Please make money.

"Guess how much it is, take a bold guess——"

"seven!"

"five--"

"Four!"

"Three-nine-nine!"

"Two! Two!"

Finally the sound waves converged into two, and everyone felt that 299 was the most surprising and slightly more likely.

As for 199 or something like that, I'm afraid Alia is not making any money, and has to even lose money selling the hardware at cost price.

"What makes everyone so restrained that they dare not speak down?"

Alia stopped the screen, and the price of 199 was enlarged again and again, occupying the entire stage frame that was 16 meters high and 42 meters wide.

"I said, this is my gift to the world, so for one hundred and ninety-nine, plus one dollar, you can choose two of the eight game cartridges. That's right, not just one, but two!"

"In the next ten years, parents will probably scold me for being a heretic!"

"But it doesn't matter. Twenty years later, the new generation will remember today, remember that I once stood here and did everything for them!"

As she spoke, Alia opened a box, and inside the box was a yellow GBA handheld game console.

"So to further please the kids, I also made this, Game Boy Advance, GBA, or you can call it Little Game Boy Advance."

"I said that I want to let everyone experience the fun of technology. This is the promise I have fulfilled - adults have their own mobile phones, and children can also have their own handheld game consoles. This handheld game console also supports online battles. Go find your friends! Having one or more friends to play games with you will be a luxury for you in the future, so enjoy the happiest childhood while you are young and carefree!"

The initial price of the GBA handheld was 9800 yen in another world line, but this time Alia gave it 189 national yuan.

For an extra dollar, you can get an extra online communication cable.

And for an extra 10 bucks, you can get a pair of rechargeable batteries with a charging device.

As a truly portable handheld game console that uses AA batteries, GBA consumes too much power.

The theoretical 15 hours of battery life provided by a pair of batteries is totally inadequate...

If Alia does not provide the purchase of rechargeable batteries, it is obvious that children in the future will fall into a horrific battery consumption cycle.

Alia had even foreseen a scene where they would skip breakfast, save money to buy two batteries, and even bite them once before using them.

So the price of the complete version of this thing is also two hundred. Alia just played a little trick to make it thinner than a one-dollar coin.

All I can say is that people always change. Alia has also changed. She has become a profiteer in order to make money by selling goods.

But there is no other way. She has to support so many employees, so she can only make the players and customers suffer.

As for how competitors would react after hearing these words - what does it have to do with me? If you don't agree, come and touch me!

The arrogant Alia finally threw a screenshot of two bracelets and slipped away. She was too lazy to introduce herself and just looked at the screen herself.

She said she was tired and drank water tactically, took photos with the fan girl, and even signed the GBA on display and gave it to her.

Many years later, this thing was bought at a huge price, even to the level of a house.

Because this is the demonstration machine numbered 04, and it is said to be the only GBA signed by Alia.

Alia didn't know that one of her autographs would be so valuable in the future. She sent the crying and laughing young lady off the stage, and the press conference entered the booth stage.

Guests began to flock to the booth to see the real objects. There were no gifts at this press conference - yes, there were gifts at this press conference.

Alia gave everyone a customized backpack. There was no LOGO, only the year number 2022, but it was definitely thick and durable.

Because this thing is the same model that Alia's mother used when she was an investigative reporter, Alia thought it was great and chose it.

Of course, this also gave rise to many famous scenes later on.

Competitors would never have thought that a durable backpack would be such an annoying background board...

Almost every press conference around the world could not escape the silhouettes of this group of technology media guests, and the sharp-eyed audience was even more keen to play the game of "spot the faults" with them.

After all, this period of time was just when these self-media were starting out, and Alia gave a gift for practical purposes, so who can be blamed?

Alia walked down the booth, and Sister Jing came over to rub her hands together: "Sister, I think the response is pretty good!"

"Whether it's good or not won't be known until we see the sales. Anyway, we have enough stock, so let's start selling them simultaneously."

The domestic pricing is different from the foreign pricing. Alia is mentally prepared for the buyer of the notebook to scold her.

Although a 7999 yen game console is half the price of a 15800 yen Sega or other competitive game consoles, it is still exaggerated compared to the domestic price of 200 yen.

According to the current exchange rate, 200 national yuan is equivalent to less than yen. Alia directly sells it at double the price. Isn't this robbing people?

"Also, block out the scolding from the notebook during this period. As long as I can't hear it, it's equivalent to nothing happening!"

"...?"

……

……

"Open the door! Open the door—"

Just as Yamashita finished watching the press conference, he heard the sound of someone knocking on the door.

It was more like banging on the door than knocking on it. The "dong dong dong" sound caused the rolling door to rattle.

What I know is - never mind what's out there - could it be zombies?

Shanxia took off his headscarf and put away his glow stick, then opened the small window on the side and looked out in confusion.

"Manager-san!" Several children looked up at him and asked, "Why don't you open the store?"

