Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 213

"Don't talk, just watch the video. This video is very cool. Even if I am an adult, I want to watch such an animation."

The NYU student's roommate is also a basketball fan.

Basketball has a high status among young people in the United States. It is one of the cheapest entertainment, and it does not require too many people. It can be played by one person or two people, and there are not as many restrictions as football and baseball.

The sports field with the most streets and alleys is the basketball court.

And they all became interested when they saw such well-made animations.

The two did not speak any more, but watched the content of the video attentively.

In the video, the animation is still going on, and it is a variety of dazzling means. Of course, the strongest among them is the American basketball player.

The two of them immediately showed a satisfied look, and they thought it was a matter of course.

The animation content of various basketballs lasted about two minutes, and finally a few paragraphs of text appeared.

"Want to experience the magic of basketball?"

"Want to take on basketball players from all over the world?"

"Then please come and try our latest video game: Street Basketball, the latest video game product from Youxing Electronic Entertainment, to bring you the most authentic basketball experience."

"Street basketball will be officially released with the SFC game console on February [-]. Welcome to buy."

The text ends, and then there is a gorgeous-looking GAMESTAR animation special effect.

The two young college students looked at the page that had stopped playing for a short while.

"This... doesn't seem to be an animation?"

"It seems so..." The roommate nodded.

"Video games? I seem to have a little impression, it seems to be a kind of entertainment that has become popular recently."

"Entertainment? What kind of entertainment?"

"It seems that you can use something like a remote control to control the characters. When I went to the department store, I saw a salesperson selling it."

"Manipulate the characters? Is it possible to control these basketball players?"

"Well, that seems to be the case."

That sounds... just awesome!
Can control basketball players, of course, is definitely not as good as playing basketball in reality.

But it would be nice to take it out for entertainment every now and then when you're bored.

"Have you heard of this thing called SFC?"

"No, by the way, isn't it just an introduction when you see this webpage?"

The roommate who saw it saw the SFC introduction option below, so he pointed to the screen and said.

The college student sitting in front of the computer immediately manipulates the mouse and clicks to enter the secondary page.

It introduces the overall performance of the SFC game machine in detail, as well as the explanation of the terms of the game machine.

By explaining, the two have a general understanding of what the game console does.

An electronic product specially used for entertainment. There are endless entertainment content waiting to be discovered. In addition to street basketball, there are also thrilling racing games, bloody fighting games, and even more exciting vampire story games.

In it, no matter what your hobby is, you can find your heart in it.

There is an order now option at the bottom of the page.

You can enter your own address directly in the ordering options.

However, now you can only enter your own address to make a reservation, and temporarily cannot perform operations such as payment.

The price of a game console in SFC is 199 dollars. The game machine comes with a video game called Super Mario. If you want to play games such as street basketball, you need to pay an additional 69.9 dollars to buy the game.

For Americans, a $199 electronic product plus a $69.9 game is actually quite cheap.

For just a few hundred dollars, you can enjoy a period of happiness, which is already a very good deal.

Usually, these American people with excess energy hold PARTYs at every turn, and the cost is not low.

"You wait, I'll get my computer out now, and we'll order together."

The roommate ran to his bed as he spoke, then turned on the computer and prepared to place an order.

The price of this thing is within the acceptable range, so ordering one is totally fine.

However, there are only a few people who are interested in ordering. Most people just look at the bright spot, but they have no idea of ​​buying. They want to experience it for themselves to be sure whether they will buy it or not.

There are many leeks in the United States, but it does not mean that people can cut them casually.

In terms of advertising, Zhu Yuxing previously planned a strategy.

First, look for some targets that seem to be suitable for starting on Facebook, and then ask someone to chat with each other anonymously, and quietly recommend video games to the other party.

Of course, this method of selection is too labor-intensive.

But that's often the best way to go.

In addition to such publicity, Zhuyouxing also sent more targeted user messages directly through Facebook's internal server.

Prompt them to see related video links to see what they like.

For example, if you record yourself as a boxing fan in your profile, then the mass post will automatically push you a Street Fighter promotional video.

If basketball is your thing, like that NYU student, you'll get a promotional video for street basketball.

The same is true for Need for Speed. People who like racing will receive a link to the promotional video of Need for Speed.

Then, looking at statistics like their click-through rate on the web, most of them stay on the page at least until the end of the promotional video.

Among them, half of them will choose to watch other recommended promotional videos in addition, and will also take a look at the detailed game console information.

When the backstage programmers of Youxing Electronic Entertainment saw these statistics, they immediately jumped up with excitement.

They had been worried that the propaganda would not work.

But don't worry anymore.

Their hard work paid off.

Zhu Yuxing, who was not too sure before, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, this place is just a parallel world. He doesn't dare to guarantee 100% whether the routines in his previous life will work. Now that he sees the effect, he is relieved.

This first step into the United States is really coming out.

And the rest is ready to start distribution.

First of all, Matsuhashi has negotiated with many small department store retailers, and they are ready.

Take Yusei, who had already returned to Japan, immediately started urging the factory to make it as quickly as possible.

The US is a huge consumer market.

Its spending power is completely different from that of Japan.

Mainly because people in the United States do have a lot of spare money.

They have been cutting leeks all over the world for many years, and they are rich and oily.
