"Chairman, we must drive Daqian Game out. They have deceived us into more than $1 billion in subsidies one after another!" In the conference room, many executives shouted angrily.

When Daqian Games joined the Box Game Store's performance data was released, this was basically the case with Microsoft.

Snatch. Anyone who sees his former biggest opponent actually takes away more than $1 billion in subsidies from his hands one after another will be extremely angry.

Well, in fact, this cannot be blamed on Daqian Game. If you want to blame, you can only blame the players who keep making wool. That is the opportunity to see the rare Daqian Games in history that the entire range of products is 20% off, especially the newly released Pokémon new product, which is also 20% off. Of course, it will be crazy!

Moreover, Daqian Games has a full inventory of stocks. This time, it sold 30 million copies to the public in one go, and there was no problem of being out of stock. Poor Box Games Store did not react to anything, so it directly subsidized Daqian Games by 1 billion US dollars.

Who can I ask for reason?

"Mr. Iwata, what do you think?" Bill Gates asked, rubbing his temples tiredly.

Now the president of Box Games is still Iwada Satoshi, and he has to make the decision!

"I agree with my colleagues' suggestions. Daqian is the opponent we must eliminate. We not only need to eliminate the Steam Game Store channel, but the most important thing is to completely eliminate the entire Daqian game!" Iwada Satoshi said fiercely. "Now the Steam Game Store is almost dead. If we cut off all the sales channels of Daqian game, then Daqian game will lose its sales route and end up dead!"

"Actually, I didn't agree with the resolution to let Daqian join the box game store before, but it's not too late to make up for the loss now!" Iwada Satoshi said fiercely.

In fact, Bill Gates guessed this attitude towards Iwata Satoshi. In fact, Bill Gates also understood this truth. It was just that because Microsoft's stock price was unstable, the news that Daqian had to admit defeat was announced to stabilize the stock price, so that Bill Gates' foundation could secretly sell more dollars.

Now Bill Gates has sold 10% of Microsoft shares, and the overall situation has completely stabilized. The box game store no longer needs the good news of Daqian Games.

So, the decision to drive away Daqian Games was quickly determined, but this was not the most important purpose of this meeting. The most important purpose was to review the complete financial report of the Box Games Store for the first month.

Originally, this kind of review did not require Bill Gates and Iwada Satoshi to bring a vote of senior executives to the meeting, but in this report, Iwada Satoshi discovered a big problem that he could not handle alone, so he could only ask Bill Gates to make a decision together.

"What, the actual sales of all the games in our store in the first month of this year were only 90 million copies. How is this possible? All the franchise stores are in full swing. According to our estimates, the cumulative sales of the whole month are at least 300 million!!" Seeing the specific sales data submitted by Satoshi Iwata, Bill Gates' expression changed drastically. This data is seriously inconsistent with the data estimated by his people. Could it be that Nintendo ate its own money when he was operating?

Seeing Bill Gates's ferocious expression, Iwada Satoshi immediately said, "All the company's accounts are clearly checkable, and we have absolutely no tampering!"

"Then why are the actual data so much different?" Bill Gates asked.

"Because these franchisees did not sell our game CDs!" Iwada Satoshi said with a wry smile.

"What does this mean?" Bill Gates was stunned, and then Iwada Satoshi began to explain in detail. Bill Gates finally understood the ins and outs of it.

In fact, the key is to the rapid expansion of the box game store. Previously, merchants in the Steam Game Store forcibly interrupted their contracts with the Steam Game Store, which led to Steam Game Store not recycling their inventory. A large number of franchisees have squeezed at least 10,000 stocks of various games in their hands.

Then, in order to win over these franchisees, the box game store bit the bullet and borrowed money to these franchisees to help them pay back the debt.

But Bill Gates ignored one thing, that is, although the accounts were settled with the Steam Game Store, the inventory was still poured into the hands of various franchisees.

These game CDs are all genuine in stock, and they are all exchanged for real money. How could these franchisees be left in the warehouse and ignored them?

So after joining the Box Game Store, these franchisees immediately put the inventory of those steam game stores on the shelves, and then directly sold them to players according to the discounts of the Box Game Store.

Although I can't enjoy the discounts in the box game store like this, I've finally gotten a lot of blood.

Not to mention, under the temptation of discounts, almost all the game inventory in the hands of these franchisees, except for those games that are really unsold, have been sold out, and these franchisees have successfully recovered.

But the problem is that these sold inventory actually have no dime relationship with the box game store, and they will not record the sales data of the box game store. This has led to a month when the sales data of the box game store were extremely ugly, as if there was no discount.

What's even more annoying is that some franchisees even secretly count the inventory of these steam game stores into the discounts of the box game store, and then report subsidies to the box game store.

Because the box game has just been established, I don’t know much about the industry, I don’t understand the tricks in it, nor do I understand the various tricks of the merchants, but I didn’t find it at all, so I directly sent the subsidies.

This is equivalent to Microsoft's subsidy, and then helps the steam game store sell the product, which makes Bill Gates very disgusting.

Anyway, the final statistics show that in nearly two months, the Box Game Store not only did not make money, but also lost nearly $4 billion... This is not the loans borrowed to those franchisees, it is simply the US dollar lost by various operating costs and subsidies.

And now, there is a very important question that is defeated by Bill Gates, and that is how to deal with these franchisees.

Because almost all franchisees do this, Bill Gates can't even punish him severely, otherwise the entire franchise system will collapse.

Only a single tap.
