Chapter 126: Profiteering industry! (Please subscribe)
"What?"
In the general manager's office of VTech company, Wu Feng's eyes were sharp and his tone was very harsh: "The motherboard for the *Police Story* game has already been made, why didn't you notify me?"
"This..."
The manager of VTech company had sweat on his forehead and explained carefully: "Mainly, the Japanese side heard the news and strongly requested the company to postpone the release..."
Bang!
Wu Feng directly flipped the coffee table and pointed at the manager's nose to scold: "Is this how you do things?"
"Why, the big Japanese companies are hard to offend, but I am easy to offend, right?"
He sneered repeatedly, his eyes cold and sharp, but his tone became quite flat: "Do things according to the contract!"
After speaking, he didn't care about the other party's pale explanation and turned to leave directly.
"Send someone to contact Director Huang, and ask him to protect the newly developed arcade motherboard!"
When going out, Wu Feng didn't hesitate to tell his assistant: "Let the lawyer come over too!"
Really fucking bullshit!
Fortunately, he came to check the situation today; he didn't expect VTech company to play this hand with him?
The agreed arcade motherboard had already been developed, and what followed was originally just production and promotion, and finally collecting money.
As a result, they actually got the game motherboard stuck here.
And what about the strong request from the Japanese side? Damn, the first game motherboard developed was developed with his own money, and the copyright is still in his hands!
"Feng Ge, do you want to use some means on them?"
Out of VTech company, the close-body subordinate suggested in a low voice: "Don't worry, there won't be any hidden dangers!"
"Just scare them; no need to make too much noise!"
Wu Feng thought for a moment and ordered directly: "You don't need to show up; do it cleanly!"
"It's best that the people who show up don't know what's going on. Even if there is an accident later, at least there won't be too much aftermath!"
After speaking, he got into the seven-seater commercial vehicle and drove away.
That afternoon, the boss of VTech company had a traffic accident.
Although it was just a scrape, it was enough to scare him.
Then, he associated it with Wu Feng's threat in the morning, and immediately chickened out.
In fact, there are not many technology-based enterprises in Hong Kong.
VTech company is already considered a leader among them, mainly because they made home game consoles of their own brand, and the hot arcade games made in cooperation with Wu Feng, earning a lot.
But in Hong Kong, it still couldn't enter the eyes of those real estate developers!
In fact, Wu Feng really intended to continue cooperating with them.
It can be considered a move of buying a horse's bones with a thousand gold, preparing for the game company he opened.
The core of arcade games is creativity; as long as the creativity is sufficient and the story and plot design are reasonable, plus sufficient promotion and publicity, in the era when the game industry has not completely exploded, it is easy to eat until you are full of oil.
And a good creativity and plot design only need three or five people to collide ideas to get it out; it can be said that it is very suitable for the young entrepreneurial group in Hong Kong at the moment.
After all, arcade game development in Hong Kong at this time is also considered a job with considerable technical content, even if it is covered with a layer of high-tech skin, there is no sense of violation.
It's a pity that the man has feelings but the woman has no intention, so he can only give up cooperation and do it alone.
The next day, the previously affected cooperation continued, and everything was done according to the contract.
Wu Feng wouldn't intercept the benefits that should be shared, but this cooperation was just this once.
Soon, the *Police Story* arcade was made, and he already had experience.
After Wu Feng played it, he immediately understood why VTech company's development speed was so rapid.
Most of them are gunfight plots; although there are fighting plots, there are not many.
In this way, the template of the previous *A Better Tomorrow* can be completely used; as long as the background screen is done well, it is easy to make the corresponding motherboard.
Before launching to the market, he first invited the boss of Golden Harvest company and Cheng Shilong to experience it.
"Made it so fast?"
Cheng Shilong looked at the brand-new arcade machine and said with a surprised face: "And the plot and level design are quite good!"
Obviously, this guy should have been in contact with arcade machines; otherwise, he wouldn't be so 'professional'.
"That goes without saying!"
Wu Feng chuckled: "With the experience of developing the *A Better Tomorrow* arcade machine before, it's not difficult to make the *Police Story* arcade motherboard; it mainly depends on whether game fans like it!"
"Anyway, I definitely like it!"
Cheng Shilong was quite happy, pointing to the character on the screen and said: "Looking at myself killing all sides in the game, this feeling is very wonderful!"
Indeed, the character's big nose is very eye-catching; anyone who has seen the movie knows who it is.
"Wusheng, how many do you think the *Police Story* arcade can sell?"
Zou Wenhuai obviously didn't care about arcade games and just looked at it for a few glances without the intention of playing it himself.
When Wu Feng had time, he asked directly about the matter he cared about most.
Before coming, he also inquired about some market conditions; an arcade machine is about 15,000, and the profit is 10,000.
Such profit is indeed not low, but the key is to see how many can be sold.
