, it is not necessarily true, it is more simply not interested.

"So, interest is the best teacher. Children have a lot of time in childhood. They have time for learning, and they should also have time for life. They should also have time for happy games. It is the responsibility of parents to allocate these time reasonably. All the happiness is taken away, and only cramming learning is left. I think this is not the right that parents should have, and it is more like an irresponsible performance of children.”

"I released a product before, called Tamagotchi, I don't know how many people here have bought that thing, if so, I hope it can bring you or your children a little bit of modern society The relatively relaxed experience of raising pets here, we will miss the simple and beautiful little happiness in the past, just like me even now, sometimes when my mother is still around, she takes me to play with toys and play chess..."

Aliya was silent for a few seconds, showing a slightly sentimental smile: "My mother is gone, but I miss her very much, and I also miss the happiness."

"I hope that in the future, when everyone recalls the happiness of the family, there will be more warm scenes and the laughter brought about by our games. Even if there is only a little bit, that is the best response to our efforts."

As she spoke, she pressed the remote control, and a price of 999 appeared on the big screen.

The guests looked at the price of 99 and applauded politely, thinking it was acceptable.

This is actually a relatively reasonable price. Although Aliya said that the cost of hardware development has been kept to a minimum, giving everyone the illusion that this thing may cost less than [-] yuan, but refer to the previous Atari and other game consoles on the market. The pricing is already very conscientious.

You must know that other game consoles at the same time were priced at more than 1500, and the Sega released earlier was directly priced at 2800, and it was only 2500 after the discount.

Aliya wiped the corners of her eyes, and looked back at the big screen: "You don't really think it's this price, do you?"

ah?The guests were still clapping their hands, and they were taken aback when they heard this - isn't it?

"If you were a student and saw a 999 yuan game console, how powerless would you feel if you couldn't reach it... I begged my parents to buy it. The simplest hesitation of the parents was that it was too expensive. I made a 700 yuan game console. Even Amy 1S thinks it’s not enough, how could it be possible to make such a family-friendly game console for 999 yuan?”

Speaking of which, Aliya snapped her fingers, and the first digit of 999 on the screen began to rotate, like a slot machine for luck.

"Guess how much, take a wild guess—"

"seven! 』

"five--"

"Four! 』

"Three nine nine! 』

"two!two! 』

In the end, the sound waves converged into two, and everyone felt that two ninety-nine was the most surprising, and it was also slightly possible.

As for the 199 or something, Alia might not make any money, and the cost price would have to be subsidized to sell the hardware.

"What made everyone so restrained that they didn't dare to speak lower?"

Alia pressed the screen to stop, and the price of 199 zoomed in and zoomed in again, occupying the entire frame of 16 meters high and 42 meters wide.

"I said, this is my gift to this world, so 190, add one yuan, choose two of the eight game cartridges, yes, not choose one, but choose two!"

"In the next ten years, the parents may scold me for being a deviant guy!"

"But it doesn't matter. After 20 years, the new generation will remember today and everything I have done for them when I stood here!"

Speaking of which, Alia opened a box, and inside the box was a yellow GBA handheld.

"So to further please the kids, I also made this, Game Boy Advance, GBA, or you can call it Little Fugue."

"I said that I want everyone to feel the fun of technology. This is my promise - adults have their own mobile phones, and children can also have their own handhelds. This handheld also supports online battles. Go find your little friends! It will be a luxury for you in the future to have one or more friends who play games with you, so enjoy the happiest childhood while you are young and carefree !"

The initial price of the GBA handheld is 9800 yen in another world line, but this time Alia gave it 189 yuan.

For an extra 1 yuan, you can get an extra online communication cable.

For an extra 10 yuan, you can get a pair of rechargeable batteries with charging equipment.

As a veritable portable handheld that uses AA batteries, the GBA is simply too power-hungry.

The theoretical 15 hours of battery life a pair of batteries offer is simply not enough…

If Alia does not provide the purchase of rechargeable batteries, the naked eye can see that the children of the future will be caught in a terrible cycle of battery consumption.

Aliya had even foreseen the scene where they skipped breakfast, saved money and bought two batteries, and even took a bite before using them.

So the full price of this thing is also two hundred, and Alia played a trick to make it thinner than a one-yuan coin.

It can only be said that people will always change, and Aliya has also changed, and she has become a profiteer in order to make money with goods.

But there is no way, she has to support so many employees, so she can only suffer from players and customers.

As for how friends and businessmen will react when they hear these words-it's none of my business?If you don't agree, move me!

