Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 517 421. This is all the credit of the president

"It's not good, it's not good, President."

As soon as Qing Zhiyuan entered the president's office in the morning, he heard the secretary Akane Ayase running over in a hurry.

Yes, now Ayase Akane is no longer a junior HR, but has become a transferred secretary to the chairman.

Hearing such unlucky words so early in the morning, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but frown severely.

"Ayase-san, as a secretary to the board of directors, do you have to stay calm? Otherwise, how can I entrust you with important things in the future?"

"Okay president."

Akane Ayase nodded and stood aside obediently.

Qing Zhiyuan pulled up his chair and sat down. There was already a cup of brewed coffee on the table.

He tried some temperatures and they were just right.

Although the little secretary may be fussy sometimes, she actually has a lot of work in hand and is very attentive.

He took a sip silently and asked, "What's wrong?"

Akane Ayase took out the schedule she had compiled, looked down at it and said, "Well, before you came this morning, we received a call from Time magazine in the United States.

Asked if we have time here and would like to make an appointment for an interview. "

"puff……"

Qing Zhiyuan almost spit out a sip of coffee.

"Huh? Time Magazine actually wants to interview me?"

This is really unexpected.

What does the publication Time say? In his previous life, Qing Zhiyuan didn't have a particularly good impression of it, mainly because the mouthpieces of the United States were like this.

Magazines always report negative news about Greater China in a targeted manner.

Later, after the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, the trend of Time Magazine changed. As a result, it carried out some objective reports on China. In particular, the idol librarian whom Qing Zhiyuan admired very much was also featured on the cover of Time Magazine and became an influential figure. One of the 100 greatest people in the world.

Only then did people have a slight change in their outlook.

Putting aside political stance, Time Magazine actually has quite a lot of influence, especially in the business field.

In the previous life, Alima and Baidu Hong... were actually featured in Time Magazine.

Being on the cover of Time Magazine does not mean that you are great, but at least it is a certification that means you have a certain degree of influence.

In other words, only if you have achieved good results in the corresponding field will Times invite you for an exclusive interview and then put you on the cover.

This is probably a small achievement that influential people must achieve.

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel a little more happy when he heard the little secretary's words.

It seems that after being sat on my daughter's face in the morning, something good did happen.

The whole person felt a lot more energetic.

Qing Zhiyuan crossed his legs, then sat up straight with his upper body, turned around to face Akane Ayase while holding the coffee cup, and struck a particularly stylish pose.

"Isn't this a good thing?"

He spoke calmly on the surface, lowered his head and blew away the foam floating on the coffee, and then took a sip.

As an influential figure in the game industry who is about to appear on the cover of Time, Internet tycoon Qing Zhiyuan said that he must be full of style.

and……

Has the time come too late?

Didn’t I deserve to be on the cover earlier?

Even though pokeni is not the first gaming company, it is still a leader in the Internet industry. P-net, a world-leading company, has registered more than 300 patents and leads the development of the global Internet industry.

Is it not worth my great achievements?

According to Qing Zhiyuan, Time Magazine should have approached him three years ago.

"Yeah, it's a good thing." Ayase Akane nodded and pouted. It wasn't that it was a bad thing, it was just to emphasize that the matter was important.

"Calm down, calm down." Qing Zhiyuan pressed his wrist and drank coffee silently.

In fact, being on the cover of Time is not a big deal. It is mainly about honor and achievement, and the sense of form is greater than the actual effect.

Qing Zhiyuan silently figured out that being on the cover of Time would be equivalent to acknowledging his influence. Then, from the side, Qing Zhiyuan could also use Time magazine to expand his and pokeni's influence.

Let more people know about him and pokeni, so as to better promote the group's future business.

Just like Arima, although it may not bring much actual value, at least his popularity has increased.

The biggest change brought about by the increase in popularity is that it is easy to speak.

"That's it," Akane Ayase continued to report, "If there are no problems, how about I make an appointment with Time Magazine for an exclusive interview next Saturday?"

"Okay, no problem." Qing Zhiyuan responded with a smile.

"In that case, I'll tell Asano-san and ask her to reserve time next Saturday."

"Eh?"

Qing Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding, "Why should Asano be retained for the exclusive interview?"

My Times Magazine, what happened to Guan Qano?

She's not the secretary to the board of directors, so there's no need for her.

Akane Ayase held the folder in her hand and looked at the president with a smile, "President, it's like this. Time Magazine wants to interview the creator of Pikachu, and then collect more materials and information related to Pikachu. .

Because they selected Pikachu as the second most influential person of the year during the selection. "

"Well……"

Hearing this news, Qing Zhiyuan almost lost a mouthful of blood...

I just felt a sense of depression in my chest.

Man, I haven't even been in Time magazine yet.

An animated character came on first instead.

What does this mean to me? !

"So Time only interviews Lisa Asano?"

"No," Nao Tsuda looked through her notes, "As well as the art director Taiji Sakata, they all want to interview people related to Pikachu's design, so the Pokémon team just needs a few core members."

