The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 649 Akihabara

"But this still doesn't explain why Nintendo invited my brother-in-law... No, the chairman came to attend their press conference. What relationship do we have with their new console?" Leng Zhimeng murmured.

"Brother-in-law..." Makoto Ito on the side was excited when he heard this address, and suddenly remembered the plots in various action movies, it was so exciting!
"Do you know what's going on?" Leng Zhimeng asked Makoto Ito directly.

"Hey!" Ito Makoto nodded, and then said, "We have also conducted many discussions and analyzes internally on this issue. One thing worth noting is that Nintendo did not convey the invitation by phone, but by Nintendo's A minister came to convey it personally, and attached an invitation letter."

"This is the first-class treatment in the entire Fusang country. Generally, only top third-party companies such as Capcom and Namco, as well as some game media can enjoy the treatment. When the head of the department appeared at that time , we were stunned from top to bottom!"

"Our Fusang pays great attention to the sense of hierarchy and ritual, and it is the same among enterprises. Important things must be accompanied by heavyweights, and unimportant things will never be taken care of by people at the level of the head."

"So we think that Nintendo's invitation to the chairman to attend this press conference is by no means a polite invitation, but it is very likely that we hope to reach a certain direction of cooperation with our group headquarters, and the desire is very urgent!" Makoto Ito Although his name is a bit bad, he still has the ability, at least he can analyze some situations.

"Then do you know what exactly Nintendo wants from us?" Boss Huang continued to ask.

"Hey!" Makoto Ito continued, "Nintendo is a pure game company, and all their businesses are related to games. Our 00 Game Center is also a game-related company, and its main business is on the PC platform. Centralized publishers and operators of games.”

"At the same time, Nintendo itself does not have any game business on the PC side, and just at this time Nintendo is facing operational difficulties. So I think that Nintendo must be trying to expand the PC game market and transfer a large number of console games in their hands to In this case, we must rely on the power of our OO game platform, a large single-player PC game platform that spans the world."

"So I think Nintendo must be seeking to cooperate with us on the release of PC games!" Makoto Ito finally said loudly, and it was obvious that he was very confident in the answer, and Leng Zhimeng on the side also nodded.

This analysis is very reliable, because apart from Nintendo's ability to use 00 Game Center in the PC game market, it is really unclear what demand Nintendo has for 00 games.

It can't be said that Nintendo hopes to let Warcraft and other games enter the console platform... Even if this is the case, then just go directly to Blizzard instead of looking for Jiangnan.

Although Jiangnan is the head office of Blizzard, if Jiangnan can be dealt with, Blizzard can also be dealt with, but if Boss Huang has a little common sense, he will directly reject such a leapfrogging.

So trying to reach a cooperation with 00 Game Center is the most likely guess.

But is that really the case?

Boss Huang thinks the possibility is not high, because in the future development history of Nintendo, no matter what situation they encounter, they never intend to enter the PC side, so there is no reason to change their mind now.

Secondly, if Nintendo really wants to do this, there is no need to rely on the power of OO Game Center. After all, Nintendo has its own product sales network all over the world. Nintendo can sell any game within three days. Products are placed on the shelves of any country in the world.

If Nintendo really wants to engage in PC games, it only needs to develop a PC game version and sell it globally. There is no need to cooperate with OO Game Center and let 00 Game Center extract intermediary fees from the middle. This is the idea of ​​​​a person with a pumped head.

So Boss Huang thinks Makoto Ito's guess is wrong, but Boss Huang is also a little confused about the specific situation, so he can only wait until the press conference is held.

However, there is still one day before the press conference, so Leng Zhimeng immediately rushed to her brother-in-law and said, "Brother-in-law, why don't we go to Akihabara!"

"Akihabara!" Boss Huang muttered. If there is a street in Fusang that is the most famous in China, it is undoubtedly Akihabara.

Akihabara was originally a street in Tokyo specializing in the sale of various electrical appliances. In the 70s, a large number of stores selling game consoles appeared in Akihabara. Later, it became the starting area for game manufacturers such as Sega and Nintendo.

In the 80s, various industries related to game culture and animation culture settled in Akihabara, so it gradually evolved into the most famous otaku culture street in Fuso, or a two-dimensional street, etc. , which brings together all Fuso's Two-dimensional products.

It can be said that if you are a Two-dimensional lover, then Akihabara must be a place in your life.

In his previous life, as Bandai's customer service + experienced glue guy and Two-dimensional lover, Boss Huang is naturally full of interest in Akihabara, and he has enough time, so he readily agreed to Leng Zhimeng's plea, and then The two went to Akihabara together the next day, along with Boss Huang's secret secretary Hu Jing and the branch president Makoto Ito.

