The newest product created by KingKar is taking away Chinese enthusiasm of Pokemon Go
2016-07-19
Pokemon Go, a mobile game that
allows players to capture imaginary characters in real-life locations, has
become a massive hit in China - even before it is officially released in the
country.
The augmented reality game, which is
available in Australia, New Zealand and the United States, went temporarily
live for some hours in China on July 11 and has since gone crazy with lucky
hunters posting on their social networks all kinds of cute-looking Pokemons
they find and capture in their bedrooms and in offices.
The wildly popular game has added $7.5
billion to the market value of its developer, Nintendo Co Ltd, since it debuted
on July 6. But there is no official information about the game's international
rollout, creating opportunities for those who want to make some quick bucks on
the Pokemon fever in China.
On China's most popular online marketplace
Taobao of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd, about 100 retailers have set up businesses
to provide US- or Australian- or New Zealand-based Apple store accounts to help
Chinese players download the game.
The fee for using such an account is
between 0.3 yuan and 20 yuan ($3; 2.69 euros) and the best-selling store on
Taobao has sold to more than 7,000 buyers.
However, the newest product created by
KingKar is catching Chinese or even the world’ s eyes at a more quickly speed.
“I get addicted to Pokemon until I meet
this machine!” says Mike coming from North America, who used HHO Carbon Clean
Machine last month, “I indulge in cleaning my auto machine, it make my car
faster than faster. But what attracted me in most was its way of making money.
I am sure it is a path to weath.”
