Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

"Mr. Yamamoto, something terrible has happened."

At the Diablo Corporation headquarters, Ichiro Yamamoto, who had recently come to personally oversee business, suddenly heard these words.

"what happened?"

Yamamoto Ichiro asked very calmly.

"Many players who bought the Diablo disc game wrote letters to complain. They wrote a lot of letters, all complaining that the art style was too dark and kept them up at night."

The staff answered honestly and even handed over some of the complaint letters to Yamamoto Ichiro.

Yamamoto Ichiro frowned slightly as he took the package and opened it.

While the complaints were being made, it was also found that the content was filled with a large amount of Japanese nationalistic elements.

After glancing at it briefly, Yamamoto Ichiro decisively ignored it and asked with great concern, "Have sales dropped?"

"No, no, not only did sales not drop, but they actually doubled in a very strange way."

The staff member gave an embarrassed reply.

Yamamoto Ichiro smiled, waved his hand, and replied, "In that case, there's nothing to worry about."

"While players are filing a lot of complaints, our sales are still skyrocketing. It must be because it's so fun that players are sending us 'friendly greetings'. As long as we can make money, it's not a big problem."

"However, I will call Mr. Chen at 361 and report this issue to him."

Upon hearing this, the staff immediately bowed and shouted, "Hi!"

Then he turned and left.

"Chen Sang is really something. Even if he was rushing to finish the project, he didn't have to make the image quality such a mess!"

Yamamoto Ichiro muttered under his breath.

Ichiro Yamamoto also played this game, and it truly lives up to its reputation as a groundbreaking game. Even he, a marketing manager who doesn't play games much, found it very enjoyable.

The only downside is the poorly drawn and crudely drawn character images that keep you up at night.

It can be said that apart from the main characters and NPCs of a few professions, everyone else is a weirdo.

Fortunately, the game's background is about resisting an invasion from hell, so it's not a big problem. It even attracted a group of eccentric fans in Japan who think that Diablo's graphics should look like this.

On the other side, in the Ugly Country.

In the U.S., the sale of Diablo didn't go as smoothly as in Japan.

The blizzard directly sued Diablo.

As a result, Diablo only sold a few copies initially, and then sales plummeted.

There's another reason for this: Blizzard also released Diablo, which wasn't even fully completed yet.

The price is $19.90, which is equivalent to 2600 yen. Sega sells it for $76.90 in the U.S., which is about 10,000 yen, making it more expensive than in Japan.

These two factors combined resulted in poor sales.

Fortunately, Sega's sale in the US wasn't for profit; it was purely to suppress Blizzard and annoy them.

Sega doesn't care whether Chen Dong stole Blizzard's game through any means.

All I need to know is that Sega made a fortune from this game.

Going to court? Who's afraid of who?

Aside from being sold abroad, it's selling extremely well in Europe.

It certainly fits their mythology, and the game content is indeed quite good.

As for the image quality, it has received widespread praise.

Look, look, this is what a demon looks like!

Those tall and handsome figures in the paintings, how can they be called demons? None of the villains look like villains at all!

This is what demons from hell should look like!

Soon after, Yamamoto Ichiro and Chen Dong, upon receiving the news, both fell silent about the extreme tastes in Europe.

After dinner in the small apartment.

Chen Dong is on the phone with Yamamoto Ichiro.

Yamamoto Ichiro said helplessly, "Chen-san, it seems that your game is selling very well in all places except for the United States."

"Internally, we predict that this game will sell at least 80,000 copies by the New Year (January 1st in Japan)!"

"And as time goes on, there will be even more! The growth rate is expected to slow down to around 250,000 units, but it is very likely that it will eventually sell 500,000 units."

"Congratulations to Mr. Chen! You've made a fortune this time!"

Chen Dong was overjoyed when he heard the news.

This is a huge windfall! How could I not be happy?

Chen Dong used version 2 for Diablo, but the graphics were rough and poorly made.

In terms of cost, it only took one month. The labor cost plus the production cost of only five yuan per disc totaled no more than 260 yen. In addition, the advertising cost was only about 500 yen.

In other words, a CD that costs 8000 yen can generate a net profit of 7500 yen.

According to the agreement, 361 Inc. will receive 4500 yen for each Diablo DVD!

Of course, this is before tax. After tax, the amount will be 2250 yen, with tax accounting for half of that.

96年汇率，1美元兑130日元，1美元兑8.2人民币。

In other words, the net profit after tax is $17.3, which is equivalent to 141.9 RMB.

This profit is at least three and a half times more than selling game cartridges!

Chen Dong's 361 Company sells a cartridge game for 135 yuan, but only makes a profit of about 35 yuan.

After congratulating him, Yamamoto Ichiro asked tentatively with a smile on his face on the other end of the phone, "Mr. Chen, how are your sales going?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Dong chuckled and said, "I'm ashamed to say that we have a serious problem with copying and pasting here, which has resulted in poor sales."

As for the exact amount, Chen Dong didn't tell Yamamoto Ichiro at all.

Would Chen Dong really say that each of the four directly administered cities of Beijing, Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Shandong has already sold 50,000 units?

That's right. 361 currently has sales locations in four cities, and as 361 has begun to cultivate these areas, it has greatly suppressed piracy.

The Diablo DVD is cheaper in China than in Japan, selling for only 130 yuan, while the production cost is only 16 yuan.

114 million before tax, 57 million after tax! In just these four cities alone, a total of 200,000 units have been sold in a month, with a net profit of 11.14 million after tax!

This caused 361 Company's assets to swell by half in just one month!

If you factor in the profits from island nations and Europe, the value of 361° Inc. is incomparable.

Although Yamamoto Ichiro didn't know the specifics, he could guess to some extent. He cursed the little fox in his heart, then said some literary nonsense before hanging up the phone.

As soon as he hung up the phone, Chen Dong felt like jumping up and down on the spot.

"Dongzi, you're amazing this time! You managed to earn so much in such a short time!"

Chu Mengran was obviously aware of the situation; Chen Dong had told her. At this moment, she was looking at Chen Dong with an innocent and adoring expression.

Chen Dong laughed heartily and happily picked up Chu Mengran in a princess carry, striding towards the bedroom.

"There's more to come!"
