Reborn in America: Starting as a California Resident

After several days of intensive preparations, June 1st, International Children's Day, finally arrived.

For the North American branch of the science fiction company, the real test has begun.

This newly formed team consists of only 65 members, most of whom are new faces who joined in the past two days.

Nevertheless, they have received intensive training personally instructed by Henry, becoming familiar with the features and gameplay of the two upcoming games—American Blocks and Pac-Man.

At dawn, as the first rays of sunlight touched the earth, the company employees, led by Henry and Robert, dressed in their uniforms and full of energy, prepared to meet the challenges that were about to begin.

To celebrate this important moment, Henry invited several street artists to perform, including magicians, clowns, and acrobats. Their wonderful performances attracted passersby to stop and watch, and the crowd gradually formed a beautiful scene.

Amidst waves of laughter and applause, the clock struck 8:59.

At Henry's command, the company doors slowly opened, officially welcoming the first batch of agents.

Henry never dreamed of conquering the entire American market single-handedly.

After all, the United States is a well-known republic, and in terms of organization, it is much stronger than the Soviet Union!

The cultural differences and autonomy of each state make physical market expansion extremely difficult. Without the help of local partners, any plan to quickly seize the market will be nothing but empty talk.

Because the number of attendees far exceeded expectations, Henry had to take crowd control measures while holding a microphone: "Thank you all very much for coming to the Sci-Fi Arcade."

I know that everyone is gathered here today for one purpose only: to learn about and become the distributor of the games "American Blocks" and "Pac-Man".

However, because everyone's enthusiasm has exceeded our expectations, we need to take some temporary measures to ensure that every partner has a good experience.

Please be patient; we will receive you in batches according to the order of registration.

In fact, Henry had considered finding a larger place to host the dealers, but then he thought that he should make them follow the rules of science fiction arcade games.

After all, this is the only way to allow visiting agents to more directly experience the corporate culture and work atmosphere of the sci-fi arcade game.

Henry believed that a good start meant half the battle was won, and this event was the perfect opportunity to showcase their strength.

Let's start in Pennsylvania!

Each group consists of friends from ten different states coming together to experience the showroom.

Each company can send a maximum of three people.

We hope everyone can understand and support us.

As soon as he finished speaking, Liam and Lucas led a hundred security guards to form a human wall to maintain order.

Of these, only ten team leaders were former security personnel of the Getty family;

The rest are all newly recruited.

Due to the impact of the war in previous years, it was not easy for veterans to find jobs in America, so when Henry announced that he was recruiting experienced veterans, the positions were quickly filled.

Today, Henry and Robert split up into two groups.

Robert mainly stayed in the exhibition hall, introducing the game's operation methods, precautions, and prices to everyone.

Taking into account factors such as shipping costs and tariffs from the Hong Kong factory to the United States, the "American Block" is priced at $3299 per unit, while the "Pac-Man" is even more expensive at $3499.

This price is no small amount these days!

For an average family, it can easily cover several months' worth of living expenses, including food, rent, and daily necessities.

Of course, if you use it to pay for large purchases, it's enough to buy a brand new mid-range car or make a down payment on a decent house.

Even so, everyone's enthusiasm remained undiminished.

For those who want to make a name for themselves in the game console market, the biggest concern is the huge returns on their investment.

In the early stages of the booming video game industry, the profitability of an arcade machine was almost immediate.

Given the current popularity of arcade games, especially their influence among teenagers, these gaming devices have become an indispensable part of almost any entertainment venue.

Bars, shopping malls, cinemas, and even small convenience stores are willing to make room for these arcade machines simply because the extra revenue they generate is undeniable.

Considering that the main costs of arcade operation are venue rental and electricity consumption, the actual net profit margin is very high.

Assuming a Pac-Man arcade machine can attract hundreds of players per day, with each game costing 25 cents, it can generate tens or hundreds of dollars in revenue in just one day.

If a location has several arcade machines and a stable daily customer flow, the revenue generated within a week can be quite substantial.

For agents, this means they can recoup their initial investment and start making a profit in just a few weeks or even less.

More importantly, with the addition of more agents and the deployment of more arcade machines, this "terrifying" money-making ability can grow exponentially, eventually forming a huge revenue network.

By testing the waters of the science fiction market in Southeast Asia, they have no worries about the adaptability of the two games to the much larger American market.

It is precisely because of this market prospect that the distributors spared no effort to win the distribution rights for "American Blocks" and "Pac-Man".

Meanwhile, Henry himself went to the company's high-level conference room to prepare for a face-to-face meeting with the key agents there.

The top-ranked agent was someone he actively recruited through family connections!

"Henry, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Neil, the Texas distributor, smiled and extended his hand. "I am Neil Bush, and it is a great honor to be able to represent your company's products."

"Neil, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come."

I am very excited about this collaboration and believe that "American Blocks" and "Pac-Man" will become shining stars in the Bush family's business empire.

Indeed, this young man, whose full name is Neil Mallon Bush, is the third son of George Herbert Walker Bush (the elder Bush), the former director of the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States.

He just received his MBA from the University of Touraine this year and is actively seeking opportunities to showcase his business talents.

As the person who best understood the Bush family's future political achievements, Henry naturally needed to make some advance investments...
