Chapter 1637

"However, chairman, this is not a long-term plan. We can't subsidize it all the time, otherwise the whole Microsoft will be implicated!" Tony added appropriately.

"I know!" Bill Gates nodded.

Fools understand that the market obtained by burning money can not last. Burning money is only temporary, just to open the market in the early stage. After gaining the market, the burning of money must stop, or the investors will kill Bill Gates.

However, in Bill Gates' view, this is not a big deal. In the future, we only need to stop the subsidies, so the box game store will continue to make profits, and naturally can gradually turn back the subsidy money.

Don't you see that the steam game store earns tens of billions of dollars in net profits to Daqian every year?

As long as the box game store can defeat the steam game store, the subsidy of more than one billion dollars will not be earned every minute.

At present, the more important thing is to continue to grab the market.

Just at this time, the Secretary knocked on the door and came in. Then the novel in Bill Gates's ear said, "the box game sent a message that the $600 million previously lent to them had been few left, so Mr. Iwata, the chairman of the box game, asked us if we could lend another $1 billion to them, and they planned to carry out the subsidy activities for a month!"

"No problem!" Bill Gates readily agreed. The achievements of box games are very proud, and these are obtained by subsidies, but the steam game stores have not been defeated. They still have tens of thousands of franchise stores all over the world. At this time, stop subsidies and burning money. Isn't everything back to the source?

So Bill Gates did not hesitate to instruct Microsoft to lend $1 billion in cash to the box game store at a lower interest rate, so that the big promotion of box games can continue all the time!

Hearing that the activity continued for a month, players all over the world cheered again, while the franchisees of steam game stores raised eyebrows.

They managed to survive for a month, hoping that the opposite activity would end and they could make a profit again. But now it's better. They'll stick to it for another month!

These franchisees can only find Daqian game again and ask Daqian game to launch the same type of activities.

However, the attitude of Daqian game has not changed this time. Even if Arakawa comes out again to appease these grumpy franchisees, it is still useless.

Finally, some franchisees couldn't carry it. They took the initiative to find the box game store and expressed the hope that they could change their doors and directly change from the steam game store to the box game store.

In this regard, he was naturally ecstatic. Bill Gates even personally met with some franchisees and said that the box game store was very welcome and would fully support the actions of these franchisees.

Therefore, in a short period of five days, more than 100 franchisees announced to leave the steam game store and join the box game store instead.

And for these franchisees, it is a very simple thing to change their appearance. They don't even need to change the decoration in the store. They just need to change a signboard.

The steam game store seemed anxious after seeing this measure, but what the steam game store did was not to appease its franchisees, but directly issued a notice to all franchisees.

That is, if they give up joining, then according to the original contract, if they forcibly withdraw before the joining period expires, Daqian games will not recycle all the products such as inventory game CDs they buy.

In other words, each franchisee of this batch of goods must spend their own money to eat it.

Generally speaking, a steam game store has a CD inventory of tens of thousands of games, and some large stores even have more than 30000. After all, steam game stores are famous for the number and categories of games. According to the Games above class a of Daqian games, at least 100 copies should be stored to ensure sales, and 10000 copies are absolutely available.

Originally, because Daqian game will recycle all the inventory that cannot be sold, although franchisees will put a little money on the inventory, they will never lose.

But this time Daqian directly announced that it refused to recycle, and the reason is also very sufficient. After all, all franchisees have to sign a three-year franchise contract at least. Most franchisees still have more than a year to go before the end of the contract period. It is very difficult to expect to change careers after the end of the contract period.

Besides, Daqian also pointed out another clause in the contract. After withdrawing from the franchise, the franchisee shall not join other industries, otherwise it shall pay compensation equivalent to one year's share.

For these two terms, if the former is calculated according to 10000 copies, it is at least a loss of about 500000 US dollars.

In fact, the inventory of most franchisees is more than US $1 million.

The latter is also similar. Many franchise stores have a turnover of more than US $3 million a year, and franchisees can get 20% of the revenue share.

Then the compensation is 600000.

If these two conditions are combined, a franchisee who withdraws from the steam game store will need to pay at least more than $1.5 million in compensation.

In this threat of Daqian game, all franchisees were immediately awakened by fear, and their restless mind was closed in an instant.

Well, no matter how much you explain this situation, it's useless. Huge economic losses are the best way to make these franchisees obedient!

Of course, in this way, many franchisees of steam game stores hate Daqian instantly, but they really have no way.

However, some franchisees still don't give up their plans. They jointly found the box game. I hope the box game can help them share the cost!

In response to this situation, box game immediately held a board meeting, because this meeting was very important. Bill Gates and Iwata Cong both attended the meeting directly.

"I think we can... Not that we have to agree to the requests of these franchisees!" Iwata Cong took the lead in saying, "gentlemen, now is the best time given to us by God. Daqian has completely become a life and death enemy with all their franchisees for a ridiculous economic benefit."

"According to my investigation, many franchisees now hate Daqian. They dream of joining our box game, but only the damn liquidated damages and inventory costs stop them!"

"If we find a way to help these franchisees, they will all change their camps in an instant. Daqian currently has more than 20000 steam game stores, of which about 80% will become our box game stores in an instant. Then Daqian's so-called market hegemony will collapse in an instant, and the game imperial dynasty belonging to Microsoft and Nintendo will also Will come back to this world!! "

Arakawa shivered with excitement, as if he had seen the wonderful scene of thousands of games being beaten by Nintendo, and Nintendo dominating the whole game world again!
