Chapter 30 Respect
At the end of another game, the young man on the side of Takahashi looked at Takahashi and said, "Come again!"
Takahashi briskly threw a coin and thought to himself, "Come again if you come again."
While he was confident about his strength, he did not take it lightly. The reason why he was in a happy mood was that he thought "fishing" was interesting.
This is also an interesting adjustment when playing boring games.
However, he was not happy for too long. He would be very angry if his opponent knew that he was teasing him.
But there is nothing we can do about this. Since you have done this job, you must respect this job.
His work goal is by no means always winning, but trying every means to get potential players to pay attention to "Star Power" and Hudson.
Therefore, although Takahashi's behavior is a bit bad, it is also very consistent with his work direction.
One game, two games, three games...
Under Takahashi's increasingly skillful teasing, the young man had already spent 1,000 yen.
Although in his opinion, one thousand yen is not too much, the game that almost won ten games still made him feel good about it.
He was a little angry and said to Takahashi, "Can you have fun?"
"Okay." Takahashi saw that he had reacted and didn't plan to tease him anymore.
The smooth operation, accompanied by the head of Cleopatra VII, is a perfect finale!
“4560000!”
The young man's face was full of surprise. He stared at the score that was one million points higher than his highest score on the rankings, and looked extremely frustrated.
"I lost." He said dejectedly.
Takahashi did not comfort the young man with words, because no matter what he said now, it would sound like a mockery to the young man.
"Work hard in the future? Keep working hard?" Such unnutritional words can only make young people even more unhappy.
As a loser, I can't pay back my mouth. Of course, you are the winner and you will say whatever you want.
When the young man was regretting, Takahashi chose a medium prize for him. The small gift box was a 500-yen gold roll in the mall. This could actually be bought at most a little better ice cream.
But he felt that this was much better than another gift - a cup with the Hudson logo printed on it. If he really gave it to him, he would really use it. Every time he drank water with the cup, he would think of his memory of being abused. That would be awful.
This would be better to give him a 500-yen gold roll and let him change it to ice cream.
The young man did not refuse the prize this time. He grabbed Dai Jinjuan and stood up in dismay.
As the number one person in the arcade hall of Lianma District, today he met Takahashi, which seriously damaged his self-esteem. He was already thinking, if there are people outside of others and there is heaven, should we retreat to the world?
The medium prize is only 500 yen, which looks very low in value and is not very attractive. But in fact, this is not the case. The main group of activities is not adults, but children who are relatively old and far from financial freedom.
The medium prize is equivalent to two "Weekly Junior JUMP", which can already meet the entertainment needs of a primary and secondary school child for two weeks.
Of course, the wool still comes from the sheep.
The lowest prize is some cheap snacks from dim sum shops.
Generally, you can get snacks worth fifty yen by playing a handful. From another perspective, this is equivalent to only fifty yen for a game.
Why not directly reduce the coin price?
This is because Hudson implemented arcade price control, and all Hudson's games sold have unified game prices.
Otherwise, if several arcade halls maliciously lower prices due to competition, not only these arcade stores will not be easy, but will also cause great harm to arcade production companies.
Players only need fifty yen to play games here, but still 100 yen elsewhere. Although it is originally 100 yen, they will still feel that they have lost.
In this way, players will not choose to play. If players don’t play, the price of the arcade hall will be reduced. The income per unit time of arcade will decrease, and the motivation to buy a new arcade will be reduced.
In order to avoid such a vicious cycle, most arcade production companies have begun to promote their own price standards.
In addition, a "arcade price protection committee" has been established between companies to discuss and decide what level of games and what charging standards should be.
What kind of games charges fifty yen per time, what kind of arcade games charge one hundred yen per time, and what kind of arcade games charge two hundred yen per time.
They all have corresponding price tags, which avoids malicious competition among arcade manufacturers. It creates a good foundation and environment for everyone to make money and cheat players' money together.
Of course, there are policies and countermeasures at the top, and various adaptable activities, discounts, competitions, etc. have become the respective signs of each arcade store. They do their best to attract more players to their stores.
Today, Takahashi is a composite strategy of two strategies, a game expert challenge, and a bonus when playing games.
Of course, unlike the arcade hall, today it is not mainly for making money, but for promoting the Hudson brand.
Although Hiro Kudo seems to be leisurely and leisurely every day, he has absolutely nothing to do. The arcade company with a lot of cash is no longer satisfied with the profit of selling arcades alone, because no matter how high the profit is, after selling it, there will be no other income except for a small maintenance fee.
Therefore, in addition to cooperating with the arcade hall and launching a free arcade and subsequent income sharing model, the rest is to set up a direct-operated arcade hall to maximize the benefits.
Takahashi came here to play games, in addition to cultivating popularity, it was also used to test the acceptance of Hudson games here.
If the people here like Hudson's games, then Hudson is likely to set up a direct arcade hall directly in this mall.
As for why it is not set up around Akihabara, it is because there are too many arcade halls around Akihabara. A good electrical appliance street is almost turning into an electronic game street.
Too intense competition will not only lead to a significant increase in costs, but also a sharp decrease in profits. It is better to spread anxiety and seek a larger market.
Therefore, except for the half-open-air arcade hall downstairs of Hudson's Tokyo branch, Hudson no longer had the intention to set up a new arcade hall in Akihabara.
Although there are players playing in the arcade hall downstairs, it mainly faces not players, but Akihabara's merchants.
You know, Takahashi plays "Star Power" downstairs every day, which has prompted the sales of more than 600 units of "Star Power" arcades, and the order has been scheduled to next month.
"Interstellar Power" around Akihabara has almost no time to spare in Taiwan.
Based on the price of 300,000 per arcade machine, sales have increased by at least 180 million yen due to Takahashi, gross profit is at least 80 million, and net profit is at least 50 million.
What did Hudson pay? He only paid Takahashi's 10,000 yen per day, and Takahashi and his uncle had a total salary of 200,000 yen per month.
This is also the reason why Kudo attaches importance to Takahashi. What he attaches importance to is not Takahashi itself, but the crazy effect brought by Takahashi.
This also explains from another aspect why Hiro Kudo authorized Takahashi to deal with "Gold Digger".
Of course, there are also logical contradictions in this. Since Takahashi can bring huge benefits, why can he be ready to sacrifice him at any time without any pressure?
This is because Kudo understands that even if Takahashi gets out of here, he can still discover new Takahashi.
There are so many players in Akihabara, and it is not a matter of probability, but a matter of time.
Before the mall closed at night, the audience gathered in front of Hudson's stage and reluctantly left. It was not until Takahashi promised to come tomorrow that these new fans who had won today slowly dispersed.
When he went back, Takahashi did not sit in the back basin anymore, but sat in front.
On this day, he proved himself with his strength and received the respect of his fellow travelers.
Takahashi leaned against the back of the seat, watched the car drive at high speed, and was pulled into lines, listening to the compliments of Japan.
