Chapter 119 Arcade, Fourth Update
In one week, a total of one hundred boxes of King of Fighters cartridges, plus fifty Sega game consoles, were sold out.
The store manager was very puzzled and didn't understand why Sega's games suddenly became so popular.
But he must be very happy to make money, and Sega has the advantage of unlimited supply.
As long as any store has a demand, you can have as many game consoles or cartridges as you want, and Sega will work hard to make them.
Unlike NGS, in addition to their own production capacity issues, there is also a very traditional hunger marketing strategy.
"Hey, hey, is this Sega? I need a hundred Sega game consoles. Oh, by the way, I also want two hundred more boxes of King of Fighters cassettes. Do you have them?"
"Yes? That's great. Can it be delivered within three days? Okay, okay, I'm waiting for your good news! I'm telling you that the King of Fighters you just launched is very interesting. My people and my customers are all excited after playing it. It’s got rave reviews…”
…
At this moment, at Sega's headquarters, the operator who contacted the video game store had a rare busy day.
Each of them has been on the phone since yesterday, and on average each phone call lasts about half an hour to an hour. During this time, the manager of a certain video game store hopes that Sega's game console will be delivered to them quickly.
Not long after, some video game store owners couldn't help themselves and picked up the phone again to contact Sega, hoping to deliver the games quickly because they no longer had enough supplies on hand.
Originally, there were only two operators sold in the Japanese market. The other operators were for the overseas European, American and Australian markets, especially Europe, which is now Sega's main battlefield.
But today, the number of operators in the Japanese sales area was urgently increased by two to ensure that every call can be answered quickly and no opportunity will be missed.
From Tokyo, to Osaka, to Shikoku Island, there are calls from all regions, everyone wants to ask about Sega's new game console and new cartridges, and they all want to get the goods.
This is very rare.
And this news naturally reached Gao Cunxiong.
The company's analysts were quick to provide answers.
All this is thanks to the game King of Fighters.
Gao Cunxiong was very pleased to see this report.
My choice was indeed the right one.
Did you see that the effect of this King of Fighters is quite strong.
It's a pity that there are a few stores selling Sega game consoles. There are only sporadic sales outlets in some big cities. In remote areas like Shikoku Island, there is only one store selling Sega game consoles in the entire area.
This won't work.
We have to take this opportunity to increase the number of game consoles!
Komura immediately called his subordinate game console and cassette production units and asked them to work overtime to produce game consoles and cassettes.
This is a perfect opportunity, an opportunity to promote your own game console!
At the same time, the arcade version of The King of Fighters is also being intensively produced.
The day the first ten King of Fighters arcade machines from N2K and Sega came off the production line, they were completely packed in wooden boxes, and the shippers filled in the shipping address as required.
Huaxia, Chuanzhou, Qingshan City.
Item name: Electronic entertainment equipment.
Product value: 370,000 yen per unit.
There were twenty units in total, and after more than ten days of traveling at sea, they arrived all the way to China.
As soon as they entered the country, these machines attracted the attention of customs.
Because this kind of product is something they rarely encounter.
"Each entertainment device worth 370,000 yen? And the delivery address is a company name I've never heard of...a real game?"
The employee inspecting the goods in transit frowned at the records on the shipping manifest.
For this employee, this was his first time checking out such an expensive entertainment product.
Mao estimated the value of each of these game consoles at least more than 20,000 yuan. Is this thing made of gold?
In the face of such a sum of money, he didn't dare to neglect it. Usually some overseas products are randomly inspected when they enter the country, but he didn't dare to do random inspections on this thing.
As he checked each one one by one, his curiosity grew even more.
Each machine was about as tall as a person, with a huge screen in the center, which was big enough in his opinion at least.
A screen like this would be great for watching TV.
He thought so.
After all twenty devices were confirmed, he took a look at the address where they were sent to China, and it was sent to a university near Qingshan City, Sichuan Province.
He silently remembered this information in his heart and planned to go there when he had a long vacation.
An entertainment game console sounds like a relaxing thing.
But speaking of it, he seemed to have vaguely seen relevant reports in the newspapers. It seemed that there were game consoles at the Workers' Stadium in the Magic City.
Anyway, repack it now and ship it away.
Generally, you need to pay customs duties when entering customs, but the Japanese company that mailed them has paid all the money in advance, so the game consoles were loaded on the train that day, and the two trucks headed for Sichuan Province that night.
By the time these things came into Zuo Zhen's hands, it was already July.
That day Zuozhen was continuing to remake the game with the team.
The remake of Squirrel Wars has been completed, and we are now working on an enhanced version of Mega Man.
Everyone who was busy in the rental house heard a knock on the door.
"Hey, hey, are the boys inside here? Two big trucks are here, and they say they are looking for you to unload!"
"Unloading? Boss, it was the people from the street office who said that we have some cargo to unload, or two large trucks."
A student who happened to be at the door was very puzzled and shouted twice into the back room.
"I'm coming!"
Zuo Zhen perked up.
finally come.
According to the agreed time, the first batch of arcade machines from my side were almost delivered to my hands.
Zuo Zhen ran to the door quickly.
As soon as I opened the door, a lady wearing community sleeves was standing at the door.
When the eldest sister saw Zuo Zhen open the door, she stretched her neck and looked into the room. Zuo Zhen naturally would not let the eldest sister look at it casually and said directly: "Sister, you said there is goods?"
"Yes, there are two big cars. What are you doing, moving?"
The community lady was very curious as to what these young people were doing in a rental house on the top floor.
In the past, they occasionally saw these young people tinkering with high-tech things. They wanted to ask, but they couldn't find anything. Except for Zuo Zhen, they all looked mysterious, as if they were some kind of ultimate. Confidential as well.
Their street has long been curious about these young people.
They even doubted whether these young people were doing something illegal or disciplinary.
But after inquiring that they were all students from Kyungsan University next door, they once again gave up their doubts.
Today's college students are still national pillars in the eyes of these old people. They even want to curry favor with them, and their doubts about Zuo Zhen and the others naturally disappear.
"Sister, please wait a moment, thank Qin! Zhao Feiyang! There are several other male classmates coming with me to unload the goods!"
"okay!"
