"No, I have to see it with my own eyes!" Ever since the last incognito visit, although Yamauchi was furious, he seemed to have fallen in love with the feeling of visiting incognito.
Therefore, according to the information provided by his subordinates, he began to secretly observe how Daqian sold game cartridges.
According to this information, Boss Jia's biggest sales channel was naturally the 7-Eleven Convenience Store.
The next morning, Yamauchi rushed to the 7-Eleven Convenience Store closest to his company. He found that the 7-Eleven Convenience Store had become a sea of elves.
At the entrance of the 7-Eleven Convenience Store, there were two huge Pokemon posters. The area was about 3 meters x 1.5 meters. More than ten posters were put together and directly covered the entire outer wall of the 7-Eleven Convenience Store.
"Baka, the printing is even more beautiful than ours!" Yamauchi looked at the exquisitely printed posters and couldn't help but mutter.
First of all, in terms of the quality and size of the posters, Jia Yapeng's posters crushed Nintendo's stingy 0.75 x 0.5 posters by who knows how many times.
Nintendo's posters mainly focused on the gameplay of Pokemon, and the various gameplay instructions were different. The posters outside the 7-Eleven Convenience Store were much simpler. On them were pictures of cute elves.
Moreover, it wasn't just a simple picture, but many scenes of the elves interacting with each other.
There was a poster of Meow Meow using a wooden hammer to hit the Three Hamsters.
There was a poster of Fatty holding a crayon drawing on the belly of a sleeping Snorlax.
There was also a poster of Monster Strength with four hands grabbing a Carp King and putting it into a soup pot. The Carp King looked at Monster Strength's poster with a worried expression.
All in all, these posters were full of imagination, depicting the happy lives of elves one after another. Coupled with the adorable appearances of these elves, they were extremely lethal to any human.
Yamauchi directly saw countless children stop in front of these posters. They didn't want to leave, and all of them looked at the posters outside the 7-Eleven Convenience Store.
Although most of them were seven or eight years old, there was no lack of teenagers in their teens. Yamauchi even saw a man in his thirties drooling while looking at Huibu.
Countless onlookers were attracted by these posters.
"I must get rid of those bastards from the Publicity Department. They are all a bunch of scumbags!" Yamauchi cursed. Then, he couldn't help but walk into the 7-Eleven.
When he looked again, Yamauchi was dumbfounded.
This was because in the entire 7-Eleven convenience store, all the empty shelves were filled with all kinds of elfin plush toys.
As for the places that were not occupied by the plush toys, they were basically occupied by the dense crowd.
Most of them were Pikachu, followed by Pang Ding, followed by Yu Sanjia. All kinds of Pokemon dolls could be found everywhere in 7-Eleven.
"These plush toys can't be made in a short period of time. They were prepared a long time ago. Did Jia Yapeng already guess today's situation?" Yamauchi was shocked. Then, he saw the event notice in the store.
All the plush toys in the store were not for sale. Only by purchasing a copy of the Pokemon game cartridge would a random Pokemon doll be given out.
Then, Yamauchi saw countless children holding onto Pikachu or Pang Ding's plush toys and not letting go. They desperately wanted their mothers to buy one for them.
Although only a few parents would fork out 3,999 yen, there were still parents who couldn't help but pay.
And this was only the lowest price.
Here, Yamauchi also saw the light novel from last time. It was still being sold as a package. 3,999 yen for a game cartridge. You could still get a light novel for free.
Of course, you could only choose one between the light novel and the plush toy.
In addition, Yamauchi also saw that the Pokemon Crispy Noodle Snacks had all been displayed. The packaging of these Pokemon Crispy Noodle Snacks was full of pictures of various elves. A large number of people were lining up to buy them.
"These Pokemon Crispy Noodle Snacks were also printed at the last minute!" Yamauchi couldn't help but exclaim. A child next to him heard and couldn't help but roll his eyes. "What do you mean they were printed at the last minute? Since the release last year, the Pokemon Crispy Noodle Snacks have always been packaged like this, okay?"
"But I really didn't expect that the elves in the Pokemon Crispy Noodle Snacks weren't just mascots. They were actually made into a game. They must have prepared for this long ago. The Daqian is really amazing!"
While the child was talking, the little guy who was opening the packaging suddenly grabbed a card in his hand and jumped up excitedly. "I won, I won, I won Snorlax!"
"What's going on?" Yamauchi couldn't help but ask.
"This time, the Pokemon simply announced the release of the newest Pokemon card series a few days ago. The first issue has 20 cards, and Snorlax is the most difficult card to draw. If you draw one card, you can collect a set of Pokemon. It's enough to show off for a few days!" The child couldn't help but say enviously.
While they were talking, it was the child's turn to buy something. He jumped up immediately, took out a 5,000 yen bill, and shouted, "Give me a game cartridge. I want to buy a Pokemon game cartridge!"
Then the little guy spent the money and bought a Pokemon game cartridge. It seemed that he had also won something else.
"You're also interested in this game?" Yamauchi couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know if it's fun or not. I don't think I'll be able to play it even if I buy it. But as long as you buy the limited edition cartridge, you'll get a free Lu Bu flash card!"
"Oh my god, you don't know how hard it is to draw a Lu Bu card. I've tried five issues of cards. Out of the 100 Three Kingdoms Generals, I'm only missing one Lu Bu card. I've spent tens of thousands of yen and still haven't gotten one!"
