Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 57 Unsurprising Sales

Zhu Youxing took a brief look at the general content of the letters from readers, and there were more positive responses. Obviously, this story of Dragon Quest is very attractive to readers.

Negative letters are also full of worries, such as worrying about whether Sansuke Tsuchiya can maintain his status, whether the story will suddenly collapse halfway, and so on.

Not exactly a negative.

In the eyes of Zhu Youxing and Ikeda Daigo, this kind of worry is completely unnecessary.

Because Zhu Yuxing had already given the complete outline of the story to Sansuke Tsuchiya from the very beginning.

As long as Sansuke Tsuchiya doesn't play tricks himself, there will be absolutely no surprises in the first Dragon Quest.

After reading it, Zhu Yuxing and Tsuchiya Sansuke briefly communicated about the storyline, and confirmed that the story is about to reach a climax, and the brave man will enter the first cave to explore the secrets of his life experience.

After the secret of life experience is unfolded, the whole world view will be completely unfolded, and the attractiveness of readers will also increase accordingly.

Just in time to promote the game of the same name at the end of the manga while the life experience is made public, those readers who are scratching their heads about the plot and story may not be able to resist immediately to experience the game.

In this way, the sales of game consoles and games should also increase.

But there is no certainty how much Zhu Youxing can be improved.

After the main thing was finished, the two chatted some more, and then said goodbye to each other after drinking coffee.

Daigo Ikeda still has some important things to do as the editor-in-chief, but Zhu Youxing can relax a little now.

But it will probably be busy tomorrow.

In the past, it was only necessary to guide a team to make a game, but now it is three fronts.

New game console development, long-term development of a game for a year, and development of another short-term game.

Fortunately, the new employees have adapted well, and have begun to gradually get on the right track according to their own guidelines.

In the next week, Zhu Youxing mainly devoted his energy to the game rocket car production team, and occasionally went to the other two teams to cooperate with the work and determine the next development route.

Because the rocket car is a short-term project, it is relatively urgent. After the first training by Zhu Youxing, they can handle it, but occasionally they need Zhu Youxing to help solve problems.

For example, in what way should a certain level be presented most perfectly.

Zhu Youxing, who has experience in various masterpiece games of later generations, can say that this is at his fingertips.

Meanwhile, the first week of sales for the eighth game, Super Baseball, is finally out.

Sales totaled 74,242.

It is equivalent to a daily sales volume starting at 10,000.

The employees in the company were shocked when they learned of this achievement.

How much is the overall sales volume of the red and white machine now? It seems to be only about 110,000, right?

In the first week of Super Baseball, sales directly reached more than 70,000.

The sales figures of other game software are only achieved by Contra and Tetris.

Moreover, it took more than a month for these two games to be achieved.

But Super Baseball only lasted a week.

These employees even forgot to cheer when they heard the news.

It wasn't until Zhu Youxing told them that each of them would be rewarded with two months' salary that they suddenly woke up, and then cheered loudly.

That night they found a karaoke and sang songs all night to celebrate.

It is not surprising that Zhuyouxing can have such sales data.

As a national sport, Japan's enthusiasm for baseball is unimaginable to outsiders.

At its peak, nearly 80% of the people who voted for the most popular sport in the polls voted for baseball.

In the previous life, baseball games were also very popular among Japanese people, but as soon as this game went abroad, it would immediately wither, and sales were sometimes not even a fraction of Japan's.

So from the very beginning, Takeyusei was not worried about the sales data of Super Baseball in Japan.

This kind of pure money-picking behavior can just add ammunition to the company, lay the foundation for the next development of games and game consoles, and at the same time, increase the confidence of employees.

Let them know that their efforts are paying off.

However, the sales data of 70,000 is not the sales of one store, but the overall statistics.

So far, some electronic stores in the Tokyo metropolitan area are willing to order game consoles and games for sale, but they only dare to buy in small quantities at the beginning. They only dare to order two or three hundred game consoles, and only dare to order five for each game There are about ten boxes, and they cannot be selected individually. They must be ordered together with seven games except Mario that comes with the game console.

But what they didn't expect was that this thing was so popular. Just after they announced that they had game consoles for sale here, many people would immediately come over to snap up them.

Especially some popular games, such as Contra and Tetris, are basically sold out as soon as they are put on the shelves.

This made many shops regret it at first.

Regret why I didn't order some consoles and game cartridges earlier in the first place.

However, when they wanted to approach Youxing Electronic Entertainment to make a large-volume purchase, the supply of goods had been distributed to more stores, and there was not much spare capacity, so they could only wait for the subsequent increase in production capacity.

This made these shop owners suddenly feel that they had lost hundreds of millions.

The production of game consoles was fully prepared at the very beginning. At the beginning, an order of one million motherboards was ordered, and the rest was just assembly work. On the contrary, the production of game cassettes could not keep up.

The main reason is that the chip needed for the cassette was not a mainstream product in the industry in the past, and the production company never mass-produced this product.

It wasn't until the birth of the red and white machine that his products were not worried about selling, and the company hadn't realized what was going on.

But now the foundry has begun to prepare to expand the scale of the production line, specializing in the production of game cassettes for Zhuyouxing's company.

Capacity issues should no longer worry about anything.

Except for the two games Contra and Tetris, the sales of other games are also good. The worst one is probably Dragon Quest. Many stores now have at least four to five hundred boxes of backlogs.

The store hopes to stop giving away Dragon Quest, and give away more other popular games, and wants to negotiate.

But Yuxing Entertainment doesn't care at all. Now the game sales are not in charge of your store, but us Yuxing Entertainment.

As for Yuxing Entertainment, it is Zhu Youxing himself who decides. He insisted that multiple games must be purchased together with Dragon Quest, otherwise the sales authorization of your store will be canceled immediately.

Some things can be discussed, but some things cannot be discussed. This is Zhuyou Xing's long-term plan.

It's just because the profits of games are quite high now, each game has a 30% profit margin.

In this situation where the sales are very good and the profit margin is also high, no store is willing to offend Youxing Entertainment too much. Even if it may cause a backlog of game inventory, they can only accept it.

It's just that they still secretly complain about Yuxing Entertainment's overbearing.

The game company that has just been established for more than a month is so domineering, insisting on forcing them to bundle and buy games, but for the sake of money, they can only accept it.

In business talk business, this is actually not a big deal, it's just for profit.

And the time passed quickly and another month passed, and the rocket car was officially launched after some promotion.

The popularity of racing games in Japan is not as good as that of baseball, and the sales volume is naturally incomparable.

The sales volume in the first week was only over 20,000, which calmed down those employees who were excited by the high sales volume of the Super Baseball Game. They realized that the game could not be a big hit, and they had to be careful in making it. A basin of cold water is good for them.

At the same time, the name of the company Yuxing Electronic Entertainment Co., Ltd. was also placed on the desk of the president of a company.

Surui Electronics.

The fields spanning include audio-visual, electronic communication, information technology, film and television industry, semiconductor research and development, etc., and it is a real giant in the electronics field in Japan.

At this moment, the president of Su Rui Electronics Co., Ltd., who controls such a huge enterprise, is looking at a document in front of him with the basic information of Youxing Electronics Entertainment Co., Ltd. printed on the cover.
