   Chapter 474 Amazing Data

   Take Yusei is not very interested in this kind of food, which is almost all raw, but Asakusa Deputy Chief seems to be very enthusiastic.

   He came here and ordered several of the shop's signature sashimi dishes, including puffer fish sashimi.

  This thing itself is highly poisonous, although it is basically no problem if it is handled well, and this is a very well-known shop, they dare not put a sign on it, but it still makes Zhu Yuxing uncomfortable.

   Sure enough, he still prefers simpler food such as octopus balls. So far, he does not like the so-called high-end cuisine in Japan.

   "Mr. Takeyou, this is the precious sake I brought here, please taste it."

  Asakusa is very enthusiastic and has absolutely no pretence to be the deputy chief of a government agency.

   In other words, there are very few people who can make Asakusa without a shelf, and Take Yusei is one of them.

  Asakusa poured wine for Take Yusei himself.

   Take Yusei is his nobleman, so it is worth letting him do it.

   "Secretary Asakusa, don't be so polite."

   Zhu Yuxing also shied away, but people were too enthusiastic, maybe he really helped him a lot.

   He is already old, and it is really not easy to get a promotion at this age, so he is even more grateful to Zhu Yuxing.

   After a few simple courtesies, Zhu Yuxing went straight to the topic and shared his thoughts with Asakusa.

   "Secretary Asakusa, this time I want to obtain the right to use a piece of land. I checked before, that piece of land also belongs to the Japanese government, and this right of use is only for temporary use. I want to hold a carnival."

   "Oh?" Asakusa was intrigued. "What kind of carnival? Is it like a festival street tour?"

   Zhu Youxing nodded: "It's similar, but there are some differences, because this carnival will only be aimed at our company, of course, I think it may also be beneficial to the government."

   Take Yusei's words made Asakusa even more interested, he immediately asked, "Can I understand the specific process?"

   Zhu Yuxing came prepared, and took out a map that he had prepared and spread it out to Asakusa to see.

"I originally planned to rent this stadium for a week, originally to celebrate the tenth anniversary of our company, but then I thought maybe we could make the event more grand, not just invite some famous people Character participation, I wanted this tenth anniversary celebration to be an unforgettable memory for players, and then I changed my plan."

   Take Yusei pointed to a large open space next to the sports arena.

   "Here, I want to rent temporarily, of course I will pay the money, but if possible, I hope the government can also help publicize it, just like the previous cultural industry revitalization plan."

   "It's not easy for the government to promote your company." Asakusa shook his head slightly.

  This will affect fairness to some extent, and the government cannot have so much time to do something for a company.

  Asakusa was very grateful to Take Yusei, but he really didn't dare to agree to this kind of thing directly.

   Take Yuxing said at this time: "Don't worry Asakusa Deputy Chief, I haven't finished yet."

   "For our company, this will be an unforgettable carnival celebration, but I would like to say that for the government, it is also a good opportunity to promote Japan to the world."

  Asakusa narrowed his eyes slightly.

   This Zhu Yuxing said in a very big tone.

   Don’t you really want to exaggerate the influence of your company and let the government help you promote it?

In fact, it’s not impossible to let the government help with publicity. Now Youxing Electronic Entertainment is considered to be a signature company in the country, but it is quite downgrading for a country to help publicize a company’s anniversary. Others may not agree to this. thing.

   But he still wanted to hear what Zhu Yuxing wanted to say next.

   "I know you may have some doubts, Deputy Chief Asakusa, but you should change your mind after listening to what I'm about to say next."

   Zhu Yuxing took out another data list.

   "Secretary Asakusa, you can take a look at this."

  Asakusa immediately took it with both hands, and his attitude towards Zhu Yuxing was still very good, and he would not change because of some rude requirements of Zhu Yuxing.

   He took the data list, and it was written on the cover: Youxing Electronic Entertainment Financial Report 2002.

   He was taken aback.

   Is this the annual financial report of Youxing Electronic Entertainment?

   This is very important information.

