The little fatty felt very sad because when it was his turn to line up, the shop assistant apologetically said that all the "Yu-Gi-Oh" cards had been sold out, and the new stock would arrive tomorrow at the soonest.
This made the little fatty want to cry, but no tears came out. However, Fusang has a good habit, that is, all Fusangpeople are very easy to accept the rules, and they abide by the rules, and there are generally few people who cause trouble.
For example, after the convenience store announced that it was sold out, the customers who were still in line did not angrily curse, but obediently dispersed, and none of them vented their dissatisfaction.
Of course, it's not that they were not dissatisfied, but they habitually suppressed their dissatisfaction and hid it in their hearts. This is one of the characteristics of Fusang people.
Back to normal, after the little fatty found out that the cards were sold out, he could only go home helplessly, and then he kept thinking about the battle plate of the local tyrant in his mind, even in his dreams. When he woke up the next morning, his pillow was wet with saliva.
"Ahhhhh! No, I must get a battle plate!!! " The little fatty howled. Then, he took out his bank card without hesitation, intending to withdraw 100,000 yen from the bank.
The little fatty is a playwright who has just stepped into society. He usually relies on writing some scripts for some game companies to make money. This 100,000 yen is the savings he painstakingly saved for a year.
This money was originally intended to be used to buy a house in Tokyo, but now the little fatty can't care so much.
"Forget it, anyway, the down payment for a single apartment in Tokyo is more than 5 million yen. When will I be able to afford a house? It's better to change to a battle plate, and have some fun!" In this way, the little fatty took the money he planned to save for the down payment of a house and rushed to buy "Yu-Gi-Oh" cards.
However, the problem was that Little Fatty ran around for an entire day and almost went to all the nearby 7-Eleven convenience stores. However, he found that all the stores did not have any combat hand plates. They were all sold out.
"Oh my God!" The little fatty let out a cry. If he knew, he would have spent 100,000 yen to buy the battle plate yesterday.
The little fatty wailed. He didn't know that as he was wailing, someone was laughing sinisterly.
"President, the data is out. Perfect data!" At the same time, in the Fusang Daqian branch, Ichiro Honda handed two reports to Boss Jia with dark circles under his eyes.
This is the sales report sent by Ito Hanayo, which records the sales data of the 7-Eleven convenience store in detail.
The other one was the purchase list sent by the Dessert Store Managers Association. Because the Dessert Store Managers Association couldn't calculate the sales volume, they could calculate the market's popularity based on their next purchase volume.
Boss Jia first looked at the report of the 7-Eleven Convenience Store. Ten, ten, ten, ten thousand … After Boss Jia used up a lot of his eyes, he finally saw the total sales yesterday. It actually reached three billion yen.
In just one day, the sales of Yu-Gi-Oh cards in the 7-Eleven convenience store reached a terrifying figure of 3 billion yen.
"Wait, I remember that the total number of items we ordered in the 7-Eleven convenience store yesterday was only 3 billion!" Boss Jia's little finger twitched violently.
"That's right. All the goods that we sent out yesterday were sold out by 7-Eleven in just one day. That's why they asked for another 3 billion worth of goods today!" Honda Ichiro said with a smile.
"Impossible, how can it be so much? According to our calculations, the best result is only about 1 billion in sales!" Boss Jia said with some disbelief. Before the goods were officially sold, Ichiro Honda found a professional research company to conduct a market survey.
In the end, they concluded that the sales volume of Yu-Gi-Oh on the first day should not exceed 1 billion yen. This was because although there were many readers of Yu-Gi-Oh, the card battle game of Yu-Gi-Oh was a brand new game that hadn't been recognized by the majority of players, so the number of players it could really attract might not be many. In the end, they concluded that the sales volume for the first day would not exceed 1 billion yen.
Boss Jia agreed with this conclusion. He felt that it would be quite good if the sales volume on the first day could exceed 500 million yen. This was because in history, Yu-Gi-Oh didn't become popular overnight. It accumulated over time and finally became the number one card game in all of Fusang.
However, the final result on the first day was 3 billion. This was something Boss Jia never expected. Even Boss Jia thought it was crazy.
