Chapter 1059: The Advent of the Steam Age (Add. 11/17)
Although Boss Jia came to the stage, he didn't explain much, but slowly let these dealers look at the plan, and waited for more than an hour or so, basically all the dealers put down the plan in their hands, their eyes were full of excitement, but also a trace of hesitation.
According to the above proposal, Daqian will become a separate company called Steam Computer Business Group, a platform called Steam Game Store.
The ultimate goal of this Steam Game Store platform is to form a franchise store with more than 50,000 stores around the world, and eventually to make it possible to find a store called Steam Game Platform in all cities around the world.
Some of these stores are directly operated by Daqian, but there are obviously only a small number of these stores, and most of the stores are formed by joining them.
And these franchised people, obviously are the dealers here, all the franchised dealers must be decorated in accordance with the development of the decoration drawings, to create a unified style and recognition.
At the same time, the pricing of all goods is determined by Daqian, and all sales strategies and discount strategies are also determined by Daqian. Different franchisees can apply for sales policies, but they must be approved by Daqian headquarters.
In addition, all power supplies must also go through Daqian's unified training, etc., anyway, these franchisees basically have to follow Daqian's rules, as for the dealers, they only need to lie down to make money.
All offline game sales will be sold in the Steam game store, and other stores are not allowed to sell them to ensure the sales channels of these stores.
At the same time, not only Daqian games and thousands of consoles, but also the Steam game platform has ambitious plans to include all the world's game consoles and games, even Nintendo's game consoles and games, as well as all PC games, for sale.
I have to admit that seeing such a grand business plan, dealers can see the ambition of Daqian, and can also see the huge profits brought by this plan once it is successful, but it also contains unlimited risks.
"Mr. Jia, how do you guarantee that all games will be added to the Steam game platform for sale in the future?" When it was time to ask questions freely, a dealer asked directly.
"This is inevitable after the scale of the industry comes up!" Boss Jia smiled, "As long as we can have 50,000 steam game stores around the world as planned, then we will be able to monopolize the global game sales market." If any gaming company dares not to join us, they will lose more than 70% of the world's customers and players! ”
"Don't worry, as long as our posture is pulled up, all game manufacturers will kneel on the ground and pray to join our steam game store, no one will resist us!"
"Then it's going to be when we really get up!" Another dealer stood up and said, "Mr. Jia, do you think this is a high risk?" ”
"Not high! Not high at all! Boss Jia smiled slightly, "The world's best PC game is our Daqian, and the world's best handheld game is also our Daqian, and our Daqian game accounted for more than 30% of all game sales in the world last year!" ”
"As long as Daqian Games is only sold in these steam game stores, then I don't have to worry about no customers, as long as I have customers, other game manufacturers will never refuse me!"
"By the way, I'll show you something!" Boss Jia snapped his fingers, and hundreds of photos of contracts were projected on the screen behind him, and these dealers took a few looks, and instantly covered their mouths, because the companies of Party B written on these contracts are one of the most famous game companies in the world!
"These are game companies that have signed a development agreement with our Qianjibian platform, and their games can only be sold in the Steam Game Store, do you still think that our Steam Game Store will not be able to get up?"
Boss Jia's words are actually very boring, although there are indeed hundreds of game companies that have signed contracts, but this contract is actually just a contract for the purchase of development tools and prototypes, that is, the $1000 contract, and these contracts do not stipulate that Daqian must develop games at all.
But these dealers don't know, they just think that there are already hundreds of third-party game developers, and all of them are world-renowned game development companies, which is simply invincible.
This Steam game store can be done!
"May I ask Mr. Jia, if we join the Steam game store, how can we get our profits?" Someone else stood up and asked.
"All games and game consoles have a uniform price, and Daqian will guarantee your profits!" Boss Jia's answer was concise and easy to understand.
"Will there be a difference in the price in different regions?" Someone else asked.
"There will be a certain gap, but the gap will not be too big!" Boss Jia said.
"How can we be sure that there will be no competition between us?"
"I will divide the area according to the population, so that each steam game store can independently cover the range of 100,000 people, so as to ensure your customer base!"
"So how do you avoid the problem of cross-selling?"
"We will burn a hidden code for the game cartridges sent to different regions, and once the phenomenon of cross-selling is discovered, we can use the code to obtain evidence, and then impose heavy penalties!"
"Excuse me, is it up to our dealers to decide the type of purchase in terms of specific purchases?" Another dealer asked a very critical question.
"Half against half!" Boss Jia squinted his eyes and said, "Daqian will give you a basic list, and the games and numbers on the basic list are what you must buy and sell." In addition, if you are willing to enter more games that you are optimistic about, Daqian will not object. ”
"What!" Hearing that there is actually a basic list, the conference room exploded in an instant, in case there are some games in this basic list that can't be sold, then wouldn't they explode in an instant!
"Rest assured, the goods in the basic list can be returned to the head office unconditionally after half a year of sale, and the head office will refund your purchase cost in full, so if there are goods in the basic list that cannot be sold, don't worry about the backlog cost!"
Hearing Boss Jia's answer, everyone had ecstatic expressions on their faces. In this way, if they only need to purchase according to the basic list, wouldn't there be no loss in other costs except for rent, water, electricity and labor costs!!
With this condition, the enthusiasm of the dealers has been greatly stimulated, and finally more than 300 dealers who came to the scene, about half of them have signed a franchise agreement with Daqian.
One of the largest of them directly occupies the entire French market, guaranteeing to open more than 100 steam game stores in France within a year, and more than 500 within three years.
And as a price, Daqian can no longer give any other dealers in France the right to join.
However, Daqian refused, after all, there are several French dealers on the scene, and in addition, if you really hand over a domestic distribution right, it is not a good thing for Daqian.
In the end, 156 distributors signed franchise agreements to open 1,682 Steam game stores within a year.
Players, tremble, the age of steam has arrived early!
