Chapter 1257: Combo punch

With the popularity of handhelds, it first spread in universities.

This wind will easily enter the group of high school students, junior high school students and housewives.

As long as it is favored by young consumers and housewives, it is impossible for an electronic product to fail.

Tens of millions of Tetris handhelds have been stockpiled for a month, and they were out of stock before the limelight blew up.

Moreover, this is only in the United States, and the news of the appearance of the handheld soon spread to major capital countries such as Europe and island countries.

Countless orders instantly made Frank and Taylor, who was helping from the side, overwhelmed.

The two had to poach management from various large companies.

Fortunately, there is no need for too high conditions from Frank this time. Some elites are willing to join immediately. If they do well, the initial stock is not a luxury.

Facing countless orders, Frank, Taylor, and Andre were distressed and extremely excited at the same time.

The recovery of nearly 100 million US dollars from the sales of one million units alone not only earned back the previous investment of 60 million US dollars, but also equalized the production cost of the million units.

In other words, starting from the second month, any money earned is purely earned.

This is faster than the Fed's machine printing money.

At the same time, what the three of them admired most about Li Changheng was that although the handheld and arcade game companies were all registered in the United States, the parent company was in an overseas tax haven.

Moreover, it authorized two companies in the United States in the form of technology authorization, which directly reduced the profits of these two companies to about 10%.

Once these two companies start to expand their manpower, it will easily show losses on the books. Not only will they not have to pay a dime of tax, but they will also be able to enjoy policy benefits and subsidies for high-tech in the United States.

Even if the U.S. taxation team knows that there are tricks in it, everything is legal until the law is changed.

This is the same as Amazon, which once had the world's largest market value. The company has been established for more than 20 years and has never paid taxes.

Even if you are looking for trouble, you may even move out the factory in the United States, leaving only the laboratory and the authorized sales company.

Then, in the name of a sales company in the United States, importing these handhelds is at least half cheaper than paying taxes.

-------

Several companies have made handheld products before, but the most popular in the United States at this time is the game console produced by Atari that is linked to a TV for home use.

And no one will let the R&D team hire a national laboratory with a high salary to do R&D like Li Changheng.

Therefore, the previous handhelds all ended in cutting off the project.

In other words, even if Li Changheng robbed the market of the power in the United States, the only opponent was Atari.

But as soon as the sales of the handheld came out, the Wall Street investment companies that wanted to invest in Atari before, or other investors, suddenly thought pessimistically, all the projects that Li Changheng was eyeing, let alone Atari, even Morgan Stanley. It is not necessarily possible to win him.

Subsequently, these investment companies set their sights on the island semiconductor company.

The reason is very simple, the sales of handhelds are exploding, and the sales of electronic components will also increase accordingly.

Li Changheng doesn't care what these vampires do, anyway, he has only one goal at this time, which is the Nintendo of the island country.

When Nintendo developed a handheld console in the true sense in 1980, it sold 43.4 million units in the first year.

Fortunately, Li Changheng has the prophetic advantage.

And not to mention that Nintendo's handheld is still in the final stage of research and development, even if it really starts to be sold, customers will simply compare it and abandon Nintendo.

The reason is very simple. One is to cross the river by feeling the stones, and the other is to directly take out the classic games and mature mode handhelds.

There is no need to compare.

Tetris definitely beats Nintendo's first-generation machine. The cross key registered by Li Changheng the next day, compared to Nintendo's products with only two left and right buttons, can once again be played.

In addition, Li Changheng ordered Frank and Andre to eat 60 million pieces of memory from the island country and the United States when setting up the factory.

Even if the memory factory increases production, it will take at least one year to complete the 60 million order.

After such a delay, Li Changheng has already occupied at least 90% of the market.

Moreover, due to technical reasons, the handheld consoles of this era cannot be equipped with multiple plug-in game cards.

In other words, unless the game is very playable, there is a high probability that customers who have bought a handheld will not buy a second one.

In addition, Li Changheng was shameless enough to call Noda Koji.

Not only waving the promise of US dollars and immigration, but also poaching Yokoi, the father of the red and white machine, the backbone of several other Nintendo companies in the early development period were also targeted by the island gang of the Otomo group.

With the use of beauties, drinking games, gambling, and even fairy dancing, Nintendo quickly discovered that many people in the company's management team were absent-minded when they went to work, and they looked like they were not awake.

Otherwise, he would be in a daze, as if something big happened at home, and he would not be able to focus on the company's affairs at all.

In addition, the new products developed by the company faced giant-like opponents before they were launched, loss, confusion and financial pressure, not to mention crushing the company, but it also made the company start to panic.

By the time Nintendo managed to deal with the company's internal affairs, the foundry factory established by Andre and Frank in the island country had already started shipping.

Originally, the players and agents of the island country were impatient because the handheld was sought after in the United States, and within a few days they covered the three-month output of the factory.

It can be said that there are trucks waiting outside the warehouse of the factory every day, even before they leave the factory, they are transported to the truck and driven away.

In such a hot situation, of course there are many problems.

It can be sold for US$99, but the cost is less than US$30, which is enough for Li Changheng to promise a three-day refund and a seven-day warranty in this era when the three-guarantee promise has just appeared.

And the factory in South Korea didn't even care about selling locally~lightnovelpub.net~ was directly bought by distributors in Europe and South Asia.

Three million units per month is equal to 297 million US dollars, which is 3.564 billion in sales a year. Wall Street and the investment circles of various countries suddenly became impatient.

The major financial media reported heavily, and professional commentators continued to express their admiration for the handheld, and at the same time, they immediately pushed the "Handheld Treasure" company to the forefront of the storm.

Countless investors waved their checks and wanted to buy shares but had no chance, and then they touted Li Changheng in the media, hoping that he could go public through a back door.

The major evaluation agencies on Wall Street, after learning that the three factories with an annual turnover of more than one million yuan, are all overwhelmed, and it is easy to calculate the total annual sales of the game console company with a simple calculation.

Directly evaluate this company as a market value of 5 billion.

If Wall Street knows that the profit of handheld games is about 200%, excluding the arcade machines that are suppressed by Li Changheng, they can earn 2.3 billion a year, and the market value will definitely soar to over 10 billion.
