Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 252 a gimmick

Chapter 252 A gimmick

 Here we go again, this guy is doing this kind of activity again. Why are the activities he organizes always so popular?

When TV Tokyo just announced that there would be a video game war between Japan and the United States in the future, Ueto Hayakawa received the news immediately.

　　Last time, Zhuyouxing relied on this to greatly increase the stickiness of players, which also indirectly allowed more people to become players.

However, these players are not from Surui Electronics, but only belong to Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

●There are many small speedrunning groups now both online and offline.

This kind of group does not require any cost investment, just like a simple interest group.

However, many cafes, entertainment halls and other places seem to have seized business opportunities.

 What do they usually lack most? Of course it’s the source of customers.

 Now the game player group is the largest source of customers.

If you can provide them with an opportunity to get together, then at least these people will order a cup of coffee each, or pay a sum of money to play games, right?

This amount of money is just a normal consumption level, but for a store, it is a huge gain.

Since the end of the challenge, entertainment halls, coffee shops and other places in some popular neighborhoods have successively held similar activities.

 Some will give the winners some coupons or some high-value rewards, and some will give some honors and the like.

 And these stores earn more money.

 The challenge suddenly became a hot topic on the streets.

 However, all this still has nothing to do with Surui Electronics.

 This is very uncomfortable.

 They gained nothing from it.

Although they later tried to hold several similar events, the quality of their games itself was not very good, and the installed base was not large. Naturally, the player base was also much smaller, and most of the people who were interested were not. It's just because of the high bonuses, not because I really like their games.

 When the challenge is over, they will still return to the embrace of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and the increase in sales will be very small.

Hayakawa Ueto was a little confused, why did the methods that could be successful on Yuxing Electronic Entertainment not work on their company?

In the end, he concluded that the reason is probably because of the first-mover advantage. Only the first one to eat the crab can earn the biggest dividends. Others who follow closely can only get a bowl of soup at most.

Now, Youxing Electronic Entertainment, which has been dormant for nearly two years, has once again launched a competition.

 And this time it just sounds full of gimmicks.

 The war between Japan and the United States.

This sounds like a duel between Japan and the United States. If you can win, it will be a national level glory.

  It can be said that Zhu Youxing is really good at controlling the topic.

At the same time, Deputy Director Kubo of TV Tokyo and several guys who looked like big shots were gathering in a Western restaurant.

They all wore suits customized by outstanding craftsmen. They obviously took this dinner very seriously, and it was not just a matter of having a meal with someone like Deputy Director Kubo.

 At this moment, a man walked in with a relaxed pace.

 “Sorry everyone, I kept you waiting for a long time. There was a traffic jam before.”

 The person who came in was none other than Zhu Youxing.

 He was smiling and kind, and never seemed to get angry.

 Given the current status of these people, they are definitely dissatisfied with the fact that a young person like Zhu Youxing is late.

 They were all representatives of some chaebol individuals, and only after Takeyusei's suggestion and Deputy Director Kubo's invitation did they come over to take a look at the situation.

Of course, there is another reason for them to come here, and that is because they are very interested in Zhu Youxing's suggestion.

If it weren't for this suggestion, they might not have ignored the invitation from a young man like Zhu Youxing.

 Even if he rises quickly through video games and becomes a new star in Japan, he may also join the ranks of the chaebol.

Zhu Youxing glanced around with a smile, then sat down, and then went straight to the topic.

“Thank you for accepting my invitation, so let’s cut the nonsense and talk about the topics we have already talked about before.”

Several middle-aged people glanced at the young Zhu Yuxing, and then one of them said: "Is it about the establishment of an e-sports team?"

"That's right." Zhu Youxing nodded, "This kind of team is like a baseball team and can form a club group."

Since Zhuyouxing wants to develop e-sports, it must attract some capital.

Of course, it is not to ask them to invest in their own companies, but to suggest that they each establish an e-sports club group. It is a more professional group with strict disciplines and regulations, just like a traditional team club. .

 At the same time, he also wanted to use the help of this group of people to prepare for certain things in the future.

“Bamboo Yu-san, to be honest, I really don’t see what potential this thing has. Until now, video games are just entertainment.”

Zhu Youxing immediately replied: "But we have successfully held similar events before, and the winners have very generous bonuses, so I think video games are sometimes not just entertainment, but can also be regarded as a kind of competition." .”

 “That challenge of yours? I have to say it’s really interesting, but I think that’s not enough.”

A middle-aged man leaned forward slightly, looked at Zhu Youxing and said: "And our money is not obtained casually, it is accumulated over many years. You can also see that the entire social market is in a sluggish state. Any of us As a result, people will become cautious about financial investments.”

"But..." the man suddenly changed the subject, "If it's for your father's sake, we are willing to spend a little money. After all, he has helped us make a lot of money."

Zhu Youxing immediately shook his head: "No, this has nothing to do with my father. It's just that I want to convince you that you are willing to join the e-sports project I planned."

The man's body quickly changed from leaning forward to leaning back. He leaned on the chair and said casually: "Then you have to think carefully about how to persuade us. If there is not a point that attracts us enough, we will not easily Promised."

Zhu Yuxing smiled: "The war between Japan and the United States, is this gimmick enough?"

 Everyone's bodies paused slightly.

  “Tell me in detail.”

“Through e-sports, let Japan defeat the United States, but as I said before, this is just a gimmick, but just relying on this gimmick will generate a lot of business opportunities, isn’t it?”
