Reborn Tycoon Rise

…

In an inconspicuous commercial building in the suburbs of Los Angeles:

"Mr. Xu, the main sales channels for our claw machines are various casinos in Las Vegas, gas stations on the side of the highway, or some schools. So far, the sales are pretty good, but we have encountered a small problem. , because many of our claw machines are placed in free areas of shopping malls, and many players often encounter situations where they have no coins on them. This situation is quite common, so we have to find a way!"

"No coins?" Xu Zhi also understood. The reason why later claw machines became so popular has a lot to do with the convenience of mobile payment.

There are many coins in the United States, such as one cent, two cents, five cents, ten cents, twenty-five cents, one dollar, etc. The coins used in the claw machine are twenty-five cent coins, but not everyone has many coins.

Taking a step back and saying that even if you have coins on you, how many can you carry under normal circumstances? After catching the doll a few times and using it up, I stopped playing with it.

This problem was solved very well by mobile payment in later generations. You can play as long as you want. And on the other hand, mobile payment uses the numbers in the account, which is not as sensitive as cash.

The reason why it only appears in the United States is because in areas such as Xiangjiang and Wanwan, labor is not expensive and one person can be arranged to be responsible for exchange. Compared with Asia, most areas in the United States (except big cities) are vast and sparsely populated. , commerce in Asia is obviously more intensive, and it is much easier to exchange coins.

In the United States, in order to play a claw machine, you may have to travel a long way to redeem it. This is obviously a waste of time and not very cost-effective. Young people's time is so precious, how can they waste it on a claw machine.

This problem does not occur in arcade machines. An arcade machine is valuable and will not be placed casually in a place with few people. Secondly, arcade machines are much more attractive to people than claw machines, so things that are born across generations will always be There is a misfit with the times.

Xu Zhidao: "Robinson, can you design an automatic exchange machine based on the American currency to convert five-yuan and ten-yuan banknotes into coins?"

Robson thought for a while and said: "This is a good idea, but technically I have to ask professionals."

Recognizing banknotes should not be a problem, because the world's first ATM machine was born in 1969, and some major cities in the United States began to popularize it in the early 1970s. At least it should not be a problem for large-value banknotes, as long as you find a professional to make adjustments. Small denomination notes should be easy too.

This is a good idea, but the actual range of this kind of equipment is too small, and Xu Zhi has no interest in letting Midea develop it. Moreover, each country's currency is different, so it is better to let the local dealers do it themselves.

Xu Zhixiao asked: "Do you have any more questions?"

Robson said: "There's nothing else, except that we need to find some different toys. Basically every household in the United States has the well-known toys, so they're not tempting enough!"

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Let's take it one step at a time! I have some ideas about toys, but I don't have much energy to implement them yet. After a while, our company in Xiangjiang will vigorously develop toy brands."

Robson nodded and smiled: "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

Xu Zhi asked: "Does Mr. Robson know about arcade machines?"

Robson replied: "I know, I've played Arkanoid before, and it was a bit fun."

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Our next Midea product is two different arcade machines. I think you might be interested."

Robson suddenly became excited: "What game is it? Can you let me see it first?"

Xu Zhidao: "It has been sent by air, but it is still at US Customs. It should be almost ready to come over in a few days."

Robson smiled and said: "Okay, I'm looking forward to it. By the way, it's probably Mr. Xu's first time coming to the United States. Why don't we go to Disney together!"

"Okay." Xu Zhi agreed with a smile. Disney's first overseas park will have to wait 5 years before it opens in RB Tokyo. In this era, if you want to play Disney, you must come to the United States.

Of course, as the vanguard of cultural invasion, Disney is now well-known in the United States, but its influence overseas is limited. The investment in Disneyland is not only pursuing the income of the park itself, but more importantly, it is the influence of Disney company and products around the world. Carry out all-round publicity.

After exchanging pleasantries, they made an appointment to go to Disneyland together on the third day.