"Well……"

Qing Zhiyuan choked on a sip of coffee in his throat, and when it slipped down his esophagus, his chest burned.

Oops, let me wipe it, I'll go...

It’s been a long time, I’ve been pretending here for so long, and you don’t want to interview me in the end?

You are so sentimental, Qing Zhiyuan.

"Okay," Qing Zhiyuan waved his hand, "Go ahead and make arrangements. Remember to dress Asano Lisa and Sakata better."

"Okay, president." Ayase Akane nodded, then walked out holding the notebook.

Qing Zhiyuan was left sitting alone in a chair in a daze.

To a certain extent, this interview of Times really helped. Although DC game consoles now have a lot of market, they still need to be promoted.

As this wave of Pokémon promotion continues, pokeni’s influence is further expanded.

As for whether Qing Zhiyuan himself is on the cover, it doesn't matter anymore.

…

After returning home in the evening, Qing Zhiyuan mentioned this matter to Tsuda Nao and became particularly angry.

"Do you think they are weird? If the boss of such a big company doesn't do an interview, I can say that he is also the leader of Neon in creating the Internet era. He should have been on the cover of Time a long time ago.

But they had to choose Pikachu!

So infuriating. "

It's not very harmful, it's very insulting.

Seeing the expression on his face, Tsuda Nao couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"Okay, you are already running for 4 people, why do you still care so much?"

She walked over and took Qing Zhiyuan's coat, then arranged it and put it on the hanger.

"Wouldn't it be nice for Pikachu to be on the cover of Time?" Nao Tsuda gave him a roll of the eyes, "Pikachu can help bring goods and make money, but your appearance on the cover of Time is actually just a false reputation."

"That's right..."

At this moment, Qing Zhiyuan suddenly remembered something.

Regarding the matter of bringing goods...

If the live broadcast industry can be developed in the future, would it be effective to let Pikachu sit in the live broadcast room to deliver goods?

Virtual idol or something.

However, if you want to achieve that step, you must first develop artificial intelligence to a certain level, and you must have a network to spread it. The live broadcast platform is the one with lower technical content.

Or...should we get Hatsune Miku out in a few years?

Neon is actually quite fanatical about Hatsune. Although she is a virtual idol, Hatsune Miku's popularity has always been very high.

Even far beyond the three-dimensional idols, they have become the wives in the hearts of countless otakus.

However, it seems a little too early to think about these now, and the prerequisites are not mature enough.

Qing Zhiyuan changed his shoes and collected his thoughts.

"Where are Muhe and Aiyue?" Qing Zhiyuan asked.

"Shh... they were tired from playing just now. The two little guys are fast asleep on the bed right now. Don't wake them up."

"oh."

Qing Zhiyuan lowered his voice subconsciously, and then walked in quietly.

He arrived in the room silently, and sure enough, the two little guys were lying on the bed, deeply asleep.

It's just that both of them are not at peace, they are erratic and their postures are very strange.

Among them, Aiyue placed a Hunyuan Bed.

Her brother's legs were twisted around her like a twist, which really made people laugh.

"So cute." Qing Zhiyuan sighed.

Tsuda Nao leaned on the door with her hands folded, looking at them with infinite love in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

Qing Zhiyuan sat on the bed, then kissed the two little guys on their foreheads, and then kissed them for a while.

Then he sat up and looked at Tsuda Nao.

"How about we create two animated characters for them, and let them appear on the cover of Time like Pikachu."

"Um?"

…

On Saturday, people from Time magazine arrived as scheduled.

The reporter is a tall beauty with dark brown curly hair and three-dimensional facial features, named Barrett Nora.

Also accompanying him were the director and cameraman and two or three staff members.

Lisa Asano was very nervous. This was her first interview with a magazine with global influence.

Although the main character is Pikachu, her image will most likely appear in the magazine.

After preparations were completed, Nora began to visit her.

First, I followed the process and asked about some topics related to Pokémon, especially Pikachu. I collected a lot of relevant information along the way. Taiji Sakata was also very cooperative. He had already done it when he received the notice from the president a week ago. Prepare.

So in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, several people spent about 2 hours of happy time.

Lisa Asano and Taiji Sakata were very happy, and the director of Time Magazine said that Pokeni was a very smart company and had prepared all the information directly, saving a lot of trouble.

"Well, Miss Lisa Asano, as the mother of Pokémon, what made you make the decision to create Pokémon?"

"Ah...this..." Lisa Asano was a little flattered and looked out the door.

The president was not outside, but she always had a subconscious desire to ask Qing Zhiyuan for help.

She thought for a while and then responded, "I really don't deserve the name Pokémon Mother. I just made it. In fact, the idea of ​​Pokémon came from the president. "

"Huh?" The reporter friend was suddenly stunned.

"You mean, although you are the producer, you didn't come up with Pokémon, but..."

She lowered her head and flipped through the information, "Mr. Qing Zhiyuan, right?"

"Well, that's right." Lisa Asano smiled as she recalled the day she came to pokeni for an interview...

The first time she met Qing Zhiyuan, it was to save the cat in the tree.

