Chapter 126: Huge Profit Industry! (Subscribe)
"what?"

In the general manager's office of VTech, Wu Feng's eyes were sharp and his tone was aggressive: "The game motherboard for 'Police Story' has been developed, why didn't you inform me?"

"This one……"

The manager of VTech, sweat on his forehead, explained carefully, "The main reason is that Xiao Rizi heard the news and strongly requested that the company postpone the issuance..."

boom!
Wu Feng flipped the coffee table over and pointed at the manager's nose, angrily scolding: "How can you do things like this?"

"Why, it's hard to offend a big company that lives a small life, but it's easy to offend me, right?"

He sneered repeatedly, his eyes were extremely cold and sharp, but his tone became quite flat: "Let's do it according to the contract!"

After saying that, he turned around and left without paying attention to the other party's pale explanation.

"Send someone to contact Director Huang and ask him to protect the newly developed arcade motherboard!"

As he was leaving, Wu Feng said to his assistant without hesitation, "Send the lawyer over too!"

What a fucking idiot!
Fortunately, I came here to check the situation today. I didn’t expect that VTech would play this trick on him?
The agreed arcade motherboard has been developed, and the next step is direct production and promotion, and the final step is to collect money.

As a result, the game motherboard was stuck here.

He also said that there were strong demands from Xiaorizi. Nima, he was the one who first developed the gaming motherboard and paid for its development. The copyright is still in his hands!
"Brother Feng, do you want to give them a hand?"

After leaving VTech, the close subordinate who followed them whispered, "Don't worry, there won't be any hidden dangers!"

"Just a scare will do, there's no need to make too much noise!"

Wu Feng thought for a moment and then ordered directly: "Don't show up, do it cleanly!"

"It's best not to call out to those who came forward to find out what happened. Even if an accident happens in the future, at least there won't be too much trouble!"

After saying that, he got into a seven-seater commercial vehicle and drove away.

That afternoon, the boss of VTech was involved in a traffic accident.

Even though it was just a scratch, it was still scary.

Then, he thought of Wu Feng’s threat in the morning and immediately became timid.

In fact, there are few technology-based companies in Hong Kong Island.

VTech is already considered one of the best companies, mainly because it has developed its own brand of home game consoles and the popular arcade games developed in cooperation with Wu Feng, making a lot of money.

But here in Hong Kong Island, it still doesn’t catch the eyes of those real estate developers!
In fact, Wu Feng really intends to continue cooperating with him.

It can be considered as a move of buying a horse's bones with a lot of money, to prepare for the game company he started.

The core of arcade games is creativity. As long as the creativity is sufficient and the story, plot and level design are reasonable, coupled with sufficient promotion, it is easy to make a lot of money in the current era when the gaming industry has not yet completely exploded.

A good idea and plot level design can be created with the help of three or five people through brainstorming, which is very suitable for the current young entrepreneurial group in Hong Kong Island.

After all, arcade game development in Hong Kong at that time was considered a very technical job, and there was nothing wrong with it being covered in a layer of high-tech skin.

It's just a pity that the man has feelings for her but she is not interested, so we can only give up the cooperation and go it alone.

The next day, the previously affected cooperation continued and everything was done in accordance with the contract.

Wu Feng will not intercept the benefits of the profit sharing, but this is the only time they will cooperate.

Soon, the arcade version of "Police Story" was produced, and we already had a lot of experience.

After playing it, Wu Feng immediately understood why VTech's research and development speed was so rapid.

Most of the scenes are gun battles, and although there are some fighting scenes, they are not many.

In this way, we can completely use the previous template of "A Better Tomorrow". As long as the background picture is done, it is easy to make the corresponding main board.

Before launching it on the market, he immediately invited the boss of Jiahe Company and Cheng Shilon to experience it together.

"You got it out so quickly?"

Cheng Shilong looked at the brand new arcade machine and said in amazement, "And the plot and level design are both very good!"

Obviously, this guy must have had some experience with arcade games, otherwise he wouldn't be so "professional".

"Of course!"

Wu Feng chuckled and said, "With our previous experience developing the 'A Better Tomorrow' arcade machine, it shouldn't be difficult to make an arcade mainboard for 'Police Story'. It all depends on whether game fans like it!"

"I'm sure I like it anyway!"

Cheng Shilong was very happy, pointing at the character on the screen and saying, "Watching me kill everyone in the game, it feels great!"

Indeed, the big nose of the game character is very eye-catching, and anyone who has seen the movie will know who it is.

"Takeshi, how many arcade machines of 'Police Story' do you think you can sell?"

Zou Wenhuai was obviously not interested in arcade games. He just took a few glances at it and had no intention of trying it.

When Wu Feng was free, he asked directly about the things he cared about most.

Before coming, he had also inquired about the market situation. An arcade machine cost about 15,000 yuan, and the profit was enough for 10,000 yuan.