"I didn't expect to get a free Lu Bu card when I buy a game. And it's a free flash card too. It's really worth it, too cheap!" The little guy couldn't help but open the packaging and kiss the Lu Bu flash card inside. Then he hugged the cartridge and ran home.
"A free Pokemon flash card when you buy a game cartridge!!!" Yamauchi felt that he had learned something new.
But that wasn't the end of it. Yamauchi soon saw a bunch of players rushing in with GB cards. One of the kids pointed at the Little Elf in the shop. Crispy Noodles said, "It's here. This instant noodle has a Little Elf card. It's so pretty!"
As the child spoke, he proudly showed off the Pikachu card in his hand.
"I'll buy 20 packs!"
"I want 40 packs!!"
"I want 40 packs too!!!" Pu Yamauchi was dumbstruck as he watched the children in front of him frantically trying to buy Crispy Noodle Snacks. These children probably weren't Crispy Noodle Snacks users. It seemed that they loved the fairies in Pokemon, so they ran over to buy crispy noodle snacks.
Suddenly, a shop assistant pushed a small cart out. As he pushed, he shouted, "New event! Here's the one and only Pokemon version of GB. This is the GB that Nintendo custom-made for this event! It's packaged with Pokemon for only 15000 yen! It's also a free event exclusive card! "
"I want it!"
"I want one too!!"
The scene once again became incomparably chaotic.
"Huh? When did we custom-make a Pokemon version of GB? How come I didn't know? " Yamauchi was stunned for a moment. Then, he saw a large group of children rushing over. In the blink of an eye, the cart of GB cards was sold out.
Yamauchi rushed forward and took one in his hand. He thought about it for a while and realized that it wasn't a custom-made GB. It was just a Pokemon sticker on top of the original GB. How could they advertise it as a custom-made GB?
Yamauchi was a little mad. After a few minutes, a child looked at the custom-made GB in Yamauchi's hand pitifully and asked weakly, "Grandpa, this GB in your hand, do you want to buy it? If you don't, I'll buy it! "
At this time, Yamauchi realized that all the custom-made GB cards in the convenience store had been sold out.
"No, it's too hot. I need to drink something to calm down!" Yamauchi wiped the sweat off his forehead. He remembered that there was another outlet that seemed to be a coffee shop or something. Yamauchi turned around and walked towards the weirdly named Muto Games Coffee Shop.
When Yamauchi arrived at the entrance of the store, he was shocked. There was an extremely long line at the entrance of the store. Countless men and women lined up from the entrance to more than a hundred meters away. Yamauchi was completely shocked when he saw this.
"Are these people lining up to buy coffee? When did the coffee shop become so popular? "Yamauchi foolishly walked into the coffee shop from a side door.
Then, he realized that the people in the line were indeed lining up to buy drinks.
They were all lined up neatly, waiting for the staff to give them a strange drink.
Yamauchi swore to God that this was the first time he saw such a strange coffee drink.
It was obviously coffee, but it was served in cheap plastic cups. The color inside wasn't pure black, but close to gray. It looked like there was a lot of milk mixed in.
At the same time, Yamauchi saw small black beads in the coffee, which made it even more mysterious.
"What kind of coffee is this?" Yamauchi couldn't help but ask the person beside him.
"Old man, you're outdated! It's not coffee, it's milk tea! "The young man said with a smile.
"Milk tea!" Yamauchi felt that he had learned a new term.
"Yes, it's a super drink from Hua Xia. It's an invincible drink made with tea, milk, and coffee. Especially the black beads in it, it's simply irresistible!"
"It's selling like crazy in Tokyo. Every shop has a line of more than 100 meters!" The young man said with envy, then lowered his head to play the game in his hand.
"You're also playing GB!" Yamauchi saw that the young man was playing his own GB and couldn't help but feel happy.
"Yeah, but I'm not interested in this. It's mainly because this time, the coffee shop has launched a new product, Black Sugar Latte Milk Tea. However, this milk tea is limited. I have to sit here and experience this Pokemon for ten minutes!" The young man muttered. Then, he lowered his head and began to play the game seriously.
Yamauchi then realized that the GB was tied with a rope, and the rope was fixed on the coffee table. It seemed that the GB was the property of the coffee shop.
The young man, who had just said that he was not interested in the game, suddenly stopped talking and devoted himself to the game. The more he played, the more excited he became. Just when he was enjoying himself, a shop assistant suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Sir, 10 minutes have passed. This is your special purchase voucher. You can line up to buy the black sugar latte milk tea now!"
"That … Can you let me play for a while longer? I'm about to catch this damn turtle! "The young man said pitifully.
"I'm afraid that's not possible. Each person only has ten minutes. Do you see that there are many people waiting in line for the game?" The shop assistant shook his head and said.
"Okay!" The young man could only reluctantly give up the game in his hand and let another young man experience it.
"Sir, if you're interested in the game just now, you can buy the Pokemon Special Edition BG and Pokemon Red Set at our special counter. It's only 14,999 yuan, and you can play the game at home every day!"
"In addition, anyone who holds the Special Edition GB can buy all the new milk tea and coffee here at any time and anywhere. There's no need to experience it!"
"Oh right, there's also a special event card: Silver Flash Card: True Red-Eyed Black Dragon!"
"What! There's such a good thing? I'll go now! "When the young man heard that, he didn't want the milk tea anymore and ran directly to the counter to line up.
"Oh my god!" Yamauchi wiped the sweat on his head. He suddenly realized that he couldn't understand this world anymore.
