Reborn Tycoon Rise

After Terry was chosen as the director, he entered the preparation stage for filming. Because of the cooperation with Paramount, many rental aspects were much simpler.

The casting is also done through a unique casting agency in the Hollywood area. As long as you make a request, they can send a bunch of suitable actors immediately.

Although the cost will be a little higher, the efficiency is extremely high. After a week, basically everyone, including the leading actors, has been cast. Kevin is starred by a kid from a high-level executive at Paramount, and the salary is not low.

Although there are some special deals, this child is indeed very capable. He comes from a film family and has received various trainings since he was a child. Compared with some outside talents, this child is actually more suitable for the filming of this movie. After all, the rest Time is running out.

After entering October, the filming of the movie officially started. Xu Zhi has completed a major event for the time being. In the future, he will often come to the crew to watch the progress of the filming, but he will not stay here forever, leaving a few After becoming an assistant as financial supervisor, Xu Zhi immediately rushed to Las Vegas.

Las Vegas!

For a special group, its name is almost as famous as New York and Washington. It is a city built entirely on gambling. It stands on the desert and is one of the four world-famous gambling cities. Gambling at its peak The industry accounts for 38% of the global share.

Unlike the He family that monopolizes Omen, the casinos here are flourishing, with a total of more than 200 casinos.

The three casinos owned by Reading are located in the northwest corner of Las Vegas. The casinos are medium-sized. They also have their own five-star hotel, which is dedicated to receiving casino guests.

Xu Zhi stood by the corridor on the second floor, holding on to the railing, looking at the craziness of countless gamblers downstairs, and couldn't help but smile: "The business of this casino is really good!"

“That’s right, the U.S. economy is not doing very well recently.” Redding said from the side: “When the economy gets worse, more people will come here to gamble, hoping to get rich overnight and retire! "

Casinos are actually the same as movies, games and other industries. When the economy is bad, the business gets better because countless people want to escape reality and indulge in fantasy.

However, the casinos here are relatively better than those in certain cities in Asia. Nevada has a special gambling law, which not only restricts gamblers, but also has certain regulations on casinos. Although it cannot be said that there are no illegal games, many people still You can really make a fortune.

Xu Zhidao: "Congratulations, this is a business without capital!"

"It's not that simple. There are many hidden costs that you can't see. Speaking of profits, I have to congratulate you Eric." Redding continued: "Your company's creativity is really great, and the new games are very popular. Especially for Tank Battle, orders have now exceeded 50,000 units. Although there are fewer Pac-Man units, they are still very popular. Now some stores I know are not prepared to buy Space Invaders anymore!"

The first batch of Tank Battle and Pac-Man arcade machines have landed in the US market half a month ago. The novel game methods immediately caused a sensation. Because the market is too big, each place can only allocate a small share, so in various places Countless people lined up in small shops and bars in big cities to wait or watch these two arcade machines. Although the Space Invaders on the side were not uninterested, they were still very few.

Anyone who has played Tank Battle has no interest in playing such low-level shooting games again. If they are at home, they may occasionally change their taste, but in arcades, you have to pay for each game, 25 cents a time. , who wants to waste money like this!

Taidong Company probably didn’t expect that its game would be popular in the United States for a year, but towards the end of the year, it would suffer such a blow!

It’s not one-dimensional at all!

"Don't worry, the production capacity in Xiangjiang is enough. We will ship it to the United States as quickly as possible." Xu Zhi replied with a smile. The biggest beneficiary of the increase in arcade sales is naturally his boss.

Pac-Man still follows the same route as Xiangjiang Cube. The terminal sales price is only a little over 2,000 US dollars. Because they are casual games, the speed of swallowing coins is not fast. In order to occupy the market, low prices are a necessary policy. Moreover, the real big head of these games is the future game cartridges. The higher the popularity, the more benefits they will gain in the future.

Tank War is different. This is a combat game. Taitung's Space Invaders sells for almost US$3,000, while Tank War is even more ruthless, with a direct terminal price of US$3,500. However, the price of the first batch is nominally reduced by US$500. , otherwise the price is too high, which may scare away end customers.

But as his reputation increased and more and more orders came in, He Guoyuan became tougher. Not only did the price return to US$3,500, but he also required full payment first.

Of course you can disagree, so sorry, just get in line! Those who pay the full amount get the goods first!

For the tank battle alone, the profit for one unit is as high as 1,500 US dollars, and the total order amount is even more terrifying. Including orders for Pac-Man and Cube arcade machines, the total is as high as 185 million US dollars.

This data has deducted the costs of Reading, the US general distributor, which means that after deducting the production costs of the arcade itself, the profit from these orders alone exceeds 50 million US dollars.

Of course, this is actually the total profit in the next few months. There is no way to get it all for the time being, but there will still be new orders in a few months. Counting Japan and Europe and other countries, Xu Zhi can be considered a real Billionaire - dollar level!

With hundreds of millions of dollars in funding, various plans can be launched smoothly.

Xu Zhi said: "Reiding, I have something else here that might interest you?"

"Oh, what, a new game? I'm only interested in making money now!" Redding laughed.

Xu Zhidao: "It's not a game, it's a toy, but if you follow the plan and cooperate well, the profit will be higher than the game!"

"Toy? Is it your Rubik's Cube? Could it be the same as Barbie?" Redding asked curiously.

"None of them." Xu Zhi shook his head.

In addition to taking the route of major supermarkets, the Rubik's Cube also began to be sold in various small department stores. Redding initially looked down on this small toy, and his distribution channels were not suitable for the Rubik's Cube, so Changxing Company chose a new one in the United States. dealer.

However, the performance of the market was beyond Redding's expectations. On the second day after coming to the United States, Xu Zhi contacted his old friends at ABC TV station and spent millions of dollars on large-scale advertising bombings during several prime times, especially 200,000 The US dollar reward quickly caused a sensation. In just half a month, all the Rubik's Cubes shipped to the United States were sold out. New orders have been sent back to Xiangjiang, and the next batch is ready to be shipped by air.