The profit is indeed not low, but the key is how many can be sold. If it sells like the "A Better Tomorrow" arcade machine, the income will definitely be staggering.

But this is definitely not what Zou Wenhuai wants to see.

Ho Kuan-chang next to him, and Cheng Shi-long who was enthusiastically trying it out himself, their ears pricked up at once, obviously they also took this very seriously.

If he could really make a lot of money, wouldn't Cheng Shilon have plans for the 'Asian Eagle' series of films?

As a result, Wu Feng's answer almost broke Zou Wenhuai's defense.

"Given the popularity of 'Police Story', it won't be a problem for Hong Kong Island to sell at least 2,000 units!"

"300 to 500 units in Australia, 5,000 units in Taiwan is a base, and around 5,000 units in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. We might even be able to sell a little more!"

"The key is that Chengsheng is very influential at Xiao Rizi, so he can probably sell a few thousand units. It's hard to estimate the exact number, as you all know the situation at Xiao Rizi!"

Wu Feng naturally downplayed the situation. It was time not to brag. If he couldn't achieve that kind of sales performance later, it would be a slap in the face.

But even so, Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang, and Cheng Shilong were all stunned.

A careful calculation shows that there are about 15,000 units, and the profit alone is 150 million.

This, this, this, is a bit too exaggerated, right?
"Really, can you really sell so many?"

There was a moment of silence in the room, and the heavy breathing of several people was particularly harsh.

Zou Wenhuai's voice was a little distorted, but he still managed to speak: "Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?"

He Guanchang and Cheng Shilong had no intention of speaking, but just stared at Wu Feng nervously.

"Exaggeration?"

Wu Feng chuckled and said, "Everyone, look at it this way!"

"The arcade games for 'A Better Tomorrow' are so popular, isn't it just because of the popularity of the movie 'A Better Tomorrow'?"

"Could it be that you don't have confidence in Chengsheng's influence, or do you think 'Police Story' can't compare to 'A Better Tomorrow'?"

"We definitely have confidence in Aaron!"

He Guanchang quickly replied, "This is just my first time in the arcade game market, so I'm a little confused!"

"Then it's over!"

Wu Feng laughed and said, "This time the 'Police Story' arcade game is sure to be a hit. Everyone, just wait and hear good news!"

But the more certain he was, the worse Zou Wenhuai's mood became.

Damn, this is a profit of 150 million.

If I had known this earlier, I would have participated in everything he said, and I would have taken the lion’s share!
It’s too late to say anything now. The contract has been signed, and Golden Harvest really knows nothing about the gaming industry.

Even if I want to do something small, I don’t know how to do it?
After leaving Fengrui Film and Television, his originally tense expression became difficult to maintain, and he finally broke down when he got in the car.

"You bastard, you actually dared to take advantage of Jiahe. You'll be in trouble in the future!"

In front of Ho Kuan Chang and Cheng Shi Long, Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but curse.

Ho Kuan Chang and Cheng Shi Long looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say to comfort Zou Wenhuai.

That's an astonishing profit of 150 million. Who wouldn't be shocked to hear that?

Not to mention, they could have gotten a share of the money, but unfortunately they didn't know much about the gaming industry and simply sold the adaptation rights for 50,000.

Thinking about it now, I feel so heartbroken!

On the other side, after seeing Jiahe and his group off, Wu Feng couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Sure enough, seeing that Boss Zou of Jiahe was in a bad mood, he felt particularly happy at this moment.

This old guy still wants to act like a senior, but he can dream on.

After going through all the necessary procedures, VTech grandly launched the "Police Story" arcade game, which quickly became popular in Hong Kong and Macau.

This time, Wu Feng was well prepared. Not only was VTech's motherboard production factory operating at full capacity, but the arcade game motherboard factory built in the mainland was also running at full capacity.

Five thousand motherboards were produced in one go, quickly assembled into arcade machines, and immediately released to the market.

As I said, "Police Story" starring Cheng Shilong is still popular, and the arcade game of the same name quickly became a hit in the market once it was released.

In a short period of time, Hong Kong and Macau consumed 3,000 units, which means a profit of 30 million!
When the buyer from Taiwan came, he asked for 3,000 units, which was quite generous!

A subsequent letter of intent for purchase has also been signed, and the total demand from Taiwan is estimated to be at least over 8,000 units. Cheng Shilon has such a presence.

There's no way around it, Xiao Rizi's "Contra" is indeed a classic. But even classic games get boring after a while, and with the arrival of the "Police Story" arcade game, how could it not be a hit?

I can only say that Xiao Rizi did not continue to develop related games, which may be related to the lack of a sufficiently substantial and exciting story. In short, Wu Feng made a lot of money this time.

This time, "Mong Kok News" followed up with the report, reporting in detail the huge profits of arcade games, which directly caused many viewers to exclaim.
