The efficiency is incredible; even those who went to the sea couldn't get the machines they needed, yet Huaqiangbei easily replicated them.
Lin Yifeng even saw a Capcom game collection board on the table.
To understand why, even before Capcom had a clear plan to create an arcade compilation, Huaqiangbei had already somehow managed to mix several games together.
In some respects, Huaqiangbei's current technological capabilities are a level above Capcom's.
This made him feel ashamed.
"As expected of Huaqiangbei."
When the boss heard this, he thought Lin Yifeng was praising him, so he leaned closer and deliberately lowered his voice to explain.
"Brother, I'll tell you the truth."
"I have people over there."
"In two months, once my paperwork is done, I'll be Capcom's regional manager."
"While I can still source the goods from the factory, I'll give you a lower price for this board."
"Take this number."
Lin Yifeng watched the gestures his boss was making.
5000 yuan, the price of a single board.
Without a doubt, this price is the lowest in the arcade market.
Back then, the most popular arcade game, Street Fighter, typically cost around 40,000 RMB per unit, and that was just the price of the arcade machine itself.
A board like this, if bought separately, would probably cost around 20,000 yuan.
Adding in the remaining assembly costs, the cost of one arcade machine is around 2.5.
To understand why Yang Biaozi and his gang could make so much money, you only need to look at the demand for arcade machines. That tells you how much money they could make on a single trip, just by dismantling the machines and hauling them back.
"The price is good."
"But I'll take another look."
Lin Yifeng pulled Ye Yuqing away from the counter.
Ye Yuqing was still wondering why Lin Yifeng wasn't tempted by such a low price and the prospect of becoming a "regional manager."
Lin Yifeng also told her not to worry, and that she would know what was going on after walking around with him for a while.
If you go any further, it gets really lively.
Veronica Yip's eyes widened as if she had witnessed a different world.
After working as a regional manager for Capcom, Lin Yifeng went on to encounter regional managers for Sega and Namco.
Even more outrageous, Lin Yifeng saw someone claim to be the "Nintendo Arcade Regional Manager".
Lin Yifeng even wanted to ask him where Nintendo's arcade machines were located.
Just for this one floor, Ye Yuqing estimated its size.
Just among arcade giants Capcom and Sega, they encountered at least eight or nine regional managers, not to mention countless others.
Seeing Ye Yuqing's bewildered expression, Lin Yifeng chuckled and teased her.
"They're all talented people, right?"
"I also think they are all talented people."
