Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

   Chapter 477 A memorable day

  476

   This is a carnival about players, and is closely related to players.

   Video games are what this carnival is all about.

   Here you can find the most like-minded people from all over the world.

   Take Yuxing never imagined that he would one day hold such a carnival in person.

   This is really heart-warming.

   It's a pity that I couldn't invite those world-class stars I was familiar with.

  I really don’t know any of the film and television songs or football stars in this world.

   He felt somewhat alienated at this point.

   But he still generously spent tens of millions of dollars to find a way to invite some well-known stars to stand.

   He is not familiar with these people, but the people in this world are very familiar, and it is a beautiful thing for players to see some of their idols with their own eyes.

   For these stars, it is still very cost-effective to get hundreds of thousands of dollars just by showing their faces at the carnival. Of course, world-class first-line stars are definitely more expensive.

  Since these stars have been invited, it is natural to publicize them well. First, a small number of star lineups will be announced. Whenever players see that their favorite stars will also participate in the carnival, they will be more yearning for this carnival.

  In January and February 2003, the number of tourists in Tokyo increased suddenly and rapidly.

  The Japanese government is naturally quite happy. This is a real achievement. The Japanese people obviously have a better impression of their current government, and even many people suggested that this government should continue to be re-elected.

   It was impossible to happen in the past few years.

   Before, the Japanese people scolded the government the most, and even the shortest term of office was less than 20 days.

  It is a loss that Japan is not like South Korea, the president is a high-risk occupation and goes to jail after leaving office, otherwise the prime minister may not be enough.

   These economic benefits are real. If someone comes to travel, the economy of some shops can be rejuvenated.

  Especially the streets of Akihabara, which have gradually become trendy in recent years.

  This was just the address of a temple at first, and then gradually shops opened around it, and then electronic companies such as Suri Electronics entered it, which increased the prosperity of this street.

   But what really makes Akihabara famous is the two-dimensional culture that belongs to Japan alone, but even so, it still belongs to a small circle group.

   But it's different now.

   There are many more game shops in Akihabara now.

   Some are arcade halls where you can play games, while others are shops that sell video games.

   Here you can buy the trendiest video game products, and there are also some bonus gifts with purchases exclusive to Akihabara, making it a favorite of some collectors.

  In January and February, some foreign tourists are almost the only place to choose.

   It is really good to experience the cultural atmosphere of the place where video games are rising.

   On the entire street of Akihabara, the shop is the most stylish, and the most conspicuous is naturally the official shop of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

  This store directly occupies the three floors of the most popular area, with a total area of ​​more than 5,000 square meters.

  There are dazzling types of games here, which is simply a player's paradise.

   At this moment, because of the carnival activities of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, the largest official store in Tokyo also looks very celebratory.

  The lobby is full of brochures about the carnival, and customers who come in can pick up one of these brochures for free.

   The pages of the booklet are all stamped.

  These stamps are the location of each official Yuxing electronic entertainment store.

  If you are really a loyal player of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, then you can travel all over Japan before the carnival, knock the stamps on it, and you will get an exclusive special 10th anniversary celebration reward.

   It is rumored that the top prize will be a good chance to have a meal with the **** of games, Take Yusei.

   For players to have dinner with the **** of the game, this is simply more desirable than eating with the goddess.

   So every player who enters the store will take the booklet and collect the stamp without hesitation.

  In addition to this booklet, the current clerks have also changed into a new set of work clothes.

This is the exclusive work costume for the anniversary carnival. The highlight is a celebratory atmosphere. The entire hall will also play all the most classic game tracks of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, and there are many cheerful variation versions, so that players can advance in advance. Enter into the festive atmosphere of the carnival.

   And then there is a very substantial thing, that is, you will get a certain discount when you buy games in the official store during the carnival, and some games are very cost-effective.

   And if you buy digital games on the Battle.net side of the PC platform or the network port of the Yuxing electronic entertainment console, you will also get a bigger discount, so that you can get better games in advance without leaving home.

   In short, the celebratory atmosphere of the past two months is full.

   At this moment, the Japanese government is also working hard to help propaganda.

   This is a good opportunity to improve the national economy. Although there is no way to fundamentally change the status quo of the entire country, at least it is a big gain to serve the people well and let them scold the government less.

  For a time, the number of foreign tourists in the Tokyo area has surged rapidly, and the data is refreshed almost every day.

   At this time, Suri Electronics chose to avoid the edge for a while, and did not compete with Zhuyouxing at this time, because it was very unprofitable.

   This time, Youxing Electronic Entertainment has even endorsed it by the government. It is obviously self-inflicted to compete with others at this time.

   But the other person is not very happy.

   He is YOO's Nagao Rain.

  He is a person who started on the Internet. He has a lot of investment money in his hand and has nowhere to spend. Originally, he felt proud that he could rely on the money offensive to gain more attention.

   But he didn't expect that he used money to suppress Yuxing Electronic Entertainment several times, but it didn't work. Now Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has regained the attention because of a carnival. He couldn't bear it.

If    continues like this, his previous efforts will probably be in vain.

   So he decided without hesitation to add money to play more of his own advertisements to promote the works of several game studios he acquired, hoping to attract the attention of other players in this way.

   It’s a pity that such efforts have really had little effect.

  Youxing Electronic Entertainment is now the top of the game industry. Their fame naturally attracts countless people, and the benefits of doing things are multiplied with half the effort.

   What I did in Nagaoyu was half the effort, and it was a huge loss.

   Even Hayakawa Ueto suggested that Nagao Yu should not compete with Zhu Yuxing at this time, because it is not cost-effective. If you have the money, you can invest it well in the next wave.

