Chapter 506: Z four is hot

After the official launch of z4, sales have soared. In just one week, it exceeded 6 million units. Especially the flip style, don't look at the high price, but sell it better.
32-bit handheld game memory cards are also selling very well. On average, one z4 can sell two new game cards.
At this point, sales of the z3 also began to plummet. With the new model, everyone is not willing to play the old one. And z1 and z2 have been discontinued, because although they can still sell, the profit margin is too low.
Rather than let low-margin products dominate the market, it is better to sell new ones. Anyway, the price of z3 has been lowered again, and I don't worry that the market will be snatched by Nintendo.
Nintendo's gBa has not yet been listed, it is expected to be in the first quarter of 2001, but Zhang Yang believes that Nintendo may be listed again in advance, and may be available for sale in January 01.
Now Nintendo is only a few fun games. After all, in the original Nintendo game manufacturer camp, there is no 32-bit game masterpiece, and Nintendo has not sold 32-bit game consoles.
If it’s not that the game is slowing down, maybe Nintendo will be able to release gBa by the end of this year.
After seeing the sales data, Sun Tengfei knocked on the chairman's office door.
Zhang Weiguang was standing in front of a fishbowl, holding fish food in his hand, watching the goldfish looting, with a leisurely smile on his face.
Dangdang~~
"Come in."
"Chairman, this is the first week's sales statistics of the z4 after it went public. We sold more than 6 million units of the z4, including more than 4 million units reserved. The sales of the z3 were only 120,000 units, or after the price reduction. ."
"However, sales of Nintendo's gBc, gBP and other products have also declined significantly. This week, they are only about 100,000 units. Their gBa is expected to be listed early next year, and the specific time has not been announced."
Zhang Weiguang glanced at the sales statistics: "Can we sell 6 million units? One week? Then you estimate, how much can we sell by the end of the year? 20 million units?"
This little bit, is better than the previous z3? Obviously it is more expensive and the profit margin is higher. What do those people abroad think? The more expensive they really sell, the more people they buy?
"Twenty million units are no problem, I can guarantee. In many markets such as the island market and North America, we have caused a wave of panic buying. How many people line up in front of the store is afraid they will not be able to buy."
"Some retailers previously advertised that they didn't get much, so if you don't buy it quickly, it is very likely that you won't be able to buy it before Christmas."
"Actually, our first batch of supply is not much, but then the second batch has been shipped and shipped. This is the marketing method of those retailers, called hunger marketing."
"Moreover, our flip model sells better than the horizontal model, and the profit margin is also higher, which can reach 25%. The horizontal model only accounts for 15%."
"If it's not that our prices are a little high, the sales volume should be higher. But now we only have Nintendo's gBa as a competitor. Whether they are Schneider or Sega Bandai, their handheld projects have just started, and they will be at the end of next year. To be listed."
"At that time, we will launch z4s and add new functions, which can easily defeat them."
"What is z4s?" Zhang Weiguang was confused. When did the company's handheld naming change its way?
Sun Tengfei was a little embarrassed, did the chairman know this? But he clearly sent the documents to the chairman's secretary.
"It is an improved version of z4. It is equivalent to the relationship between Zhiduoxing g and gmInI. The basic performance has not been significantly improved, but some details have been optimized and some auxiliary functions have been added."
"In this way, when our sales of z4 decline, or consumers are criticized for being overpriced, we can continue to ensure high profits through z4s, and the price of z4 can also be reduced. At that time, z3 will also reduce production again until z5 appears. The production was completely stopped."
Zhang Yang said that Zhiduoxing Group does not need to learn Nintendo, a game console must be sold for 20 years. In fact, ten years are considered long.
At the beginning, the development of the game industry was slow, 8-bit machines were already very advanced, and when 16-bit machines became popular at that time, 8-bit machines were still mainstream in many countries and regions.
But now the replacement speed of electronic products is too fast, who would like to play 8-bit machine? In order to sell for a long period of time, it is necessary to delay the sales cycle, simply to spend money to buy face.
This may be regarded as Nintendo's honor, but how many consumers will seriously remember? They say at most, oh, Fc, I know, and will they still buy it?
Therefore, Zhiduoxing Group must ensure that at most two generations of products are sold at the same time. If there is a third-generation product sold, then the first generation will be discontinued, allowing retailers to empty their inventory.
Many retailers will choose to empty the stock as soon as possible, and some will keep it, that is, not to reduce the price, to prepare for some nostalgic people. Anyway, the number is not large, they are also hoarding.
Zhang Weiguang suddenly asked: "Have you reported this to Zhang Yang?"
"The president's mailbox has been sent. Isn't the president on a business trip yet to return?"
"Not yet back? How long will he travel?"
Sun Tengfei blinked his eyes: "The president didn't say that."
You don’t even know, where do I know? And how does it feel that the president is on a business trip, and the chairman is not very clear?
However, the chairman is indeed very free now. Half of the time is spent traveling every year, and the life is very smart. Sun Tengfei hopes that he can be so free and easy when he is old.
But think about the chairman's trips are all private jets, with top guides to follow, and accompanying bodyguards, that cost is not a small amount.
Even if he is already rich, he can't afford to spend so much money.
"I read the document yesterday and said ~EbookFREE.me~ The two companies in the island country are going to merge? That Nao Watanabe wants to be the assistant to the president?"
"Yes, this is the president’s decision. The chairman, the merger of those two companies, our management will be more convenient. And it does not affect our absolute controlling power. The voting rights of their major shareholders add up to only At around thirty, we have more than two-thirds of the voting power."
"That Watanabe Naoki is responsible for the arcade project. This market is growing very fast this year, and the president also gave him some rewards."
"By the way, Chairman, did you read the documents sent by people yesterday? If you have no comments and have trouble signing, you should order the following people to execute."
"I read it and signed it. I took it at the table. I will go home first. It's boring to stay at the company."
Zhang Weiguang found many of the company's documents, and he couldn't understand some of the words above. After getting used to it, working accidentally, I am still not very used to it, especially working in the office.
Well, I will go to the R&D center in the future, it is still interesting there. Zhang Yang's boy was on a business trip. Why didn't he come back for so long?
