Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

The next day, Hayazawa Airi woke up in a daze.

When she walked out of the bedroom, she saw Zhu Youxing once again sitting on the chair in the living room operating the computer, as if he was doing some work.

"Boss, yawn, when did you get up?"

"Me? A little earlier than you."

Zhu Youxing answered in a nonchalant manner.

In fact he didn't sleep all night.

But the energy is surprisingly good, and there are no major problems.

That being the case, Zhu Youxing didn't want to give up this good opportunity, so he started writing the prototype of the next game at night.

As for what the next game will be, Zhu Youxing has already made plans in his heart.

There are about 40 or 50 types of the most classic games in the red and white machine. Apart from these classic games, in fact, the sales of games other than this can only be said to be average.

Of course, any game that sold more than 100,000 copies on the red and white machines basically made money.

However, since Zhuyouxing planned to squeeze out the value of the entire red and white machine from the very beginning, those whose sales volume is less than one million will not be considered for the time being. This kind of.

And the second game Zhu Youxing intends to make is Dragon Quest.

Thanks to his rich experience in playing Xiaobawang with his father when he was young, he has almost played all the most classic games of the red and white machine.

This made him remember many classic games of the red and white machine no matter how many years have passed.

Dragon Quest is one of them.

In his memory, Dragon Quest is also a super-popular IP that is popular all over Japan.

In the world of his previous life, it once became a phenomenal game.

The first generation of Dragon Quest made players really realize that the game can still be played like this, that they can really play a brave man to fight evil demons.

Then it became popular all over Japan in the second generation.

And then the third generation of Dragon Quest, on the day of its release, directly reached the level of crowds, and became an indelible memory in Japanese history.

Now, Zhu Youxing plans to make Dragon Quest 1 first, as an appetizer.

Super Mario starts, Dragon Quest sells extra, and then writes a few relatively simple games by the way, and can also be supplemented by games that are sold at a cheaper price.

If a game console only has one or two first-time games before its official release, it would be too shabby.

Hayazawa Airi rattled down the stairs, and curiously leaned behind Takeyuhoshi to look at the content in front of Takeyuhoshi's computer.

Writing a program is really not beautiful until it is completely completed, and laymen may even feel confused for a while.

So Hayazawa Airi just gave up after a few glances, went to wash up, and then started the day's work.

"Takeyou-san, what are we doing today? Are we continuing to recruit employees?"

"Today, you continue to be a small supervisor, and I will be in charge of recruiting employees." Zhu Youxing said while saving the computer data and shutting it down.

The production of Dragon Quest is now halfway through.

Thanks to the production direction already in his mind, the speed of the overall production does not take too long. He even handles the dubbing by himself. Anyway, it is all electronically synthesized sounds plus some simple rhythm composing. good.

People in this era don't have a particularly intuitive concept of the music of video games, so the requirements are not too strict, and he can barely handle the music problem based on his memory.

It's just that I'm really not very good at painting, so I can only find a professional to handle it when the time comes.

Akira Toriyama was the royal painter of Dragon Quest in the previous life. Even in the past two decades, nothing has changed, and the painting style of Dragon Quest has become its iconic element.

However, with the little money Zhu Youxing currently has on hand, it seems that it will not be too easy to find such a well-known painter for the queen.

hey wait...

Zhu Youxing suddenly remembered something.

It seems that I... can really find such a royal painter.

Half an hour later, the two set off for the office building again.

After a day of recruitment work yesterday, the number of employees responsible for the assembly of game consoles at the initial stage has reached about 20 people.

His plan was to start with fifty or so employees.

If the speed is fast enough, one employee can assemble more than 20 units a day, so fifty people can assemble nearly 1,000 units a day.

That's 30,000 a month.

However, Zhu Youxing couldn't be satisfied with this at all.

He had to find a way to expand the production line process even more, either by finding a real assembly plant or building one himself.

However, it is not a big problem to deal with the early stage.

Today's recruitment and decoration work went smoothly. In the whole day, Zhuyouxing recruited more than 20 employees responsible for assembly, and the progress of decoration is basically completed. The rest is to do it again tomorrow. Acceptance, you can basically get everything done.

At the same time, Hirohito Chida also sent a message telling him that the price of 650 yen can be finalized, and Zhuyouxing only needs to pay a 5% deposit in the early stage.

Originally, according to the company's rules, at least 10% must be paid first.

However, after some lobbying by Hirohito Chida, the company's boss finally agreed to a 5% deposit.

Because this is a very rare order, if you don't show enough sincerity, Zhuyouxing may find a new company at any time.

After confirming the deposit, the factory immediately started the production process, and all the processes were simplified, because Zhu Youxing had specifically requested that a batch of goods need to be released early, and the factory had to be in a hurry.

Fortunately, the circuit board itself is not complicated, and it only needs a simple factory report to start working.

At the same time, Zhuyouxing also contacted the factory of the plastic casing, and the final price was maintained at a cost of only 400 yen for a set of game console casing and accessories.

In this way, the main board of the game console is 650 yen, plus the shell of 400 yen, and then an additional cost of about 700 yen for labor and rent, etc. 1,500 yen reduced to 1,750 yen.

For this cost price, Zhuyou Xing still feels that there is still room for compression, but it is acceptable now.

And there are only three or four days left before the delivery date that Datian is negotiating with, which can be said to be just right.

After selling ten game consoles, the price is 2 million yen. After waiting for another ten days, I will give my first partner Ota Masa ample opportunity to make money before starting the second batch of game console sales.

So far, everything is still in Zhuyouxing's plan.