   However, Nagao Yu does not seem to want to follow the advice of allies, but continues to increase investment in game advertising.

   Zhu Youxing doesn't care about this at all, because Zhu Youxing knows that this guy will fall down sooner or later, and the Internet bubble will burst at almost any time. Now he just needs to wait for him to fall.

   Investors' money is not so easy to get, they need real real money in return.

   Now many Internet companies are burning money like crazy, but there are not many ways to make money.

   Nagao Yu's e-commerce and game production will have some potential, but these will not make up for the money he spent.

   It can only be said that Internet upstarts like Nagaoyu are easily fooled by money. Their success is too fast. After all, it can only be regarded as a flash in the pan, and finally disappear completely.

   Zhu Youxing vaguely remembered that there was a story about the rise of Internet upstarts in the history of Japan in his previous life.

   After the internet upstarts in the previous life had some voice and money, they naively believed that they already belonged to the capital class, and then they were ready to attack the cornerstone of the interests of those old chaebols.

   Then, the final result of these Internet upstarts was to be ruthlessly crushed. In Japan, almost no Internet companies grew up, because the old chaebol felt threatened and forced these young people to die directly.

  In Japan, few people who dare to touch the chaebol cake have good fruit to eat.

   The harder you jump now, the harder you will fall in the future.

   But Zhu Yuxing also intends to ignore this Nagao rain on purpose.

   He found that the more he ignored this guy, the more he jumped out of it, so it would be better to just play the game and let him dance more cheerfully. It is best to play himself to death, and then he can still reap a wave.

   devoured all the wealth he left behind.

   Now, he already has a certain right to speak and capital on the Internet, but it is only hidden and does not show much, but Zhu Yuxing, who knows that the future must belong to the Internet, will definitely not miss this opportunity.

   After all, game development costs money, and he still has a super dream in the future, which is to develop the best games.

   How can I have the confidence to make the best game without saving a little money?

  Nagaiyu continued to increase investment, but it did not affect the amount of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

  Carnival is an event that many players are looking forward to very much, and they will not change their minds because of the heavy promotion of other games.

   Even if Nagao Yu also followed the example of Zhu Yuxing and held a game celebration conference, it did not affect too much.

   And the time quietly came to the end of February.

The venue for the   Youxing Carnival has also been basically built.

   The main venue promotes the venue.

   At this time, a temporary three-story steel structure celebration area has been built at the fastest speed.

  The center of the first floor is a huge screen.

   All the press conferences about video games will be held here, and the live broadcast will be broadcast here during the game time in another venue, so that more players can experience the charm of e-sports.

   And the second floor is a large trial area and viewing area.

  In the viewing area, there will occasionally be a relevant game person in charge to interact with the players and communicate with the players in-depth about the content of the game.

  The third floor is a completely open-air venue that can accommodate more than 20,000 people at the same time without the slightest problem.

   On the day of the carnival, there will be a great concert on the third floor, an open-air concert.

   And in order to get this done, Take Yusei spent over 100 million dollars for this.

   This is the most extravagant consumption after Zhu Yuxing came to this world.

   In the past, he had never spent so much money.

   This feeling of being able to spend money as much as you like is really cool.

   But you should save money or save money. This is the tenth anniversary carnival, which is very memorable, so it is reasonable to spend this money.

   The carnival in the back may be more advanced and interesting than this, but it is estimated that it will not cost so much.

   And, in fact, this carnival has spent so much money, and so far it has returned a lot of money.

   Esports tickets at the sports arena next door are more expensive than the carnival.

  The price over there ranges from 7,000 yen to 50,000 yen depending on the location.

   It seems that the ticket money alone has already earned back more than one billion yen, which is the income of the event tickets for several days.

   In addition to event tickets, there are more peripherals that are selling out quickly.

   It can be said that if the money earned in the past few days continues, if it is not good, you can earn back all the money you spent.

   means that players crowdfunded a grand carnival event.

   In the last few days, players are looking forward to it.

   For a time, hotels and apartments near the carnival venue in the Tokyo area were crowded with people.

   No one can accurately estimate how many players there will be this time, even the current Yuxing Electronic Entertainment cannot accurately determine.

   Now Tokyo is a lively scene even at night.

  Many locals even feel as if they are back in the good old days before the bubble burst.

   They even shed moved tears because of this, not knowing what to say for a while.

   Really makes people nostalgic for the era before the bubble burst.

Many players can be seen getting together in the streets and alleys. Some of them are exchanging ideas about the game, while others are exchanging precious Pokémon on hand, which also proves the dominance of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment. force.

  …

   The next day, February 28, today is the last day of February.

  Tomorrow is the opening day of the carnival.

  The enthusiasm of the players reached its peak on this day. They also gave full play to their ability to line up today, and set up tents directly at the gate of the venue, waiting to rush into the carnival venue tomorrow morning.

   This also formed a unique scenery, with colorful tents around the entrance of the venue, and people gathered in twos or more to play games together.

   It is a great pleasure to have so many like-minded people playing games together.

   At this moment, video games allow everyone to have no barriers. Everyone is here for one thing, and that is to be happy.

   Here, just being happy is enough.

   March 1st, that's how it came.

   Then, when 0:00 a.m. on March 1st, many players gathered together to play games in twos and threes, and suddenly there were bursts of roaring sounds in the direction of the venue.

  People raised their heads in surprise and looked in the direction of the voice, and then they saw a scene at the bottom of the valley that they will never forget in their entire lives.

   It was a fireworks show accompanied by pulsating music.

   In the middle of the night, the carnival opened without warning, which was beyond the expectations of all players.
