Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

"What did you say?!"

In the office, the young boss looks at his employees in shock.

The employee explained the whole story to the boss just now, but it seemed that he still couldn't believe it.

"Youxing Electronic Entertainment has launched a cheap version of the game console. The price of the game console is only fifty dollars, and each game only costs five dollars. If you get tired of playing, you can go to the official store to buy other games for one dollar. , it’s almost like renting a different game and playing it for a dollar.”

"How is it possible! How could they lower the price of the game console to such a low level? How did they do it?! Obviously they are a big company, and the cost of making games is definitely higher than ours!"

"This... I don't know either."

In fact, most people in the United States don't know much about the history of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

They only know that this company comes from Japan and has launched the acclaimed SFC and GB game consoles.

But they didn't know what Zhu Youxing had done in Japan before.

Because FC’s positioning at the beginning was relatively outdated, Zhuyouxing did not plan to release this product in the United States. At that time, he felt that it was not necessary, and the games on SFC could already meet the needs of American players.

But I didn't expect a group of spoilers to appear suddenly, trying to destroy the game industry, so this game console was launched in the United States in this cheap way.

Anyway, the entire FC production line is almost equivalent to waste utilization, and the profit is definitely less than that of SFC, but Zhuyouxing believes that as the demand of players becomes higher, they will abandon FC sooner or later, and turn to play games with better graphics and more interesting quality. game.

First use low-priced and fun enough games to set a standard for players.

This is a fun game, not the kind of rubbish you imagined. When you play our fun games, even if those rubbish games are in front of your eyes, you will definitely abandon them. In this way, the market will return to the positive direction cycle.

Listening to the employee's repeated return, the young boss gritted his teeth.

Zhu Youxing's trick is a bit of a draw from the bottom, leaving them who make garbage games with little room for survival.

Because Zhuyouxing is already sold cheaply to a certain extent, it is almost difficult to make games that are cheaper than this.

If they want to force it, of course it’s not impossible, they can also lower it to about five dollars, anyway, it’s just copying and pasting the code.

But I'm really not reconciled, obviously I can make more money.

He soon realized that this was Yuxing Electronic Entertainment trying to completely squeeze their living space to death.

"Damn Youxing Electronic Entertainment, they are killing our game industry in the United States. They want the Japanese to completely monopolize our game industry in the United States. They must not be allowed to achieve this goal!"

The young boss rolled his eyes quickly, and then quickly picked up the phone.

"Hello? Brother Glass, that's right, it's me. Have you heard about Yuxing Electronic Entertainment? What? You've heard about it too? Then what do you think?"

...

"That's right! This damn company is targeting us, and we have to fight back! Otherwise we'll all be wiped out!"

...

"Wait a minute, listen to me first, my suggestion is to repay them with the same low price! We can also lower it to five dollars a box of games, but we will make less money, but Yuxing Electronic Entertainment will definitely suppress us in order to suppress us. They are competing at a loss, and we can completely fight them!"

...

"That's right! That's it, my brother! Let's adjust the sales price together, so that the Japanese company can take a good look at how good we Americans are! We must not admit defeat!"

Click!

The young boss hung up the phone, his expression gradually becoming gloomy.

"Tell the marketing department that we're changing the sale price so everything is only five dollars!"

After the employee heard it, he said weakly: "Then shall we follow up the one-dollar redemption game?"

"You idiot, we'd die instantly if we did that! We'd at least make a little profit on a five-dollar box of games, and we'd be dying for a dollar!"

"But we still don't have much competition..."

"Let's look at the situation first, if it's really not good, let's lower the price of the game again, we must not let Yuxing Electronic Entertainment succeed!"

"Okay, I'll do it now!"

The employee immediately ran out of the office to complete the boss's order.

But not long after, another employee ran in in a panic again.

"Boss! No, we're being sued!"

The young boss's heart thumped again, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

"Who is suing us?"

The employee who rushed in took a freshly delivered court letter and handed it to the boss,

The boss quickly unpacked and checked, and then felt a little dark in front of his eyes.

Inside was a subpoena from the court and a lawyer's letter from Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

'Dear *** company, in the process of collecting evidence through our multiple verifications, we found that many of your company's video game products have the shadow of our company's code, and we seriously suspect that your company has used shameless acts to copy copies Our company's game codes are used to make profits, which has brought us irreparable losses. According to the Digital Copyright Protection Law, now our company orders your company to stop digital infringement immediately, and you will also face our lawsuit...'

Generally, the lawyer's letter will warn in advance, and then the court summons will arrive only if the warning fails.

But this time, the two documents arrived at the same time, which means that Youxing Electronic Entertainment has started to go through the judicial process.

"Where is our company's lawyer? Where is our company's lawyer? Contact him quickly!"

The young boss roared loudly.

He seemed a little hysterical at the moment, no longer as calm as before.

Soon, the lawyer hurried to the young boss and checked the court summons and lawyer's letter in person.

The lawyer showed a solemn expression: "Boss, you are indeed suspected of infringement, but it is not without any room for change."

Hearing the lawyer's words, the young boss' eyes lit up: "Can it be saved?"

"Rescue can definitely be rescued to a certain extent. First, delete all suspected infringement codes first, and then I will deal with the rest. In the United States, this is our territory. They are outsiders, and the court will be more inclined to us. , especially if we are still considered weak, the jury can also deal with it, but the process will be very long."

"The process is very long... Does this mean that Youxing Electronic Entertainment will continue to pay huge sums of money for prosecution?"

The lawyer nodded: "That's right, they will also pay the same price as us, and even in order to make themselves more beneficial, they will pay more than us to maintain their advantage."

"Very well, then we can procrastinate, procrastinate forever!"