"...Do you want to buy anything?"

"GBA! Is it available?"

"I want FC - I can choose two cassettes for FC!"

"But you can just hold the GBA and play it, but for FC, you need to find a TV..."

"Let's go to my house! My house is quite big, everyone can just rest when they are tired of playing!"

Yamashita scratched his face and said, "I'm sorry, kid, the goods haven't arrived yet. They should arrive tomorrow."

"Eh? Are you kidding me? Didn't they say it was synchronized globally? Oh, Kasan, did you lie to us?"

"No way! Alia Oh Kasan would never lie. It must be her employees who concealed the truth!"

“That’s so abominable—”

The chattering children were clamoring, feeling very miserable as they had money in their hands but could not spend it.

Just as Shanxia was about to say a few words of comfort, he heard the phone ringing. He went back to answer the phone, hummed a few times, then turned around and opened the door.

"I have good news. Consortium B has already started shipping. Since we are very close to a warehouse, the goods will arrive soon!"

"really?"

"Well, so have you decided what to buy? The FC requires a TV, but it has two controllers."

The children discussed it for a while, and finally gritted their teeth and took out all the money: "This is all we have..."

Yamashita took a look and realized that this was indeed not enough. It was only 16,000 yen, not enough to buy a Sega game. If he changed it to one from Esing Technology... Hmm?

He was stunned at the thought of this, and turned back to pick up the small notebook, which had the selling price of the Japanese game console written on it.

FC red and white game console, 7999 yen, choose two from eight cartridges.

The GBA game console has the same price, but you can choose one of eight cartridges.

So, with this money they can actually buy both?

He opened the door directly: "Come in - did you watch the press conference just now?"

"Press conference? What press conference?"

"…Then how did you know about the release?"

"TV ads! Didn't Consortium B have a TV ad saying it was selling?"

"Do you know what the price is?"

"They didn't mention the price... We just saw an advanced version of Tamagotchi. What was it called? The one with the bug-catching boy?"

"You should be talking about Pokémon, but we only have promotional pictures and haven't seen the specific gameplay."

Yamashita took out a stack of posters, and the images of the three starter Pokémons, Charmander, Squirtle, and Garlic Turtle, were still so vivid.

"This character is the pinnacle of Silver Mountain, the legendary trainer of Alia and Kasan, right?"

"Well, but those are all news from interview magazines. We'll know the specific content after they are released."

"So, what's the price? Manager-san, can you recommend which one we should buy?"

"You have enough money to buy them together. I have already got the recommended selling price of the terminal. You can just buy one at the same time."

"Great! Much cheaper than Sega!"

Yamashita stroked his chin and suddenly realized something.

That is, never compare. As soon as you compare, there will be a gap.

Has Sega become a stepping stone for Aixing Technology?

"But let me make it clear in advance that if the game isn't fun, you can't return it."

"It's okay. We believe in Oh Kasan. She said she would give us the best childhood gift!"

"Oh my, you are so naive at this age. Moms are the best at lying..."

305-You are the only one playing tricks on me, Alia?

Adai looked at his phone anxiously, seeming a little restless.

The roommate next to me was confused: "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing - have you finished your paper?"

"Still writing, have you finished?"

"I failed the plagiarism check. It's quite troublesome."

"Hey, this is easy. Come on, treat me to a meal of dry fried beef noodles, and I'll take care of it!"

"…How do you do it?"

"I'll just read it to you once and that's it. Have you forgotten that I'm from Jinan?"

"Ah, this - I got a call. You write yours. I have something else to do."

Adai quickly ran out of the dormitory and went to the balcony, looking anxious.

Several roommates looked at each other suspiciously: "Could this boy be in love?"

"It doesn't look like..."

"Oh, don't tell me, it's really possible. He saved money by working part-time and living frugally. He even tried to rob Amy 1S before."

"Who wouldn't want to grab it? 700 yuan - Aima is really a god!"

"You call me Ai Ma too. You're only 18 years old, and your fans are going crazy..."

"You understand and you still call me mom, but that's not important. What's important is what's going on with Adai?"

"It seems he bought two before. Because of the restrictions on scalpers, each account is limited to one. He bought the one using my account."

"and then?"

"And then nothing happened. It seemed like he bought two or three. Didn't you see he only had one in his hand?"

"Good boy, you are trying to have the best of both worlds!"

“Could it be being a scalper?”

"Come on, there is no shortage of stock at all. I heard that the offline stores will be putting the products on the shelves soon. Ai Ma will lose a lot of money on this."

At present, the industry generally believes that there is no profit to be made from the 700 yuan Amy 1S that Alia has put out, and it is even possible to lose money after the costs of subsequent sales links are added.

In fact, this is true. At present, the terminal retail profit of an Amy 1S mobile phone is less than 20 yuan.

If rebates and the cost of excess inventory are taken into account, the cost is almost equal to the selling price.
