Seeing that March is still a few days away, the seeds planted by Yin Jun before are now almost the harvest season for flowering and fruiting.

Wang Bo of Baodao, after the first batch of 1,000 "Xiangjiang Cube" arcade machines, has placed additional orders for three consecutive weeks, and has now delivered 12,000 units, with 3,000 units left, still working overtime in the factory to assemble.

The people of Baodao are much more innocent and lovely than the people of Xiangjiang.

Although there are still profiteers and bad guys, the general folk customs are absolutely simple and simple.

Innocent people naturally like simple games, especially when they have money now and can do more entertainment.

The future treasure island can be regarded as the tourism capital of Asia, and there are many books dedicated to introducing the treasure island tourism strategy in Japan. …… Ahem, although most of it is some xx fun.

In such an environment, "Xiangjiang Cube" has entered the market of Treasure Island.

From the very beginning, "Xiangjiang Cube" was unexpectedly popular.

He arranged 1,000 arcade machines in Ximen Town and other prosperous areas, and as a result, 33 armed fights were triggered on the same day, seriously injuring 19 people.

The 50 game halls where the fighting was serious were also ordered to close.

If it weren't for Wang Bo's strong relationship, all the game halls would have been closed for rectification.

The people of Quanbao Island know that there is such an arcade game that makes people obsessed with fighting.

What's so powerful?

I'm going to come and see and play!

As a result, more people came to play in an endless stream, and the reputation of "Xiangjiang Cube" continued to spread.

Seeing that because of the unequal supply and demand, there were signs of trouble, Wang Bo had to urgently order another 3,000 arcade machines on the third day, and added a 10% rush fee, requiring that 1,000 units must be sent out within three days.

Kylin Games is much more prepared.

Yin Jun had long expected the popularity of "Xiangjiang Cube" on Treasure Island, and told them the plan and preparation in advance, so Nakata Zhigang stayed in Japan and did not come back.

When Wang Bo placed an order, more than 2,000 machine shells had been assembled, and the electrical lines were connected.

After receiving the order, Nakata immediately started to power off the order, and after producing 500 sheets, he sent them back to Xiangjiang with DHL and began to assemble.

Three days later, the expedited 1,000 "Xiangjiang Cubes" arrived on Treasure Island, with such speed and efficiency that Wang Bo almost didn't lose his eyes.

But this also solved his urgent need, and after quickly arranging 1,000 "Xiangjiang Cubes" in all corners of Moskawa, he finally stabilized those restless young people.

But Wang Bo never expected that his order of 3,000 units, only 2,000 units were originally prepared for Moss Bei, plus the previous 1,000 units, there were 3,000 units, which should be about the same.

However, with the long-lasting demand in Mossibei, after all 3,000 units were sold, there were still more than 2,000 orders in hand.

At the beginning, in order to open up sales, Wang Bo adopted the strategy of using a month first and then paying, and the price was not high, only 1,400 US dollars, which was 600 US dollars cheaper than the arcade machines sold in Japan.

But now that supply and demand have completely reversed, he has sold a machine for $1,500, but it still hasn't resisted people's enthusiasm.

Originally, his subordinates persuaded him to take advantage of the current good market to simply sell a unit for $2,000 just like the Japanese side.

Wang Bo didn't agree, he remembered what Yin Jun told him, there will be games coming out one after another in the future, and for the sake of long-term business in the future, he can't slaughter these game hall owners as pigs at one time.

His low-price policy immediately took effect, and the game hall owners in the central and southern parts of the country came to him to buy arcade machines, so there were several batches of super large orders totaling 16,000 units.

The overall influence of Baodao, in the field of consumption, has a population of more than 30 million and is five or six times that of Xiangjiang, which is naturally more valuable for reference.

In this way, the fame of "Xiangjiang Cube" has been completely beaten.

Before China has grown up completely and its consumption power has not been fully released, Japan has only two most important markets in Asia.

The first is Treasure Island.

The second is Thailand.

The fate of Treasure Island and Japan does not need to be repeated by Yin Jun here, but what can be known is that even in 2020, the largest importer of Treasure Island is still Japan.

