Chapter 53 Relax
It is always late in winter.
Although it was already past nine o'clock, it felt like it was still early in the morning.
The warm sun shines on the earth, making the ice and snow warmer.
Children who got up early broke out and studied the toys they had newly obtained during the New Year.
Many children took advantage of the opportunity of Black Friday to buy their favorite Tetris handheld. When they got home, they installed the battery and played it all night in excitement. The next morning, they couldn't wait to drag the dark connection cable and went out to find someone to challenge.
No matter how high the temperature is in winter, it will not be much higher. The connection cable of Wanhu's "Tetris" handheld machine is made of plastic, and it becomes hard as soon as it is frozen. Even if two people face this side, it is still a bit difficult to insert (harmoniously).
Nick, who stayed in the office all night, slept a rare night and got up at nine o'clock. After eating the hot curry-flavored fast food, he wore thick lichen clothes to move his body.
He looked at the children around him, and many of them were playing the Tetris handheld, and his hands were cold red. He finally felt relieved. At least in California, at least near the company, the sales of the Tetris handheld cannot be said to be a failure.
After walking around quickly for a long time, Nick returned to the company and took off the scarf and hung the clothes hanger. His face became more comfortable.
At least subjectively, the Tetris handheld console did not die suddenly on Black Friday.
Nick knows that only a product can sell better if it has a good platform. The same product, before it is vigorously advertised and after it is on the Super Bowl, sales will be earth-shaking.
However, not every product that has been listed on a good platform will definitely have a good ending.
Although the power of advertising can make it known and choose to buy a product by more people. However, if the product power is not good, after fooling the first batch of users who have taken the lead, they can only die quickly because of their poor reputation.
The reason why Tetris handheld was launched in North America in advance instead of waiting for Black Friday to make a splash. It was because Nick didn't know if North American consumers could really accept a new thing like Tetris handheld.
You should know that although game companies such as Nintendo and Sega have begun to enter the US market, local American companies have never given up on electronic game production on personal computer platforms.
However, since Atari collapsed, in recent years, the vast majority of light users who have played video games have long forgotten what video games are.
oh!
No!
They probably haven't forgotten what video games are. Atari, a company that focuses on feeding shit, has taught these mild players to be cautious when playing video games.
The United States is the most developed country in the world today, and it has almost the most developed entertainment form in the world. Players can watch TV and novels without playing games. In the case where players have had many negative impressions of electronic games led by Atari, it is quite difficult to establish a good product image.
Nick doesn't have a good solution to this, but due to the attributes of the Ten Thousand Tetris handheld consoles, the primary users are some young users.
Before Atari collapsed, young players of this age had either not had a deep enough impression of electronic games or had very few.
Nick followed this path and could sell more than 300,000 Tetris handheld consoles before Black Friday.
Of course, this is not only sales in the United States, but also in Canada.
However, most of the time, people think that North America is the United States. Canada, a country with maple leaves in the flag, is either a small transparent person or a vassal of the United States.
In fact, the same is true from a business perspective.
Canada and the United States are quite similar in culture to customs, and the languages they use are basically the same. Therefore, the entire North America is almost a unified market.
The market trend of Canada is closely following the United States. Conquering the US market is almost equivalent to conquering the Canadian market.
Therefore, although Nick is the head of Wanhu North American branch, his main energy is still placed on the United States.
Back in the company, he was the only one in the company, and everyone else, mainly sales staff and telephone customer service, have already returned home during holidays.
Nick's phone number on his desk needs to be transferred, so he sat in the operator's seat and quietly waited for sales reports from major chain sales agencies.
However, he expected that the sales report would not come too early.
Because he understood that although major chain sales agencies have begun to count sales since the peak last night, the "Tetris" handheld machine of Wanhu and Wanhu's product, after all, is just a small flower in the sea of flowers and enterprises. The priority level is not enough, so naturally we cannot expect to get the sales report as soon as possible.
wait……
Nick made a cup of coffee.
Nick read a book.
Nick dismantled a Tetris handheld console.
Nick assembled a Tetris handheld console.
It was already dark at three o'clock in the afternoon.
At 6 p.m., Nick received the first call from a small sales chain in California. They counted that in their supermarkets and stores, a total of 13,200 Tetris handhelds were sold during the peak hours of Black Friday.
Nick said thank you and recorded this number.
In terms of the size of this chain sales agency, the sales data of more than 13,000 units can only be said to be average, not exceeding expectations, nor below expectations.
At least not bad news, Nick continued to wait patiently.
"One hundred thousand three thousand units."
"Forty-five hundred units."
"Three hundred thousand two thousand units."
...
Until late at night, twenty-four hours have passed since the peak of sales, and sales data are still being summarized.
Although Nick is very sleepy, he is very energetic.
Because, the sales volumes now have reached more than one million units. Although I don’t know how much sales are, according to past experience, such statistics will only count less and not more.
Although there are still nearly one million units that have not been sold, Nick's mood has been much more relaxed.
Because, although the North American branch is not profitable yet, this sales already means that Wanhu Group will at least not lose money.
Nick rubbed his sore eyes and called the headquarters.
