Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

   Chapter 169 Suri's Struggle

  Developing overseas has been considered before.

   However, Songqiao believes that if he wants to enter the European and American markets, the International Consumer Electronics Show held in the United States every year is the key point.

   Take Yuxing also thinks it makes sense, and it was true in his previous life. Some well-known electronic products were first exhibited in this exhibition before they became widely known.

Until the major leading companies in later generations gradually formed their own press conference models, the publicity effect of this kind of consumer exhibition was slightly reduced, but it was only slightly reduced. The products that are truly epoch-making will still appear in this exhibition for the first time. , to show the world the technology of the future.

The release of    Pokémon and the successful marketing of Pokémon have stabilized the market in Japan.

   Now Zhuyouxing can eat for at least two or three years even if he has his own money.

   Others want to do the same as themselves, and the price they pay is many times higher.

   Now Take Yuxing believes that the time is ripe, so he officially announced the news of going overseas in the media and his own website.

  This time, players will be able to truly experience the fun of the Internet.

   In the future, in the network ranking on game consoles, not only players from Japan, but players from all over the world will play together unimpeded.

   This is also a signal, a reassurance for those third-party game production companies that are more volatile.

  Follow us, it will not only be limited to Japan, there will be a huge market in the world waiting for us in the future.

   Play with us obediently and make good games for us, and you can all make a lot of money.

   Needless to say, those individual studios and game production companies who followed Take Yusei in the early days.

   They are a group of producers that Zhu Yuxing personally cultivated, and they are almost the most loyal.

  If there is no Zhu Yuxing, they would not be what they are now.

   Of course, more importantly, Zhu Yuxing can bring them big money.

  If there is no interest, the loyalty of these people will probably be a blank slate.

   At this moment, Hayakawa Ueto, who saw the news in the newspaper, closed his eyes lightly, then put his hand on his forehead and fell into deep thought.

  Youxing Electronic Entertainment is developing too fast.

   In all, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment should have developed for more than a year and a half, but now it has completely dominated the Japanese video game market and is almost unshakable.

   Unless you wait for some accidents on your own, their status will be unbreakable.

   Now it seems that such an idea is simply impossible.

   As long as Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is controlled by Zhu Yuxing alone, as long as he is the only person with the right to speak, there will be no accidents in this company.

   Hayakawa Ueto sees this very clearly.

   However, he can see clearly, but the people above do not see very clearly.

   Not long ago, his application to extend the research and development time and increase the budget was rejected.

   Even if his father is the president, the board of directors doesn't give any face at all.

   The reason they gave is: For more than a year, the video game division, which is supported by the thigh of Suri Electronics, has not captured more than 30% of the market share, which has been a failure.

   And the 50% share overseas is actually only 500,000 of 200,000 to 300,000 players, which is not even half of the number of local users in Japan.

   Backed by Suri Electronics, even a new company like Youxing Electronics Entertainment could not be defeated. Some shareholders of the board of directors seemed to have some doubts about Hayakawa Zhiren's management ability.

   Hayakawa Kentaro, the president, tried his best to defend this, and at the same time used his power as president to suppress the dissatisfaction of this group of people, and prepared to force the budget application of Hayakawa Zhiren, but was eventually rejected by a collective vote.

  The board needs the new console to be profitable first, and then add a portion of the budget, otherwise don't think about the addition.

   They euphemistically called it a test for Hayakawa Zhiren, to test whether he had a way of coping when faced with difficulties.

   Kneeling in his living room, Hayakawa Ueto felt a little powerless.

   He wanted to show off, but the board seemed to be targeting him.

   He knew that this was probably a factional struggle within the company.

  This is the case with large companies, especially Surui Electronics, which has a very complicated shareholding.

  The shareholders include one of the major chaebols in Japan, as well as a prince, a large bank, and so on.

  The overall economic environment in Japan is not particularly good. Sometimes these old folks always want to be conservative because of this, especially the shareholders of the bank, who are very cautious about budget investment.

   The previous investment in the game business unit was indeed not small. They didn’t want to invest too much, but wanted to see the money back first.

According to what they mean: game consoles do not have to follow the footsteps of Ustar Electronic Entertainment, we have stronger game performance, and there is no need to make a fuss about the Internet and wired communications, and now they feel that their game consoles are already very good. , you can take it out and sell it directly.

   Hayakawa Ueto only felt a little tired.

   "Immediate, come here."

   I heard the deep voice of my father from next door.

  Although my father is a thin old man, he has always been full of energy in his speech, and he does not have the weak attitude that an old man should have.

   Hearing his father's call, Hayakawa Ueto immediately put down the teacup, got up from the ground and quickly came to the next door.

   "Father, did you call me?"

   "You take this."

   Hayakawa Kentaro handed over a document directly, without much nonsense.

   Hayakawa Ukito took the document suspiciously and looked at it, then showed a surprised look.

   "Father, do you want to provide all R&D funds to our department for free? This does not comply with the company's regulations, right? Will it affect your position as president?"

   In the document, it is an announcement of free donation of research and development funds.

   Hayakawa Kentaro used his own money to fund a separate video game business unit in his own name, and stated that he would not ask for anything in return, just a personal donation.

"You are short of money now, and the family is not short of money. You can put it away and use it if you need it. This is a free donation. Whether it is successful or not, I can't get any return for it, and the board of directors can't do anything about it. say what."

   "However, if I succeed, I will gain the entire company, and you will have nothing to do with your father. This is a huge loss!"

"Your position is more important. This money is equivalent to a stepping stone to stabilize your position. I don't think it is useless. With this money, you can complete your plan. As for the application for deferred release, I will give it to you. Find a way to pass, and what I do is to hope that you will have the opportunity to inherit this company in the future."

   Hayakawa Kentaro's eyes are deep, his pupils are large and bright, and the black pupils almost occupy the entire eyes, giving people a deep and elusive feeling, and even people dare not look directly.

   When he was young, Hayakawa Kentaro was a young man who dared to fight in his career. It was with this fighting spirit that he really built such a huge electronic empire. There may be many compromises, but he is still very proud.

   And what he is more proud of is actually his own son who is enough to compete.

   On the other side of the giants, they all claim that they are eager to have a daughter, because in this way they can choose an excellent son-in-law to inherit the family business and ensure the stability of the family business.

   And he has no worries in this regard, his son is as good as he is, but his son still needs a little time.

   As his father, he must protect his most valuable child from the wind and rain.

   "I am very optimistic about the video game industry. It should be the future entertainment direction. Work hard to complete your plan."