The corners of my mouth couldn't stop rising when I thought about it.

She always felt that fate was so magical that she met Qing Zhiyuan.

"Without the president, Pokémon would not be born, and there would be no Pikachu."

Lisa Asano smiled and said, "The real designer of Pikachu is actually the president himself."

She vividly described how she met Qing Zhiyuan at that time, how Qing Zhiyuan showed the original paintings of Pokémon and some of the first key characters, and how everyone reacted.

"This is all the credit of the president. He always has endless ideas. The president is the real genius and has strong creativity. We are just making what he imagined."

Huh?

Is that really the case?

There is such a magical story behind it.

It looks like I can write an interesting report.

…

Dinner with Hiroyuki Hattori in the evening, Qing Zhiyuan talked about the news that Pikachu will be on the cover of Time.

President Hattori looked shocked.

"Wow, that's amazing! I even thought about being on the cover of Time," Hiroyuki Hattori said, "I didn't expect that a game character would be on the cover."

It's incredible.

Qing Zhiyuan smiled bitterly, who said it wasn't the case?

Is it reasonable that Pikachu is more famous globally than me?

Um……

If you think about it carefully, it seems quite reasonable.

I can only say that it’s a good thing that Pokémon was created in the first place, otherwise where would it be pokeni’s turn now?

The global influence of Pikachu is recognized, and it is worthy of being the world's number one IP. Otherwise, without this weapon, Sega DC would not be able to sell so well.

"By the way, speaking of which, recently, I heard that the sales of Sega DC have exceeded 10 million?" Hiroyuki Hattori asked.

As one of the dealers, Hattori is actually more aware of the sales of game consoles.

The store ran out of stock within a short period of time. Dongrun has also been increasing the purchase of Sega DC during this period.

In addition, the corresponding game discs are selling quite well.

Many players have reported that the quality of the game console is high and the games are fun. Buying a game console for Pokémon is nothing new.

"Yeah." Qing Zhiyuan smiled, "Thanks to President Hattori's clothes, you helped sell a lot."

Hattori Hiroyuki was not modest at all, he laughed and said: "

Qingsang, you are right.

This time you have to thank me properly.

If it weren't for my help, would Sega DC still have such achievements? ! "

You really don’t know anything about the greatness of the Trash Can God.

If I hadn't thrown the game console in, do you think Sega DC would have achieved such good sales?

I'm afraid he died violently long ago.

"Yes, thank you, President Hattori." Qing Zhiyuan raised his glass.

…

The two of them ate and drank together, both of them were a little tipsy and their cheeks were red.

Hearing that Qing Zhiyuan wanted to design characters for the two children, Hattori Hiroyuki was completely surprised, "Huh? This idea is very good, but they should only use their names. The specific images are not human, right?"

To be honest, sometimes Hiroyuki Hattori envies Qing Zhiyuan.

This is the advantage of being a game company. You can implant some people around you. Hiroyuki Hattori is only a downstream sales channel. If you don't make content products, you won't have this advantage.

Otherwise, Hattori said that he also wanted to put his daughter's image into the game.

Not to mention whether this game will be a big seller in the future, but it is very memorable for the family.

When the two children grow up in the future, how heartwarming will it be to take out the game?

Hattori Hiroyuki was immersed in his imagination with a smile on his face.

"Well, I haven't figured out what it will look like yet." Qing Zhiyuan silently took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "But, it must be done. This is my father's wish.

You can use what you are good at to do meaningful things for your children.

It's actually quite interesting. "

"Yeah." Hattori Hiroyuki nodded in agreement.

This is just like a painter painting his children, expressing his love in his own unique way.

It's really romantic.

If you think about it carefully, Qing Zhiyuan is actually a romantic person at heart. He also produced "To the Moon" and "The Proposal Battle" for him and Nao Tsuda...

It’s really enviable.

Hattori Hiroyuki thought that if it were him, he would be willing to marry such a man.

Qing Zhiyuan didn't understand his thoughts, but he felt a little numb when he saw Hattori looking straight at him with strange eyes.

"By the way, President Hattori, about this new game."

Qing Zhiyuan's voice and Hattori Hiroyuki pulled him out of his thoughts.

"Oh, yes, what game is this time?" Hiroyuki Hattori asked.

"Galgame. It's called "My Future Girlfriend"" Qing Zhiyuan said and took out the gift box.

But compared to the last time, the current future girlfriend gift box is much smaller.

Last time I mainly brought game consoles inside.

"Ok, no problem."

…

Future Girlfriend is also a DC exclusive game, which is equivalent to pokeni constantly transferring the original basic game to DC.

The two of them had enough wine and food, and everything was discussed.

"Then I'll leave it to President Hattori."

"Don't worry, this game will definitely sell well."

After saying goodbye to Qing Zhiyuan, Hattori Hiroyuki got into the car going home.

The driver arrived at the usual place and stopped.

Hattori Hiroyuki opened the car door, got out, and then put the game disc into the trash can.

He clapped his hands devoutly and clasped his hands together and said;

"God of Trash Cans! Bless! I hope the game sells well!"

…