If it sells as well as the *A Better Tomorrow* arcade, the income will be absolutely astonishing.
But this is definitely not what Zou Wenhuai wants to see.
The ears of He Guanchang and Cheng Shilong, who were playing excitedly, stood up immediately; obviously, they also attached great importance to this.
If it can really make a lot of money, isn't Cheng Shilong still having the *Asian Flying Eagle* series movie plan?
As a result, Wu Feng's answer almost made Zou Wenhuai break his defense directly.
"With the popularity of *Police Story*, at least 2,000 units in Hong Kong is not a problem!"
"Macau 300 to 500 units, Taiwan is a base of 5,000 units, and Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand are about 5,000 units; maybe more can be sold."
"The key is that Cheng Sheng has great influence in Japan, and it is estimated that several thousand units can be sold there. It's hard to estimate exactly how many; you also know the situation in Japan!"
Wu Feng naturally said less; don't talk big at this time. If the sales performance doesn't reach that level later, it will be a slap in the face.
But even so, Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang, and Cheng Shilong were all dumbfounded.
A careful calculation showed about 15,000 units, and the profit alone was 150 million.
This, this, this, is it a bit too exaggerated?
"Really, can really sell so many?"
There was a moment of silence in the room, and the heavy breathing of several people was particularly harsh.
Zou Wenhuai's voice was a bit deformed, but he still asked with difficulty: "Is it a bit too exaggerated?"
He Guanchang and Cheng Shilong didn't mean to speak, just staring at Wu Feng nervously.
"Exaggerated?"
Wu Feng chuckled: "You all have to look at it this way!"
"The *A Better Tomorrow* arcade was so hot, wasn't it borrowing the light of the *A Better Tomorrow* movie?"
"Is it possible that you all don't have confidence in Cheng Sheng's influence, or do you think *Police Story* is not as good as *A Better Tomorrow*?"
"We definitely have full confidence in A-Long!"
He Guanchang hurriedly took the conversation and said: "It's just that it's the first time to come into contact with the arcade game market, so I'm a bit confused!"
"Doesn't that settle it!"
Wu Feng laughed: "This time the *Police Story* arcade game will definitely be hot; you all just wait to hear the good news!"
But the more he was so sure, the worse Zou Wenhuai's mood became.
Damn, this is a staggering profit of 150 million.
If he had known, he would have wanted to participate in it, and he would have wanted to take the big share!
Now it's too late to say anything; the contract has been signed, and Golden Harvest really knows nothing about the game industry.
Even if they wanted to do some small moves, they didn't know how to do it?
After leaving Fengrui Film and Television, the stiff face was hard to maintain, and when he got into the car, he finally broke his defense.
"Bastard kid, actually daring to take such a big advantage of Golden Harvest; there will be a time when you look good later!"
In front of He Guanchang and Cheng Shilong, Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but curse directly.
He Guanchang and Cheng Shilong looked at each other, but it was not good to say anything to comfort Zou Wenhuai.
That is a staggering profit of 150 million; who wouldn't be shocked when hearing it?
Not to mention, they could have had a share of this money, but they knew nothing about the game industry and sold the adaptation rights directly for 50,000.
Now thinking about it, it's simply heartbreaking to the extreme!
On the other side, after sending away the Golden Harvest group, Wu Feng couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Sure enough, seeing that Golden Harvest Boss Zou's mood was not good, his mood at this time was exceptionally refreshing.
This old guy, still wanting to put on the airs of a senior, go dream.
After going through all the necessary procedures, VTech company grandly launched the *Police Story* arcade game, which quickly became popular in Hong Kong and Macau.
This time, Wu Feng was well prepared; not only was VTech company's motherboard production factory running at full capacity, but the arcade game motherboard factory built in the Mainland was also running at full capacity.
They produced 5,000 motherboards in one go, and after quickly assembling them into arcade machines, they immediately spread to the market.
Still the same sentence, the popularity of *Police Story* starring Cheng Shilong is still there; once the arcade game of the same name was launched, it quickly became popular in the market.
In a short period of time, Hong Kong and Macau took down 3,000 units, which is 30 million in profit!
When the procurement merchants from Taiwan came to the door, they opened their mouths for 3,000 units, which was quite generous!
And they also signed a follow-up letter of intent for procurement, estimating that the total demand in Taiwan is at least over 8,000 units; Cheng Shilong just has such a brand face.
No way, the *Contra* launched by Japan is indeed classic. But no matter how classic a game is, you will get tired of playing it for a long time; at this time, the *Police Story* arcade game was just launched, so how could it not be hot?
It can only be said that Japan did not continue to promote the development of related games, which may be related to the lack of enough wonderful stories; in short, Wu Feng made a lot of money this time.
This time, *Mong Kok News* followed up with reports, detailing the profiteering of arcade game development, which directly caused the exclamation of many viewers.
