Then came the Daqian Printing Factory. This company was originally bought by Boss Jia in a fit of pique, but now it had a new lease of life. Under the management of Director Liu, the Daqian Printing Factory applied for more than 20 world-class patents. They even had the guts to borrow money from the bank to buy equipment. Then, they bought a large factory in the Daqian base for free. Now, it was the number one printing factory in Hua Xia. The number of workers had also increased to about 6,000. This company basically took over the entire high-end printing business in Hua Xia.
Yes, that's right. Under Director Liu's decisive management, the Daqian Printing Factory spent a lot of money to buy high-end printing equipment. On the other hand, they sold half a star low-end printing equipment. Then, they completely gave up on the low-end printing market such as newspaper printing or ordinary magazine printing. They specialized in all kinds of special printing and high-definition printing.
Because all kinds of printing technology were unique in the country, the Daqian Printing Factory's business was still endless. More than half of the business was from overseas. After a year, not only did they pay back the original loan, but they also made tens of millions of dollars in profits.
Anyway, Director Liu still acted like an old man in front of Boss Jia. He even called Boss Jia a child, which made Boss Jia feel very helpless.
Then there was Biri Biri. Compared to last year's high-spirited Wang Xuan, the current Wang Xuan was much older. Boss Jia even found that Wang Xuan was starting to look like a Mediterranean man.
After all, Wang Xuan was not even 35 years old now!
Oh, it was natural for a 35-year-old middle-aged man to look like a Mediterranean man. However, when he saw Wang Xuan last year, he was still a teenager with thick hair!
"Biri Biri continued to focus on the custom software market this year. Our profits increased by 60% compared to last year!" Wang Xuan reported absent-mindedly.
"I don't care about that!" Boss Jia waved his hand and said, "I just want to know how my system is doing."
"Boss, it's too difficult for me!" Speaking of the system, Wang Xuan was about to cry. He touched his forehead, which was getting brighter by the day, and cried, "Chairman, it's too difficult. This system is too difficult. I really can't do it!"
"Then why don't we stop?" Boss Jia laughed.
"No, then all my previous efforts would have been for nothing!" Wang Xuan was even sadder now.
"Then what exactly do you want by crying in front of me?"
"I just want my hair!"
In the end, Wang Xuan left in a good mood. To be honest, Bili Bili did not achieve anything this year. However, Bili Bili's foundation is still there. Bili Bili Bili might suffer a loss.
In fact, if the cost of developing the system was calculated, Biri Biri had already made a loss, and it was a huge loss of hundreds of millions of RMB.
However, Boss Jia didn't care. Boss Jia was actually very concerned about the system. According to Boss Jia's understanding, Boss Jia didn't care about the system at all. In a year's time, Wang Xuan had led more than 200 programmers to construct the basic framework of the mobile phone system. The framework of the computer system was also in the process of being constructed.
However, the price was that Wang Xuan was going bald. He was about to go crazy. That was why he went to Boss Jia to vent his anger.
Wang Xuan had the guts to use our Boss Jia to vent his anger. Wang Xuan was probably crazy.
But then again, Bili Bili was now a money-burning machine. It would burn more and more money, but the future was promising. Moreover, when Wang Xuan reported his work to Boss Jia, he gave a very shocking idea. At the same time, he took out a sample for Boss Jia to see. As for whether to use it, Boss Jia was still hesitating.
Compared to Wang Xuan's balding middle-aged man, his old friend and colleague Zhong Yu was getting more and more proud. It couldn't be helped. Now, Daqian Games had become the Daqian company with the best performance. It was the pillar of the Daqian industry.
Not only did it have a variety of world-famous games, but more importantly, it had the Thousand Machine Gaming Handheld. In Zhong Yu's words, Thousand Machine Gaming Handheld had completely taken over the handheld market. Other than its amazing historical accumulation, there was nothing else worth praising.
Daqian Games had also become one of the most important subsidiaries of Daqian Group. It was definitely the pillar of the company.
Zhong Yu's words were not wrong. At the end of January 1997, the global sales of Thousand Machine Gaming Handheld had exceeded 20 million units. At the same time, with the large-scale production, the cost of the product was constantly decreasing. Now, Thousand Machine Gaming Handheld was selling for 199 USD per unit, and the profit was more than 60 USD per unit.
20 million Thousand Machine Gaming Handheld was more than 1.2 billion USD in net profit.
In addition, Daqian Games released a total of 33 games this year. This didn't include StarCraft and Pokemon Kim Silver released by Blizzard Studio.
Among these 33 games, other than Fated Night, Racing Kartrider, Animal Forest Committee, and a few other games that were personally directed by Boss Jia, the other games were all developed by Daqian Games' subsidiaries.
In fact, compared to the games that Boss Jia was personally involved in, he cared more about the games developed by Daqian Games. This was because these games had nothing to do with his previous life. Boss Jia, the butterfly, desperately flapped its wings in this life to create games that had never existed in his previous life.
Then, Zhong Yu handed the detailed sales data of these 33 games to Boss Jia. In fact, there were some repetitions in these 33 games. This was because a game could have a PC version, a console version, a handheld version, and so on.
Therefore, many of the 33 games were different versions of the game. There were only 21 original games.
Among the 21 games released by Second Generation was Racing Kartrider, which had a total sales of 24 million copies.
The first release was the N64 console version, but this version was already out of print. There were no more N64 game cartridges on the market.
Maybe in a few years, a factory director will buy the N64 version of Racing Kartrider from him at a high price to make a video.
Next was the Thousand Machine Gaming Handheld version of Racing Kartrider. Other than that, there were also PS and PC versions released one after another. This game alone occupied three versions. In total, 24 million copies were sold. According to the profit of 20 USD per copy, this was another 480 million USD in net profit.
However, the following games were not as good as "Crazyracing Kartrider". The second most popular game was "Animal Forest Committee". This casual game was only released in the Thousand Machine Edition, but it unexpectedly sold 7 million copies.
The third game was a game that Boss Jia had never heard of in his previous life. It was called Shenmu Continent. It was an RPG game.
It was also the most recent RPG game that was second only to the newly released Final Fantasy 6. This game had achieved good sales in Fusang, Europe, and America. It was about a human novelist who transmigrated to a different world called Shenmu Continent.
The reason why this game could attract everyone's attention and achieve high sales was because of its imaginative setting.
According to the setting of Shenmu Continent, all the humans in this world were not born from women. Instead, they were born from a book called Shenmu, which was like a fruit.
In other words, the women in this world never knew the joy between men and women until the protagonist, who was an earthling, transmigrated.
From this introduction, it could be seen how attractive this game was. It sold out in an instant. Now, in order to promote this game, Dynasty Animation had started to produce a TV animation of Shenmu Continent.
There were a lot of protests from Dynasty Animation. They felt that the plot and style were insulting animation. If it wasn't for Boss Jia suppressing them, they would have really quit.
It could be seen how happy the plot of Shenmu Continent was to be able to force Dynasty Animation to this point.
However, Boss Jia didn't care if it was H or not. As long as it could make money, it was a good thing. Therefore, the Shenmu Continent project team received a huge bonus of 1 million US dollars. After all, their game had already made 140 million US dollars in profit. This bonus had to be given.
In addition, the planner in charge of the plot was called Canglan. He received an additional 200,000 US dollars bonus. It was said that this guy was now full of inspiration and was preparing a game script called I Am the Strongest in the Milky Way But I Don't Have a Girlfriend. It was unknown if it would sell. [PS: To be honest, do you think this title is attractive?]
