Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 15 I bought it!
The income of [-] yen a day brought a great impact to the manager.

That's double the income.

It's hard to imagine what kind of magic this thing has.

However, he is quite keen on business and has realized the value of this thing.

He's going to buy this machine!

And the more the better!

Didn't you see the group of children waving the coins in their hands, as if they could put in an unlimited amount?
In the end, because there were too few machines, many of these children left with regrets and did not have the opportunity to play for too long.

If there are enough machines, then the money in the hands of these children will be theirs!

Thinking of this, the store manager had been waiting for Zhu Yuxing's arrival early in the morning.

He believed that Zhu Yuxing would definitely come today.

With the shrewd eyes of the young man when he was talking to him, there was no reason why he didn't know how popular his products were.

Sure enough, Zhu Yuxing really came.

When the clerk informed him, he bounced off his seat almost instantly.

Right now, he couldn't care less about his red eyes.

"Sir, I'm glad you can come again."

This time, the store manager was obviously a lot more polite.

Because this time, it is no longer that the other party is asking for himself, but that he is asking for the other party.

Facing the store manager's expression, Zhu Yuxing was not surprised at all.

"Hello store manager, I'm here to collect the money I put in yesterday."

"Of course, that's all yours, but before that, I have one other thing I want to ask."

"what?"

Zhu Yuxing asked rhetorically.

And his expression has actually proved that Zhu Yuxing has a premonition that the other party will say something.

"I want to ask, what you said the day before yesterday is that if I am interested, I can buy this machine directly. Does it count?"

Zhu Youxing smiled: "Of course, if you are really interested, of course it counts."

"Then... how much is this machine? After a day's consideration, I decided to buy it."

Zhu Yuxing showed a very 'friendly' smile.

Of course, in the eyes of the store manager, this smile is a complete profiteer.

The store manager, who has been struggling for so many years on the road of doing business, immediately understood that the other party was about to start talking.

"One for 20 yen, how many do you need?"

"Two... puff cough cough."

20 million yen.

This is not a small sum.

In current Japan, the price of a computer is at most [-] to [-] yen.

Unless it's one of those higher-end professional computers for businesses.

And now is the period after the economic bubble burst.

The computer, which is indispensable to life, immediately became the fastest depreciating thing.

Now if you buy a normal computer from an individual, it is estimated that you can get a good one for [-] to [-] yen.

And this game console costs 20 yen.

It's almost like stealing money.

The actual cost of this game console is only two thousand yen.

One thousand yen is the cost of the console's circuit board processor.

Five hundred yen is the cost of mass-customized red and white cheap material housings.

The remaining [-] yen is all sorts of included power cords and some other mess.

Of course, this does not include labor costs.

After all, it was something that Takeyusei and Airi Hayazawa had done. If Airi Hayasawa's daily salary cost was included, it would only cost [-] yen at most.

Zhu Yuxing wanted the lion to open his mouth.

In the face of individual users, Zhuyouxing can be sold at a cheaper price.

But if it is this kind of business, Zhuyou Xingkeng doesn't care at all.

"Two... 20 yen is really too much, this machine doesn't look expensive, sir..."

"My name is Zhu Youxing."

"Oh! Zhuyou-kun, can you make it cheaper? Of course, if you have enough machines, I'm willing to buy them in large quantities, at least ten."

Airi Hayasawa, who was on the side, was expressionless.

But when Takeyuho called out 20 yen for one set, and the other party was willing to buy ten sets, Hayazawa Airi couldn't help but twitched.

Zhu Yuxing said leisurely, "Store manager, let me do the math for you. If nothing else happened yesterday, the revenue of this machine should have been around [-] yen?"

"Uh...it should be [-]..."

Zhu Youxing was slightly taken aback.

This was beyond my expectation.

He remembered that the group of children should have been very good at playing this game.

Once you are proficient, it is usually no problem to play one coin for four to five minutes.

"Twenty thousand? Then this is doubled. Boss, think about it. A machine is 20. Even in the worst case, you only need about ten days to earn back the capital with interest. "

In terms of coin-operated income, the store manager has no way to hide it.

Because Zhu Yuxing only needs to check the number of coins in the coin box to be clear.

So the manager can only answer honestly.

And this also happens to be where Zhu Yuxing is most confident.

The store manager has no reason to refuse at all.

Because the income is so explosive.

Of course, a machine cannot earn [-] a day.

But even if the daily income is only [-] yuan, it is bloody profit.

If all ten machines are purchased, the cost will be paid back in 20 days, and no matter how many days are left, it will be pure profit.

Pachinko is indeed also very profitable.

But that's not something for kids to play with.

But this game console can harvest children's pocket money.

It sounds cruel, but what businessmen need to consider is profit.

"So... 20 yuan, the price is not negotiable, because besides putting a machine in your place, I also put it in other places."

When the store manager heard Zhu Yuxing's words, he immediately became nervous.

"I came to you first. If you don't want to buy it at this price, I think there will always be someone willing to buy it in the next dozen or so places."

Zhu Yuxing's smile is getting brighter and brighter, and he looks very friendly.

However, the store manager has become more and more aware of Zhu Yuxing's abacus.

It's... an irresistible reason.

Zhu Youxing looked at the silent appearance of the store manager, and he said again: "Let me tell you this, until now, this game console was made by my partner and I bit by bit. The total number is not much, so the price will be more expensive.”

"If you buy in advance, you can make more money in advance, and when my machine starts mass production, you can definitely buy it at a cheaper price, but by that time, it is estimated that there will be more places with games. machine, more players will be attracted to different places.”

Zhu Yuxing gently stroked the casing of the red and white machine.

"Do you want to earn this rare and expensive money ahead of time? Or do you wait to earn it slowly after mass production?"

"I bought it! Ten units, I can give you cash now."