Well, Makoto Ito is mainly here to take care of the checkout.

"I want to buy a full set of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, a full set of Pokémon cards and dolls!" Leng Zhimeng held a list in her hand and said very excitedly. Everything on it was what the Miss President wanted to buy. .

"Buy, buy all of them!" Boss Huang said domineeringly, just a little money.

The first thing they arrived at was the largest comprehensive shopping complex in Akihabara, which contained 70% of Two-dimensional products. Basically, most of the things they wanted to buy could be bought in this building.

Leng Zhimeng rushed to her primary goal first, and bought a complete set of Pokémon dolls. These are the unique styles of Fusang, very cute, but the price of a complete set is very expensive, nearly 20 yen. But Leng Zhimeng bought it without blinking.

Her current monthly salary is over one million RMB, which is a legal salary subject to taxation. Naturally, it is no problem to buy these 20 yen gadgets.

After remembering and visiting many places, Ito Makoto even called the company employees to help carry it, and finally came to the final destination this time, which is a shop specializing in selling cards.

All kinds of cards have always been the most well-known and profitable products of Two-dimensional, and another Yu-Gi-Oh is the most famous.

Yu-Gi-Oh is a manga created in 1996. It began to be animated in 2000, and then it got out of hand. The Yu-Gi-Oh card game involved in it has become the pinnacle of board games in the world.

Because its core gameplay is all kinds of cards, when Yu-Gi-Oh’s card products were launched on the market, they were immediately sought after by the whole Fuso and even the world.

Throughout 2001, Yu-Gi-Oh! cards sold nearly 300 billion yuan in sales in Fusang, and the global sales reached 5 million US dollars, which can be called the peak sales of cards.

Because there are many deliberate rare cards in the Yu-Gi-Oh card, such as the white dragon, the four gods, etc., so it also has a high collection value, and the most valuable Yu-Gi-Oh card has been sold for 180 million The point of the dollar.

In later generations, there was another TW criminal in China, TW had assets worth tens of millions of yuan. As a result, the money was not used for gambling or whoring, but was actually used to buy various Two-dimensional peripherals, including a golden blue-eyed white dragon. It even fetched 87 yuan at the auction.

Of course, this price was extremely unreasonable, and the bidder lost the deposit in the end, which was only a few hundred dollars.

Anyway, things are quite magical, but this also shows from the side that Yu-Gi-Oh cards have extremely high collection value.

And Leng Zhimeng is such an experienced Yu-Gi-Oh card player... Well, in fact, as long as it is related to the game, she is a fan of anything that can arouse Leng Zhimeng's love.

When I was in China, I bought a lot of genuine Yu-Gi-Oh cards through various means. This time when I came to Fusang, it was naturally a special draw.

"This time, I want to dominate the world and get all 2574 cards!" Leng Zhimeng said arrogantly.

The first edition of Yu-Gi-Oh Cards has been released since 1999, and there are only a few hundred cards in total.

As a result, the same version of Yu-Gi-Oh was released in 2004, but several supplementary packs are released every year, and there are some limited editions. Now there are 2574 different cards. [Because I couldn't find the detailed data for 2004, this is a random compilation. If there are knowledgeable readers, please correct me and revise it immediately! 】

不过这个数字到2020年更加夸张，截止至2020年8月23日，《游戏王》一共有23862张卡，总卡池有8184种类，OCG卡池8126种类（632种类OCG独有），TCG卡池7552种类（58种类TCG独有）。

However, because there is no genuine Yu-Gi-Oh sales channel in China, they can only buy through some private channels. In addition, Leng Zhimeng has not invested too much energy, so currently Leng Zhimeng only has more than 2200 cards in his hand, and there are still more than 300 cards left. The next more than [-] cards were not collected.

Now that we have arrived in Akihabara this time, Leng Zhimeng will naturally make a decisive move and collect all the Yu-Gi-Oh cards in one go.

So Leng Zhimeng went directly to the area where cards were sold, and then aggressively said to the clerk, "Bring out all the versions of Yu-Gi-Oh cards you have here!"

"Nani?" The clerk looked at Leng Zhimeng stupidly, and Makoto Ito quickly helped his boss translate into Japanese.

"All versions?" The clerk was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Miss, because many early versions have stopped selling, although we still have some reserves here, but the price!"

"Don't worry about money, our president has plenty of money!" Makoto Ito said quickly.

Well, since you have money, then there is no problem. The clerk didn't have any mentally handicapped operations that can only be found in novels that don't sell Chinese people, so he simply took a few boxes of various versions of Yu-Gi-Oh in their store. come out.

So Huang He, Hu Jing, Makoto Ito, and Leng Zhimeng all sat around a bar and started a long non-stop game of drawing cards.