   In fact, the Japanese tax agency also has this data, but after all, he is not a member of the tax agency, and naturally he cannot access it, and the tax agency is also obliged to keep the company’s financial reports that pay taxes on time confidential.

   The financial report of other general listed companies cannot be hidden at all, but Youxing Electronic Entertainment is an outlier among the world-renowned companies.

  It does not accept the intervention of any foreign capital and relies entirely on its own money to survive. It only borrowed some money through bank guarantees at first, and it has been developing steadily since then.

   Countless capitals who want to invest in Yuxing Electronic Entertainment can only give up. They can only watch Yuxing Electronic Entertainment harvest players' wallets again and again with envy, but they can't share any money.

   He immediately took out a pair of glasses and began to seriously study the information in this data.

   First of all, the information displayed in the report is the sales data of several game consoles of Youxing Electronic Entertainment during the year.

  SFC has been discontinued, and its sales have stopped at 87 million units. Instead, FC is still in production, because the manufacturing cost of the FC game console itself is scary.

   If it is a cheap and unpackaged retail version, it can even sell for less than 1,000 yen.

   Game consoles don’t actually make much money anymore. A game console can earn hard money at most, like one or two hundred yen.

   In this way, this FC game console is often promoted, and Youxing Electronic Entertainment is subsidizing the promotion.

Not to mention    cassettes. I often buy game consoles to send cassettes, but most of them are cheaper versions of cassettes.

  Producing this thing with current technology is nothing at all.

   If this was put on a general company, I’m afraid it would have been discontinued long ago. After all, the money earned by this thing in a year is not even a fraction of the new game console, so there is no need to spend any more time on it.

   But this is Take Yusei's strategy.

  FC, as the most classic game console, is also the first real game console in the world. Zhuyouxing hopes to use this game console to open up the world market.

  Now, this game console has its presence all over the world.

  Because it is cheap enough, everyone can enjoy a very pleasant gaming experience with very little money, which also makes them remember the brand of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment thoroughly.

   Up to now, the sales volume of FC is about to exceed 200 million.

  Asakusa was slightly shocked.

   An electronic entertainment product can sell as fast as 200 million units. Even if it doesn’t make much money, it is enough to prove the influence of this thing.

   This made him unable to help but look up at Zhu Youxing, with a shock that could not be concealed in his eyes.

   Youxing Electronic Entertainment's financial report was not published seriously at all, and only a little bit of information was occasionally revealed to give a general glimpse of the whole picture of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

   But this is just a glimpse of the leopard.

   At this time, Asakusa suddenly felt the young man in front of him... No, this young man is no longer young, he is also thirty years old.

   But who in this world can reach his level at the age of 30?

   Maybe the CEO of Morgan Group had such a style when he was young.

  It's really a pity, if it wasn't for his son, he really wanted Zhu Yuxing to be his son-in-law.

  This way he will have no regrets in his life.

   Zhu Yuxing just smiled and ate some snacks at the same time, those sashimi did not move at all.

  Asakusa continued to carefully review the following data.

   But perhaps because FC's astonishingly fast 200 million sales shocked him too much, he didn't respond to the sales of the new game consoles later.

   But when he saw the profits from these new consoles, he couldn't sit still.

  FC sold nearly 200 million units, and the money earned in a year may only look like a million dollars.

   This kind of profit is really a drizzle for a top company.

  The latest GS1 and GSL both sold almost 20 million units last year, and they each brought in more than two billion dollars in net profit.

Are    video games so profitable?

   This is just printing money, right?

   His concept is not old-fashioned, but he still can't imagine that a pile of data stored in a processor can bring such a huge monetary benefit.

   I am afraid that the value of each code can be comparable to gold.

   "Mr. Zhuyou, this is really shocking. The output value brought by your company is really beyond imagination."

   Now, judging from Asakusa's selfishness, he very much wants to agree to the request made by Take Yusei before, and let the government help promote such a company.

   But this is a very shocking data for him personally, and it is still nothing for a country.

