Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 1151 Travel information

Chapter 1151 Travel Information

  There are less than two months left before the opening of the 2020 Olympic Games.

 The whole of Japan has entered a very festive atmosphere.

 The world has not experienced the impact of the epidemic.

However, this does not affect the Japanese’s pessimism about the Olympic Games.

The Prime Minister of Japan obviously wants to use this Olympics to boost people's confidence and let people once again see Japan's strength as a technological power.

 Just like Japan used the Olympic Games to boost national confidence.

 But this time is a little different from before.

 At the beginning, all citizens were positive and believed that life would be better in the future.

 But now, the citizens of this era have experienced the lost decades, and the bursting of the bubble caused Japan's economic recession.

 To make a person live a positive and positive life, he needs to be constantly stimulated and convinced that his life will be better in the future.

 It only takes one stimulus to make a person decadent.

It was in this era that the Japanese otakus and nerds emerged. They were no longer willing to work hard for a better life. They just wanted to immerse themselves in the existing comfortable life.

 Don’t get married, don’t have children, don’t buy a house, just lie down.

In such a general atmosphere, most of the people interviewed on the roadside were not optimistic about the Olympic Games, and felt that it was just a waste of national tax revenue by the Japanese government.

 The money can obviously be used for more meaningful things, and wasting it on the Olympics is the wrong decision.

But they also expressed their approval of another thing in the Olympic Games, and that is the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games.

 Most of the younger generation of citizens are looking forward to the opening and closing ceremonies.

 Because this is a rise in fashion and popular culture.

 In the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games, you can see industries such as animation and games.

 This is the only place where the young generation in Japan feel most confident.

 According to the voting results, 70% of the people have no idea of ​​watching the Olympic Games.

 But 80% of people expressed that they would at least watch the closing ceremony.

There are many more foreigners on the streets than before. This can at least be regarded as a positive effect of the Olympic Games, attracting more people to come for consumption and tourism.

 “Well, let me take a look at the itinerary plan.”

 An American is holding a map of Japan in his hand.

 There are also some itinerary plans he drew by hand on this map.

 “Okay, first stop, Tsushima Island.”

　　He drew a circle on a very conspicuous mark on the map, then carried his backpack and went straight to the airport, preparing to go to Tsushima Island.

 Tsushima Island was originally just a very inconspicuous place in Japan.

 A few years ago, probably no one except locals had heard of this place name, let alone foreigners.

 But the turning point came from a video game.

 The name of this game is called Tsushima.

 The story told is about the ancient Japanese fighting against the invasion of the Mongolian Jin people.

This story was performed very well in the game, and it even later became part of the Japanese national textbooks and was written about in a big book.

At the same time, this game has attracted many people to be curious about Tsushima Island, so there is an endless stream of visitors to this small place.

　　A place that was once empty suddenly became popular, and the local government was overjoyed.

They are worrying about how to make money in normal times, and now the opportunity to make money is right in front of them.

And the hero of all this is Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

In order to thank Youxing Electronic Entertainment, the local government also promised that all employees of Youxing Electronic Entertainment can receive free tickets when traveling to Tsushima.

If it were Zhu Youxing, the game producer himself, who arrived, he would also receive the highest level of reception from the people on the island.

Both food, clothing, housing and transportation are all borne by the government, without Zhuyouxing spending a penny.

 At the same time, the local government also gave Zhu Youxing the title of honorary village head.

It’s just that Takeyusei has never been to Tsushima Island even once, so he left it to his subordinates to collect materials for the game.

 That afternoon, the American successfully landed on Tsushima via helicopter.

 The most conspicuous place at Tsushima’s airport is the content related to the Tsushima game.

 Some of the plots in the game are fictional, but the local government is very keen to completely reproduce the fictional stories.

The fictional family building in the game was heavily constructed that year, and admission fees were also openly charged. In just the first year, all the construction money, including principal and interest, was transferred back.

 Later, the local government also built some antique hotel buildings so that people could stay and stay here.

