Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Zhuyouxing interviewed employees very smoothly. Most of them are qualified programmers and computer engineers. The only difference is how to change their thinking to create games.

But only one of them is a special case.

A strange girl.

Wrapped himself so tightly that Zhu Youxing couldn't even see his face clearly.

But when he saw this girl, he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity.

It seems to have seen it somewhere.

But Tsukino Aya has a deep memory of Zhuyou Xing.

It's the guy who claims to be a clerk in the entertainment hall, why is he here? In addition to being a clerk in the entertainment hall, is he also an interviewer for this company?

"Hello, Ms. Aya Tsukino, right? Your resume is amazing. You graduated from Stanford with a major in computer science. I'm afraid you will be very popular with this kind of education everywhere, right?"

"I don't like those places, and besides, I'm not short of money." Yue Yecai answered Zhu Youxing's question very simply.

Not for the money?

"I'm just interested in the games your company makes."

Zhu Youxing's eyes lit up when he heard it.

This is the only one in the interview today who said he was interested in the game itself.

Most of the other people who came over were still at a loss for the so-called video games.

Some of them know about red and white machines, but they don't have a specific concept about this aspect.

"Tell me your opinion on video games." Zhu Youxing became interested and began to ask.

The previous few employees basically just asked simple questions to pass.

But this month Aya Tsukino is special.

"Video games are fun, and I think they could be more fun, I just don't know where to start."

This is the first one who wants to take the initiative to learn how to make games! And graduated from a top university.

Zhu Youxing felt as if he had found a treasure.

He started to discuss with Tsukino Aya very enthusiastically.

Originally, Zhu Youxing should be the interviewer, so he should be more serious.

But when he saw a person who was willing to take the initiative to play games, he couldn't hold back the character design.

As Yue Yecai talked with Zhu Youxing, she also felt that Zhu Youxing himself was a little mysterious.

This does not seem to be a simple interviewer and entertainment hall clerk.

He knows so much about computer technology, and it seems that the interviewer should not be so familiar with computers.

Could it be that he is also a veteran programmer in this company?

"You are hired, and you can come to work in the company tomorrow, and the salary is a high standard in the market."

Zhu Youxing has no doubts about Aya Tsukino's level at all, and the students who graduated from Stanford Computer Science are almost the top in the industry.

"Well, can I make a condition?"

Tsukino Aya suddenly raised her hand and said.

"you say."

"I'd love to be able to work from home if I can, but just programming should be fine."

Zhu Youxing was taken aback.

This requirement is a bit special.

On the first day, I proposed to work from home.

I'm afraid most companies can't accept it.

Maybe that's why she hasn't been looking for a job?

Seeing Zhu Youxing's expression, Tsukino Aya quickly said: "If it doesn't work, I hope my work station can be separated, and I don't want to get too close to other people."

This time Aya Tsukino really wanted to work here because the game was fun and she wanted to be a part of it.

Zhu Youxing looked at Yue Yecai suspiciously.

Are you wearing tight clothes all over your body to prevent someone from touching you?

It seems that the company will have a group of weird programmers.

This guy wrapped himself up tightly, except for the bright silver ponytails, he couldn't see his appearance and figure at all. It's really curious what he looks like.

"Of course there is no problem, the company is also very big."

"Then I'll be fine."

"The employment contract will be officially signed tomorrow, and then you can officially start working."

Zhu Youxing will also lead this group of people to the first game production process.

...

After recruiting employees, Zhuyouxing began to train them in game production.

It is not easy for them to enter a brand new industry, but at least it is a start, and there can also be a project for them to follow and learn, and try to let them make the first game with themselves within a month Made it.

A month passed quickly, and the overall development of the company gradually entered the right track.

Including the first week of game console sales, it has taken a total of one month and one week so far. More than 100,000 game consoles have been sold, and the highest game sales volume is more than 81,000 copies of Tetris. Followed by more than 65,000 copies of Contra.

There are about 50,000 copies of Bomberman, Tank Wars, and Backgammon.

The one that sold the least was Dragon Quest, which was the longest in the making.

Zhu Youxing is not in a hurry for this sales volume, because role-playing games need time to ferment, and it has not yet reached the moment of real explosion.

The manga magazine has been using the manga to promote it in an orderly manner, and the manga story is about to reach a climax. At that time, we can look at the release data of the game.

And the official release of the eighth game is not far away.

In a month, most players have almost played the existing games, just in need of a new game.

"Super Baseball Game, the latest game for Famicom is about to be released! You can pre-order it in advance! Each store pre-orders will have different official pre-order bonuses. If you pre-order in this store, you will get a baseball game-limited exclusive badge! Only 3,500 yen!"

In the Datian Entertainment Hall, the clerks are promoting the latest games.

The latest game is on sale, and it's a baseball game.

As Japan's first national sport, baseball's status has been unshakable for many years.

Just announcing the billboard immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Especially children, their eyes shine even more.

They have been influenced by baseball since they were young, and they dreamed that they could stand on the baseball field and receive much attention when they were adults.

At this moment, on the billboard is the image of a young man posing to throw a ball, surrounded by countless little people cheering from the audience. Just looking at the billboard makes many children yearn for it.

It only cost 3,500 yen, and the children immediately clamored for their parents to buy a super baseball game. At this time, the parents seemed to be gradually responding.

Buying a game console before is not the end, but a beginning. The game console is just a carrier. If you want to play more games, you have to buy additional ones.

Although the money is not much, it is definitely not a small amount after gradually accumulating.

As a result, many parents resolutely rejected their children's requests, which caused children from many families to cry.

But even if they are rejected, children from ordinary families only need to grit their teeth, and they can also buy it with a month's worth of pocket money.

Before a month, not many people really understood what the so-called red and white machine was.

But a month later, at least in the Tokyo metropolitan area, the Famicom has become a familiar term.

Anyone who has a red and white machine and the latest games will immediately become the darling of the children.

Newspapers, TV and other media also began to gradually appear red and white machines.

This is no longer an advertisement, at least Zhuyouxing didn't pay for it.

And this once again increased the influence of the red and white machine.

At this moment in Yuxing Electronic Entertainment Co., Ltd., as several programmers and engineers who followed to develop the Super Baseball Game, they were feeling a little nervous.

In addition to Zhu Youxing's explanation and guidance on game production, the Super Baseball Game is basically independently produced and completed by them.

They have no idea whether the game will be a hit or not.

And the closer the release date was, the heavier their uneasiness became.
