Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 43 black history
Chapter 43 Dark History
Early spring is coming to an end, and the time for cherry blossom viewing is not far away.
There are only the last three days left for the official release of the game console.
In the last three days, the entertainment hall in Daejeon was also temporarily closed and no longer open to the public.
But this cannot stop people who want to play games. There are often people stopping at the door, stretching their necks and looking into the store, with longing in their eyes.
They all want to play games now.
Especially the sudden appearance of several other game trials in the past two days, which made them even more worried.
“Hey, why aren’t you open today? My bomber hasn’t cleared the level yet!”
“That’s right, Contra is so difficult, it should always be on for us to play. Why did you close the door? Don’t you want to make money?”
“I’m just a quiet, handsome man. I just want to play a game of Tetris quietly, hoping to open the door.”
In front of the store, a clerk kept bowing to people.
"Simi Marseille, I'm very sorry. We are currently preparing for the final release of the game console. We will be very busy next time. However, we only need to wait for three days before the game console will be officially released. At that time, guests can directly purchase the game console. I bought it and took it home to experience it.”
Adults and children, they are all standing at the door.
Originally, this was supposed to be just a game for children.
In the beginning it was true.
Super Mario is fun, but not something that will particularly interest all adults.
However, within a month, other trial games have been released, each type is different, there will always be one that you like, both adults and children, and this is gradually changing their opinions.
Adults also have entertainment needs, and games are not just for children.
At this time, children still account for the majority, but adults have also gained a certain foundation, and they all seem to be serious gamers.
Now they feel uncomfortable if they don’t play games for a day.
However, when they heard that the game console would be officially released in three days and they could take it home to play, their dissatisfaction subsided a lot.
It’s only three days, just wait.
Some people were preparing to go home one after another, and they planned to come back when the official release day came.
However, some people rolled their eyes. Although they left quickly, they turned back again within half a day.
This time they carried their luggage and a simple tent and set it up directly at the door of the store, then got in and settled in here.
The clerk at the door was dumbfounded.
Hold on, there are still three days until the release. Do you plan to wait for three days?
What surprised the clerk even more was that there was more than one person doing this kind of thing.
One day and one night passed, and when the next morning came, at least twenty tents had been lined up at the door, causing passersby to look here frequently, wondering what was going on.
Some people are willing to do anything for the things they love.
The tent at the front entrance was bustling with activity, and behind the store, trucks were entering the backyard one after another.
Employees were busy unloading the goods and then moving the game consoles into the entertainment hall.
Most of the entertainment facilities in the entertainment hall at this time have been moved to the warehouse in advance, because Da Tian felt that it took up some space, and if the game console was officially released, things other than these products would somewhat affect the vision.
Zhu Youxing also came here specially today, wanting to see with his own eyes how the preparations are going.
At present, there is only one channel for selling game consoles.
In the future, Daejeon Entertainment Hall is expected to become the most important sales venue, which has a very special significance.
Airi Hayasawa originally wanted to come over, but she suddenly had an inspiration in the morning and seemed to have thought of some optimization method for game consoles, so she went to work again, so Takeyusei had to come over alone.
He stood at the unloading site and watched the workers busy moving the game consoles.
大田 came over at this time and subconsciously handed Zhu Yuxing a cigarette.
“I don’t smoke, thank you.”
“Take a puff and relieve the tension.”
Zhu Yuxing turned his head and glanced at Da Tianzheng, and he saw that the other person's hands were shaking a little.
Who is nervous?
Zhu Youxing just smiled and shook his head again: "I'm fine, but you look a little nervous?"
“I...me? More or less.”
Ota Masa is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves.
But sometimes some things just make people nervous easily.
Especially when entering a new industry, the performance will be more obvious.
So in order to relieve the tension, he had to take a few puffs.
Even if he has quit smoking for two or three years.
At this time, I had to pick it up again.
This pack of cigarettes is from the delivery boss.
You have to take care of it before going home at night, otherwise your wife will smell it and get angry again.
Da Tian was taking a deep breath, and then blew out a long stream of thick smoke in the direction of no one. The tension in his heart seemed to gradually subside as the smoke blew out of his nose.
“Zhuyou, do you think this thing will be easy to sell?”
Zhu Youxing said: "Didn't you also see that your place is full every day during this period, and there is an endless stream of people playing games. I think you don't need to worry too much about this kind of thing, right?"
