Chapter 111: The Way to Make Money Volume Two Ends(1/2)
Dorothy got off the bed with her feet bare, and sat in a duck-sitting position behind Shangze Palace. She rubbed her eyes while looking at the game screen he was playing, and said doubtfully: "Believer, I see something is wrong with your game screen. This
It doesn’t seem like a zombie-fighting game, right?”
Dorothy saw that the protagonist controlled by Shangze Palace was a man with yellow hair like him. He was holding a big sword about the same width as his body. At this time, he was constantly slashing the sky with the big sword.
The creatures flying around show extremely gorgeous special effects in every move and every move.
Uesawa Miyashiro didn't even look back and said: "Yes, this is a newly released game, "Final Fantasy 7 Remake"."
"Final Fantasy, such a familiar name..."
Dorothy muttered it twice, her eyes widened suddenly, and she woke up, "The audience in my live broadcast room yesterday were still discussing this matter. I heard that the price of this game in the Japanese area was more expensive than other areas when it was released on PS4.
A lot, nearly 10,000 yen per game!”
Uesawa Palace nodded and complained along with her: "Well, yes, the price is more than a bit higher than the low-price area, and this is only one-third of the game. If you want to play the entire game plot,
It costs about 30,000 yen, and SE is really good at ripping people off.”
In the past, people thought that the price of Octopath Traveler was outrageous enough, but Japanese manufacturers are constantly refreshing the price limit of games. The most outrageous one is naturally the development of the fifth generation of the "Dead or Alive" series.
It costs nearly 80,000 yen to buy the DLC, which is more than 5,000 yuan converted into RMB.
The latest 6th generation just announced the sale of the final DLC a few days ago, and buying it all will cost nearly 40,000 yen. If this society hadn't kidnapped Jill, who would be willing to be fooled?
In comparison, Nintendo is the most conscientious. The game not only maintains its value but also keeps the price at 60 US dollars. If you buy it with a membership coupon, 10,000 yen can buy two first-party masterpieces.
Uesawa Miya is always worried that if the price of the game keeps rising like this, how many people will continue to be willing to support the genuine version?
Dorothy cried out sadly: "You know it's so expensive and you still buy it. Isn't this encouraging the bad habits of those profiteers? By the time people get used to buying games at high prices, the industry will be finished!"
"This game is an RPG. Although it only has one-third of the content, it is said that it takes at least 30 hours to complete the game. Although the price is expensive, the game is still worth the price. It is more conscientious than Capcom selling semi-finished products.
.”
Dorothy shook Uesawa Miya's shoulders vigorously and said angrily: "Didn't I ask you what you think of the game? Now is the time for you to buy the game! How can you still have so much money now? I remember
Didn’t you say it’s time to collect rent in the next few days? By then, not only will we not be able to get a cent of the rent, but we will also have to give them another hundred thousand!”
Today is May 3rd, and the 5th of every month is the day when rent is paid, and that day is also the day when the tenant couple moves out.
In other words, if the house inspection is correct in two days and there is no damage, then Shangze Palace will pay another 200,000 yuan to others. In addition to the 100,000 yuan given by another tenant, Shangze Palace will still need to pay 100,000 yuan.
Yuan.
Dorothy felt really sad to have to hand over enough money to buy Lingmeng's chastity to others.
After deducting the expenses of these days and the money to buy games, Shangze Palace had 160,000 yuan left. After giving the 100,000 yuan to the tenants, they only had 60,000 yuan left.
Not only that, before May 15th, Uesawa Palace and the others have to take out another 200,000 yen and return it to the loan shark organization "Dajiangshan". Otherwise, the interest will compound and the interest will compound...Next
The monthly repayment is 400,000 yen.
Dorothy has only been live broadcasting for a few days now, and she only got 30,000 yen after rounding up. It seems impossible to pay back the money before the deadline.
However, Shangze Palace didn't seem to be too worried about this.
"Stop shaking, I can't even beat the game." Uesawa Palace paused the game screen and said helplessly, "Don't worry about the money. I have already figured out how to get the money."
"Don't even think about playing riddles. I won't feel at ease if you don't tell me!"
Seeing that Dorothy was not giving up, Uesawa Palace stood up helplessly from the ground, came to the cabinet with various peripheral figurines, stepped on the table and took down the top cardboard box.
.
Dorothy watched curiously as Shang Zegong opened the box and found that the whole box was filled with CDs.
"What are these?" Dorothy picked up a CD and read out the words on it, "'Flowlight' third performance, Yuki Akane special edition."
Dorothy said in surprise: "Believer, there are many duplicate CDs here. You don't need to buy so many even if you just want to listen to songs!"
Uesawa Miya shrugged: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't buy this. 'Flowlight' is the idol group that my predecessor has always been addicted to. He bought so many CDs just for the bonus handshake coupons. He wanted to have sex with Yuuki Aka."
It’s just that I hold my hand more times. These are brand new versions that have not been opened. By the way, do you mind if I move the bed down?"
Before Dorothy had time to protest, Shang Zegong had already thrown everything on the bed into Dorothy's face, then directly lifted the bed and put it aside.
The things under the bed were revealed, and they were all full of CDs.
Dorothy's throat trembled, and her voice trembled: "Believer, your predecessor bought these things? How much did you spend..."
"The minimum price for a CD is one thousand yen. There are two boxes on top of them, both of which are the same thing. Including the ones under the bed, there are probably two thousand CDs here."
