I became the richest man in the world after losing my life in a vegetative state.

In Yang Ming’s view, Red Bull has many potential consumers.

Coach driver.

Students preparing for exams.

Nightlife crowds, such as discos, nightclubs, bars and clubs.

In addition, there are also hardworking people, such as business owners who work overtime day and night, etc.

Red Bull can help you wake up late at night.

However, Yang Ming also knew that Xiangjiang's current population of more than four million was not large, which meant that the consumer market was limited.

Except for Xiangjiang.

There are so many global markets now.

Like Southeast Asia, Europe, America, etc.

In Yang Ming's view, the market is very huge. As long as marketing is done well, it will definitely become the most popular functional drink in the world in the future.

"Chen Zhenhua, what do you think after drinking it?"

"Boss, this tastes a bit strange. However, it does feel different after drinking it."

"Compared to Coke?"

Compared to Coke?

There is really no comparison, after all, they are not the same type of drink.

Many consumers may be accustomed to drinking Coke and may not necessarily buy Red Bull.

"Boss, to be honest, if the price is the same, I still prefer to drink Coke."

Chen Zhenhua said truthfully.

Yang Ming nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

When Yang Ming, Azhu, Zhong Chuhong and others left here.

Looking at the lively and prosperous Xiangjiang streets of the late 1970s, it was easy for Yang Ming to integrate into it.

Pass through the long Graham Street.

Yang Ming came to an intersection.

At the corner, I saw many people gathered around.

There are adults and children.

At first, Chen Zhenhua and others were worried about the safety of their boss Yang Ming, so they immediately protected Yang Ming with other bodyguards.

"Don't worry. Azhu, push me to take a closer look."

Ah Zhu pushed Yang Ming there.

He finally saw clearly.

This turned out to be a game console.

Outside this arcade bar, so many people were gathered around, watching a teenage boy playing an arcade machine.

This arcade game console is the most popular "Space Invaders" in the world.

Space Invaders was officially released on April Fool's Day.

After that, we began to gradually distribute this game console to major merchants according to the order of orders.

The launch price of this game console is not cheap.

It costs US$6500 to get it from Empire Games, and 35750 Hong Kong dollars when converted into Hong Kong dollars. If you get it from other agents, the price may soar to 38000 or even 40000 Hong Kong dollars.

In 1978, a game console cost nearly HKD to , which was considered a very expensive luxury toy.

That's why.

From the launch on April 15st to June now, in two months, the global order volume has exceeded units.

Revenue from these 15 units has reached US$10 billion.

It is precisely because it is so expensive that families who are not middle-income class or businessmen in Xiangjiang really cannot afford it.

Now there is one outside the door, which should be used by this businessman to make money.

Ordinary families in Xiangjiang don’t eat or drink, and they don’t know how long it will take to buy one.

Many children and even adults like this game very much. They spent their own money in exchange for game currency, which means that children from ordinary families also have the opportunity to actually play this game.

Historically, when this game was launched in Japan, Taito Co., Ltd. and Taito's agents began to open game arcades in major cities in Japan.

One of these machines can earn you 10000 yen a day.

Calculated according to the exchange rate, 10000 yen is about 50 US dollars, which is nearly 275 Hong Kong dollars when converted into Hong Kong dollars.

If a machine operates 275 hours a day, it can make a profit of HK$.

This is very normal in the Japanese market.

In Xiangjiang, it may be more expensive according to the business owner's own pricing.

Yang Ming didn't squeeze in and was still watching from outside.

He found a fourteen-year-old boy who stuffed game coins into the arcade machine. He probably only played for about five minutes before it stopped.

Normally, players would play through level after level.

Now by limiting the time to play, the merchant boss doesn't care whether you pass the level or not.

"Azhu, push me in."

Yang Ming was pushed by Ah Zhu to the game console room at the corner. Yang Ming discovered that in addition to the arcade machine at the door, when he went inside, there were actually two more.

After all, that's three arcade machines in total.

Even with the two consoles inside, many people were crammed into the small space of the game console room.

At the front desk, a young man with yellow hair was exchanging game coins for those people.

"Go and ask his boss if he is here?"

When Chen Zhenhua passed by, those who were waiting in line thought that Chen Zhenhua wanted to jump in line to redeem game currency, when someone started to get angry.

Seeing Chen Zhenhua's appearance, he didn't dare to curse.

"Is your boss here?"

"What are you doing with my boss?"

At this time, the economy of Xiangjiang was very good, but for some ordinary businessmen, the business environment was not so good. Various social groups often came to cause damage or even collect money.

Looking at Chen Zhenhua and others, I thought he was also one of those people.

"My boss just wanted to ask him something."

"My boss isn't here."

The young man with yellow hair was still holding the cigarette in his mouth and said.

There was so much noise in here that Yang Ming couldn't hear clearly.

When Chen Zhenhua came over, he said: "Boss, that Huang Mao said that his boss is not here."

If it's not here, then forget it.

He had just seen a piece of paper posted on the cashier counter.

It was written in traditional Chinese characters on the paper.

Please queue up to redeem game currency.

Each game currency costs 1 Hong Kong dollar, and each game currency can be played for 5 minutes.

In other words, one game currency is 1 Hong Kong dollar, and players can only use one game currency to play for five minutes at a time, which is equivalent to 0.2 Hong Kong dollars per minute.

Yang Ming calculated that 1440 hours a day is equivalent to 288 minutes. In other words, if the machine does not stop for a day, it is equivalent to Hong Kong dollars.

This is just the net income of a machine. After excluding electricity costs, store costs, and labor costs, the remaining profit for the day depends on the merchant's expenses.

Calculated based on this 288 Hong Kong dollars, it is very similar to the daily income of 10000 yen per machine in Toyo.

Yang Ming did another simple calculation.

The net profit of this machine is 250 Hong Kong dollars a day. Three machines are 750 Hong Kong dollars, which is 22500 Hong Kong dollars a month.

However, for three machines, Yang Ming calculated based on the purchase price of one machine of 35750 Hong Kong dollars, and three machines would cost 107250 Hong Kong dollars, so it would only take 4.7 months for these three machines to pay back.

If you calculate it further, you can get your money back in about five months.

Next, apart from other expenditures, the second half of the year is basically a profit period.

Azhu is not very good at other things, but she can still do verbal calculations. She also did some verbal calculations just now. In addition to thinking that this machine is very expensive, she also said at the side: "Master, this machine is also very profitable."

"Then I'll test you, how long does it take for this machine to pay for itself?"

"Master, I just calculated it, it's about five months," Azhu said.

Zhong Chuhong has settled accounts for her parents at the clothing store in Chungking Mansion since she was a child. She also has to consider other factors.

"Young Master Yang, I think we should be able to get our money back in about half a year."
