Chapter 526

[PS: I see that some readers have doubts about the race value, because the author Jun himself has not played baokemeng, but has only learned some things, so the baokemeng in the novel is a revised version of boss Jia, so don't directly apply the setting of baokemeng in reality! In addition, the dream is a single race value of 100, in fact, the sum of all race values is 600]

"How can it be for $9?" in fact, at this moment, Arakawa was also watching the talk show of pocket electronic pets. When Jack Orens finally announced the price of a machine, Arakawa was shocked.

As president of Nintendo North America, Arakawa is not directly in charge of machine manufacturing, but he still knows very well about the cost of Nintendo producing a GB.

The price of a Nintendo GB is 11999 yen in Fuso and 199 dollars in the United States, but the profit is not high. Because the cost price of a GB is also about 10000 yen, GB can only make a little profit in the United States. In fact, selling a machine in Fusang will lose money.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you lose money selling machines. Anyway, you can earn money by selling games.

But the cost of nearly 10000 yen per GB remains unchanged.

But now the price of Jia Yapeng's pocket electronic pet machine is only a mere nine dollars. If it is converted into Japanese yen, it is only more than 1000 yen. How can this machine be sold so cheap!! Does Jia Yapeng really want to make money?

Can the price of $9 really make up for the cost?

Arakawa was really confused because he couldn't figure out how to get the price of $9,

For such a machine, the mold of the plastic shell needs to be customized separately, and then there should be chips and various electronic components. The key is to shrink so many electronic components and install them in a small machine the size of only one palm 13.

Although the technical content is not necessarily high, it is very troublesome to process, and the prices of various components are also very expensive.

Arakawa estimated that if Nintendo were to build this machine, it would certainly not be a problem technically, but the cost must reach about $19. Jia Yapeng's price is only half of the cost of heaven. How much does he actually cost??

Arakawa feels his whole head is going to explode. He can't believe that the cost of this pocket electronic pet machine is below that of the pocket electronic pet machine.

Even professionals like Arakawa also feel that the price is incredibly cheap, let alone the audience watching the live broadcast in front of the TV.

Through the demonstration on TV just now, players have learned that this small pocket electronic pet machine has surprisingly complete functions, including a display screen, buttons and online devices. More importantly, it can also fight with each other, so as to realize many playing methods and functions. Basically, it can be regarded as a video game machine, And it's a handheld video game console.

The price of a handheld video game console, no matter which brand or manufacturer, is basically more than $100. This price makes many poor Americans stop at it.

Although the United States is very developed, no matter how big a country is, there are poor people. They can't afford 199 dollars to buy a game console.

But now, the price of this game console is only a mere $9. Although the function of this video game console is a little single, it can't insert cards, can't play other games, and can only be used to raise electronic pets, it's really a game console. The price of $9 is really too cheap!

This feeling is like boss Jia who went to the imperial capital for the first time and found that the one square meter house in the imperial capital only costs more than 1000 yuan. This price is too cheap. If you don't buy it, you are committing a crime!

Buy it, you have to buy it. It's too cheap!

In an instant, all those who were still hesitating made a decision in their hearts. They could not afford to buy things for only $9 each, and you could not be fooled!

The time finally came on February 25, the day when the pocket electronic pet machine was on sale all over the world.

On this day, in a crowded apartment, a child crept to his mother with a smile and said, "mother, I want to buy a pocket electronic pet machine, okay?"

"No!" Mom refused very crisp, and then said loudly, "I knew you wanted to buy that thing, but Kevin, you should understand that our family is in a tight economy and doesn't have so much money to buy toys for you. Do you understand?"

"But mom, I haven't bought a toy for a year. Even for Christmas, I just bought me a lollipop. I just want a pocket electronic pet machine. Isn't that all right?" the child was sad and was about to cry "My friends, they all went to buy a pocket electronic pet machine. I'm alone. Mom, please, buy me one!"

"Baby..." Mother looked at her son crying and felt very sad. She didn't know that her son hadn't bought new clothes or toys for more than a year. However, family conditions really didn't allow her. Her salary was not high. It was very difficult to maintain her and her son's life. She had to prepare the tuition for her child's school right away. It was really difficult for her , I can't afford such an expensive game console.

"No, that thing is too expensive!" mother said ruthlessly.

"No, mom, it's not expensive at all. It's only $9!" the child said quickly.

"Isn't nine dollars expensive... Nine dollars is enough for us to eat McDonald's... Wait, how much do you say?" my mother was silly.

"Nine dollars!" the son said quickly.

"Nine dollars? Isn't that a video game? How could it be as cheap as nine dollars? Would you make a mistake." Mom was stunned.

"No, it's all reported on TV. It's $9 each. Say it yourself in the TV program!" the child said, "Mom, if you don't believe it, you'll buy it with me. If it's not the price, I won't!"

"OK, let's go!" the mother immediately agreed to let her son smile with excitement.

Although my family really has some difficulties, as long as $9, it's not a big expense. I can afford it. More importantly, as long as $9 can make up for his guilt that he didn't buy toys for his children for a year and can make his children happy. It's really cost-effective!

In fact, not only this poor family, but also many equally poor families. When they heard that a video game machine was only $9, they agreed to their children's requirements without hindrance. After all, it was only $9. It was too cheap!

So, when the mother and her children came to the nearest toy store selling pocket electronic pet machines, they found that the door of the store was already overcrowded. Customers who wanted to buy a pocket electronic pet machine lined up at the traffic light from the door of the store, hundreds of meters away. It was really terrible.