At the same time, there are many check-in points that are exactly the same as the game scenes.

This American visited places one by one according to the guide on the Internet. In this day alone, he spent thousands of dollars.

 There is money for local check-in and photo taking, as well as money for car rental, tickets, hotel accommodation, etc.

 “Thank you for coming, sir, welcome to come again next time!”

The local people wear armor from ancient times and warmly welcome and send off every tourist who comes.

 Because of the Olympic Games, Tsushima’s passenger flow has also increased recently.

 Many people are players who already like video games. This time they came to Japan because of the Olympic Games, and naturally they did not want to miss a visit to the Holy Land.

This American spent a day and night on Tsushima Island, and also participated in a stage play opportunity, personally playing the protagonist in the game and performing a classic battle in the Tsushima game.

 This costs five hundred dollars, which is where the most money is spent.

 Then, he returned to the Japanese mainland with a full and satisfied load.

 “Well, let’s go to…this place.”

 He took the map and drew a circle on it again.

That was a filming location in Japan for Street Fighter.

 is a kendo gym located in Osaka.

This kendo gym was opened by the family of Airi Hayazawa, director of the Yusei Electronics Entertainment Engineering Development Department.

Airi Hayasawa's family was originally engaged in the kendo business. By the time of Airi Hayasawa's father's generation, there was only one kendo gym left in Tokyo, Japan that was still barely operating.

At that time, Airi Hayasawa's father hoped that Airi Hayasawa could find a man to marry into his wife's family so that he could inherit the kendo gym of Airi Hayasawa's family.

But I didn’t expect Airi Hayasawa to be too rebellious.

Moreover, despite being rebellious, they developed quite well later on. Instead, working at Youxing Electronic Entertainment led to the management of their family's kendo gym.

Later, the popularity of games such as Street Fighter began to revive the kendo teaching business. Hayasawa Airi's father took advantage of this time to re-operate and develop the kendo teaching business in multiple places.

 Osaka is now the largest kendo business run by Airi Hayasawa's family, and it is also the filming location for one of the backgrounds of Street Fighter.

"Hey!"

"ha!"

 “Very good! Raise the sword! Slash! Shout out! Very impressive!”

A man dressed in the attire of a kendo master put his hands behind his back with a straight face, looking down at the many middle-aged and young people who were seriously practicing kendo.

 They move in a uniform manner, which is very beautiful.

 These are usually the core students of the kendo gym and are also the cornerstone of the development of the kendo gym.

 In another training venue, there are people with different appearances, including Westerners, Asians, and African Americans.

They came here for only one reason, and that was to visit the Holy Land. They wanted to pay some money to experience the atmosphere of kendo and take photos.

The American decisively spent two thousand dollars here and asked two professional kendo trainers to practice kendo with him and take some handsome photos at the same time.

 In the end, the American was very satisfied. He gained new technical knowledge and took handsome photos.

 The operators of the kendo gym are also very satisfied.

 Such a fat sheep will not be slaughtered until it is slaughtered.

 In the past, it was difficult for them to imagine that a video game could have such an impact.

 People will be willingly ripped off because they like video games.

Two thousand dollars just to experience the kendo atmosphere and take photos at the Street Fighter filming location.

 The most profitable business here is not charging tuition fees for core students.

 Training those core students is just to increase their professionalism.

The most profitable business for kendo gyms in Osaka comes from these guys who visit holy places.

　　To take a picture that is exactly the same as a Street Fighter battle scene, the starting price is two thousand dollars, and there is no cap.

If you want to recreate the battle scene of Street Fighter one to one, then you need at least one extra, right? Do you still need a professional training partner? Do you still need a professional photographer?

Then the price of such a service would be around five thousand dollars.

 Even with such an exaggerated price, there are still people who are willing to take photos.

 It can only be said that these people really have money to burn and are very wealthy.

Finally, the American couldn't help but spend another five thousand dollars to shoot a Street Fighter-style battle video that lasted about five minutes.

