Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

   Chapter 75 New Business

   Hayakawa Kentaro removed the old minister and replaced it with a new minister named Hayakawa Ueto, the youngest son of Hayakawa Kentaro, 35 years old this year, who has been in charge of overseas business before.

   Now that the overseas business is on the right track, he no longer needs his help, so he was called back by his father to manage a new department called the Video Game Division.

  To be honest, he really doesn't understand video games, even more confused than the old minister.

   But this time Hayakawa Kentaro gave him a clear plan.

The marketing of video games and game consoles must be completely separated from the development, and cannot be confused. The development of video games must be respected 100%. Talents.

  With these few rules, in fact, Hayakawa Zhiren can manage the management team at most, plus the cooperation between the coordination groups.

  The old director was originally transferred from the Marketing Management Department, so now he is the deputy director, and he will be mainly in charge of marketing, and he is not allowed to intervene in any game production-related matters.

  Marketing only needs to publicize the game product after getting it, and is not allowed to interfere with any game creation.

   The turning speed of Suri Electronics is extremely fast, and it was quickly readjusted in half a month.

   The people who developed the game and the console were respected, and the drive immediately changed.

   Now they don't have to be forced to make a game for how long, but they also set a minimum upper limit, restricting their game team of more than 20 people to make at least one game within three months.

   At the same time, the manpower added again is to add a new game development team, but this development team has only one task, which is to tear down the game.

   Disassemble all the game programs of the red and white machine from the inside out to see how they are made from scratch.

  Suri Electronics is a large group. They are not afraid of failure, but they are afraid of not making progress after failure.

   If it wasn't for this belief, Suri Electronics would not have developed into a large international group at all.

   At the same time, outside Zhu Yuxing's office, a man in a suit sat on the seat with a confident smile, holding a thick document in his hand, waiting patiently.

   It didn't take long for Zhu Yuxing's office door to open from the inside, and at the same time, Zhu Yuxing's voice came out.

   "You told the second engineering development team that the battery must be done well. This is the only thing that cannot be compromised. If Japan can't find a suitable product, it will look around the world."

   "Okay President, I understand."

   A young engineer walked out of Zhu Yuxing's office and walked upstairs quickly.

   "Hello sir, you can go in now."

  The man in the suit smiled and nodded at the assistant politely, then stepped into Zhu Yuxing's office.

   "Hello, President Zhuyou, nice to meet you."

   The person from the Second Engineering Development Department was just sent away, and the next person walked in immediately.

   Zhu Yuxing was really busy for a while. He was busy with the company during the day, and now he only has the opportunity to study game development at night.

   Seeing the people who came in, Zhu Yuxing glanced at the guest list on the table.

   "Is it Ishimura-san, the business manager of Kuppongi Entertainment Co., Ltd.?"

   "Yes, my name is Ishimura Sanye, and I have asked Mr. Ota to contact you before."

  Ishimura Sanno walked over to Take Yusei's desk while introducing himself.

   "Sit down, I heard that your company intends to participate in game development?"

   "Yes, our company has been producing software systems for dance machines, pachinko machines, mobile karaoke machines and other equipment in the past, and we have some experience in this area."

   As he spoke, he put the document in his hand on Take Yusei's desk and pushed it over.

   Zhu Yuxing picked up the document and began to look through it, while listening to the introduction of the other party.

   "We are also looking for a business transformation recently. We want to make a breakthrough. We became interested when we saw your company developed and produced a game console product and publicly welcomed anyone to join in making games."

"At the same time, didn't your company also add the first third-party game to your game console lineup not long ago? And those people are only halfway through, our company is thinking that maybe with our technical strength, it is also qualified to join. ."

  In the information handed over by Ishimura Sanye, it is all the basic information about their Kuppongi Entertainment Co., Ltd.

   As he just introduced, it is a company that focuses on entertainment systems and software development, which is actually a relatively young industry in today’s Japan.

   "I'm very welcome." Zhu Yuxing closed the document and nodded, "Our game consoles do need more video games, and we also need more individuals or corporate groups to join this platform."

  Ishimura Sanye said happily: "That's great, we've actually made demos of several games, but we can't run them on red and white machines without permission. Are there any requirements for us to get permission?"

  Ishimura Sanye can be said to be the first foreign company that actively wants to join the red and white machine camp, so Ishimura Sanye does not know exactly what conditions are required to obtain the authorization of the red and white machine.

"So fast?"

   This company's action is quite fast, but Zhu Yuxing is a little surprised.

   Take Yuxing thought for a moment and then asked: "What platform can your game run on now?"

"The PC platform is fine, and we also plan to launch the game on the PC platform in the future, but you also know that the price of personal computers has not completely dropped yet, and there are still a few people who actually own personal computers. I think the focus is definitely on the game console. "

  In Japan, computers are now generally more than 70,000 yen. Of course, if you want to save a second-hand mobile phone, it is no problem, it will be half cheaper.

   But if the average family has no special needs, just to play games, then obviously the game console is more cost-effective.

   Now the red and white machine only needs 7,000 yen, and a game is 3,000 to 5,000.

  Under Japan's strict copyright laws, you can't escape the cost of buying genuine games and software when you buy a PC computer. It's really more cost-effective than buying a game console directly.

  Especially after the bubble burst, people are more careful in all aspects of spending.

   Zhu Youxing nodded: "Then let me see the demo content first, and then we will make a decision."

   "Okay, I've brought the demo content here."

  Ishimura Sanye immediately took out a box of discs from his bag. The name of the demo game was recorded on the disc with a black marker. Just insert the disc into the computer and simply install it, then you can run and try it out.
