The reason why we purchase products from four companies instead of just one is that Tiangong Technology wants to learn something from the products of these four companies, learn from their strengths, innovate continuously, and eventually develop our own unique approach!

Although the purchase of this high-end CNC machine tool was not perfect, Zhao Ye was still satisfied.

In the past, China didn't have five more five-axis CNC machining centers (including the Philips one), especially the four top-of-the-line German-made machining centers that we've purchased now. They are technologically advanced, and each one costs at least $40 million.

Of course, it was still too expensive, but there was nothing I could do. China can't manufacture them. If you want to buy such an advanced machining center, you have to pay a high price.

This is just like how Wujiang Group fleeces other people.

After a period of time.

"Boss, all four processing centers have been loaded onto the ship, and the shipping route is expected to take about 30 days to reach China."

"Thank you all for your hard work. But now, you will all be boarding the ship. Please make sure the processing center is safe!"

"clear!!!"

A moment later, Zhao Ye put down the phone, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked down at the endless stream of ships on the Huangpu River, and fell into deep thought...

...

Knock knock knock!

A knock on the door startled Zhao Ye from his reverie.

"Please come in!" Zhao Ye said.

At this moment, Wang Jizhi pushed open the door and entered.

"boss!"

Wang Jizhi greeted them.

Zhao Ye nodded slightly, then gestured for him to sit on the sofa.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Mr. Wang?" Zhao Ye poured him a cup of tea and asked casually.

Wang Jizhi said, "Boss, the game development department has completed the game's development. In addition, we have stockpiled 5.6 million 'Tomahawk' home game consoles; it's time to launch! Currently, Sega has already sold 500,000 MDs in Japan; we can't let them continue to grow stronger!!"

Zhao Ye smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, then you should hurry up and make preparations so that Wujiang Games can hold a grand product launch event!"

"Okay, boss, then let's set the date for March 1st, 1989?"

"OK!"

"Boss, what's the price of the 'Tomahawk'?"

“In the Japanese market, the Tomahawk is priced in Japanese yen; in the American market, it is priced in US$249,” Zhao Ye replied after a moment’s thought.

The production cost of the Tomahawk is around $100. This is because the Tomahawk is 100% domestically produced, with most of its components manufactured by Wujiang Group, which is why the production cost is so low.

In fact, Zhao Ye priced the "Tomahawk" quite expensively.

Generally speaking, game consoles should be sold at a low profit margin or even at a loss, then a game console platform should be built, and finally, money should be made by selling game software.

For example, the Sega MD is priced at 21,000 yen in the Japanese market and $189 in the North American market.

Sega isn't like the Wujiang Group, capable of producing most of its own parts. Therefore, the cost of the MD is definitely much higher compared to the "Tomahawk." For Sega to think it can make money from hardware is simply wishful thinking; it might even lose money.

Parts manufacturers, middlemen, online stores... who doesn't want to make money?

Zhao Ye dared to price the "Battle Axe" so high mainly for three reasons. One is the "Boundless" brand; the name alone is enough to make gamers around the world willing to pay for it.

Secondly, the "Golden Tomahawk" home game console itself is very powerful. The powerful 16-bit Kirin 2 processor, coupled with a special integrated graphics card, makes the game graphics of the "Golden Tomahawk" far surpass those of the Sega MD.

Thirdly, for game storage, CD-ROM is used as the game storage medium, enabling developers at Wujiang to create games with larger capacity, better quality, and more perfect performance!

Sega MD used game cartridges, which had a storage capacity of only tens of megabytes, while CD-ROM discs had a storage capacity of about 600 megabytes. The quality of games that could be developed from them was incomparable!

Moreover, Wujiang Games has made ample preparations for the launch of "Warhawk," developing dozens of games in the process.

Games that sold over 1 million copies of their cartridges all got a sequel.

In addition, there are nine new games: Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, Street Fighter, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Journey to the West: The Legend of the Monkey King, Three Kingdoms Warriors, Divine Sword and Demon Slayer, Metal Slug, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Crash Bandicoot.

It's worth mentioning that in the past, in the console gaming world, "Mario" was Nintendo's mascot, "Sonic the Hedgehog" was Sega's iconic character, and "Crash Bandicoot" was Sony's mascot!

In this life, Zhao Ye directly instructed the game developers to develop "Sonic the Hedgehog" and "Crash Bandicoot" ahead of schedule, making them the two pillars of Wujiang Games.

The other seven games in the new series are also extremely popular classics from the previous game.

Zhao Ye has used cheats to this extent; players worldwide will surely go crazy for Wujiang Games!!!

Therefore, even if the "Tomahawk" is expensive, players all over the world will still flock to it!

Wang Jizhi was slightly surprised when he heard Zhao Ye's words, but when he thought of the profound heritage of Wujiang Games, he felt relieved.

"Boss, what should the retail price of the game discs be?"

"Depending on the game, in the Japanese market, game discs are priced between 2,500 and 3,000 yen; in the American market, they range from $15 to $20!" Zhao Ye hesitated for a moment before answering.