"President, this is only the data from the 7-Eleven convenience store. According to the Dessert Store Managers Association's orders worth a total of 2 billion yen, this means that the 2 billion cards we put in the dessert stores all over the country in the early stages are basically all sold out!"
"That's 5 billion in total!!" Boss Jia sucked in a breath of cold air. Even Boss Jia himself was completely stunned by this data.
"Why? Why did the data exceed the previous time by so much? "Boss Jia couldn't help but ask.
"President, the credit goes to the battle plates this time!" Honda Ichiro quickly said, "Look carefully here. All the battle plates in the convenience store and the dessert store have been exchanged."
"All gone!" Boss Jia touched his head. He put a total of 20000 battle plates in the country, and Boss Jia thought that these battle plates would not be used up for at least a week. He never expected that all the battle plates would be exchanged in just one day.
It couldn't be helped. With Boss Jia's advanced concept and Liu Nian's casual design, the battle plates were just ordinary toys in the future in Jia Yapeng's eyes. There was nothing special about them.
But in 1993, the battle plates with sound, marquee, and automatic card draw were simply the best toys in the world. Even many players who didn't pay much attention to "Yu-Gi-Oh" couldn't help but want to get their hands on the battle plates when they saw them.
One had to know that a battle plate required 100,000 yen of "Yu-Gi-Oh" cards to exchange. 20000 battle plates represented at least 2 billion sales. It didn't seem strange that the sales reached 5 billion in the end.
"President, do you want to restock immediately?" Honda Ichiro asked immediately. After all, there were still 100,000 boxes of battle plates in the warehouse.
"No need!" Jia Yapeng pondered for a while and waved his hand slowly. Then, he smiled and said, "But we can open our battle club in advance!"
Yes, now was the time when the players were hungry. They had to be kept in suspense. They couldn't be satisfied too quickly. That was the essence of marketing!
Therefore, all the convenience stores and snack shops posted a notice to inform the buyers that because the Daqian didn't expect the battle plates to be so popular, there was no stock left. They had to transfer the stock from Hua Xia at the last minute. It would take at least a week for the stock to arrive. Therefore, they hoped that the players would wait patiently.
The Fusang players who couldn't get their hands on the battle plates with 100,000 yen suddenly wailed. The next day, the sales of "Yu-Gi-Oh" cards plummeted from 5 billion to 1 billion.
But this was normal because the true fans of "Yu-Gi-Oh" would usually get their hands on "Yu-Gi-Oh" cards on the first day. Those who wanted to get their hands on the battle plates would hold onto their wallets and wait for the next week to arrive. Only a few ordinary players and customers would spend money to buy the cards.
With just these customers, it was already quite good to have 1 billion sales on the second day.
At this time, the players of "Yu-Gi-Oh" were not only eyeing the battle plates, but they were also gradually becoming restless about the illustration handbooks.
Take the little fatty for example. After spending 10,000 yen, the little fatty's illustration handbook was only missing a few dozen cards. Looking at the illustration handbook that was always missing some cards, the little fatty couldn't help but have the urge to fill it up.
If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to wait for a week for the new battle plates to be released, Little Fatty would have gone to buy cards again.
But in this week's time, Little Fatty could only look at the missing parts of the illustration handbook every day. He was itching unbearably.
"Maybe I can find someone to exchange for the cards. Maybe someone else has a few cards that I don't have!" Little Fatty pondered. It was easy to exchange for the cards, but the problem was that Little Fatty didn't know where to find someone to exchange for the cards.
Little Fatty was now an adult, not a student. He didn't have a natural gathering point like a school. He couldn't just ask anyone on the street if they wanted to exchange for the cards.
Just as Little Fatty was scratching his head, an important piece of news suddenly appeared in the middle of the new episode of "Yu-Gi-Oh".
The Daqian Group opened 100 "Yu-Gi-Oh" cafes all over Fusang to allow "Yu-Gi-Oh" enthusiasts to gather and experience the charm of "Yu-Gi-Oh" together. They welcomed all players to the cafes for interaction.
"That's great!" Little Fatty almost jumped up in excitement when he saw the news.
