Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Takeyusei had no interest in this kind of food, which was almost all raw, but Deputy Chief Asakusa seemed to be very keen.

When he came here, he directly ordered several kinds of signature sashimi dishes in the store, including fugu sashimi.

This thing itself is highly poisonous, although it is basically okay to deal with it, and this is a very well-known shop, they dare not smash signs on it, but it still makes Zhu Youxing uncomfortable.

Sure enough, he still prefers simpler foods like octopus balls. Up to now, he doesn't like the so-called high-end cuisine in Japan.

"Mr. Takeyou, this is the precious sake I brought over, please have a taste."

Asakusa is very enthusiastic and has no airs about being a deputy minister of a government agency.

In other words, there are few people who can make Asakusa feel free, and Zhu Youxing is one of them.

Asakusa personally poured wine for Takeyusei.

Zhu Youxing is his noble person, so it is worth letting him do this.

"Deputy Chief Asakusa, don't be so polite."

Zhu Youxing also shied away a bit, but he was too enthusiastic, maybe he really helped him a lot.

He is already old, and it is really not easy to be promoted again at this age, so he is even more grateful to Zhu Youxing.

After a while of simple politeness, Zhu Youxing went straight to the topic and talked about his thoughts with Asakusa.

"Deputy Chief Asakusa, this time I want to obtain the right to use a piece of land. I checked before and found that the land also belongs to the Japanese government. This right to use is only for temporary use. I want to hold a carnival."

"Oh?" Asakusa was very interested, "What kind of carnival is it? Is it similar to the festival street tour?"

Zhu Youxing nodded: "It's similar, but there are some differences, because this carnival will only be aimed at our company itself. Of course, I think it may also benefit the government."

Zhu Youxing's words made Asakusa even more interested, and he immediately asked: "Can I understand the specific process?"

Zhu Youxing came prepared, and directly took out a map he had prepared and spread it out for Asakusa to see.

"I planned to rent this stadium for a week at the beginning. It was originally used to celebrate the 10th anniversary of our company, but then I thought that maybe this event could be held more grandly, not just by inviting some famous people. Character participation, I want this 10th anniversary celebration to be an unforgettable memory for the players, and then I changed the plan."

Zhu Youxing pointed to a large open space next to the sports field.

"Here, I want to rent it temporarily. Of course, I will pay the money, but if possible, I hope the government can help publicize it, just like the previous cultural industry promotion plan."

"It's not easy for the government to promote your company." Asakusa shook his head slightly.

This will affect fairness to some extent. It is impossible for the government to have so much effort to do something for a company.

Asakusa is very grateful to Zhu Youxing, but he really dare not directly agree to this kind of thing.

Zhu Youxing said at this time: "Don't worry about Deputy Chief Asakusa, I haven't finished yet."

"For our company, this will be an unforgettable carnival celebration, but I would like to say that for the government, it is also a good opportunity to promote Japan to the world."

Asakusa narrowed his eyes slightly.

This Zhu Youxing spoke in a very loud tone.

Don't you really want to deliberately exaggerate the influence of your company, and then ask the government to help promote it?

In fact, it is not impossible to let the government help with publicity. Now Youxing Electronic Entertainment can be regarded as a national brand company, but it is quite low-key for a country to help publicize a company's anniversary celebration. I am afraid that other people will not agree to this. thing.

But he still wanted to hear what Zhu Youxing wanted to say next.

"I know that you may have some doubts, Deputy Chief Asakusa, but you should change your mind after listening to what I'm going to say next."

Zhu Youxing took out another list of data.

"Deputy Chief Asakusa, you can take a look at this."

Asakusa immediately took it with both hands, and his attitude towards Zhu Youxing was still very good, and he would not change because of Zhu Youxing's rude demands.

He took the list of data, and it was written on the cover: Youxing Electronic Entertainment Financial Report 2002.

He was taken aback.

This is Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's annual financial report?

This is very important information.