   However, he can make suggestions at the next departmental meeting through his identity as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and ask them to help promote Yuxing Electronic Entertainment in the name of the department.

   However, Zhu Yuxing must also make a corresponding return, and help cannot be in vain.

   Take Yusei was very calm at Asakusa's exclamation, he just continued to smile and said, "Asakusa Deputy Chief, you can look down, there is more content later."

   The data given by Zhu Yuxing is actually not just the content of the company's financial report.

  The financial report is enough to show some key information, which is about a few pages, and Zhu Yuxing gave Asakusa thirty or forty pages of content, and Zhu Yuxing wanted him to patiently read the content behind.

  Asakusa immediately turned to the next page again.

   On the next page, the data presented is the current number of users of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

   These users are differentiated by world regions.

   The first is Asia. It is roughly estimated that the number of users of Youxing Electronic Entertainment has reached 40 million.

   Among them, 20 million are in Japan, and the remaining 20 million are distributed in Asian countries.

Then there are North America and South America. The number of users of the two continents combined is roughly estimated to reach about 70 million. Active users cannot be accurately measured now, but as long as someone used the Internet function once in the past year, it will be Active users are counted once, and the number of active users is fifty million.

   followed by Australia and Europe, each with 10 million and 7 million users respectively.

   And finally the African region.

   Don't look at the fact that the economy is relatively weak, but their demand for entertainment is also very strong.

  FC is a very cheap entertainment machine. Africa is the second hottest region for FC sales today, contributing more than 30 million sales, which is roughly equivalent to 30 million users.

   All together, this is almost a full 200 million users.

   A company has 200 million users, which is almost certain that the company can make money lying down.

   "Asakusa Deputy Chief, do you think there are many users like this?"

   Does this even need to be said? Quite a lot, of course, and to a frightening level.

   It’s hard to imagine this is a ten-year-old company.

   He has only heard that the Internet can have such a user scale, and the Internet is still a free user, and they don’t have to pay when they become users of a certain company.

  If you want to become a user of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, you must buy a FC game console at least.

   200 million paid users and 200 million free Internet users, this is not an order of magnitude at all.

  If the two industrial bubbles burst at the same time, the Internet would definitely die on the spot, but Youxing Electronic Entertainment can continue to rely on such a number of users to stabilize its position.

   At this time, Asakusa once again realized that he still underestimated the strength of Take Yusei.

  Asakusa took a deep breath and looked at Zhu Yuxing: "Mr. Zhu Yu, what do you want to say next?"

   He seemed to have realized what he was going to say next, but he wanted to hear it from Takeyusei himself.

   Seeing Asakusa's reaction, Zhu Yuxing knew that his plan was a success, the other party had been moved by him, and the rest was time to draw the big cake.

  Zhu Youxing immediately started the mode of painting cakes: "As far as I know, is there a new cultural revitalization plan by the government recently? The purpose is to vigorously develop the tourism economy in Japan?"

   "Yes, this is a plan launched by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry."

  In the Japanese administrative agencies, in order to express their abilities, they will naturally go to great lengths to launch various plans and policies.

   The previous cultural industry revitalization plan was promoted by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and this had a very good response.

   As other departments at the same level, they are naturally not far behind, and have launched their own plans after that.

   Among them, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry launched a plan called "Cool Japan".

   Later, the Cool Japan Strategy Room was formed.

   The purpose of the previous cultural industry promotion plan was to promote Japanese cultural products to the world and let the world recognize Japan.

   And cool Japan is to let people from all over the world focus their attention on Japan and invite them to travel in Japan, thereby driving the economy of Japan again.

   Zhu Yuxing, who has the vision of future generations, knows that this plan is quite successful in the end, and it is much more reliable than some messy plans launched by other parallel organizations.

   Later, they came up with the idea of ​​a holy place parade, and they actually implemented it.

  This animated film called "Your Name" in the previous life brought more than 20 billion yen in revenue to the region where the film appeared.

   Take Yuxing said at this time, "What if I say that my carnival may bring more than 10 billion yen in tourism revenue to Kyoto?"
