Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Located in one of the busiest streets in Chiyoda District, Tokyo, there are all kinds of fashionable products that are most popular at the moment.

The latest electrical appliances, the hottest electronic products, and a variety of innovative maid cafes, entertainment halls, etc. are located on this street.

This is also Akihabara, which is later called the Holy Land of Otaku.

Today, a store with a good location is undergoing renovation. From the outside, it seems to be a restaurant, which is quite common on this street, but what makes people concerned is that the signboard of the restaurant is a A giant yellow lightning mouse figure.

This image is already very familiar among girls.

Many of the Tamagotchi in their hands are raising this yellow-skinned mouse.

Because of its cute image, it is very popular with girls.

And every girl passing by will stop for a while, curiously discussing what this shop is for.

"Uncle, is there going to be a restaurant here?"

Finally, a young girl plucked up the courage to go over and ask.

The worker leader, who was rushing to work, turned his head, smiled and said, "That's right, it's a game-related restaurant. We're rushing to renovate it. Maybe you'll be able to see the whole store in five or six days."

After speaking, the team leader casually took out a creased promotional paper from his briefcase and handed it to the girl.

"Look at this, you should understand what's going on after reading this."

Game related?

The girl took the promotional paper, and thanked politely, and then several friends who were traveling together came over and looked at the paper curiously.

On the promotional paper, it is a big Pikachu.

The Pokémon Restaurant is about to open grandly. Welcome everyone.

It turned out that it was really a restaurant, and it was a restaurant related to these small animals, which immediately made these girls chatter about.

"What does this Pokémon mean? What does it have to do with Pikachu?"

"I heard my male middle school classmates say that Pokémon seemed like a video game they were playing."

"Huh? Boys are also interested in small animals like Pikachu? Are they also playing Tamagotchi?"

"No, it seems to be different, but in short, we can wait a few days for the opening to come and see, what do you think?"

"Okay, oh, look, this dish looks delicious."

A girl pointed to a yellow cake dessert on the front poster, which looked very attractive.

At this time, the girl turned over the poster again, and on the back were printed a variety of Pokemon-related desserts, drinks, etc., which were colorful and looked very good-looking. Many girls already had stars in their eyes.

In particular, they note that the average prices of these desserts and drinks are quite low.

A cup of yellow juice drink called Lightning Pickup only costs 300 yen per cup.

A small yellow glitter cake only costs 500 yen, which can be said to be quite cheap in a high-consumption environment like Japan.

"Wow, what a cheap price, it seems we must come!"

"Hey wait, read the instructions below."

At this time, a girl noticed that there was a small piece of inconspicuous explanatory text below it.

"All the above prices require customers to hold a GB game console and a Pokémon cartridge to enjoy the discount. Each customer who enjoys the discount can bring a companion to enjoy the discount together."

"Huh? If you want to enjoy this preferential price, you still need to buy that GB, but it's only for boys."

"That... I actually have GB, and I also have Pokémon games."

At this time, a girl in the middle of the girls raised her hand.

"Huh? Do you have GB? Why do you have GB? Isn't that something boys only play?"

The girl who raised her hand was puzzled: "Why do you say that? I think it's very funny."

"Forget it, my dear, how about we meet to eat and drink together in five days?"

A group of girls immediately turned into a flattering look, flattering the girl with GB, and soon they ran and danced laughingly, and quickly disappeared at the end of the street.

"Hey, it's nice to be young." The worker leader sighed, and then continued to monitor the progress of the decoration.

In addition to a Pokémon restaurant that is about to open here in Akihabara, similar restaurants have also been opened in two other areas of Tokyo where there are more young people.

The publicity of the restaurant is almost the same. As long as you have a GB game console and a Pokémon cassette, you can enjoy preferential consumption, and you can also bring one person.

And in the promotional poster, it is also written in detail that there will occasionally be some activities about Pokémon in the restaurant. If they are completed, they will also get some extra rewards.

This kind of reward promotion for players quickly had a good effect.

After selling more than 200,000 in the first week, the sales in the second week immediately dropped to less than 50,000, but in the third week, it quickly returned to the sales figure of 100,000 weeks.

After all, as long as you buy a Pokémon game, you can eat cheap food in designated restaurants. Not many people will refuse this temptation.

In addition to this, there is also a prize collection event about Pokémon.

If you catch a certain Pokémon within a limited time, you can go to the designated place to receive an exclusive gift.

Finally, there is a super prize.

A gift from dreams.

As long as the dream is captured within a limited time, the game player can get a free game reward from the first party of Youxing Electronic Entertainment for a year, and it will be mailed to the winning player at the first time every month.

And the effect of this publicity seems to be somewhat immediate.

Players who were not initially interested in Pokémon also gritted their teeth and bought a Pokémon game.

Even if you can't catch the best dream, you can get prizes if you catch other designated Pokémon.

Compared with spending too much money on advertisers, this kind of publicity that directly rewards players seems to be more effective.

Recently, Oda Oda found that friends who have GB around him have started to play Pokémon.

Obviously, they were not interested in it before.

And this kind of game actually requires a little patience. Pokémon games have never been very attractive from the beginning.

But when the short boring period passes, the fun is slowly revealed.

"Tian Chongjiang, do you have any miniature dragons? I'll exchange them with you!"

"No! I still want to exchange it for gifts!"

"Oh, Tian Chong-chan, you are the best! A girl I like really wants a miniature dragon doll, but this is not for sale. Only miniature dragon Pokémon can be exchanged for gifts. Please! Help me Me this time! I will exchange ten Pokémon with you!"

Tian Chong looked disgusted: "Last time you said that you would exchange ten Pokémon with me for the Hoeb that I worked so hard to cultivate, and then you would give me ten? Ten rubbish, I won't trade it with you again!"
