20,000 yen a day gave this shop manager a big shock.

That's a doubling of income.

It was hard to imagine what kind of magic this thing possessed.

But he, who was quite keen on business, had realised the value of this thing.

He was going to buy this machine!

And the more the merrier!

Didn't you see the group of children waving the coins in their hands as if they could put in an unlimited amount?

In the end it was too few machines and so many of these kids still left with regrets, not having had the chance to play for too long.

If there were enough machines, then all the money in these children's hands would be theirs!

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper had been waiting for Bamboo Tour Star to arrive early in the morning.

He was sure that Bamboo Yuxing would come today.

With the shrewd look in that young man's eyes when he was talking to him, there was no reason why he could not know how popular his products were.

Sure enough, Bamboo Yuxing really came.

When the shop assistant informed himself, he bounced up from his seat almost instantly.

He couldn't care less about his eyes, which were already a little red now.

"Sir, I'm glad you're here again."

This time, the shopkeeper was noticeably more polite.

For this time it was no longer the other party who had a request for him, but he himself who had a request for him.

Faced with this shopkeeper's look, Bamboo Youxing was not the least bit surprised.

"Hello shopkeeper, I'm here to collect the money from yesterday's coin drop."

"Of course, that all belongs to you, but before that, there is another thing I want to ask."

"What?"

Bamboo Youxing asked rhetorically.

And the expression on his face actually proved that Bamboo Youxing already had a premonition of what the other party would say.

"I would like to ask, that thing you said the day before yesterday, that is, that I could just buy this machine if I am interested, is it still true?"

Bamboo Youxing smiled, "Of course, if you are really interested, of course it counts."

"Then ... how much is this machine? I've decided after a day of consideration that I want to buy it."

Take Youxing gave a very 'friendly' smile.

Of course, this smile was a complete traitor in the eyes of this shop manager.

The shopkeeper, who had been in the business world for so many years, immediately understood that the other party was ready to start asking for more.

"Two hundred thousand yen a unit, how many units do you need?"

"Two ... puff cough."

Two hundred thousand yen.

This is not a small amount of money.

In current Japan, a computer would cost a maximum of 150,000 or 160,000 yen.

Unless it's one of those higher-end professional computers for businesses.

And this is the period after the economic bubble burst.

Computers, which are so dispensable to life, have immediately become the fastest depreciating item.

Nowadays, if you acquire a normal computer from an individual, you can probably get a good one for fifty to sixty thousand yen.

This console, on the other hand, cost 200,000 yen.

That's almost like a money grab.

The actual cost of the console was just two thousand yen.

One thousand yen of that is the cost of the circuit board processor for the console.

Five hundred yen was the cost of the mass customized red and white cheap material shell.

The remaining five hundred yen was the assortment of included power cords and some other messy stuff.

Of course this does not take into account the cost of labour.

After all, it was something that Takeshi and Ari Hayasawa had managed themselves, and with Ari Hayasawa's daily wage costs included, it would only cost a maximum of three thousand yen.

Take Yusei is all about the lion's share.

When it comes to individual users, it is perfectly possible for Takeshi to peddle it cheaper.

But if it's this kind of merchant, Take Youxing pit up doesn't care at all.

"Two ... two hundred thousand yen is too much, this machine doesn't look expensive, sir ..."

"My name is Takeshi Yusei."

"Oh! Takenyou-kun, could it be cheaper? Of course, if you have enough machines, I'm willing to buy them in bulk, at least ten."

At the side, Ari Hayasawa's face was expressionless.

But when Takeshi shouted out 200,000 yen a unit, and the other party was willing to buy ten units, Ari Hayasawa couldn't help but twitch her face a little.

Take Youxing leisurely said, "Shopkeeper, let me do the math for you haha, if there is no accident yesterday, the income from this machine should be around ten thousand seven days?"

"Uh ... it should be twenty thousand ..."

Bamboo Yuxing faintly stared.

This was beyond his own expectations.

He remembered that the group of kids should all be very good at playing this game already.

Once they became skilled, there was usually nothing wrong with playing for four or five minutes a coin.

"Twenty thousand? Then that's double, think about it boss, a machine for two hundred thousand, even in the worst case scenario, you'll only need about ten days to make it back with interest."

In this aspect of coin-operated income, there was no way for the shopkeeper to hide it.

This was because Take Youxing only needed to check the number of coins in the coin box to get a clear picture.

So the shopkeeper could only answer honestly.

And this was where Takehiro was most confident.

The shopkeeper didn't have any reason to refuse at all.

Because the income was simply too explosive.

Of course, it was impossible for a machine to earn 20,000 every day.

But even if the daily income was only 10,000, that was still a blood profit.

If all ten machines were purchased, twenty days would pay back the capital, and the rest, no matter how many days, would be pure profit.

Pachinko is indeed equally profitable.

But that's not something for children to play with.

But this game machine, however, harvests the children's pocket money.

It sounds cruel as hell, but then a businessman needs to think about profit.

"So ... two hundred thousand, the price is not negotiable because, apart from putting a machine in your place, I have also put it in other places."

The shop manager immediately tensed up when he heard Bamboo Tour Star's words.

"I came to you first, and if you don't want to buy it at that price, I think there will always be someone willing to buy it in the dozen places behind."

Bamboo Yuxing's smile was growing wider and wider, looking very affable.

But the shopkeeper was getting to understand Bamboo Yuxing's calculations.

There was really ... no reason to refuse.

When Take Youxing looked at the silent look of the shopkeeper, he then spoke once more, "Let's just tell you this, so far, this game machine is still made by the two of us, my partner and I, bit by bit, and the total number is not much, so the price will be more expensive."

"If you buy it in advance, you can make more money in advance, and when my machine starts mass production, you can definitely buy it at a cheaper price, but by that time, I guess more places will have the console, and more players will be attracted to different places."

Takeshi Yusei gently stroked the casing of the red and white machine.

"Do you want to earn away this money ahead of time when things are scarce? Or wait to make it slowly after mass production?"

"I'll buy it! Ten units, and I can give you the cash now."
