Chapter 938: Chapter 241: Breaking Into North America (Business)

After a discussion with Masahiro Yamaguchi, Xu Lin smoothly acquired a factory located in the eastern suburb of Tokyo, covering an area of 150,000 square meters. This is to accommodate a server training cluster with 100,000 GPUs, hence the need for a vast space of 100,000 square meters.

The negotiation went smoothly, naturally.

However, Masahiro Yamaguchi only thought Xu Lin was here to invest in a factory.

After acquiring the factory.

Xu Lin didn’t linger in Tokyo.

After all, he doesn’t have the funds to operate for now; he’s just making arrangements in advance.

In the afternoon, Xu Lin boarded a plane to Hawaii again.

Mid-March, Xu Lin’s game is to enter the North American market.

After arriving in Hawaii, Xu Lin went straight to Moon Island by yacht.

Li Yongsheng’s work efficiency is impressive. After a month, all the power and network infrastructure that Xu Lin needed was completely set up.

As for that batch of servers, Xu Lin was here today to assemble them.

He asked Li Yongsheng to gather a group of people to help move the servers to the underground base.

Currently, there are still hundreds of workers on Moon Island busy with Xu Lin’s Moon Island construction, everything is proceeding in full swing.

For the next four days, Xu Lin was busy assembling and debugging the servers.

These tasks are not difficult for Xu Lin, they just take a lot of time.

The time moves to late March.

Xu Lin contacted Tilin.

"North America time, six o’clock tomorrow afternoon, the game will launch in North America."

Xu Lin’s message seemed quite abrupt, since he hasn’t sent any other messages for quite a long time recently.

"Scientist, long time no see."

"Hmm, long time no see."

"How’s the pricing going?"

"One hundred fifty bucks."

The game sells for 100 RMB domestically, which roughly converts to 14 US Dollars.

But Xu Lin can’t sell it so cheaply over here.

Previously, Xu Lin considered pricing it at 100 Dollars, but upon reflection, the average monthly wage for ordinary workers here is about between 2000 to 5000, which is numerically similar to domestic wages, but their currency is US Dollar.

Thus, Xu Lin ultimately settled on 150 Dollars.

The Americans’ spending power is not to be underestimated, being the world’s top consumer nation.

Furthermore, viral marketing, middlemen earning the price difference, shouldn’t be a problem, right?

As for the concern whether the Xianxia game would have no market here.

That won’t happen.

A monopoly game, without competitors, yet breaking boundaries, doesn’t need to worry about those extraneous issues.

If all goes well, it could initiate a wave of cultural invasion over here.

In the past, Western values were input into Huaxia through various Hollywood movies; it’s time for the opposite.

Tilin: "Okay, by the way, is there anything you need me to prepare?"

"No need for now, just sit back and earn money. Wait for my update tomorrow."

"Okay, love you, scientist!"

Time flies by.

Soon it was the next afternoon, nearing six o’clock.

Tilin got in touch with Xu Lin again.

"Scientist, is everything ready to go?"

"Hmm, everything’s ready."

At exactly six.

The game "Xian," except for its unchanged graphics, has all the language converted to English, officially entering the North American market.

However, currently, not many people know about it.

Therefore, Xu Lin needs to implement some technical methods.

Then, by six-ten, promotional material appeared on TikTok and YouTube about the game launching in North America.

Xu Lin targeted his push precisely, specifically delivering to those gamers and gaming influencers.

The audience amounted to around 300,000 people.

As long as some of these people purchase his game, then word-of-mouth would take over.

Xu Lin could have made an even more massive impact, but for now, being new here, it’s better to keep things low-key. Once more established, then he’ll be fearless.

"Scientist, how many people now?"

Eighth at night, Tilin’s message came through.

"About over thirty thousand."

"So quickly over thirty thousand?"

"It’s considered few. Can’t be too flagrant; just need to stealthily grow for now."

Over thirty thousand, converting in RMB, Xu Lin made over 30 million in just two hours.

But Xu Lin was unfazed, as without 50 billion in his pocket, he can’t venture into AI; so 30 million, this is just the beginning of beginnings.

Xu Lin: "Once discovered later, it’s on you to shoulder the brunt."

Tilin: "Don’t worry, leave it to me."

The North American agency for this game is Tilin Technology, a shell company registered by Tilin beforehand.

Later, if the government investigates, they’ll trace back to this company.

By then, it’s Tilin who would take the hit.

This sounds like Xu Lin is making Tilin bear the risk, like acting legally, while Xu Lin earns and Tilin takes the fall.

But it’s not like that; capitalists pursue profits, and if they can earn billions in a month, maybe tens of billions or even more, they will trample laws and ethics. In any case, Tilin is indeed making a killing.

At midnight, another four hours had passed, Xu Lin’s game had sold 130,000 copies in North America.

Even at 150 US Dollars a copy.

However, North America is a consumer country, they don’t habitually save money.

Dollars take up a small portion of wages, obviously bearable.

Of course, some complained, saying the game is only 100 RMB, around 14 US Dollars in Huaxia, yet in North America, the price has risen more than tenfold, this agent is heartless.

And naturally, there are many who go abroad for work, or for studies, quite a number indeed.

The news quickly travels back to the home country.