In fact, Japan's taxation agency also has this data, but after all, he is not a member of the taxation agency, so it is naturally impossible to have access to these, and the taxation agency is also obliged to keep the company's financial reports that pay taxes on time confidential.

Financial reports like other ordinary listed companies cannot be hidden at all, but Youxing Electronic Entertainment is an outlier among world-renowned companies.

It does not accept any foreign capital intervention, and relies entirely on its own money to survive. It only borrowed some money through bank guarantees at the beginning, and it has been developing steadily since then.

Countless capitals want to invest in Youxing Electronic Entertainment, but they can only give up. They can only watch with envy that Youxing Electronic Entertainment harvests players' wallets again and again, but they don't get any money.

He immediately took out a pair of glasses and began to seriously study the information in the data.

First of all, the information displayed in the report is the sales data of several game consoles of Youxing Electronic Entertainment in this year.

SFC has been discontinued, and sales have stopped at 87 million units. On the contrary, FC is still in production, because the manufacturing cost of FC game consoles is frighteningly low.

If it is a cheap retail version without packaging, it can even be sold for less than 1,000 yen.

In fact, game consoles don’t make much money anymore. A game console earns a hard-earned money at most, like one or two hundred yen.

In this way, this FC game console often engages in promotions, and Youxing Electronic Entertainment spends money on promotions.

Needless to say, cassettes are often bought as free cassettes when buying game consoles, but most of them are cheaper versions of cassettes.

Producing this thing with the current technological strength is nothing at all.

If this was put on an ordinary company, I am afraid that production would have been discontinued long ago. After all, the money earned by this thing in a year is not even a fraction of the new game console, so there is no need to spend any more time on it.

But this is Zhuyouxing's strategy.

As the most classic game console, FC is also the first real game console in the world. Zhuyouxing hopes to open up the world market with this game console.

Today, the console is found all over the world.

Because it is cheap enough, everyone can enjoy a very pleasant game experience with very little money, which also allows them to thoroughly remember the brand of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

So far, the sales volume of FC is about to exceed 200 million.

Asakusa was slightly shocked.

An electronic entertainment product can sell nearly 200 million units. Even if it doesn't make much money, it is enough to prove the influence of this thing.

This made him couldn't help but look up at Zhu Youxing, the shock in his eyes couldn't be concealed.

Youxing Electronic Entertainment's financial report is not officially announced at all, only a little bit of news is occasionally revealed, allowing people to get a glimpse of the whole picture of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

But this is just a glimpse of the leopard.

At this time, Asakusa suddenly felt that the young man in front of him... No, this young man is no longer young, he is already thirty years old.

But how can anyone in this world reach his level at the age of thirty?

Perhaps the CEO of Morgan Group had such a demeanor when he was young.

It's really a pity, if he didn't give birth to a son, he really wanted Zhu Youxing to be his son-in-law.

In this way, he will have no regrets in his life.

Zhu Youxing just smiled and ate some snacks, the sashimi didn't move at all.

Asakusa continued to carefully check the following data.

However, perhaps because FC's astonishing sales of nearly 200 million had shocked him too much, he didn't respond to the sales of new game consoles later.

But when he saw the profits brought by these new game consoles, he couldn't sit still.

FC has sold nearly 200 million units, and the money it makes in a year may only be a few million dollars.

That kind of profit is really drizzle for a top company.

But the latest GS1 and GSL both sold almost 20 million units last year, and they each brought more than two billion US dollars in net profit.

Are video games so profitable?

This is simply printing money, right?

His ideas are not old-fashioned, but he still can't imagine that a bunch of data stored in the processor can bring such huge monetary benefits.

I am afraid that the value of each code can be compared with gold.

"Mr. Zhuyou, this is really shocking. The output value brought by your company is really beyond imagination."

Now, judging from Asakusa's selfishness, he very much wants to agree to the request made by Zhu Youxing before, and ask the government to help promote such a company.

But this is a very shocking statistic for him personally, and it is nothing for a country.

However, he can use his status as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology to make suggestions at the next departmental meeting, asking them to help promote Star Entertainment in the name of the department.