"I know it's really popular, but that's only a few hundred or a few thousand people. After all, my store is so big, and there's an upper limit on the number of people it can accommodate. But now we have a full 120,000 game consoles .”
“You’re worried that you won’t be able to sell them all, right?”
"Um."
Yesterday, 120,000 game consoles were officially delivered, and then they were all shipped here one after another.
Tasamasa no longer has much doubt about the quality of the game and the fun of the game console itself.
Just from the excitement of the guests, you can feel that they really like it.
They will definitely buy the game as soon as possible.
But besides these enthusiastic customers, who else will buy?
The enthusiastic guests would probably be overwhelmed by only one or two hundred at most.
Including those who are interested and have spare money, it is estimated to be thousands.
Whether all the 120,000 yuan can be sold is really unknown.
In fact, even Zhu Youxing himself is not completely sure.
So he set a goal for himself.
Sell within one month, or accept it within half a year.
If he can sell all 120,000 units within half a year, it means that his plan is successful and he can expand the scale next.
But if it takes more than half a year to sell these 120,000 units, it means that perhaps this form of entertainment is not as popular as imagined.
He has to think of other ways to make the world welcome games.
Advertising is the most effective way of publicity, but for a brand-new product that is completely unknown, and its category is even the latest, it is really a mystery whether it can attract the interest of most people.
Da Tianzheng also seemed to feel that what he said was a bit heavy, so he showed a smile and said: "Forget it, Takeyu, let's not think about this. Anyway, we have done what we should do. Let's find a place tonight." Let’s have a drink, we haven’t had a meal in such a long time.”
“Also good.”
Zhu Youxing felt that he needed some relief at this time, but he was not too nervous.
If he fails, he will have to try again in another direction. Anyway, he has plenty of opportunities.
But the frustration of failure can still be uncomfortable.
It is indeed a good suggestion to have a couple of drinks before this.
“After drinking, let’s go sing some more, and then I’ll take you to a man’s favorite place to have a good time, and then just let nature take its course.”
Zhu Youxing's expression froze.
“Well, that’s not necessary.”
“I didn’t expect you to be quite serious, Zhuyou.”
It’s not something serious or serious.
With his identity in Zhu Youxing's world, he doesn't have to worry about such things at all. There is no need to waste time here, and besides, he is simply not interested.
Perhaps the oppression of 996 in his previous life made him lose interest in many things.
He didn’t even want to participate in the singing.
Zhu Youxing himself first stated that he was definitely not out of tune.
It’s just that I don’t like the noisy singing atmosphere.
“It’s enough to have a little drink, and then gather your energy to face the most critical moment next.”
“Okay.” Zhu Youxing refused, and he no longer insisted.
The transportation of goods was not completed until after nine o'clock in the evening. Takeyusei, Ohta Masaru, and several clerks went to the nearest sake shop, which was a shop with a bit of a petty bourgeois atmosphere.
After ordering some dishes, a few people started clinking glasses and wishing the game console a great sale.
It wasn’t until after eleven o’clock that Zhu Youxing was driven back home with a slightly red face.
Hayazawa Airi has been waiting at the door.
Because she was wondering why Zhu Youxing never came back.
Normally, Zhu Youxing is not a person who likes to come home late. He prefers to go home and play games immediately after finishing his work. Today is a special case.
“I’m sorry, Miss Zhuyou, Zhuyou-san will leave it to you. I didn’t expect that his drinking capacity is not particularly good. If I had known better, I wouldn’t have given him that glass of strong wine.”
Ota is awkwardly supporting Takeyusei.
But Zhu Youxing was still conscious, but his body was not quite under control.
"I...I'm not Miss Zhuyou, I'm his employee, don't care about that."
Da Tian was helping Zhu Yuxing into his bedroom, and at the same time he took a look at Zhu Yuxing's home.
This is not a house that ordinary families can own. It seems that Zhu Youxing has a good background.
After Airi Hayazawa saw off Ohta Masaru, he hurriedly brought hot towels, some hot water and other things to Takeyusei's bedroom.
“I’m sorry, Airi, don’t worry about me, I’m just a little dizzy, so I don’t need to bother you.”
Eri Hayasawa shook her head: "It doesn't matter. When my father was drunk, my mother and I would often take care of each other. I'm used to it. But for you, this is the first time I've seen you drunk."
Click, Airi Hayasawa secretly took out her phone and took a picture of Takeyusei's face.
Hey, from now on it can be regarded as Zhuyu-san’s dark history!
Let him see how embarrassed he is after a few years.