Arrogant Alia finally threw a screenshot of two wristbands and slipped away, too lazy to introduce, and looked at the screen by herself.

Tired, she drank water tactically, took photos with the fans and sisters, and even signed the GBA for display directly as a gift to her.

Many years later, this thing was bought with a lot of money, and the price even soared to the level of a suite.

Because this is the display machine number 04, and it is said to be the only GBA signed by Alia.

Aliya didn't know that every single autograph of hers would be so valuable in the future, so she sent the crying and laughing young lady off the stage, and the press conference also entered the stage of the booth.

The guests began to flock to the booth to watch the real thing. There is no courtesy in this press conference—ah yes, there are gifts in this press conference.

Alia gave everyone a customized backpack, no LOGO, only a 2022 year number, but definitely thick and durable.

Because the same model was used by Alia's mother when she was an investigative reporter, Alia thought it was great, so she chose it.

Of course, this also gave birth to many famous scenes in the future.

Friends and merchants never imagined that a durable backpack would be such an exciting background board...

The global development conference can hardly escape the backs of this group of technology media guests, and the sharp-eyed audience is keen to play everyone to find fault.

After all, this time period happened to be when these self-media started, and Aliya gave a gift because it was practical. Who can blame this?

Aliya walked off the booth, and sister Jing came over and rubbed her hands: "Sister, I think the response is very good!"

"You don't know until you see the sales. Anyway, we have enough stock, so let's start selling at the same time."

The pricing in China is different from that in foreign countries, and Alia is ready for the buyers of the book to scold her.

Although the 7999 yen game console is half cheaper than the 15800 yen Sega or other competitors, it is still an exaggeration compared to the domestic price of 200 yuan.

According to the current exchange rate, 200 national yuan is equivalent to less than [-] yen, and Aliya doubles the price and sells it directly. Isn’t this stealing money?

"Also, block the scolding voices from the book during this period, as long as I can't hear it, it means nothing happened!"

"...?"

……

……

"Open the door!"Open the door—”

Yamashita had just finished watching the press conference when he heard the sound of the door being slammed.

Rather than knocking on the door, it is better to say it is smashing the door. The sound of thump thump thump makes the rolling shutter door rattle.

What I know is—forget it, who knows what is outside—couldn’t it be zombies?

Yamashita took off his hood and put away the fluorescent sticks, opened the small window on one side and looked out suspiciously.

"Shop Manager Sang!" Several children looked up at him, "Why don't you open the store?"

"...Do you want to buy something?"

"GBA! Is it in stock?"

"If you want FC - FC can choose two cassettes!"

"But GBA can be played directly with it. For FC, you have to go to the TV..."

"Go to my house! My house is quite big, everyone can go to rest if you are tired from playing!"

Yamashita scratched his face: "I'm sorry, kid, the goods haven't arrived yet, it should arrive tomorrow."

"Eh? Are you kidding me! Didn't you say global synchronization? Oh, Kassan lied to us?"

"No! Alia, Kassan will not lie, it must be her employees who concealed the truth!"

"It's disgusting—"

The twittering children were clamoring, and it was very painful to have money in their hands but not be able to spend it.

Just as Yamashita was about to say a few words of comfort, he heard the phone ringing. He went back to answer the phone, hummed a few times, then turned around and opened the door.

"There is good news. Consortium B has already started shipping, because we are very close to a warehouse, so the goods will arrive soon!"

"really?"

"Well, so have you discussed what to buy? Although FC needs a TV, it has two controllers."

The children discussed for a while, and finally gritted their teeth and took out all the money: "We only have so much..."

Yamashita looked at it, it was really not enough, it was only [-] yen, it was not enough to buy a Sega, and replaced it with Aixing Technology... huh?

He was taken aback when he thought of this, and then turned back to pick up the small notebook just now, on which was written the price of the game console in the Japanese region.

FC red and white machine, 7999 yen, two out of eight cassettes.

The GBA game console is the same price, but the cassette is one of eight.

So, with this money, they can actually buy both?

He opened the store door directly: "Come in - did you watch the press conference just now?"

"A press conference? What press conference?"

"...Then how did you know about the release?"

"A TV commercial! Didn't Consortium B have a TV commercial and say it's on sale?"

"Do you know what the price is?"

"Didn't mention the price...we just saw an advanced version of Tamagotchi, what's that called? The one of the Bug Catcher?"

"You should be talking about Pokemon, but we only have promotional pictures, and we haven't seen the specific gameplay."

Yamashita took out a stack of posters, and the image of Yusanjia, the charmander Jenny, turtle, garlic, and bastard, was still so vivid.
