Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 1087 brief meeting

 Chapter 1087 Meeting

 The day after the Cyberpunk Edgewalker cartoon aired.

 Zhu Youxing came to the company on time in the morning to go to work. The first thing he did was to pour himself a cup of tea, and then he leisurely processed some documents in the office.

 Then he will play two recently popular games.

At ten o'clock, there will be a high-level meeting.

 The meeting will report some recent basic company information.

 Zhuyusing will not pay too much attention to the company's management. With Matsuhashi Minoru as his right-hand assistant, Zhuyusing is quite relieved.

 His main concern is the sales of the game, as well as the development progress of the recent games.

 “Well, this game is not bad.”

Zhu Youxing just played a somewhat **** jumping game.

  It should be regarded as an advanced version of Super Mario. It adds more variables to the jumping attribute, and also adds some gameplay similar to roguelike random attributes. If you play it seriously, you still need a little bit of skill.

 It is a bit like the low-end version of iwanna that I played in the previous life. The difficulty is not that exaggerated, but it is enough to make the player's blood pressure soar during the game.

Zhu Youxing found that this type of game seems to have begun to increase recently. It is obvious that many players' masochistic genes are slowly awakening, and they don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Hmm... It should be a good thing, so that I can develop high-difficulty Dark Souls.

 Zhu Youxing couldn't help but smile. This smile was very similar to that of a certain producer in his previous life.

 Didi, didi.

The alarm clock rang. Zhu Youxing turned around and saw that the meeting at ten o'clock was about to begin. Zhu Youxing closed the game interface and took the elevator to the conference room.

 When Zhu Youxing arrived, other senior executives of the company had also arrived, and Zhu Youcai also appeared.

 This was the first time she appeared in the company after giving birth to Takeyumu Aya. After seeing her, Airi Hayazawa stayed with Takeyu Aya for a while to inquire about her welfare, and the relationship between the two was quite close.

　Now the two of them are still sitting together and whispering.

As for Zhu Youmeng, Zhu Youxing’s mother and nanny are taking care of her now, so there is nothing to worry about.

 “Everyone came very early. Good morning, everyone.”

“Hello, president, the president’s wife is here today, but you don’t seem to know about them.”

 Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

Zhu Youxing shrugged and looked at Zhu Youcai: "I am going to become an irresponsible husband."

Zhu Youcai just rolled his eyes at Zhu Youxing, but there was still a smile on his lips.

“Okay, let’s officially start the meeting. Let’s briefly introduce the company’s status and basic development status.”

 The first one to speak was Matsuhashi Minoru. She was currently in the United States. Even though it was night, she still arrived in time.

 She was the most serious of all, and began to introduce the company's recent basic situation in a straightforward manner.

After about ten minutes of speaking, Matsuhashi made a summary: "Generally speaking, the company's overall operating situation is still quite good. Several long-term operating games have achieved good results. The construction progress of the amusement park project has not stalled. The government The support of Huaxia Dadi is also in place. The following theme park construction periods should also be completed earlier than expected. Here I have to talk about the infrastructure capabilities of Huaxia Dadi. Their steel structure construction efficiency is indeed quite high. Without their support , our amusement park project may not be completed ahead of schedule."

 In this world, China still retains its title as the infrastructure madman. Zhu Youxing sighed in his heart. At the same time, he also felt a little proud, but he could only be proud in his heart.

Minoru Matsuhashi continued: "The company's overall revenue and profits have been very stable. President, do you really not want to make further breakthroughs? Some game companies have recently been expanding micro-transactions and have developed many ways to make a lot of money. , we don’t lack the ability in this area and can explore it carefully.”

Zhu Youxing said casually: "Aren't we also doing this? Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball sells characters, and Candy Colorful sells props. Aren't we also very profitable?"

These two games bring in profits of several hundred million US dollars every year. This is almost the income that a game with sales of tens of millions can achieve. This is a pretty good result.

 “But we can go further…”

Zhu Youxing said: "It's not necessary. You can't make enough money. Our company's style now is to only make meaningful and high-quality games. Money... are we still short of it?"

 Everyone is smiling.

 There is indeed no shortage.

And the income from video games only accounts for a part of the current Youxing electronic entertainment industry.

 Amusement parks have begun to develop towards profitability.

 The strong brand influence of games is also beginning to come into play, and the peripheral products derived from each game are also selling like hotcakes.

 The most influential series of cultural IP works in the world so far.

Among them, Youxing Electronic Entertainment exclusively occupies five of the top ten spots. They are all big IPs that can bring in more than tens of billions of dollars in revenue, and there are several series among them that have not fully explored their potential.

Those companies that rely on micro-transactions to make money really don’t necessarily make more money than Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

If you give up style and forcefully make that kind of krypton gold game, you may lose the benefits from peripheral derivatives and word-of-mouth, which is not cost-effective.

"Okay, I understand." Matsuhashi Minoru didn't insist. What Takeyusei said did make sense, and she had no reason to refute.

“Okay, now that the introduction of the company is over, you guys will report on the game development progress, especially on several key projects. Yuki Kinuchida, you are from the first development department, so I’ll start with you.”

Kinuchida Yuki coughed lightly and said: "Ahem, President, we are still making steady progress in terms of game development progress. Several planned expansion packs and more character identities for Cyberpunk 2077 are being developed, and the progress is still there. Yes, don’t worry about this.”

Takeyusei nodded, and then he was about to look at others to ask. Takeyusei knew that Yuki Kinuchida had a good foundation in Cyberpunk 2077. Even without him, they could still make very good game works. There is no need to worry about this.

But it was clear that Kinuchida Yuki had not finished speaking. He looked a little excited: "President, there is something else. Did you look at the official backend data yesterday?"

“Official background data? What data? You mean Cyberpunk 2077?”

"That's right." Yuki Kinuchi nodded vigorously, "After two months of release, Cyberpunk 2077 should have been reduced to almost normal levels, but just yesterday, the number of people online at the same time increased sharply, and the sales volume of the game also increased. It suddenly reached a new level.”

Zhu Yuxing reacted immediately: "Is it because of the Cyberpunk Edgewalker cartoon?"

“It should be, president, you are really amazing. This promotional method of yours can actually revive a game that has been on sale for two months.”
