   Chapter 183 Good income

   "Mom is very happy."

   Ono Yujiang had been depressed for too long before, and was quite rebellious.

  Although Ono Yujiang felt ashamed of his parents, he was reluctant to express it.

   Until now, Ono Yujiang is willing to take the initiative to say that he wants to pursue certain careers, and it seems that he is coming out of the psychological shadow of the past, which is a good thing!

   "Mom, I will work hard, I will try my best to find a way to get better, but it may be a little difficult, or there may be some difficulties."

   "It doesn't matter, as long as you are happy, do you still want to go to the psychiatrist's appointment tomorrow?"

   Ono Yujiang thought for a while and said, "No, I won't be going for the next two weeks. I think I'm quite happy now, okay?"

   "Of course you can, as long as you are happy, but my mother has some questions, what is the career you want to pursue?"

   "This...can I keep it a secret for the time being? I want to wait for half a month to see the situation and tell you guys. There should be results in half a month."

   Ono Yujiang didn't want to say it directly.

   He was afraid.

  I am afraid that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

   So he wants to wait for the results of the real challenge to come out, and then he will tell his parents well.

   Up to now, he is not sure whether his choice is correct.

   But he can be sure that this is something that makes him happy, so he feels he should stick to it.

   "Okay, I'm waiting for your good news." Ono Yujiang's mother looked at the child tenderly.

  The family is the spiritual support of Ono Yujiang's mother. As long as the family is complete and happy, there is nothing better than this.

   As for Ono Yujiang's father, he went out to run a project temporarily, and he would have to wait at least a month or two before returning.

   That's just right. Ono Yujiang just didn't know how to tell his father about this kind of thing.

   At this moment, an advertisement was playing on the TV, and the melody of the advertisement was very familiar. It was a mix of music from Super Mario, Metroid, Contra, and Tetris, which was pretty good.

   "The Speed ​​Challenge Contest has officially started! As long as you win, you can get a reward of 10 million yen! There is also a seven-day trip to Hawaii for the whole family, please sign up!"

   Ono Yujiang was moved again when he heard this advertisement.

   He took a few rice **** and snacks and said, "Mom, I'm going back to the bedroom."

   "Can't you eat here?"

   "Well... I want to work hard."

   "Alright then, come on."

"Uh-huh."

   Ono Yujiang took the food back to the bedroom and started his own customs clearance challenge again.

   At the same time, Zhu Yuxing, who rarely rests at home for a day or two, is also watching the latest advertisement.

  According to the feedback from several directly-operated stores today, the speed challenger plan this time is quite successful.

   On the day of the competition, more than 10,000 people who have never played video games participated in the challenge.

   There are also many estimates without participation.

   On the same day, the store sales data of video games and game consoles increased by at least 30% on average compared to the previous day.

   This is a good omen.

   The main purpose of this promotion is to expand the base of gamers.

The current video game field is still in an era of increasing growth. Even in Japan, the base of gamers can at least exceed 100 million. The total sales of FC, SFC and GB sold together have barely exceeded 10 million. There is no mining. There are still quite a few users out there.

   And the publicity effect this time has greatly increased the influx of gamers, which is very beneficial to the overall video game industry.

   Moreover, if my estimate is correct, I am afraid that the games and game consoles sold today can already earn all the money from the prizes.

   You may be able to earn back the publicity costs tomorrow, which means adding more users without spending a penny.

   Sure enough, competition is easier to arouse people's interest, which is an instinct engraved in human bones.

  While other game makers are still trying their best to make good games and trying to grab some users from Zhuyouxing, Zhuyouxing continues to expand its users crazily.

   You may be able to fool hundreds of thousands of users from my side with your hard work.

   But I can directly add tens of thousands of extra players in just one day today.

   This means that you are on the first floor and I am already on the third floor.

   When these manufacturers react, they may regret why they have to grab users with themselves.

   Today's news from TV Tokyo is covering the scene of this video game challenge. Just looking at it on the TV, you can tell that the scale is quite large and the momentum is gratifying.

   We can continue to increase investment in advertising tomorrow, and strive to maximize the potential of this challenge.

On the second day of the    challenge, the number of people who came to join in the fun increased again.

   Even if they don’t participate in the challenge, they would love to see who the grand prize of this challenge will go to.

  Many people don't quite understand how these games are played, but at least they all know that whoever has the shortest time on the leaderboard is the first.

Today's statistics are the leaderboards of all the people who participated in the challenge yesterday. The leaderboards of several stores are synchronized, but the names of the stores participating in the challenge will be added in the remarks later, which can also help these stores to increase a little bit. Reputation.

   Ono Yujiang also came to the scene of one of the challenges on time today.

   I went to three of them yesterday, and I will go to a few more today.

   For this he also took the tram for several hours early in the morning.

  The shop he came to today was already in the relatively remote Arakawa district of Tokyo.

   Contrary to his expectations, there were more people at the challenge venue here than at the other venues he went to yesterday.

   Thanks to the relatively low price of game consoles, red and white consoles have become the favorite of many young people and children in Arakawa District.

A brand new red and white machine is now only 3,000 yen, and the average price of second-hand game cartridges is only around 2,000 yen. If you are tired of playing, you can directly go to the official store to trade in other products. The game cassette continues to play, which is quite cost-effective.

Therefore, there are more players here, and it has been completely civilian. There are also the most children here. On Sundays, they just stay here and stay here, try the SFC game console with better pictures for free, and Everyone has three opportunities to challenge, and the children directly regard this as a rare opportunity to play.

The rent of the shops in Arakawa District is relatively low. In the case of the hot sale of game consoles, the store manager here also simply sold several surrounding stores within a year, forming a super-large store covering an area of ​​more than 2,000 square meters. , which also allows more than 500 game consoles to be placed here.

   Even if there are so many game machines and the store area is so large, the players here are still very crowded.
