227. Let's play a game of cards
A pack of cards only costs two yuan, but there is such a large sales volume. The market size in mainland China is also amazing. With this discovery, Lin Muyu continued to study Su Butong's decision-making process. She found that the sales of football games were at the expense of the World Cup.
It is said that the hot spots were decided by Su Butong at short notice. Although the production staff were caught off guard, the rare effect was excellent and they fought a good battle.
He mainly divides the sales of toys in China into three steps.
The first step was to go to Japan to buy the broadcast rights of Ultraman, which only cost 100 million yen.
The second step is to provide it to TV stations for free.
The third step is to sell toys and cards!
These three steps are linked together, and it can be said that it comes naturally. At the beginning, no one thought that he would buy seven tokusatsu dramas with the ultimate goal of making money. At that time, everyone thought that he had money but no place to spend it.
, throwing money out.
But the facts slapped everyone who didn’t believe in him in the face. Lin Muyu had to say that Su Butong was a natural business wizard. No one had ever walked this road like this before, but Su Butong not only walked, but also walked
correct.
The first Ultraman movie earned more than 300 million yuan before it even finished airing.
There are still 6 more movies to come. If each movie has the current scale, it will be a blue ocean of 1.8 billion!
In this blue sea, the war dragon will fly freely!
Selling toys in China is really profitable, especially now that Chinese people have gained preliminary brand awareness. They realize that the quality of "War Dragon Special Authorization" is better than ordinary toys that are used to entertain people, and it is more affordable.
.The cards are also more beautiful than ordinary Western cartoons. Moreover, the Dragon War cards also bring new gameplay. How to play the cards:
The game adopts a best-of-three games system.
1. When playing this card, each player needs to have a set of no more than 30 cards, and no more than 2 cards of the same name.
2. When playing, you need to decide which hand to play first. Each player draws 10 cards from their own card library and can exchange for three of them. The total number does not exceed 10. Unless there are heroes or monster skills in this game, no additional cards will be drawn.
.
3. Players can only play one card in each round. The field is divided into three columns: Ultraman, monsters, and skills. In each game, the battle strength on the field determines the winner or loser. Ultraman and monsters have initial attack power and skills.
It can increase attack power. General-purpose skills (metal, wood, water, fire, earth, air) can be used on monsters of the same attribute.
4. If one party chooses not to play cards (gives up following the cards), he will no longer have an action turn in this game, and the other player can continue to play cards until he does not play cards or has no cards to play.
5. When both parties no longer want to play cards (give up following the cards), the game ends, the scores of both parties are calculated, the winner is announced, all the cards on the field are put into the graveyard, and then the next game is entered.
6. At the beginning of the second game, both sides draw 2 more cards from their own card library. The player who won the previous game must play the card first, and the second game begins.
7. At the beginning of the third game (if a third game is required), both parties draw 1 card from their own card library.
8. After the three games are over, the player who wins two games will win the entire game.
The game quickly became popular among children and adults. Because it is a two-player game and a game can be completed quickly in less than 5 minutes, it has been welcomed by many people.
In particular, this card game can be traded. Such a novel thing promotes communication between people. Many people have become good friends because of trading cards, and many good friends have turned against each other because of flash cards.
.
However, these were all unexpected by Su Butong, and what Su Butong didn't expect was that he seemed to have turned on the switch of an era.
In this era, Magic: The Gathering, known as the originator of trading cards, had not yet been released. The Ultraman card he accidentally invented became the earliest trading card game invented in the world! This honor,
Belongs exclusively to Subudong.
However, Subutong also knows that the copyright to Ultraman does not belong to him. He can just keep quiet about it and make a fortune. There is no need to make a big show of claiming the title. As for the copyright to Ultraman's toys, he can't buy it now even if he goes to buy it.
Yes, all the copyrights are in the hands of Tsuburaya. However, with the popularity of Ultra Brands, he can do something to save the country, but it is not the time yet.
This incident gave him an inspiration. With the help of a toy factory, he produced Pokemon cards. The rules are similar to Ultraman cards, and they were distributed and sold around the world!
Due to the huge number of elves, he has more room for manipulation. But this time he paid more attention to the anti-counterfeiting technology of the cards, and there were more cards packed in one card, reaching 15. On average, there is one foil card for every 6 packs.
There will be one rare card in every 10 packs.
Later, in the financial report of that year, 200 million cards were sold worldwide. Zhanlong found another good way to make money - unlimited card printing, but this is a story for another day.
In China, I often hear someone ask on the road: "Would you like to play a game of cards?" After saying this, both of them have a knowing smile at the same time.
So two people who were not familiar with each other before set up a battle array on the roadside and started playing cards. This trend swept China for a while and became a spectacle of the year. It was widely reported by newspapers, magazines and other media.
At the end of June, the seventh game of the second arena tournament will be held at the Shekou Sea World in Shenzhen. Futaba, who is already on summer vacation, brought Su Butong to Shenzhen to watch the game.
Futaba is now familiar to most people in the Chinese Go community, and almost everyone has played chess with Futaba. So Futaba has not yet entered Dan, but these people's evaluations are unanimous, that is, Futaba will be far more powerful if he does.
An extraordinary first-level chess player. The Tokyo Chess Academy also sent an invitation, inviting Futaba to return to Tokyo in November to take the regular-level exam. Futaba asked Subbutong for his opinion, and Subbutong said he would follow Futaba.
She felt a little relieved, but then a new worry came. If she entered dan at the Tokyo Chess Academy, she would have to return to Japan to participate in the competition, and she would inevitably leave Subudong. So Futaba secretly told Nie Jiuduan her worries.
Nie Jiuduan said with a smile that this is not a problem. If Futaba is willing, he can participate in the fixed-stage competition in China and become a Chinese chess player. However, the overall level of Chinese Go is currently not as good as that of Japan. If Futaba does this, it will definitely make it worse.
Tokyo Chess Yuan's face was dull. So relieved, Futaba still made some trade-offs in her heart. Compared with going back to Japan to play chess, she seemed to feel more at ease staying with Subutong.
The seventh game will be played by Xiao Linjue against Shao Zhenzhong. In the previous sixth game, Xiao Linjue defeated Qian Yuping with black. Qian Yuping defeated Shunya Imamura before. The two sides tied at 3 to 3. This is a big win for the two teams.
All are acceptable results.
Before departure, Chen Xuance came back from shopping for treasures in Hebei Province. He heard that Su Butong and Shuangye were going to Shekou, so he laughed and said, "The name Shekou is not very nice."
Su Butong joked: "How about you calculate who will win and who will lose in this game?"
Chen Xuance took it seriously, counted it with his fingers, frowned and said: "Shao Zhenzhong was born in 1958 and is a dog; Cao Dayuan was born in 1961 and is an ox. When these two animal signs enter the 'Shekou', it means 'If you go, you will never come back, you will die.'"
Undoubtedly, Xiao Linjue was born in 1959 and is a pig. The pig is the mortal enemy of the snake, so in Shekou, Xiao Linjue will definitely be like a fish in water and win consecutive battles!"
Su Butong just took it as a joke and didn't take it seriously at all. Nie Jiuduan had confessed to Futaba not long ago. Shao Zhenzhong and Cao Dayuan both defeated Xiao Linjue two years ago, so Su Butong felt that these two people had a psychological advantage.
