Chapter 1590 Go ahead! Game boy!

Chinese people are used to celebrating the Spring Festival.

Even people like Xiangjiang, after Christmas and the Chinese New Year, continued to celebrate the Spring Festival lively, without any obstacles.

So between the end of December and February of each year, it is actually a peak sales season for New Year’s goods.

Major online shopping platforms in their previous lives usually regarded this period as the last shopping carnival before the New Year, and the benefits generated were quite high.

Even if there is no online shopping platform now, the vegetables, meat, fruits, vegetables, various gold, silver and jewelry, and other New Year’s goods during the Chinese New Year are all very well sold.

Of course, the children are the ones who like the most during the holidays.

As long as people who have not entered society and have no jobs to make money, they can be collectively called children, including college students.

New Year's Day and Spring Festival are on holidays. There are no online games in this era. There is also time to watch TV. Good time during the day cannot be wasted.

Generally speaking, primary school students naturally play around the parks and playgrounds near their homes. A little older boys mostly choose to go to the game hall to play games.

Although Xiangjiang's economy has not been good in the past two years, the game hall business has not been greatly affected.

Those exciting and fun video games have become a safe haven for many people to escape from reality. Even many office workers have to call their friends to play, let alone students with weak self-control.

Under the super good business, Xiangjiang's game halls have soared from more than 100 at the beginning to more than 300 at present.

Each store has different sizes. The large game hall can have thousands of square feet, hundreds of machines, and thousands of people flock into the game hall, gathering together in groups of three or five, which is so lively.

The small game hall is in a shop on the street. There are five or six units on both sides of the narrow passage. If there are too many people entering, you can touch people even if you raise your hand, which is crowded.

Especially around the Spring Festival, everyone has plenty of money for the New Year, so it is also something that many people are willing to contribute to the game hall.

Of course not everyone likes the fun.

At least there are no less than the number of boys going to the game hall, who like to sit at home, sit on their own beds, and play games with gaboy handheld consoles.

Compared to when it was released in May last year, the types of game games on handheld consoles have increased a lot.

In addition to the three ace games of "Shanghai Cube", "Super Mario Bros." and "Contra", Kirin Games has been showing its power and released three games in one go since last year.

"Mahjong"

"Thunder and Lightning"

"Rain Story"

The first "Mahjong" has the natural word as its name, which is to play mahjong.

According to different habits in different places, there are five versions in total, and you can choose your favorite purchases on your own.

Mahjong is the national treasure of China. Both men, women, and young and old like it. Whenever there is no table of mahjong at home during the Chinese New Year and holidays, I always feel that it is not lively enough.

Now, I can play mahjong alone while sitting at home.

Moreover, this is not just children, but even the elderly can still hold on and play with them as long as they are familiar with the rules of the game.

Especially for those elderly people who have nothing to do at home and those who are inconvenient to move, the game "Mahjong" is a good pastime for them.

Therefore, it is completely reasonable that the game cartridge "Mahjong" sold 10 million copies in half a year.

Even in the distant Europe and the United States, it is a best-seller and further stimulates the sales of game boy handheld consoles.

The second "Thunder and Lightning" may not be clear to many people.

But when it comes to its content, many people will suddenly realize it.

In fact, "Thunder and Lightning" is a space plane battle game.

The game player controls an airplane, constantly passing through the enemy's blockade, and going to break through Lao Wang's lair one level at a time. Many boys have played this strategy game on arcades and handheld machines.

The dozens of versions derived from this are all kinds of things and fascinating.

But this "Thunder and Lightning" is really the originator of the space plane game.

Flexible control of the plane, dodging bullets all over the screen, and picking up various treasures, increasing your attack ability, and advancing step by step to win... This feeling is a bit similar to Conra, but it is even more exciting.

Fighting in the space environment also seems to be more and more magnificent, and I feel a sense of excitement in my heart.

With the support of many passionate teenagers, "Thunder" released 7 million boxes of game cartridges in four months, which is also a very popular seller.

Game kid's game cartridges are not cheap.

In addition to the 120 USD console for each game, a box of game cartridges costs 20 USD.

Apart from the original "Hong Kong Cube", "Super Mario Bros.", and "Contra", if you want to play one more game, you have to give it $20.

This price is not cheap anywhere.

But if you don't buy it, you can only go to the arcade to play, and that's not yours.

After buying the cassette, you can play it as much as you want.

After doing this, it's not that expensive.

The sales of the two games of Kirin Game Company exceeded 17 million boxes on the game kid's handheld console alone, equivalent to 3.4 billion US dollars, which is much more than Microsoft's window system!

But this is not the most profitable handheld game of Kirin Games.

Although the next "Rain Story" has only been released for 3 months, its sales volume has exceeded 20 million boxes, which has shocked everyone in Kirin Games.

