The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 715 Different postures of Americans 【】

Compared with the two worlds of ice and fire in the Fusang market and the Huaxia market, the American market here is quite calm.

First of all, although the U.S. market was also released simultaneously on the first day, the release time of each place is different. In many regions, the first phase of the Pokémon Blind Box Huahuang Rewards was put on the shelves one month after the public sale. of.

However, there is no way to do this. After all, BLM has so much manpower and material resources, it is impossible to spread out all over the country to find those local small convenience stores for negotiation.

Under the leadership of Hao Jianguo, the entire BLM team adopted a strategy of attacking by key areas, first reaching agreements with local convenience stores in those key cities, and then going to various towns at the next level.

The launch time of the first batch of Pokémon Blind Box Huahuang Rewards can be more than one month apart in two different regions.

However, this does not mean that Hao Jianguo achieved the goal after a month. In fact, Hao Jianguo completed the goal of 4 convenience stores in 5000 days, and after a month, the BLM company led by Hao Jianguo, miraculously It has reached cooperation agreements with 18 local convenience stores.

Because some local convenience stores have only a dozen chain stores, and some even have only one store, which belongs to the status of individual industrial and commercial households.

Therefore, the total number of business entities that finally signed the agreement is as high as more than 1500, basically covering all convenience store chain brands in the United States except for large chain brands.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiangnan Group successfully extended its tentacles of market control to all regions of the United States. As long as there are convenience stores, it has the tentacles of BLM company.

Of course, although Hao Jianguo took one day longer than three days to complete the task, Boss Huang seemed to have completely forgotten that he had come down, and instead praised Hao Jianguo after that.

Then he patted Hao Jianguo on the shoulder and told him that what he said before was actually a radical method, and he said so to arouse his ambition to fight.

He, Huang He, always thought that Hao Jianguo was the strongest manager in the world, the No. 1 person in charge of the Jiangnan Group's three major country markets.

After that, Huang He officially announced that he would directly reward Hao Jianguo with a bonus of US$100 million and a 2.5% option in BLM.

This can be regarded as a rare reward under the Jiangnan Group. Except for a few executives such as Liu Xiangjiang, no one can really get the reward of the company's stock options in the hands of Boss Huang.

Boss Huang has always been very serious about the company's stocks, and he has never thought of distributing his company's stocks to employees to achieve common prosperity.

Boss Huang still doesn't want to have a lot of fathers on his head in the future. Of course, Boss Huang has never been stingy about cash rewards. After this battle, all employees who participated in the negotiation of local convenience stores, Received a huge reward of about 1 to 3 US dollars, it can be said that the entire BLM company became rich overnight.

Boss Huang's willingness to spend so much money is of course also related to the sales of the blind box Huahuang Rewards in the US market.

Although the sales scene of the blind box Huahuang Rewards in the United States has not reached the exaggerated level of Fusang, there are a large number of people queuing up at the entrance of all convenience stores.

In contrast, in the United States, it is rare to see a queue at the door of a convenience store, but this does not mean that the sales volume is not good.

Because the United States has a large population and a very vast area, and this time it is a convenience store alliance, which is no longer limited to a chain of convenience stores of a certain brand, so there will be 7 or [-] convenience stores selling blind boxes at the same time on one street. Huahuangshang is not like Fusang, where there is only one convenience store on a street, so naturally it is impossible to have a large number of queues.

However, the posture of Americans buying the blind box Huahuang Rewards is very different.

Fusang people usually buy blind boxes of Huahuang Rewards by lottery. One person buys 5 pieces, and then queues up to buy them again, and so on.

But Americans are different. The way Americans buy is to directly package.

That's right, they directly bought a whole set of blind box Huahuang Rewards.

Because of the different exchange rates, in the United States, the price of a blind box Huahuang reward is 7 dollars, and a set of blind box Huahuang reward is 560 U.S. dollars. For many Americans, this is not a lot of money at all.

But in this way, you can directly get a full set of 11 different Pokémon clockwork dolls, avoiding the situation of incomplete collection due to other people buying in the middle.

And these convenience stores are also slick, and their purchase price is 392% off, which is [-] US dollars.

So they simply launched a discounted price of $500 for package boards, which is a full $60 cheaper than normal draws. Many people think it is very favorable, so they directly package boards.

According to post-event statistics, more than 70% of the rewards were sold through package printing, and only 30% of the rewards were actually taken away. This fully reflects the difference in civilization between the United States and Japan.

Well, the situation of Huaxia people is different, Huaxia is poor.

And even though the sales volume of the US market in the previous week was far inferior to that of the Fusang market...the Fusang market sold a total of three batches of goods in a week, exceeding 22 sets.After that, 30 sets were replenished one after another within a month, and until one month later, the sale was stopped according to the rules and the print was declared out of print, a total of 52 sets were sold.

