Chapter 430 Benchmark
On the third day of the console release,
the combined sales of Switch in China and overseas officially exceeded 3.5 million units!
Linmu Financial Holdings.
When the top management heard the news, they were almost crazy with joy!
Three days! 3.5 million units!
Overseas sales contributed almost half of the sales, and both domestic and overseas sales were booming in just three days!
And now, the popularity of the console continues to rise! Both in China and overseas.
Overseas dedicated operators also reported... The joke of not licking the cartridge even became a hot topic on social media!
This also means that in the future, more players will buy the console...
How can we not be happy! 】
Seeing this situation.
GameStop, the largest retail store in Europe and the United States, has changed its strategy, from being indifferent to it before to being enthusiastic, increasing the purchase volume, and placing the Switch console in a prominent position.
The banks in China that Linmu Financial Holdings owed debts had a bad attitude before, but they did not put too much pressure on Linmu Financial Holdings for the sake of Linmu Studio. After all, the sword of financial deleveraging is hanging over everyone's head, and it is difficult for everyone to do it...
But since Linmu Financial Holdings transformed into a console company, and the popularity of the console has continued to rise since it was officially released.
The attitude of the bank has also changed...
Let's not talk about the debt for now. Some commercial banks even asked Linmu Financial Holdings if it still needed money...
Although the bank's move of lending umbrellas on sunny days and collecting umbrellas on rainy days is very interesting, it also indirectly shows that they have confidence in Linmu Financial Holdings again!
After all, three million consoles were sold in three days!
The life of a console is at least 5-6 years, which means that if nothing unexpected happens, the sales of switch consoles alone may exceed 100 million units.
As for the console industry, to be honest, although it is said that the console itself has never been the biggest revenue point for console manufacturers.
Now the mainstream console manufacturers are selling hardware at a loss.
But the life of a game console is really long, and a long life means that over time, its manufacturing cost will become lower and lower...
Because game consoles are also highly integrated electronic products, just like mobile phones, mobile phones will drop in price every year or two, because the speed of information technology advancement is very fast.
With a long lifespan and the manufacturing cost decreasing continuously, the profit of the entire life cycle of the game console is very considerable. If you really calculate it, it is probably higher than that of mobile phones and PCs.
What's more, the switch console launched by Linmu Financial Holdings and Linmu Studio this time... was not sold at a loss from the beginning. Linmu Studio customized the chips from Reflecta in large quantities, and because of Reflecta's careful thinking and cooperation, the price it received was ridiculously low.
If you really calculate it based on the sales volume of 100 million.
The profit from selling the console alone is a huge amount of money!
Besides.
The most important source of income for the console is not the console itself!
Games, peripherals, memberships, game commissions...
And Lin Xi has made it clear that Linmu Studio has already started or is preparing to do these...
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that the bank's attitude has changed and the senior management of Linmu Financial Holdings is ecstatic.
In addition.
Linmu Financial Holdings has successfully taken the first step in its transformation, which has actually triggered some more far-reaching impacts...
...
Office.
Lin Xi looked at the information in her hand, but she couldn't read it anyway...
She sighed and shook her head gently, feeling a little emotional and a little funny.
These days.
Linmu Financial Holdings has come back to life.
Just like an old man who is about to die, suddenly regains his youth...
All the problems that gave her a headache have been solved.
And every staff member she met in the headquarters greeted her with a smile.
Especially those senior executives, they smiled more brightly when they saw her than when they saw her father Lin Bing...
And all this was because of the host computer on the table and her sister.
Sometimes, she was in a trance...
"Labo? Cardboard?"
Lin Xi sighed, barely cheered up, carefully flipped through the information in her hand, and then saw a strange word and asked curiously.
"It's President Lin... Lin Yao's latest idea, but I heard it's quite troublesome and may take some time to plan. This is just for us to prepare in advance."
Lin Xi's secretary Pei Yingyun explained.
"I understand."
Lin Xi nodded, and then continued to flip through it, and saw a lot of ideas proposed by Lin Yao.
It was obvious.
Lin Yao has a plan to completely transform Linmu Financial Holdings...
not limited to just making consoles, there will be quite a lot of peripherals and derivative products in the future.
This is a whole industry!
"...She's worked hard too."
Lin Xi put down the information, rubbed his brows, and then said with some heartache: "She's actually quite tired."
"Yeah."
Pei Yingyun nodded gently, then smiled: "But, if Chairman Lin knew, he would be very happy..."
"He's bragging to everyone in there now that Lin Xi and Lin Yao are his daughters... He's really happy."
Lin Xi opened his mouth and was about to reply.
But Zhang Youjie suddenly pushed the door open and walked in, and directly teased the two sisters' father, his childhood friend.
Lin Xi immediately shut up, expressionless.
Pei Yingyun smiled when she saw Zhang Youjie, then bent down, turned around and walked out.
"What's wrong, are you unhappy?"
Zhang Youjie waited for Pei Yingyun to leave, then looked at Lin Xi who was sitting elegantly.
"Very happy." Lin Xi said expressionlessly.
"You don't look happy at all."
Zhang Youjie shook his head helplessly, and then said: "Let me tell you something happy. Those people your father brought in have also heard the news. I heard that many people are dying... I can't believe it and can't accept it."
"..."
Lin Xi tried to hold back, but still couldn't help it, and a little smile reappeared on her face.
"Your father actually misses you guys." Zhang Youjie saw her expression and immediately took advantage of the opportunity.
"...I know, I will go to see him with Xiaoyao at the end of the year." Lin Xi sighed.
"Yeah."
Zhang Youjie smiled contentedly, and then suddenly changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this. I received a message recently. Do you want to know? Xiaoxi."
"Hmm?" Lin Xi looked at the mysterious Zhang Youjie and was a little curious.
Zhang Youjie usually doesn't act like this.
"Although the game industry is a bit sensitive, after all, the products are sold overseas. If Linmu Financial Holdings continues at this pace, it is very likely... it will become a benchmark for real estate transformation."
Zhang Youjie pointed to his head and whispered.
"..."
Lin Xi was stunned when he heard this, and then asked hurriedly: "Really? Uncle Zhang?"
"Well, there is such a rumor. Although it has not been confirmed, a large part of the reason why our largest cooperative bank changed its attitude suddenly is because of this matter. Do you understand?"
Zhang Youjie smiled and then said happily: "And your father is so happy, and this is also the reason, because he can't do it, you two sisters have done it." "
..."
Lin Xi pursed her lips hard, and even clenched her fists under the table, very excited.
If it is really used as a benchmark... it means that Linmu Financial Holdings will have a much easier road in the future!
Because the benchmark cannot fall under normal circumstances.
However.
Excitement is excitement.
Soon, Lin Xi calmed down, shook her head, and refuted Zhang Youjie's words: "It's not the two sisters, it's Lin Yao, it's all thanks to our Lin Yao."
"You two sisters, you still distinguish so clearly?"
Zhang Youjie looked at Lin Xi mischievously: "You know your sister doesn't think so."
"..."
Lin Xi shook her head gently, and then smiled.
She suddenly wanted to see her sister.