Whether it is automobiles, industrial equipment, household appliances, food, clothing and housing, etc., they all like to use Japanese books.

On the one hand, of course, the Japanese goods are cheap and of good quality, and on the other hand, it is because of the relationship between each other.

This is even more true now.

No matter what kind of products are sold overseas, then Baodao, with a population of more than 30 million, will definitely be one of the most important dumping places.

The arcade video game industry is now only an insignificant part of Japan, but Nintendo, Sega and other companies in Japan have made a lot of money on Treasure Island, and the market is basically occupied by them.

Now such a "Xiangjiang Cube" suddenly appeared on Baodao, and more than 10,000 machines were quickly paved, which was enough to attract their attention.

Japan's arcade games, usually on Treasure Island, have more than 5,000 units, and the maximum number of Little Bees is no more than 12,000.

Now that "Xiangjiang Cube" is advancing by leaps and bounds, seeing that there is an amazing hope of breaking the record of 20,000 units, the major manufacturers of Japan and Japan are naturally a little unable to sit still.

In particular, after a series of research work such as investigations, trial games, evaluations, interviews, etc., their staff stationed in Treasure Island put the investigation report on their desks, and they paid more attention to it.

Needless to say, Nintendo, Pu Yamauchi and Yin Jun have a bad relationship, and they are losing ground in the arcade market, so it is naturally impossible to take any countermeasures.

But the rest of the companies such as Sega, Namco, and Konami did not have any scruples, and after urgently convening a meeting to discuss, they immediately sent people to Xiangjiang to discuss the patent licensing or buyout of the game with Kirin Games.

A few days ago, Tomoyo Nakata accompanied them to talk, but there has been no progress.

The company has a very good habit.

That is, whether at home or abroad, they have no habit of infighting, especially abroad, they are absolutely unanimous with the outside world, and they have never lowered each other's prices, and finally cheapened others.

Yin Jun was very envious of this in his previous life, and the same is true in this life.

Sega, Namco, and Konami, although all three of them sent people, these three came in groups.

They want to use a buyout price of up to $50 million to buy the exclusive copyright of "Xiangjiang Cube" in addition to Xiangjiang and Treasure Island.

Even if Nakata Tomoyoshi is not successful in business, it is impossible to agree to such outrageous conditions.

At present, Kylin Games has released more than 16,000 "Xiangjiang Cube" arcade machines in Xiangjiang and Baodao, with an average pre-tax profit of $800 per unit, which is $13 million.

How big is the market in Xiangjiang and Baodao?

There are 150 million people in a single day, and the consumption power and game culture far exceed that of Xiangjiang Treasure Island, and Japan alone can recover most of the buyout price of 50 million US dollars.

Not to mention other markets in Asia, such as South Korea and Thailand.

The most important thing is the European and American markets.

With a population of more than 1 billion people and a higher spending power than Japan and South Korea, it is conservatively estimated that it can sell 300,000 units - how much profit is this?

Don't think Nakata is imagining.

The year before last, "Little Bee", last year's "Pac-Man", the global sales of 600,000 units and 800,000 units respectively in a year, "Little Bee" has exceeded more than 1 million units in two years.

Nakata Tomogang doesn't have much innovation, but after so many years in this industry, he still has eyesight.

"Xiangjiang Cube" is not bad at all compared to the above two games, and if it is not for the price of more than 200 million US dollars, it cannot be sold for copyright at all.

So the two sides were at a stalemate until Yin Jun was free.

The leader of the negotiation team was Sega's general affairs officer, Satoru Okubo, who was in his 40s, not tall, and meticulous in his hair, dress, and grooming, and had the demeanor of a business person.

In the office of Kylin Games, Yin Jun sat opposite him.

