Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

"Well, GSL has sold another hill, this thing is really popular."

The investigator of Su Rui Electronics stood by the side of the shelf and observed, taking out a pen to record the approximate data.

The sales of GSL handhelds have been very good in the past few days. The products are piled up like a mountain, and then they will be quickly digested on the day, and then piled up into a mountain.

This cycle goes on and on, an average of one hill will be digested every hour, and a hill has an average of about two hundred boxes of game consoles. The investigator only needs to record the average consumption speed of these hills, and the work is considered easy. Occasionally he You can even take the time to go to the demo area to play.

"Sorry sir, our GS1 game console is temporarily out of stock, but a new batch will arrive tomorrow, so please wait patiently."

Not far away, a clerk was explaining apologetically to a customer.

The investigator turned his head subconsciously and found that it was a young female customer.

This is really rare.

No, it's not uncommon, at least he has seen more and more female customers these days.

And besides the female customers, there are also many elderly and middle-aged people.

These should not be included in the game console player group in the game market.

But these people also seem to be interested in game consoles.

It should not be bought for myself, it may be a gift for a child or a relative.

The investigator thought subconsciously.

Um? Wait, the home game console GS1 is already sold out in this store?

Isn't this a game console that has been on sale for a year or two? Why is it still out of stock?

As a member of the marketing department, he will more or less have a rough estimate on the sales of some products.

Generally speaking, if the production capacity is not limited, the supply of a product must be sufficient one year after its release.

Unless there are some accidents, for example, some advertisements have a good effect in some regions, so that people in this region start to want to buy products that have been on sale for a year or two.

Or some special circumstances.

It happened before that after a celebrity’s private life photos were exposed, it was discovered that the celebrity was clearly advertising a certain skin care product, but secretly, he had been advertising a competitor’s product, which in turn caused the sales of the competitor’s product to skyrocket.

So, do you want to record this abnormal situation?

The investigator thought about it and decided to record it.

The sales of Youxing Electronic Entertainment’s home game console GS1 are abnormal, and the official direct-sale store is out of stock, but the specific sales data needs to be investigated in conjunction with other channels.

After making this record, his day's work is almost done today.

Next, it's time to experience the games of Youxing Electronic Entertainment!

He couldn't wait to go to one of the demo areas and start to experience it. At the same time, in order to avoid making himself look too different and being suspicious, he decided to buy a GSL handheld that is currently on sale.

Don't get me wrong, I'm just trying to avoid being suspicious, definitely not because I want to play a competitor's game.

Well, if you have a handheld, you must buy two game cartridges, right?

After playing the games for a while, the investigator finally decided to buy the most popular games.

The clerk served the investigator very enthusiastically, and seemed to have no idea of ​​the investigator's true identity.

In other words, it doesn't matter even if you know, Youxing Electronic Entertainment doesn't care about other people investigating these things.

The investigator who bought the game he wanted came home from get off work in a good mood.

This kind of work is really more enjoyable than working in an office.

...

On a certain day, such a big headline was listed on the latest issue of Time Magazine.

Age of gamers.

The cover below the title is a scene where more than a dozen people of different ages, genders, and professional images play the game.

Some of them look like soldiers, some look like scientists.

Video games seem to be expanding in all aspects from a once relatively niche industry genre.

No matter what your occupation is, no matter what your hobbies are, video games can always bring you joy in your mood.

This is the first time that Time magazine has published video games, which represents a milestone.

The radiation range of the previous video game cultural circle was very small, and only a small number of people would be interested in it.

But now video games have their own legion of supporters from all walks of life, so that anyone in any industry will take a hard look at this whole new industry when they see it.

Whether they want to suppress them because they touch their interests, or want to actively cooperate on the contrary, depends on whether the leaders of other industries have vision.

However, although the cover is a combined photo of players in the entire industry, the content of Time Magazine is an exclusive interview with Zhu Youxing.

This seems to be the official recognition that Zhu Youxing is the leader and representative of this industry.

In the article, Zhu Youxing has always emphasized serving the players well, because he is also a player himself, and serving the players well is also serving himself well, and he always keeps his attitude very low. The editor of Time Weekly appreciates this very much and published a own opinion.

And this article will naturally also have an influence, but this influence will not radiate to ordinary users, but let those Wall Street and other investment giants see more business opportunities.

After reading this article, they all began to consider whether to invest more in video games.

It's just that they have invested a lot of money in the Internet recently, and it is not enough to get some money to invest in games.

After careful consideration for a long time, they decided to get some money first and invest a little bit.

But obviously they care more about the Internet industry in their hearts, because they think that video games only have a market for those who like to play games.

But the Internet is something that almost everyone will have to contact and understand in the future, so the user levels of the two parties will definitely not be at the same level.

In the company headquarters of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, after two days of freshness, Zhu Youxing feels that he has an independent layer and seems a bit lonely.

So he hardly stayed in his office, and spent most of his time in the game development department and continued to stare at the game development.

The GSL handheld is released, and all the first games have completed the first mission, but it does not mean that the work is over.

Next, each game development team was assigned new jobs one after another.

Zhu Youxing has a lot of game production plans in the future. Street Fighter should consider updating it to make a third part of Street Fighter. Then Zhu Youxing also considers that he may not have the energy to open a new pit of the King of Fighters, so he simply put The characters of King of Fighters have also been moved to Street Fighter.

It just so happens that the number of characters in Street Fighter itself is not too many, and the number of characters in the two games combined is probably beyond imagination.

It's just that the company's department that specializes in game numerical research may be blinded.

The introduction of character action values ​​of this order of magnitude may directly overload their brains.
