Chapter 62 Discussions sparked by a letter
The game boycotted by housewives' mothers actually turned around. "Endless Fantasy" is like an alien, passed down by word of mouth among mothers, and was purchased by mothers who hold the power of family finance...
Even Nintendo itself won't get the accurate sales data in the short term.
Therefore, Takahashi did not pay too much attention to the sales issues of "Endless Fantasy", but instead focused his experience on another profit-making point - the surrounding area.
Wandae, which is just one word from Wanhu, is selling the big guys around.
Although Takahashi doesn’t want Wanhu to be a existence like Wanda, he has to buy it. But why don’t you make money around?
Wanhu has not had any peripheral products before, but has not sold them separately. It is just a scene in the claw machine.
After all, I have done arcade games before. The characteristics of arcade games are relatively popular. There are not many people who can buy arcades, but very few, so few that they have no commercial development value.
Home computer games are different. Home computers have longer contact with players and are more likely to develop feelings, while role-playing games can also deepen people's feelings for games.
People are often willing to invest more irrational money in things that have been invested in their emotions.
Otherwise, the support fans, clothes, and stickers for idol performances will not be so easy to sell.
Therefore, Takahashi also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when "Endless Fantasy" entered the red and white machine to sell peripheral products of "Endless Fantasy".
Takahashi put down the card in his hand, swept the poster next to him, and finally picked up the doll of Slime, a representative monster in the game, pinched it twice and asked, "Have the quality of the doll been checked? I don't want the doll to easily have quality problems such as opening lines and exposing cotton."
"All have been checked." said Li Fu, who was in charge of the production of the surrounding puppets.
Compared with the printing of cards and posters, the production of puppets is more labor-intensive. Takahashi is still a capitalist at all. Reducing costs and increasing profits is the consistent nature of capitalists.
It is absolutely a fool to have the resources of mainland China. Therefore, this batch of puppets is actually a sketch outlined by Takahashi, designed and produced by a state-owned factory in China.
The velvet cloth on the outside is not enough. Although domestic raw material suppliers are very eager to use domestic velvet cloth. It is just cheap, but the quality is still not good. It is too easy to pill and become dirty. The last one is still Japanese velvet cloth. However, the cotton inside is made of cotton produced in Xinjiang.
"Well, always remember. Any product represents the face of Wanhu." Takahashi felt good when he put it down, and he could also be a pillow and a slime puppet on the pillow.
The secretary trotted in from outside the door and whispered, "President, the results of the magazine vote have been counted."
Takahashi followed the secretary to the conference room. Not only was the executive editor of "Player Heart", Aesung Kohashi, but also the project leader of "Endless Sea" and the former president of the Computer Club of Tokyo University of Electronic Technology, Nobutaka Nakamura.
The two of them were chatting and laughing, but when they saw Takahashi coming in, they immediately closed their mouths. However, the expressions on their faces still felt like they were "happy with their eyebrows".
"Let you wait for a long time," Takahashi said, "You have read the magazine's voting results? "Endless Fantasy" is the number one in this issue, and it's worth being happy?"
After hearing Takahashi's words, the uncontrollable joy of the two began to dissipate.
"There are three red and white games that were launched at the same time as "Endless Fantasy". Including previous periods, there are only ten games participating in the voting. "Player Heart" is the main battlefield for our ten thousand households. I don't think there is anything to be happy about when "Endless Sea" won the first questionnaire."
"Yes! Sorry!"
"sorry!"
The two Japanese listened to Takahashi's criticism, looked at Takahashi's face, and immediately stood up from the chair and bowed to apologize.
When Takahashi saw the two people apologizing, he did not sit there with peace of mind and accept it. Instead, he stood up and helped the two bowed people up.
"I don't have any objections to you two, nor do I say that this matter is not worth celebrating. Instead, I think we are too optimistic now. If it is too optimistic, we will think about everything in the best direction. If it is really the best result, then it will be fine, but what if something goes wrong? Is optimistic useful? No optimism. Optimism will only make us busy.
Okay, sit down, I think you all have calmed down. Let me tell you what I found out and I want to ask you two what you two think." Takahashi sat down, took out a letter from his pocket, opened the opened envelope again, and opened the letter paper and read it.
"Takahashi celebrity, I am your loyal fan.
Your new game "Endless Fantasy" is very fun, and I have a lot of fun. However, there is something related to "Endless Fantasy" that bothers me...
My mother almost never played games before, but a few days ago, she didn't know where she heard about "Endless Fantasy", so she actually bought one by herself and started playing at home. I only saved money and only bought three cardboards, and the rest of the games were borrowed.
Since my mother played the game you made, she has stopped cooking and cleaned the house every day. She even calls her classmates’ mothers to discuss the plot every day.
My dad and I can't stand it anymore. We heard that Nara has opened a new school to relieve our video game addiction, and we want to send my mom there...
What should I do? I'm so confused..."
"I wonder what you guys think?" Takahashi asked with the letter on the table.
"I think it's a good thing," said Nakamura Nobutaka, "You once said that in Japan, mothers are one of the most important components of the family. Whoever controls mothers will master the home machine market. Now, as you said, mothers who have the financial power are crazy about "The Endless Sea", which is a very good thing."
"I don't agree!" Kohashi Yasheng retorted, "Nakamura, you only see the good side. Didn't you see the child and father in the letter intend to send your mother to a school that quits the addiction to electronic games? I think this is a crisis! If they really send their mother to that kind of school and those who are interested will report it, it will have a huge blow to the reputation of Wanhu."
When Nakamura Nobutaka heard Ashikazu Kohashi's words, he became silent.
Although he didn't understand the publicity, he had seen it. Before he joined Wanhu, he knew that Wanhu had a good job in publicity. As an important part of Wanhu's promotional department, Xiao Qiao Yaxing must have a reason for saying this.
