446 To Fight a Price War
On the morning of December 24th, after Qin Han got up, he stretched and opened the curtains.
Then, he was surprised to find that it was snowing.
"Sure enough, it's the white season again..." Qin Han sighed, and then realized something, "Why do you say 're Again'? Is Bai's genes already penetrated into the bone marrow?"
Unfortunately, no one in this parallel world could understand this meme. After he said "Why are you so skillful?", he immediately responded with a sentence "Beat Bai Xuejia to death".
This may be the loneliness that only time travelers enjoy.
Looking up at the snowy sky, Qin Han went to wash and organize. After breakfast, he started to get busy for today's dinner.
He invited all four girls whom he was closest to for this Christmas Eve dinner.
For the Japanese art world, the busiest day is the end of the year one week later. Various New Year special programs, New Year's Eve live broadcasts, and the Red and White Song Festival, known as the Japanese Spring Festival Gala, are all concentrated on that day.
Yui Aragaki and Masami Nagasawa were fine. Their firm only accepted the invitation from TBS to attend a large variety show live broadcast on New Year's Eve. Nana Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi, as members of the popular idol group Nogizaka 46, not only had to participate in the Red and White Song Festival, but also had to go to two more venues later. I'm afraid it would take the next day to have time to rest.
Qin Han estimated that on the evening of the 31st, he could only crouch in the quilt alone, eating oranges and watching the red and white songs, just like an elderly person who was lonely and widowed.
Just when I woke up early in the morning of the Qin and Han dynasties and were busy with Christmas Eve dinner, I was separated from Japan by France on the Eurasian continent. At this time, it had just crossed zero and entered December 24th.
Lyon, a famous city in southeastern France, is also the location of the headquarters of the multinational entertainment group Vilodi.
In a luxurious apartment east of the city overlooking the intersection of the Rhone River and the Thorne River, after a burst of rapid and violent gasps, it gradually returned to calm.
Jean Menel, sweating all over, lit a cigarette, hoping that nicotine could heal his newly injured mind.
There is no way, no matter which man is ridden by a fat woman of 300 pounds, he will be hurt by his heart.
But there was nothing I could do. Even if I felt nauseous, Jean Menel could only finish the cannon he had made in tears.
The reason why he sacrificed his "color" so much was naturally to avenge the Qin and Han dynasties.
Since returning to France with Las Vegas, Menel has been brewing his revenge plan. He knew that although he was a senior executive of Vilodi Interactive Entertainment, his work was only responsible for the development of game projects. He could do nothing to fight against "enemy" far away in a foreign country.
Therefore, he must use the help of others.
Menel's goal is to be the marketing director of the group - the fat woman lying beside him now.
In the French life, Menel is also a master of love. He didn't take much effort to catch the fat woman.
The relationship between the two quickly became as close as possible, and Menel was able to easily exert influence on his "fat girlfriend".
The reason why he did this was to make Qin Han suffer a big loss in the Christmas game promotion war, and the newly launched "Terraria" sales were greatly reduced and could not meet expectations.
Moreover, this is just Menel's first move. Later, he will bribe the game media and spread news on social networks, exaggerating the negative effects of "Terraria"'s unsatisfactory sales a hundred times.
Menel believes that under this overwhelming publicity, the reputation of "Terraria" will decline again and again, and fewer and fewer players are willing to buy and try this game, and in the end, they will have to end up in disgrace.
When Menel thought of this ending, he felt extremely happy, and the pain caused by having to be a fat woman's boyfriend was also reduced a lot.
"Dear, today is Christmas Eve. Have you decided on your marketing department's Christmas promotion strategy?" Menel hugged the other party with a bearish waist and asked softly.
"Of course. After listening to your suggestions, I have re-established our Villedi gaming products, and the average discount on the steam platform's Christmas promotion price has increased from 50% to 65%.
"That's great, I believe this move will make the sales figures look better," Menel said.
For major game manufacturers, Christmas is actually not a peak sales season. The truly fierce business war often occurs on Thanksgiving a month ago.
The second day after Thanksgiving is the famous Black Friday, with merchants selling big promotions and buying big nations.
On this day, many terrible bloody conflicts and many heroic deeds were born. Countless heroic security guards sacrificed their lives to maintain order in the mall...
Well, the above is just the exaggerated plot in "South Park" and has nothing to do with reality.
However, it can also be seen how terrible the shopping enthusiasm of European and American people was on Black Friday.
Many game manufacturers will release their annual game masterpieces in November to catch up with the Thanksgiving shopping craze.
At this time, consumers have a sufficient budget in their pockets, and there are many parents who will take the opportunity to buy games as Christmas gifts for their children.
After Black Friday, by Christmas, gamers either sold the game they wanted and their desire to spend a lot, or the money in their pockets had been emptied on Thanksgiving and wanted to buy it again, but they were willing but unable to do so.
In Europe and the United States, Christmas is not the peak season for game sales.
But in the East, it is another situation.
In China and Japan, Christmas is both imported products, and basically only young people will celebrate festivals. For gamers, this festival will not have much impact on their game consumption plans, except for those with boyfriends and girlfriends.
Moreover, in Japan, because Christmas is close to the New Year, children who can get New Year's money will soon have a significant increase in the sales of games released on Christmas.
When Christmas comes, although the wallets of Eastern players will be more bullish and Western players will be more deflated, they are still very happy with the Christmas promotions held on Steam, the world's largest gaming platform.