After the video shooting, the American took off his kendo training uniform, and the kendo gym solemnly issued the highest-standard kendo training certificate to the American, as well as the autograph of the master of the Osaka Kendo Training Gym.

 The total cost of all this was not more than a hundred dollars.

In the end, the American was also given a set of kendo training clothes that seemed to be of pretty good quality.

 In fact, the total cost of this training suit is only twenty or thirty US dollars.

 But this American is very willing to pay for it.

“Okay, next is the old site of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.”

 A single-family low-rise office building in the suburbs of Tokyo, USA.

 This place is where Youxing Electronic Entertainment once made its fortune.

 A series of classic games such as the Famicom and Super Mario were born here.

Now it has become one of the protected buildings and is also the office location of the Crowdfunding Game Zone and the Game Industry Committee.

When the American came here, he found that there were hundreds of people taking pictures one by one.

 Some people will take photos with some classic Youxing Electronic Entertainment physical games.

This is the place where Americans spend the least money, because there is no admission fee to take pictures here.

Of course, if you want a more professional photo effect, you can only hire a professional videographer who is waiting eagerly with a professional camera to be hired.

 Such a photographer is very popular right now. For ten dollars a photo, he can take hundreds of photos a day. The money is really good.

If he could feel this good every day, he felt that he should be able to return to the days when Japan was still very prosperous.

At the same time, he also thanked Youxing Electronic Entertainment in his heart.

 Without Youxing Electronic Entertainment, he would not have such a good job.

 You can make money just by taking pictures of others. Is there any better job than this?

The American spent one hundred dollars to have a professional photographer take a good photo of him. The photographer promised to have it completed within a week, framed, and sent to the American's home. Of course, the postage would have to be paid by the American himself. Or Americans can give an address in Japan and have it sent after a week.

The American left his hotel address in Tokyo and left with satisfaction.

 Then there is the current headquarters of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

It’s also a very popular place.

By the time he got there, Youxing Building had been completely surrounded. It even required local law enforcement to help maintain order in Yousing Building, at least to ensure that company employees could go to and from get off work normally.

Occasionally, someone is lucky enough to meet a well-known producer, and these producers are now enjoying star-like treatment.

This American regrets that he did not have the opportunity to take photos with those producers because he came a little late. He can only see if there is a chance to come here again in the past few days and see if he can meet some well-known producers, or even Bamboo Yusei himself.

 If he could come across it, he would thank God.

 Here he simply took a photo and checked in, then left.

 Next, he has one last stop.

 The last stop in Japan besides watching the Olympic Games.

 That’s the Youxing Paradise.

This is the paradise that all gamers want to go to.

 He has traveled thousands of miles to come here, so he must not be missed.

  However, in the past half month, Amusement Park has adopted a reservation system.

  If you don’t make a reservation, you won’t even be able to enter the Amusement Park.

There are just so many people, there is nothing we can do.

 Youxing Park is very large, but there is an upper limit on the number of tourists it can accommodate. The maximum number of tourists it can accommodate at the same time is 200,000.

During the Olympic Games, the number of customers received at the same time every day was always 200,000, and you couldn't get in without a reservation.

But you can also find some hidden channels to get tickets.

This American did not hesitate to spend twice the price of the ticket to buy tickets from others.

 When you come to Japan, if you don’t go to Yuxing Amusement Park, your visit will be in vain.

He even thought that even if he didn’t go to the Olympics, he would still come to Star Park to experience it.

 Youxing Park now has seven amusement parks.

 Each venue has its own style.

 Mario Theme Park, Pokémon Master Gym, Final Fantasy Theme Park, Comprehensive Entertainment Game Park…

 If you want to visit every park, three or five days will definitely not be enough.

 Park cost: US$10,000 for a five-day pass.

This is just the price of the ticket.

This includes ticket money and fast-track money. He doesn't want to wait. He just wants to play a lot of interesting things as soon as possible.