The U.S. market is a bit special, because the two batches of stores were signed after a full month, so the first batch of Pokémon Blind Box Huahuang Rewards was announced to be discontinued and out of print after two months of sales.

In this way, 1 sets were sold in the first week after the sale started.

But one month later, this data increased to 21 sets.

And as all the production capacity in the next month can be provided to the US market, and as time continues to ferment, more and more players are interested, so the sales in the second month far exceed the first month. The final total sales reached 2 sets, which was 1/74 more than the Fusang market.

It is worth mentioning that, because the sales price in the US market is actually the most expensive among the three markets, Jiangnan Group can actually earn a net profit of US$300 for a set of blind box Huahuang rewards.

The 74 sets are 2.2 million US dollars, which is nearly twice that of the entire Fusang market... However, because this income needs to be shared equally with the Miguo Priority Group, the final figure earned is the same as that of the Fusang market.

Although Jiangnan Group and Miguo Priority are not listed companies, there is no need to publish financial reports, so outsiders don't know how much money Jiangnan Group has made.

But Xiyou Trading Co., Ltd. is a genuine listed company, and they need to announce their financial reports every quarter, so the profits earned by Xiyou Trading Co., Ltd. from the Blind Box Huahuang Award will be announced soon.

Because 7 different blind box Huahuang rewards had been sold when it was announced, the total profit reached an astonishing 2.1 million US dollars, accounting for 12.75% of the quarterly revenue of the entire Nishiyu Trading Company at that time, which was an extremely astonishing and terrifying achievement.

As soon as this result was announced, everyone in Nintendo was astonished.

You know, the profit they obtained through the various copyright authorizations of Pokémon in a year is only tens of millions of dollars. In the end, they just released a set of blind box Huahuang rewards, and they made such a terrifying profit. It is to hoist Nintendo's peripheral profitability and play well.

So Nintendo followed suit, and soon announced that they would sell blind boxes of Huahuang Rewards, and the star products among them are naturally various game IPs of their own.

Of course, their product is not called Blind Box Huahuangshang, because this name has been registered as an exclusive trademark by Jiangnan Group, and they finally took a name called Tiantangshang.

Then I was told that the Paradise Rewards had already been registered, and the registered party was none other than Jiangnan Group, which directly made Nintendo roll their eyes and curse shamelessly.

Then investigate again, good guy, Jiangnan Group has registered more than 200 different trademarks with the word reward at the end of the name in one go. registered.

In desperation, Nintendo could only name itself Nintendo Reward, but fortunately, this name has not been registered, because it cannot be registered either.

At the beginning, with the huge popularity generated by the blind box Huahuang Rewards, as well as the expectations and love of users for Nintendo, the sales of Paradise Rewards were not bad, and about 10 copies were sold in the first week.

But soon.All kinds of bad reviews appeared overwhelmingly on Fusang Weibo.

That's right, Fusang also has Weibo now. After all, Miguo is Fusang's father, and if his father's company wants to enter the Fusang market, who would dare to object?

However, the Fusang market itself does not have a well-established social media website, and Fusang people generally do not like the psychology of change.

So just like Yahoo was able to successfully resist Google's offensive after occupying Fuso's search market, and is still the overlord of the entire Fuso search website.

In the market where Weibo entered Fusang, it is logical to rely on the first-mover advantage to occupy the entire market. Even the social networking sites established by many Fusang people themselves will not be able to shake this situation at all.

All in all, with the release of Nintendo Rewards, a large number of buyers soon posted various dynamics on Weibo, and these dynamics were all complaints about Nintendo Rewards.

The design is not novel enough, and it is just a complaint that it is a pure immovable figure.

The problem is that many users have posted quite bizarre things, such as some figures missing fingers, some figures with very weird expressions, and some figures simply overflowing with color and so on.

Anyway, there are 1000 different questions for 1000 Nintendo rewards, but this is also normal. After all, Nintendo is only a game maker. They have no ability to make peripherals at all, and can only entrust peripherals to other manufacturers for production.

As for Nintendo, there are two words of meanness engraved in its bones, so naturally it will not find those expensive well-known manufacturers to manufacture, but all of them are some unknown small factories, and the result will naturally explode in word-of-mouth and become a joke.

What's even more frightening is that such a bad situation didn't just happen once. Afterwards, several Nintendo Rewards all had the same result, and even worsened the situation, so that the last issue of Zelda figure appeared. As long as the protagonist Link moves a little, his head will fall directly, achieving the decapitation achievement.

It's fine if it's just beheading, but the problem is that the shape of the entire Link figure has been completely transformed into a god, comparable to the famous evil god Sbaer back then.

The entire Nintendo was scolded bloody, and finally had no choice but to withdraw the product line of Heavenly Rewards in embarrassment, and then became more determined to only make games, and resolutely refused to touch other things.