However, Zhuyou Xing must also make a corresponding return, and the help cannot be done in vain.

Zhu Youxing was very calm about Asakusa's exclamation, he just continued to smile and said: "Deputy Chief Asakusa, you can read down, there is more content behind."

The data given by Zhuyouxing is actually not just the content of the company's financial report.

As for the financial report, just show some key information, which is about a few pages, but Zhu Youxing gave Asakusa 30 to 40 pages of content, and Zhu Youxing just wanted him to read the following content patiently.

Asakusa immediately turned to the next page again.

On the next page, the data presented is the current number of users of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

These users are differentiated by way of world region distribution.

The first is the Asian region. It is roughly estimated that the number of users of Youxing Electronic Entertainment has reached 40 million.

Among them, 20 million are in Japan, and the remaining 20 million are distributed in various Asian countries.

Then there are North America and South America. The number of users of Youxing Electronic Entertainment combined in the two continents is roughly estimated to be about 70 million. The active users cannot be accurately measured now, but as long as someone has used the function of networking once last year, it will be Active users will be counted once, and the data of active users is 50 million.

Then came Australia and Europe, each with 10 million and more than 7 million users.

Finally, the African region.

Don't look at the economically disadvantaged side there, but their demand for entertainment is also very strong.

FC is a very cheap entertainment machine. Africa is the second hottest region for FC sales today, contributing more than 30 million sales, which can also be equivalent to 30 million users.

All together, this is almost a full 200 million users.

A company has 200 million users, which is almost certain that the company can make money lying down.

"Deputy Chief Asakusa, do you think there are many users like this?"

Needless to say? Quite a lot, of course, and a frighteningly large number.

It's hard to imagine this is a ten-year-old company.

He has only heard that the Internet can have such a large number of users, and the Internet is still free users, and they don't need to pay when they become users of a certain company.

But if you want to become a user of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, you must at least buy a FC game console.

200 million users who have given money and 200 million free Internet users, this is not an order of magnitude at all.

If the bubbles of the two industries burst at the same time, the Internet will definitely die suddenly on the spot, but Youxing Electronic Entertainment can continue to rely on such a user base to stabilize its position.

At this time, Asakusa once again realized that he still underestimated the strength of Zhu Yuxing.

Asakusa took a deep breath and looked at Zhuyou Xing: "Mr. Takeyou, what do you want to say next?"

He seemed to have realized what he was going to say next, but he wanted to hear it from Zhu Youxing himself.

Seeing Asakusa's reaction, Zhu Youxing knew that his plan was a success, the other party had been moved by him, and the rest was time to draw big cakes.

Zhu Youxing immediately started the painting mode: "As far as I know, has the government recently launched a new cultural revitalization plan? The purpose is to vigorously develop the tourism economy in Japan?"

"That's right, this is a plan launched by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry."

In Japan's administrative agencies, in order to show their abilities, they will naturally spare no effort to introduce various plans and policies.

The previous cultural industry revitalization plan was promoted by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and this had a very good response.

As other departments at the same level, they were naturally not far behind, and launched their own plans one after another.

Among them, people from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry launched a plan called "Cool Japan".

Later, the Cool Japan Strategy Office was established.

The purpose of the previous cultural industry promotion plan was to promote Japanese cultural products to the world and let the world know about Japan.

And Cool Japan is to let the people of the world focus on Japan and invite them to travel in Japan, thereby driving the Japanese economy again.

Zhu Youxing, who has a vision for future generations, knows that this plan was quite successful in the end, and it is much more reliable than some messy plans launched by other parallel organizations.

Later, they also came up with the idea of ​​a holy land parade, and they really carried it out.

This animated film called "Your Name" in the previous life brought more than 20 billion yen in revenue to the area where the film appeared, and became a role model for countless areas for a while.

At this time, Zhu Youxing was not surprised and said endlessly: "What if I say that my carnival may bring tourism revenue of more than 10 billion yen to Kyoto?"
