Chapter 1651

"Chairman, we must get rid of Daqian games. They have cheated us of more than $1 billion in subsidies!" many executives shouted angrily in the conference room.

When Daqian game joined the box game store, the performance data were released, and the whole Microsoft was basically like this.

Anyone who sees that his once biggest opponent has taken more than $1 billion in subsidies from his own hands will be extremely angry.

Well, in fact, we can't blame Daqian game. We can only blame those hard-working wool collecting players. It's a chance to see a 20% discount on all products of Daqian game in history, especially the new Pokemon products on sale. Of course, it's crazy!

Moreover, the stock of Daqian game is still full. The Pokemon black and white sold 30 million copies at one go. There is no shortage problem at all. The poor box game store didn't respond to anything, so it directly subsidized Daqian game by US $1 billion.

Who are you going to reason with!

"Mr. Iwata, what do you think?" Bill Gates asked, rubbing his temples wearily.

Now the president of the box game is still Iwata Cong, and he has to make up his mind!

"I agree with the suggestions of my colleagues. Daqian is the opponent we must eliminate. We not only need to eliminate the channel of steam game store, but also the most important thing is to completely eliminate the whole Daqian game!" Iwata said angrily "Now the steam game store is almost dead. If we cut off all the sales channels of Daqian game, Daqian game will lose its sales and die in the end!"

"In fact, I didn't approve of the decision to let Daqian join the box game store before, but now it's not too late to mend it!" said Iwata angrily.

In fact, Bill Gates guessed Iwata Cong's attitude. In fact, Bill Gates didn't understand this truth. Just before, because Microsoft's stock price was unstable, Daqian had to admit defeat to stabilize the stock price, so that Bill Gates Foundation could secretly sell more dollars.

Now Bill Gates has sold his 10% stake in Microsoft, and the overall situation has completely stabilized. The box game store no longer needs the good news of Daqian games.

Therefore, the decision to run Daqian game was quickly determined, but this is not the most important purpose of this meeting. The most important purpose is to review the complete financial report of the box game store in the first month.

Originally, this review did not require Bill Gates and Iwata Cong to pull a vote of senior management to the meeting, but in this report, Iwata Cong found a big problem that he could not deal with alone, so he had to ask Bill Gates to make a decision together.

"What, the actual sales of all games in our store in the first month of this year add up to only 90 million copies. How is this possible? It is clear that all franchise stores are full. According to our estimation, the cumulative sales volume of the whole month is at least 300 million!!" Seeing the specific sales data submitted by Iwata Cong, Bill Gates's expression suddenly changed. This data is seriously inconsistent with the data estimated by his people. Did Nintendo eat its own money when it was running?

Seeing the ferocious expression of Bill Gates, Iwata immediately said, "all the accounts of the company are clear and verifiable, and we have never done anything!"

"Then why is the actual data so poor?" Bill Gates asked.

"Because these franchisees didn't sell our game CDs!" Iwata said with a bitter smile.

"What does this mean?" Bill Gates was stunned. Then Iwata began to explain in detail. Bill Gates finally understood the context.

In fact, the key lies in the rapid expansion of the box game store. Before, the merchants of the steam game store forcibly interrupted the contract with the steam game store, which led to the steam game store not recycling their inventory, and a large number of franchisees pressed the inventory of at least 10000 games in their hands.

Then, in order to win over these franchisees, the box game store tried to borrow money from these franchisees to help them repay their debts.

But Bill Gates ignored one thing, that is, although the account was settled with the steam game store, the inventory was still in the hands of various franchisees.

These game CDs are all genuine inventory, which are exchanged for real gold and silver. How can these franchisees leave them in the warehouse.

Therefore, after joining the box game store, these franchisees put the inventory of those steam game stores on the shelves at the first time, and then directly discount according to the discount of the box game store and sell it to players.

Although you can't enjoy the discount of the box game store, it's a big mouthful of blood.

Let alone, under the temptation of discount, the game inventory in the hands of these franchisees, except for those games that can't be sold, almost all of them have been sold short, and these franchisees have succeeded in returning their blood.

But the problem is that the inventory sold has nothing to do with the box game store, and the sales data of the box game store will not be recorded. As a result, the sales data of the box game store is extremely ugly in a month, as if there was no discount.

What's worse, some franchisees even secretly calculate the inventory of these steam game stores close to the discount of the box game store, and then report subsidies to the box game store.

Because the box game has just been established, I don't understand the industry, the fishiness inside and the various tricks of the merchants. As a result, I didn't find it at all, so I gave the subsidies directly.

This is equivalent to Microsoft subsidies, and then help the steam game store sell its products, which makes Bill Gates sick.

Anyway, according to the final statistics, in nearly two months, the box game store not only did not make money, but lost nearly $4 billion... This is not the loan to those franchisees, but simply the dollars lost from various operating costs and subsidies.

Now, there is a very important problem defeated in front of Bill Gates, that is, how to deal with these franchisees.

Because almost all franchisees do so, Bill Gates can't even be severely punished, otherwise the whole franchise system will collapse.

You can only knock.

"For franchisees who sell inventory, they should immediately turn in 10% of the sales as a share according to the agreement, and return the inventory loan to us. Anyway, their inventory has been sold out and is just used to repay the money. Franchisees who not only sell inventory but also cheat subsidies should be kicked out directly. This is scum!" Bill Gates finally made a decision.
