"Chairman, the CEO of Blizzard Games in the United States, Mr. Alan Adehan, has sent an invitation to you to the United States to attend the Warcraft: Humans and Orcs Conference!" Boss Jia received a message from Blizzard Games after the box office of Farewell My Concubine broke the eighty million RMB mark.
"Have they finally decided to release it? They won't be skipping tickets again, right? " Boss Jia was still worried when he saw the invitation. He felt like he would have made a wasted trip.
After all, this was the fourth time Blizzard Games announced that they would be releasing Warcraft: Humans and Orcs. The previous three times they skipped tickets because they had to make adjustments to the game's details.
However, since Blizzard Games didn't have many fans, it didn't matter even if they skipped tickets. Otherwise, they would have been cursed to death.
"Mr. Alan Adehan promised that they would be able to release it this time. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent you an invitation!" The secretary said softly.
"Alright, I'll make a trip to the United States. I want to see how the Daqian toys and movies are doing!" Boss Jia nodded. After saying goodbye to his two sisters, Boss Jia flew directly to the United States.
Boss Jia learned his lesson this time. Once he got off the plane, a professional security company took over Boss Jia's security. However, Boss Jia didn't go straight to Blizzard Games. Instead, he went straight to the Daqian Puzzle Company branch in the United States to see the father and son duo who were already waiting for him.
When he saw the father and son duo again, they were full of confidence. It couldn't be helped. Ever since February, the results of the Pocket Electric Pets were simply too good!
For the whole of February and the first half of March, the electronic pocket pets on the market were all in a state of short supply. Every time a new product was on the market, it would be sold out in a short period of time. At most, it could only last for three days in some remote cities.
However, it could only last for three days. After a while, it was still hard to find a Pocket Electric Pet on the market. I'm not selling all of it to consumers. A large portion of it is in the hands of second-hand dealers.
Starting from March 1st, a large number of secondary dealers began to join the rush to buy, and their actions led to a shortage of products.
However, the goods in the hands of secondhand dealers had become very clever. As long as you were willing to raise the price by 5 dollars, you could immediately buy a pocket electronic pet machine.
If he was willing to raise the price by 5 USD, he could choose any Pokemon other than Pikachu and Yu Sanjia.
As for Pikachu and Yu Sanjia, they would have to raise the price by more than 12 USD.
Anyway, the secondhand dealers were doing very well. They only hoped that there would always be a shortage of pocket pets.
However, as the Daqian continued to increase its production, it had no intention of reducing its production. Especially on the 20th of March, when a new batch of 10 million Pocket Electric Monsters arrived, the dealers could no longer continue their business. They began to sell off their Pocket Electric Pets at reduced prices.
With the addition of the two factors, the sales of Pocket Electric Pets finally returned to normal. There would no longer be a shortage of Pocket Electric Pets for a long time. As long as you went to the store, you would generally be able to buy the latest Pocket Electric Pets.
However, even though the sales had calmed down, in the past two months, the United States Daqian Puzzle Intelligence had submitted an extremely exaggerated result.
"Director Jia, this is our latest Pocket Electric Pet sales statistics table. Please take a look!" Jack Olens handed the latest report to Boss Jia.
"It has increased to 90 million units?" Although Boss Jia had already received a sales report a week ago, at that time, the reported sales were 82 million units. However, after a week, the total sales had already exceeded 90 million units!
In a few more days, it was almost certain that the sales volume would exceed 100 million.
This data still shocked Boss Jia. He did not expect the Pocket Electric Pets to sell so crazily. Moreover, it was only in the United States market.
One had to know that the retail price of a Pocket Electric Pet was 9 USD. The wholesale price was 8 USD. The export price was 6 USD. Including the tax of 1 USD, the United States Daqian Puzzle Intelligence could earn a profit of 1 USD per Pocket Electric Pet. 90 million units meant a profit of 90 million USD.
However, this was not all of Boss Jia's profit. This was because the production cost of a Pocket Electric Pet was only 3 USD. When the Daqian Puzzle Intelligence exported it, it had already earned a profit of 3 USD.
In other words, the actual profit of a Pocket Electric Pet that belonged to the Daqian Puzzle Intelligence was actually 4 USD. 90 million units meant a profit of 360 million USD.
And this was only the result of the North American market. At this time, the global sales of Pocket Electric Pets had exceeded 160 million units. The profit of the other markets was not as exaggerated as the North American market. The average profit was about 3 USD. This was another 210 million USD profit. Adding the two together, it was a profit of 570 million USD.
Boss Jia could not help but sigh. The Pocket Electric Pets were simply the craziest money-making machine in the history of the Daqian Puzzle Intelligence. It was actually not much worse than their mother, the Pokemon game cartridges.
Speaking of the Pokemon game cartridges, in the last week, the Pokemon game once again achieved reverse growth. After experiencing a decline in January and February, the sales of Pokemon in March increased instead. In the end, the total sales of March reached an astonishing 9 million units, almost exceeding 10 million units.
This was obviously a chain reaction brought about by the Pocket Electric Pets. In the beginning, it was the golden IP of Pokemon that gave the Pocket Electric Pets the most powerful support, but in turn, the Pocket Electric Pets began to support Pokemon. This was the benefit of an entire IP series.
The only thing that made Boss Jia more regretful was that even if the sales of Pokemon later exceeded 42 million, surpassing the record set by Super Mario Brothers, the shameless guys of Nintendo actually released a replica version, and then the sales of the two versions were counted together. Then the total sales of Super Mario Brothers exceeded 55 million units, and it still firmly occupied the first place in the game sales list. It seemed that it would be difficult for Pokemon to break the record.
After all, the potential users of Pokemon had almost been tapped. It was almost impossible to increase the sales of Pokemon by 13 million units.
"Wait, Jack, I remember that the total population of the United States is about 300 million. Did 13% of the people in the United States buy our Pocket Electric Pets?" Boss Jia suddenly asked curiously.
"Of course not, our users so far are only about 30 million at most!" Jack Orlens shook his head.
"30 million? Did everyone buy three Pocket Electric Pets? "Boss Jia asked curiously.
"In fact, most people bought one, but some people bought a little too many!" Speaking of this, Jack Orlens couldn't help but reveal a smile.
"Oh!" Boss Jia nodded and didn't say anything. He continued to look at the report handed to him by Jack Orlens. In addition to the total sales, there were many other data listed in detail, including the sales of different Pokemon.
Among them, the sales champion was naturally Pikachu's Pocket Electric Pet, which sold 12 million units, almost accounting for 17% of the total sales. It could be seen how popular Pikachu was.
The second to fourth place were completely dominated by the Yu Family. The total sales of the Wonderful Frog Seed, Jenny Tortoise, and Charmander were as high as 30 million units. Adding them together with the previous Pikachu, it was equivalent to half of the total sales.
However, these were all expected by Boss Jia, but what Boss Jia didn't expect was that the fifth place was actually Kentaro, with a total sales of 7 million units.
"F * ck, when did Kentaro become so popular? Could it be that the taste of people in this era has changed? "Seeing this result, Boss Jia couldn't help but smack his lips.
"Actually, this is all thanks to Fantasy!" Jack Olens said softly.