Uesawa Palace calmly gave a huge number.
"Two million yen..." Dorothy exclaimed, "You said these things are worth at least two million yen!?"
Uesawa Palace nodded and continued: "In addition to these, there are about half that cannot be put away and are sealed up and put in the rented warehouse. Of course, I have already told the head of the household."
"There is still half, which means 4 million yuan..." Dorothy covered her head, unable to bear such a huge amount of information, "Wait, let me be quiet, what do you mean?
You spent 4 million yuan on that idol group called flowlight?"
"No, to be precise, it should be Yuuki Akane alone." Uesawa Palace thought for a moment and then said, "Also, 4 million is just the approximate price of these CDs. In terms of the money spent on her,
If you include tickets for various concerts and support activities, it should exceed 10 million."
10 million yen, what is this concept?
The average salary of newly graduated college students in Japan is 200,000 yen to 10 million yen, which requires them to spend more than four years to earn so much without spending any money.
Sounds simple, right?
But Japan is a very expensive place. Taking work in Tokyo as an example, if the company does not include food and accommodation, the monthly rent will be about 70,000 yen, food expenses will also be about 40,000 yen, telephone bills and Internet
The monthly fee is about 10,000 yen. The transportation expenses and salary may be reimbursed, so we don’t count them for the time being.
In other words, if a college student who has just entered society does not have any recreational activities and goes home after work every day, he can only save 80,000 yen.
But don’t forget, Japan is a country that attaches great importance to social interaction. If there are no entertainment activities on weekends, it is often considered to be lonely. Therefore, normal people in society will choose to travel and party with colleagues and friends on weekends, or engage in entertainment activities.
.
A month is four weeks, so even if you only spend 10,000 yen per week, it still costs 40,000 yen.
This means that a normal social person can only save 40,000 yen or 10 million yen a month, and it will take about 20 years to save so much.
If you want to spend all the remaining money on idols...
"Shangze Palace, are you an idiot?"
Dorothy was jealous, and instead of calling out each believer, she directly called out his name. She pinched Shang Zegong's neck with both hands and shook his shoulders crazily. She said angrily, "You prodigal son, you have so much money."
You don't use it to serve me, just use it to buy figurines and peripheral games, but you actually spend this money on an idiot woman who won't even let you look at Yue Xiong!"
It stands to reason that if Shang Zegong's predecessor sold his old house, coupled with various subsidies from the government and renting it out for 200,000 yuan a month, he could easily live into his thirties or forties without having to worry about money.
If he saves some money and doesn't buy things indiscriminately, the money will be enough for him to find a job, marry a wife and have children, and have a lifetime of expenses. Maybe he can also leave some as a legacy to his descendants.
However, the predecessor of Shangze Palace only spent the money in a few years and squandered it. It is not an exaggeration to call him "a prodigal son".
"Calm down. I've already said it. This is my predecessor's problem and has nothing to do with me." Shang Zegong's head kept shaking back and forth, and the pair of small white steamed buns suddenly grew larger and smaller in front of his eyes.
It's so small that Shang Zegong feels a little dizzy.
"Okay, stop dazzling me. You won't get the money back even if you dodge it again."
Dorothy let go of Shang Zegong, her face filled with anger: "What do you want to do by showing these things to me? Do you just want to show off to me!?"
She's just a girl with similar looks. She's far different from a god like herself. Why can she get so many offerings? Isn't it good to have so much money and use it for prostitution? Japan has no control over it anyway!
Dorothy was very depressed, but she also knew that this was an established fact and had little to do with Shangze Palace, so she slowly calmed down.
Uesawa Palace sorted out his words: "What I mean is that if you sell these CDs, you should be able to get a working capital. If you want to sell them at half price, you can get at least 2 million yen."
This is what Uesawa Miya thought of when he saw other idol groups in Akihabara. He had bought so many CDs before, but he was not interested. It would be just right to sell them.
"Will anyone really buy it?" Dorothy asked curiously.
Uesawa Palace smiled proudly: "Generally speaking, idol groups do not print many individual albums for each member. After all, these need to be sold after the concert, and it is impossible to confirm how many people will print them.
Buy, only print a certain amount of CDs each time.
There have been several times where my predecessor has covered Yuki Akane's albums. In other words, these albums are out of print and many people who want to buy them can't. Now if I put these albums online
, there are definitely a lot of people buying it.”
Although the group "flowlight" is far from AKB48, it still has a certain degree of popularity among idol groups. They have appeared on some large and small shows and have a certain number of fans all over the country.
Many CDs are usually sold immediately after the concert. There are many people who want to come to the show but can't spare the time due to time or money. For them, they can buy an out-of-print CD at a second-hand price.
, this is definitely profitable.
After listening to what Shang Zegong said, Dorothy also felt that it was feasible and urged Shang Zegong: "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry!"
"I still want to play games..." Although Uesawa Miya complained, he still came to the computer, opened the Yahoo Auction and Mercari (Coal Stove) website platforms, and uploaded and filled in relevant information.
, posted the photos I took on it, spent half an hour classifying the albums one by one, and set the price.
All are on sale at 50% off.
Yahoo Auction is a bidding method that allows people to buy high-quality and low-priced things at low prices.
As for mercari (coal stove), it is more like the salted fish of China. Registered users of the platform can store their idle things on it for sale at various price discounts.
