Chapter 278 A great success

Thomas, who had a hot temper, saw that Square had betrayed their agreed offensive and defensive alliance, pointed at him and yelled: "You treacherous Idaho bug!"

Square yelled back: "You stupid fat pig from Texas!"

Bai Zirui smoothed things over and said: "Okay... everyone! Mr. Square has taken the lead in making the wisest choice. President Zhongshan of Sega Company talked to me about the exclusive agency of our company's two games in the United States. He offered

The conditions are more favorable than those offered by everyone here.

Compared to Sega, I hope to cooperate with you because I believe we have more common interests! So I hope you will consider it carefully and make the right choice like Mr. Square!"

Bai Zirui never thought about cooperating with Atari and Sega, because these two companies will be Dingtian Game Company's two major competitors in the US market. The birth of a new strong player is destined to step on the corpses of other competitors.

Upper position.

If Dingtian Game Company wants to enter the US arcade market, it will definitely take away part of the market share that originally belonged to Atari and Sega. Bai Zirui asked Deans to cooperate in the production of arcade motherboards in order not to alert others.

The appearance of Dingtian Game Company at the Western Electronics Show in San Francisco has attracted the attention of Atari and Sega. David Rosen, an old fox, encouraged several major agents in the United States to join forces to implement measures against Dingtian Technology Company.

He then asked Nakayama Hayao to come to negotiate and offer generous agency conditions to Dingtian Technology Company, hoping to win the agency rights for two arcade games in the United States in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that David Rosen's arrangement is not perfect. Atari and Sega have established complete distribution channels in the US market. They can completely kick out first-level distributors such as Square and directly deal with the second-level distributors below.

Liaise with the dealer, so there is no need for one more person to come in and dilute the profits.

There are irreconcilable conflicts of interest among arcade agents such as Atari, Sega and Square. Bai Zirui told Sega that Sega was preparing to compete for agency rights, and Square immediately gave in, allowing Bai Zirui to speed up the negotiation process.

.

Hearing that Sega was also preparing to participate in the competition for the agency rights of the two games, several other agents immediately couldn't sit still. No one was an idiot, and they immediately understood what David Rosen was planning. At the same time, he encouraged them to join forces with Ding.

Tian Games put pressure, but the other side secretly fought for the agency rights. David Rosen's actions made them very angry.

Other agents quickly signed an agreement with Bai Zirui. The ex-factory price of the complete arcade machines exported by Dingtian Games to the US market is US$2,800 per unit for "Tank War" and US$2,500 per unit for Great Wall Cube.

, the game copy costs US$1,500 per copy, and the ex-factory price of the Great Wall Cube handheld console is US$25 per unit.

The reason why the ex-factory price of the Great Wall Cube arcade machine is lower than that of "Tank Wars" is not to say that the Great Wall Cube game is not good. It is because the Great Wall Cube game has a slow pace and the speed of earning coins is much faster than that of "Tank Wars", which has a two-player mode.

The slower the speed, the less profit will be created for the arcade owner, and the price will naturally be lower.

Square Enix and Thomas both have arcade assembly factories. They signed a complete machine purchase agreement with Bai Zirui, but they plan to purchase game copies and assemble the arcade machines themselves.

The selling price of Dingtian Game Company's game copies in the United States is much higher than the purchase price of the Japanese SNK Game Company. Square and Thomas purchase the game copies, plus the machine frame, display screen, chips and high labor costs in the United States, etc., before leaving the factory.

The cost is no cheaper than buying a complete arcade machine directly from Dingtian Game Company.

Dingtian Game Company's arcade machine production plant is limited in scale, and the factory's monthly output of arcade machines is around 5,000 units. Although the arcade machine factory has begun to recruit people on a large scale again, the increase in production capacity will have to be after the year.

After Bai Zirui signed an agreement with Square, he signed agreements with other agents for a total of more than 50,000 arcade machines. This also shows the excellence of the two arcade games Great Wall Cube and "Tank Battle" from another aspect.

These arcade agents and distributors handle anywhere from dozens to hundreds of arcade games every year, and each one of them has developed a keen eye.

They are optimistic about the hot prospects of Dingtian Game Company's two arcade games, so they dare to place a large order. You must know that an arcade game is considered very good if its sales exceed 10,000 units, and it is considered a classic if its sales exceed 50,000 units.

Popular games. The first batch of orders for two arcade games, "Tank Battle" and "Great Wall Cube", reached 30,000 units and 20,000 units respectively.

These two arcade games have not yet been tested in the U.S. market, and agents have already made their judgments. Once the first batch of arcade games are launched and trigger a craze among players, subsequent orders will come to Dingtian Game Company like snowflakes.

The Western Electronics Show in San Francisco ended two days later, and Bai Zirui got on a flight to Canada. Dingtian Game Company's first battle to enter the US market went perfectly.

By the time the Western Electronics Show in San Francisco closed, Dingtian Games had signed orders for 47,000 arcade machines of "Tank Wars", 33,000 arcade orders for Great Wall Cubes, 20,000 game copies of "Tank Wars", and one

Fifteen thousand copies of the Great Wall Cube game, and 30,000 Great Wall Cube handheld consoles.

The game data of Great Wall Cube is much simpler than that of "Tank War", so the memory chips used on the game motherboard are much less. The quotation given to Bai Zirui by Deans Company is that Great Wall Cube is 200 US dollars per piece, and "Tank War" is

350 US dollars. Including other raw material expenses and labor costs, the complete cost of the Great Wall Cube arcade machine is about 500 US dollars, and the total cost of the "Tank War" arcade machine is about 800 US dollars.

Bai Zirui signed an order for arcade machines and handheld consoles at the Western Electronics Show in San Francisco, and Dingtian Games was able to make a profit of US$180 million, which is equivalent to HK$900 million in Hong Kong dollars. It took him four months

He became a billionaire.

On the plane flying to Canada, Bai Zirui used a calculator to calculate the profit of the U.S. order. He really didn't know how to describe his mood in words. How should he spend so much money? Like the prostitutes of later generations, buy two Apple computers.

, smash one with one?

Bai Zirui doesn't know if he is the youngest billionaire since the opening of Hong Kong as a port, but he is definitely the billionaire who makes money the fastest. In just four months, he has completed what other Hong Kong rich people have to work hard for half a lifetime.

accumulation.

The game industry is definitely a profit-making industry. Later Chen Tianqiao once easily became the richest man in China by representing "Legend". Bai Zirui easily became a billionaire by relying on the two games "Tank Battle" and Great Wall Cube. With these two games

The popularity of the classic game and the subsequent influx of orders were enough to quickly make him a billion Hong Kong dollar super rich man in Hong Kong.

Success came too easily, leaving Bai Zirui without much excitement and surprise that should come after success. By the time the plane landed at the Jean Lesage International Airport in Quebec, Canada, his mood had calmed down.
