Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

As time went by, the flow of people at the trade fair began to increase, both tourists and agents began to come here.

The people hired by Eric Davis started working as early as nine o'clock, that is, playing games in the Galaxy Games exhibition hall. Each person played a game and took turns.

Players who have just started to play these two new games often play a game for less than a few minutes. For those who are more lucky, it may only last for five minutes. Only after they are familiar with the game can they play for about ten minutes. Only a few real masters can play for more than ten minutes. ten minutes.

There are considerations in setting the difficulty of the game.

The game is too simple. If every player can play a game for dozens of minutes, then the arcade owner will not need to make money at all. People buy arcade machines to make money.

It doesn’t matter if the game is too difficult. Players can only play for two or three minutes by inserting coins at a time. At first, it was okay because they were not familiar with the gameplay. But if this happens every time, the players’ wallets will definitely not be able to bear it. This will drive customers away. If you push it, it will easily lead to no one playing the game.

Therefore, the difficulty of a game is usually to control the playable time for most players within ten minutes, and the playable time for expert players within twenty minutes. In this way, players can play for a period of time by inserting coins at one time. The boss can also make money and achieve a balance.

Eric Davis's method really worked, because there were people playing games in the exhibition hall, and there were people waiting nearby. It seemed like many people were attracted, and watching the excitement was the goal of most people in the world. The commonality, some people are immediately attracted to.

Visitors to the game exhibition area either like playing games very much or have a tendency to do so. Therefore, after they see people playing games in the exhibition hall, they naturally wait and listen to the staff introducing how to play the game.

"Pac-Man", an arcade game that uses color, made game enthusiasts fall in love with it the first time they saw it. After playing games for so many years, they suddenly saw an arcade game with color added, and naturally they couldn't help it. Feel new and surprised.

No matter what the game is like, they are willing to wait to play this game once before the novelty wears off.

"Lin, I'd like to congratulate you here. It seems that the game "Pac-Man" is very popular."

Phil Smith congratulated Lin Baicheng. In fact, he fell in love with the game "Pac-Man" when he saw it and wanted to be an agent. However, he is a businessman after all. Personal hobbies are personal hobbies, and business is business. Considering that no investigation was conducted, he finally gave up.

There was no way. If he chose to win the exclusive rights to this game, he would have to spend about 20 million US dollars at once. Once the arcade machine fell into his hands, he would suffer heavy losses. And he just did this when he saw the arcade machine. This is irresponsible to himself and is not what a qualified businessman should do.

For example, when Phil Smith first saw the game "Hong Kong Cube" in the game arcade, he fell in love with it after trying it out a few times. However, he still took the time to ask the company to conduct market research. Going to Xiangjiang to get the agency was the result of careful consideration, not an impulse.

Phil Smith knew that the people who came to play games at first were invited, but those who came later were real tourists. Now those tourists are waiting to play games one by one, especially the game "Pac-Man". , the most popular.

Seeing the big from the small, Phil Smith can already predict that the game "Pac-Man" will be loved by players and accepted by the market.

"Thanks, Smith!"

Lin Baicheng was very happy. Even though he had the memory of rebirth, "Pac-Man" was already popular in the previous life, and it would be popular now if nothing happens. But before it is accepted by the market, anything can happen. Nowadays, these people like it. Although it does not represent everyone, it is enough to make people feel at ease.

Phil Smith tentatively said: "Lin, I want to be an agent for this game. The conditions are the same as "Xiangjiang Cube". What do you think?"

"There's no rush, there's no rush. It doesn't matter if only these people like it now. We'll talk about it after the three-day trade fair is over."

Lin Baicheng smiled and waved his hand, but did not agree. He will definitely increase the agency fee this time, and other agents have not come yet. If other agents in the United States are willing to pay a higher price, he will not refuse a high price even if he has cooperated with Phil Smith before. of.

"Okay. But Lin, our previous cooperation was very pleasant. I hope you can continue to cooperate with me under the same conditions. A long-term partner is the best."

Phil Smith knew that Lin Baicheng was going to sell it at a price, and he had nothing to do about it. Moreover, in three days, he would be able to find out whether the game is only liked by some people temporarily, or whether the majority of people like the game.

"That's what you said, Smith, and I'll consider it."

Lin Baicheng nodded slightly. He admitted that Phil Smith was right. A long-term partner would indeed be better. If the conditions were similar, he would definitely give priority to Phil Smith.

As time went by, the two games of Galaxy Games were spontaneously promoted by tourists, attracting more game enthusiasts, and more tourists attracted game agents from various countries.

Some agents began to tentatively inquire about prices from Galaxy Games. Lin Baicheng asked Eric Davis to deal with them, not only because Eric Davis, a Westerner, could more easily deal with these agents, but also because Eric Davis K. Davis knows how to sell better than he does.

The external price of the game "Xiangjiang Cube" is still US$1,500. Lin Baicheng has neither raised nor lowered the price. If he wants to lower the price, unless it is also a large order of 10,000 units, he cannot explain it to Taitung Co., Ltd. and Phil Smith. .

As for the price of the game "Pac-Man", the cost is 3,400 Hong Kong dollars per unit, which is a little over 800 US dollars when converted into US dollars. As for the price, Lin Baicheng, Liu Yihui, Miyamoto Soo, Eric Davis and others have all said We discussed and consulted with them for their opinions, and finally decided to sell one unit for US$1,888.

This time, whether it is in Xiangjiang or abroad, the price is uniformly US$1,888 per unit.

Everyone thinks this way. Although Galaxy Games is a local game company in Xiangjiang, the market in Xiangjiang is too small compared to the global market. There is no need to set lower prices specifically for Xiangjiang. If it causes dissatisfaction in foreign markets, it will be more than worth the loss. .

Lin Baicheng did not object. At first, the price of "Hong Kong Cubes" was set low in Hong Kong to open up the market. Later, higher prices were set in foreign markets to make more money. Now, the game "Pac-Man" can completely set a unified price. Regarding price, there is no need to assume that local prices are cheaper than foreign prices.

Although there were many agents inquiring about the price, none of them decided to place an order immediately. Everyone was observing and wanted to know whether the popularity of these two games of Galaxy Games could last long and not just be a flash in the pan.