If it weren't for entrusting 7 Japanese game cassette companies to specially customize and rush production, the shipping speed would not be as fast as sales speed.

Like the previous two games, "Story of the Ranch" is naturally the creativity given by Yin Jun.

In fact, it is a simulation life cultivation game, with many similarities to Happy Ranch and Happy Farm that became popular all over the country in around 2010.

The great thing about "Story of Ranch" is that its electronic chip can simulate 24 hours a day, divide the ranch into several time periods to operate, allowing gamers to plant, breed and finally get a bumper harvest in different time periods.

Then, the chip gives the plants and animals inside their own language, and they will have various expressions based on their owner's performance, making players seem to be facing real animals and psychic plants.

Think about Happy Ranch, Happy Farm, which can be grown, steal vegetables, and breed for all ages... This is after 2010, when computers and various information are developed!

So now in 1984, such a novel and growth-oriented game is completely unstoppable for gamers.

The media is also paying attention to this popular game.

One-third of those who buy this game cassette are children aged 7-15, one-third are young people aged 15-22, and the remaining one-third are middle-aged people aged 40-60.

Especially women, whether they are girls, adult white-collar workers, or mother-in-law-level women, they become obsessed with the "Story of the Ranch" they have developed as soon as they play.

During the New Year, the most people are playing "The Story of the Ranch" with a game boy!

The comparison between girls is actually even better than that of boys. Generally, they should have friends around them after they have them. If anyone doesn’t have them, it would be like being out of date.

Moreover, "The Story of the Ranch" has no age or nationality restrictions at all. Everyone can get started with it just by playing it, and they are unwilling to let it go once they play it. They are thinking about it every day.

Two-thirds of the players are women, that's how they come about.

The sales volume of 20 million boxes is also achieved.

With the game cartridges of "Story of the Ranch", Kirin Games Inc. earned $400 million in sales.

In addition, the sales of game boy consoles have also been driven.

Since its launch in May last year, in less than a year, a total of 40 million units have been sold, with sales reaching a terrifying US$4.8 billion!

Of course, there are still patent fees for companies such as Nintendo and Namco, as well as production costs, marketing costs, etc.

However, even if the cost is high, it will at least half of the net profit.

If it weren't for the fact that several game cartridges would continue to add orders, the game boy's console would also have to be mass-produced. The headquarters of the Kirin Game Company in Osaka is still under construction, and the money would be acquired in the land in Hong Kong.

But this also has the effect of stabilizing the morale of the army.

It will allow companies like Kirin to see that at least on the side of the game company, there is a new way of wealth and a strong support.

Even if Kirin Group has debts of more than US$12.6 billion, Kirin Games can still redeem all debts through its own efforts in five years.

You know, Kirin Games Company is not just the games in its hands.

Yin Jun told them all the games he knew at once.

Some are very detailed, while others are even just a few simple descriptions.

But after more than three years of training, Kirin Game Company is no longer Wu Xia Amon, let alone after returning to Japan, they have poached and recruited a large number of talent from game companies, with very rich reserves.

The current three games are their performance of accumulating strengths.

Among Japanese financial institutions, this Kirin game company is highly valued.

Mitsubishi Financial Group, Sumitomo Bank, Mitsui Bank, etc. all evaluated Kirin Games to a high degree and adjusted its credit rating to the highest level.

So far, there are no more than 30 highest-level companies in Japan, almost all of which are century-old stores.

In the game industry, Nintendo is only a first-level player, and only Kirin Games can be compared with those top companies.

The highest valuation for Kirin Games, Hokkaido Bank, Japan, gave a valuation of 20 billion US dollars.

To take an intermediate value, Kirin Games is also worth US$15 billion.

Although it is not enough to say that Kirin Games can sell 15 billion US dollars, this also represents its position in the hearts of banks.

If Kirin Games wants to take out a loan, they will definitely receive many preferential treatments.

Of course, if the Kirin Group collapses, Kirin Game Company, like Kirin Culture, will definitely be a high-quality wealth that was snatched away at the first time.

Nintendo was already awesome enough, occupying most of the game industry, with annual turnover exceeding billions of US dollars, making it the number one in Japan and can almost compete with the United States' Yarida Electronics Company.

But unexpectedly, there is still a mountain high.

Yin Jun’s Kirin Game Company has broken Nintendo’s monopoly by just making a few games and making a handheld game player, becoming the world’s number one, and even surpassed Yarida.

So people have to sigh that geniuses are geniuses, and Yin Jun is indeed a young man favored by God.

From Yin Jun, people can interpret a message.

Inspiration for the mind is priceless!

Often, an inadvertent inspiration can create a career.

Just like this game boy who was inspired by Nintendo's handheld console, upgraded and innovative, and became popular all over the world!!