Okubo Satoru spoke very politely, perhaps because he often traveled to the United States, and his English was not bad, "Mr. Yin, I have admired you for a long time. I thought the game you were going to make would be Tomb Raider or Resident Evil. ”

"Both games require very high hardware requirements, and there is a waiting time, which I talked to the president of your company last time. Yin Jun said, "Don't worry, if I want to develop, I will definitely choose to cooperate with you at that time." I personally admire Sega's achievements and accumulations in arcade games. ”

Okubo Satoru smiled slightly, and said with a polite half-bow: "I hope there will be a day of cooperation." ”

"This time, you came to talk about "Xiangjiang Cube", I heard that everyone couldn't talk about the details?" Yin Jun then asked.

"Yes, mainly in terms of the way of cooperation and the price. Satoru Okubo said, "We tend to buy out all at once, but Mr. Nakata tends to sell the electric version, and the price is a little too high. You also know that while a game is popular in one city or country, it can be unpopular in another.

$50 million to Kylin Games, you don't have to do anything, this is actually the safest way to make money. With this money, I believe that your company will definitely be able to continue to develop better game projects. And then if we succeed in implementing "Xiangjiang Cube", wouldn't it just add capital to Kylin Games for a second game negotiation?"

What Satoru Okubo said at this moment had not been said to Nakata Tomoyo before, because he knew that in fact, Nakata Tomoyo did not have the right to decide, but was just a middle message.

Now that he has met someone who can call the shots, Satoru Okubo is no longer hidden.

After a pause, seeing that Yin Jun didn't mean to speak, he said again: "In this way, if Mr. Yin feels that it is not enough, we are willing to increase the buyout price by another 20 million US dollars, a total of 70 million US dollars." You can ask other companies, there is no other company that can give such a price. ”

In fact, the final reserve price of the three companies is $100 million, but when negotiating, how can they all tell the truth?

Although I am very humble, they are cunning and cunning in business.

Yin Jun didn't say much when he heard this, and raised his hand: "I don't agree with this condition." Since Mr. Okubo, you've come here to talk about it, so I'll get straight to the point. I expect more than 1 million arcade sales of Hong Kong Cube worldwide, and more than 10 million sales for home consoles.

I read your offer, 5000...... Let's just call the current $70 million, what you are asking for is all the copyrights of "Xiangjiang Cube", but what we are talking about is the price of the arcade. Am I understandable that you want to deceive us and get the game rights for home consoles for nothing?"

Satoru Okubo, who was demolished, still had a smile on his face, "It's our negligence." However, if you are willing to sell the rights to the game version of your home console, we can still talk about it. ”

"$200 million. ”

Yin Jun raised two fingers, "200 million US dollars, the 5-year copyright of the global "Xiangjiang Cube" belongs to you." If you add the home console version, it's 300 million. ”

"Mr. Yin, we are very senior manufacturers of games, and even we are not so sure, why do you think that "Xiangjiang Cube" will sell well?" Okubo Satoru asked "sincerely", "200 million US dollars and 70 million US dollars, the risks taken by the two are definitely not the same level!"

"Because I'm Yin Jun. The boy pointed to himself, "I have never misjudged the market, I said that it will be successful, and it will be successful! If nothing else, do you think that with my fame in Japan and Korea, fans will not buy it?"

Satoru Okubo was speechless for a while.

But he didn't have any words to refute it.

In Japan and China, there are not one or two brain-dead fans who worship Yin Jun, they are simply thousands, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are tens of millions.

A copy of "Kirin Weekly"

Fight all over the world invincible!

"You can buy out if you don't want to. Yin Jun said, "I'll sell you the game version." $600 a piece, as much as you want, so you don't have to worry about taking any risks at all. ”

Satoru Okubo: "......"

He said in his heart that I was an idiot to ask you to buy the electric version like this, and it is more expensive than 200 million US dollars to buy it like this!

A game like "Xiangjiang Cube", in their discussions, can earn at least 500 million US dollars.

Only gave 100 million US dollars to Yin Jun, showing their shrewdness and picking.

But Yin Jun's attitude is so resolute, which makes it a little difficult for him.

"Also, you can make a decision quickly. Yin Jun said, "The people of Arida will arrive soon, and if they bid high, I won't wait for you." ”

Arida!?

Okubo Satoru's face suddenly became very solemn.
