Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 196 MiDi employees
Chapter 196: Mysterious Employees
It was noon in the United States time zone when the three of them got off the McCarran Airport in Las Vegas.
Matsuhashi Minoru, who has been in the United States for almost three months, waited early to pick up the three of them at the exit.
The next itinerary plan is to arrange accommodation, and then a few people will have a jet lag of one or two days, and then officially get into work.
In addition to Airi Hayasawa wanting to follow him out of curiosity, Takeyusei also planned to arrange for her to play the role of commentator during the exhibition.
The current three game consoles and Tamagotchi in the company are all handled by Airi Hayasawa.
She is more aware of some technical details than Zhu Youxing.
But she can wait until the exhibition is about to start before she can prepare it.
As for Takeyusei himself, he followed Minoru Matsuhashi to his temporary office in the United States.
The office is located in Silicon Valley in San Francisco. It takes about nine hours to get to San Francisco from Las Vegas. After arriving here, more than a dozen employees have been waiting for a while.
The office still looks a bit messy. Various promotional materials, as well as some game console packaging boxes and game console bodies are piled up in a messy manner. Obviously, due to being busy for a long time, there is no chance to take care of them.
Except for a few helpers brought over by Minoru Matsuhashi from Japan, the remaining employees were directly recruited from the United States.
These people are generally young, in their twenties, and can be considered a group of people who come to Silicon Valley to pursue their dreams.
“Everyone, let me introduce to you, this is the chairman of our gamestar, Mr. Zhu Youxing.”
“Wow, are you the chairman who started the video game industry?”
“I saw a living person! Chairman, can I take a photo with you?”
In front of Zhu Youxing, a group of young people were very excited.
Now they are all serious video game players.
At first, they just wanted to interview a random company to get some experience points, and then they considered starting their own business or going to a big company.
But after entering the company, they were faced with a lot of games. After playing these games, they had to help with some promotional copywriting.
These guys then got out of hand.
How could there be such a happy thing in the world?
And happiness is endless.
In Japan, the frequency of receiving video games is three or four a month, of which one or two may be my favorite.
But for these Americans, they can welcome hundreds of games from the beginning.
They were having a great time playing, as if they were immersed in a sea of happiness.
Apart from going to work every day, the only things left are video games.
Then, this group of employees began to have a sincere admiration for the people who created these games.
This is what they really deserve to learn from.
One person started an industry, and it developed so rapidly.
It’s not a bad idea to work in a company like this.
At least now these employees have no intention of changing jobs or resigning to start a business.
Let's work well in this company for a few years first.
Then today, they saw the God of Games whom they had always admired, and the feeling of happiness and happiness could not be concealed.
“I’m sorry, President, employees here in the United States are generally very open-minded, which is different from Japan. I hope you don’t mind.” Matsuhashi was still a little worried that Takeyusei wouldn’t be able to adapt, so he helped to explain.
The abilities of these employees are still acceptable, and at least they can complete the tasks assigned to them seriously.
However, they will only complete the set tasks and never take the initiative to do anything. After finishing the work, they will play games immediately. At first, Matsuhashi was not used to it, but gradually he got used to it, and the overall atmosphere of the company also improved. It became much easier.
Originally, the management model of Zhuyouxing was relatively loose when I was in Japan, so I can adapt to it faster when I come to the United States.
Zhu Youxing waved his hands indifferently and said, "These are all small things. Do you all like the games I make?"
Several employees nodded quickly: "That's right! My favorites are Super Mario 1 and 3. Speaking of which, Chairman, why isn't there 2?"
“Yes, yes, Contra is the same, Dragon Quest is the same, and I heard that the new Final Fantasy work will not have a second one.”
“Well... don’t worry about these details, you just need to know that I won’t do a second part.”
“I understand, this is the special habit of a genius who creates an industry, right? For example, the Hongguo Company that makes personal computers, I heard that their CEO has obsessive-compulsive disorder and likes to wear turtlenecks and jeans.”
“Yes, yes, I also remembered the CEO of a social network that has been a bit popular recently. I heard that he has an alien face, which is very scary. It seems that geniuses always have something different from ordinary people.”
Zhu Youxing had a strange expression.
Has the Facebook of this world become popular?
But it makes sense to think about it. The technological level of this world is about ten years higher than that of my previous life. If you compare it, Facebook should be very popular in major universities in the United States recently.
And the one who likes to wear turtleneck sweaters, I’m afraid he’s not Gang Leader Qiao in this world?
But his name is probably not that.
Being able to put yourself on the same line as these people, these young people obviously have a high level of worship for themselves.
This group of employees had a lively discussion, and the entire company atmosphere was very good. Zhu Youxing actually liked this atmosphere very much.
The Japanese workplace is really repressive. The concept of superiors and subordinates is very strict and cannot be let go at all.
Coming from the 21st century, he has never really liked the Japanese workplace atmosphere.
Then, Takeyusei took a photo with these employees, and then signed a few random signatures, then followed Minoru Matsuhashi to check on the company's current progress in the United States.
In the past, communication through the phone and the Internet was indeed convenient, but it was far less intuitive than seeing it in person.
Various data are presented in front of Zhu Youxing at this moment.
There are details of cooperation with some advertisers, as well as details of deals with small and medium-sized retailers.
Overall, it is not as bad as described on the phone.
It’s just that it was rejected by some of the leading retailers and leading advertisers in the United States.
It doesn’t matter, these people will regret it sooner or later, it’s not a problem at all.
Then, Zhuyouxing took another look at the expenditures for publicity and promotion.
Juyusei has already given many constructive suggestions to Matsuhashi Minoru before.
Move the publicity model that has been relatively successful in Japan to this area, including some special activities that are open to purchase, or challenge and prize-winning activities, etc.
Distribute more money invested in advertisers to players, so that players can feel more substantial gains. This is actually more effective than simply spending money on advertisers, but the scope of influence will be smaller at the beginning.
