Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

   Chapter 258 Coping Strategies

   In recent months, a group of very young entrepreneurs has emerged.

   They are very generous with their money, and without any scruples, go to various places, and then brag about their business success.

"I tell you, as long as you attract a few young programmers and make some simple games, it only takes half a month to complete the production, and then put it on the market, you can immediately get more than ten times the return, and now it is The best time."

   In a night KTV, several young people showed young and beautiful women, holding expensive champagne in their hands, excitedly talking about their recent fortunes.

  Besides, many people are listening carefully.

   "Are video games really so profitable? Why didn't you find out before?"

The young man holding the champagne said disdainfully: "Hehe, you have no knowledge. Now video games have become a popular entertainment product, as long as you make them, everyone is rushing to buy them, so you don't have to worry about it at all. selling!"

   "Come, come, let's dance and sing! Celebrate what we got today!"

  In these night shows, they swayed their money recklessly, and the contrast here are many families.

  The children were delighted to see the game consoles and cassettes that their parents bought at home.

   It's just that they were a little confused. These seem to be different from the game consoles bought by their classmates in their school.

But since they are called game consoles, they should be similar, and parents are very generous and can buy more than ten games in one go. Even if there are some games that they don't like to play, there will always be ones that they like, and they can also Show off how many game cartridges you have in school.

   However, when they happily connected to the TV and plugged in a piece of adventure called the American Soldier, there were bursts of piercing screams on the TV, which scared the child to the point of fainting.

  The parents were also taken aback, and hurried over to turn off the TV, then looked at the cassette in confusion, and then glanced at the child who was a little terrified.

   "Dad, this is different from what my classmates said. They didn't say this thing would scream."

   "Maybe... there is something wrong with the operation. Let's turn the TV volume down a bit."

  The father was also a little unsure, and turned the volume of the TV down to the lowest level, and then tried to turn on the game console system.

   But even so, the sound of this cassette is very noisy, which makes people feel very irritable.

   But the good thing is that the game is at least running.

   The appearance of this game is basically similar to that of Contra, and there is no difference in the way of play, which is very clumsy.

  But this game can at least be run through the handle.

   In the end, my father couldn't help but turn off the volume directly, which improved the game experience a little bit.

  The child also quickly forgot the previous unhappiness and began to concentrate on playing.

But the good times didn't last long. After just playing the first level, the game console started to freeze inexplicably, and the entire game screen also experienced obvious delays. In short, all kinds of bad game experiences were all blessed together. People are very uncomfortable to play.

   In the end, the child couldn't bear it, so he decided to try another cassette.

   The next step is to change multiple cassettes in a row, and the result is the same, without any change.

  The game either suddenly freezes, or the game itself is not done at all, it is completely a semi-finished product of the beta version, and the game is over after only ten minutes of play.

   In the end, the child gave up completely, and he began to wonder if this was a fun game that his classmates boasted about. Why is it so rubbish?

   What is there to brag about?

   He doesn't even want to show it off to his classmates tomorrow.

  In nightclubs, young entrepreneurs continue to brag about the future of video games, and at home, children gradually let go of the handle, even with some disgust.

   In the United States on the other side of the ocean, Zhu Yuxing has not slept all night.

   He is constantly thinking about countermeasures.

  Increase SFC production? This is not impossible, let a professional company contact Huaxia, the world factory is not just talking about it, but it is somewhat far from being able to quench the thirst.

   This kind of thing that bad money drives out good money must be killed in a fast, accurate and ruthless way, and there must be no delay.

   But things to increase production must start to be put on the agenda.

   So Zhu Yuxing asked the company's business department to do this in the early morning of the next day. He only needed to specify the specific OEM country, and then let the company's business department staff supervise the quality.

In fact, if possible, Zhu Youxing also hopes to bring back a little bit of cutting-edge technology to Huaxia in this way, but this needs to bypass the surveillance of the United States, which will be a little more complicated, but as long as you want to do it, it is always There is a way.

   In addition to doing this, Zhu Yuxing found Shenda Electronics, a factory that has been OEM game consoles for Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

  With the deepening of cooperation and the sincerity of cooperation at the beginning, Zhuyouxing has now become the largest customer of Shenda Electronics, and it is also the kind of big customer who gives priority to Zhuyouxing in everything.

  Because of the big customer Zhuyouxing, they also expanded the factory, which is a rare positive development company in Japan's current foundry electronic product industry.

   Zhu Youxing made a direct phone call to his long-time partner, Hirohito Zhitian, a salesman of Shenda Electronics a long time ago. Now he is the main business manager.

   "Chitian-san, I remember that your previous FC production line was about to be eliminated."

As for Zhu Youxing's phone call, Zhitian Guangren answered it almost in seconds. It can be said that without Zhuyouxing, there would be no current Zhitian Guangren. He cherishes his friendship with Zhuyouxing very much, and he does not let up in the slightest. Clearly, Zhu Yuxing is more active.

   Hearing Zhu Yuxing's question, he nodded and said, "That's right, isn't the FC production line planning to gradually reduce the production capacity? Then we are going to eliminate the old production line. Do you have any questions?"

   Take Yuxing said immediately: "I need you to restart these production lines immediately, and now there is a lot of urgent work to do."

Hearing the word urgent, Zhitian Guangren immediately straightened his chest and said seriously: "Okay, I understand, I will now arrange the factory to re-plan a new production line. It just happened that our new factory was built not long ago, and the production line has not been planned yet. ."

Zhitian Guangren doesn't know what Zhu Youxing wants to do, but the requirements of major customers are the first priority. Anyway, Zhu Youxing will not give up money. Ever since the game industry got rich, Youxing Electronic Entertainment has been estimated With tens of billions of reserve funds, it is already a very powerful company.
