Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

   Chapter 167 Pokémon Restaurant

   is located in one of the most prosperous streets in Chiyoda District, Tokyo, where there are all kinds of the most popular fashion products.

  The latest electrical appliances, the most popular electronic products, as well as a variety of innovative maid cafes, entertainment halls and other stores are located on this street.

  This is also Akihabara, known as the Holy Land of Otaku in later generations.

Today, a well-located store here is undergoing renovation. From the outside, it seems to be a restaurant, which is quite common in this street, but what is interesting is that the sign of the restaurant is a restaurant. Huge yellow lightning rat image.

   This image is already very familiar among girls.

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

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

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

   "Uncle, are you going to open a restaurant here?"

   Finally, a girl gathered up the courage to walk over and ask.

  The leader of the workers who was rushing to work turned his head, smiled and said, "Yes, it is a restaurant related to games. We are rushing to renovate. Maybe you will be able to see the whole picture of the store in five or six days."

After   , the team leader 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."

  Related to games?

   The girl took the promotional paper, and then politely thanked her, followed by a few friends who were traveling together and looked at the paper curiously.

   On the promotional paper, it is a big Pikachu.

  Pokémon Restaurant is about to open, welcome everyone.

   It turned out to be a restaurant, and it was also a restaurant related to these small animals, which immediately made these girls chat and discuss.

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

   "I heard from my middle school male classmates that Pokémon seems to be a video game they are playing."

   "Huh? Are the boys also interested in small animals like Pikachu? Are they also playing Takuma song?"

   "No, it doesn't seem to be the same, but anyway, we can wait for the opening in a few days to come and see, what do you think?"

   "Ok ok, look at how delicious this dish looks."

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

   At this time, the girl turned the poster over again, and the back was printed with a variety of Pokémon-related desserts, drinks, etc., which were colorful and looked good, and many girls had stars in their eyes.

  Especially they noticed that these desserts and drinks were pretty cheap on average.

   A glass of yellow juice drink called Lightning Picka only costs 300 yen a glass.

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

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

   "Hey wait, look at the instructions below."

   At this time, a girl noticed that there was a small inconspicuous description below this.

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

   "Ah? If you want to enjoy this preferential price, you have to buy that GB, but that's something that only boys have."

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

   At this moment, 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 only boys play?"

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

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

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

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

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

   And the restaurant's publicity 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 bring one person.

   And in the promotional poster, it is also written in detail that there will be occasional activities about Pokémon in the restaurant, and if they are completed, they will also get some additional rewards.

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

  After the sales of more than 200,000 in the first week, the sales in the second week immediately fell to less than 50,000, but in the third week it quickly returned to the weekly sales data of 100,000.

   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.

   There is also a super prize at the end.

   A gift from dreams.

  As long as the fantasy is captured within a limited time, game players can get a year of free game rewards from the first party of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, which will be mailed to the winning players every month.

   And this publicity effect seems to be somewhat immediate.

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

   Even if you can't catch the best fantasy, you can still get prizes by catching other designated Pokémon.

  Compared to investing too much money in advertisers, this kind of promotion that rewards players directly seems to be more effective.

   Recently, Oda Chong found out that all his friends with GB started playing Pokémon.

   They had no interest in it before.

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

   But when the short period of boredom passes, the fun slowly unfolds.

   "Tian Chong-chan, do you have a mini dragon there? I'll exchange it 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 mini-dragon doll, but this one is not for sale. Only mini-dragon Pokémon can be exchanged for gifts, please! Just help! Me this time! I'll exchange ten Pokémon with you!"

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