Chapter 131 Sales are so bad?

Nintendo has finally signed an agency company in Xiangjiang, preparing to sell the new product Game Boy to the mainland market, and see how the market develops here.

If the mainland market performs well, then the next step is to sell their products to the Eastern European market. If it can completely occupy these two emerging huge markets in the future, Nintendo will become the absolute overlord of the game industry, just around the corner.

It's been a week, and Liu Shengan called and asked the agency company for a sales report. From the first week, he could roughly estimate the sales volume for a month and the potential of the market.

Soon, a fax arrived. Liu Shengan was stunned when he looked at the sales statistics on it.

How is it possible that only over 7,000 units were sold in a week? There are so many provinces in China, so many cities, and one province sold 1,000 units. This is the worst situation in his opinion. After all, what they count is not the retail sales, but the sales to those shopping malls.

But why are there only more than 7,000 units? Can't those retailers see how fun their game consoles are? Didn't it mean that some distributors have sold Nintendo FC to the mainland? Mainlanders should know their Nintendo brand.

Just relying on the brand bonus effect, there shouldn't be only so few sales! There must be a mistake in the statistics, it should be a zero missing.

He called right away: "How did you do it, can the sales statistics be wrong?!"

"Mr. Yagyu, we are not mistaken, we have sold 7,328 units. As I said before, Nintendo's handhelds are too expensive, and game cartridges have to be purchased separately. The market performance must be poor. Now Proves that I'm right?"

"You nonsense! In other markets, when we go public, there will be many players queuing up to buy, and many times it will be sold out on the same day, with sales of millions of units a week. It must be that your sales channels have not developed well. How did you tell me? Commitment?"

Yagyu-an was furious. Does this mean that Nintendo made a mistake? Nintendo is the best game console, how could it not sell!

"Yagyu-an, we are just a cooperative relationship, you pay attention to your wording! Nintendo sells well in your island country, that's because it promotes a year in advance, there are magazines to attract players, and there are stores everywhere. In the mainland, you Have you done an ad?"

"In the United States, Europe and other developed countries and regions, various exhibitions can attract the attention of many players. There are no game exhibitions in the mainland, and I have never seen any electronic and electrical exhibitions on game consoles."

"As you all know, the most popular game console in the Mainland is Smart Multistar, which is similar to Nintendo's FC. They don't sell game cartridges, but there are many multi-in-one game cartridges in the Mainland. The price is so cheap that you can't believe it. Four The ten-in-one one only sells for 160 RMB, and one game console is only sold, which is less than half of Nintendo’s price.”

"Don't make excuses for me, will video game opportunities affect the sales of our handhelds?" Liu Shengan interrupted the agent.

"Video game consoles have little impact, but Zhiduoxing also has handhelds, Zhiduoxing Z, they have been on the market half a month earlier, and they have appeared in major cities and even county towns across the country within a week. They have more than 20 agents. , the agency fee is much higher than ours, and they also have newspaper advertisements and terminal retailers’ mall advertisements, what do we have?”

Liu Sheng'an was taken aback: "You said Zhi Duoxing's handheld is already on the market?!"

Although many companies have already produced handhelds, this is not too difficult,

But in places like mainland China, the technical level should be extremely backward. How could it be possible to successfully develop a handheld device in such a short time?

He suddenly thought of a possibility, could it be that Zhiduoxing imitated their products and produced game consoles? In this way, there will definitely be some people who take advantage of the benefits and start producing pirated handheld cassettes.

FC is Nintendo’s previous generation product, and it is planned to be completely phased out within three years. Today’s sales volume is not much, mainly for third-world countries. This is actually used by Nintendo to cultivate the market. Some people pirate games, and they also choose Sexually ignored.

But this handheld GAME BOY is their main product now, and it has performed very well in Europe, America, and island countries. It has steadily suppressed the handhelds of Sega and other companies, and it cannot let Zhiduoxing take advantage of loopholes.

What he was even more worried about was that if Zhiduoxing produced its own game cartridges and sold them cheaply at a low cost, Nintendo's sales would definitely be severely affected.

"Smart Star Z sells much better than Nintendo's, and the price is cheaper, 300 yuan, which contains six games, each of which is very fun. Especially their Super Tetris, which is easy to use and has a level title."

"What did you say? Super Tetris?" Yagyu-an was overjoyed. Hearing this, it was a pirated version of their game. Their Tetris has just bought the copyright not long ago, and now they have finally seized the handle of Zhiduoxing Company.

If he can help the company acquire Zhiduoxing Company and get a good sales channel in the Chinese market, he will definitely be valued by the president, he will be able to get promoted and raise his salary, and reach the pinnacle of his life.

"You represent Nintendo immediately and send them a lawyer's letter, telling them that they have violated the copyright and must make compensation."

"Liu Sheng'an, what's the infringement? His handheld is not the same as yours, and it's not a cassette, but the game is pre-installed in it."

"In terms of games, they are all developed by themselves. Even if the Super Tetris is a bit like Nintendo's Tetris, it cannot be said that they have infringed."

"I also sent a lawyer's letter. You don't know anything about the mainland of China. There, your accusation has no legal basis at all. Even if you sue in other regions, others can slowly deal with it."

"How can a company as big as Nintendo have a director like you? I will report this matter to a higher level of Nintendo. I think the person in charge of our company should also be replaced by a smart person."

The busy tone came from the phone, which made Liu Shengan furious. He represented Nintendo, and he was taught a lesson by an agent!

Moreover, Nintendo has many of the world's top barristers. They have been involved in many lawsuits in the past few years, and the winning rate is extremely high. Even if they lose, they still get some benefits.

It just occurred to him that the company doesn't seem to have any lawyers who are familiar with Huaxia's law, because Huaxia's market is too small, and it's not worth spending huge sums of money to support a Huaxia legal team.

No, I have to report to the company as soon as possible. I can't let the agent take the lead. I have to let the leader know that the agent is incompetent and looking for excuses. It is definitely not his responsibility to sell unfavorable things!
